DOWN TO THE SOS, 900 900 MARK
81 200 .OO6 of Gold Withdrawn Yester-
day tor Export--Will the Syndicate
Make Good the Deficiency:

WASHINGTON, D, c., Sept. 9-The
gold to-day was further depleted by the
loss of 81 200, 900 withdrawn for export
from the New York sub Treasury.
This leaves the reserve at the
close OF business $97, 7,710,772. The
treasury officials have received no
information of contemplated gold de-
posits by New York banks as reported,
vet they have no doubt that the syndi-
cate very soon will make good the losses
below $100,000,000 For this reason
when questioned they say they have no
apprehensions for the future. As to the
real purposes of the syndicate with re-
spect to speedy action they have no Off
cial or reliable information.
NEW YORK, Sept. Gold to the
amount of $780, 900 was withd avn
from the sub treasury to day for ship
ment to Europe to morrow. W. H..
Crossman & Bro took i$1 600, 900; Ness
lage & Fuller, 800, 900, and G. l. Irisn
& Co, 500, 900. These Withdrawals
brought the treasury's gold reserve down
to about $97, 300, 900. 1t was expected
that the Belmont Morgan syndicate
would make a large deposit of gold in
the sub treasury restoring the reserve to
800, 900, 900, but no deposit was made.
1t was reported to-day that the Chase
National Bank furnished the syndicate
with $50O,0O0 last Friday in exchange
for greenbacks, and that other banks will
do the same thing in like proportion to
their gold holdings. This course, if
adopted, would fortify the syndicate
with sufficient gold to maintain the re-
serve against almost any possible with
drawals for a month to come.
E. Oelrich, ex-director of the mint,
and cashier of the National Union Bank,
speaking of the matter to-day, said he
was strongly in favor of the banks giving
up some of their gold for the mainten
ance of the Treasury gold reserve. He
thought it would be good plan for all
OF them to turn into the Treasury at
least 25 per cent. of their gold holdings
There was no question that as soon as
the cotton and grain bills begin to come
forward gold would flow into the Treas
ury and the banks could then, if neces-
sary replenish their own holdings

Is CHINA TO BLAME 2
THE AMERICO-ANGLO COMMIS@
SION THINKS IT'S CONTEN-
TION ILL-FOUNDED.
THERE is NO GENERAL REVOLT

The Commission Reports That Even
a Few of Them Went Through the
Country without MOlestatiOn, and
are Disposed to Chide England and
America as Lacking in Prompt Acc
tiOn--The Conclusion Puts the Blame
Upon Chinese Officials.
VICTORIA, B. c., Sept. 9.--Private let
ters from Shanghai just received here
announces that the commission appoint
ed by the British and American govern
ments to investigate the Ku Cheng mas
sacre of August 1, reached Foo Chow on
August 13, Suiko, two days later and
Ku Cheng on August II, without a
shadow of molestation from the barbar-
GUS hordes alleged by Chinese officials
to have established reign of terror
throughout the Province.
The commission consisted of the British
consul, Mr.. R. W. Mansfield; the Ameri
can consul, Col. j. Courtenay Hixson;
the British vice consul, E. L. B. Allen,
from Anchorage; Lieutenant Evans, of
the United States steamship Detroit; the
Rev. W. W. Bannister, representing the
English church missionary society, and
DR.. Gregory, of the American M. Z.
church, and an escort of but one hun
dred of the viceroy's Harmed
and poorly disciplined soldiers,
a circumstance which supports but
feebly the Chinese contention that the
massacre was entirely beyond official
prevention, owing to the country being
in revolt. This defence is regarded by
all British and American residents in
Chinese territory as quite as farcical as
the commission, unsupported as it is by
any display of British or American
force, and indignation runs high at
the apathy displayed by these govern
ments in regard to the massacre. 1t is
argued that the official defense is untena-
BILE, as under the Chinese law system
of mutual responsibility prevails, all
public officials being held personally re.
sponsible for the commission of crimes
within their jurisdiction, whether they
are legitimately blameable or not, and
are visited with the penalties attached in
the event of their failing to apprehend
and punish the criminal in person.
The commission had, at last adviees,
received the statements of three wit.
nesses, DR.. Gregory of the American
mission at Foo Chow, the Rev. Ii. f.
Phillips and Miss Harman of Ku Cheng.
The latter two having been eye witnesses
of the fearful scenes of August 1.

not been fully determined to do this, it
is recommended and the sentiment in
favor of it is so great that there
is hardly doubt of its consummation.
The women's relief corps has expended in
the neighborhood of a million dollars in
charitable purposes. 1t works through
all channels while the other body, b ing
confined in its labors to the wives and
relatives of the veterans, is necessarily
limited. If the proposed plan is carried
out the work will be on a greater scale
than has been known before.

