COLD FROM AUSTRALIA
SCHEME 70 SAVE EXCuaNGE ON
NEW YORK
The steamer Mariposa brings a Big
Load OF Sovereigns for
the Mint.

In connection with the follow
ing article from the San Francis.
co Chronicle, readers of the Bull
LET1N will recall an item in yes
terday's issue stating that the
steamship Monowai, due here on
the 18th inst, has on board 81
375,000 in gold for the United
States:
The steamship Mariposa, which
arrived from Australia yesterday,
had on board 100000 gold sover-
eigns, consigned to bankers in
this city, whose identity has not
been disclosed. The bullion value
of the coin is something like
S2,5O0,OO0. ....
1t was removed as soon as the
steamer docked to the Mint, where
it will be tested for Gneness and
weight, and then removed to the
b-Treasury, where it will be
stored as bullion, and is destined
to play a prominent part in set
Ting the balance Of trade between
the Coast and New York.
Orders were received at the
Sub Treasury yesterday to pre-
pare for the reception of the gold,
and to place it to the credit Of
New York bankers, whose names
were not divulged. 1T is stated on
good authority that the owners of
the bullion will be permitted to
withdraw from the Sub Treasury
at New York city the bullion
value in gold, without paying the
rate of exchange. On such an
immense amount of money this
would be a very large sum.
In addition to this big saving,
which would amount to many
thousands of dollars, it is said
that the purity of English gold
will enable the owners to gain l
per cent by having it coined into
American double eagles at the
San Francisco Mint.
At this season of the year the
balance of trade is in favor of New
York, on account of the heavy
purchases of fall and winter goods
from Europe. The flow of gold Is
eastward. During the past fort
night, instead of Withdrawing
gold from the Sub. Treasury here,
as has been done for three months
past, bankers have been deposi-
ting gold and asking for green
backs, in order to facilitate the
shipment of money to New York.
This has been going on for
about a fortnight, and the result
is that the gold reserve here has
crept up from less than $5,000,-
900 to nearly $9,000,00O, and is
daily being increased. This in
fiux of wealth from beyond the
Pacific will again change the tide,
and it is confidently expected that
Withdrawals of gold from the Sub
Treasury will soon commence
again.
This is the first time in the his
tory of San Francisco that gold
shipped from the Orient has been
placed to the credit of Eastern
bankers in the United States
vaults here. Other shipments of
gold from Australia are expected.

CANADA WANTS RECIPROCITY.
Move TO Establish IA Treaty with the
United States.

A special to the New York Sun
from Ottawa says: The Minis
ter OF Trade and Commerce, Sir
Richard Cartwright,s started forBos-
ton Thursday night to have a con-
ference with the British Colonial
Secretary, Joseph Chamberlain,
as to the opening of negotiations
for a reciprocity treaty between
Canada and the United States. The
question of joint British and
Canadian subsidy for a Pacific
cable and fast Atlantic steam
ship service is also to be dis.
cussed.
The new administration at Otta-
wa has changed materially the
policy of Sir Charles Tupper. The
Pacific cable project is not indors-
ed by the Laurier Government,
while the proposed twenty knot
Atlantic steamship line will be
made an eighteen knot service.

change. But, then, the railroad
is a big fellow and the MEssEN-
GER is small, but the true philos-
ophy is: No one is too great to
be just; and there are some few,
even among railroads, who think
it wisdom to be wise in their own
behalf, although some others
might profit by their lberality in
some small degree. Perha ps
the Union Pacific never took this
last view of it. If they had they
might not be in the hands of re-
ceivers. But, they say, we are
in hard lines-governed by the
men the government has seen fit
to place over us-we can't. 1t
would be a large task to convince
any man of reason that other
roads would not join to make q
through route to any portion of
our nation-if that line were to
be well advertised, as a result of
the combination. Don't for a
moment believe any one is de-
ceived. Does it pay ?

are said to be spending money
literally to delay Congressional
action.
Senator Morgan's resolution
congratulating the republic of
the Transvaal for maintaining
its institutions of political liberty
against the encroachments of its
enemies, which was referred to
the committee on Foreign AT
fairs, was somewhat of a sur
prise. While innocent enough
and entirely proper under ordin
airy circumstances, the present
relations between the United
States and Great Britain and the
relation of the latter towards the
Transvaal republic makes the
resolution look like a sheer at
England.
1t is altogether probable that
Representative Pugh, of KY, in
tended to be especially patriotic
when he introduced a bill provid-
ing that cities of 100, 900 or more
inhabitants may obtain postage
stamps of special design-mem-
orials of local history and men
from the Postmaster General,
but there are people just sordid
enough to regard the bill as being
entirely in the interest of the
stamp dealers.
Democratic newspaper men of
Washington are just hopping
mad because of the language
used by President Cleveland in
his letter to Senator Gallery, OF
La, denying that he had made
any deal with the Morgan bond
Syndicate. The paragraph in
l the letter to which the cores
) pondents take special exception
: is the following: II am amazed

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent.

