During May the Gold Reserve Was De-
PIeted to the Extent of S26, 100000
WASHINGTON, June 1.-The monthly
debt statement shows a net cash bal
ance in the treasury of SLIT, s54, 335, of
which SIS, 693, 267 is in the gold re-
serve. Advices from New York show
that 81, 400, 900 in gold had been en-
gagged for shipment yesterday which
leaves the true amount of the gold re-
serve on May 81, ST., 293, 267. Advices
show that So. 25O 600 has been engaged
for shipment to-day, which leaves the
true gold reserve at the close of bust
ness at SIS, O43, 267. This is a loss ,.of
the gold reserve during the month of
nearly $40, 600, 900.

In Any Event Governor Waite Would

WASHINGTON, June 2.-If the Colo
ado people rely upon the national
government to use its military forces
against the Cripple Creek strikers
without application in due form from
the governor or legislature, they will
be sore1y disappointed. Although no
applications for federal intervention
have yet come to the war department,
they will be absolutely without result
if they do come. The reason, as ex-
planned at the war department, is that
there is no authority to be found in
the law for federal action The issues
involved are regarded as purely state
and not national in their present as
pect-
The opinion prevails in the war de-
partment that, if Governor Waite
violates the law, he can and will be
restrained by the state judiciary, and
they are looking for some such ter
mination of the present difficulties.
This may be done by a restraining
ord er, and has been intimated in
private advices from Colorado, re-
ceived here by very high officials, by
proceeding in the court that if sue
cessful. would result in the lieuten-
ant governor succeeding to the chief
office in the state.

&C. L. Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass:
Gentlemen: It gives me pleasure to certify
to the efficacy of Hoods Sarsaparilla in the
of my father, who has suffered for years with
Heart Disease and Catarrh
in the head. The former grew every
day, and especially at night time. When he
would lie down curious feeling would rise
around his heart and his pulse would stop beat
ing for seconds. He could breathe well, but all
the air he could inhale did not seem TO relieve
him. He would have to get up out of bed and
stir round until it wore of. We became alarmed,
and our friends said he would not live year.
The family physician prescribed several reme-
dies but all to avail Finally physician adj
vised him to take Hoods Sarsaparilla. He did
so, and before he had taken one bottle realized
that it was helping him. He has taken over
four bottles now, and is not bothered any more
with heart spells. He can sleep sound as
baby. He does not have any more trouble
with the catarrh, and
