GOLD RESERVE GAINING.
Several Banks Forward the Yellow Stuf-1reas- ury Officials Hopeful That the Drain
 Will Cease.

Washington, Sept 1S.-The treasury gold reserve stood at the close of busi- ness at $95, 7O6 954 gain for the day of s324 ,00O. The gains were made as fol- lows: From National Bank of America Chicago, s5O,OOO; Peoples National bank of Pittsburg, s1OOOOO; First National bank, Brooklyn, $250000; small deposits of gold at the sub-treasuries for cur rency, $74000.
 A withdrawal for export of $150,000 was announced at New York. The slight decline in sterling exchange and the action of the banks in coming to the relief of the treasury and the belief that the syndicate is arranging with the national banks of New York for a large gold deposit encourage treasury officials to hope that the gold reserve will not fall much, if any, lower.

A Brilliant Parade and Imposing and Im-
 pressive Exercises.
 Atlanta. Sept. 1S.-With the suspicious accompanlment of military pomp ana civic dignity, leading an immense crowd of people and honored by the presence of the digntaries Of the church ana rep resentatlves of foreign countries, the Cot ton States and International exposition was formally opened 10 the world this afternoon.
 The parade was brilliant one lacking the tedious encumbrance of great inis- ceIlaneous throng. IL was composed en- tirely of military bodies and bands of music headed by the United States Fifth infantry and the Washington artillery of New Orleans, followed by several reg iments of Georgia state troops.
 The parade moxedfpromptly from the starting point at the.center of the city. al the intersection of Broad and Marietta streets. and was abopt an hour in 'tra yersing the distance of three miles to the exposition grounds. reaching there about 3.S0 o'clock.
 The exercises at the auditorium were imposing and impressive. Ii was grat- flying surprise that the auditorium, though crowded, was comparatively com fortable and the orators could be dis tinctIy heard in all parts of the building. President Collier received great ova- tion when he arose to speak, as did Mrs. Joseph Thompson. president Of the wom- ans board.
 The speeches were all good, and the oraton by Judge Emery Speer of the United States court was a profound ut teranee. The hit of the day was made by Booker T. Washington, the represen- tative of the negro race. who in twenty minutes speech. evoked greater applause than all the others put Together He seemed to have the ear of the audience, and pleased both whites and blacks.

THE NEWS CONFIRMED.
Work ofthe Kucheng Commission Blocked
 by Chinese Authorities.

by Chinese Authorizes.
 Washington, Sept. 1S.-The state de partment this morning received cable information from China effectually prov ing the accuracy of dispatches recently published alleging that the work of the commission engaged in the investigation of the Kucheng missionary massacre has been blocked by the refusal or the Chinese to execute those found guilty unless all future demands should be waived.
 Minister Denby has cabled the depart ment that seven men implicated in this outrage have been convicted and exc cuted This was corroboratcd in dis patch a few hours later from Consult General Jernigan, in which he said the decapitation took place this morning.
 Minister Denby reports that the com mission is still at work and making as rapid progress as possible under the peculiar conditions found in China. There is good reason to believe that further executions will promptly follow convictions.
 The Cheng Tu commission has not been fully organized, but MT. Denby says satisfactory headway is being made. He expects to see this commits sion at work within a reasonable time.
 Minister Yang Yu of the Chinese 1ega- ton called at the department this mcrn- ing and had a short conference with the secretary. The minister was without advices himself and knew of the action of his government only after it had been communicated to him at the depart mpnt

pression had been conveyed that things were in a chaotic state, but the actual opening revealed a series of displays nearer completeness than any ever shown by an exposition at it's opening. The government exhibit is complete and is pronounced by persons who have seen similar exhibits elsewhere to be the finest ever gotten together by the United States, because of it's comprehensiveness and the great artistic skill with which the installation has been made. The fisheries exhibit surpasses even the ex cellent one at Chicago, and is a contin- uous source of delight to the great throngs of people constantly passing through the grotto. All of the govern ment departments are strongly repre- sented and make a superb showing.
 The exhibit of fine arts is also com pleted- Every picture is in it's place and the buildings in perfect order There IS a magnificent display of sculpture, and the exhibit of paintings is pronounced a collection of masterpieces. There is not a common place picture in the whole lot MT. Horace Bradley, chief of the fine arts department, is being congratulated on bringing a truly cosmopolitan exhibit of the highest merit to Atlanta.
 The agricultural exhibit is practically complete, and is an exceedingly interest," ing and attractive display. The exhibits In the machinery hall are not all in place. but many are. Fourteen of the seventeen engines began to move when President Cleveland touched the button.
 The minerals and forestry display is complete and makes one of the most com prehensive and beautiful exhibits of nat ural resources ever gotten together Ev- cry article is significant The exhibit of the Georgia manufacturers is somewhat behind, as are also the exhibits in the electricity building. These, however, will be in shape in few days The ex hibits in the manufacturers building and the transportation building are in good shape and very near completion. The Eu- ropean exhibits, occupying half of the big manufacturers hall. are nearly all in place and by tomorrow night will all be complete.
 The Midway proves to be fine one The villagers are genuine people from abroad. Detachments of Arabs and North American Indians have just ar rived, completing the list. Now almost every radical type on earth is exhibited on the grounds.
 The lake is in fine shape. as clear as a crystal, and it is called "Atlanta's Ex- hibit," inasmuch as it is furnished by thd city water works from a filtered supply. The electric fountain is ready and the electrical display on the grounds proves a great success.

1t is easy of course to understand
how pen drawing should have como
to be SO largely employed and elab-
grated. 1t is matter of reproduce
ton for illustration. An etching
will not print with typo nor with q
steel engraving. This led in tho
early part Of the century to the imi-
tation of steel engravings by wood
engravers, who did the business
most skillfully with immense labor.
Tho drawings for them were mostly
made in pencil. But Photographic
process rendered the intervention Of
the wood engraver needless if the
artist made pen drawing that
would photograph and process well.
A purely technical difficulty can DO
overcome by large numbers of crafts
men. Large numbers accordingly
have learned to make pen drawings
to supplant wood engravings. But
it should be noted that to do this is
itself Il kind of reproductive process.
Few elaborate pen drawings arc
made without II studious foundation
in some other material. The pen
line must frequently be traced or
drawn over the pencil line, very
much like tho engraver's tool

ancients, then, resolves itself into
