1t Has Again Dropped Below
the Ninety Million Mark.
THE SMALLEST IN MONTHS
But Treasury Officials Take a
Hopeful View of It.
NEW YORK GOLD MEN ALARMED
Fearing Its Effect Upon the Coming
Election They Pledge Themselves
to Maintain the Reserve at
SIoO,ooo,Ooo.

Washington, July 20.--The gold re-
serve went below the ninety million
mark to-day for the first time in many
months, and at the close of business
the actual figure was $89, ,761, 1886, a re-
duction of $3,706, 300 for the day. Of
the Withdrawals S3,033, 900 was for ex-
port.
Treasury officials look upon this
heavy golden drain as entirely abnor-
nal and are confident that it will not
last, at least so heavily. In the alb
sence of Secretary Carlisle, who will
not return to the city from his jaunt
down the bay until tonight or to-
morrow morning, no one can speak
authoritatively respecting the proba-
bility of another issue of bonds to re-
plenish the reserve in the near future,
but the general trend of opinion was
that such thing was not to be eX-
pected.
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 themselvs to
maintain the reserve at the 100000 900
point. There was no official backing
to this report, but officials profess to
see other hopeful signs even If this
promise fails of realization.
The officials are satisfied with the
manner in which they have gotten so
far through the month of July. This
is always a trying month, the begin
ming of the fiscal year, letting a lot
of appropriations for miscellaneous
objects as well as for rivers and harbors
| and pensions. The payments on ac-
count of the latter have amounted so
far TO S9.S27 900 this month, while the
quarterly interest charges on the four
per cent bonds and others have aggre-
| gated S6, ,479, 900. The total expendi-
| lures for the month have reached S31.-
118,000, which leaves a deficit of S12,-
091 ,e94.

TO REPLENISH GOLD RESERVE.
New York Bankers Ready to Exchange
Gold for Legal Tender Notes.

New York, July 20.-The withdraw
ais of gold from the sub-Treasury to-
day for export tomorrow to Germany
aggregated $3,030,000, of which amount
S1,5OO,00O was in fine gold bars and
81, 1,48O,0O0 in coin. The aggregate with
drawals amounted to about So, zoe. 900,
including $350,000, taken by Canadian
banks and reduced the Treasury free
gold to about S90,00O,000 The strength
of the exchange market and the pros
pect of further heavy inroads upon the
Treasury stock of gold, has resulted
in a number of informal conferences
between Treasury and Clearing House
officials and the officers of the Nation
al banks in regard to the protective
measures.
To-day it was rumored that Presi-
dent Frederick w. Tappen, of the Gal
latin National bank had secured the
signatures of other bank officials to
an agreement to turn over to the sub
Treasury $1O,000,000 in gold in ex-
change for legal tender notes and that
from $10,000,000 to $15,O0O,00O addi-
tiOnal would be secured. It was adj
mitted that the conference has taken
place, but the report of the actual sig
nature to any specific amount was
denied. President II. w. Cannon, who.
with President Tappen and j. Edward
Simmons, of the Fourth National, have
heen especially active in the movement,
said to-day;
ut can be said that if the Treasury
should need gold, the New York banks
would be prepared to furnish a very
considerable amount. Nothing has
been signed, however, and undue ex-
citement should be deprecated, as the
Treasury now holds $00,0O0,0OO of gold.
Money is easy and there is no just rea-
son for alarm"

A PERFECT DELUGE OF MAIL.
Bryan Can Never Answer All the Let
ters He Is Receiving.

Lincoln, Neb., July 20.-Each day
the pile of letters at the home of w.
J. Bryan increases in size. Instead
of catching up with the correspond
ence, the Democratic Presidential
nominee gets further behind. More
letters come in each day than he, his
wife and his secretary can open and
read. A local politician said that the
National committee should supply
Bryan with a corps of clerks and some
competent men to attend to his work
so that the candidate can work upon
his letter of acceptance.
"Some of these letters" he said,
might be of vast importance and
should be attended to at once. In the
thousands of letters and kilograms
there might be one from Cleveland
Hill, or some prominent Democrat
that should be attended to imme-
diately"
In order to let the people who have
written to him know the condition
of affairs, Mr.. Bryan to-day gave out
the following signed statement:
Lincoln, Neb., July 20, 1896
"To the Public:
"My daily mail has grown so large
that | find it impossible to read all
letters received, and still more impos-
sible to reply at length to them. Those

