GOLD RESERVE.


n Tho Draft Upon II IL Not Checked Moro
Ponds win Re Issued.
WAsnlsoToN Dec 2l.-The prospect
Of another bond issue is beginning to
alarm the treasury officials. Unless
there is something to check the draft.
upon the reserve IL will be short time
before an issue will be made. OF the
amount Of gold recently withdrawn
from the treasury more has gone into
New York bank vaults than has gone
abroad. Less than onc-third OF that
withdrawn was exported. The sale of
the bonds increased the treasury net
gold to about Sll5, 000,0D0. To-day tho
actual reserve was less than sol ,0O0,O 900.
The loss. therefore, is more than S94,-
ODOOOO OF this sum 5000, 600 has been
exported, and the remainder has gone
into the banks. The New York banks
increased their specie holdings last
week by S6,375,OO0, The Withdrawals
from the sub-treasury in New
York are explainable by the demand
for export, and by fear OF ill-ndvised
currency LEGISLATION by congress.
There is another cause. Much Of the
gold paid to exporters is abraded to
such an extent that il is not possible
to ship it to Europe, where it is ac-
ceptcd ut its bullion value only The
exporters, therefore, draw ont much
more than they want, and then pick
ont the coins having the required
weight and export those. l'hcrest they
turn into the banks The sub-treasury
will notreceivo back the elected coins,
although they are legal tenders, and
thus they remain in the vaults of the
banks Increasing their specie holding,
dispatch from the sub-treasury at
New York to the treasury depart re-
ported that S50O,OO0 in gold was with
drawn yesterday morning. This leaves
the net gold in the treasury at So00l0,-
i34, and the cash balance, Sljl, 400, 800.

an asscmblage OF people, including
Gov Smith, Of New Hampshire, and

cast aside.
When the figures were disclosed there
was sound OF applause from the New

shows It's characteristic vigor, although
there Is benlgnant expression not
shown in the usual prints and busts Of
the great orator, He stands erect,

holds the hilt'of a sheathed sword.
Gov, Smith and staff expressed great
satisfaction with both statues.
The senate and house both took ap-
propriate action upon the reception Of
the works of art, but not In the hall
where the statues stood. There were
appropriate speeches and resolutions,
but these proceedings were conducted
by each body in its own hall Of general

the two senators from New Hampshire,
Messrs. Chandler and Gallinger, who
spoke impartially Of the subjects OF

The following dispatch in Chicago
Herald relates to former pastor Of
the Baptist church this city. DR..

Arkansas to Michigan. 1t isreported

cations.
NILES, Mich, Dec l9.-Rev. DR..
Welsher, late Of the Baptist church,
is lying at his home in very serious
condition, the result of fendish
trick played upon him Monday night,
He had stepped out Of his door, when
he was tripped by a low wire stretch
ed across his path. He struck his
head, causing conclusion of the brain
and spinal injuries. He has since
been seized with commissions. The
matter was kept quiet until tonight.
There has been trouble in his church
and this piece of devilmentis thought
to be the result of the feeling en-
gendered. On account of dissatis-
faction Welsher and his parish d.
vided some time ago and the talented
preacher has since been addressing
large audiences in a hall. As a re-
suit of the fight Welsher sued Presi-
dent Stewart of the Niles schools for
SANDER. Welsher has recently re-
ceived four letters signed "White-
caps" threatening violence If he did
not leave town. The community is
indignant at the outrage and there is
great sympathy for Welsher
