THE OUTFLOW OF GOLD.

To-day for Abroad

Ao-Qay IOE ADTOau.
WASHINGTON. Nov 22.-The news
that approximately SIS, 0Oo,OO in gold
would bs shipped abroad tomorrow
created something of stir among
Treasury officials, although hexvy with.
drsvals had been expected. The near
approach OF the reassembling of Con-
gress seemed materially to lessen the
alarm which otherwise would have been
felt
There is little expectation amony
Treasury officials that the coming Con-
gross will enact any financial legiela-
tion in conformity with Mr.. Clevelsnd's
views or those OF Mr.. Carlisle, especi-
ally So to the retirement Of the green
backs, but 1t Ia expected that Congo ess,
by SONS means, will afford at least
temporary relief.
At the Treasury Department no prep
arssions are making for another bond
issue and it can be srated ON authority
that none is at present in contempla-
tlon. The true amount OF the gold
reserve at noon to day was $50, 300, ISL.

that thorough canvass was msTW
the Democratic situation with a view
deciding upon line OF policy in t
next session. The question OF tn
organization of the Senate was dis.
cussed at length. The committee did
not reach final conclusion on this,mat-
ter, but when it adjourned there was a
general understanding that unless
future events should make change de-
slraole the committee will recommend
70 the Democrats in the Senate to make
no move whatever until the Rapubli-
cans and Popalists shall develope their
plans.
1t appeared from the discussion that
the Democratic Senators are divided "a
to the policy to pursue, some advo-
eating an active effort to retain Demo-
cratic control OF the Senate, while
others advise surrender to the Re-
publicans without struggle, Tho
steering committee finally concluded
that IL would be wise to wait until a.
was made plain whether the Repub-
ilcans would be unit in their desire
to take control, and whether the Pbpu-
lists would hold together or some of
them would agree to assist the Re-
publicans.
This the committee felt the Demo.
Gratis could afford to do in view OF the
TACT that the Senate is continuing

until supplanted by another ut the will
OF the Senate. In case Of the absence
OF the Vice President it would become

managers that Vice President Steven.

Some of the Democratic Senators con-
slider 1t very doubtful whether the Re-
publicans can get together on plan of
organization.
There are indications that the conn
mittee also considered the general oues-
tion of party policy with reference TO

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 9.-United
States Senator John p Jones is
strongly of the opinion that there will
be a separate silver party in the cam
paign next year. The formation OF
such a party is to grow out of the
coming silver conference at Chicago,
he thinks.
The Chicago conference is to take
place some time near the Christmas
holidays, in the hope that it may have
some effect on Congress, A call is
now being prepared by the executive
committee. which grew out of the
Memphis conference of last summer.
This COMMITTEES consists of Congress-
man J. H. Acklen, of Tennessee; NJ.
w. Rusk, of Colorado. and Joseph Bat
allat, of Vermont, and the American
Bimetallic league. of which General A.
]. Warner is chairman, with head
quarters at Washington. and the Ma
tional Bimetallic union. of Salt Lake,
r. c. Chambers. chairman. are work
ing in conjunction with it, says Sec
rotary George P. Keeney. of the local
branch of the American league.
Mr.. Keeney has had frequent con-
ferences with Senator Jones since he
has been here. and he stated that Mr..
Jones. since the result of the elections
in the east has become known. is par
ticularly anxious for the conference to
be held. According to Mr.. Keeney,
Senator Jones expressed himself as fol-
lows on the outcome of the elections:
L think that the elections Just held
have demonstrated beyond the posi-
bility of any doubt whatever that the
issue in the campaign Of 1896 will be
fatty between the champions of gold
and silver; that finance. and not tariff,
is to be the only question, and that it
can no longer be settled within party
lines.
The gold and silver men knitted
each other in these elections regardless
of party. 1t is an object lesson to
silver men all over the nation. If the
battle between the metals be not
forced now on a straight issue and
along unmfstakable lines, the gold
brokers of London and New York will
dominate the government of the coun-
try for the next four years also, which
ever of the two parties wins
The best thing for the silver men
to do is to get together at Chicago and
outline plan Of organization for a
completely separate and independent
party The people have been pretty
we'll educated and they know quite well
what free and unlimited coinage Of
silver means to their business inter
eSts. In my opinion distinctiveIv
silver party could win

