ANOTHER ISSUE OF BONDS
LIKELY TO BE NEEDED TO MAINTAIN
THE GOLD RESERVE.
Mondays Withdrawals the Largest
Since February-Nothing hut Heavy
Grain Shipments Can Keep Gold
in America.

Washington. Aug. 12-The drain upon
the gold reserve of the treasury seemed
TO nave begun in earnest to-day when the
officials were advised of the withdrawal of
$,65000 from the sub-treasury at New
York for exports. This condition of affairs
has occasioned much speculation as to the
means that the administration will employ
to maintain the gold reserve or replcnish
it should the probable withdrawals reduce
1t below the amount it is deemed neces-
sary for the government to hold. 1t may
be stated almost authorttatively that as
between another issue Of bonds and the
calling OF an extra session of Congress.
the former will be resorted TO.
To-day's Withdrawals were the largest
on any one day since the contract with
the Belmont Morgan syndicate went into
effect last February. They reduce the
gold in the United States treasury to
slO1, 3O23 1863, or a loss of more than 81, 900 =
900 from the highest point it reached after
the syndicate had made its final payment
last month. On July 8 the gold reserve
reached Sl07. 54l.375. being higher than on
any day since February 20, 1898. Between
the two dates named, S169, 400 900 United
states bonds were sold at prices aggregat-
ing Sls2, 900 900 and the gold reserve, which
was something over s65, 000. 900 in January,
1888, replenished as 1t has been by these
BOND sales, amounts to-day to little
ilOlc lhdn Slul,UOO,Uyp or d net loss OF Sl46,-
900, 900.
Department officials are 10th to discuss
the conditions of the treasury since the
renewed gold shipments or to express an
opinion as to their probable extent or
when the shipments will cease or whether
the bond syndicate Will feel itself bound
10 continue to replace the gold with
drawn.
With exchange at sl,9O1s, the opinion is
generally expressed that gold exports to
tho extent Of $50, 900 900 are likely to occur
before October l. The only thing that is
likely to reduce the rate of exchange is
heavy shipments of American cereals
Aside from the decline in the gold reserve,
the treasury situation Ia regarded as en-
couraging as the receipts are gradually
approximatng to the expenditures. The
excess of expenditures over receipts for
the past two years amount to s107 600, 900,
and for the month and third which has
elapsed OF the current fiscal year, $l5. 00O,-
600. But the officials express the hope
that by January list, next, the receipts
will nearly equal the expenditures.

THE CAMBRIDGE ATHLETES.
They Will Sail From England o.
August p.

LONDON, July 31.-The Standard says:
The Cambridge team. which is to meet
Yale, was completed yesterday and will be
made up as follows: F. s. Koran, presi-
dent Of the Cambridge University Athletic
Club; W. E. Lutyens, w. Fitz-Herbert, c.
H. Levin. G. Conner Williams. E. H. Wild
ding. L. E. Pilkington, Fletcher, E. ]. NJ
Watson. A. B. Johnston, w. Mendelsohn,

which will enable them to have a months
practice
Messrs. Koran, Lutyens and Fitz-Her-
bert will also assist the London Athletic
Club in their contest against the New York
Athletic Club
The Sportsman says: Regret will be
general here that Yale does not see it's
way to have three-mile race; as Koran
will not have a chance of displaying his
brilliant long-distance form unless he as
sists Lutyens in the mile
Sporting Life says: 1T will be the last
occasion when Lutyens will don the colors
of Cambridge and we hope that he will be
successful. The team are not over-confi-
dent themselves, but they ought to create
a favorable impression. Hemingway, the
long-distance jumper, is gonig out with
Mr. Mitchells cricket team. and it is un-
derstood that his services will be available
against Yale, If they are really required
In the Oxford-Cambridge contests this
year, Cambridge won five out of nine
events as follows: E. ]. NJ. Watson, put

out last evening, and captured a sea SER
pent after hard work 1t was dead when
seen ard had apparently been killed by the
paddle wheels of big steamboat. 1t IS be-
Esved to be the animal that was seen in
Long Island sound recently by Christian
Endeavor delegates and others. Here is a
description which one of it's captors gave of
the odd monster:
The animal stretched out on the grass

He had an enormous head and vicious
mouth. with two rows of teeth in each jaw.
The body was largest in the middle taper
ing to either erd and covered with notified
black and brown scales. 1t was at least a
foot thick at the largest part, and at two
points between the head and tail there were
queer fin-like protuberances that gave the
beast a real sea serpent appearance. The
eyes Were large and brown, and the head
over the eyes was divided into two bony
hillocks
a thick rope about three feet long, shredded
at the ends and adjusted in slp-noose,
just back of the monsters head. 1t looked
as If the beast had been caught in this
moose, but had bitten the rope holding it,

THE FEDERATION OF LABOR.
Action on Many Matters Mt the Meet
ing Last Night.


