Only Beer Is Sold on Ellis Island.

Commissioner General Stump of the
immigration bureau has sent letter to
Mr. A. n. Hanna, secretary of the Chris
tan Endeavor Union of Bel Air, Md,
in which he replies to the resolutions re-
Gently adopted by the union protesting
against the continuance of the six sa-
looms" in operation on Ellis island and
stating that the efforts of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union to help
immigrants landing there have been
antagonized and frustrated by them.
In his letter Mr.. Stump says that there
is no water on Ellis island except els
tern water, which becomes brackish;
that the soft drinks for sale. such as
ginger ale, soda, etc, were distasteful
to immigrants; that most of them were
accustomed to the use of beer and light
wines as part of their daily nourish-
ment. and that it was thought that the
granting of the privilege of selling beer,
if properly guarded would result bene-
ficiaIIy. There are no saloons" on Ell
lis island; that no spirttuous liquors are
allowed to be sold, and beer only under
strict regulations. He invites members
of the union to visit Ellis island and
make an investigation, and if any abuse
of the privilege of selling beer is found,
or If it be shown that it is prejudicial
to the cause of temperance it will be
revoked Post.

ANOTHER ISSUE, PERHAPS.

Officials of the Government are
fearful that as the subsequent pay
ments on the bonds become due
this tendency to make the Govern
ment furnish its own gold will be-
come more pronounced. Only pride
and sentiment stand in the way of
working the endless chain, and bond
spectators are not likely to let a
little thing like that deter them,
especially if gold continues at a
premium of a fraction of a cent on
dollar. AS was published In these
dispatches a few weeks ago, before
the public sale of bonds had been
decided upon, the president and the
officials of his administration be-
heved the only safe and prudent
way to replenish the reserve ways to
sell bonds to a syndicate which
would undertake to get all its gold
from private sources or from
Europe. If this experiment of a
public sale does not result any
better than it is now promises, the
probabilities are than another issue
of bonds will become necessary be-
fore fall, and that it will be put out
through syndicate.

"WlRY' FINANClERING.
Gold Going Out at One Subtreasury
Window and Going In at
Another.

Washington, Feb. 22.-Treasury
officials are now worried, lest the
recent gold loan result in failure af-
ter all, so far as the main object in
view is concerned, that being, of
course, to build up the gold reserve
and to keep it built up to what is
called the safety point. The loan
was great success in number of
bidders and amounts offered, but
the terms under which it was is
sued are not believed to be likely to
bring about permanent results. The
bonds are to be paid for in INSTALL
ments. The successful bidders are
under no obligations to get their
gold from abroad or even from the
vaults of the banks and other f.
nancial institutions in this country.
They may draw it from the sub
treasures, if they like, without
hindrance. The Secretary of the
Treasury is powerless to stop them,
because he has accepted the bids
and allotted the bonds. Treasury
officials are fearful that the second
and subsequent payment will be in
large part drawn from the govern
ment. At the New York subtreas-
ury a few days ago the curious
spectacle was witnessed of a gold
broker drawing the precious metal
at one window, dividing it among
his customess in the building, and
these customers then presenting it
at another window in exchange for
bonds. In other words, Uncle Sam
had to undergo the experience of
having gold taken from one pocket
in order that it might be put back
in another.
