New York. Dec 2S.-The steamers I'm
bria and LaBourgogne, sailing for Eu-
rope to-day. took out only S5s5,67 gold
bars. The balance Of the Sl,5O0.OO0 gold
coin and bars ordered for shipment did
not go to-day. In view OF the bond issue
talk this is regarded as significant.
While nothing OF official character can
be obtained the indications are that local
bankers, including the members Of the
late bond syndicate, are preparing TO ham
die a new government loan.
1t Is not believed that the contract
with the government IL made Will pro-
vide, as the last one did, for the manip-
ulation of the foreign exchanges nor the
protection OF the gold reserve for a sta
ted period. About as sure an indication
as any that New York bankers are get
ting ready for a new loan is found in the
demand for gold in the open market. A
bullion dealer says: During the past
few days the inquiry for gold has been
large and in some cases a small premium
has been obtained for the metal. Many OF
those applying for the metal are firms
which figured in former bond sales by the
government. The tact that ~,b00,OQO OF
the S2,OOO.O0O gold withdrawn yesterday
from the assay office for export was held
by the bankers also strengthens the be-
lief in an early call for bonds, the idsa
being that the gold Will be used in the
purchase OF bonds"
Washington. Dec. 2S-The treasury re-

the expenditures about $4,000, leaving
the deficit for the half year at about s15-

has exchanged SlSOO0,OOO in gold for legal
tenders and for the half year to date
about $7iOO0000
The treasury gold reserve at the close
of business to-day stood at 1853, III, ,997. The
amount withdrawn at New York to-day
was $4,000. stated TO be for domestic
use. During the past few days the with
drawals of gold for domestic use have
aggregated more than $l,O00,OO0 and the
belief is entertained that II is withdrawn
to enable holders to be in a position to
pay gold for United States bonds when
a new issue, as is shortly anticipated, IL
made.

ment that initial steps have been taken
in British Guiana to form a chartered

the origin of this important political de-

retary wrote in September, sketching the
new policy of the imperial government as
regarded interior affairs, and inquiring If
local capitalists were prepared to take up
large concession in the northwest and
develop its mineral and other resources,
at the same time limiting that if not there
were people in the United Kingdom who
were willing to do So
The Gazette then goes on to print a re-
port of a meeting held in British Guiana
for the purpose of forming a chartered
company to take up Mr. Chamberlain's Of

policy of the colonial office, says it is
certain that Great Britain will not con-

I'm the Penitentiary.

In the Penitentiary.
New Orleans, La, Dec. 2s.-Gov. Fos-
ter has written a letter to Judge Fergu-
son Of the criminal court, and each mem
ber Of the. state pardoning board, an
nouncing that he viii not interfere in the
case of Numa Dudousat, the convicted
Doodle councilman. He will be remem-
bered as one of the city councilmen who
have been tried and found guilty and
sentenced TO go to the penitentiary. At
ter his conviction he appealed to the par
doning board to have his sentence of three
years commuted TO imprisonment in the
parish prison. The board after several
months delay decided adversely When
the sentence was about to be executed
Dudousats counsel appealed to Gov. Fos-
ter on the ground that the pardoning
board was incomplete owing to the death
of the Lieutenant governor, and had no
right to act on the case, and asking the
governor to review the trial and convic-
tutional right of pardon or Communication.
The governor referred the request to the
attorney general as to the right of the
executive to interfere and the attorney
general decided the governor had the
power Meanwhile the governor was Bit
terly attacked in a report of the grand
Jury for interfering to prevent Dudousat
from going to the penitentary. AS a
matter of fact the governor was aDso-
lutey innocent of any attempt at inter-
ference. His letter to Judge Ferguson
finally disposed of Dudousats case, and
after exhausting every legal bubble the
counci1 i1man must go to the penitentiary.
