In order either to lessen the award or at
| best to build its road in conformity Herewith
and thus save a greater outlay OF money, the
| Connecting Railway Co. resolved to procure
| the Vacation Of Railroad avenue at this point,
| and the lowering of the grade Of Wayne
| street. T~oaccomplish this result, application
was first made to the Legislature of 1893, for
| the passage of a supplement to the act Of
1874, above recited, charging the powers of
the municipality in this regard. The powers
| granted by these acts to your Board are very
| broad. In order to promote the interests OF the
| city your Board was invested with power to
! open, vacate, alter the lines and change the
| grade of any streets or highways or any part
| thereof within the city, and to do all such
| acts as may be necessary and proper to
| efectually carry out such contracts, etc.
/ These, as / have said, are very sweeping
powers, and the Legislature in granting them
| reposed great confidence in the judgment,
integrity and public spirit of your Board.
Nine days after the passage of this supple
/ ment, a written petition for these changes
was executed by the company. as appears
from their filed application now before me.
1t was not made public by presentation in
| open meeting, but 1t was discussed informally
BY the members OF your Board before such
presentation on May 30, 1898. After weeks
of secret discussion the petition was pre-
sented in open meeting and referred to a
committee. In fifteen minutes thereafter, and
without taking a recess, the committee re-
ported the series of resolutions now under
consideration and they were adopted by the
unanimous vote of the Board. No public
notice was given. No public hearing was
granted. No one appeared openly before

STREAM OF GOLD.
1t Comes Toward Our Shores and Tum.
bles Into the Treasury Very
Soon.
The Treasury Is Doing All II Can to
Relieve Financial Pressure
Everywhere.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-For the first
time since April 20 last, when the gold
reserve fell below the 500, 100000 mark,
the reserve has been made intact. The
gold in the treasury today amounts to
500, I91,310, or S19l.310 free gold. This
gold came from Europe, Mexico, and the
West Indies, much Of it being gold sent
out from the United States during the
late spring and early summer months.
Information in treasury circles indicates
that %S10,0OO,OOO in gold is now on the
way from Europe to the United States,
and most Of this, it is expected, will find
its way, as usual, into the treasury.
While the gold reserve is intact and
the free gold increasing at the treasury
the net balance is declining, the stated
amount today being Sl7,25l,000. Re-
ceipts for the last few days have been
disappointing. business troubles through
out the country having an effect upon
government revenues. Everything that
can be done is being done to relieve the
stringency.
Secretary Carlisle today, after a con-
ference in New York with eminent. tinan-
ciers, directed Acting Secretary Curtis
to send the following telegram to 80
national bank repositories throughout
the country: "lour authorized balance
is hereby fixed at par of security. Trans
fer excess whenever practicable to the
nearest subtreasury." This action of
the treasury will release to the banks
about 100000 and is intended as far as
practicable to relieve the financial
stringency prevailing in the country.
The circulation statement issued by
the treasury department shows that the
amount of gold and silver certificates,
United States notes, and national bank
notes in circulation Aug. l was 5l,Gll.-
O99,l11, an increase during the month of
July of 81 ,231 SOC. The increase during
the last twelve months was, in round
figures, SJ,000.000.

LONDON, Aug. "A meeting was held
today at the official residence of the lord
mayor to consider the financial and bust
ness situation. 1t was presided over by
the lord mayor. The meeting was very
largely attended. Among those present
were a. j. Balfour, Henry Chaplin, for
merly president Of the board of agri-
culture; Sir John Lubbock of the firm
OF Roberts, Lubbock ~ Co, bankers;
L. f. Bayard. American ambassador to
Great Britain: Dana Horton, and most
of the leading bankers in London. Bal
four made an address. He disclaimed
any political motives, and alluded to the
anxiety felt throughout the business
world connected with the currency
changes in India and the action that
might be taken by the United States. a
gold standard, Balfour declared, would
never satisfy commercial wants, while a
double standard alone can prevent dan
gerous oscillations in trade. He con
demned the isolated action on the part
OF individual states, recommended an in
ternatlonal agreement fixing the ratio of
value between between gold and silver.
In the course of his address Balfour de-
MED that the advocates of bi.metallism
aimed at the initiation of the currency.
This might be true, he said, of some bi.
metallists connected with the western
states of America, but did not apply to
bi-metallists in Europe, who believe the
adoption of bi-metallism would prove
the safest commercial policy. In the
event of a European war a double stand
ard would, according to Balfour. be
found very advantageous. The meeting
adopted a vote of thanks to Balfour for
his address.

