RAIBIEG THE GOLD.
The Treasury Departments Is Fast Losing
It's Gold supply.


It's Gold supply.
WASHINGTON, Feb. THE treasury
yesterday lost s10T38OO in gold coin
and $1,000 in bars, leaving the true
amount Of the reserve 45.289,779. Not
Withstanding the success of the new
loans, fears are entertained that a con
siderable share Of the gold offered in
payment will have to be drawn from
the treasury for that purpose.
In anticipation of the loan the gold
withdrawn from the treasury during
the month from January6 to February
5, amounted to s7,349,545, which added
to yesterdays Withdrawals. makes an
aggregate of about sS,5OG,OOO.
The magnitude of the subscriptions
to Che loan, which amounted to over
sos, 10000, calls attention to the fact
that the last official treasury report
shows the entire stock of gold coined
and including bullion On hand TO be but
1921, 293, POI, and the natural inference
is that a great number of bidders must
have depended upon getting their sup
ply from the treasury or from outside
sources. The amount of gold and gold
certificates claimed by the treasury Of
ficials to be in circulation in the United
States is S55O,OOO,OOO, or 100000 less
than the amounts offered.
What viii be the result upon the re-
serve is a matter Of grave concern, and
while it is expected that it will
be augmented by at least s111,O0OOOC
as the result of the present sale
it is not so apparent that on the date
Of the last installment becomes due
the reserve will not have been reduced
to point not greatly in excess of the
| s10O,0OOOOO requirement,

LBGALLY HANGED.
Beujemia RatciiR Hangs for a wholesaI,
Killing.

Benjemia RateiiR Hangs for a Wholesale
Killing.
CANON CITY, Col, Feb. s. Benjamin
Ratelif. the slayer Of the entire school
board Of Jefferson district, Park county,
was hanged at the penitentiary last
night at 500 o'clock. The crime for
which he suffered death was one of the
most startling IN the history of the
state. Prompted by a desire for revenge
for what he considered gFeig0us wrongs
he deliberately shot down IN the school
house at jefferson the three members
Of the school board, Samuel Taylor,
l. F. MoCurdy and q. D. Wyatt.
The cause of the trouble was the cir
culation Of reports of alleged intimacy
between Ratcliff and his motherless
daughter, a girl of IS. These stories
Ratcliff attributed to the members of
the school board, and on the morning
of May 6, 1895, as the board arrived at
the schoolhouse to open the polls for
the district election they we're met by
Ratcliff who shot them down one after
another with Winchester rifle.

GETTING Tired Of JIAIlISH.
Senator Smith Thinks the MOnrOs Doctrine
Sufficiently Handled.
Congress in Session Is a Menace to tn
Business Interests and Prosperity
Of the Country.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1O.-Mr. Smith,
democrat, of New Jersey. took the floor
in the senate today to deliver a speech
on the pending Monroe doctrine resO-
Iutions.
'There is no occasion for any action
on this subject by this body at this
time" said Mr.. Smith. 1--WE have'done
all that prudence can justify, or pa
tFiotism demand. We have met the
situation outlined to US by the presi-
dent in such a manner as to show that
there is no division of statesman in the
government of the United States when
the question of national honor is in
volved. So much we have done
unanimously in both houses without
regard to party lines and without feel
ing, because, to have faltered or de-
layed, would have been a violation Of
our plain duty to the American people.
By entering upon a discussion Of what
We have already done and by recpening
the question which we have already
answered We could only succeed in
multiplying or at least qualifying the
action we have already taken"
The senator declared his belief that
the people wanted no jingoism. They
are tired of the injection of party
politics and personal ambition into
our dealings with other nations, and
| he expressed the belief that congress
had best pass necessary bills and 60
home, adding: "The mere fact that
we are in session is a menace to the
revival of busine ss and the return of
prosperity.

Lynchers Arrested.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Feb. Several
weeks ago at a place called Broxton
Bridge two negroes, man and a woman,
were whipped to death by white men,
and another, woman, was so terribly
lacerated by buggy traces that she lin
gered between life and death.
1t was the first case on record of a
woman having been lynched in this
state, and Gov Evans sent a detective
to the neighbOrhood and he has just
returned and reports ne has evidence
so strong that a verdict of murder
against a number of accused seems
probable. Eight prominent men have
been arrested.

