BROKERS ARE nEAPING A HARVEST
Drawing Gold from the Treasury for
Bond purcIasers.

BOND Purchasers.
NEW YORK, Feb. 10-An incident at
tending the activity in the subtreasury pre-
cincts today, on account of the rush of bid
ders for the new government bonds wishing
to make deposits of gold, was a somewhat
brisk verbal encounter between Assistant
Treasurer Conrad N. Jordan and Mr.. Zim-
norman of the bullion brokerage firm of
Zimmerman & Forshay. The subtreasury
was the scene of a busy throng Of brokers'
bankers clerks messengers and newspaper
men when Mr.. Zimmerman, turning to
customer of his who was in the line of de-
positors for bonds, pointed to a number of
bags of gold which were lying on the floor
Of the subtreasury and remarked:
There is your gold, delivered according
to contract"
Mr. Zimmerman had three times previously
today obtained gold at the subtreasury on
presentation of greenbacks and delivered the
same to his customers. On the fourth oc-
casion, however, Mr.. Jordan intervened and
refused to accept the gold which was carried
away at the expense Of the broker. Mr.. Zim-
norman demanded the reason of the refusal
to accept the gold and Mr.. Jordan made
the point that while any principal or repre-
sentative of a principal could not be pre-
vented from drawing gold on presentation
OF greenbacks, the government buildings
could not be utilized for the delivery of gold
by brokers to their customers. 1t should be
remarked that no exception would have been
taken had the gold been taken away and
brought back afterward by the purchaser
The affair created no little excitement at the
time.

GOLD pOuRs INTO THE TREAsuRY
Bond Buyers Keep the Clerks Busy
Counting II.


NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-Subtreasury officials
were busily engaged up to a late hour tonight
receiving gold on deposit in payments of in
stallments on the new government bonds by
individuals and representatives and employees
Of banks and institutions. In fact the facili-
ties of the department were overtaxed and
the total amount credited to bond buyers was
not reached until o'clock. There were
thirty-four deposltors The officials did not
assume to furnish ofic al data and the total
figured out $S,749,5 ,524. The greater part of
this sum was represented by the turning over
to the subtreasury Of checks for gold de-
posted at the assay office and receipts for
gold previously deposited at the subtreasury
for examination. The deposits at the assay
office amounted TO $4,000 in gold bars and
these figure in the grand total. The figures
of fresh gold deposited today for examination
at the subtreasury were not available The
Withdrawals footed up about 81 100000 in
coin.
The news Of the appointment Of q number
Of government repositories for the funds was
hailed with considerable satisfaction by the
street as this step viii go n great way to-
ward ayerting extreme disturbance Of the
money market. These repositories will re-
celve gold direct from bidders for bonds and

WHERE DEVELOPMENT WORK PAYS
Black Hills Mine that Keeps Up "a
Great Record.

HILL CITY, S. d., Feb. 1O.-(special.-
The Dalcode claim, one of the Tea Mining
companys mines, upon which quartz of ex-
ceptional richness was first found two months
ago, has kept up its phenomenal record to a
depth OF sixty feet The ledge contains a
narrow seam of quartz which runs as high
as $4,000 per ton. The richest samples ever
found in the Black Hills are being taken
out almost daily. A lump of quartz found a
day or two since is estimated to contain
over 500 in free gold. Development to the
present depth has been paid entirely from
the proceeds of two mill runs made at the
II. r." Custom mill, $l,7OO having been
secured in sinking the shaft to its present
depth. The southern Black Hills may fairly
claim this advantage over Cripple Creek:
It's a poor mans country" and investors
may reasonably hope to pay the cost Of de-
yelopng their purchases from the mines as
work proceeds.

All the Preparations Completed for
His Execution,

His Execution.
DANNEMORE, N Y, Feb. 10.-Skepticism
pervaded the group of twenty or more news
paper men and physicians who are gathered
here tonight; it pervades the prison also and
the officers, while they have made every
preparation usually made for the death of a
condemned criminal feel the effects of the
skeptical atmosphere. Even bartholomew
Shea, condemned to die before the noon hour
tomorrow, is a trlne buoyed up by the same
FEELING that something may intervene to save
his life. 1t is not skepticism born of hope,
but rather of precedent, for Shea has said
his goodbyes to his friends, apparently ac-
cepting the word of all those surrounding
him that this is the end. The prison officers
have completed every arrangement. the wit
nesses are on the ground, the warden has told
Shea that there is no possible hope for him,
the hour of the execution has been set, and
yet before everybody here looms up the sig
nifcant fact that Shea four different times
has been equally as far beneath the shadow
of death and the yawning arms of the cleo
trio chair, and have seen the victim snatched
from them, just so many times. Will this
fifth preparation for death be final is the
question that agtates all here. Compared
with the preparation for other executions
this is little or no different.
During a lapse Of two years since the COM
mission of Shea's crime the fight of his at
torneys to save their client has been unceas-
ing and so clever as to challenge admiration,
while the prosecution has been equally bril-
liant The sensational episodes that have
marked the case since the commission of the
crime and down to the day of the execu-
tion will not be lacking tomorrow. 1t is a
singular fact that Shea will be executed by
his friends Warden Thayer, who read the
death warrant to him tonight, has known
him from boyhoo1, living in the same city
with him. Deputy Warden McKenna, who
will lead the procession Of death as a guard
to the prisoner, is also from Troy and knew
the convicted man we'll.

