DRAIN on YELLOW METAL.
An Extraordinary Amount
Ordered for Export.
FREE GOLD is WIPED OUT.
The Treasury Reserve Invaded Nearly
$3,OOO,OOO.
Treasury Officials ReIiera This Invasion
FREE GOLD IS WIPED OUT.
Treasury Officials Believe This Invasion
Is But Temporary and That Few
Days Will Restore the
Depleted Reserve.

WASHINGTON, April 21.-At the cabinet
meeting this morning, at which all mem
bers of the cabinet were present with the
exception of Secretary Herbert, of the
navy department. the financial situation,
it is understood, was almost the exclusive
topic of discussion. The meeting lasted
for two hours and a half and was the
longest session of the cabinet since the
new administration came into power.
When the treasury department. closed
its doors this afternoon the gold reserve
of 500, 600 900 was invaded to the extent
of 81, 800, 900 to S.. 900, 900. When the day
opened there was in the treasury $1S5, 900
free gold. This amount was increased by
gold offers from the west aggregating
about 81, 25O, 900. Large Withdrawals Of
gold for shipment from New York cut
this down to such an extent that when
the cabinet met, Secretary Carlisle found
that orders for gold up to that time (about
II o'clock had wiped out the free gold
and invaded the gold reserve to the extent
of g, 557, 600.
As far as it can be officially ascertained,
this amount was taken out of the gold re-
serve today for export. tomorrow, al
though it is unoficially stated that $500,
600 In gold, exclusive of that taken out at
New York, was Withdrawn from the sub
treasury at Boston for export to Canada.
If so this would make about 81, 800, 900 in
gold taken out of the country for ship
ment tomorrow and leave the gold re-
serve invaded to the extent of SO, 600, 600,
or the total gold in the treasury at
S95, 000, 200.
1t is believed this invasion is but tenn
porary and within a few days the
depleted reserve will be restored
to its original figure of 500, OOO,-
900. While nothing official can be
obtained here as to the decision of the
treasury department in regard to pay
ment in gold of treasury notes of 1890,
the fact that these notes on being paid in
gold upon representation proves conclu-
sively that they will, for the present at
least, be redeemed as heretofore.
The construction placed upon Secretary
Carlisle's statement, given to the press
last night, was that when he reached the
limit of the gold reserve he would exercise
his discretion and pay this class of notes,
when presented for redemption, in silver.
To this extent only are the occurrences of
today surprise. 1t can be stated with
posiJiveness here that there is no dis
agreement on the financial situation be-
tween the president and Secretary Car
Isle or among members of his cabinet.

there will doubtless not be any surprise
if movements in stocks, as we'll as in the
money and sterling exchange markets,
are erratic for some time.
Manager Sherer of the clearing house,
said with regard to the gold situation:
81 do not think any action necessary; as
no artificial restriction that could be
placed upon the export of gold would
mend matters in the least or check the
outflow. We are simply coming to silver
basis in the natural course of events, and
if the present mode of fnanciering con-
tinues, we will soon have no gold in the
country, but will have plenty of silver. -

The whole community will be mex
pressibly shocked in reading the above.
The young man was well known on this
city, having been the only son OF Major
q. S. Erb, who was for fifteen years the
proprietor of the Walker House. He was
about twenty-four years OF age, and was
educated in the east. He spent several
years at the works of the Brush Electric
works at Cleveland, Ohio, where he
thoroughly mastered the electrical sci
ence- He afterwards took course at the
Columbia school of mines in New York
city, and seemed to possess every re-
quirement necessary for the achievement
OF success in life. Although mingIing in
society to a considerable extent, he was
OF stndicus and retiring disposition.
The deceased came to this city after the
completion of his eastern studies in
1889 and remained here until his father re-
tired from business abouta year ago, when
he went to the coast as travelling agent
of the Rio Grande Western. He severed
his connection with that company, how
ever, and since that time his friends in
this city had lost track of him.
The sympathy of hosts of friends in
this city viii go out to the bereaved father.

At $3.50 o. clock this morning the timbers
of the pump station at the 4OO-foot level
of the Silver Bow shaft No. 2, belonging
caught fire. Before the alarm could be
sent through the mine nine men working
in the slopes and levels were suffocated by
smoke and gas.
The fire Is supposed to have originated
by the explosion of lamp, of which four
were kept lighted at the station. The
timbers were very dry, and when the
blaze started it spread with such rapidity
that the miners in shaft No. l, nearly
fifteen hundred feet distant, had barely
time to escape from the gas, which found
its way through connecting cross-cut at
the 400 foot level.
That the fire may be extinguished AS
soon as possible and the bodies of the
men recovered, the shaft on which the fire
started is being flooded with water. A
rescuing party will attempt to descend to
the 800 foot level tonight. The damage to
the property will be considerable.
John Kramer, pumpman, who gave the
first alarm was only one of ten In the
mine who escaped. Kramer was injured
slightly having been scorched about the
face and his hair badly singed. Men
went down with chemical fire exiting
uishers but could not see through the
smoke. They shouted at the top of their
voices in the hope of hearing from the
imprisoned men but received no reply,
but they could not stay long enough in
the smoke to accomplish anything.
The attempt at rescue continued several
hours and while the smoke was not great
the heat grew more intense and both of
ficials and miners have given up all hope
OF rescuing the men alive.
