WITHDRAWALS OF GOLD,
Treasury Officials Say That
They Do Not Fear a
Raid.
Members Of the Syndicate Inter-
ested la Keeping Up the
Reserve.

WASHINGTON, D. G.. Aug. Treasury
officials were much gratified this after
noon when they learned that no large
amount of gold had been withdrawn for
shipment tomorrow. The only with
drawal of which the department was noti-
fed amounted to but $2l, 900, but this does
not appear in to-day's statement. The re.
cent heavy demand on the reserve showed
itself to-day, the official total of the re-
serve at the close of business being $103,-
O7O, 139 as compared with $104, 1862 yes
terday. The actual amount of gold in the
treasury to-day is S151, 1856, 55s, of which
$91 ,614,6 $50 is In coin and $59, 521, 1878 is in
bullion. There are, however, $4S, 066, 400 of
gold certificates outstanding, leaving the
tree gold as above stated, a trifle over
sos, 900 900.
Treasury officials express the hope that
next week will bring turn in the tide
and that gold will begin 10 flow to this
side OF the Atlantic. They point out that
however the syndicate may consider its
contract. the syndicate is interested as
deeply as the treasury and in some re-
spects more in maintaining the reserve.
Under the influence of the boom result
ing from the sale of bonds all securities
and stocks had gone up and should there
"E"ih 10 q SOiQ SCdIc, Sdlu
treasury official this afternoon, 'there
would be a slump in these stocks that
would hurt those holding them. 1t is
therefore to the personal interest of the
syndicate to prevent such a condition from
coming about. For that reason believe
the syndicate will see that no raid Is made
and that the reserve is kept intact"
On the other hand, in other quarters OF
the treasury, there seems to be feeling
that during this month and Septem Der
there will be unusually large Withdrawals
fear is based on the assumption that
according to the terms of the contract any
bonds offered before October / must first
be offered to the syndicate, and that no
such bonds will be offered until the condi
ton requiring their issue are forced upon
this administration. This idea is not
countenaDced about the Secretary's Office.
where there seems to be complete satisfac-
ton over existing conditions.

ARGUED BY CAFFREH.
Efforts to IndMce the Payment of Sugar
Counties.

BONntteS.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 9.-The
hearing to convince Controller Bowler that
he should pay the sugar bounty, as author
lied by the last Congress, was continued
to-day. Senator Caffrey of Louisiana took
the floor. Senator Caffrey contended that
Judicial power was lodged in the judicial
department alone, and the law in question
was constitutional. Even cenceding that
act to be unconstitutional, the power OF
Congress to appropriate money was I'M
limited, especially when that body at
tempted to repair wrong or injury in
ficted by itself. A citizen, and citizen
only. he held, was armed with the power
of questioning the constitutionality of the
act.
Senator Caffrey, continuing, said that if
the constitutional views of the Comptroller
did not coincide with those of the Presi-
| dent the President could remove him and
get man whose views did. Mr.. Bowler
assented to this. "If this question: said
the speaker, "were settled in favor OF Mr..
Bowler's contention the Office OF Comp
troller would be second in power only to
that of the Supreme Court OF the United
States"
At o'clock Senator Caffrey suspended
argument for recess until o'clock. 1t
was then the understanding that the argu-
ments would be closed before adjournment
this afternoon, Judge Semmes following
Caffrey.

Is Not Disabled.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, Aug. 9.-The report
that the coast defender Monterey was dis
abled by defective Ward boilers is denied
by officers. They declare that the Ward
boilers are not success, and that some
trouble has been caused by leaking tubes in
them, but that only twenty five tubes out
of the 500 in each boiler have leaked. The
department was apprised of the condition
of affairs and has ordered an investigation
at Mare Island.
No trouble occurred at Panama as re-
ported, and no difficulty was found in the
passage up the coast in making the best
record yet made by a man-of-war between
Callao and this port. The Monterey easily
made over eight knots average, and when
entering San Diego harbor was using five
boilers, three of them being Ward boilers.
The other Ward boiler having leaking
tubes was being repaired. The repairs
consisted OF removing leaking tubes and
firing UP again.
The department, in the opinion of the
officers, will order new set of tubes for
the. Ward boilers, which otherwise are
satisfactory.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Aug. 9.-The National
circuit bicycle tournament, under the
auspices of the Associated Cycling clubs
of Chicago and the Chicago Athletic AS
ISOLATION, opened to-day. The weather
was scorchingly hot and dry, making a
fast track, but the attendance was not as
large as expected. The performances were
first class. The chief event was the open
mile. class B, IN which E. c. Bald of
Buffalo lowered the world amateur record
to :58 1-5.
There were four heats before the final,
Bald winning the second. Twelve men
rode in the final, and Bald was in great
form, winning easily by several yards.
His time WAS one-ffth of a second faster
than the previous record. G. M. Murphy
of Brooklyn was second. Bald was at first
declared disqualified for looking back, but
as the starter had neglected to notify the
riders of this rule before starting, the de-
cision was reversed. The fiye-mile open
class B, paced was won by T. ]. Titus of
New York in 10:44. Gus Steele reduced
his own State mile record to 1:55. The
tournament will close tomorrow.

