BOND SYNDICATE HAS PERMITTED
ANOTHER DROP IN THE RESERVE.

WASHINGTON. Sept. GA telegram re-
ceived at the Treasury Department this
afternoon states tina 81, 500 600 in gold has
been withdrawn for export from the sub
treasury at New York. Slight gains. how
ever, were mad at Chicago and other
points, a~gsregating s1S6.0Oo, so that the true
amount of the reserve at the close of busi-

SlSl, ST., l6S. The treasury officials maintain
their usual reticence on the subject, but
there is no doubt that they were somewhat
disappointed and surprised that the syndi-
cate permitted the business day to close
without making any deposit From the first
the officials nave confidently believed that
500. GOO. 900 was the lowest point which the
syndicate would permit the reserve TO
reach, and hence its inaction at this time
is not understood. There is, however. no
alarm felt. as 1t is expected the syndicate
will come to the rescue on the first sign OF
uneasiness on the part Of the public.

CART to Mr.. Edwin ST. George Rogers TO
The effect that 1t was necessary that the
precinct committeeman should be ap-
pointed because, when they are elected,
by the voters. so many bleeders and
boc6lers get the places that they destroy
the efficiency OF the committee. The
privilege OF electing precinct commit
teemen was taken from the Democratic
voters for some reason best known to
the bosses. The reason which Mr.. Tag
CART gave to Mr.. Rogers was not the
main one. but II is one which involves

against the Democratic voters OF the
city. Even Tammany permits its men,

the Taggart bosses have less confidence
IN Democratic voters In this city than
have the Tammany bosses in their fol-

things, and this can better be done when

HISTORY.

1t is said that there are those persons
In indianapolis who go about asserting
that hard times came because gamblers
haye been driven out of the city and the
license laws have been enforced-that
when there We're 10 places to which
young men and men not so young could
go TO be robbed by gamblers. and when
the saloons were closed as required by a
Democratic law. the fountains of indus
try and employment in Indianapolis
were dried up. Those who are insulting
the average intelligence of the voter by
u stories SHOULD add that hundreds Of
families have left the city because it no
longer affords an opportunity for their
sons to lose their money in gambling
houses and because the saloons in their
vicinity are no longer Sunday resorts.
The truth about the matter is, as every
intelligent man knows. that Indianapo-
feel the bad times incident to the
Cleveland policy In March, 1898; thai fac.
tories of all kinds began to discharge
men early in May. and that by the mid
die of June hundreds of men in this city
who had full employment in June, 1892,
were idle. By the middle of July, at
least a third of the men employed in the
leading manufacturing interests were
out of employment and people having
money had become so frightened at the
prospect that they withdrew their de-
posits from the banks. Public improve
meats in the city and the coming en-
campment of the Grand Army helped out
labor somewhat here, but the productive
industries of the city. as throughout the
country, were paralyzed. And yet the
gambling dens were never more numer-
Gus and the city was never so very wide
OPEN as from July / until the Sullivan
regime went down. under an adverse
majority Of 5000 votes. No effort was
made to enforce the laws, and yet fac
tory after factory closed or reduced the
number Of employees by scores and
land free-trade policy which paralyzed.
n the free gambler and the wide-open
town were powerless to afford relief.
1t may be added that in the dreary
months which followed the defeat of the
Sullivan regime, when the papers were
filled with accounts Of the suffering of
the unemployed and the efforts of phil
anthropists and good citizens to relieve
the general distress. Indianapolis had
less of suffering and a smaller number
of people to be assisted than any city of
its population in the land. The policy
adopted by the business associations to
tide over the period Of disaster was so
wise and effective hat it was approved
all over the country as the best that had
been devised. And even now there are
many of the most intelligent people in
the city who believe that the fact that
Indianapolis was not a "wide-open" city
during that period contributed very much
to the mitigation of the suffering.

NEW PROPOSITION
MURRAY A. WERNER WILL SUBMIT
ONE TO THE CITY.
Park Board Considers Flood Damage
in Garfield Park-Falls Mostly
on Contractors.

Murray A. Werner, of Pittsburg, reached
the city. yesterday. and had a short talk
with Mayor Denny on the street-car stu
alton. After that he called on his attorneys,
and it is understood that he will nave a
new proposition drawn up To be submit
ted to the committee as soon as possible,
probably to-day, or Monday at the furthest.
The city committee is not prepared to back
from it's position that eight tickets
must be sold for Is cents, without the trans
fer privilege. and six for Is cents with trans
fer. 1t is believed by most people that this
will be the best kind of a concession to the
city on account of the money going into
the pockets of the citizens. while. on the
other hand, It is also stated that this would
not mean even so much OF a reduction in
the company's receipts as has been esti-
mated. 1t is stated that in cities where
tickets are sold the companies realize a
profit Of between 2 and 5 per cent. on ac-
count of tickets being lost or sold to nom
residents who buy more than they need and
never present them for redemption.

