coin. which IL interpreted TO mean gold.
The only material changes made in
the present call from that issued Jan.
ii last are the omission of the upset
or minimum price which would be az
copied and the notice that proposals
for the present issue must be sealed.
1t is confidently expected Mt t1ic treas
ury department that an amount will
he realized considerably in excess of
that received on the February issue.
This expectation is based on the fact
there arc exceptionally large amounts
of money now lying idle and seeking
Investment in the money centers of
the country and upon the further fact
that the February issue is now quoted
at S11S,!6. or about per cent. above
the price which would yield 3 per cent.
From the last issue there was real
lied SaS S.GG0,o1T.63. and of this amount

S10,i2o was in gold coin and S233.39
in other money which the sub-treasur-
les were compelled to take in making
change.
While these amounts We're actually
paid into the treasury in gold or its
equivalent a very considerable amount
of gold was withdrawn from the sub
treasures for the express purpose of
using it again in paying for the bonds.
The exact amount thus withdrawn
cannot be asccrtaincd but the best
knowledge obtainable is that II APP

of Il more exact estimate of the
amounts which may be withdrawn be
tween now and the settlement of all
accounts under the call. the sub-trcas-
urlcs will from this date keep IL record
of all deposits of legal tenders made in
exchange for gold and the names of
the firms or persons making them.

The rumors that the Vanderbilt
family differences have been quietly
settled" are sufficient indication that
quiet settlement also extends to
madame's bills. The dismissal of all
causes of war will be sad blow to
the scandal loving public which has

BIG STRIKE BRE WING.
Workmen Connected with Build
ing Trades May Stop Sept l.
Contractors, Builders and Architects
Have Been Notified.
Object to Material Furnished by
Cheap Suburban Labor.

1t Is probable that one of the greatest
strikes this city has ever witnessed will
be inaugurated on Sept. /.
The Building Trades Conference ap-
peaied some time ago to the Board Of
Walking Delegates to take some steps
looking towards the abolition OF the
system adopted by a great many con-
tractors of employing materials pro-
duced by cheap or convict labor. The
Board investigated the complaint, and
last March gave notice to architects,
builders and contractors that IL the
practice Of employing the materials in
question was continued after Sept. / OF
this year. strikes would be authorized
on every building affected.
Many contractors signified their inten-
ton of complying with the Boards de-
mand. but the great majority failed
even to reply to 1t. Yesterday the Board
OF Walking Delegates again took the
subject under advisement, and unani-
mously adopted the resolution to order
strikes as indicated In the notice of last
March. This resolution will go into ef-
feet on Sept. 1.
Accordingly, on and after that date
any walking delegate is empowered to
OTutT u StTlke without any Iurtner Tor
mality on any building where the OBJ
1ectionable material IL employed.
President Bausch, Of the Building
Trades Conference, and who IL also Sec
rotary of the Board OF Walking Dele
gates. told an Evening World" reporter
this morning that the practise OF bring
Ing I'm material from rural districts
where labor Is cheap, has the inevita BILE
tendency of driving laborers away from
the metropolis.
"Workingmen who are compelled to
pay high rents here" he said, cannot
possibly hope to compete with suburban
laborers, whose living expenses are !m-
measureably cheaper. And as for com
peting with convict-labor, 1t is entirely
out OF the question. Contractors. after
all, gain but very little by employing
material turned out by such labor. while
to the New York workingmen the loss
Is great
has therefore concluded that the. only
way to check the evil, Is by declaring
Il strike against every contractor who
uses the obnoxious material on any of
his buildings"
There is strike at the new church
on Seventy-sixth street, between Third
and Lexington avenues. The stair
builders have quit work there on sc-
count OF the employment OF some cabi-
net-makers to do stair work. II Is a
standing rule that union workingmen
engaged in one class of work shall not
do the work peculiar to another class.
The stair builders allege that the cubi-
net-makers have violated this rule.

james Dunn PIucked Out n Handful
Of Hirsch salivin's Hair.

Hlrsch Salevin, a packpeddler. living
at 10 East Broadway. was complainant
in the Yorkville Police Court this morn
ing against James Dunn. OF Fifty-eighth
street and Eleventh avenue.
Salwin is the possessor of long iron
gray beard. which seems TO have ex-
cited Dunn's curiosity on last Wednes-
day. when he saw 1t for the first time.
at Eleventh avenue and Fifty-ninth
street. Dunn was drunk at the time,
ard bent on having a good time. He
playfully caught hold of Sslwin's whis-
kers. and when the later resented the
familiarity. gave II several good, stout
tugs, Dunn carried or a handful Of
hair, the roots of which Were covered
with blood. Dunn then assaulted Sal
win and beat him severely.
When arraigned, Dunn denied the
charge of assault and said he had never
touched Salwin's whiskers. He was
held for examination.
