A0RE cOJNc COMING FROM EUROPE

BEARS ARE PANIC STRICKEN.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-FOr the first
time since April 20, 1898, when the gold
reserve fell below the lOO.O00,000 mark,
the reserve has been made intact. The
gold in the treasury today, exclusive of
that held as a basis for gold certifi-
Gates. amounts to 800, 791, $40, or S79l,
go free gold. This gold has come Into
the United States from Europe, Mexico
and the West Indies. much of it being
the gold sent out from the United
States during the late spring and early
summer months. Information received
here in treasury circles indicates that
SlO.OOO,O0O in gold is now on its 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, however, is
Intact, and free gold is climbing up, the
treasury net balance is declining. the
stated amount today being ST, 7,25l 900.
OF this balance about S12, 100000 is in
national bank repositories. and the
balance in subsidiary silver. The re-
ceipts, too, for the past few days, have
been Disappointing, the business
troubles throughout the country having
nn effect RJ0n government revenues.
These troubles are receiving the closest
possible attention by treasury officials.
and everything that can be done is
being done to relieve the situation.
Secretary Carlisle, though absent
from the city, is in communication
with the treasury department by wire,
and today, after conference in New
York with eminent financiers, directed
Acting Secretary Curtis to send the fol-
lowing telegram to the $50 national
bank repositories throughout the
United States:
Your authorized balance hereby
fixed at par of security. Transfer ex-
cess when practicable to nearest sub
treasurer"
This action of the treasury depart
ment will release to the banks about
500, 900. and is intended, as far as prac-
ticable, to relieve the financial strin-
gency prevailing in the country. Ac-
cordlng to former regulations each de-
pository bank was permitted to hold
government funds to the extent of from
90TO % per cent of the United States
bonds deposited TO secure the same.
Tins action of the treasury permits
them TO hold government funds to the
par value of the government bonds on
deposit, and, it is believed. will effect
i'll slight degree, at least, an improve
ment in the financial situation.

money volume before the debt is paid,
it is the most heinous crime which the
government can commit against the
people. And that, said Gov. Waite. is
exactly what this government has been
doing since 1878. Congressional legisla-
ton and nothing else has reduced the
price of silver bullion from S1.32 per
ounce in 1873 to 10 cents in 1898, and
legislation for which the two Old
parties are equally responsible has
reduced the price of wheat in the same
time from S1.4l per buShel TO SO cents.
The same legislation las reduced the
price of cotton from 10 $40 cents TO
$40 cents in the same time. The
ratio of value of silver as bullion COM
pared with the gold dollar has been in-
creased from 16 to 1 to 2315 or 24 to l.
1t has not only diminished the value of
silver bullion, but also diminished III
almost the same proportion the value or
wheat, corn, pork, beef, cotton and the
wages of labor.
The proposal by the false friends of
silver ana their allies in all street TO
adopt the present price OF bullion silver
as compared with gold as new money
ratio would simply crystaliZe all
wrongs and injuries the money
power has inflicted upon the peo-
pie for the past twenty years.
This as compromise beats the one the
devil proposed to Jesus Christ on the
mountain. Waite said the interna-
tiOHal conference, for the purpose of
settling our money affairs by the dlcta-
ton OF the foreign money power, is the
contemplate and God -forsaken idea
that ever entered the brain Of an Amer
lean citizen. If we have become under
the rule OF the two old parties only a
province of European monarchies, then
we need another revOntlon; another
appeal to arms and TO the God of hosts.
This evoked great applause. In clos
ing, Gov. Waite said: WHO is Grover
Cleveland, and who is Benjamin Harri-
| snn,and who are their supporters in Wall
street and in Chicago that they dare
| assume to drive into poverty ana exile
half million of American freemen
There's no use crying peace when
there is no peace. Most dangerous
tyranny is that enforced under the
forms of law. Our weapons are argu-
mentS and ballots-free ballot and fair
count. If the money power shall at
tempt to sustain its ursurpatiOn of our
| rights 10y strong hands as in other
| lands. we will meet that issue il 1t is
| forced upon us, for it is better, infinitely
better, rather than that our liberties
should be destroyed by tyranny that is
depressing humanity all over the world,
that we should wade through seas OF
| blOod-yea, blood to horses' brides.
! Tremendous applause.