JUsTIFYING ENGBAND's REFUSAL.
Previous Unfortunate Experiences in
TINT Line.

LONDON, Feb. 10.-A dispatch from Wash
ington to the Times says: The United States
government has strongly and repeatedly ad-
vised the Venezuelan government to settle
Engand's demand for an Indemnity for the
Uruan affair. Further, although America
insists upon the arbitration of the boundary
question: she has no interest whatever in
the result OF the arbitration and would be
quite satisfied IL all Englands claims were
confirmed.
The Times has an editorial which aims to
justify England's refusal to assent to the
arbitration of the whole of the disputed terri
tory between Venezuela and Guiana on the
ground of her previous unfortunate expert
enoes in arbitration and of the fact that
America in the Geneva arbitration set a
precedent by placing a limitation on the
matters to be arbtrated. The Times ex-
presses the hope that the radical leaders in
Parliament will not compromise the coun-
try's interests by attacking the government
for its refusal to enter into unlimited arbi-
tration.
Clement r. Markham. F. r. s., president
of the Royal Geographical society has an
other column letter in the Times this mcrn-
ing on the historical aspects of the Ven
ezuelan dispute. George Demawig, an attor-
ney of Philadelphia, and an anonymous corre-
spondent at Montgomery, Ala, also have
column letters in the same paper on the
American feeling toward the Venezuelan dis
pute and the Monroe doctrine.
The Chronicle says Sir Frederick Pollock
Corpus, professor of Jurisprudence in the
University of Oxford, who was entrusted by
the government with the preparation Of the
British boundary dispute case has COM
p,eted the Venezuela blue book, and that 1t
will probably be presented to Parliament
within ten days. 1t is understood, says the
Chronicle, that the government will make
an important statement tonight
The Chronicle reprints at great length
this morning, for the benefit of Parliament,
the replies received from leading prelates,
writer's and politicians in favor of its sug
gestion for national petition to Parliament
for the establishment of permanent tri-
bunal of arbitration.
The Times says 1t is improbable that Sir
William Vernon Harcourt, liberal leader in
Parliament, will move any amendment to
the address.
The Daily News, the liberal organ, on the
other hand says: "Unless some statement
is made the liberals VIII press the govern
ment. probably tonight, for information on
the Venezuelan affair, as a strong desire
exists to meet the wishes of America
There are hints. however, that although the
radicals favor unlimited arbitration, the lib
eral leaders are bound by their own record
and are unlikely to press this view.'

MURDERED WITH A FIRE SHOVEL

Professor in Deaf Institute Found
Dead in His Room.
NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-What appears to
have been cold booded murder was COM
mitted today in the Institution for the I'M
proved Instruction of Deaf Mutes. The vic
tim was Prof. NJ. e. Glau, 6S years old,
an instructor in drawing. The body was
found in the studio of the professor, on
the fourth floor Of the institution There
were number of horrible gashes on the
back Of the head, and near the body was
fund bloody iron shovel with which the mur-
derer evidently struck down his victim.
No apparent motive for the crime was dis
covered. When the professors clothing was
searched his gold watch and chain were
found intact, 60 cents in change, bunch of
keys, pipe and match box were also
found in his pockets. 1t was said by Su
perintendent Green of the institution that
he did not know the professor had an enemy
in the building, and, for that matter, in
the world. He said he was a man who
kept well to himself, and after his business
had been transacted at the institution he
left, and had but few words with anybody.
He said the professor had been with the
institution a number of years, and that his
methods and work were everything that
was satisfactory.
If the murder was not committed by
person who had free access to the institu-
tion, the attaches are puzzled to know
how any person could get into the place
without being seen. There are but two
entrances to the place, and these are in
the front Of the building The upstairs
doors are always locked, and at the base
ment door, which is the usual way the
building is entered, there is always an at
tendant, and 1t would have been impossible
for a person to have gained an entrance
in that way without discovery. No one in
the building was found who had seen any
strange person enter during the afternoon.
All the windows We're examined and no
cew was found. The entire absence of
motive is puzzling the police, and SO far
as known they have not a single cew on

some extent the consolidated mortgage bonds
have been defaulted regularly since the re-

failed to pay the sinking fund charges to
