TREASURY SITUATION.
EX-Secretary Foster Discusses the
Question.

TOLEDO (O), Nov. 20-Taking Sec
retary Carlisle's speech for his text,
ex-Secretary Foster to-day discussed
the treasury situation.
THE United States Treasury" said
eX Secretary Foster, lis practically
compelled to maintain the gold reserve
for the entire country. When the ext
gencies of our foreign trade demand the
shipment of the yellow metal, those de-
string TO obtain it simply present green
lacks at the sub-treasury in New York
and obtain it. The defect in our pres
elt system is that there is no method
whereby the Government can obtain
sold to maintain the reserve, except by
the sale of bonds. This is a defect. )"
continued he, (which can be easily
rcmedied. Let Congress pass a law re-
curing the payment of duties on i'm
ports, or a stated proportion of them in
gold. This would keep the reserve in
the treasury far above the hundred
million mark, and preclude the neces-
sity of bond issues for the purpose"

Possession.

OAKLAND, Nov. 20.-Sheriff White,
accompanied by Deputy Sheriff Charles
White, left Oakland at an early hour this
morning for the hills back of Haywards.
They will make thorough search of all
the farm-houses for some trace of Phil
Crowley, the escaped convict, whose
elusive movements have puzzled big
posse of officers during the past two or
three days. The Sheriff left determined
to make thorough search, but it is more
than doubtful that any trace of the tugi-
tive desperate will be located. The i'm
preston prevails that Crowley. after his
successful raid on Monday night. has
sought new hiding place, and is making
out of the country toward Mount Diablo.
Four Deputy Sheriffs spent the night in
the hills, but without success.
Crowley is fully armed. well supplied
with ammunition and desperate enough
to give battle to any of his pursueis. He
has detied the entire county, practically.
and has laughed at the efforts of White
and his men to catch him.

WILSON-GORMAN BILL.
An Oaklander Says 1t Did Great In
Jury TO California;

NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-John Ruther-
ford of Oakland, Cal, has been in the
city for a few days in the interest of his
company, which manufactures jute and
cotton goods. To a reporter he said to-
day: ut will take a good many years
before California will recover from the
business depression. In our case we
have kept our factories running at
loss in the past two years in the hope
of better times, when there will be re-
ncyal of the fair protective tariff,
which the Mckinley law gave us. We
will be encouraged to go on, if there is
only partial renewal of the protective
tariff on our lines of manufacture. The
Wilson-Gorman bill struck California
with greater severity than any other
State in the Union, owing to the tariff
on burlaps and grain being removed.
We find hope for the restoration of the
duties on jute goods and we feel that
there is a growing hope and positive
sentiment in favor of the restoration
of duties on wool. In these matters we
only wish that the interests of CalifOr-
MIA had been as Zealously defended as
were those of the Eastern States.

Feeling of Americans Up North Over
the Question.
PORTLAND orr, Nov. 20.-The fol-
lowing excerpt from a private letter re-
ceived in this city from Juneau, Alaska,
may be taken as fair criterion of the
general feeling among the Americans Of
that country over the boundary question:
The surveying parties of both coun-
tries have stopped here on their way
down. / took the opportunity OF con-
versing with members OF each. The
British, while non-committal, carried
with them an air OF assurance, which
plainly said: We have gained our
point. This country IS ours They
moved faster than our Government sur
veyors, and seemed to think because they
had gone over the ground ahead of the
Americans that by right of priority the
boundary should be changed to the line
they have run, as though this question
could be settled on the same basis as
mining location dispute.
"Our own men contend that instead of
the line being moved toward the coast, as
a matter of fact England is now occupy
ing Alaskan territory that does not be-
long to her, and that the line should go
east almost half Il mile.
''W hat has worked the people of this
country up to fighting pitch is the bare
possibility OF England ever occupying
Juneau and Douglass Island, for if their
contention is agreed to Douglass Island
and the Big Treadweu mine will go TO
them, through the Alaskan Archipelago in
this latitude stretching far to the west
ward. But depend upon ii. such will
never transpire. England will never
overrun this country with troops and ill
the channels with men-of-war to hold il.
with the men we now have, by max
ing guerrilla fight, as the Cubans are
doing, we could hold off an army for q
year without any great assistance from
the outside. We are thoroughly organ
lied and hold regular meetings, at which
plans of defense have been discussed,

redcoats coming into the country would
meet with merry reception"

GORDON AROUND CUBA.

NEW YORK, Nov 20.-The double
Gordon of Spanish men-of-war around
Cuba, the special system planned by
Admiral Berenger, Minister of the
Navy, is reported as being in full work
ing order and very efficient. The testi-
mony to this effect comes from a wholly
reliable and Independent source the
Captain of a British steamer which ar
rived here yesterday from the Spanish
main and the West Indies.
On Thursday evening last at about
10 O'Clock, while Ell route for this port
and when about thirty miles west Of
Cape Maysi. Cuba, he noticed power
full searchlight playing in shore on the
Cuban coast. Suddenly two lights ap-
peared, cleaning from the top mast
head of a vessel in the Offing, evidently
a signal to the ship in shore. Soon after
ward the searchlight from the in shor-
ship was turned seaward, but for a time
failed to reach the British steamer.
However, it was repeatedly flashed
toward her, and at last a streak Of
light fell upon the ship. After appar-
emily satisfying themselves, those in
charge of the light turned it in shore,
and the masthead lights in the offing
disappeared.
Later, as the steamer was proceeding
Cn her course, she passed q vessel dis
playing two similar white lights from
her tOpmasthead. She was then
abOut three miles north of Cape Maysi.
Some time ago Admiral Berenger said
as soon as he had enough full powered
reSn-of-War he would establish a
double Gordon around Cuba, the ships
10 steam in an inner and outer circle
around the Cuban littoral. Under this
system the British Captain before
mentioned believes that filibusterers
will meet a warm reception.
