THE GOLD EXODUS.
Congressman McDearmond Has a Plan tC
 Ease the Situation.

Ease the Situation.
 Washington, Dec. 20.-(Special Corre- spondence )-The excitement attendant on the recent message to congress by the president has overshadowed in meas ure the fact that the gold reserve is growing less and less every day, until now it is below the 10000, ,000 mark. But. overlooked or not, another issue of bonds must be made if the fallacious theory is to be maintained of paying out gold at the option of the holder for coin obliga- tions
 Representative MeDearmond of Ten nessee has introduced measure in the house which, if adopted, would at least relieve the treasury of it's present em- barrassment. The bill provides for the coinage of the silver bullion and seignlor- age now in the treasury, purchased under the Sherman act. The dollars then coined or the certificates issued in lieu thereof, are to be used to replace all treasury notes issued under the act of July 14 1890, which are to be canceled whenever in the ordinary transaction of business, they are received in the treasury The bill further provides that should the amount of silver bullion notes in the treasury, then a sufficient ly called greenbacks, are to be cancelled until all the bullion then coined has been taken up.
 A number of democrats have spoken very highly of the bill, and while the re- publicans may not allow it to become a law. its enactment would surely relieve the treasury.

PfPERS IN UILLER'S CASE
Said to Have Reached Paris-Delay In
Furnishing Copies of the Evidence.

WASHINGTON. d. c., Oct. 5.-Renewed
interest IN the Waller ease was aroused
to-day by the receipt Of telegram from
Ambassador T. istis. announcing that the
record and lccompanying documents had
been received at the Foreign once IN
Pari., and were being translated.
Although Ir. Eustis does not say SO
I'm his dispatch the presumption is that
the French Government, in accordance
with its promise, will deliver copy to
Mr.. Eustis as soon as the translation Is
completed.
The ship upon which this alleged record
arrived reached Marseilles September
I'D. and this Government expected ,he
delivery OF the same into Mr.. Eustis
hands before this.
An important witness. on the part OF
Mr. WaMr. arrived in New York yester-
day in the person of Mr.. r. @. Wood
fosJ. an American citizen, who was at
Tamatave at the time of the Waller trial
heard the proceedings and read the IN
eliminating letters. Mr.. Woodford comes
direct from Tamatave, and IS the man
who supplied the funds IN 'ough which
Mrs. Waller and family reached France.
He Is thoroughly coaversant with the
facts, and will come 10 Washington next

THE CoLoRED aRmoRr lCCLPTED.
The Action of the Committee is Appre-
ciated by the Officer. of the Battalion.


The Committee on Grounds and Build
ings convened yesterday afternoon for
the purpose of turning over the cavalry
armory and the colored armory TO the
respective military organizations.
The committee first assembled at the
cavalry armory, on north Seventh street,
with the following members present:
Messrs. Epps chairman, Grimes, Gunst,
Briggs Blake, Mountcastle, ana Snead.
The committee waited a considerable time
for the appearance of the proper mill
tary authorities, but none of the au-
thorized officers showed uI&
Colonel Cutshaw stated mat the build
ing was completed, but for the reason
mentioned it could not be turned over.
The building was originally started
with an appropriation made for the STU
art Horse Guards but as soon as the
Ashby Light Horse was organized, the
City Council decided that the armory
should be turned over to the First Regi-
ment Cavalry, and the plans were so
altered as to provide for the establish
ing of two company-rooms on the sec
ond floor. and an additional one for the
field and staff OF the regiment.
Since then the Ashby Light Horse has
expired, and Company G., of which Cap
tain j. W. Lockwood is commandant,
has come into existence. and the new
troop will no doubt occupy the room
which was first assigned 10 the Ashby
Light Horse.
From the cavalry armory the commit
tee proceeded TO the colored armory
which has just been erected at the cor
ner of Leigh and st. Peter street. The
exterior OF the building makes a very
fine appearance, and visitors are by no
means disappointed when they look at
the interior Of the structure. The ar
mory is constructed of brick, with stone
coping, and is two stories high. with a
tower in the centre. on the ground
floor there are four large company
rooms, and on the 1oor above are To-
Gated seven smaller rooms. which are
fitted up in the most substantial man
ner. Owing TO the lack of funds. no
provision could be made in the building
fitted up In the most substantial man
for a drill-hall. but the large yard I'm
the rear OF the armory has been levelled
and surrounded by a high fence. so that
il can be used for drilling purposes until
money enough can be provided for the
erection of a shed.
The committee held "A brief session at
this building, and Col. Cutshaw, after
explaining that all the details in the con-
OF the building had been car
ried out TO mis- satisfaction. was instruct
cd 10 turn the building over 10 the officers
Of the Second Battalion (colored), who
had turned out in full force.
Colonel Cutshaw disposed of the matter
in his usual graceful style and Major
on behalf OF the battalion, &C
cepted the building with a few appro-
pirate remarks. thanking the committee
for its liberality.
