CHAPTER vIu-coxrnUxD.

There was a tattered man, fouled with
dust, blood and powder stain from hair
to shoes, who trudged quietly at the
youths side. He was listening with
eagerness and much humility to the
lurid descriptions of bearded ser
geant- His lean features wore an ex-
preston of awe and admiration He
was like listener in a country store
to wondrous tales told among the sugar
barrels He eyed the story-teller with
unspeakable wonder. His mouth was
a-gap in yokel fashion
The sergeant taking note of this gave
pause to his elaborate history while he
administered a sardonic comment BE
careful, honey, you'll be catching flies, i"
he said.
The tattered man shrank back
abashed.
After time he began to side near
to the youth and in difident way
tried to make him a friend. His voice
was gentle as a girls voice and his
eyes were pleading. The youth saw
with surprise that the soldier had two
wounds, one in the head, bound
with blood-soaked rag and the other
in the arm, making that member
bangle like broken Dough
After they had walked together for
some time, the tattered man mustered
sufficient courage to speak. WAS
pretty good fght~wasn't it?'' he timidly
said. The youth, deep in thought,
glanced up at the bloody and grim
figure with its lamb like eyes "What?'
''Was pretty good fight, wasn't it?'
'Yes," said the youth, shortly. He
quickened his pace.
But the other hobbled industriously
after him.
'Was pretty good fight, wasn't it?''
he persisted, in a small voice. And
then he achieved the fortitude to con-
tinue: "Dern me, If ever see fellers
fight so. Laws, how they did fight
knew the boys would lick when they
once got square at it. The boys amt
had no fair chance up to now, but, this
time, they showed what they was I
knew it would turn out this way. You
can't lick them boys. No sir. They're
fighters, they be-"
He breathed deep breath of humble
admiration.
His homely face was sufused with q
light OF love for the army which was TO
him all things beautiful and powerful
After a time, he turned to the youth
''Where you hit, old boy?- he asked in
brotherly tone.
The youth felt instant panic at this
question, although at first it's full inn
port was not borne in upon him
"'What?" he asked.
Where you hit?" repeated the tat
tered man.
''Why?- began the youth 81
that is-why-I-" :
He turned away suddenly and slid
through the crowd His brow was heav-
lily flushed, and his fingers were pick
ing nervously at one of his buttons
He Bonded his head and fastened his
eyes studiously upon the button as if
it were little problem
The tattered man looked after him

UNCLE SANS GOLD RESERVE.
Secretary Carlisle Says IL Never Has
Been Segregated.

Washington, Jan. 13.-Secretary Car
Isle to-day sent to the Senate a reply to
the resolution Of Jan. 3. asking If the
sum of 500. .Oo0O0O, or any part thereof. has
at any time since the establishment Of
the so-called gold reserve actually been
segregated or set apart from the other
currency or other money in the treasury,
in gold coin and certificates. etc" also.
when and how the gold reserve was estab-
lished.
The secretary says: 1.-THE Senate is re-
spectfully informed that at no time since
the establishment of the so-called gold
reserve has the sum of $l00O00,OO0 or any
other sum, been segregated, or set apart,
from the general cash in the treasury,
for the redemption of legal tender notes
of the United States, or for the redemp-
tiOn of any other form of paper money
for which the United States is liable. There
is no provisions of law requiring 8 sepa-
rate fund or separate account to be kept,
and all moneys received into the treasury,
from whatever source, are deposited in
the general cash.
THE fund for the redemption of United
States notes was constituted under au-
thority of the act OF Jan. a. 1874, which
directed the Secretary of the Treasury to
on the first day of January, 1873. No spe-
citic sum was prescribed, but the Secretary
of the Treasury was authorized to use
the surplus revenues from time to time
and to sell certain documents of bonds
TO an extent necessary TO carry the act
into full effect.
I'm the exercise of the discretion thus
conferred upon him, the secretary sold

deposited the proceed, S9G,00O,000 in gold
in the general cash In the treasury. This
with the other gold which had been re-
ceived as surplus revenue constituted the
fund prepared and provided by the Sec
retary of the Treasury for the redemp-
ton.
'"rhe existence of the reserve fund was
generally recognized from the time of its
establishment as above stated and one Of
the measures adopted by the Secretary Of
depletion was the discontinuance of the
issue of the gold certificates authorized
by the act of March 3, 1863. This act au-
thorized, but did not direct such issue
discOntinuance, and by section y of the
bank act of July II. 1882, the secretary was
authorized and directed to receive depos-
its of gold coin and bullion, and to issue
certificates therefor, but it was provided
that the Secretary of the Treasury shall
suspend the issue Of such gold certificates
whenever the amount of gold coin and
gold bullion in the treasury reserved for
the redemption of United States notes
falls below $100.0000 COO
mo other reference to the reserve fund
is contained in the laws Of the United
States.

