THE GOLD IN THE TREASURY
Seems Likely to Absorb the Peoples
Private Hoards
The Treasury Resources Taxed to Sup
ply the Demand for Paper Money.
Offers of Gold Coin Refused.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-The treas

amount of reserve s121 .526, 364. The net
gain in gold today al New York and San
Francisco was 81 ,034, 100.
The resources of the treasury are be-
ing severely taxed to meet the demand
for paper notes OF all denominations in
exchange for gold In many cases the
gold holders ask for United States notes
of large denominations in exchange.
The latter are as valuable for reserve as
the gold. but they express willingness
to accept Sherman notes, or if necessary
silver certificates. if the government is
unable to furnish United States notes.
The demand for large denominations is
not imperative, the principal thing be-
ing to get paper money. Reports from
all parts of the country tend to show that
nearly all of the gold withdrawn during
the last several weeks was for the pur-
pose of boarding. and now that the sup
posed danger is past. the gold is being
offered at the several sub-treasuries or
is being deposited in banks and so is
finding its way into the government cof-
fers
The rush of gold offers is so great that
in New York at least the assistant treas
urer has been compelled to refuse gold
until such time as he was able to handle
it, and in a number of instances cur
rency has been shipped from one sub
treasury to another to meet the usual

enlightenment of sums aggregating

Sacramento Gets Rid of at Least One
Undesirable Citizen

SACRAMENTO. Nov. 9.-Shortly be-
fore s o'clock this evening there was
murder and suicide on L Street. Eugene
Bosquet fired a bullet into his wife's
brain, and then turned the weapon
against his own head Both died in
stantly.
Eugene Bosquet was a Frenchman, a
dashing and prosperous looking young
fellow. He was a most depraved crea
ture, who about year ago was arrested
upon charge of placing his wife Lucy
in a house of ill-repute. At the same time
he placed his sister in the same house.
Bosquet was sentenced to term in the
penitentiary for placing his wife in the
house. Pending an appeal to the su-
preme court he was released on bail in
the sum of $4,000 which was furnished
by wealthy French friends. The case
would have been heard before the SUI
preme court in few days. Three days
ago Eugene Bosquet returned from San
Francisco and found his wife living with
another man. She told her husband
that all was over between them, and, af-
ter a violent quarrel tonight, he killed
her and then committed suicide.

AN OLD STORY is REVIVED
By Confession Of al Expert Robbers
Wife
Light Thrown on the Big Robbery of the
Adams Express Company
Few Years Ago.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Nov. 9.-Some sem
sational testimony was given before
Judge Barr this afternoon which revives
the story of the theft of $37 900 package
from the Adams Express company few
years ago. Before the arguments in the
damage suit of Mrs. Eugenia Elrod
against the Adams Express company
were begun, the counsel for the express
company introduced as evidence an al
legged confession made by Mrs. Minnie
b. Ketcham. Charles Hardin's wife. In
this confession she stated her husband
had told her that Charlton Eirod got
him the position with the express COM
pany with the understanding that they
were to steal at least million dollars
from the company. Ketcham told his
wife, according to her confession, that
he was completely in Elrod's power and
that Elrod threatened to have him re-
turned to the Missouri penitentiary for
an unexpired term if he did not do as
Elrod desired him. Using this same
threat Elrod, it is alleged, would force
Hardin to give up his salary as fast as
it was drawn, giving him back only
enough to live on, and that in amounts
of 81 and 50 at time.
Finally, according to Mrs. Ketcham's
story, Elrod's creditors pressed him too
hard and he told Hardin to take what
money he could get. Hardin come in one
morning with about $1,000 and said that
he had stolen $35, 900 and had turned the
most of it over to Elrod. They went to
Cincinnati, where he gave Mrs. Braun,
his mother-in-law, $4,000 with which she
bought a house in Moreland, suburb
of Chicago. They made their home
there for awhile, having gotten from Ell
rod $4,000. Then they Travelled over the
country and when he was finally arrest
ed only a small part Of it was left.
From time to time, she says, Elrod had
visited them and had gotten back as
much of the money as they would give
him. According to her confession, this
nagging by Elrod caused her husbani
to spend the money and take to drink
ing. Before he was arrested he had
given his parents in Arkansas $4,000 with
which they had purchased home. 1t
will be remembered that Hardin was
acquitted of this robbery in Nashville,
where he was taken for trial He is now
in the Michigan City, Indiana, prison
for another offense

British agent in connection with the
Soudan expedition, Lord Salisbury said
that he could not say more than that
the concert of Europe seemed to be more
real than ever before. He was very much
pleased with the eloquent speech of M.
Hanotaux the French minister OF for
eign affairs, outlining the requirements
which the powers would insist upon
from the sultan.
He believed, he said, that France
would do nothing to battle European ac-
ton.
Lord Salisbury's remarks contained
only a guarded reference to the disclo-
sures made by Prince Bismarck through
his newspaper organ of a secret treaty
between Germany and Russia, which ex-
listed prior to 1890. The premier alluded
to Prince Bismarck as the greatest
statesman which the latter part of the
century produced.
Lord Salisbury demurred absolutely to
the presumption of the existence of a
permanent and necessary antagonism
between Russia and Great Britain.
OF this presumption Lord Salisbury
said: THAT is superstition of anti
quated diplomacy. l have good ground
to believe that Russia entertains the
same views and pursues the same OBJ
jects as ourselves concerning the terrible
events in the east
In a short peroration Lord Salisbury,
having spoken for forty minutes, re-
peated the sentiments expressed by him
in previous speeches on the subject to
the effect that "our first duty is toward
the interests of our country, our second
duty to all humanity, to bring redress
to thousands without threatening mill
ions with ruin

NEW YORK, April 20.-The stock market

London quotations came higher for Amer
leans, and foreign dealers were purchasers
in this market. There was very little news
of Importance bearing upon prices. The
railroad bond market sympathiZed with the
buoyant stock speculation. The Gould shares
were conspicuous in the trading, Union Pa

activity. The manipulators of Tobacco met
with little opposition in advancing the price
of that speciality per cent. Sugar was
well supported, and after a somewhat er-
ratio course closed with gain of Is per cent.
The general advance. was stemmed for an
interval, about II o'clock, by realizing. The
losses, however, were unimportant. Activity
subsided in the afternoon session, until near
the close, when revived animation and ad-
ditional advances were recorded, imparting
a buoyant tone to the closing. The net
changes were recorded by improvements of
