TREASURY PEOPLE NOT ALARMED
Believe the Financial situation VIII
Clear Itself.

Washington, July 2O.-The gold reserve
went below the $50, 900 mark for the
first time in many months, and the actual
figures are $S9,76l, 1886, a reduction of 49,
706, 800 for the day. OF the Withdrawals,
S3,000,000 was for export. The treasury
officials look upon this heavy gold drain
as entirely abnormal and are confident
that it will not continue. They say there
is nothing in trade circles to warrant ex-
ports, adding that, although exchange is
at point above the shipping standard,
the conditions are such as 10 make it un-
certain whether it can be profitable at
present. In the absence of Secretary
Carlisle, who Will not return to the city
from his jaunt down the bay until tonight
or until tomorrow, no one can speak au-
thoritatively respecting the probability OF
another issue of bonds to replenish the
reserve in the near future. but the gen
eral trend of opinion was that such
thing was not to be expected. The rumor
reached the treasury late in the day that
the New York banks had decided to come
to the relief of the department and
pledge themselves to maintain the re-
serve at the $l00,0O0,0OO point. There was
no official backing to this report, but Off
Gals profess to see other hopeful signs
even if this promise fails of realization.
Among them is the prospect that the de-
mand for money in the money in the west
will oblge New York banks to deposit
gold with the treasury in order TO obtain
the necessary paper. This will add ma
terially to the protection of the gold re-
serve.
The department has already accumulat-
ed in the general balance of S26l 6lS,3Sl 10
less than SSi, 0l6 of the old legal tender
notes and $780, ll4,0l9 in Sherman notes.
This leaves the whole amount of legal
tender notes outstanding of a kind that
can be used under the endless chain"
plan to draw out the treasury gold at
once $3i5 000, 900, and very much is actively
circulating in the course of daily trade
The national banks held of this total
$l47 100000. and so far as the treasury Off
Gals know they are not generally lend
ing themselves to the present raid AS to
other conditions the officials are satisfied
with the manner in which they have got
ten so far through the month of July.
This is always a trying month, the be-
ginning of the fiscal year letting loose a
lot of appropriations for miscellaneous
objects, as well as for rivers and harbors
and pensions. The payments on account
of the latter have amounted so far to
So S27, 900 this month, while the quarterly
interest charges on the 4 per cent bonds
and others have aggregated s6.479.0O0 The
total expenditures for the month have
reached $3l 11S.000, which leaves a deficit
of $12, O91. 294 but this is no more than was
expected while encouragement is found
in the fact that the receipts have av-
eraged we'll up to 100000 per diem.

THOUSAND WITHDRAWN.
New YorI. Finnnciers VIII Probably
Agree to Help Maintain the
Treasury Reserve.

New York, July 20-The Withdrawals OF
gold from the sub-treasury tor export 10
Germany aggregated S3,OSODO. The az
gregate Withdrawals amounted to 1oont
50, 100000, including $S50,OOO taken by Ca
madam banks and reduced the treasury
free gold to about 800 600, 900 The strength
of the exchange market and the prospect
of further heavy inroads upon the treas
ury stock of gold has resulted in num-
Der of informal conferences between
treasury and clearing house officials and
the officers of the national banks IN re-
gard to protective measures.
Today IT was rumored that President
Frederick w. Tappan of the Gallatin Ma
tional bank had received the signatures
of other bank officials to an agreement to
turn over to the sub-treasury $lO,OOOWO IN
gold in exchange for legal tender notes,
and that from $40, 900 900 to $l5,0O0,OOO addi-
tional will be secured. 1t was admitted
that the conference has taken place. but
the report of actual signatures to any
specific amount was denied. President ii.
W. Cannon, who, with President Tappan
and j. Edward Simmons of the Fourth
National bank, has been especially active
in the movement, said today: 1T can be
said today that if the treasury should
need gold, the New York banks would be
prepared to furnish a very considerable
amount. Nothing has been signed, now
ever. and undue excitement should be
deprecated, as the treasury holds new
$9O,OOOOOO in gold. Money is easy, and
there is no just reason for alarm"
Some of the Shippers.
New York, July 20.-Heldelbach, Ickel-
heimer & Co. have ordered $1,SS0,OO0, L..
Won Hoffman & Co. $5OO,O0O to be shipped
to Germany tomorrow. Won Hoffman &
Co. have increased their shipments to
$35OOOO gold. Lazard Freres have With
drawn $500 900 in gold bars from the assay
of IN oh 10
gagged for shipment tomorrow is $2SS0,0J0.
Knauth, Nachod & Kuhne engaged 100000
in gold for shipment to Germany tomor-
row.

SALE NEXT SATURDAY
y. p. WILL BE AUCTIoNED TO THE
HIGHEST BIDDER.
Suit at Milwaukee Developed Pleas
ant surprfse-Lawyer Earn
ing More Fat Fees.