ination as the partys candidate for pres

There seems to be a disposition to put
off the further organization OF the elect
i've officers of the body until the new
senators from Utah shall arrive. This af-
ternoons caucus was of short duration.
Mr.. Wolcott of Colorado made a short
speech and said that he spoke for himself
said, undertake TO be bound BY such
caucus action as the republicans might
take. Without their votes and that of
one of the populists, or the third party
senators refraining from voting, as they
did with respect to the committees the
republicans are powerless. Should the de-
fection of the two Colorado senator's be
permanent it does not then appear lust
now the republicans can reorganize the
Senate.
There was also feeling manifested bv
some senators after the caucus adjourned
1t was intimated that overtures had been
made certain republicans in the Way of
appointments if they would refrain from
urging a reorganization. Inasmuch as
the force of employees cannot be increased
without the concurrence Of the Senate
this proposition will probably be bitterly
antagonized by senators who are favor
mel of the elective officers and the men
under them.

SHUTS OUT THE RED CROSS.

Washington, Jan. 13.-The Turkish le-
CATION gave out this afternoon the fol-
lowing official communication: THE In
perial government will not permit any
distribution among his subjects, on his
own territory, by any foreign society or
individuals, however respectable the same
may be (as for instance the Red Cross
Society of money collected abroad. Such
influence no important government has
ever allowed, especially when the coll
lecuOnS are made on the strength or
speeches delivered in public meetings by
irrecOnciliable enemies of the Turkish
race and religion, and on the basis of
the false accusations that Turkey repu-
dates. Besides, the sublime porte is
mindful of the true interests of its sub
Jects, and, distinguishing between the real
state Of things and the calumnies and
wild exaggerationS of interested or fanat-
ical parties, will, as it has done hereto
fore, under its own legitimate means, al
leviate the wants of the Turkish sub
Jects living in her provinces, irrespective
of creed or race"

JONES MAY PLAY THE JEHU.
He Has the whip Hand of the senat,
Finance Committee.

Washington, Jan. 13.-When the Senate
adjourned this afternoon Chairman Nor
Till did not know whether there would
be a meeting of the finance committee
tomorrow or not, although it is the reg
ular meeting day. Mr.. Jones of Nevada,
on whose vote the republicans must rely
to get the tariff bill out Of the commit
tee, is quoted tonight as saying that he
will insist upon Is per cent. being added
to the sugar schedule to correspond with
the increases made by the House bill in
the other schedules. If he continues to
insist upon this 1t is not at all clear how
the republicans, who are tie with the
democrats on the committee can report
their bin without amendments in accord
ance with the instructions of the Senate
caucus.
1t is probable. too, that Mr.. Jones may
urge the putting of d free coinage rider
to the bill. He declines to say that he

COURTS IN A CLASH.
The state and Federal Bodies Again
Lock Horns in south Carolina.

Charleston, S. c., Jan. 13.-Another Inn
portant turn was made in the now famous
Palmetto Brewery case to-day. by Judge
W. c. Bennett of the state court filing an
order assuming jurisdiction and announc-
ing that he would appoint a receiver. II
will be remembered that Messrs, Wenzel
and Zurmster began an action against
President DOsher Of the brewery com
pany in December. A temporary injunc-
ton was granted by Judge Bennett and
notice was given that a receiver would
be applied for. Several days ago the Sc
curity Savings Bank went into the United
States court, alleging that the brewery
was insolvent and asked for a receiver on
the ground that certain mortgages were
Jeopardized by the troubles among the
stockholders. The United States court
took jurisdiction and A. +. c. Cramer was
appointed receiver. Judge Bust now SAYS
that the action was first begun in the
state courts, and that he has the right to
make his temporary injunction perma-
nent. He declares the brewery to be in
solvent and he says that he is satisfied
that many of the charges against Presi-
dent Dosher are true. These charges are
to the effect that he has violated tie
brewerys contract with the dispensary
stamps, and that he has been guilty of
other acts of a similar and reprehensible
nature. The case has attracted much in
terest here, and 1t is not known what will
be the outcome of the conflict between
the state and United States courts on the
jurisdiction matter.
