Washington.


Washington.
WASHINGTON, July 28.--James A. Ross,
vice. president of the Association OF
the Negro Democracy clubs, issued a call
tonight for a meeting of the negro
Democracy of the country in Washing
ton, August Gath. In the call he says in

country having reached such q position
in the body polite as to demand respect.
IL is deemed wise that conference be

WAsHINGroN, July 2S. = The large
orders given by New York financial
houses for gold abroad to be imported
are regarded at the treasury department
as favorable symptom of returning
confidence. Much of the geld now
coming here is the same exported sew
eral months ago. The heavy shipment
OF American cereals abroad within the
past two months has materially reduced
the balance of trade against us. Under
such circumstances it will be natural for
the United States to continue to receive
gold from abroad. Gold in considerable
quantities is also coming here from the
West Indies. This Spanish gold on
reaching our shores finds its way to the
assay offices and is melted into bars, and
this and the European gold coon find
lodgment in the United States treasury.
From the present indications the gold in
the treasury will therefore soon pasa
$100,000,000. 1t is today s97, ,l6O,-
600. When the $100,OOO,0OO mark
is passed the treasury will again
resume the issuance of gold certificates
which by law had to be Suspended whe /
the treasury gold was reduced belo \
500, 100000. The gold certificates no \
outstanding aggregate $4,000, 600, e.
unusually small quantity for the treasuI !,
to have. The department, however
shows little or no interest whatever iii

the department on higher education.
President Low of Columbia college
Prof. West of Princeton, and others
we're heard. The line of debate as to

drawn between President Jordan OF L.
land Stanford, ir., university OF Califor-
mia, and Prof. Hale of Chicago univer-
sity, the distinguished educator from the
Pacific coast expressing the opinion that
modern literature contained ample food
for the highest culture.
The degradation of the degrees of
doctor of philosophy and doctor of SCI
ence by the indiscriminate conferring of
such by Institutions of a low standard,
was strongly condemned. Resolutions
were passed on the subject and Presi-
dents Gilman, Harper, Dwight, Angel,
Patton and Low were appointed as
committee to devise ways and means to
correct the evil.
Bishop Keane of the Catholic univer-
sity of America addressed the congress

our colleges and universities to the ad-
vancement of civilization.
