Gold Reserve Again at Low
Water Mark.
Big Withdrawal for Shipment to
Europe To-DaJ-Taik of Another
Issue of Bonds lsevived-No Ac-
tton, However, Expected by the
President at Present.

Washington, Dec 1.-THE treasury
department is informed chat So, ,202,
900 in gold has been withdrawn at the
New York sub-treasury for export to-
day. Most Of the god goes to Ger
many. OF the withdrawn gold $2,-
100000 was in bars and S40O, 600 in coin.
This reduces the treasury gold reserve
to S72,s04, ,766. Talk of another issue
of bonds has naturally been revived by
the heavy Withdrawals, but at the
treasury no preparations for that pur-
pose are said to be in progress. As
congress has not had time to indicate
its intention in the matter it is proba-
BILE that the president will not act at
once in the matter, but delay as long
as, in his judgment, such inaction will
not cause uneasiness. There is said to
be absolutely no doubt that should the
gold reserve drop below what is re
garded as the point of confidence, and
in the absence of congressional action,
either immediate or prospective, the
president will direct an issue OF S50,-
100000 of bonds to reha bilitate the
gold reserve.

HOUSE ELECTION CONTESTS,
There May Be Three Committees To
Decide the Thirty-Odd Cases

Washington, Dec. 17.-Shall there be
one, two or three committees to decide
the thirty-odd contested election cases
now before the house? That is the
question which Speaker Reed is now
trying to settle, and in order to reach a
conclusion he consulted last evening
with the leading republican and demo-
cratic members. The conference lasted
an hour. At the expiration of that time
the democrats withdrew, and the re-
publicans informally discussed the mat
ter for an hour longer. The republi-
cans were unit i'll favor of three
committees, to consist of nine men,
bers each. Ex-Speaker Crisp is reported
to have done more listening than talk
ing, but he was opposed to the general
proposition. There is little doubt that
the result of the conference will be the
formation of three committees, which
will be announced with the other COM
mittees on, possibly, Friday of this
week, just before the adjournment for
the holidays.

DISABLED AT SEA.


Reason. Abandons Assistance.
New York, Dec. 17.-The Pacific
mail steamship Newport brings news
that at $40 a. IN. on Dec. 13 she fell in
with the Atlas line steamer Claribel off
the Carolina coast. She was burning
distress signals, which demanded i'm
mediate assistance. The Newport stood
by until daylight, when the Claribel
signalled, "We are disabled; will you
take us in tow" On answering yes,
the people on the Newport saw small
boat lowered, which brought line, to
which the Newport's hawser was at
tached, and after considerable difficulty
W IS towed to the disa bled vessel. The
officer in the small boat said that dur
ing q heavy gale the Claribels propel-
lor was disabled. The steamer lay at
the mercy of the waves until the New
port took her in tow. 1t was noticed
that the foretopmast was broken, and
after the boat returned on board the
rail amidships was smashed and carried
away, as gale was blowing at the
time. The Newport steamed carefully
ahead with the Claribel III tow, but, to
the astonishment OF all on board, the
hawscr was let go and the Claribel sig
nailed to proceed and report to her own
ers, at the same time dipping her col
ors goodby, which were answered, and
at 9:20 the Newport continued on her
voyage.