erous, second in command under Cam
pos, as governor of Havana, informed
me today that the policy of Campos is
to inaugurate the reforms enacted by
the Spanish cortes last March
General Arderous added that Campos
had no intention of going further and
the provinces in rebellion against the
government cannot expect concessions
until they ceased resistance.
The reform granted by the ccrtes
but not yet put in force, establish a
local government like that of the
English crown colonies, with a coun-
ell of thirty members, one-half elected
here, the other half appointed by the
Spanish government, from certain
specified classes of people resident in
Cuba, with power over education, pub
lie Improvements, ports and to make
up an annual budget of expenditure,
the governor general to have tenn
porary veto power until matters in
dispute can be referred to the home
government.
Cubans generally are inclined to
think it is too late for these conces-
sions to be favorably received, but
some of the most intelligent say large
defections from the insurgent ranks
would follow a declaration OF liberal
reforms.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9-The World to-
morrow will say: When Dr. Orlando
E. Bradford, the counterfeiter and
leader Of the Old Bill Brockway gang,
gets out Of the Kings county peniten-
tiary, he will be comparatively a rich
man. Before he put on prison garb
yesterday he turned over to Warden
Hayes diamonds, cash and securities
to the amount of $4,000 and deeds to
seven pieces of Harlem property to
hold until his release. Detectives en-
ployed on the case had been puzzled to
find out where DR.. Bradford's money
was put away. He had no bank ac-
count that they could discover and
the amount Of cash he had in prison
did not appear to exceed 5000.
The mystery was explained when
Bradford was taken to the Kings
county penitentiary in Brooklyn on
Friday evening. He handed the war;
den a formidable pasteboard envelope
securely sealed and asked him to take
care of it until he was released. Care
fully wrapped in cotton were eleven
beautiful unset diamonds. In addition
there were title deeds and mortgages
on property in this city, mostly in
Harlem. There were also other small
jewels and cash. Exclusive of the
real estate, the property was estimated
as worth $4,000 and it was easily
negotiable

KEAENS MEN RATIFIED.
Entire State Ticket Than Have
Had Him Defeated-Other Notes.

| kAlAiAS, Nov. 9.-Joseph Lewis, one
of our most respected townsmen, PASS
ed quietly away this morning He was
taken with rheumatism eleven years
! ago last June, and has been confined
to the house for over ten years His
joints were all out of place. some of
the fingers lying on the back of his
hand; in fact. his condition was very
deplorable. He suffered a thousand,
yes. ten thousand deaths. We all SYM
pathize with the family for their loss,
yet all feel that Joseph is far better
off, and none would wish him back to
continue to suffer as he has done for
SO long a time.
Excitement prevails all over the
neighborhood as to the results of the
election. Republicans feel jubilant and
confident that they have gained a. COM
plete victory, and will carry the entire
territory for all the important offices,
while Democrats feel hopeful, and trust
that they still live and will have a
word or two to say in the matter.
The Kearns men are very indignant
over their defeat, as to that man. Some
claim they would have sooner lost all
the balance of the ticket than to have
lost him.
Democrats say, IF you down us. we
will still fight for our principles, fully
believing that the under dog will come
out on top after awhile" Never say
die" is the motto Of all true Demo-
Gratis.
The stormy weather made it quite
disagreeable on election day, but for
all that the number of votes polled
only fell short of the entire registry
list and three of those were out of the
county and could not possibly have
~, 10 nc-f l1ni,- -ntn
This shows that the voters of this lit
tie town were awake to their interests.
From the returns, so far, it seems
the good old Democratic principles
must be trodden under foot by the
cloven hoofs of the party of trusts,
bounties monopolies and special privi-
leges to the favored few.

STARTLING EVIDENCE.
Claim Made By the Crown in the
Hyams Brothers Case.

TORONTO, Ont, Nov. 9.-Startling
new evidence which the crown claims
will convict the Hyams brothers of the
murder of Wells. was produced at the
trial this afternoon, when five people
swore to seeing a wound on Wells
forehead that could not have been
made by the elevator, but must have
been inflicted in the cellar by some in
strument. q. H. Jones, an uncle of
the dead boy, told how negotiations
had been entered upon whereby Wells
was to purchase a farm from him. An
agreement signed January 16, 1893, the
day of the death, was put in evidence.
1t shows the sum of 81 900 was to be
paid down that morning. The witness
testimony was intended to show a mo-
tive for the crime.
James Lavelle, the cab driver who
drove one of the Hyams from the ware
house to the latter's home on the morn
ing after the accident. swore he no.
ticed spots of dark red which looked
like paint on his trousers, just below
the knee.
Eliza Pengelly a servant at the Hy-
ans, told that Harry Hyams asked her
to wash pair of drab trousers on
which she thought were blood stains.

GONE TO PIECES.
Little Democratic Harmony Now I'm
Alabama

CHICAGO, Nov. "a special to the
Tribune from Birmingham, Ala, says:
Democratic harmony in Alabama.
went into pieces when Governor Oates
announced his willingness to lead
again sound money Democrats in the
state campaign and Senators Morgan
and Pugh. Congressman Blankhead
and several other silver Democrats as
the result of the conference held here
yesterday decided to make hot Sill
Yer campaign inside the party.
The conference adopted Senator
MOrgan'S suggestion that each county
Democratic authority fix the quaiifica-
ton of voters in primaries to a dec
laration to support the nominee. The
state committee, therefore. has denied
admission to primaries of all who
failed to support the nominee in the
previous election. The Morgan plan
lets in Populists who will help nomi-
nate a silver Democrat for governor.
Congressman Underwood and his fol-
lowers were for party harmony and
temporary RELOCATION of silver to the
rear but were OutvOted. Senators
Morgan and Pugh will stump the state
for silver beginning at Tuscaloosa to-
day. 1t is practically conceded they
will support Joseph F. Johnson, of
Birmingham. who was defeated by
Oates in 1894.
