GOLD HOARDS.

The American Bimetallic League made
the following estimate of the existing
stocks of gold In the world: Russia,
$50O,OO0000; France, S34O 100000; Ger
many. S2l5, O000 600; England. 1920. 600. 600 !:
Austro-Hungary. S15O.0O00 600; Spain. Meth
erlands, Italy and Turkey, S125. 600, 900; ;
United States treasury. 1902 600, 600; banks
in the United States, S190.000.000 This
forms total of S1.9500O0.0O0 Assuming
the entire stock of gold TO be $500, 900, 600,
there remains 81. $50. 00O. 900 to be accounted
for. The amount of S1.250, 000.0 900 is traced
to Asia, and it is supposed that there is
from 300,00n,000 TO $780, 600, 600 in general
circulation and consequently not under
the control of governments or banks.
Congress will have to consider the ques-
ton whether business can safely be con-
Quoted on a money basis so largely in the
hands of governments and their author
lied agents. In this estimate. which abb
serbs all the gold known to exist in the
form nj money, England is allowed but
S220,000000. Yet the whole currency of
England lie based upon this comparatively
small sum. II there should be any con-
siderable call for coin in England suspen-
sion of specie payments could only be
averted by calling in gold from all quar-
tiers. And it is this callng-in process that
produces what we cali financial crisis.

THE HOLIDAY ABROAD.

Tile tourist season Is poor one IN Paris
this year. From the United States the to-
tai exodus of the travelling public for
Europe is very large considering the eXpec-
tations entertained of falling off on &C
count of the fair at Chicago. But a GER
tain proportion either do not care for the
fair or are so well TO do that they can visit
Chicago and take their pleasure in Europe
as we'll. There are other causes now in
operation to moderate the outflow Of pleas
ure seekers. The riots in Paris exercised
a terrifying influence. They demonstrated
how the most attractive capital in Europe
could be upset socially, first by a few hun
drpd students casting derision on public
officers. and then of a roting mob composed
for the most part of the dregs of the popula-
ton. TIE war scare with Siam and the
probability of complications with England
may have added to the uneasiness OF tour
lists, but the most potent deterrent is, per-
haps. the dread Of cholera Such is now
present on limited scale in France and
Italy. The actual cases are not so numer-
Gus as to give warrant for excitement. but
the policy of suppressing facts which has
been pursued gives rise to forebodlng and
dread. The English tourists have fallen
off notably in trips to Paris. In June the
decrease com pared with the average OF
former years was 5000, and in July the de-
cline continued. This means serious loss
to hotel-keepers and tradespeople who
thrive on the stranger. Tourists from
America are likely TO be Influenced by
the same causes, and so the year must be
des polident one for the Parisians.

FRIENDLY CREDITORS.
All Are Anxious to Help the Navarro
Mill COmDanv

At meeting of the creditors of the
Navarro Mill Company yesterday a COM
mittee of SIX was appointed to meet the
officers Of the concern to-day and discuss
ways for the resumption Of work at the
mill in Mendocino County.
The call for the meeting was voluntary
on the part of the company, as it saw no
means of meeting drafts upon it, the banks
having declined TO advance more money.
1t was therefore considered best to arrest
amounted to $500, OOO The assets are
valued a. 81, 100000 and consist of the saw
mill plant, 10000 acres of redwood timber
land and 100000 feet Of lumber.
At the meeting of the creditors yesterday
it was unanimously agreed to help the
company 10 every wav possible. The
creditors all expressed themselves as being
very friendly toward the company and
anxious that work at the mill should br
resumed as speedily as possible. Many
were willing to grant an exten sion of time
from thirty to sixty days.
I'VE have not been pushed at all in this
matter" said Presiden. Byxby of the
Navarro Mill Company. after tie meeting
no assignment OF our property and no at
tachments have been levied. The whole
trouble grows out OF a depression Of our
business, which has been declining for the
past six years. When we were unable to
OBJ ain the advances we had hitherto re-
celvrd. we thought it wlsest to notify our
creditors and let them decide what is best
10 do.
Every one seems to be most anxious
for work to be resumed at the MILL Even
the employees who were thrown out of
work by the closing of the mill are anx-
ious to do all in their power to help us
out To-day received letter from them
stating that they were willing to work six
months if supplied with food. and that
they are willing to take chances Of getting
their wages at the expiration of that
time"

The Bulletin Washington correspondent
accounts for the presence of Carlisle in
President Cleveland's Cabinet on the as
sumption that Carlisle hopes to succeed
Mr.. Cleveland as President. MIR. Carlisle
did not consider himself in line as Sena-

officer. The Cleveland administration is

BILE that Mr.. Carlisle has discovered his
mistake. Mr.. Cleveland does not seem to
be the kind Of Presidsn; who makes men,

None are allowed to have any patronage

FOURTH-STREET BRIDGE.
1t May Be Used Before 1t Is Accepted
bV the CITY.