Milwaukee, July 20.-The properties Of
the Northern Pacific railroad will be sold
next Saturday unless something decidedly
unexpected happens. All attorneys Of
the parties who have agreed upon the sale
came to Milwaukee this afternoon pre-
pared to fight motion for postponement,
but were greatly surprised when, after
argument had proceeded an hour or SO.
Joshua Stark, for compliments, stated
that no attempt would be made to inter
fere with the sale. This statement, made
in reply to a question put by Judge jon
kins, astOnished the attorneys. Francis
Lynde Stettson, attorney for j. p. Nor
gan & Co., said: 1--WE will be very glad if
the gentleman will tell us just what was
wanted at this time" Stark said all he
would ask was that the managers under
the reorganization law be enjoined from
proceeding with the distribution of bonds
as provided for by that plan. The unex-
pected change of front pleased the attor-
neys greatly. Among the prominent at
torneys present were Wheeler II. Peck
ham, H. o. Armour. M. S. Patton, Colonel
Silas Petit, Francis Lynde Stettson, Vic
tor Morawetz, William Nelson Cromwell.
Receivers BigeloW and McHenry were
present with George L. Miller as counsel.
Colonel Petit late this afternoon filed
an answer for the Northern Pacific COM
pany, denying the validity of the claim
presented by the petitioners. He read an
ainudNlt OF MIR. scott, controller OIL the
Northern Pacific, alleging that the parties
now complaining had been notified at the
time the bonds were issued that the
Northern Pacific company was without
the corporate power to guarantee the
bonds, and further that the Seattle com
pany was indebted to the Northern Pa
citic for $1,346,920 and that the Northern
Pacific company had obtained judgment
for this amount.
At this point Mr.. Peckham took part in
the proceedings by saying: THAT doesn't
affect u.s." meaning that the present ac-
ton brought is by the bondhclders.
=" affidavit also alleges this property
of the Seattle company was worth ssv
eral million dollars more than the bong
holders bid for it. AS a result of the puN
chase and the extingushing of the stock
Indebtedness, the affidavit alleges that the
bondholders were benefited by nearly s.,
100000. This statement amused Mr. Ar
mOur
Mr.. Stettson stated that, aside from Mr..
Petit Mr. Cromwell would speak for the
Adams company Mr.. Morawetz for j. p.
Morgan & Co., Mr.. Van Schaick for the
preferred stockholders, and he himself
would sum it in presenting the law 10 the
court. Mr.. Peckham will discharge this
duty for the compliments.

showers, many thousands of people gath
cred early today around the great arch
upon which the finishing touches are be-
ing placed, in the center of Monumental

started for Cleveland today at 1890. This
is McKinley's first trip from Canton since

as neighbors and fellow citizens. He is

Among the messages received by Nc
Kinley this morning was a letter from
the Young Mems Republican Club of
Omaha, saying:
Hon. william Mckinley, Canton: The
Young Mems Republican Club of Omaha
send greetings to the standard bearer Of
the republican party and gives him as
surance that the nomination of a cit
izen of Nebraska by the democrats will
in no way affect the loyalty and enthusi-
asm of the young republicans of Omaha.
This is a contest of principle and in this
contest we shall hight for the triumph
of William Mckinley who stands for
national honor and national prosperity.
The run from Canton to Cleveland was
made in a rain storm. AT each station
there were cheers for Mckinley as the
train stopped At Newberg, eight miles
from Cleveland the centennial committee
met the train and escorted Mckinley and
his wife into Cleveland. At the station
there were cries of There's our next
president" There was no formal dem
onstration. Governor and Mrs. McKin-
ley took a carriage for Chairman Han

OREGON IMPROVEMENT AFFAIRS
Suit for Foreclosure by First Mort
gage BondhoIders.

Seattle. Wash. July 2O.--In the United
States court in this city the first mort
gage bondholders of the oregon Improve
ment Company have brought suit Cor the
foreclosure of their mortgage and the APP
pontment of a receiver. Judge Hanford
ordered the new suit consolidated with
the suits already pending. which Were
brought ny the holders of the consoli-
dated bonds. rather by their trustee.
lie also gave an order appointing c. J.
Smith, the present receiver as receiver
under the new suit.
The immediate occasion of the new
foreclosure suit as set up in the bill Of
complaint is that a default of interesz .
on the first mortgage bonds took place
June !. Under the terms of first mort
sage this default rendered the company
liable to suit for foreclosure. 1t is un-
derstOod that the first mortgage bond
holders were not sorry of this opportu
nifty to place themselves in a position
where they have a voice in the reorgani-
cation of the company. If the other
bondholders should now refuse to ac-
cede to their terms, they will press their
foreclosure and the consolidated bond
holders will have to put up cash for the
first mortgage bonds.
