NATIONAL FINANCES.
The President Issues II Statement in
Regard to Them.

Regard to Them.
The President has received so many COM
plants against the administration for al
legged apathy and indifference to the eff
forts of the New York bankers for the pro-
lection of the government gold balance
that he has been impelled to issue the fol-
lowing statement in regard to the national
finances:
THE offer of certain of the New York
banks to replace from their vaults gold
drawn from the government treasury for
shipment abroad is certainly thoughtful
and patriotic. 1t not only tends to maintain
the treasury's gold reserve In good condi-
ton, but II adds to the stock of popular
confidence which is at all times important.
The elements which make up our actual
situation do not justify any apprehension;
and the administ ration still adheres 20 its
pledge and determination to protect our ma
tional credit at all hazards and to keep the
quality OF our money equal to the BEST so
far as the limits of executive power permit.
"Of course, croaking and spread of
disquieting tales is calculated to injure the
strongest financial conditions. l assume,
however. that there is too much patriotism
among on. people. and too much familiarity
with our resources and capabilities to per-
NIT our reserved force and financial yigor
to be discredited. When the last govern
ment bonds were issued to replenish our
stock of gold II was nearly as low as now
while outside of our gold We had as avail
able money to pay ordinary expenses Of gov
ernment only about Sl900o.Voe. We have
now beside our gold and In money appica-
BILE to government expenses more than s53
10000.
Il understand that 1t is charged in certain
quarters that the payment of matured obli-
cations Is postponed to the amount of $50
100000 or $15.OOO.OOO This is not true. We
are paying as We go in the usual way.
Last year, up to June l, the balance
q Ua q n frOr th.a
ports Of merchandise, excluding gold and
silver. was $84,552 ,46. The balance in our
favor for the same period this year was
So. 06O. o62, representing a change in our
favor Of 1927 ,512, COS.
These conditions taken in connection
with the Willingness of our banks to help
the treasury during any temporary and un-
usual drain OF gold, ought to satisfy the
most conservative of our safety
1T must not be forgotten. as another
favorable feature in the situation, that we
are no longer purchasing silvc: and issuing
gold obligations in payment therefor"

HERALDRY OF THE PLAINS.
Some of the Social hearings of Cattle
... branding.

From McClure's Magazine.
The subject Of the brand discovers itself.
sooner or later. in one way or another. IN
most Of the affairs of cattle-country life.
The uncompanioned children of lonely and
remote ranches play at roping and branding

given her own brand; often his little girls
as well. NsiHHH 81
These brands may begin in a little bunch
Of cows or a few brood mares; but with no
demands upon the increase" they soon
grow to very respectable herds of cattle or
punches of horses

A surprising Innovation at Yale Untyer-
sity is 10 be considered at the corporation
meeting Thursday. For the past few years
there has been a growing feeling araonx
college men that the commencement exer-
cises have been tedious, and dis year the
faculty concluded to do something OF a de-
cisive nature. A committee was appointed
to report on some more interesting form OF
commencement exercises. The report of
this committee has been approved by the
faculty. but awaits the sanction of the cor
poration before becoming operative. The
plan practically abolishes commencement
exercises. Hereafter such exercises win
simply consist In the conferrent of degrees

The speaking for the DeForest prize viii

continuation to the Junior exhibition. The

BOYCOTT1NG THE PULLMANs.
Fight of the American Railway Cniou
begun.


At noon today the American Railway
Union began its fight against the Pullman
Palace Car Company. Orders for the boy
colt were issued to all local branches of the
organization. and preparations are complete
for what it is said may be the greatest
railway strike in history. Strikes yes,er-
day at Ludlow. KY. and ST Louis leave
the Pullman company with only its shops
at Wilmington, Del, to conduct repairs on
its cars.
Anticipating the threatened boycott
against Pullman cars by the American
Railway Union the general managers Of all
the roads which have terminals in Chicago
practically decided yesterday that either
all Pullman cars would go out with the
trains or the trains will remain in the de-
pots until they can go with their usual
Pullman equipment. This decision WIS
reached by the General Managers Assoc
citation. which was called together at q
special meeting for the purpose of con-
sidering the proposed boycott.
The association is the strongest organiza-
ton of railroad officials In the country
consisting of the general managers Of each
Resolutions We're adopted at yesterday 8
meeting condemning the boycott.
Many of the company's employees were
present at a meeting held in the amphi-
theater at Chicago last night to consider
the strike. The proposed boycott by the
American Railway Union was heartily in
dorsed, and speeches by President Debs and
others were enthusiastically received. The
speakers were emphatic In their condemna-
ton of the Pullman company and confident
OF success in the impending struggle.
The Pullman company last night issued a
statement regarding the strike and pro-
posed boycott. After reviewing the situa-
ton and stating that the strikers have al
ready deprived themselves of more than
S2O0.0 in wages, the document concludes
with the statement that the boycott Is
threatened because the company cannot
agree to submit to arbitration the question
as to whether or not ii shall operate its
shops at Pullman under a scale of wages
