WASHINGTON, June Sat noE time
since specie payments were resumed on
January l, 1879. has the net gold in the
treasury of the United States been SO
low as today. The amount is $S9, $3.50,
217. On January 1, 1879, it was $119,-
143,539. Since that period it has gradu-
ally increased until March, 1883, when
it reached $21S, 1913. 900. which was the
high-water mark. Since then the net
gold holdings of the treasury have been
on declining scale.
While no uneasiness is felt at the
treasury department because OF the con-
tinued loss of gold from the treasury,
still Secretary Carlisle is not unmindful
of the fact that the limit may be reached
where the confidence reposed in the
treasury by the people may be shaken.
How to replete the treasury with gold
has been problem seriously considered
by the administration for some time.
The issue Of bonds is the usual remedy
suggested, but it is known that the
president is not in favor of this alterna-
tive except as last resource, and even
If they are issued the treasury ofIicials
are not by any means confident that the
treasury gold repleted In this way will
long continue. It is contended that
that simply means that the government
is borrowing gold at interest for the
purchase of silver with no assurance
that the gold so obtained will remain in
the treasury longer than the time neceH-
sary to take it out.
The suggestion has been made that the
secretary of the treasury has power to
issue green backs in exchange for gold,
thus increasing the amount OF gold and
increasing the volume OF greenbacks out
standing to the extent of the gold thus
exchanged The treasury officials said
the idea was not new one and had
-hAnn adHaneaa atsfliffarant narinaa in
books was more stringent than that re-
lating to greehbacks. The secretary o
the treasury has no discretion either tc
increase or diminish the volume of green.
backs.
The Star, in discussing the monetary
situation, says: It is understood the
question which will be discussed at q
special meeting of the cabinet, to be
held Monday, will be the condition of
the treasury. At the meeting it is be-
lieved the attorney general win render
an opinion on the question as to the
right of the administration to issue
bonds without the action of congress.
Solicitor General Aldrich drew up an
opinion on thequestion, which Attorney
General Miller adopted, deciding that
such course could be pursued, and it is
intimated Mr.. Olnev will also hold to
this judgment. 1t would seem that the
agitation of the bond-issue question is
to be resumed.

OMAHA, Neb., June 3.--This city re-
ceived dual visitation from the ele-
ments this evening. Ali day rain has
fallen intermittently, the storm blowing
from the southeast. Shortly before Z
O'Clock the wind chopped about to the
north, and in few minutes the city
was submerged by one of the most dis
astrous floods ever experienced. The
rain was accompanied by heavy cleo
trical display and high wind, and in
the midst Of the food there came fire
that entailed a loss of nearly $3.50, 600,
with the additional horror of four deaths
and many persons injured.
The dead now known are George
Coulter, B. J. Morris and Cox and Nor
risey, all fremen.
Wher the storm was at its height
flames burst from the fifth floor OF a
building occupied by the Shiverick
Furniture company on Farnum street.
In response to general alarm all the
companies OF the city fire department.
responded, but the fire was beyond con-
troll. 1t entailed losa of $200, ,000 fully
insured.
West of the Shiverick building was a
two-story structure occupied by Ed
Maurer's saloon and restaurant. On
top of this building six firemen gathered
to better fight the flames. While they
were there the west wall of the Shiver-
ick building fell outward. Two of the
fremen heard the cry of horror from the
crowd and lesped from the building
only to be buried by bricks on the side
walk. They were quickly rescued from
their perilous position. The falling walls
crushed the two-story building like an
egg shell and the four fremen on the
roof were carried down to an awful
death.

1t is impossible to search the Maurer
building further, because of the heat
and smoke, but there are thought to be

The damage from the storm is dis
tributed over the city, and while not
great in single instances, will amount
to many thousands of dollars in the
aggregate. Street car and other COM
munication is cut off, and no general
estimate can be made until daylight.

New YORK, June 3.-Iufanta Eulalia
and party went down into the busy
marts of trade today and saw the bulls
and bears on Wall street, the big build
ings on lower Broadway, the Brooklyn
bridge and the elevated railway system.
At the stock exchange big crowds
gathered. All business was suspended
and the brokers all faced the balcony
with hats off and gave three cheers for
the princess. The princess was amazed
at the performance on the floor and
after looking at the bowling mob for 10
minutes retired.
The party next ascended to Farmer
Dunn's weather bureau, where the diff
ierent instruments for gauging wind and
lain were explained to her. After
luncheon the party WAS driven to the
Brooklyn bridge.
After inspecting it and riding on epe-
cial cable train the party boarded a
special train on the elevated road and

cess journey and stay in this country.
Senior Varagua today offered reward for
the return Of the pocketbook. which
also contained a small sum of money.
The princess and party returned to the
hotel and had an hours rest before the
arrival of the Seventh regiment for dress
review. An enormous crowd was pres
ent when the princess and party ap-
peared on the reviewing stand. and cheer
after cheer broke forth. The princess
remained standing while the troops
marched and counter marched past the
stand, the officers saluted and the sa-
lutes being acknowledged by the princess
and prince and others on the stand.
Colonel Appleton put the men through
the manual of arms, the princess nod
ding her head in approval as each order
WAS obeyed.
In q few minutes after the regiment
departed there were fully thousand
people standing in front of the Savoy
and cheering for the princess. She APP
peared on the balcony and there arose
a shout from the populace that could be
heard for blocks. Few women ever re-
ceived such an ovation. Tine princess
smiled and bowed again and again and
then retired and the crowd melted away
as if by magic.
The princess remained quietly at the
hotel this evening aud will rest tomor-
row for her journey to Chicago on

Canada is contained in report just
made to the treasury department by
Special Agent J. s. Smith, stationed at

persons, namely: Charles L. Smith of

spirit, also engaged in smuggling opium
and other merchandise. The prisoners
were taken to Burlington. VT, and ar

all were remanded to jail. 1t ie be-

BERLIN, June 3.--The electoral cam.
paiRn is proceeding calmly on the whole,
but the activity of the several parties
does not abate, and all the various fac
ticns are striving in every way to secure
the election of their candidates. New
candidates are appearing daily. The
public generally manifests comparative
Indifference as to the outcome, in con-
tradistinction to the elections of 1873
and 1887. The semi-oficisl press has
been stopped in its attempts to create
war alarms. The government is quies-
cent. Ita attitude, whether inspired by
prudence or higher moral principle, is
entirely new experience here, and
is perplexing to the minds of the
bureaucrats, VINO are accustomed to get
official inspiration as to how
they should work upon electoral

prevent any remark of his that would be

theme, attacked the government for pre-

clared the ministry was ready to seize an
opportune moment to overstep the justi-

Berlin, May 27-The electoral outlook
