A SCANDAL COMPROMISED.
BIZ cable to the United Press

BIZ Gable to the United Press.
BERLIN. Nov. 6, 1S93.-The papers here
comment somewhat lengthily on the fact
that Lieutenant Sierstorpf, who was
prominent in the great Hanover gambling
case. was permitted to command the
Emperor's escort on Saturday, when his
Majesty went on O hunting expedition.
In military circles it is now believed that
the officers compromised in the scandal
will be reprimanded and not dismissed
the service, as it was at first thought
would be their fate.
The National Zettuflg, referring to the
proposed legislation for the suppression
of gambling, says that the State lotteries
will not be suppressed. 1t said, however
that the taxes Oh lottery tickets and race
tickets will be increased sixty per cent.

PAYING OUT GOLD COIN.

Washington, Aug. 25.-The treasury
department here today began paying
out gold on all checks presented. The
redemption paper money is made in
the same class as money presented.
The reason for the gold payments here
is that the treasury because of its
small receipts and large expenditures,
has exhausted its paper money. Today
the treasury books showed a $97, 1000, 900
gold reserve and a net balance of $11,-
100000. This balance is composed al
most exclusively of subsidiary coin
te reserve being used in payments of
obligations OF the government. Secre-
tary Carlisle recommended an imme-
date appropriation of 100000, for con-
tinuing the recoinage of fractional sill
yer coin, and an appropriation of $44,-
900, for printing treasury notes. The
department OF agriculture has received

French government has dete-r'ined TO
admit American forage into France
