the reserve So. 6.02l. Nothing IS
known at the treasury department. so
far as can be learned. Of any concerted
movement by bankers TO protect the
reserve by making gold deposits, and
up to the hour of closing the statement
published yesterday that Zimmerman

York, had deposited 100000, had not
bean verified by Assistant Treasurer
Jordon. In fnct the only considerable
deposit during the last several weeks
was made yesterday by the Mercantile
National bank. which exchanged $500

LONDON, Jan. s,-The gravity of the
political crisis here is increasing In
stead of diminishing. The attitude OF
Emperor William toward Great Britain
In the matter of DR.. Iameson's free
booting expedition into the Transvaal,
upon closer study seems to have been
deliberate and carefully planned. The
Transyaal incident, Il would appear,
was only the pretext seized upon by the
emperor in order TO enter the field as
an active opponent OF Great Britain's
policy of aggrandi dizement In Africa. and
her little understanding with King
Prempeh. OF Ashanti. together with her
support OF Italyis warfare against ABB
yslnia, are believed to have been the
Irritating features which finally in-
duced his majesty TO show his hand.
OF course. this IL only q sample of the
rumots In circulation here, but It shows
the drift of the wind, and has served
to incense the British to such O degree
not wftne ssed since the war with Rus
sia was threatened some years ago.
TO make matters worse, II is now re-
ported that the Transvaai republic will
demand an indemnity OF s., 500. 600 from
Great Britain as one of the, results OF
Or. Ja1aeson,s invasion of the little
Dutch republic II this turns out to be
the case. no doubt viii be entertained
that Emperor William, in his recent in-
terviews with DR.. w. ]. Leyds, score
tary of state OF the Transyaal, prompt
ed this demand. and may also have an
nouncsd his Intention OF supporting It.
Under these circumstances, and in
view of the war preparations by land
and sea, now being vigorously pushed
by Great Britain, Il Is not astonishing
that there was an ominous drop in con-
sois, which, as much rs anything. Is a
clear Indication that the gravity OF the
political situation is not newspaper ex-
aggefation.
Dispatches from Berlin announce
that Emperor William had an iInpor-
tant conference this morning with DR..
Kayser, chief Of the German colonial
office, and that further dispatches have
been exchanged between Berlin and
Pretoria
The German emperor, it appears, had
planned to land force of Germann
at Delagoa Bay. In order TO assist the
Beers against the British. and only de-
sisted from SO doing when he learned
of Or. Jameson's defeat and capture.
This, II Is claimed. is proof that his
message to President Kruger, congrat-
uiating him upon his victory over the
British and his majesty's reported an
nouncement TO DR.. w. ]. Leyds that
Germany refused to recognize any
suzerainty over the Transvanl, were
well weighed moves and the result of a
prearranged policy.
Great Britain is evidently determined
not to be caught unprepared for war.
The report that orders have been sent
than for the immediate commissioning
of flying squadron of warships is
confirmed this afternoon and has caus-
ed profound impression in all circles.