Mayor Ellert. Supervisor Day, Engineer
Manson and Superintendent OF Streets
Ackerson will pay visit to the Fourth
street bridge at 9 o'clock this morning,
when weight test will be made of the
structure.
Ever since the new bridge was COM
menced. about nine months ago. the resi-
dents Of the Potrero have been using the
Southern Pacific Railroad bridge near
Third street. On this structure there is
only room enough for a single team to
pass. In few days the railroad company
will close this bridge for repairs. AS the

and cannot be until a meeting of the Su-
pervis0rs is held SIX weeks hence, the resi-

their little burg by going the Twenty
fourth street route, which would be
great Inconvenience. There is large
amount of iravel and traffic between the
Potrero and San Francisco and the ab-
sence Of bridge communication across the
channel would work a severe hardship.
In order to Obviate this inconvenience
the Supervisors. after the making of the
test to-day, will endeavor to obtain the
ment that the public may be allowed to
the question of its acceptance.
Some of the Supervisors may protest
against the bridge later on for the reason
that the specifications say that the mate
rial should be of California manufacture.

SENATORIAL SPRINTING.
A Hot Chase After Burglars and a
Lucky Capture.

State Senator William j. Buggy gave
practical evidence of his ability as a
Splinter on Sunday night. He was enter
tanning some friends a his home. us
Guerrero street, aud about Q o'clock had
occasion to 90 upstairs t. his sons bed
room. The boy told him that a strange
man had been in the room few min utes
before and be Immediately started on a
tour of investigation. just as he reached
the servants room a man rushed out and
ran down the stairway and out of the rear
door hotly pursued by the Senator. The
race was kept up for two blocks and it
was even up which would win. But the
Senator began to lose his wind and gradu-
ally dropped behind. He pulled a police
whistle out Of his pocket and blew loudly
for assistance. A policeman quickly re-
sronded, but by this time The burglar had
disappeared from view. A Valencia
street car came along and the policeman
suggested they should board it and might
in that way 0vertake the runaway. Thew
boarded the car ard while talking abont
the affair the conductor. who overheard
them, told them he thought the man they
wanted was on the rear platform with a
friend. The Senator and the policeman
made their way quietly to the rear, and
the former at once identified his man.
He also identified his comnaniun as man
he had passed at the door while in pur-
suit of the runaway.
Both men were arrested and booked on
charge OF burglary. The one who had
been In the house gave the name of James
Barry and his occupation as teamsler.
The other gave the name of Theodore
Kane also a teamster. They both claim
that 1t Is case of mistaken identity.

WHAT CONGRESS WILL NOT Do.

The New York Sun demands of Con-
gress literal fulhllment of the policy out
lined in the Chicago platform. It places
that platform high up among the moral
and political codes that exact implicit
obedience. The Sun appears to have
adopted the principles of typical sport
ing man who considered success In his pro-
fession to depend mainly upon close OBJ
servance of the maxim "Never trouble
yourself about what happens so that it
does not happen to you" The Sun ap-
parently hopes to bring about the political
ruin of Cleveland by bringing upon the
country the consequences of the estab-
lishment of free trade. OF course, the
platform calls for a tariff for revenue.
But the San necessarily assures the ad-
ministration that there can be no protec-
ton in this kind of a tariff. Something
like uniform al valorem duty should be
levied on all imported goods. This, the
Sun admits, must include tea. coffee and
sugar. If tariff based upon this prlnci-
pie should afford any protection to home
industries it would be very slight. Mr..
William L. Wilson of West Virginia, who
is likely to be chairman of the Committee
of Ways and Means, proposes to get con-
siderable portion of the needed revenue
from an income tax. 1t is not at all likely
that any of these wild schemes will pre-
vail. Congress has to consider the next
election as we'll as the last. If an indus
trial depression is brought on by foolish
legislation il will not avail the legislator
to plead that he found the foolishness In
the platform.

