CARLISLE Is SILENT.
Refuses tn Express Himself ON the With
drawsis of Gold for shipment.

Washington, Sept. 14.-Secretary Car
Isle positively declined this morning to
express any opinion on the subject OF
the heavy Withdrawals OF gold at New
York for shipment to Europe tomorrow.
He was advised early in the day that
today's Withdrawals would likely APP
expressed that Lazard Freres, original
emb OF the bond syndicate, had
Joined in the gold export movement and
some speculation was INDUCED in to the
effect that 1t meant an end of the syndl-
cate agreement to maintain the gold re-
serve. Still there was no explanation
vouchsafed and treasury officials are APP
p~arently as much in the dark as the
public az to the syndicate's intention
and purposes AS a means OF obtaining
gold, Secretary Carlisle accepted the Of
fer of several parties To supply gold at
New York. He agreed To give them the
government contract rates for ship
ments of currency from Washington 10
any point designated upon their depos-
iting gold in New York, provided the
gold so deposited was not Withdrawn
from the treasury. At present shippers
have TO pay bankers rates, which Is
considerably higher than the govern
ment rates. 1t is thought that consid-
cradle gold will be obtained in this way.
j.. Pierpont Morgan spoke reassurinS-
ly OF the outlook. He said:
The bond syndicate Is still in The
field. There has been no rupture. The
syndicate will continue TO do all II can
to maintain the treasury reserve al
500, 900. 900. The obligation of the syn
dicate expired, however, some time
ago"
The following statement was made In
writing by Messrs. LaZard Freres:
Hoping bills of exchange against
merchandise export would come in the
market in fair amounts during the
first half of September, W. continued
tor a long time to supply u customers
with bills of exchange for which We
could not at the time find cover A
combination of circumstances leaves
the market bare OF commercial bills
and makes necessary the shipment OF
gold TO cover part OF the accumulated
indebtedness and to continue supply
ing the daily demands of trade.
The reasons for these conditions
are, in part, the late cotton crop and
the slow movement thereof, the home
trade holding large quantities OF cot
ton at cheap prices, and it's disposition
TO buy freely at quotations now rul-
ing. Further reasons are the poor de-
mand for our wheat and the low price
1t brings and the cheapness Of money
at this center, which makes 1t undo
sirable for European bankers 10 in-
crease their loan funds here
In reply to questions a member OF the
firm said he desired to state that there
was nc special significance In the ship
ment Of gold, but that IL had to go to
meet a temporary emergency, and that
with the moving of the cotton crop the
whole difficulty would adjust Itself.

The Senatorial Investigating ommittc
win DON Begin Business.

Philadelphia, Sept. 1.-THE decks are
being cleared for the opening sessions
Of the senatorial investigating commit
tee. which will hereafter be known as
the philadelphia Lexow.' Senator An
drews, chairman of the committee, and
Senator Thomas, its secretary, are both
in the city. and have had several con-
ferences with the executive council or
the CitiZans' Municipal association.
The opening will be held about the 18th
inst, at the M~etropole hotel. Although
both the city and Legislative committees
are nonpartisan, the fact is recognized
that the investigation Will. in a very
large measure. be directed towards the
doings OF many Of the local members
Of the anti-Quay combine, and theii
~lieutenants. 1t was the knowledge that
these would be affected, that induced
the committee To postpone active oper'
atoms until after the Harrisburg con
Vention, In order that il might not be
charged that the body was simply a
whip in the hands OF the present direc.
tor OF state republican politics. The
result of the Harrisburg convention ap'
peared To stimulate Interest in the pros
Dectiye disclosures before the commit.
tee, and to give rise TO innumerable
rumors concerning the men likely to be
implicated. Members Of the committee
say that they mean business n that
the probing will go TO the bottom, and
color is given TO this declaration by the
fact that the counsel or "Gof" Of the
committee will be Silas w. Petit, who
has just won his fight against the re-
ceiyers OF the Northern Pacific railroad,
and who is regarded as one of the keen
est and ~shrewdest ~''probers" and cross
examiners In the United States. Sena-
tor Quay will not be in the city during
the Investigations; the tax upon his
health during the recent campaign com-
polling him TO go to Florida for a long
stay. The combine people claim to have
no fear of the outcome Of the investiga-
ton, and say that the Quay side will
be hurt quite as much as their own.

ST.. Joseph, Mo, Sept. 1.-THE SER
pent In Mud lake. south OF this city,
has been seen again, this time by An
derson Mccoy, "A brother OF Policeman
Mccoy. The serpent has been seen a
number of times during the past sum-
mer and several times IL has been
caught in nets by fishermen. but broke
through the nets, leaving a hole large
enough for a horse 10 pass through.
The fishermen have never been able 10
land 1t.
Mccoy has a strong boat which he
uses to hunt ducks on the lake In the
season when they are plentiful there.
He was out i'm this boa a few days ago,
when something struck 1t, and he de-
clares IL was knocked ten feet into the
air. When the BOAT came down again
Mccoy saw the serpent sw1rling In the
water a short distance away. He could
not see it's size or shape, but saw
enough of IL to know that II is of huge
size. His brothers boats have been
struck "A number of times, but no injury
resulted. The fishermen at the lake
are considerably excited about the pres
ence of such a mysterious object In the
water. Mccoy things IL is a large fish
that got into the lake from the river
when the water was high.
