Tncl.ling the Reserve.

Washington. April 22-At the cabinet
meeting this morning, at which all the
members 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 cabi-
net since the new administration came
into power. When the treasury depart
mcnt closed its doors this afternoon the
gold reserve of $1OOO00,OO0 had been in
vaded to the extent of So, 800 600 to 3d.
100000. When the day opened there
was in the treasury $1S5, 900 of free gold
This amount was increased by gold offers
from the West aggregating about $780,
900. The 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 the
orders for gold up to that time (about l
o'clock had wiped out the free gold and
invaded the gold reserve to the extent Of
$2,50O,OO0. AS far as can be officially
ascertained this is the amount taken out
of the gold reserve to-day for export to-
morrow, although it is unotticially stated
tnat 9UO,UOO IN gold, exclusive OF that
taken out at New York, had been with
drawn from tie subtreasury at Boston
for export to Canada. If so. this would
make about $5,OOO,OO0 in gold taken out
of the country for shipment tomorrow,
and leave the gold reserve invaded to the
extent Of S3,O1u,UOO, or the total gold in
the treasury at $97, OOO,OO 1t is be-
lieved that this invasion is but temporary
and that within few days the depleted
reserve will be restored to it's original
fgure-$10O,0OO 5000.

When Manitoba is pronounced Indian
fashion, with an explosive accent on
the last syllable, it is plainly enough in
part an onomatopoeia, or word express
ing it's sense by it's sound 1t means
'breath of Cod" "Manitou'' being
God, and 'ba" breath. AS properly
pronounced the last syllable is simply
a suddenly expulsion Of breath, such

who first employed the name, as accu-
rately expressive Of their meaning.

Scene of Savagery Ensues-Men Mad
With Thirst for Blood.
A minute did not elapse before the pri-
soners were in the hands of the mob. Half
dead with fear the culprits were dragged
out into the open air, where ropes were
placed around their necks with 100 men,
mad with the thirst for blood, at the end
of each. The wretches were dragged over
the Recovered rocks to piece of wood
land half mile away. Behind them fol-
lowed the remainder of the mob, firing at
the PROSTATE forms at every step. The
victims were undou btedly dead before they
had been dragged twenty yards, and it
was the mere semblance of human forms
that were strung up when the woods were
reached. Then the mob returned to look
after the dead and wounded.
The Gallant Sheriff Mortally Hurt.
Thirty wounded were found, besides the
dead, some of them fatally, among these
being gallant Sheriff Moomaw, who was
shot twice through the chest and three
times through the abdomen. The mob is
still under arms. If troops are summoned
every moonshiner for miles around will
assemble to repulse them, as these people
have little respect fC- anything but local
law and will resent any outside attempt
to force them into submission. As far as
they are concerned the case is closed, as
both the sheriff's posse and the mob are
regarded as having done their duty in dv-
ing with their boots on for their princi-
pies.

battle took place shortly after noon in

killed. What will be the result no one
here can tell, but troops are expected.
