Situation.

Wall Street Calmly Views the Financial
Situation.
NEW YORK, April GA calmer air
pervades the Sub-treasury and its
n Ugh borhood this forenoon. The pos
tive knowledge that the government
had met all demands for gold yester-
day that there had been no discrimi-
nation between treasury notes and
grcenbaci1s. and the appart ntly firm
belief that the course had been
adopted in obedience to the wish of
President Cleveland. in pursuance of
the fixed policy Of tie government to
maintain the parity between gold and
silver, evidently Ea1 a soothing effect,
and there was a goo deal less sensa-
tiond talk around than here was yes
terday This was also, of course,
partly due TO the ia It that gold is not
as a rule drawn on Saturdays for ship
ment, although there was an exception
even to that rule to-day.
At half-past 10 o'clock it was said by
Mr. Muhleman that 500, 900 gold had
been ordered to-day. AS an oHs4t to
this, however, it was said that it was
known that 500, 900 in gold was going
to be sent into the sub-Treasury to-
some Of the gold taken yesterday
might be returned to the Treasury on
Monday, if the situation should be still
further improved. The gold taken
from the subTreasury yesterday was
paid for with II, 300, 900 of Treasury
notes and the balance in green backs.
The actual condition of the United
States Treasury could not be accurately
stated here this morning because it
was not known how much had been
paid out or received at other sub-treas-
ures
Conrad n. Jordan, the new assistant
trt asurer, was not expected at the sub
TIC aSury to-day until later in the day.
His bond has been approved, but he
was not to take charge until after the
close of business He will hold an in
formal reception this afternoon.
Estimates place the shipments OF
gold by next Tuesdays steamers at
-, 800, COO Messrs. Heidelbach. Ickel-
hcimer & Co., have ordered $3.50, OOO
gold at the sub-treasury and have paid
for 1t in greenbacks and $500, 900 in
treasury notes. Ladenburg, Thai
man & Co. will ship $500, GOO onthe day
named. This is all that has Teen posi-
lively gained thus far.

Coal in the United states.

The production of bituminous coal
In the United States is now double
that of anthracite. In 1892 there
we're 10, 900, 900 tons of bituninous
coal mined, against 100000 tons
of anthracite. The area of prod1c-
ton of soft coal is ten times greater
than the area of production of hard
coal. In the form of coke, bitumin-
Gus coal is constantly encroaching
npon the field OF anthracite produc-
ton.

serve depleted yesterday is intact to-
day, offers aggregating nearly $4,O0O,-
900 having been received and accepted
by the Secretary this morning. Secre-
tary Carlisle said he did not think, in
Justice to those who were disposed to
supply the government with gold, that
their names should be published, and
for that reason alone he did not think
it wise to state names and places from
W hich the offers came. He was feeling
quite good over the fact that offers
aggregat ted a sufficient amount to make
the gold reserve intact and leave d
little free gold in the Treasury. He
expressed the hope that it would con-
tinuc to increase 50 thai he would be
able TO meet any demand made on the
Treasury for gold for export on next
Tuesday. lie stated that the Treasury
would continue the policy now being
pursued Of paying out gold for the
Treasury coin notes, ana that at an
early hour, yesterday, when it seemed
the reserve would be encroached upon,
he directed the Sub-TreaSurer ut New
York to continue paying these notes
as heretofore. lie was. therefore. at

tainty prevailed in he public N nd as

The Grave. Little Nasturtium.

An experimental has discovered
that nasturtiums will live and -four
ish. but bloom sparingly, in a sunny
apartment, where the temperature at
night falls sometimes to or below the
freezing point. 1t has been found,
however, that those neutral tinted
nasturtiums, comparatively recent
triumph in Horticulture, not only need
more water than the ordinary nastur-
tium, but also are much more sensi-
tive to cold. One such plant was de-
stroyed in a temperature that had no
visible injurious effect upon nastur-
tiums bearing blossoms of brighter

OVER 100000 FREE GOLD IN THE
TREASURY NOW.
MORE COMING FROM NEW YORK
AND THE WEST.
The Fact That the Gold Reserve Has |
Withstood Such a Strain Is Assur-
ance That 1t Can Do 1t Again-EX-
ira Session Of Congress Being Talked
OF.

Washington, j. c., April 22.-When
the day closed the treasury department
mad to its credit slightly over 100000
i'll free gold.
1t is expected that this will be in
creased Monday as there is u dispo-
sltion shown by western bankers to help
the treasury swell its gold balance,
Several banks in New York, too, have
stated that they would turn in gold for
greenbacks
There is a better feeling, temporarily
at least, and the fact that no bad re-
suits have occurred by dipping into the
greenback gold reserve leads to the
belief that none will occur il it is found
necessary to repeat the proceedings.
1t is anticipated here that large ship
ments Of gold will be made next week.
in case Of such shipments being made
there is nothing to indicate that Secre-
tary Carlisle will not do as he did yes
terday, viz. invade the gold reserve in
order to meet all demands
What the future policy of the treas
ury may be regarding finances is still
Il matter Of conjecture for no definite
course has yet been decided on. The
department will await developments
and as emergencies arise it is believed
it will be fully able to meet them.
One result of the gold scare has been
to cause a good deal of quiet discus
sion among the statesmen left at the
capital of the necessity for an extra
session Of congress.
1t is undeniable that some of them
feel that such session is probable, and
at an earlier date even that predicted
by Vice-President Stevenson, Septem-
Der next.

AN ANIMATED PENSION.
Former Wisconsin Woman Applies fO1
Money alrl Finds Her Husband.

Chamberlain, S. D., April 22.-Seyen-
teen years ago Emanuel Beck left his
wife and family in Yankton and went
to the Black Hills. They never heard
from him again, and, rs he was reported
dead, made no effort to find him. He
was married to the wife, whom he has
since deserted, in Ligonier, WeStmOre-
land county, Pa, in 1915, and with her
removed to Wisconsin prior to the war
OF the rebellion. Here he enlisted as 4
private in Co. 3, thirty-third regiment
Wisconsin volunteer infantry, serving
three years. After the war he and his
family removed to Dakota. Many years
ago Mrs. Beck, believing herself q
widow, applied for pension. Before
doing so, however, her attorney wrote
to the pension office asking if Emanuel
Beck was on the pension roll. A mega
tive reply having been received, Mrs.
Beck at once set about procuring teSti-
, mony in support of her claim, and had,
as was supposed, established it, when
the other day she was surprised to re-
ceive notice that her claim was rejected
on the ground that her husband was
alive, his postoffice address being Mont
rose, Col. The news SO unexpectedly
obtained will result in the family being
once more united.
