No More God Certificates,

Secretary Carlisle Saturday directed
the sub treasurcrs throughout the Uni ed
States to issue no more gold certificates
at present. In doing so he simply obcycd
the law, which provides that the Sec
rctary Of the Treasury shall suspend the
issue Of All II g"ld certificates whenever
the amount Ct gold coin and & .ld bullion
in the treasury reserved for The rcdcmp-
tiol OF United States notes falls below
500, 00G, coo.
In explaining his nc ion on this sub.
jcct, Secretary Carlisle said that while
500, 0a0, 900 gold reserve hid not yet
been reached, he was so close to it that
pru lcncc dictated that no more gold
certificates woull b, issued.

mat the stream is 700 feet wide and 81
tcct deep is 45 feet below the sur.

Anniversary Celebration.

HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 6.-Home-
stead slept very little last night at
the fact that the morning sun
would usher in the anniversary of
the battle with the Pinkertons,
coupled with rumors that an at
tempt was to be made to burn the
mill. Another demonstration was
to be made and that regiments
in Pittsburg, were under arms,
drove sleep away from many
touches, and all night the streets
were thronged, but there were stO-
ries and where turmoil and blood
shed year ago, all was quiet to-
day. The mill was in full oper-
attain, workers being largely
made up from Homestead strikers,
and this busy town is going ahead
much as though the past was some
thing to carefully avoid mention
ing. The picnic at 9th street grove,
and a few speeches this evening
flowers were scattered upon the
graves of those who fell in the bat
tie. These simple ceremonies were
all which Homestead allowed it.
self in the commemoration At the
picnic a fund was started to be
used in the erection of a monu-
ment in memory Of the work
men killed on this memorable
riot. Several hundred dollars was
raised in a short time. At the GEM
etery the ceremonies were short
but impressive, and the graves of
the dead were decorated with ap-
propriate floral designs and fresh
flowers. Many friends of the de-
ceased came from long distance
to pay this tribute.
