Washington, Dec. 16.-The Treasury De-
partment was informed this afternoon that
S3,2OO,OO0 in gold had been withdrawn al
the New York sub-treasury for export to-
morrow. Most Of the gold goes to Ger
many. OF the withdrawn gold, So, 10000
was In bars. and 100000 in coin. This re-
duces the treasury gold reserve to S72-
sN,l6d. Talk of another issue of bonds has
naturally been revived by the heavy with
drawals, but at the treasury no prepara-
tions Tor that purpose are In progress As
congress has not had time TO indicate its
intention In the matter. Il is probable
that the President will not act at once in
the matter, but delay as long as In his
judgment such inaction Will not cause un-
easiness. There Is said TO be absolutely
no doubt that should the gold reserve
drop below what Is regarded as the point
Of confidence. and in the absence Of con-
gressional action. either immediate OF
prospective, the President will direct an
issue Of s5O,O00.0O0 of bonds to rehabilitats
the gold reserve.

sinewy English, up to the inevitable
climax of humorous Illustration, which
the young brigadier could now see was
necessary to relieve the grimness of his
refusal. For the first time Brant felt
the courage to address him, and re-
solved to wait until the deputatlon re-
tired. As they left the gallery he ling
cred in the anteroom for the President
TO appear. But as he did not come,
afraid Of losing his chance, he returned
to the gallery Alone In his privacy
and shadow the man he had just left
was standing by column I'm motion
less abstraction, looking over the dis
tant garden. But the kindly humorous
face was almost tragic with an intens-
ity of WEAKNESS. Every line Of those
strong, rustic features We're relaxed
under a burden which even the long,
Iank, angular figure, overgroWn and
unfinised as his own West, seemed to
be distorted in its efforts to adjust it
self, while the dark, deep-set eyes
were distracted with the vague pre-
science Of the prophet and the martyr.
Shocked at that sudden change, Brant
felt his cheek burn with shame And
he was about to break upon that wear
led mans unbending; he was about to
add his petty burden to the shoulders
of this western Atlas. He drew back
silently and descended the stairs.