Question That i. interesting the su,

question That Ii interesting the SUBJ
s%istence Department Of the Army.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-Just at present
the army powers that be are much exer-
cised over the question of emergency food
rations Cor the soldier. and the chief of the
subsistence division at Washington is at
present busy compiling the reports of the
various boards that since February last
have been at work discussing the relative
merits of the different compressed and re-
duced foods that have been submitted to
them for consideration. The older nations
have for a long line past devoted much
attention. to the subject of emergency foods,
n Germany and Italy have developed this
branch of preparation for war into a SCI
ence. This country, however, has never
heretofore devoted much attention to this
subject. as Uncle Sans soldiers lave al
ways been we'll supplied with the ordinary
rations. Last February, however, the Blu
reau of Subsistence organized eight differ
ent board, composed Of army officers. to
look into the matter of emergency rations
and to report upon the best for use in this
country. Such rations are not intended to
take the place OF the ordinary %rations, but
are to be supplied in such shape that they
will last for any length of time and can
be supplied in quantity to troops starting
Out upon q campaign Wnere they are likely
to run out of rations. These foods are in
a condensed form. and are to be used to
fall back upon until the regular supply OF
rations can be secured.
Several Of the boards rave already re-
ported to Major Cushing, of the Subsistence
Department. and he Is at present busy COM
pflfng these reports. The most interesting
report so far received is from the Depart
ment OF Omaha, and is to the effect that
a company of that place has prepared a
ration weighing twenty-nine ounces, put up
In afr-tight cans, and containing eighty
cubic inches Of pdlatable and nour-
ishing food. This package Is so arranged
that the articles contained can be cooked
tin Is in two parts. the one part contain
ing seven ounces of bacon. so ster.lized as
to be absolutely free from trichina, yet not
cooked. The package also contains tablets
of coffee and condensed soup only needing
the addition Of hot water to make ii equal
to the hotel article. This can of twenty
nine DUNES will serve for a days rations,
and can be carried by the men without
hardship. In fact, five days emergency ra-
tions can be carried with ease.
NO action has as yet been taken on the
reports of the various boards. but as soon
as all are in the Secretary of War will con-
subject of having the reports from the eight
army boards to go on as a basis, and the
outcome will be an emergency ration tina
Will be used for all time In the United
States army. 1t is not at all likely that the
soldiers of the country will take kindly to
such r~atiOns, but as they are only intended
for occasions where II will be impossible to
secure the regular supplies ii is not thought
hal the kicks will be many or numerous.

ZAISER DEFEATS CLARK.
Young Wrestler Marks His First APP
peurancc with n Victory.

About fifty young men gathered in a hall
at No. III East Pearl street last night
TO witness a wrestling match between Len
Zaiser and Leroy Clark. The match was
catch-as-catch-can for a purse of $50 and
receipts. 1t was of such an excellent ma
ture as to be very interesting. TIL contest
ants are young men of this city. and both
did some very pretty work. Zaiser proved
a sensation. He is much younger than
Clark, and it was evident when he stepped
on the mat tina he had not yet acquired
his growth. He is angular and has the
frame for a powerful muscular develop
ment. 1t was his first match in public.
but Clark has appeared at a number OF
amateur exhibitions. Zaiser showed skill
and strength and in the first bout threw
Clark in FIVE minutes by some very quick
and powerful work. The second bout lasted
rwcnty-eight minutes. Zaiser finally win
ming il. AT the opening of the match
Clark showed a great deal of confidence,
which disappeared somewhat as Za!ser
gained his confidence and w the
work. Ii is the opinion OF all that Zaiser
is a cracker Jack in the lightweight class.
and with proper training and future de-
yelopment will become one OF the best
wrestlers of the middleweight class.

the absurdity of General Hardin talking
negro domination in Kentucky and the i'm
probability that sixty-three thousand col
ored voters would ever dominate 3S7. 900
white ones. tells this little story:
In the early days of the late civil war,
when the orders against individual foraging
were exceedingly strict, a private soldier
was caught standing over the carcass of a
lamb that he had slain and was about to
smuggle into CAM for the deiectation Of
himself and his comrades. He was arrested
and brought. with his plumber, into the
presence of the provost marshal.

was an order against foraging. but / do not

General Hardin has raised the negro DOM
ination issue in self-defense. He does not
intend that white men shall be run out of
Kentucky without a fight.

The funeral Of Gen. Ely S. Parker, who
died a few lays ago, was a curious mixture
of Christian .ites and Indian ceremonies.
General Parker was a full-blooded Seneca
Indian, but was educated as a white man.
and served during the war on General
Grants staff, and was an honored member
of various military organizations. AT his
funeral religious services were conducted by
an Episcopalian minister and a special mill
tary service was read by a Grand Army
chaplain. On his breast were the badges
of three military orders to which he be-
longed. Around the coffin sat six full
blooded Indians and several comrades of the
Loyal Legion and G.. A. r. Just before the
casket was closed an Indian pipe Of peace
was placed outside of it by one of the In
dams present. After 1t was closed a string
of wampum beads was laid on the outside,
and over ali was draped the American flag.
