HEAVY GOLD SHIPMENTS

WASHINGTON, Nov Il, 1895.-The high
rate of sterling exchange and the con
comitant incident Of gold exports are at
tracing attention at the Treasury De-
partment as such gold shipments are
not usual at this season of the year,
but with the balance OF trade still
against the United States because of the
continued heavy imports, they are not re-
garded as unreasonable. On November
che Treasury gold reserve stood $92 943,-
f79; on Saturday last it stood at $92 1885,
674. a loss for the month to date Of $l76,-
sos. During that time 1888, ,449 of United
States notes and treasury notes have
been redeemed in gold. The difference
between the loss in the gold reserve for
the month to date-s176,5G sos and the amount
of notes redeemed-s533 ,499. which is $685.
994, shows the amount of gold gained by
the Treasury in the ordinary course of
business, but al of which and more has
been lost by notes presented for redemp-
ton in gold.
Treasury officials express no uneasiness
about the redemption of gold exports and
think, if any are made. they will not
be large in volume.

TWO MEN AND a PISTOL.
Policemen Think They May Have
Caught Midnight Naurauders.

James Kelly, alias John McGurr, an
expressman, who claims a residence at
No. 534 Montgomery street, and Thomas
Wilson, residence unknown were ar
rested shortly after midnight this morn
ing. There have been SO many robberies
in the lower section of the city recently
that the Chief is sending the whole de-
tective force out on night duty. Last
night Detectives Doyle, Pearson, McNally
and Larkins were securing the neighbor-
hood at Mercer and Brunswick streets
when they were startled by pistol
shot.
on Mercer street they found the two
prisoners. Pearson grabbed Wilson and
relieved him of a revolver. The men
were asked what they were firing at
and replied that a fireeracker had been
shot off The explanation was not sat
isfactory. At Police Headquarters it was
found that two chambers of the re-
volver were empty. One chamber was
accounted for by the shot heard The
second Wilson could not account for
1t will be remembered that Undertaken
Lawrence Connin of Monmouth street
was shot at by burglar early Saturday
morning. The police, say it may be only
a coincidence, but they may be able to
prove that the chamber unaccounted for
may have been emptied at Connin. The
suspects are to be held.

A SCENE ON CHANGE.
Cheers for Commodore Smith and
Kisses for Lord Dunraven.

NEW YORK, Nov. II, 1s95.-The indig-
nation in yachting circles in this country
against Lord Dunraven over his actions
in connection with his futile attempt to
win the Americas Cup, broke out on the
floor of the New York Stock Exchange
this morning and the name of Lord Dun
raven was loudly hissed. while cheers
were given for ex-Commodore James D,
Smith and c. Oliver iselin for the stand
they have taken in the matter Before
the opening of the Exchange members
gathered about in small numbers on the
floor and discussed the question. ana
strong were the terms used denunciatory
of Lord Dunraven.
About 10:30 O. clock when ex-Commodore
Smith appeared upon the floor of the
Exchange he was s1Gounded by large
number of prominent brokers, who shook
him by the, hand and commended hin him
stead in stentorian tones shouted: /:
whats the matter with Commodore
smith?" a thousand voices yociferously
replied: Hes all right" Then some
one yelled: Whats the matter with c.
o. Iselin?' and in laundering tones the
assembled throng assured themselves
that ne was all right, too. The health
of Commodore Smith and C. Q. Iselin
was then proposed and the applause in
response made the famous old building
tremble.
cried out:N"What's the matter with
Dun1'aven?' There was a mighty storm
of Kisses for a reply, which clearly
showed the contempt of the members of
the New York Stock Exchange for the
Earl of DunraVen.
Up to noon today no request had been
received at the New York Yacht Ciup
from Mr. C. Oliver Iselin, asking that
the charges brought against him by
Lord Dunraven be investigated 1t Is
generally known among yechtmen. how
ever. that such request is to be made
and its arrival at the yacht club is
hourly expected.
A meeting of the club will then be held
at once, and a committee will probably
be appointed to act as a court of inquiry.
All the witnesses will be summoned be,

officially without what utter foundation

DUNRAVEN'S BLUNDER.
BIZ Gable to the United Press.

LONDON. Nov. Il, 1S95.-The "St
James's Gazette, in an article on the
Dunraven-New York Yacht Club con-
troversy, says
while Lord Dunraven was in Amerl-
ca we were induced to believe that he
had been rather shabbily treated, but his
statement shows that there is another
side of the question. The officials of
the New York Yacht Club behaved
throughout as gentleman and sportsmen.
They could not change the conditions OF
the race, nor could they drive the pub
lie off the high seas; but if the accusa-
ton brought by Lord Dunraven is un-
true and we decline to credit it without
further proof, this manner of making
it will have succeeded not only in stop
ping all Americas Cup contests, but
in making it very difficult for any yachts

CHILDREN IN DANGER.
School No. rs Opened by Mis-
take -Diphtheria Breaks
Out Again.

Dipht1leria has broken out again IN
the Hudson City section of the city.
Public School No. 25, which has been
closed for the past five weeks owing
to the presence of the contagion, was
to have been opened this morning. Late
Saturday afternoon Health Inspector
Benjamin was notified that two new
cases of the disease had been found
near the school Yesterday two more
turned up, and this mornings mail
brought reports of two additional cases.
The Inspector notified Dr. Allen, who is
President of the Board of Education, to
keep the school closed at least another
week DR.. Allen apparently forgot, as
this morning the school was thrown
open. There were about two hundred
pupils in the building when the health
officers put in an appearance and or
dered the building cleared. The school
is to be kept closed at least another
week. If the disease is not checked by
that time, the school will be closed in
definitely.
The parents of children are becoming
very much alarmed over the situation.
The disease is believed to have been
caused by the turning over of low ground
for a sewer.

Some interesting facts were developed
in the Sessions Court this morning dur
ing the trial of Gustav Herman on a
charge of grand larceny. The complain

testified that he had lost a gold Watch

When her husband discovered that his

her husband found out the true state of
affairs she would lose her home. She
also told him that if she went into court
she would deny all. Mrs. Herman, Gus

have been idle several weeks on account OF
a difference in opinion between them and

will soon be remedied and that work will be

decline in their sales, In fact business men
throughout the town have suffered, for of all
the retail trade that of the potters is most
catered to, as they buy literally when work

The Bellnark and Dale & Davis plants are

that work will be resumed today or later in
