TWO MILLIONS TO 60 OUT.
That Much Gold VIII BE Needed on
saturday-The RumOred Intention OF
Secretary Carlisle.

NEW YORK, April 19.-Bank officers,
brokers and fnanciers generally down
town were In quandary over the re-
ports that Secretary Carlisle might
issue an order directing that no more
Treasury notes be redeemed In gold.
These Treasury notes are issued In pay
uent for silver purchased by the Gov
ernment, and there are about Si30,000,-
600 of them In circulation at present,
mostly in New York and the East. The
reason for that is that the payments
for the silver are made in this city.
Most national bank presidents seen
to-day discredit the report OF Secretary
Carlisle's intentions. They were,
therefore. unwilling to attempt 20 fore
tell the result Of such an order II IL
were issued. There was concensus Of
opinion among these bank presidents
spoken to that the first effect OF such
an order would be TO send gold 70 q
small premium.
Acting Treasurer Muhleman said that
gold did not go to a premium before the
treasury notes were issued, and that al
that time the only way OF getting gold
out Of the treasury was by presentation
OF gold certificates or greenbaeks.
Considerable talk was INDUCED 10
after the close Of the Stock Exchange
about the alleged heavy shipments OF
gold by Saturdays European steamers.
Some estimates run as high as S5,000,-
600. Firms who Of late have controlled
the gold EXPORT business were inter-
viewed. So far as can be learned at
this time only one house will ship; their
consignment will be at least 50, 600, 900.
unless they can secure bills. There ap-
pears TO be a disposition on the part OF
certain exporters to avoid sending gold.
as they do not care 70 bear the criticism
which they think viii follow the break
ing in on the 500. OCn. 900 gold reserve.
The unusually high rates for exchange
have led to the talk about heavy out
flow Of gold.

THE DOWAGER DUCHESS.
She Is not In Jail, and not Likely to Be
soOn-TwO Doctors Say She's Sick.

She Is not In jail, and not Likely to Be
soon-Two Doctors Say She's Sick.
LONDON, April 19.-The story given
out Yesterday that the Dowager Ouch
ess OF Sutherland, who was sentenced
TO six weeks imprisonment in Holloway
jail for contempt Of court, had been
driven in q carriage to the prison and
locked up was universally printed and
believed.
1t transpired to-day, however, that
the report was erroneous. After the
imposition Of the sentence the Dowager
obtained from Justice Jeune an order
permitting her to so 10 villa near
Windsor with the understanding that
she would surrender herself TO the au-
thorlties to-day.
1t is now announced that the Dowa-
ger Duchess was taken suddenly i'll at
o'clock this morning. A physician was
In constant attendance upon her until
: o'clock, when her condition was such
that he summoned another doctor to
consult on the case. Later the doctors
sent certificates TO the authorities that
the Duchess was too i'll to surrender TO
undergo the sentence OF Imprisonment
imposed by Justice Jeune.
A section of the press is trying to es-
tablish the argument thatin sentencing
the Dowager Duchess, Justice Jeune
exceeded his authority and the papers
point out in support OF their contention
that a peeress is exempt from arrest in
a civil case.

New YORK, April 19.-Edwin Booth,
the tragediaD, is lying at tho Players
Club, l6 Gramercy Park, suffering from
paralysis. 1t is feared that this, the
second paralytic stroke the famous
actor has been stricken with, will prove
fatal.
At II o'clock this morning Superin-
tendent McGonnigle, OF the Players
Club, not having heard from Mr.. Booth,
opened the door OF his sleeping apart
ment at the club and found the TRACE
dian lying in bed unconscious. DR.. st.
Clair Smith and Dr. Ransom, were i'm
mediately summoned and they gave it
as their opinion that he had been
seized with a paralytic stroke some
time during the night
Doctors Smith and Ransom remained
with their patient, and at midnight,
though there were signs Of conscious
ness, his condition was considered very
critical and the attending physicians
said it was very doubtful If Mr.. Booth
would recover.
MIR. Booth was compelled to go to
Lakewood last fall on account OF i'll
health. He returned from there No
vember 4, apparently somewhat i'm
proved. He went to his home at the
Players Club, but could not be seen by
visitors.
Mr.. J. II. McGonigle, the supern-
tendent OF the club, said: THE verti-
90 which had troubled Mr.. Booth for
years made it impossible for him TO see
strangers. The moment he began to
talk to them the unusual excitement
caused him to get very dizzy. His
head whirled aud the sensation was
very unpleasant to him.
"Some time ago he met with an acct
dent which has been very much exag-
gerated. BE was sitting down talking,
and was overcome by dizziness, and
toppled over aud bumped the top OF his
forehead against the washst2nd.
"No results beyond that followed, but
the papers said that he was unconscious
for long time, and that it was regard
ed as being very serious. You remem-
Der when he was overcome at Roches-
ter it was said that his Illness was due
to smoking too much.
The real fact is that he Is now pay

week with him playing big roles. Rossi,
Salvani, Charlotte Cushman-all the
actors who have played in his line
have never attempted to play more
than three or four times week,
but the managers would come TO him
and say, If you don't play, Mr.. Booth,
il means that we will have to close the
house and we will lose lot OF money
"Mr. Booth would answer, oh, all
right, old fellow for he is klnd-heart-
ed man and did not want TO see others
suffer loss on account Of him.
''Not that he wanted the money, Ifor
he did not, be had plenty, but he did
not want TO see his friends lose any
thing by him, and so it has gone on.
He has worked when he ought to have

Investigation into the working Of the
several reciprocal trade arrangements
entered into by the United States and
south and Central America and Spain
and Porto Rico under the provisions Of
the Mckinley act, which Secretary
Gresham instituted Immediately upon

Lamb seems 70 Hare Been . Forrer.

