IMPORTING YELLOW METAL
Large Orders Given by New Y ork
Financial Houses.
INCREASING THE RESERVE.
Present Indications Are That 1t Will
Pass the 500, 100000 Mark.
When That Is Done the Treasury Will
Again Resume the Issuance of Gold
Certificates-The Quantity Now Out
standing-The Business World.

WASHINGTON, July 2S.-The large or
ders given by New York financial houses
for gold abroad to be imported, is regard
ed at the treasury department az a favora-
bic symptom of returning confidence.
Much OF the gold now coming here is the
same which was exported three months
ago.
The heavy shipment of American cereals
abroad within the last two months has
materially reduced the balance of trade
against us. In such circumstances it will
be natural for the United States to con-
tinue to receive gold from abroad. Gold
in considerable quantities is also coming
here from the West Indies. This Spanish
gold on reaching our shores, finds its way
TO the assay offices, is melted into bars
and this aud the European gold soon
finds Judgment in the United States treas
ury.
From present indications the gold in the
treasury will therefore soon pass $780,
600, 600. 1t is today S97, $50, 600. When
the 00,000, 900 mark is passed the treas
ury will again resume the issuance of gold
certificates which law had TO be suspended
when the treasury gold was below 500,
600, 900. Gold certificates now outstand-
ing aggregate SIS, 600, coo, an unusually
small quantity for the treasury to have.
The department, however, shows little
or 20 interest in the amount OF gold,
whether it be 500, 900, 600 or $50. 900. 900
as it is the policy of Secretary Carlisle tx
use the gold on hand the same as he doe.
currency, in meeting the obligations o
the treasury. So far. for several months
past, the gold reserve has been treated al
available cash. On this basis the avail
able cash in the treasury today is S122,
000O, 900.

SAD EXPERIENCE.
Seeking an Erring Wife a Husband Drops
Dead in a Saloon.

Seeking an Erring Wife a Husband Drops
Dead in Saloon.
Los ANGELES, CAL, July 2s.-Michael
O'Neil, of Fairplay, Mo-, late postmas-
ter in that place, dropped dead in saloon
at Rodondo, near this place. O'Neil mar
ried few years ago his second wife, a
handsome young woman, daugh-
ter of farmer living near Fair
play. They had been married about a
year when rumors reached the husband s
ears of an intimacy between his wife and
a young mechanic. He refused to credit
them, but three weeks ago his wife and
her paramour disappeared. Taking his
12-year-old daughter with him, for
there was no one to sake care of her, he
went in search of his wife. He traced
her to st. Joseph, thence to Kansas City,
where he ascertained the pair had Dur-
chased tickets for Los Angeles. He came
here and has been in the city some days
making thorough search, but was m
able to gain any trace OF them. Despair
ing he gave himself up to intoxicants.
A day or two ago he learned of his
wife's stopping place here, and tracing
her, found she had gone to Rodondo. He
went there, found she had gone to Cata-
lima island, and while waiting for her to
return he wandered into saloon and or
dered drink of whisky. While waiting
for it he dropped dead. His child was
by his side at the time, and implored the
barkeeper to give him no more whisky.
O'Neil was well known politically
throughout Missouri.

Tho Odd Way Austrian Took to Get
Money and to the Worlds Fair.
CHICAGO, July 2s.-Ignatz Leikovtc, of
337 East Fifth street, New York, has made
the most sensational trip on record to
an express package, consigned to the
'Old Vienna in the Midway Plais-
ance. Lefkovtc is an Austrian, and had
been out ofwork for several weeks. He
yearned for fame, and incidentally dollars.
and thoughts trip to the Worlds fair in a
box might pave the way for dime museum
career, and he promptly put the scheme
in execution. He secured his box,
and being without funds, negotiated
an emergency loan, with which he
purchased a small stock OF provisions
and drink. He climbed into his
box last Saturday afternoon. The articles
put in with him were: Two bundles of
shavings, one picture of Grover Cleve-
land, one picture of the Emperor of Aus
tria, one American flag, one Austrian
flag, twenty-five pounds of Ice wrapped
in blanket, one chunk of Frank
furter sausages, one loaf OF bread, four
bottles of lemonade, two bottles or
ginger ale, one bottle OF rum, one bottle
of vinegar and one thermometer. His
friends carefully nailed up the box and
consigned it in this way: "Glass, this
side up, handle with care, Old Vienna,
jackson park, Chicago
The box was handed over to the Ameri-
can Express company at the Forty
seventh street office, and it left New York
! Saturday evening. 1t reached "Old Vi
enna' this afternoon. The mana
ger protested violently against paying
express charges of $3.50 on
box CT glass, of which they had no
record. When the cover was knocked Of
out sprang Lefkovtc, to the great aston
ishment of those present. Waving the
American and Austrian flags above his
head, he shouted: 81 am Viennese my
self Hurrah for old Vienna!D
The spectators thought he was mad
man, but he soon explained how he
reached the old square without paying a
cent, and from that moment he was a
hero.
He had not been long out of his box
before the blistering sun began to effect
him, but he soon recovered. He was
celebrating famously when the
hard-hearted exposition officials heard
of the incident, and ordering out the
Columbian guards, Lefkovtc was arrested
for beating his way into the fair, anc
landed in the Woo6lawn police station
Friends came to his rescue and he was
released on bail.