No Death PUnishments Without Action

Topeka, Kan, Feb. SIN the case of
the state Of Kansas against Carl Arnold
and William Harvey, a proceeding
which sought to cause a writ to be is
sued ordering the execution of the
death sentence on the defendants, who
are in the penitentiary, the supreme
court, by a decision to-day, holds that
'no court has the power to fix the time
for the execution of a death sentence
before the governor has named a day
for carrying it into effect when he re-
refuses to issue a warrant for that pur-
pose"
This is the celebrated "Kinsley case, /"
the defendants being the marderers of
Mayor Marsh Of Kinsley in October,
1894 They we're sentenced by Judge
S. W. Vandivert in the usual way to
stay one year in the penitentiary and
thereafter to be hanged upon warrant
Of the governor. The latter has failed
to issuesai warrant, and as the murder
was one Of unusual atrOcity, Judge
Vandivert and others resolved to test
the peculiar statute of Kansas relative
to the death penalty and seek to hang
the prisoners by an act which ante-dates
that statute. The court holds that the
earlier statutes apply only after the
governor shall have issued a warrant,
and to reach the warden of thepeniten-
tiary should he for any reason refuse
or fail to obey such warrant.

No Extra Session.

TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. $50 much has
been said of the possible evil which a
failure of the legislature to reappor-
ton the state this year would entail,
that Gov Morrill, has examined the
session laws of 1861, the year the first
state legislature met, and the one in
which section of the constitution
commanded to make legislative ap-
portionment He finds that no law of
the kind was passed, the succeeding
elections being in the old districts
made by the territorial legislature,
Failure to apportion in 1861 was in de-
fance of the letter of section 2, but the
acts of succeeding legislatures have
never been questioned and the gov
ernor has no fear of future trouble
should there be no apportionment this
year, although section is still in the
constitution as originally written.

The dose is growing larger. Two
years ago the legal thieves were almost
afraid to issue even a small batch of
bonds. They feared the people would
not stand it. They knew it was an i'm
position, an uncalled for, unnecessary,
fraudulent proceeding aud expected a
great roar, but they ventured a s5O,OOG,-
00O issue. The people roared. When
that wore off a little they tried another
100000 batch and theroar was weak
ar. Then we had to swallow the &c.,
100000 steal, and now they venture a

ting used to it, and in a short time viii
be expected to submit to S200,0OO,OOO

SMITH FAYORS FORECLOSURE.
Secretary of the Interior Wants Railroad
Mortgages FOreoIOsed.


WASHINGTON, Feb. Secretary Hoke
Smith, in a conference with the house
Pacific railroads committee yesterday,
advocated foreclosure of the govern
ment mortgage on the Pacific railroads
and a resale of the roads. He recon-
mended that congress pass an act for
freeing the lands granted the two COM
panies, reserying an exemption in favor
of bona fide purchasers from the rail
roads. If congress did not legisIate he
would revoke hissuspension and patent
the lands to the roads.
Concerning the granted lands of the
Union and Central Pacific companies,
the secretary recommended that in
stead of proceeding to patent these
lands to the roads, congress pass an act
of forfeiture which would exempt bona
fde purchasers Of lands from the rail
road companies and provide for patent
ing their lands to bona fide purchasers

TroubIes Laid TO Currenoy.

LONDON, Feb. 8.-Replying to Il de-
putation representating agricultural
interests, the first lord of the treasury,
Mr.. A. F. Balfour, yesterday informed
his visitors that the government was
preparing various measures for the re-
lief of the agricultural classes. Mr..
Balfour also stated that it was his per
sonal conviction that agriculture sUf-
fered doubly owing to the present con-
dition of the currency and expressed
his personal belief that the reduced
prices we're largely due to the artificial
appreciation of gold which followed the
decentralization of silver; and, secondly,
to the artificial advantage given the
producer in siIver-using countries over
the producer in gold-using countries.
Continuing. Mr.. Balfour said the OBJ
stacles to reform did not come from
abroad; they were to be found at home.
Therefore it was desirable to impress
upon the powerful interests opposing
it how much International and individual
prosperity was bound up in currency
reform.