AKRON. O., April 1Q-Lyman L. Lamb
came TO this city last fall and began opera
tions as a promoter Of industries. He car
ried bank account ranging from $1,000 TO
$1,000. One week ago he went TO Chicago,
ostensibly to close a real estate deal, tax
ing with him a letter Of introduction to
Lawyer Newman.
IL appears that Lamb presented draft
for SS5, 900 on the New York correspondent
Of the City National Bank Of Akron and
that Newman endorsed with him. On this
the SIS, 900 was drawn which Lamb has IN
his possession wherever he may be.
This evening the City National Bank re-
ceived notice from its New York CORES
pOndent that the draft had been received
and had been pronounced a forgery. The
answer given by the Akron bank was that
il was a forgery. Information received in
Akron is 70 the effect that Lamb took the
money with him when he disappeared.

$4,000 In Greenbacks for Gold CertiG-
cates-s3, 900. 900 Gold for shipment
NEW YORK, April 19.-The sub-treas-
ury received $4,000 in gold certificates
this morning in exchange for green
backs. Acting Assistant Treasurer
Muhlman said that he has received no
order from Washington relative to pay
ing out silver for treasury notes. Bel
mont 81 Co. are quoted as saying that
they have information from the highest
source that Secretary Carlisle will issue
no such order. Bankers and bank pres
idents were seen this morning, but they
refused 20 express any opinion as to
Secretary Carlisle's action in this mat
ter. 1t is reported that several houses
have given notice that they will want
gold to export this week, and that they
are somewhat anxious about their source
of supply. The amount to be shipped,
II II can be obtained, Is placed at So, ,000,-
600.
1t Is stated at the sub-treasurY that
gold will be paid out In the same man
ner as usual and upon the presentation
of treasury notes as heretofore. This
was given out TO relieve the anxiety OF
intending shippers who preferred TO
feel some apprehension as TO their abil-
ity to secure the yellow metal for ex-
port. Estimates OF probable exports
later in the week range from S2,000,00
TO S3,000,00O Owing to continued
scarcity of bills one Of the leading
bankers advanced the posted rates Of
sterling exchange to 4s6 and 400.

How the Germans Got the Better OF
Their French Opponents at the Worlds
Fair Grounds.
CHICAGO, April 10. Tonight the
great glass dome OF the Manufacturers
Building is blazing out In unexpecteu
glory. Since the installation OF the
regular arc lights to permit the WORK
men who are hammering away at the
booths to continue their labors through
the night, the building has flashed In
little patches of light. But last night
and again tonight the whole south END
Of the roof shone with a strong, steady
white glare that lit up the waves run
ming along the beach and could be seen
for many miles out in Lake Michigan.
The occasion was the test OF lights
that are to illuminate the biggest build
ing in the world.
The most novel wholesale money
grabbing scheme brought to light In
Chicago in many a day is said 10 be In
operation upon Worlds Fair exhibitors
by the railway switchmen in great out
lying mazes OF tracks at Grand Cross
ing, South Chicago and Park Side. The
dUubC ndu QuCCI OO6
is said, with some of the shrewd Ger
mans who are here installing exhibits
for the German manufacturers and mer-
chants. There has been constant
rivalry between the Germans and the
French since the work OF installation
began. The German government ex-
hibit, surmounted by the Imperial
Eagles. is just across the main aisle
from the pavilion above which waves
the tri-color of France.
The Germans were determined to
beat the French in the installation, and
a few weeks ago their agents went
through the yards paying the switch
men and yard masters to 'cut out cars"
loaded with German exhibits and shunt
them into the grounds.
1t was part of the service paid for,
according to the Frenchmen, to shunt
the French cars TO side tracks. The
upshot of this was that the German ex-
hibit made amazing progress while the
French installers bit their nails and
waited and prayed in vain for the ar
rival Of the exhibits that are to knock
the Prussian beast comparatively silly.
When the representatives Of France
learned what was the trouble they
charged over to the administration
building and the French cars were fin
ally pushed on.

soon and be pushed with the greatest
possible rapidity. When the Fair is
over, the fort will be occupied by the
monster Krupp gun, mounted for In

its immense power it can protect Chi

Go By-Mr. Lamb seems TO Have Been
FOrrer.

FOrger.
CHICAGO, April 19.-Lyman J. Lamb, a
capitalist from Akron, Ohio, is mysteri-
ously missing The matter was reported
70 the police to-day. Lamb came here TO
negotiate with attorney Jacob Newman for
some real estate north Of the city. he
drew $4,000 out of bank Monday, and
gave tue money 70 Newman in a satchel on
the street. Lamb was expected TO 60 d.
rect to Newman's Office few steps distant
after something 70 eat. Nothing has since
been seen Of him. The S2S,00O is still in
Mr. Newman's possession uncalled for.
The police when told of Mr.. Lambs dis
appearance by Attorney Newman, detailed
number of officers on the case. They are
working on the theory that Lamb was en-
ticed into a room in some neighboring
building and either drugged or slugged
into insensibility, and that upon finding be
had no money on his person the ROBBERS
left him for dead.
If he was struck on the head IL is not
unlikely that he is wandering about bereft
OF his reason, and the police all over the
city have been notified TO keek sharp
lookout for the missing man. Mr.. Lamb
is described as quiet business man, and
not In the least likely 10 have neglected a
business engagement or TO have left such a
sum of money in the hands OF a cOmpara-
tive stranger.