LADY MANAGERS AT WAR.
They Have Been Having Hot Time
Over Appointments.
A Grand Concert by Members of the
Order of United scandinavian Singers
-Four Great Artists Present
and Big Orchestra.

CHICAGO, July 2S.-The Worlds fair
will again be open next Sunday. The
council OF administration decided on this
tonight. Some time ago during the Sun
day closing agitation Charles Clingman,
one of the stockholders, asked in the state
court for an injunction to prevent the
closing of the fair on Sunday. 1t will be
remembered that Judge Stein granted an
injunction, but owing to subsequent ac-
ton in the federal court and the resolve
of the directory finally to close the gates
this action remained in Statu quo.
This week, however, Clingman brought
his case up again and Judge Stein today
cited the council of administration to
answer next Monday for contempt Tor
violating the Injunction.
The council of administration tonight,
in view of this action, decided to open
the gates next Sunday, and it is hoped
that in the following week the matter OF
Sunday closing may be definitely settled
once and for all.
Today the weather was delightfully."- cool
with light clouds tempering the rays OF
the SUM- The result is visible in the in
crease in attendance at the Worlds falr,
and the low rates by the railroads are ex-
pected to add large numbers from tn e
rural districts within few days.
There were no special features OF i'm
portance today. The national commits
sion met and endeavored to do a little
business, but it was warm and they soon
adjourned to go in body to the Wild
West show on the invitation OF Buffalo
Bill.
The lady managers, who have been
having hot time for several days over
the question OF appointments of women
as judges of exhibits and how the ap-
pointments should be mace, had another
excited session. Factions have developed
and just now matters are far from peace
able in the meetings OF the ladies.
| Members of the order of United Scandi-
navian Singers of America gave gran6
concert at the festival hall this after
noon. In conjunction with the festiva
was an orchestra of 120 pieces, and foul
artists from the leading opera houses o.
Europe were on the programme.
The total admissions today was III, 1913
of which IL 500 were paid.

ATTENDANCE AT THE FAIR.
Railroad Men Gather statistics Which
Are Comforting to Them.

CHICAGO, July 2S.-Railroad managers
are gathering statistics showing the
average daily attendance at the Centen-
NAL and the Worlds fair. At the CEN
tennial the average daily attendance for
May was q, 900; at the Worlds fair,
sc, 600; at the Centennial for June the
average attendance was q 900, and at the
Worlds fair it was 9,1T0. For twenty
one days of the present month the
average attendance at the Worlds fair
daily has been go, 200. At the Centennial
the average daily attendance for the
whole month of July was 23,6O0; for
August, 1865; for September, $4,000; for
October, Sc, 100. and for November,
81, 500.
Railroad men gather great deal of COM
fort from these figures and believe that
the closing months of the Worlds fair
will show tremendous increase over the
attendance at the Centennial. 1t will be
seen that the bulk of the revenue for the
Centennial came in the closing season,
and that the Worlds fair figures have
been long way above the centennial re-
turns for the season up to date, in spite OF
the fact that foreign travel has amounted
to nothing and that the bulk of domestic
travel has yet TO move toward Chicago in

LONDON. July 28.-Newspapers today
devote much space to editorial comment
on last nights happening in the COM
mons. The Times gravely talks about
s'the suppression Of free debate by a
tyrannical majority as being tbs moving
cause but has nothing to say about the
way closure was applied during Balfour's
reign. 1t regrets that the opposition took
notice of the disgraceful insults with
which Chamberlain was assailed, - and
says: sSuch pothouse manners might
have been left to serve as an example Of
what would occur in the Irish legislature
should Gladstone succeed in establishing
that "prepOsterous body. - !" Other
Tory papers comment on similar vein.
Gladstonian papers refer TO the insults
flung at Gladstone by Chamberlain, and
call attention to the fact that the first
blow in the scuffle was struck by Con-
ser7ative. They also find 1t worthy Of
note that O'Connor manfully apologized
for what he said, while there was no hint
of apology or Tetraction from Mr.
Chamberlain and his abettors.

GREAT BR1rAIN,s POSITION.
A Sensational Story cabled to New York
Last Night.

NEW YORK, July Is. = The Worlds
special London cable says: England
threw off today the mask of apathy be-
hind which she has been concealing her
real feelings about the Siamese complica-
tions. She is rapidly making ready to
put herself across the pathway of tri-
umphant France. IL is reported tonight
that the foreign Office has instructed
Dufferin to demand of the French gov
eminent positive assurance that English
ships will not be molested, but allowed
to enter and leave Siamese ports freely
and if the French government refuses, he
is to ask for his passport and leave Paris
at once. There seems TO be an element OF
truth in this report.
