posit Gold in Sub.Treasury.

pected has happened. The administration
finds itself with deficit and daily decreasing
gold reserve. When Secretary Carlisle went
to New York to attend the Chamber of Com
merce dinner he was compelled to appeal to
the bankers Of New York to come forward for
the relief Of the treasury and assure to the
government sufficient gold to restore the re-
serve to the hundred million limit.
Some negotiations have already taken
place with this end In view. When Mr..
Cleveland was in New York last week word
was passed among the banking coterie that
the administration will soon be in need OF
$25, 600, 900 in gold, and it was suggested as
soon as the reserve should fall to $75, ,O0O, 600.
ference between that amount and $l0O, ,OOO, 600
was deposited In the New York sub-treasury.
The president had hoped that his arrange
ments with the Morgan-B Belmont syndicate
would keep the gold reserve intact until Con-
gress was able to supply the necessary lesis-
lation to increase the revenue or to prevent
the drain of gold TO have the clash come
now within fortnight of the assembling OF
the senate and house leaves him in an un-
fortunate predicament II he issues bonds,
his action will be sure to call for bitter de-
nunciation on the part OF the incoming Con-
gress, and the financial policy OF the admin.
istration will come in for unlimited criticism.
A sale of bonds will not meet with tender
treatment at the hands OF the men who will
be In control of tho situation after Dec. 2.
It ia said that the proposition OF the secre-
tary of the treasury is In effect that when the
reserve drops to S75, ,OOO, 900 the bankers can
deposit their surplus gold In the sub.treas-
ury and get in exchange four per cent bonds
on three per cent basis. This plan differs
from tho famous syndicate bond issue IN that
bids we're invited and the Belmont Morgan
combination dictated terms for going to the
rescue OF the bankrupt democratic admins

A PATHETIC APPEAL.
Ex.Consul Waller Dying in Prison
Asks His family For Money.

WA HINGTON. ID. c., Nov. 2l-Ex-Con-
sui Waller writes from his prison at Mines
informing his family that he has been at
tackled with violent hemorrhage that was
so painful and dangerous that 1t seemed for O
time that he would not survive It. The flow
has Teen stopped temporarily, but il another
should occur he would die.
This is the most discouraging word his
family has yet received from him, and 1t is
made even more pathetic and tantalizing by
II statement to the effect that the new dlrec-
tory of the prison has arranged so that he
can purchase such ritions OF food as will be
necessary for his health.
"Piease, therefore, seSl me some money
US soon as you get this letter." he writes
appealinyly, la am in need OF 1t badly.
I am also allowed to buy hannels, and am
in need Of these very much, rs the cold
season Is now on. l hope, therefore, that
you will send me some money so that
I can receive It by the middle OF
November. Send by exchange to Paris, care
OF Gen Eustis. am too i'll nnd nervous 10
write more" This appeal is pathetic enough
in itself. and 1t becomes doubly 80 when 1t is
known that it is made to family who are in
circumstances OF absolute destitution. Mrs.
Waller and her four children are living here
in Washington OH charity.

DIAMONDS EN- MASSE
A Gravel Pit full Ofthe Gems Found
in Northern Ontario.

TOWER, Mimi, Nov. 2l-Girurd Drouillard
and James Martin, prospectors and reputable
citizens, have just arrived here with their
pockets full OF diamonds. They tell strange
story OF the finding of bed OF diamonds in
Ontario. about 400 miles north of Hunter 3
Island, On the boundary line.
Drouillard and Martins report proves be-
yond doubt that riches untold lie buried in
the almost unknown country between the
Canadian boundary line and Hudson Bay,
and that when railroad communication is
once established, in years to come, fortunes
will be made there in day. Several OF the
diamonds brought back by Drouillard and
Martin have been partially cut and polished
by local jeweler, and have been found to
be Of the pure white variety, without . flaw
in them.
The stones brought back by Martin and
Drouillard have every indication OF being
diamonds In the rough. Jeweler Larson, to
whom they were submitted places the value Of
the lot at not less than $4,000 The men have
arranged to buy the diamond mine from the
owner. an Indian named Trodeau. for $1,000.

OPEN TO ALL.
Telegraph Lines May be Built on
Any Road.

WASHINGTON, d. G., Nov. 21-In an ex-
haustive opinion read by Justice Harlan, the
supreme court OF the United States decided
that the contracts and agreements between
the Union Pacific railroad company and the
Western Union telegraph company.by which
the latter was given the sole right to maintain
its telegraph lines ON the right of way OF the
railroad company, are null and void aud can
not BIZ enforced.
Justice Harlan said that any telegraph COM
pany which accepted the terms Of the act OF
1866 had tho right to place its poles on any
postal route OF the United States, provided
1t did not interfere with the railroad com.
pany in the operation OF its road. The
Union Pacific company under the terms OF
the decision, must undertake the mana sc,
ment of its own telegraph line along tn,
route Of its railroad.

Greater New York to Be The First
SteD of The New legislature.


NEW YORK, Nov 21 -"Greater New

It's first and most important business in hand
when the Legislature meets. after Jan.
next. A committee will be appointed repre-
senting both Houses of the Legislature
In the first few days OF the session. and
this committee will be instructed to CO.
operate with the Greater New York Commis-
sion, prepare u charter for the consolidation
OF New York, Brooklyn and other suburbs
and report back to the Legislature within
ninety days.
The Legislative Committee and the com.
mission will be non-partisan in the sense that
it will contain strong representatives OF the
commercial. political and taXpaying interests
OF both cities and leaders OF both parties. At
tine head Of the commission will be Andrew
II. Green, the most enthusiastic consolidation

Another point that was practically settled
at informal conferences recently, was that rs
the people of New York and Brooklyn have

LONDON, Nov. 2l.-The representative In
Constantinople OF the United Press telegraphs
under yesterdays date, that dispatches from
Sivas, dated Nov. Is, have been received
there, stating that the massacres in the Mar
sovan and Amasia districts were renewed
that day. The correspondent also states that
a number OF persons were killed at Sivas on
the 10Th.
U. s. Minister Terrell received dispatch
from Aleppo on the 10th inst, saying that Il
massacre had occurred at Aintab, go miles
northeast Of Aleppo. The governor Of Aleppo
was Immediately instructed by wire to stren-
uously enforce the measures taken for the
protection of the American residents.
Minister Terrell has obtained from the porte
an order for guard Of troops to protect the
American missionaries, who with their fami-
lies are about to proceed to Van from Bltlis
The porte is endeavoring to raise $5, ,00O, 900
for the purpose of assisting the mobilization
of troops.
Tho object Of the porte is clearly to induce
the belief that the troubles are, to great ex-
tent, due the aggressions Of the Armenians
themselves, and that the troops are merely
suppressing riots when engaged In their
work Of slaughter.