THE GEARY ACT.
An Eastern paper says:

AL GdStcIE paper DAYS.
Mr.. Geary is unhappy. He arrives in Wash.
Ington breathing threatenings and slaughter
because the act of Congress passed last year,
to which all parties practically gave their
assent. has not been carried out by the present
administration.
Mr.. Geary is not the only man who
greves because the executive department
of the Government has ignored an Act of
Congress. The Chinese gistration act is
Of Importance in itself, but it is a min or
matter when compared with the executive
usurpatioD which claims the right to pass
upon the wisdom of an act to which the
three departments of Government have
given assent. The journal from which we
have quoted says that Law impossible
of execution is never in effect" The con-
Stitution of the United States conten-
plates that an act is In effect until at least
an effort has been made to enforce it.
While it is not probably practicable to
deport all the Chinese laborers now In the
country. enough might easily have been
deported to convince the rest that registra-
ton was a necessary condition TO their
ontinued residence in this country. The
value of such a lesson 10 the Chinese
would be inestimable. They would under
stand at once that any Chinese they might
smugge into the country would be subject
to arrest from the fact that they did not
have the required registration papers.
No one would have found fault with Con-
gress for giving the Chinese another
chance to register. as they had been led
into the belief that the registration act
was demonstrations by our own lawyers,
clergymen and ed TORS

A FOOLS ERRAND.

It is said that committee has gone to
Pasad ena to induce Governor Markham
to call the Legislature together to author
ize an issue of bonds to aid the Mid
winter Fair. If the committee have gnne
as it is reported they have gone on FOOLS
errand. Propositions of this nature have
to be submitted to the people. Whether
the people would indOrse proposition
to issue bonds for fair is not material.
There is no time for such an experiment.
The proposed fair may be made a success
by voluntary subscriptions if business
principles prevail in the management.
There is no occasion for blacklists or boy
colts. The man who talks of such means
of swelling the subscription list is an
enemy to the project. Matchmaking
meth DDS may work on individuals but not
on communities.

The Threat Against Hull.

John V. Mcdonnell, who had his name
prominently mentioned in connection with
the threat against the life of w. c. Hull.
the wood-engraver, made by half-intoxi-
Gated individual on Saturday, called upon
Captain Lees yesterday. He complained
somewhat bitterly of the notoriety he had
innocently received. lie was endeavoring
to lead an honest, upright life and live
down the disgrace of having served a term
for forgery. and he thought 1t was only
fair that he should not be placed in a
wrong light before his friends and the
public generally. He had no hard feelings
against Mr.. Hull and would never dream
for moment of making any threat against
him. The police now believe that it was
some enemy of McDonnelPs who threat
ened Hull, with the object of reviving the
Old charge against him and bringing him
into public notice. The man Is suspected
and will in all probability have to explain
his conduct in court soon.

A Chicago paper finds some relation be-

which the bulk of the silver produced
comes. The silver question goes out of
sight when the thirteen electoral votes the
silver producing States cast are compared
with the electoral votes OF the New Eng
land and Middle States. all Of which are
for the single gold standard. The cleo
toral vote of the silver States, says the
Chicago paper. is less than one thirty
third of the whole. While the fact stated
will be admitted, it ssems singular that
the Chicago man should have thought it
of any considerable consequence. The sill

SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE

The secretary of the Labor Council calls
public attention to the increasing number
of idle men in the State and reaches the
sensible conclusion that something should
he done TO provide them with work. This
is suggestion upon which there will be
no difference Of opinion. The question is,
What can be done? The labor conditions
in this State are peculiar. The most
prominent fact is that with a surplus of
LABOR We are importing annually tens of
millions of dollars worth of the products
Of labor of which we supply the raw ma
terial. 1t will be admitted that man
without money and without experience
cannot set up factory Of any kind with
any prospect Of success. 1t is for men
with money capital and men with labor
capital 10 devise some plan which will set
both at work on basis that will be profit
able to both.

LORD DUFFERlN HONORED.

Close upon the news of the settlement
Of the Siam difficulty Lord Dufferin, the
British Minister who conducted negOtia-
tons with France. was honored in a special
manner. The inference Is that he gained
some diplomatic advantage over the French
Minister. 1t was said while negotiations
were in progress that Lord Dufferin had
compelled France to make an exception of
English vessels in the event Of an enforce
ment Of the blockade. But this story did
not obtain much credence at the time and
was contradicted by events. Still the
English Government naturally wants the
impression to go out that England said to
France. THUS far and no further" and
that France stopped when told to. The
compliment to Lord Dufferin was therefore
timely.

WHAT A FALL!

Bourke Cochran made national reputa-
ton at the last Democratic national con-
vention by a midnight speech in opposition
to the nomination of MI. Cleveland. Mr.,
Cochran was known in New York before
that date, but his reputation was little
more than local. He is a natural orator
and exercises great influence over an audi.
ence. He did not prevent the nomin alton
Of Cleveland. but he convinced Mr.. Cleve-
land that he was man worth cultivating.
The inability OF Senator Hill to make one
Senatorial vacancy go round among all
the aspirants rendered Cochran an easy
victim to the Establishments of his chief.