LIVELY TILT
Between Carl Brown, of Caliror-

Between Carl Brown, Of CaIifor-
mia, and SIinnescta's Pride.
For the consideration of the conven-
tiOn, but not as part of the platform,
the committee also reported the follow
ing, which was unanimously adopted:
The committee further recommend
that this convention Immediately APP
point a committee, composed of one
member from each state and territory,
to be selected by the representative del
egatiOns, to act in conjunction with the
American National Bi-Metallic league
Jointly, to devise Il plan and to provide
ways ana means for impressing upon
congress and the people the impending
perils from the final decentralization of
silver and the adoption of single gold
standard"
The platform was briefly explained
by Chairman Reagan, who then moved
its adoption. but there was loud pro-
test from the picturesque Carl Brown,
of California. The California delegate
objected to the second clause of the res
olutions. wherein he alleges the CON-
mittee declared gold and silver to be
the basis of all money. This met the
unanimous approval Of the Populists,
and for moment it seemed that Mr..
Browns amendment would sweep the
convention. Mir. Donnelly, of the COM
mittee Oh resolutions, obtained the floor
and said:
1.-The gentleman has made a mistake.
The resolutions only state that the con-
stitutiOn of the United States declares
gold and silver to be the basis of money.
He is offering an amendment to the con-
stitution OF the United States. Great
laughter We are great body of men,
but we cannot amend the constitution
of the United States"
al Yield" said Mr.. Brown, gracefully.
to the gentleman who compelS us to be-
lieve by the force of his genius that
Shakespeare did not write his immortal
works" [Uproarious laughter
81 would simply say" retorted Mr..
Donnelly, quickly as the audience
roared at Mr.. Browns sally, "that this
scene reminds me of the time when all
the fools in Spain laughed at Columbus
for wanting to go to discover America"
[Great laughter.
"to that man who, greater than CoIum-
bus, has discovered lost continent in
the Atlantic"
The laughter which greeted this
graceful rejoinder of the Californian
was so general that Mr.. Donnelly also
joined in the merriment over the allu-
sion to his remarkable book.
Mr.. Brown now withdrew his amend
ment, but Scott, of Kansas, demanded
that Donnelly quote the section of the
constitution that declared gold and
silver to be the only basis of money.
Great confusion ensued, many delegates
endeavoring to howl Scott down, but
that gentleman was persistent. DON
nelly quoted in justification of the in
depreciation the restrictive section of
the constitution which prohibits any
state from making anything but gold
and silver legal tender for the payment
OF debts.

EggIeston's Liabilities.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2.-On application of
Charles B. Eggleston, secretary ana
treasury of the d. Eggleston & Son
company in the superior court yester-
day, George G. Ladear was appointed
receiver for the concern. The liabili-
ties of the concern are placed at
s50O,000. which the petitioner said could
not be met, owing to the disturbed con-
dition of the market and the further
fact that number of the dealers who
have been closed out in the recent
panic, were largely indebted to the
Eggleston company.

Wright's Assignment. A

CHICAGO. Aug. "A. w. Wright, the
provision operator of the board of trade,
made an assignment in the county court
today to William w. Catlin. No par
ticulars were set out, and no reference
made to assets and liabilities. G. S.
Darrow, Wrlght's attorney. VINO filed
the deed of assignment, said that to his
knowledge the assignor had no realty
possessions. Wright was estimated to
be worth $3.50, 600 to S1.00O.000 a year
ago. This is all believed to have been
absorbed in the gigantic deal in pork
which he was manipulating when his
resources we're exhausted.

Of feeling as expressed on today's stock

The advances in prices were as ex-

BACK TO BOOKS AND DESKS.
SaVdRlah'S Public and Private
Schools to Reopen To-Day.

tendance ofthe Public sohools-More

session Of ls93-94 The teachers are all
/ back after their three months vacation,

