SAN FRANcrsCo, Dec. lon account
of the inclemency OF the weather for the
last few days, work on the various
buildings at the exposition grounds has
been somewhat delayed. but the weather
has now cleared and everything will be
pushed as rapidly as possible from
this on.
Engineer Hunt, who is in charge OF
the mechanical department of the ex-
position, expresses great satisfaction at
the progress made in his deparsment.
He reports that the space is practically
Aled in that structure. One of the most
attractive exhibits to be seen in this
huilding will be that made by the Gen
eral Electric company. This exhibit
will be equal to some of the grand elec'
tic displays made at Chicago.
Word was officially received today by
Director General De Young, through
the consul of the French government
to the effect that minister of beaux arts
has given permission to all the French
artists who were represented at the
Columbian exposition to avail them
selves OF the opportunity offered in the
same connection at the coming mid
winter exposition. The permission will
result in the exposition securing col
lection of paintings which were literally
the talk at the Chicago exposition, and
will add greatly to the interest attached
TO the art display.
A meeting of the viticulturists was
held today In the state vlticultural
rooms, at which the etate viticultural
commission agreed to appropriate $4,000
to aid in making suitable display, and
q subscription started on the spot re-
suited in raeing $1,000 additional. A
special committee Of 10 was appointed
to carry the work forward in the viticul-
tural counties of the state.
Grading for the Los Angeles building
is also about finished.
The contract for the construction of
the San Josquin county building has
been let, and work on that structure
will begin Monday. In the locality OF
the San Joaquin county building will be
Canadian headquarters, the Ann Hatha-
way cottage, the Yaqui Indian camp
and the ostrich farm, location, In fact,
which promises to be one OF the busiest
of the entire exposition.
Among the concessions which have
not made much showing on the grounds
is the Esquimaux village, which will be
located south of the south drive. Pub
lie interest in this exhibit is sure to be
enhanced by the fact that Alaska bef
longs to this United States. The village
will contain about 80 persons-meh,
women, boys and girls. 4
There are now over 75 buildings Ft IN
der course of construction at the exbo-
sition grounds.

TREASURY RESERVE.
A PLAN TO INCREASE 1T TO THE
LEGAL LIMIT.

An Understanding With New York Banks.
They Are to Increase the Proportion of
Their Gold Deposits with the New York
subtreasury.
WASHINGTON, Nov IA plan has
just been perfected whereby the gold
reserve of the treasury may lie in
creased to its legal limit of 100000, 900.
This is to be accomplished by means of
an understanding with the banks of
New York whereby they are to in
crease the proportion of gold in their
deposits with the New York sub
treasury to cover the certified checks
that are presented by importers in pay
ment of customs duties. 1t is the sys-
TEN now in vogue for the banks to keep
special deposits at the subtreasury for
this use. and heretofore the gold has
not averaged more than l per cent.
The bulk of payments are made in
treasury notes. As the deficit in the
gold reserve is now only $4,000, 600 and
the associated banks of New York have
on hand fully 500. 900. 600 it is thought
that this scheme, which is a result of
the recent visit of the secretary to New
York, will be carried through.
None of the officials OF the treasury
department are willing to discuss the
reports that the gold reserve is to be
strengthened by the assistance of the
New York banks, which, it is said. will
release their gold to make payments
for customs dues. This reticence to
talking applied also to Secretary Car
Isle. who, when shown the published
statements on the subject. said he had
nothing to make public, but intimated
that if the New York bankers saw fit
to discuss the matter it was their priv
ilege to do so. Such an arrangement as
that contemplated, the officials say,
could be entered into by Mr.. Jordan,
the assistant treasurer at New York,
who would not necessarily feel it oblig-
atory on himself to communicate the
fact to the treasury department.
There are reasons for believing that
it is very probable that Mr.. Jordan has
entered into such arrangement as that
mentioned by which the gold reserve is
to be increased and kept if possible up
to higher figure than that at which it
has stood for some time past. There
was decrease III the reserve Monday
of over Sl.O00,000 as compared with
Saturday. The currency balance, how
ever, is almost 81 500, 900 higher. conse-
quently the net available balance is
greater than it was Saturday and has
again overstepped the 500, 900. 600 mark.
The movement of standard silver dol
lars for the week ended Saturday was
S601, 315 and for the corresponding
period of last year S406, $50. The ship
ments of fractional silver coin from
Nov. to the 18th was S351, 163.

GRATIFYING RESULT
PRELIMINARY TRIAL SPIN OF THE
COLUMBIA.


Under Forced Draught the Commerce De-
stroyer Made 2e.S7 Knots an Hour-The
Hun Unsurpassed In the History of the
Navies of the World.
BosToG, Nov. 15.-The new commerce
destroyer Columbia was sent on pre-
liminary trial spin over the govern
ment course from Cape Ann. Mass, to
Cape Porpoise, Me, Tuesday, with the
most gratifying results. Under forced
draught she developed speed of 22.S7
knots per hour and under natural
draughts 20.2 knots. This means that
the official trial, which occurs next
Tuesday, when the vessel will be pushed
for every. ounce or energy and every
particle OF speed that there is in her she
Will easily make 23 knots and earn a
premium for her builders, William
Cramp g. Sous of Philadelphia, of close
upon 100000 Her contract specifica-
tions call for II knots, and the builders
are entitled 10 a premium of $50, coo for
every quarter knot in excess.
The length of the course is AZ. 81 knots
and it was covered in four hours and IS
minutes, which includes 81 minutes ex-
pended inrmaking the turn at the east
ern end of the road This is the fastest
time ever made by an American ship of
war, and when the "reminiscences of
the test and the length of the course
is considered, it is unsurpassed in the
history of the navies of the world.
Some lightly fashioned torpedo boats
have skinned along faster and several
cruisers belonging to other governments
are said to have better records, but
these have uniformly been made over
short distances, IN smooth water, with
steam bottled up" in the boilers for q
brief rush.
The first half of the run was made
under natural draught and she was not
pushed to the full extent of her 81 900
horsepower, Her builders wished to
test her actions in other ways, but she
was going at the rate of a good 20 knots
when she swept over the starting line
at $3.50 a. IN. This speed was added to
and the easternmost range on Cape
Porpoise was passed at 11:52:10 a. m.
There was no need of being in
hurry to make the turn and Pilot
Chambers guided the great cruiser
around in q wide circle at least six
miles in circumference. 1t took about
20 minutes to make the turn. When
she makes it officially she will be obliged
TO do it without Stacking the speed of
her engines for a moment. Otherwise
it would afford an opportunity to
"bottle up" steam in the boilers and
thereby obtain an unfair advantage.
AS the Columbia approached the line
on the return trip an, immense volume
of smoke was belching from her smoke.
stack. 1t indicated that the forced
draught had been set in motion and
that an artificial current of air was
being sucked through the CRATES. The
ship gave a bound forward and the
number of revolutions of the engines
per minute advanced from 125 to 40.
She passed the range at 1850 p. IN. and
rushed through the water at full speed.
1t was a terrific pace that she cut out.
The tugs which accompanied her as
tenders were lost to sight in no time
and the fishing schooners were passed
by as an express train whisks by the
telegraph poles at the side of the track.