St Louis, Mo-, July 20.-(Special.) -
The North Carolina delegation has
Headquarters at the st. James. Senator
Butler stops at the Lindell and met
the delegation at the train this after
noon. He is saying nothing tonight
/ listened at supper tonight to an
interesting conversation between two
South Dakota and two North Carolina
Populists. Both the South Dakota men
had been Republicans, while the North
Carolinians had been Democrats. The
South Dakota men were for Bryan.
Ninety per cent of the Populists
in the northwest will vote for Bryan
whether this convention endorses
him or not We are for silver and I'M
less silver wins this year we are DOOM
ed to wait for it long time, SAID the
South Dakotans.
The Populists who oppose joint
action now are believing all his prom
ises and are playing directly into Nc
Kinley's hand. The North Carolinians
tried to combat this idea, saying they
had rather wait than get silver through
the Democrats.
One South Dakota man said: 'Ies,
L understand you have been fuslng
with the Republicans in North Caro-
lima and that accounts for your peculiar
position.
Nearly all the Populist editors here
are opposed 10 endorsing Bryan.
asked a Populist Congressman how he
accounted for their attitude. Mark
Hanna's check book would offer the
best explanation, was his reply.
Middie-of-the-road men and those
who favor endorsing Bryan talk very
roughly about one another.
This afternoon a loud-talking man was
arguing against endorsement; when
his noise was at its height an Oklahoma
delegate shouted out, Every man that
talks that way is either gold-bug 1T
disguise or in the employ of Mark
Hanna. No man who is not gold-bus
talks that way.
The Post-Dispatch says it has traced
the agents of Mark Hanna here who arr
using money. They say that there
will be ticket, even If it has to b'
done by bolting. 1t is charged that i
some instances free passes were fur
nished on condition that the users
would vote for a ticket. Jerry Simp
son says if this convention should re
fuse to endorse Bryan the Populls
party would not contain corporal;
guard in November.

THE FIGHT is A WARM ONE.
And Whatever be the Result a Bolt is
Almost Certain.

St. Louis, Mo-, July 2o.-The Popu-
list situation does not crystalize. The
leaders are at war over the question of
endorsing or nominating Bryan.
Some. like ex-Governor Lewelling,
Senator Allen: of Nebraska; Gen. James
B. Weaver of Iowa, who was the Popu-
list candidate for President in 1892;
Capt. Reuben KOlb, of Alabama, who
claims he was twice defrauded of the
Governoship of his State; big-lunged
Tom Patterson and Governor Waite, of
Colorado, are earnestly striving for an
endorsement of the Chicago ticket.
Chairman Taubeneck, Ignatius Dom
nelly, of Minnesota; Senator Butler, OF
North Carolina: eX-Governor Buch-
anan, of Tennessee; Gen. Coxey, of
Ohio want to endorse Bryan under
terms laid down by them. While
Cyclone" Davis, of Texas; Paul Van
dervoort, of Nebraska; Col. Frank
Burkett. of Mississippi, and others
want to keep in the middle of the road
and nominate an independent ticket
on an independent platform.
Each faction asserts that it desires
to preserve the autonomy of the party
organization and that its way is the
way. Shipwrecked hopes and bolt
seem inevitable, no matter. what the
ultimate outcome is.
The Bryan supporters claim to be
in the majority. They are well organ
lied. Their leaders are shrewd and
sagacious, many of them experienced
politicians. In addition to this they
have the open and decisive support OF
the silver party leaders, whose con-
vention is likely to be simply Bryan
ratification meeting, and of Senator
Jones, chairman Of the Democratic
National committee, who is here with
his lieutenants striving to this end.
Their strength spreads over the en-
tire country west Of the Missouri,
where the cause Of silver is paramount.
Many of the delegates from this sec
tion, like Lewelling, of Kansas, and
Patterson, of Colorado. declare that if
Bryan is not nominated or endorsed
here nine-tenths Of the Populists will
support him and the identity of the
Populist party in the West viii be de-
stroyed.
The "middle-of- the-road' Populists
are mostly from the South, where for
several years, they say, it has been war
to the knife and knife to the hilt in
their battle with the Democracy, and
they have nailed their banner to the
mast. They will have neither surren-
der nor fusion. They have captured

the country as the nominee of the Pop
ufist party. The letter was composed
and dispatched while the delegation
was waiting for its train to st. Louis,
DR.. G. w. Daywalt, of San Francisco,
being chosen secretary, and instructed
to write it. The letter says in part:
''If you viii accept the nomination
of the Peoples party, declaring your
self a Populist, you will become a lead
er to whom will rush every reformer-
be he silverite, Democrat or Republi-
can-and not only be elected yourself,
but also elect Congress, the law-mak

your life, take advantage Of it, and you
will, like Lincoln with the Republi-
cans, send your name down to history
as the saviour OF your country by
means of Populism.

defense of our principle, put another
nominee in the field. Can you then be
elected?"

Champion who was sitting down raised
up just as the shot was fired placing
himself between Strother and the win