Thirty-two organizations were represent
ed at the weekly meeting of the Fedora
ton of Labor last night. Credentials from
the delegates from the plumbers, eccentric
engineers and carriage and wagon makers
were received and the delegates admitted.
The committee having in charge prepa-
ration of a float for Labor day reported
having agreed upon a design representing
the condition of the workingman under the
eight-hour system, as compared with that
when he labored under the ten and twelve
hour systems.
The Crawford Paving Company was re-
ported violating the eight-hour law in
their cement paving contracts. 1t was
stated that the firm has refused to employ
members of the Cement Workers Union,
who insisted upon working eight hours, and
that cement workers were brought from
Baltimore and made to labor for ten and
siderable discussion, the matter was re-
ferred to the Cement Workers Union, with
instructions to procure data with a view to
beginning a prosecution against the firm
for violation of the eight-hour law.
Attention was called to the opinion pub
lished in The Star of Mr.. S. T. Thomas
attorney for the District, holding that the
Commissioners did not have authority of
law to insert in contracts for the construc-
ton of District public buildings a require
ment that the maximum rate of wages
shall be paid the labor.
Exception was taken to Mr. Thomas
position. The matter was finally referred
back to the committee. with instructions
to again see the Commissioners and pre-
sent to them the case from the Federation
standpoint.
When the call of the trades was made the
tailors reported that very harmonious re-
lations now exist between the union and
the assembly, and announcement was male
that the two organizations will hold an
open meeting in Typographical Temple
August 10, on which occasion addresses
will be made by prominent workers and
the advantages Of organization discussed.
Much interest was manifested In the
Labor day parade. and all the organizations
were reported as working earnestly to make
the occasion a great success.

LATE SPORTING NEW S
MADE OUR PITCHERS WEARY.
The New Works Had ON Their Batttn
Clothes Yesferdny

The New YOrks Had ON Their Batting
Clothes Yesterday.
There Is not much to say about the game
yesterday between the Washingtons and
the New Yorks, except that the former
played like everlasting marionettes, and
the latter like pennant winners. For the
Ger eft of those who may never have had
the pleasure Of the acquaintance of a
marionette it may be stated that 1t is an
OBJECT that looks like a man and acts a
trifie like man, but isn't man at all. 1t
has everything but life and head.
There was neither head nor tail to the
game put up by the local team yesterday
1t was all tumble. Joyce had his tongue
hard as he kicked and jawed he might
have accomplished something better in
the total score. He did manage to push
the ball ever tie fence for homer in the
gave the only imitation of ball playing
given by the entire home team during the
long, tiresome contest. Boyd started in
to pitch for the Washingtons. and lasted
Giants had all the fun they wanted with
him. Then he retired for Marlarkey who
did just enough better to let the visitors
hit him about often enough to keep on
adding run after run to the score.
1t Is useless to go into the narrowing de-
tails of the game. Amos Rusie was the
most prominent and important detail of
all, for he was practically invincible.
A new man named Hunt umpired behind
the bat and Mr.. John Heydler, well known
as local judge of the game, did the field
work. Hunt was peculiar in his manner.
and decidedly unique as to his voice. But
he did well enough, and If it had not been
for a very questionable bit Of judgment
early in the game, when he called foul a
hit bysBoyd that appeared to a majority
of tine spectators to strike the line fair
and square, his work would really have
teen above par. Heydler. as usual, was
beyond criticism.
Hassamer appeared again in right field.
but he seemed little slow. The star
play of the game was by Stafford in the
first inning, when, with two out, he took
a trip into the air. collared ball thrown
in from right field after Hassamer had ham,
mered it down to the fence. gripped the
sphere like grim death, turned several
kinds of somersaults, and touched Gentle
Willie as he tried to elongate his hit into
a two-bagger. 1t was really wonderful
play. and shut off a run, as MCGUIRE was
going for the plate with his tongue hanging
out. The rest of the game was featureless.
Crooks did, however, field like real ball
player, although he made an error. The
score tells the tale:

The mining town of Brookside, fifteen
miles west of Birmingham, Ala, is in a
state of panic over race riot which oc-
Cured yesterday. resulting in the death of
two deputy sheriffs and a number of ne
groes
The fight, which lasted for over an hour
was between an organized band of white
miners, headed by Deputy Sheriffs A. T.
Wood and Joel Baxter, who were trying to
arrest Jim Biggers. negro, and a crowd of
the latter's friends. Over one hundred and
fifty shots were fired.
Mine Boss Culverhouse of the Sloss Iron
and Steel Company discharged Biggers for
a violation of mine rules. Biegers remain
ed about the place making threats. He re-
fused to les We the companys premises, and
a warrant was sworn out for his arrest for
trespassng. Deputy Sheriff Wood and Spe-
ciar Deputy Joel Baxter went to arrest
Biggers AS they approached Biggers fired
upon them with Winchester rifle. A bull
let passed through Woods head and an
other through his heart, killing him in
stanfly. Baxter was mortally wounded,
but was able to get back to the camp and
give the alarm The whole force OF miners
at once organized and went to arrest Big
gers. The latter in the meantime had call
ed in a number of his negro friends, and
when the two parties met a pitched battle
resulted, the negroes fleeing to the woods.
1t is said that half a dozen or more were
shot down, several of whom We're killed
outright and the others badly wounded.
The town of Brookside is in a state of
great excitement, every man in town being
armed. Shooting was kept up at intervals
for two hours or more.
Late last night word reached Birming-
ham from the telegraph operator at Brook
side that attack by the negroes was
feared. When the first news of the fight
reached Birmingham last evening Sheriffs
Morrow and Chief of Police Mcdonald
summoned all the available officers, and a
car load of them started at II o'clock for
the scene of the riot.
Deputy Wood, who was killed. was eX-
sheriff of Talladega county. 1t is believed
that the arrival of the force Of officers
from Birmingham will restore quiet and
that no further demonstration will be made
by the negroes. Trouble between the white
and black miners employed at the Sloss
Company's mines at Brookside has been
brewing for some time. There has always
been ill feeling between the two races. and
1t needed but the first shot to bring
