THE BOND Syndicate
Its Position Set Forth by ].
Peirpont Morgan.
Will Continue To Do All in Its
Power To Maintain the Gold Re-
serve Although 1t Discharged
All Its Obligations to tho Govern
ment Last June.
ment Last June.

New York, Sept. 14.-J. Pierpont Nor
gan said last evening: "The obligations
of the bond syndicate to the govern
ment were discharged when the final
payment for the bonds was made on
June 30 last. Nevertheless it is the in
tention of the syndicate to continue to
do all in it's power to maintain the gold
reserve. The date October |, up to which
time the syndicate has an option on any
new issue of bonds, will not mark the
limit of efforts to keep the reserve any
more than the date of the final payment
for the bonds did. The syndicate is anX-
ious to see the finances of the govern
ment kept in good order and will exert
itself to that end. A mistake was made
in reporting the gold contributed to the
government by the banks yesterday.
The amount put in the sub-treasury was
$500, 900 and not 50, 400, 900. contri-
button of 81, 800 900 credited to the Park
bank was in reality made on Wednesday
and was included in the lump sum of
So, 900, 600 which was announced at the
time as having been received from the
syndicate -
Treasury Balance.
Washington, Sept. 14.-The treasury
general balance yesterday was 1881, ,062,-
GOO, of which 800, 56S, 900 is in gold. The
deficit so far this fiscal year is T14, ,000,
0O0 and with the revenues running at the
present figures this deficit by Jan. l next
will approximate twenty or thirty mil
lions of dollars. The amount realized
by the three bond issues made within
the past two years, exceeds by only So
OOO, 900 the total treasury balance to-day,
so without those issues there would now
be an empty treasury. With full treas
ury, of course, it follows that gold can
always be had, but with a treasury de-
pleted by expenditures exceeding the
revenues and with the tide of CONNER
cial exchange against us, gold is difficult
to retain in the treasury.
Gold Reserve Below the Limit.
The advices received at the treasury
department from New York stated that
81, 200, 900 in gold had been withdrawn
yesterday for export to-day and 5000, 900
in gold had been deposited, making the
loss for the day, 1900, 900. This re-
duces the gold reserve to SOC, 26S, 414.

DAVENPORT MYSTERY SOLVED.
The Young Minister seems tn Have
Been KILLED I'm Scotland.

WASHINGTON, August IA letter re-
ceived at police headquarters this morn
ing from the Superintendent Of Constabu-
larry at Glasgow. Scotland, apparently
clears up the mystery Of the disappear
ance Of the Rev Dana Davenport, a
young Episcopal clergyman, the son or
Rev Mr.. Davenport, OF Anacosta,
suburb OF Washington. The letter states
that on July Goth a young man was FOUND
living on the tracks OF the Calcdonian rail-
way, at a town five miles from Glasgow
He was badly injured and died on that
day. He was able TO say, however, that
he was Dana Davenport. n medical
student of Washington. l.. s. A. The body
was inferred by the CALIFORNIAN railway
official.
A description Of the deceased given In
the letter tallies with that OF the missing
Young minister. except that the clothes
wers not the ones he wore when he left
home. Young Davenports father has little
doubt that the man killed near Glasgow
was his son.
Dana Davenport was evidently dement,
ed. He was % years old. and had had
charge of an Episcopal church at Harri-
sonville. Baltimore county. Md, twelve
miles from Baltimore. He was last seen
on .July 5th. when he left his parish In
Harrisonville. and called upon friend
in Baltimore. when he left Baltimore
all trace OF him disappeared.
