GOLD CERTIFICATES.

Their Issue Is, in Accord with the Act of
Congress, Temporarily Suspended.
NEW YORK, April 15.-An order was
received at the b-treasury at New York
today to suspend the issue of gold certifi-
Gates, in accordance with the provisions
of the act OF Congress of July IL, 1892,
which says when the gold coin or bullion
held in the treasury for redemption of
United States notes falls below 500, 900,
COO, the issue of certificates shall cease.
The gold certificates in common use are
those issued under the act OF July IL,
1882. The acting assistant treasurer in
charge of the sub treasury said:
"This step on the part of the secretary
of the treasury simply means the carry
out of the provisions OF the law. 1t does
not mean that the government will re-
ceive deposits of gold coin and refuse to
pay back in like kind. Any one who
deposits gold coin here will receive legal
tender notes. In other words, instead of
issuing for gold deposit certificate which
are necessarily redeemable in gold the
treasury will issue legal tender notes for
which gold will always be paid if de-
manded. The only difference which the
stopping of these certificates makes is
that the treasury department. will not
issue them Tor gold as IL mas been doing.
The secretary is merely anticipating the
withdrawal of gold, which will probably
be made for shipment for next Tuesdays
German steamer, and there is no reason
for uneasiness because this step is taken
by the department. Ii is the first time
the issues of certificates have been sus-
pended because it is the first time the re-
serve has almost reached the 500, 600, 900
point with immediate exports expected.
Under previous act the issue was sus-
pended by Secretary Sherman in 1879.

DRAIN or YELLOW METAL.
Continued Export Is to Meet the
Demand of Austria.
THE TREASURY BALANCE.
Issue OF Gold Certificates to Stop for
the Present.
Prudence Dictates This Course as the FIR z,
Gold Is Getting Down Close to the
Gold Reserve-More Talk
of Bond Issues.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-The continued
export of gold from this country to meet
the Austrian demand has reduced the free
gold in the United States treasury to ST.
$50, 000. In the belief that gold will con-
tinue to be exported for some time and in
order to supply the demand for gold and
replenish the depleted stock in the New
York sub-treasury it is stated that the
treasury department has been shipping
gold from the treasury to New York for
the last week. The amount thus shipped,
it is thought, was not less than $40. 900, 600
and maybe more.
The statement of the condition of the
treasury made daily to the secretary shows
that the net balance is gradually crawling
up, being today S25, 937, 139. OF this
amount $4,000, 900 is in subsidiary coin
and S10,500, 600 in national bank deposit
tories.
Secretary Carlisle today directed sub
treasurers throughout the United States to
issue no more gold certificates at present.
In explaining this action Secretary Car
Isle said this afternoon, that while $780,
600, 600 gold reserve was not reached, he
was SO close to it that prudence dictated
that no more gold certificates should be
issued.
The announcement for the first time
since specie payments were resumed, that
it was necessary to stop the issue of gold
certificates, is followed by a rumor that
the president has decided to issue six
million dollars of four per cent. bonds to
protect the gold reserve in case il became
necessary.
Secretary Carlisle, replying to query
regarding the rumor, said, "Six millions
of bonds have not been issued.' The
secretary did not state explicitly that no
bonds were to be issued. 1t was ascer-
tanned subsequently that precautionary
measures which were commenced under
the Harrison administration of preparing
to meet the emergency by an issue of
bonds ii necessary, has been carried
step further under the present admins
tration, in recognizing the fact of pre-
paration of bonds as matter OF time.
Secretary Foster directed the bureau of
engraving and printing to prepare large
number of bonds bearing per cent. in
terest as authorized by the resumption
act. 1t is learned that S., 600 900 of these
bonds are now being advanced further on
the stages toward completion, so if it
should be deemed necessary and proper
to issue them or any part OF them rather
than break in upon the gold reserve the
emergency could be met with least posi-
BILE delay.

