THE GOLD PRODUCTION.
AN Increased Activity In the United
States and q Depression In silver.

Reports received at the mint bureau Of
the treasury indicate an increased activity
In the production of gold In the United
States and q decline In the production OF
silver a state of affairs attributed by a
prominent financial authority to the de-
probation Of the latter metal In the mar
kets Of the world. Mr.. Preston, director
of the mint. q most careful. conservative
official, says that the output Of gold in
this country for the calendar year 1894 will
approximate $4,000, 900, an Increase OF
"a. 0OO,O 900 compared with last years pro-
auction. This estimate Is based on reliable
returns from the gold producing states
and Is believed to be under rather than
Tower the actual production. The principal
igold-producing states are California. Col
Dorado, Idaho and Montana. Their output
iof the precious metal for this year Is esti-
mated as follows: California, Sl3, $50, 900;
colorado. 81, 900; Montana, A.575.0OO.
land Idaho, s. 100000. making total of
ISL. 93O. 900. or nearly three-fourths Of the

fompiicat@ the problem very greatly, and
Senator MCMILLAN urged that the bill be
xdnsidsred now, before the Metropolitan
company shall have completed its b street
lmprovefpAnt The plan contained In his
Bill was that the Mt. Pleasant cars should
leave the avenue at 14th street and should
10 directly north from that point instead OF
Continuing on the Georgetown tracks to
New York avenue, thus involving an awk-
Ward double curve. This would relieve lotn
Street Of half the cars now traversing 1t,
And would also relieve New York avenue,
which will undoubtedly be very dangerous
with four cable tracks In fun operation.
ThA Engineer Commissioner, however,
when the bill was referred to the District
Officers last winter, recommended q change
Ia the plan whereby all north-bound cars
would run up 14th street and all south
bound cars down 18th. This would still in
Toiye the use Of New York avenue by the
Washington and Georgetown system, and
Senator Mcmillan Ii not disposed to con-
Ader this an adequate solution of the prob
lem, Should the original bill be insisted
upon. the Metropolitan rapid transit tracks
will probably be made to coincide with the
14th street cable line between and H
btreets, leaving 10Th street clear for the
avenue cara alone and New York avenue
I free for the Columbia line.

LONDON, Aug. In the house of

the closure of the debate on the evicted
tenants bill and to apply the guillotine
to certain sections i'm order that the
business of the session might be finished
by Aug. 9. Mr.. Balfour protested
against what he classed as s*unprece

amendment that the house regretted
the adoption of methods which deprived
the minority of it's just rights. The
amendment was rejected-217 to 174.
The motion for closure was then adopted
without division. Messrs. Chamberlain,
Balfour, Saunderson, and others left the
house, thus giving warming that they
would not take part in a division on Sir
William Harcourt's motion for closure.
Much surprise was caused when the
motion was agreed to without division.
