B% A correspondent of the New
York Sun contends that the govern
ment's estimate that there is $500, ,000,-
900 of gold coin in circulation is too
high. He states that this estimate
makes no allowance for the millions of
gold coin known to have been taken
out of the country every year by for
eign workmen, and then he goes on to
say:
"According to an estimate by The
Herald some years ago, immigrants
returning to Europe take away about
$25, 900, 900 yearly. Besides these, we
have fully 100000 Chinese and Cana,
dian laborers who must absorb fully
100000 more every year. The
money which these people send away
in the form of drafts and postal orders
can easily be traced but there is no
way to find out how much they take
away on their persons. The Chinese
take more silver, while the white
aliens prefer gold.
"At least $4,000 of the Canadian
workmen cross the border every day,
and when they get paid they take
every cent of their earnings back home
with them. They have been doing
this for the last 25 years; and if we
add to the vast amount they must have
absorbed in this way the millions that
other alien workmen have carried off
on their persons, it is quite evident
that there cannot possibly be anything
like S30O,O00,O0O in circulation at
present.
"Another leakage that the govern
ment's estimate ignores is the gold
paid for smuggled goods. How much
goes in this way it is hard to deter
mine; but there can be no doubt that
since 1872 we have lost great many
millions that do not appear in the
custom house reports"

tY"The name of the organization shall

"The Southern States pledge them
selves to provide exhibits from their

free of cost ut the exposition building

stall the same in said building under

an invitation was issued by him to the

TILLMAN WANTS TO INVESTIGATE.
SIN the South, when the charge is made
against an official or any other man
that he has done anything that is cor
rupt, he himself always demands an
investigation. Wien he declines to
demand an investigation it is usually
considered that be is guilty."
The speaker was Senator Ben Till
man, of South Carolina. The above
was stated in response to my inquiry
as to what would be done with the
resolution to investigate the recent
bond issues.
"You see," he continued, ~ tried to
pin Hill down when he talked until 2
o'clock to prevent vote on this reso-
luton of investigation, which will be
called up again in day or two by a
majority vote ofthe senate, and I think
we can pass it. do not know whether
any stealing has been going on, but
the country certainly ought to know
why it was that a large number of
bonds were sold for 1044 when they
were selling on the open market for
116."

and with a satirical smile he bowed and

Mr.. Barnes told Mr.. Van Rawlston
that it would be useless for him to re-
main longer and that he would depart.
He did not do 80, however, until he had
assured himself that Mr.. Mitchell was
not in the house. He went to the door
and found that the boy who had been

At ForEy-second street he took the
elevated road, and in go minutes he
was at his Office. Here he found the spy

"Well." said he angrily, "what are
you doing here?"