! 10 resume their duties.
According to all inc cations there will
be a large attendance upon the schools
this year. More cards of admission
were issued last week than on any
week previous to the opening of the
schools, and there appears to be a large
number of new beginners, children who
have just reached school age being
in the majority among the
beginners, though there appear to be a
large number of children of parents who
have recently made their homes in the
city.
The attendance at the opening of the
schools last year was 1850, which was in
creased considerably by the end of the
week The attendance to-day will proba-
bly, be at least /, 800, and in all probability
1t will 90 to 5000 inside of ten days.
MANY STILL ABSENT
There are a number of children still alb.
sent from the city with their parents, who
are remaining away longer than usual this
year, and this will have some effect in
keeping down the increase for awhile
All the children will be back by the end
of the month, however.
The additional rooms of the East Broad
street school will be ready for occupancy
some time this week.
The night school will open tonight in
its rooms ON the top floor of the Whitfield
building Profs. Gillespie, O'Brien and
Falk, who We're in charge last year, will
continue in charge this year. The attend
ance on the night school is expected to
average over 100 per night.
Prof. CrOuther's school for boys, on
Macon street, and the Savannah Acad-
envy, under charge of Prof. Taliaferro. on
Bull street, will open for the year this

ANOTHER OFFICIAL our.
Barney CubbedRe Succeeds W. c. Ep-
person as Trainmaster.

Conductor Barney Cubbege has sue
ceedcd Mr.. W. c. Epperson as traiumas-
ter Of the main stem division Of the
/ Central railroad. Mir Cubbedge assumed
charge yesterday. This change was very
sudden and unexpected, and is a great
surprise TO railroad men
To none was tmore unexpected than to
Mr.. Epperson, who is now sick at his
home in Gainesville. Tenn. Mr.. Epper-
son left Savannah several weeks ago for
the world fair intending 20 be absent
about two weeks. He was taken sick
in Chicago and was unable TO return 10
his duties, but went TO his home in
Gainesville to await the result of his
lllne3s. About 10 days ago he felt SUM-
GENTLY recovered TO come TO Savannah,
but spent only two days here, suffering
relapse and being compelled 10 return
home
IL does not appear that Mr.. EppersOn
was given chance TO resign as the first
intimation to him of the change was a
telegram sent him yesterday by friend
Mr. Epperson has been one of the most
faithful of the minor officers of the road
and has made a good record during
long term of service in the employ Of the
Central. He is a son Of Superintendent
B. &. Epperson Of the Southwestern Rail
road. He was superintendent of the
Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus Rail-
road until that branch was consolidated
with the main stem division OF the Cen
tral by Superintendent Wadley, about a
year ago, when he was transferred to
savannah and made trainmaster of this
division. He has many friends in Sa-
Vannah and among the Central railroad
employees throughout the state A young
man so well up in railroading as Mr.. Ep
person, however, will have no difficulty in
securing anotherpo5ition.
Mr. Cubbedge, who now occupies the
position of trainmaster of this division, is
one of the best known ana one of the
most popular of the employees of the Cen
trail He has been a conductor on the
main line for several years and has spent
almost his entire life in the employ of the
railroad. Handsome Barney as MIR
Cubbedge is known from one end of the
Central to the oUher, is known and liked
by every patron of the road, and every
body along the line as well, from Savan-
nah to Atlanta. The ladies always look
out for Barney when they travel, and
they will regret greatly to hear that he
is no longer on the road.
Mr.. Cubbedge was a conductor on the
railroad when Major
Kline was superintendent Of that division
several years ago. He has hundreds of
friends who will be glad to hear Of his
Mr.. Cubbedge's long experience in rail
reading is sufficient guarantee of his abil-
lty TO ill his present position.

Savannahians and good many others

THE BALLOON WENT UP
But the Aeronaut and His Dog Rags
Didn't.

The advertised "grand free balloon as
cension and double parachute leaps" by
Prof. j. S. Holleman and his dog aero
naut Rags" opposite the wheelmen's
park yesterday afternoon proved to be
grand fake. A large crowd gathered to
witness the ascension. They were wofully
disappointed. Prof Holleman, with the
assistance of about twenty-five small
boy volunteers and several en-
plOyes of the Electric Railway, in
nated his balloon very nicely He then
coolly gave the word to let go and the bal
loon shot up in the air minus parachute,
aeronaut and dog
Prof. Holleman did not appear to be
greatly disappointed and the general YER
dict of the crowd was that he had no in
tention Of going up. He explained the
failure by saying that he had forgotten to
connect the parachute attachment with
the balloon.
The general opinion of the crowd was
that the free show had been advertised
merely to draw a crowd out on the rail-
way, As it was about o'clock before
the balloon was ready to ascend it may
have been that the professor was
afraid to go up at so late an hour. The
wheelmen it may be said, had nothing to
do with the show and it was not on their
grounds.
