GOLD FOR EXPORT.
New York Banks Have Not Yet Carried out
Their Agreement

Their Agreement.
New YORK. June 23.-The banks which
joined in the conference at the Union Trust
Company and agreed to furnish gold for eX-
port had up to IL O'Clock to-day returned TO
the subtrrasury only about 51.OO0,O0O of the
gold which had been supplied to shippers
during the week, and which reached very
nearly Ss.0O0.00l. Subsequently to the hour
stated several millions additional had been
transferred from the banks in proportion to
their holdings of gold to the subtreasury
vaults add it is expected that 10y Monday the
full amount shall have been paid bacS.
Seventeen banks IN all have been called on
for gold to reimburse The Treasury. and they
hold total OF over S65, 900 900 in gold. None
OF the smaller banks were asked to furnish
gold. If the demands o: shippers next week
should equa! this weeks. it is not unlikely
that the banks would call the agreement of
and again place on the Treasury Department
the onus OF supplying the exporters with
gold.
II is believed. however, that next weeks ex-
ports will be light and that the shipping
movement will not continue beyond the mid
die OF july.

GRAVES ARE DESPOILED.
An Insane Woman Covering Mounds in
Congressional Cemetery With All
Sorts of Rubbish.


Sorts of Rubbish.
lot owners in Congressional cemetery have
for some time past been annoyed at finding
the graves of their loved ones desecrated by
some unknown person. The party secretly
covered the mounds with refuse matter
found in the receptacles for the same at diff
fsrent points in the cemetery. Relatives and
friends were shocked on visiting the resting
places OF their dead to find old decayed
bouquets of flowers, broken flower pots,
leaves. sticks, etc., carefully heaped upon
the graves.
Superintendent O'Neill and bis workmen
made efforts to catch the party, but were not
successful.
\ z ptleman visiting the place not long ago
detected woman acting curiously over a
grave. and TO his astonishment found her in
the act of covering the grave OF young per-
son with rubbish. He also realized that the
woman was demented, and after a few words
with her discovered that she really believed
that she was decorating the grave
He told her of the wrong that she was do
ing and the Indignation that it would arouse
With words of advice to her he allowed her
to 20 away. The woman was described as OF
medium height, thin in build, dressed IN DARK
clothes. and appeared TO be middle aged her
face showed traces of care and sorrow. AS
she waS perfnltteu 10 get AWAY Nlthoub Ac.
name being learned, the authorities OF the
cemetery regretted this fact very much as
they would have taken steps toward prevent
ing the commission of further Dissertation by
her II was hoped, however, that her dis
covery had been the means OF frightening her
OIL.
As no complaints came after this to the
officials. there was feeling of security that
the woman had stopped visiting the cemetery:
Last Tuesday. however, she again appeared
and succeeded in despoiling another grave.
The owner of the grave site happened to visit
the spot a few hours later and was horrified
at ilnding her beloved ones grave desecrated.
Happily the flowers planted or the grave were
not disturbed. but it took n long time to re-
move the rubbish that had been placed there.
The facts were made known to the family of
the superintendent. as the latter is i'll in bed.
Later the indignant lot-owners anger was
cooled of on being informed who the sus-
pected perpetrator Of the outrage was.
4 very strict watch will be kept for the
woman, and if detected in her work she will
be arrested. II is also probable that a few
small articles reported missing from graves
may be attributed 10 her puroining.
Mr. 0'Neill and his small force of men have
done everything to catch the woman. The
cemetery Is very large and is daily visited by
many people 1t would be an easy matter,
therefore. for the woman to commit outrages
OF the kind she is guilty Cf without detection.
II she were caught il would be more by acci-
dent than by watching.

sCHOFIELD's REPORT.
The DIajor-General Commanding
Warns Us Of China's Misfortunes.

The NIajor-General Commanding
Warns Us Of China's BIisfortunes.
The annual report Of the Major-General
commanding the army-the last one, proba.
sly, that General j. M. schoaeld will be
.alled upon to write before retirement-has
lust been issued. General sehofield
has taken for his text the re-
ports made to him ty, depart
nent commanders describing the efforts
necessary to put down domestic disturb
lnces throughout the country, and par
Hcularly In Chicago. These disturbances
severely tested the efficiency OF the
army, but, while the latter responded
aobly to the test, 1t was clearly demon
ytrated that q more severe outbreak
would have been beyond the control OF
he very small organization. He pieads
earnestly for an increase OF two addltional
regiments OF cavalry to patrol the long lines
Of railroad under Government protection,
Two additional regiments OF artillery for sea-
.oast defense and the conversion Of the pres
ant twenty-five infantry regiments into
.hree-battalion organizations. He dwells
particularly upon the necessity OF en-
towering the President to SUBJ
.tantially increase the regular army
looting 4 without waiting for delaying
legislation. He warns Us also OF the posi-.
bility Of invasion by n foreign country, and
would have us take warning by China's re-
cent humiliation at the hands OF little
Japan. It Is not, says he, because the
Chinese are lacking In talent or general
education or military courage, but be-
cause they have failed to develop
heir military strength and resources:
On more than one occasion the military and
militia have been opposed by infuriated'
mobs twice as great In numbers as the most
formidable combination OF Indian warriors
that the army has ever been called upon
heretofore to meet. The success OF the
troops so TAR was due to the recent redis-
tribution, which permitted or reader con-
centration In the big cities.
General Schofleld considers that the time
has now come when the people OF the United
States should dismiss the overconfdence
born OF past experience andprovide fortinca-
tions for the extended sea coasts OF the coun-
try. where the interests of the United States
must be defended and protected II this
country Is to continue to be first class
nation. Armies, although we'll disciplined,
we'll instructed and perfectly armed, can
not defend the sea coast against
modern ships Of war. Suitable fortitcatlons
with effective high power armament are the
only possible means OF such defence. Hence
no time should be lost In prosecuting the
system of Notifications and armament here
tofore inaugurated, until all the great sea-
ports of the country are placed In satistac-
tory condition for effective defence against
any possible attack. The most liberal ap-
preparations for this purpose will be the
Wisest economy.

JAPANESE TAKE WI-JU.
Chinese Defenders Driven Across the
Yaloo River. d

A dispatch to the Central News from
Toxic says that detachment of Japanese
cavalry and infantry attacked and routed
force of 1000 Chinese at Wi-Ju, and that the
place remains In the hands OF the Japanese.
The Central News correspondent In Wi.Ju
gives further details OF the battle. He says
that the Japanese force had been greatly de-
lsyed in its advance by the badness OF the
roads. The heavy guns could be brought
forward only slowly, and the troops Were
compelled often to wait for supplfes.i
Pioneer troops had to be used repeatedly
to make roads passable. When the main
Japanese column reached Yung-Chon, g
short distance south Of Wi-Ju, there was noN-
sign Of the enemy Four days later the
Wi-Ju reported that small Chinese
force still occupied the city. The
strength OF the enemy was estimated
at about 1000. A strong body Of In
fantry and cavalry, supported by light artil-
lery, was thrown forward at once. The Chi
nese offered little resistance. They retired
before the first attacking party and eventu-
ally broke and fed across the Yaloo. The
Chinese loss was hardly more than 100 killed;
and wounded. The Japanese line Of com-
munication Is now complete throughout
Korea. -... F.. -. Is z5 z
1t is reported to the japanese officials in
Toxic that 10, 900 Chinese troops occupy the
north bank OF the Yaloo River, where they,
have completed eight batteries and are build:
