Washington, Aug. l2.-The drain
upon the gold reserve of the treasury
seemed to have begun in earnest to-
day when the officials were advised
of the withdrawal of 81 100000 from
the sub-treasury at New York for
export. This condition of affairs has
occasioned much speculation of the
means that the administration will
employ to maintain the gold reserve
or replenish it should the probable
Withdrawals reduce it below $780,
900, 900. 1t may be stated almost
authoritatively that, as between a
mother issue of bonds and the calling
of an extra session of Congress, the
former will be resorted to.
