Interesting Addresses on Topics of In
terest to the schools.
CHICAGO, July 2S.-In the Educational
Congress to-day the most interest was at
tached to the department on higher edu-
cation. President Low of Colum bian
College, Professor West of Princeton and
others were heard. The line of debate as
to the compulsory study of the dead Ian
guages in liberal education was sharply
drawn between President Jordan of
Leland Stanford Jr. University of Cali
fornia and Professor Hale of Chicago
University, the distinguished educator
from the Pacific Coast expressing the
opinion that modern literature contained
ample food for the highest culture.
The degradation of the degrees of "Doc-
tor of Philosophy" and doctor of Sci
ence' by the indiscriminate comforting
of such by institutions of low standard
was strongly condemned. Resolutions
were passed on the subject, and Presi-
dents Gilman, Harper, Dwight, Angel,
Patton aud Low were appointed a com
mittee to devise ways and means to cor
rect the evil.
Bishop Keane of the Catholic Univer-
sity of America addressed the congress
in a scholarly review OF the relation of
our colleges and universities to advance
ment of civilization.
The National Educational Association
closed its international session tonight
with a largely attended meeting. Eng
land. France, Russia, Germany, Chile,
Sweden and Uruguay were represented
in the programme. The speeches were
many and interesting. Professor Dimska

the course of his address, held that legal
education was of special value for citi-
zens of the United States.

In connection with the call letter was
made public from Private Secretary
Thurber, saying that, in response to an
invitation to address the coming confer
ence, President Cleveland regrets his en-
gagement with reference to matters OF
State are such that he cannot accept.

special 10 the RECORD-UNION.
WASHINGTON, July 28.-The large or
ders given by New York financial houses
for gold abroad to be imported are re-
garded at the Treasury Department as a
favorable symptom of returning conf
dence. Much of the gold now com
ing here is the same exported several
months ago. The heavy shipments of
American cereals abroad within the past
two months have materially reduced the
balance of trade against us.
In such circumstances it would be nat
ural for the United States to continue to
receive gold from abroad. Gold in con-
siderable quantities is also coming here
from the West Indies. This Spanish
gold, on reaching our shores, finds its
way to the assay offices and is melted
into bars, and this and European gold
soon find lodgment in the United States
Treasury.
From present indications the gold in
the Treasury, therefore, will soon pass
the 500, 100000 limit. 1t is to-day S97,-
660,000. When the S10O, 900 mark is
passed the Treasury will again resume
the issuance of gold certificates, which
by law had to be suspended when the
Treasury gold was reduced below $780,
10000
The gold certificates now outstanding
aggregate SS9, 200, 900. This is an unusu-
ally small quantity for the Treasury to
have. The department, however, shows
little or no interest whether the gold is
Sl00,000,0O0 or $4,000, 600, as it is the pol
icy of Secretary Carlisle to use the gold
coin on hand the same as he does cur
rency in meeting the obligations of the
Treasury.
So for several months past the gold re-
serve has been treated as available cash.
On this basis the available cash in the
Treasury to-day is Sl22, 100000.
Comptroller Eckels gave out to-day a
statement intended to correct an erro-
neous impression conveyed by certain
publications as to the number of national

Comptroller. Fourteen Of these have al
ready resumed under favorable condi-
tions, and it is expected that several
others will resume prior to September
lst. Out of a total of los closed, thirty
seven only went into the hands of receiv-
ers, the others having either reopened or
having strong prospects of doing so. OF
the failures, the New England States had
two, the Eastern States two, Middle and
Mississippi States fifteen. Northwestern
States six, Western States fitty-tive,
