relief of the department, and pledge
themselves to maintain the reserve at
the S10o, 100000 point. There was no Off
cial backing to this report, but officials
profess to see other hopeful signs even
II this promise fails of realization.
Among them is the prospecN that the
demand for money in the west will
oblige the New York banks to deposit
gold with the treasury in order to OBJ
tain the necessary paper. This would
add materially to the protection of the
gold reserve. The department has al
ready accumulated in the general bal
ance of s26l, ,61S, 1888, no less than SS4, 1885,
ol6 of the old legal tender notes and
S35,l14,O ,O19 in Sherman notes. This leaves
the whole amount of legal tender notes
outstanding of kind that can be used
under the endless chain" plan, to draw
out the treasury gold at once, S345, ,O0O,-
o0o and very much of this is actively
circulating in the course of daily trade
The national banks held of this total
$147 100000, and so far as the treasury
officials know ley are not generally
lending themselves to the present raid
of the reserve.

the fact that the receipts have averaged

NEW YORK, July 20.-The withdraw

s3.0So,0O0, of which amount 81. $50. 900 was
in fine gold bars and 81, ,490, 900 in coin.
The aggregate Withdrawals amounted to
about $3,7O0,000. including $35O,OOO taken
by Canadian banks, and reduced the
treasury free gold to about 500, 1000 900.
The strength of the exchange market
and the prospect of further heavy in
roads upon the treasury stock of gold
mas resulted in a number of informal
conferences between treasury and clear
ing mouse officials and the officers of the
national banks in regard to protective
measures. Today it was rumored that
PRESIDENT Frederick w. Tappan of the
Gallatin National bank, had received
the signatures of other bank officials to
an agreement to turn over to the sub
treasury $10000,O0O in gold in exchange
for legal tender notes, and that from $40
O0O,O00 to $15,000,OOO additional will be
secured. 1t is admitted that the confer
ence has taken place, but the report of
actual signatures to any specific amount
were denied.
PRESIDENT w. H. Cannon. who. with
president Tappan and J. Edward Sim
mons of the Fourth National bank. has
peen especially active in the movement
and said. today:
IL can be said today that if the treas
ury should need gold, the New York
banks would be prepared to furnish a
very considerable amount. Nothing
mas been signed, however, and undue
excitement should be deprecated. as the
treasury holds now 100000, 900 of gold
Money is easy and there is no lust rea son

WASHINGTON, July 2o.-The gold
reserve went below the 100000, 900 mark

Associated Press Special Wire.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 2O.-The rail-
roads and steamship lines interested in
Oriental travel through the port of San
Francisco are havinH a conference this
week in the office of the Pacific Mail
company on Market street. The confer
ence may last three or four days. J. c.

the Southern Pacific; D. D. Stubbs, the

pany; r. p. Schwerin and Alexander

cock and E. L. Lomax, the Union Pa
Gifts, and w. P. Kniskern, the Chicago

general agent of all these companies
at Yokohama, is in attendance. The
lines mentioned above are experiencing
great competition for passenger busi-
ness across the Pacific ocean from the
Canadian Pacific steamers and those
running to and from Portland and Ia
coma. In addition, they have the for
midable competition of the Peninsular
and Oriental Steamship company
through the Suez canal. The conference
is held to devise ways and means of
holding the business they have now and
trying to increase it. 1t is believed they

FILLMORE'S NEW SYSTEM
SAN FRANCISCO, July 2O.-NIanager
j. A. Fillmore has decided to inaugurate
new system of disciplining the en-
ployes of the operating department of
the Southern Pacific company
The new system is to be one of disci-
pine by record, and debts and credits
will be entered against the names of
employees as the occasion requires. A
bad record will eventually result in the
employees dismissal. A good record, on
the other hand, marked with credits for
excellent conduct deeds of heroism and
loyalty, good judgment in emergencies,
ETC., will operate to the employees ad-
vantage. The company thus hopes that
the system will prove of great advan-
tage alike to the company and to en-
ployes and their families.
In the circulars issued today 1t is set
forth that the new system will be put
into effect on August 1st. Upon that
date all employees will be considered as
starting in with clear record AS oc-
casion requires an individual account
will be opened with each employe in
book kept for that purpose in the super
intendent's office. and reprimands or
credits will be noted on the records of
employees who may receive the same.
