THE bankers came to the relic

The bankers came to the relief
of the U. S. Treasury last week
and exchanged about $25,000,0O0
in gold for greenbacks, in order to
restore the diminishing hundred
million gold reserve. The banks
also stand together and make it
not profitable to the gold dealers to
send gold out of the country. The
action is one of great value in the
sound money cause.

THE NATIONAL DEFENSES
The Navy to Be Put on a War
Footing
All Ships Available to Be Put In Active
Service Within the Next
Three Weeks

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-The World says:
Naval officers on duty in this city and
Brooklyn declare that it is the intention of
the government to place the navy on as
complete war footing as is possible in
time of peace and demonstrate what the
United States can do in the way of COM
missioning, not q flying squadron, for
which the United States has no need at
this time, but coast defense feet
to guard our shores, both on the
Pacific and Atlantic. Commodore Mont
gomery Sicard, commandant of the Brook
lyn pavy yard, got orders last night to have
the new monitor Terror ready to go in
commission March 1. The ship has been
under construction for some time and it
will tax the capacity of the yard to finish
her in time. The orders are, however,
imperative.
The coast defense squadron. which the
government is about to place in commits
sion, will be composed of the new ram
Katahdin, now at the Brooklyn navy yard;
the double-turreted monitor Terror, also at
this station; the double.turrsted monitor
Miantonomah, which is to be pulled out of
the mud at League island navy yard, near
Philadelphia, and recommissioned; the
new monitor Monadnock, sister ship of the
Terror, nearing completion at the Mare
island navy yard. All the ships are to be
put in active service and furnished with Of
ficers and crews within the next three
weeks.
The other ships of this ironclad squadron
are to be the first-class battleship Indiana,
the second-class battleship Maine, now at
Hampton Roads, and the double turreted
monitor Amphitrite, now at Key West.

the rebels succeeded in carrying off their
wounded, the number of which is unknown.
Several prisoners were taken. The loss OF
the troops is insignificant. -
1t is also reported that the columns un-
der General Cornell. operating in combina-
ton with those under Generals Linares and
Altlecoa, are in pursuit of a numerous band
of insurgents near Artemisa, which is sup
posed to be Maceo's main force. This
band is said to be striving to effect juno
ton with Gomez, and it seems in fair way
to Go 80. as there is no apparent check in
its advance along the southern coast of
Pinar del Rio.
Further news awaited with lively in
terest, as it is belved that it will be proved
in very short time whether the efforts of
Maceo and Gomez to form junction will
prove successful.

Cable rattcr
New YORK, Feb. "A dispatch to the
World from London says:
The Times intimates that the situation
in the Transvaal is much more serious than
it appears on the surface. 1t calls atten-
ton to the fact that the appeals against
the Beers and the dispatches stating that
there is imminent danger cabled to it by

Mr.. Bayard, speaking as an ex-secretary
of state, says of the suggestion already
made in this correspondence Of the possi-
bility of great advantage OF such a course,
the sending Of United States man-of.war
to Delagoa bay or Cape Town with instruc-
tions to the captain or other officers in
command to proceed to Pretoria and watch
the proceedings in behalf of Hammond
and the other accused Americana, would
be entirely within the province of the presi-

sentative of the United States government

GERMANY'S DISCRIMINATION
Against United States Life Insurance
Companies
Is Likely to Give Rise to Retaliatory Meas
ures-State Insurance Commissions
ers Make Complaint

New YORK, Feb. 3.-The resolution cali
ing on the president for all the correspond
ence between the United States and Cor
many regarding the exclusion of American
life insurance companies from Germany,
which has just passed the house, is said to
be move toward retaliation toward Ger
many. Representative George N. South
wick of Albany, father of the resolution,
gives the following explanation of its pur-
pose:
"President Cleveland in his last annual
message to congress called attention to
the policy of retaliation which was being
practiced in Germany against American
life insurance companies, as well as
American cattle and cereals, and also
suggested retaliation on the part of the
United States if course could be de-
vised. The New York senate and assem-
bly, of the legislature has passed meas
ure which provides that all foreign insu-
rance companies shall be denied any and
every privilege in the transaction of busi-
ness within the state which is not accorded
to American companies in the home states
of these corporations.
1.-THE German policy of retaliation
against American life insurance companies
has thus far been confined to Prussia.
Until recently four of the big New York
companies had been transacting business
in that portion of the German empire.
Only one still continues operations.
''Governor Morton and Insurance Super
intendent Pierce of New York have written
Secretary Olney in reference to the retalia-
ton practiced against American insurance
interests in Prussia. The Massachusetts,
commissioner of insurance has also sent
an emphatic note of protest to Secretary
Olney against the harsh policy adopted by
the Prussian ministry.
1.-THE state department instructed Am
bassador Runyon to take cognizance of the
matter, and he had been in communication
with the Berlin government prior TO his

that the Central American governments of
Guatemala, Nicaragua, Salvador, Hondu-
ras and Costa Rica have accepted the invi-
tation to join in convention of American

forwarded direct and it is expected that the
answer will be sent through the United

is to have the convention held at Washing

@. A. R. TICKETS
A ThIrty-Day Limit Refused by Chairman
Caldwell

ThIrty-Day Limit Refused by Chairman
Caldwell
CHICAGO, Feb. 3.-Chairman Caldwell, of
the Western Passenger association, has
refused the application of the Great West
crn to make 3O-day limit on its tickets
for the G. A. II. encswpment at st. Paul.
The denial of the request was a foregone
conclusion, the road making it SO
that it would be able to appeal from
the decision of the chairman and make
the extension in accordance with the
provisions OF the association agreement,
no matter what the other lines in the asso-
citation may do. 1t will now give formal
notice of its intention, and il the encamp-
ment is held at St. Paul it will put the
tickets on the market. No other road in
the association will make the extension, at
least NOT at present. They seem inclined
to let the matter drift without action of
any kind until after the next meeting
of the committee of the G. A. R., which
will be held February Goth. A meeting OF
the lines interested in Colorado business
was held today the Denver and Rio Grande
being represented. The meeting was in
formal in its nature. and the old difficulty
over Utah business, which has made 80

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-The announce
ment from Gen. Harrison that he will not
be a candidate for the nomination for
president did not cause great surprise here,
for it had been openly stated in Washing
ton that the announcement of his engage
menr to Mrs. Dimmick would be
followed by statement declining
to permit his name to go before the