From Our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, d. @. Jan. o.
The silver men have the whip
hand of the Senate and while
they do not expect to accomp-
lish any legislation, they intend
to demonstrate their power. The
bill for the free coinage of silver
which was reported as substi-
tute for the House bond bill and
which is now pending in the
Senate they intended to pass,
although they have little faith in
it's getting through the House
and know that it would be Veto
ed if it did; but that isn't the
only way they propose to demon
strate their power. Senator Tel
Ter has served notice on the Sen
ate Finance Committee that he
will not allow the House tariff
bill, which the Republican eau
Gus ordered reported without
amendment, to be reported with
out an amendment providing for
the free coinage of silver, and
that notice has thrown the COM
mittee into a deadlock which will
be broken nobody knows when.
1t has not been decided when
the debate now going on in the
Senate on the bill for the free
coinage of silver will end, but it
will probably depend more upon
the wishes of the friends of the
bill than upon it's opponents, who
have declared that they would
raise no obstacles to bringing it
to q vote at any time. All agree
that it will pass, the only differ
ence of opinion being as to the
majority it will get.
The Venezuelan boundary com
mission is now getting down to
business. Consequently its meet
ings are held behind closed
doors.
The House after a more or less
acrimonious debate has adopted
a set of rules. not differing wide

ceivers are always wise; but
sometimes their wisdom has been
questioned. They offered the
MESSENGER, the only paper pub
lished in a county, the magnif-
cent sum of $40 last year, if it
would send them two papers and
publish all advertising matter
they might send for one year.
The papers were $40; so that
they really offered the sum of
$50 for all. Now there is no
person more interested in know
ing the facts and resources of a
country than q railroad that
feeds from it. So, on the whole,
for what they would ask at fair
rates. at least, SIS worth of work
they magnaninously offer $50.
Fair, in the extreme
But the question is not upon
the fairness-for railroads are
expected to override fairness,
and are rarely found lacking in
meeting expectations, but it is
upon the amount of pay it pro-
duces. In the Exposition at New
Orleans the MESSENGER took an
active part in its behalf, and in

The MESSENGER was active ir

sponded in the same way that
they had done on the prior oc
casion, both to the road and the

was at SanFrancisco. The rail

SALvATIONIST BRIG. BREWER.
His Work Since He Assumed Charge of the
New England Division.

Brigadier Brewer of Boston, leader of
the Salyation Army in New Enlgapo,
who is TO be in this city Thursday next
at 775 Westminster street, has worked his
way up to place In the front rank OF
men OF affairs. He took charge OF the
army here six years ago, and during that
time the number of corps hes more than
trebled,as has also the number Of soldiers,
while the number OF officers has been
more than quadrupled. Then there was but
one executive center with one executive
depart ment; now there are three execu-
tive centers with ~ departments, under
the supervision OF 10 executive officers.
Then the division comprised but one
district, while now there are four.
During this time slum work has been
established, large and beautiful rescue
home has been opened for the unfortunate
women of New England, and the sale of
army literature increased more than five
fold.
The spiritual work has also been greatly
deepened and widened, and the summer
camp meetings and the great mid winter
gathering in Boston attracting immense
crowds OF people not only from the
ranks Of the Salvationists, but from all
classes Of society.
In personal presence Brigadier Brewer
is commanding and attractive, standing
six feet high, and being finely proper
toned. His eyes are blue, his hair is
almost golden, his face is boyisb; in
fact he looks like a oashing school boy
and no doubt could have made bis mark
as a college at thlete. lie is very serious
and thong htful, and is an intensely prac-
tical, earnest, fiery speaker.
His latest enterprise is the publishing
OF the thrilling book, entitled "Iiiting
the VEIL or Acts OF the Salvationists, -" in
which are letters from Ills Excellency
Governor Gresnhalge, Ex-Governor Rus
sell, Mary A. Livermore, DIR. Lorimer,
Mayor Curtis of Boston, and other dis
tinguished citizens. HIS greatest pros
pective enterprise Is the erecti, n OF a
divisional headquarters in Boston al a
cost OF $3.50, COO.
His strongest o nts ale probably his
exact application of the strictest busi-
ness methods 10 all his work, and his re-
msrkable powers OF organization and
executive tact and skill which recently
led big business concern to offer him a
position at $4,000 year, position which
he promptly refused, preferring to work
for the lowly unchurcbed masses through
the Salvation Army at a salary OF s13
week.
He has a wife, who is his siren yest
helper in his great WORK, and TWO lovely
little boys. who constitute his home
circle. He has secured the confidence and
sympathy of the churches ard pastors OF
New England, and especially of Boston,
where there is scarcely large church
where he has not spoken, whose leading
pastors are his personal friends, ard most
OF whom are among the 5l6 auxiliary
members of the army in New England.
