Italian nation and my personal grief
for the illustrious man France has just

friendship. Assassins have no country,
and the countries giving those. commit

repudiate them. France and Italy can
see in the assassination only an enemy

WASHINGTON. June 26.-The presi-
dent, in speaking of the financial stu
alton, said to an Associated Press rep
resentative: 9 szs-.5,.: -
''The offer Of certain of the New
York banks to replace from their vaults
the gold withdrawn from the govern
ment's treasury for shipment abroad is
certainly thoughtful and patriotic. It
not only tends to maintain the treas
ury's gold reserve in good condition,
but it adds to the stock of popular con-
fdence, which is at all times important.
The elements which make up our actual
situation do not justify any apprehen-
sion, and the administration still ad-
heres to its pledge and determination to
Protect Our National Credit
at all hazards, and to keep the quality
of our money equal to the best, so far
as the limits of executive power per-
mits.
''Of course croaking and the spread
of disquieting tales is calcul sted to in
jure the stringent financial condition.
assume, however, that there is too
much patriotism among our people and
too much familiarity with our resources
and capabilities to permit our reserved
forces and financial vigor to be discred-
/ tied. When the last government bonds
were issued to replenish our stock of
gold it was nearly as low as now, while
outside of our gold we had as available
money to pay ordinary expenses of the
government only about $40, 900, 900. We
have now besides our gold, and in
money applicable to government ex-
! penses,
More Than $50, 100000.

quarters that the payment of matured
obligations is postponed to the amount
of 50,000,O00 or $4,000, 900. This is
not true. We are paying us We go in
the usual way. Last year, up to June,
the balance against us arising from the
exports and imports of merchandise,
excluding gold and silver, was $64, 500,
O4o. The balance in our favor for the
same period this year twas $62, $500, 569,
representing a change in our favor of
$l27, 512,60S. These conditions, taken
in consideration with the Willingness of
our banks to help the treasury during
any temporary and unusual drain OF
gold, ought to satisfy the most con-
servative of our safety. sz ..- .x.zs.s.=

favorable feature in the situation that
we are no longer purchasing silver O,

STRIKE IN CALIFORNIA.
Union Men Excited Over Debs' Dis
patch in Regard to the Strike.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 19.-The strikers
at Oakland are excited tonight over a re-
port that Roberts, their local president,
has in his possession telegram from Debs
instructing him to affect a settlement
with the Southern Paci &c company, pro-
vided the company agreed TO take back
the strikers without prejudice. 1t is also
reported that Debs telegraphs that he has
come to an understanding with Pullman.
Besides this announcement there has
been little excitement in California today.
This morning the Southern Pacific dis
patched n train for Portland, the first that
has been sent out on that line since the
strike began, and tonight the railroad Of
ficials say that they have men enough and
that they are conducting their business
without hindrance. The strikers, on the
other hand, insist that the train service Is
still badly crippled. 1t is certain that
trains are running very irregularly.
Military guards still go upon all impor-
taut trains and the trouble Is by no means
over. At Oakland, relying on the militia.
the company has reduced the number of
deputy sEeriffs from 500 TO 30. A company
Of state militia, sixty men, was today or
dered from Nevada City to Port Costa,
where the strikers have caused considera-
bic trouble.
AT Sacramento many of the strikers are
returning TO work. In the shops there,
there are 42O men at work today.
Later-Rep0rts from Oakland are TO the
effect that the dispatches received from
DeOs did not state that the strike had
been declared off. but merely informed the
strikers that the strike in California could
be ended by majority vote of the unions
concerned in it
