THE TREASURY EMPTY OF GOLD,
Serious Phase of the Financial
Situation.
Uncle Sans Stock of the Yellow
Metal Exhausted.
Private Vaults Drawn Upon to Supply
the Demand for Export to Europe
Which Shows No Signs
of Decreasing.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
New York, Feb. IA local paper in
the morning will say: The United
States treasury is practically empty oi
gold and New York banks are obliged tc
come to the relief of the government.
That is serious situation that confronte
the secretary of the treasury and the
fnanciers of the country. The drain Of
American gold coin to Europe has at
last exhausted the resources of the gov
ernment, and the private stores in the
vaults have been drawn upon to tide
over the emergency. The secret has
been we'll kept, but of $$3, 500, 900 in
American gold that was shipped to
Europe last Saturday $2,O0O,0O was
loaned to the Hub-treaHury by banks of
this city. Tho entire supply Of gold in
the vaults of the United States treasury
today is reduced to $I08, lie, 1888. OF
this only IS, ,176, ,93S is free gold the re-
manning 500, 100000 must be BY law
held in the treasury for the redemption
OF like amount Of legal tender notes
which have been issued against it.
Nor has the drain of gold stopped.
Arrangements were made by foreign
bankers today for the shipment of $3,-
100000 in gold next Saturday. Other
shipments will probably be heard from
tomorrow, and 1t is the impression in
Wall street today that this weeks ex-
ports will reach about 81, 1000, 900. This
would leave only little over Sc. 900 900
free gold in the treasury, probably hard
ly sufficient for single weeks supply.
Since Monday actual short sterling
rates of exchange have gone up from
$4.87L to $4.88, less commission,
George G. Williams, president of the
New York Clearing House association,
and also president of the Chemical Ma
tional bank, spent a great deal of time
yesterday arranging for further loan
OF gold to the treasury department.
He went to several banks and
appealed that for the public good
they should join in contributing
OF the gold reserves enough to keep up
the supply of free gold in the treasury to
meet all demands until steps can be
taken to otherwise meet the emergency.
1t is understood his appeals were sue
cessful in all instances. Four banks
had already advanced 1900, 600 Of gold
last Friday to meet the demands for
Saturdays exports.

A wonderful Machine.

There is no doubt that man is q fine mechan-
ism, but like every other machine he wears out
by friction. 1t is said that he is born again
every two or three years. His body is virtually
re-made from food. To retard this making
over is radically wrong, as man loses so much
vitality in the delayed process that it takes a
long time to recuperate. The process of max
ing anew is so accelerated by purging with
BRANDRETH's PILLS that a new man, as it were,
may be made in two or three months, and the
change in the mechanism is such that the worn
out part is replaced by the new without the
usual running down of the entire machine.
You don't have to stop for repairs. Purge away
with BRANDRETH's PILLS the old, diseased and
worn out body. They are purely vegetable
absolutely harmless and safe to take ut any
time.

Legislative Investigation Into the Opera

ST. PAUL. March 15.-The joint legislative
committee investigating the coal combine
created sensation by seizing the books of
John j. Rhodes, manager of the Minnesota
Bureau of Coal Statistics. They were
guarded At the state capitol till this morn
Ing. when Rhodes sent a petition to the
Legislature for their return. claiming that
they pertainsd only TO his personal affairs.
In the house the petition was referred to
the special committee having the investiga-
tion in charge, without discussion. In the
senate the matter was antagonized, appar-
emily under Misrepresentation. for all the
opposition was withdrawn after fiery
speech by Donnelly. He said the committee
had not yet had time to examine the books
thoroughly, but hurried look into few of
them revealed the existence of a combine
the like of which has not heretofore been
known.
1t set prices and dealers venturing to de-
viats hairs breadth were shut off from all
source of supply. The books showed that
although Rhodes declared he knew of no
such thing as q coal combine, he had re-
ceived thousands of dollars RS fees from
those depending on the com hine. and letters
showed that dealers who venturel to cut
rates oven one cent per ton had been shut
of from all supplies of coal. More sensa-
ttOns are promised.