'SAGES GATHERING.
Our Wise Men Are Getting Together
at Washington For the
Extra Session.
Springer Seems Over Sanguine on the
Repeal Of the Sherman
Silver Law.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.--Representativ,
Springer of Illinois, chairman of the way,
and means committee Of the last con
gress, was at the capital today. In brie
his opinion is that congress will not b,
in session for more than a week or ter
days in August. In that time, the hope
full MIR. Springer thought, the silver
purchase clause of the Sherman act
would be repealed and the ways and
means committee empowered to draft q
tariff bill for submission to congress
when it ~reconvened, which should be
some time in October.
AS to the tariff, it would be impossi-
BILE for the ways and means committee
to do justice to the subject while the
house is in constant session; there were
too many disturbing elements and sur
roundings not favorable for wise and
safe legislation; but if the committee
was empowered to prepare a bill and al
lowed to go to some quiet place on the
sea shore or elsewhere and pursue their
labors unmolested the result would be
satisfactory. Touching the course of
the ways and means committee in deal
ing with the tariff, Springer SAID it
would doubtless report one general tariff
bill instead of a series of specific bills.
THE time is now at hand when the
democratic party must redeem it's pledges
and reform the entire tariff system.
"lf the president parts company with
the Chicago platform. | believe his
party will part company with him.
were the significant words uttered by
Representative Oates this afternoon.
"The Chicago platform called for the re-
peal of the Sherman law and the main
tenance of gold and silver as money up
on a parity, and any scheme which con
templates the abandonment of the use
of silver is ~antagonistic to that declara-
ton of principles and will not be sup
ported by congress. There can, in my
opinion, be NJ unconditional repeal Of
the Sherman law. If the president has
set out to repeal the Sherman act with.
out Offering anything in its place, he
has set up a platform not in accordance
with the one upon which he went be-
fore the people" Oates looks for the re-
peal of the Sherman law with a condi-
ton that will provide for the free coin
age of silver at an increased ratio.
Senator Squire of Washington takes
the ground that the president should
be allowed to deal with the silver ques-
ton in his own discretion, and he be.
lieved it would be good policy for con
gress to pass IA joint resolution permit
ing the president to suspend the opera
ton of the silver purchase section of the
Sherman law in his discretion.
Bland arrived today. He said the
of silver had agreed upon no plan
Of campaign other than that they were
opposed to the repeal of the Sherman
.aw unless given free coinage of silver.

Terrible Decline in the Value of Indian
Securities Held in England.

Terrible Decline in the Value of Indian
Securities Held in England.
LONDON, Aug. An the commons to-
day Sir Ellis Ashmead- Bartlett. conser-
v~ative, asked the government whether
since the ~stoppage Of the free minting of
silver in India there has been, as stated,
a depreciation in value of securities held
in England to the amount of fl30,0OO,-
900; whether the supply Of gold was not
insufficient for the monetary require
ments Of trade, and what measures the
government proposed to take to avert a
financial crisis. Prime Minister Glad
stone replied that he did not know how
to ascertain the truth Of the assertion
that a decline to the amount referred to
had taken place in the value of securi-
ties held in England. He did not be-
lieve the supply Of gold insufficient for
trade requirements and could not an
nounce measures to avert a crisis that
he did not believe would occur.