AMERICAN RAILWAY UNION.
A New Organization Whose object Is the

A New Organization Whose object Is the
Adjustment of Strikes.
CHICAGO, April 15.-Men who, for sew
eral days have been laboring on the
formation of an American Railway
union, today completed the first step in
the enterprise, and issued lengthy docu-
ment setting forth the outline of the or
ganization. The union proposes to enlist
as far as possible all railway employees of
every description and its avowed object is
the adjustment of strikes and boycotts
and the eradication of heavy taxes and
dues which members of the various or
CARNATIONS are now compelled to pay.
The founder of the union claims the or
ganization will in no sense conflict with
existing orders. Its design primarily,
they say, is for great number OF men
who belong to no organization whatever.
Besides the regulation of labor troubles
the organization contemplates several
side issues. such as an employment
bureau and insurance department.. A
meeting will be held on Monday for the
election of officers

Ahlwardt charges have caused the presi.
dent of the reiehstag would have shown
better tack If he had less rigidly followed

Events In Belgium are giving the for
e1gn office here greater anxiety than the
ServI an coupe d'etat. This is known to
have been concoeted in Paris in Russian
interests. An armed conflict over the
popular demand for a revision of the Bel
gIan constitution resulting in revolution
and the placing In power OF the allies of
France is within the bounds of probabiIi-
ty. The French papers are already in
dulglng IN surmises as to what Germany
will do in the event of the monarchy in
Belgium being submerged.

gans that compact exists between EN-
peror William and King Leopold to ar

With regard to Servia if the French gov
eminent did not inspire the coup d'etat
1t was concocted under its knowledge.
Ten days ago Dekoitch, who is now King
Alexander's prime minister, visited ex-
King Milan at Paris, and with him
planned the coup which the boy king ex-
ecuted. The event has importance as a
positive factor in early disturbances on
the Bulgarian frontier, which will in
volve the attention of Germany and Aus
tria.
In conversation On the Samoan diff
Guilty William Walter Phelps, American
minister, said he regretted the failure of
Chief Justice Cederkrantz to fulfill his

di. Cederkranbz in his short term of Of
fee upset a carefully contrived union Of
three opposing interests. AIr. Phelps
said also that he thought a new confer

NAVIEs OF THE WORLD
The British Fleet Expected at Fort
ress Monroe ON Monday.
This Preparatory to the Great Review
Italian, French and Brazilian
Vessels Expected.

Fort MONROE, Va, April 15.-This re-
sort is in a state of feverish excitement
today over the expected arrival of the
British feet preparatory to the great re-
view of the navies of the world. Admiral
Gherardi expects the Britishers early on
Monday morning aQd to be followed next
day by three Italian ships and possibly
the French and Brazilian vessels. The
Third, Russian, which has been due for
some days, has not made her appearance.
Inspector General Breckenridge, in full
regalia, accompanied by two staff officers,
started the guns to firing on the Philadel-
phia when he paid an official call upon
Admiral Gherardi today and an hour
later they again belched forth the num-
Der due his rank when he departed.
Following the generals launch were
any number of others from the fleet, tax
ing visitors out to see the ships. Barges
and gigs, whale boats and cutters rowed
by vigorous tars were conveying persons
all morning, and now and then a gig
would come ashore with the captain OF
some ship, and the government wharf
would Immediately be the scene of ami
mated activity as they watched the pretty
sight of ten or twelve jack tars landing
the commander with pomp and care.
Sixty young women at the Hyge1a
hotel gave handsome German tonight to
many officers from the ships. Crowds
continue to pour in. This mornings
steamer brought many people from the
north who were unable to secure quarters.
This afternoon a boat race between the
crews OF the Chicago and San Francisco,
attracted much attention. The boats were
14-oared barges and the race grew out of
the fact that Chicago's crew. which was
never beaten, sent purse of 3, 900 con-
tributed by officers and men, over to the
San Franclsco's. The challenge was
promptly accepted and the race set for 3
o'clock. The course was mile and with
turn. The San Francisco crew won
easily