facilities to accurately report the race.
The Associated Press proceeded on the
theory that either yacht might win and
it did not proceed blindly to state that
Defender would win. 1t told the truth
as the race proceeded, and properly re-
ported the Valkyrie as leading, which
the British yacht did until nearing the
outermark.
LONDON, Sept. 9.-The Pail Mall Ga
z,tte. in it's comments this afternoon on
the international yacht race of Saturday,
says:
We fear there is no Americas cup
this year for Lord Dunraven. The bet
ter boat won, as it is likely to win every
time. The chief defect of Valkyrle, to
which we have on several occasions
alluded, is the fuss she makes gong
through the water. The conditions CT
the first match, therefore, were much
against her. With calm surface, she
NAV do better, but in stronger WINDS she
is not likely to do so well. English
vachtsmen may console themselves as
best thev can with recollections of Brl-
tannia's triumphs over Navahoe ana
Vigilant. ,
Ia other place the Pail Mall Gazette
saws that the excursion steamers follow
ed the Yachts and behaved even more
disgracefully than usual but that there
is no suggestion that they hampered one
of the boats more than the other.
s'Perhaps the most disappointing tea-
ture." adds the Pail Mall Gazette, lis
the Defenders gain on the broad reach
home, when there was no rough water. "
All the London papers dwell upon the
crowding of the course by excursion
steamers.
The Sun says:
There is no nation that We would
rather take a beating from then America,
especially as probably no other could ad-
minister it.
The Star says that the defeat of Val
kyrie is far from being disastrous one,
and that there is no need to lose hope.
The Evening News does not see much
hope that Valkyrie will win in the com
ing matches. This paper also comments
upon the enormous expense OF building
and equping the Defender, whose sue.
cess, it says, is another triumph OF the
almighty dollar.
The Globe says: THE Englishman
generally will be ready to echo the
straight forward verdict OF Lord Dun
raven representative that we were fairly
beaten

fort for English yachtsmen in the result

SOUTH CAROLINA CONVENTION.
viii try TO Provide Measures for Elimi-
mating the Negro Vote.

COLUMBIA, S. O., Sept 9.-The con-
stitutional convention meets to morrow
at noon. 1t is composed of 110 reform
Democrats, A Conservative Democrats
and six negro Republicans. The Demo
Gratis secured its calling for the purpose
of adopting a constitution which would
free the State from danger of black supre-
macy by provisions which would eliminate
the negro vote as much as possible with
out violating the 14th and Is amend
naents to the Federal constitution. Var
ious plans looking to this end have been
proposed, the most popular being such
a modification of the Mississippi
constitution as would accomplish
the results it accomplishes without
placing too much power to manip-
ulate elections in the hands of the
executive. Gov. Evans will be elected
president of the Convention without op-
position. Congressman Talbert and
Speaker of the House of Representatives
Jones were candidates for the position but
withdrew tonight in Difference to what
may be considered a precedent in this
State, that where the Governor
was member of such convention he
was elected its presiding officer. A very
short session is expected as the major
portion Of the present constitution, which
was adopted under the reconstruction
acts in 1868, is generally acceptable and
will be readopted without material
change.

The above is a good portrait of Manager ii,
6. Ebright. Ebright played his first profes-
sional ball in Hastings, this state, in 1857. The
manner In which Ebright became a profession
al player is related by him as follows: II was
a carpenter living in Aurora. ILL.,, and belonged
to an amateur team which played with a Chi
cago club Saturdays. Our catcher lived in
Chicago, but came down every Saturday and
played with US. My regular position was third
base and one Saturday the catcher failed to
catch-the train-and though | had never
played behind the bat was put in to do the
catching. There happened to be a director of
the Hastings team on tine grounds and after
the game he made me proposition to play in
the team in Dies Moines. | did not want to
play the first day so / did not make myself
known to the players at the hotel until they
were in uniform and ready to start for the
grounds and then introduced myself to them
and they made me put a uniform. l got
out to the grounds and pitcher by the name
of Brinblecomb who played Outfield in this
so i got out and he wore himself out pitching
to me. / did not know then that was sup
posed TO catch and when they called play
started for third base. The captain then told
me that was hired for a catcher. / did not
say a word but went in and caught the game
and as it was before the big nit was thought
of my hands were pretty sore. However |
caught all the games on the trip and when We
got home the second baseman was sick SO 1
played second that year: did not know when
i went out to the grounds where / was going to
play. played every p sition in the team in
GLIDING pitching" Ebright has played in the
Washington National league team and after a
successful season he drifted to the coast and
helped to form the California league. He re-
manned there until he came to Lincoln to
manage the team. He did so well last season
that the stockholders again secured his valu-
able services for this season. Ebright,
Buck" as he is Familiarity known, is not only
a ball player but a manager. He signed the
team for this season and as no new players
have been signed and the boys are playing the
ppSItIpnS they assumed at the beginning
of the season is proof positive that he knows
what he is doing.

To preach against the dance,
When street cars ne'er elude US,
When safety bikes are safe,
When folks grow fat while boarding,
When waits ne'er make us chafe,
When weather suits the farmer,
When girls are never vain,
When clerks have long vacations,
When man stops raising Cain,
When watereeases wetting,
When snow will start fire,
When hired girls quit sparkling,
When Arson will retire,
When doctors cure all patients,
When servant girls will stay,
When summer girls are homely.
When things will come our way.
When man no more desires
To taste forbidden fruit.
Then we'll find. tits rumored,
An umpire who will suit.
