Indianapolis, Jan. 7.-For the next
three days the congress of Indiana In
dustrial Associations, including the
wool growers, bee keepers, short-horn
breeders and swine breeders associa-
tions, the State Farmers Reading Cir
Gle, the State Engineering Society and
Highway Improvement Association and

session here, and the multiplicity of
events has brought to the state capital
small army of tillers of the soil, breed

opened today with the annual delegate
meeting of the state board of agricul-
ture, and the tenth annual convention
of the Wool Growers Association. The
terms of eight members of the former
body expire this week, and it is a note
worthy fact, as indicating the interest

that there are contests in nearly every
district. Mayor Taggart and Governor
Matthews were among the speakers at
today's meetings.

New York. Jan. 7.-Considerable IN
decision was manifested today by some
gold shipping houses and additional or
ders were given about the close of bust
ness. The actual amount to be snlppeo
tomorrow is $2,725,OOO, and this IS oeio"
the previous estimates. It Is currently
believed the exports for the week Will
exceed SIS, 900, 900. The several amounts
that will be forwarded tomorrow are:
Lazard Freres, $1,625,000 in bars $780,
900 of the sum guaranteed being en-
gagged week ago, but withhelO; Won
Hoffman & Co., 100000 in bars, and
Heidelbach, Ickelheimer & Co., 100000
in bars and 100000 in coin.
An engagement of $850,000 in gold coin
was made by F. S. Smithers & co. The
probable disposition Of this gold has not
been learned, but the order is alleged to
have been traced to the Bank of New
York. The officials of the institution
named would neither confirm nor deny
the reports.
It was rumored that a large aggregate
amount of gold had been deposited at
the SUBJ treasury in exchange for green
backs. The only definite information
which came to hand on this point was
Of two deposits of 100000 each, one by
Zimmerman & Forshay and the other
by the Mercantile bank Of New York
So far as could be learned these deposits
do not reflect any concerted treasury
relief movement by the banks, and the
object Of the deposits was concealed in
these instances.

First Annual Session at Springfield Dis
cusSes a VARIETY OF Topics.
Springfield, ILL.,, Jan. 1.-THE first an
nual session Of the Illinois Farmers In
stitute opened in the senate chamber
Of the state house shortly after noon to-
day. This organization was brought
into existence at the last session of the
state legislature, and is the pioneer as
ISOLATION of it's kind in this country to
be created in such a manner. It's object,
as set forth in the statutes, is to develop
a greater interest in the better cultiva-
ton Of crops, in the care and breeding
Of the most profitable types of domestic
animals, in extending dairy husbandry,
promoting agriculture, directing atten-
ton to the Importance of farm drain
age, stimulating the spirit Of improve
ment in the construction of public high
ways, and discussing the best methods
Of general farm management.
The attendance at the initial meeting
today was very large. Right Rev.
George F. Seymour, the Protestant
Episcopal bishop Of this diocese, open
ed the proceedings with prayer, and an
address of welcome was delivered by
Governor Altgeld, to which response
was made by Hon. F. M. Palmer, first
president of the institute. Reports were
then presented from the various con-
gressional districts upon the agricul-
tural outlook and the condition of far
mers' institute work. At this evenings
session the delegates discussed what
the state is doing for the education Of
the farmers children and what the
state agricultural college and the state
board Of agriculture are doing for the
Illinois farmer. The sessions will con-
tinue for two days.
A large number of associations, in
Guiding the State Cattle Breeders,
Swine Breeders, Sheep Breeders and
Poultry Breeders, also hold their an
nual meetings today and tomorrow,
and altogether this gathering Of the
husbandmen of Illinois is the most i'm
portant ever held in the commonwealth.

Tho New York World has within the
past few weeks made Il couple Of the
biggest strokes of the history Of journ-
alism, in its procurement of messages
of peace and good will from the Prince
of Wales and other English dignitarcs
to. quiet the Venezuelan furry and in
its successful war against the gold
bond syndicate. While its own tone to-
wards the administration has not been
quite Just on either of these questions,
its service to the country in both has
been of almost measureless value. In
the Venezuelan business the express
sions it obtained have made any
other issue than a peaceful one a
practicai inposssibility and there is
no disputing the fact that it was a.
great mind that could see and grasp the
opportunity. In the bond matter it is |
true that its powerful work, leading |
off with its OTTER to take 81. 000. 600 Of |
he bonds ITSELF is what has made the
Dan Il success. The country and even |
good financial judges had settled
down TO belief that in the peculiar
circumstances existing for the past
year or two, it was helpless in the
hands of syndicates. if gold payments
were to be continued Ii needed the
Worlds stirring up to realize its own
strength and resources and confidence.
