NET TREASURY GOLD.
The Reserve Is Gradually Nearing the
 s1OO,OOO, 900 Mark.


 WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-The cash bal ance in the treasury yesterday was S154, 727, ,Os5, of which S109, 9,560, 123 was net gold. This is loss in gold since Wednesdays report of S1,5s1, ,s97. The treasury officials offer no explanation of this decrease, but the information comes from New York that during the last three days the sub-treasury has several times been obliged to meet de- mands for gold in exchange for legal tenders, but so far as known here none of the gold withdrawn has yet been ex- ported. The present high rate of ster- ling exchange (S4 s9 makesit probable, however, that before the close of the present week considerable amounts will be withdrawn from export to France, where the demand just now is greater than in England. The treasury off cials decline to discuss the probability of extensive withdrawals, but it is be- lieved they feel apprehensive of still further losses.

INCOME TAX COST.
Estimates to Carry Out the Law Have Been
 Completed.

Completed.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-The appro- priation committee received yesterday afternoon from the treasury the esti- mates required to carry the income tax provision of the tariff bill into effect for the remainder of the present fiscal year, beginning January 1, 1895. The estimates for the collection of the tax until July 1, 1895, aggregate S245,O95, and include provisions for one statis- tican, $500; an additional head of division, $500; six clerks at $1, 400; eight clerks at Sf,200; seven clerks at S1, 900; one messenger at Si20; salaries and expenses of 303 additional deputy collectors, S2l1,sOO; salaries and expenses of ten additional revenue agents, S1s,OOO. The appropriation to provide for the collection of the tax will be incorporated in an urgency de- fciency bill, the consideration of which will be ready Monday, and will be immediately passed. The bill will probably precipitate the first general political skir- mish of the session. The eastern mem- bers irrespective of party will, as rule, oppose the appropriation and the de- bate will probably bristle with acri- mony. Although it is expected that the republicans generally will vote against the appropriation, the demo- crats express themselves as entirely satisfied it will carry.

federal government upon the use of circulating notes, lawfully issued by state banks, is an un- 1ustihnble, If not an unconstitutional interfer- ence with the authority of the several states but It's validity has been iudicially sustained. and as 1t does not appear to be practical to repeal absolutely ct this time, 1t is proposed to avoid the prohibitory effect by exempting from taxation the notes of such banking insti- tutions as may be organized and conducted under conditions which will amply protect the holders of their paper. While direct super- vision is not, and ought not to be provided for tho requirement. that bank in order to se- cure exemption from taxation must satisfy the secretary of the treasury and the comptroller or the currency that it has complied with all the conditions imposed, will enable those offi- clals to adopt such measures as may be neces- sary In each case to secure every material fact involved in the inquiry.

An opinion by the supreme court was
received for filing at the Los Angeles
Office yesterday by Deputy Clerk Ses-
non in the case OF L. ". Esger. respon-
dent, VS.. Q. II. Rhodes, appellant, af-
firming the judgment of the superior
court OF San Bernardino county. 1t
was an action to srescind contract for
the sale OF land, and plaintiff had judg
ment. The court considered tho evil
dence sufficient to justify the judgment.
The judgment of the Los Angeles
superior court is affirmed in the case OF
A. w. Royal. respondent, vs.. g. l..
Dennison ct al. appellants. 1t was
suit in ejectment to recover possession
OF house and lot in Los Angeles.
In this case A. w. Royal agreed to cell
g. l.. Dennison q house and lot on Court
street for $4,000, to be paid for by a con-
veysnce OF four lots in Dennison's sub
division of Fair Oaks Avenue Park tract
in Rancho San Pasqual. Dsnnison
shortly after went into possession Of the
house and lot. At the time &. J.. Dsnni-
son did not have title to the four lots,
but held a contract of purchase of a
larger tract of which they were a part.
He never paid it out, but October 30.
1888, conveyed all his right TO his father,
Lucius Dennison. who procured title
later. Between December, 1887. and
May, 1889, Royal obtained from q. L.
Dennison loan OF $780, to be secured on
the lots. July s. 1890, Royal rendered
u. l.. Dennieon O good and sufficient
deed for tho house and demanded of
Dennison $3250. the agreed value OF the
property less the $3.50. This he refused
and rendered deed foi the four lots ex"
ecuted by Lucius Dennison. which plain
tiff refused to accept, the grantor being
stranger to the contract bstween
plaintiff and &. L. Dennison. In
another case the conveyance by 6. l..
Dennison to his father was adjudged
fraudulent. The superior court gave
judgment for the plaintiff and the
supreme court stfrms this decieion.

tended that the complaint was deficient