Roberts. It deals with the proportion OF
male and female seals taken, statistics be-
ing given to show that this has an all-im-
portant bearing upon the question of
whether or not the seal herd is in danger
OF extinction if operations are continued
under. the present regulations. The fig
ures given show much larger proportion
OF males, according to Collector Milne,
than the Americans have contended were
included in the catch, for they held, he
says, that pelagic sealing was dispro-
portionately fatal to females. The number
OF seals brought to Victoria during last
season was 94,474 by British and STA by
American sealers. OF those taken by the
British 26,341 were killed in Boring Sea.
The males numbered 11,705 and the
females ID. 1863.

Station agent Hughes Decamps, bat Is
Captured at Washoe.
CARSON, New, Aug. 9.--J. G. Hughes,
acting station agent at Dayton, was ar
rested this afternoon at Washoe on a
charge of embezzlement, preferred by the
Virginia City and Truckee Railroad Off
Gals. He had been in charge OF the Office
four days, and was behind from $500 to
$500. When the westbound train arrived
at Dayton this morning the conductor
found the station office locked. He broke
in and found that the agent had de-
camped. Sheriff Lyon was notified and
traced Hughes to Empire, where it was
learned he had hired man to take him to
Reno without passing Frankton or Carson.
Passenger Agent Bender, who was in
Reno, went on a special train to Washoe
and caught Hughes. The latter gave up
all the money in his possession and made
clean breast of everything. He was
taken back to Dayton this afternoon and
lodged in Jail.
Hughes had been making frequent trips
to Virginia and "bucking the tiger" The
presumption is that wine, women and
cards led to his downfall. He is reported
to be short with Wells-Fargo.

SEAL HERDS DEPLETED.
Deadly Work of the Spear In the Berfng
Sen.

Deadly Work. of the Spear In the Berfng
Sea.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 9.-The
statements made by sealers that the seal
herds in the Boring Sea are being rapidly
depleted and that the determination of seal
life there is threatened do not create sur
prise among the officials in the State and
Treasury Departments, which have to do
with the Governments interests in Boring
Sea affairs.
A communication received at the State
Department from w. P. Roberts, United
States Consul at Victoria, says that during
the season of 1S94-that is, the last season
the catch was the largest ever made in q
single year. Roberts follows this with the
significant remark that as result of the
seasons experience, the fear once enter
tanned that the hunters would be seriously
handicapped from the compulsory use of
the spear had been overcome.
A report of a British official, r. A..
Milne, Collector OF Customs at Victoria,
was forwarded to the State Department by

SAN QUENTIN, CAL, Aug, 9.-Fre-

morning. The execution presented hor-
rible sight, for the victims head,was torn
almost from his body and blood spurted in
every direction.
Last night, for the first time since his
conviction, the murderer was restless. He
had played cards with the death watch
until II o'clock and had shown no signs of
uneasiness, but when he lay down for his

touch the question as to whether an appro-

statute is not clear as to whether the claim

by the several boards, was actually ex-

GOVERNOR BUDD VERY WEAK.

Hts Temperature Kept Doscn 6y Con-
slant Zee Water Baths.
STOCKTON, CAL, Aug. 9.-There is NO
marked change in the condition of Gov.
ernor Budd. His temperature is very high
at times, sometimes running up to 10a
degrees, but DR.. Sargent, who is attending
him, keeps it reduced by constant sponge
baths, ice water being used. The Governor
is still confined to his bed, and is too weak
even to worry or fret over his condition.
81 did not know that man could get Sc
weak" he said to DR.. Sargent this morn
ing.
The physician said this afternoon that ii
would be some time before the Governor
would be able to leave his bed. and that he
would not stir from the house for some
weeks if he (the doctor) had anything to
say about it.
"He is too sick man to worry over his
confinement, as many would expect from
man with so much energy" said the
physician. "Just at present there are no
alarming symptoms, and I hope to see
him much better before long. His recovery
will not be rapid, however. 1t will be some
time before he will be able to attend to his
official duties"
Every one, except those of his immedi-
ate family, is excluded from the sfckroom,
and he is not allowed to be bothered with
any matters of business.

that many of the hopyards will go un-

come to be decided, he will be right in
the front rank of the bidders Tor the laurels.
In other words, Sulphite showed that he
could, if necessary, have turned the trick
this afternoon in time which would very
closely approach 200. True, the fastest
time made by him was 2:1211, reduction
of 13l seconds from his record earned at
Freeport, ILL.,, few weeks ago, still the
little fellow was capable of going several
seconds faster, and would have done so
had there been anything in the race to
force him out.
One of the events of the card was match
race between those two old campalgners,
Mascot and Hal Pointer. 1t required i've
heats to decide the contest, and in two
heats the winner was the one that quit the
least in the last hundred yards. As a
Renaissance of other days, the contest was
certainly interesting. But judging by the
performance of the present, the struggle
lost much of its interest. But the two old
timers fought every inch of the way, and
except in the last heat when Pointer was
all out, the finishes were OF the eyelash
order.
Had w w P not struck the knee of his
left fore leg, which was injured in the 2:13
pace at Cleveland last week, in the second
heat the chances are that Star Pointer
would have been forced to much faster
mark than he had at present to win toe
I'll pace, and it is good guessing that he
would have been beaten out for first
money, for w w took the opening heat
in 2:0s1z, and that is not his limit.
