GOLD A DRUG ON THE MARKET.
MEN WHO boarded 1T TRYING TO
GET RID OF II.

The sub-Trcasury at New York Re-
fuses to Exchange Greenbacks For
It-NntiOnaI Banks VIII Receive
1t on Deposit OnIy-The Yellow
Metal Pouring Into Sub-Treasur-
les All Over the Country.
New York, Nov. 5.-The SUBJ treasury is
still refusing to receive deposits of hoard
ed gold, as the working force is engaged
in counting the silver deposits which ac-
cumulated tho week preceding the cleo
ton. The hoarders of gold are showing
more anxiety to get rid Of the metal in
exchange for greenbacks. Banks to-day
reported the receipts of large amounts.
In every case so far as the national and
state banks are concerned, the gold was
taken on deposit only and greenbacks for
1t were refused even to old deposltors. A
number OF the local banks were notified
by their out-of-town correspondents of
shipments of the metal and a number of
consignments from western and southern
financial institutions.
Washington, Nov. 5.-More gold Is pour
ing into several of the sub-treasury off,
ces than the offices have storage capacity
for or have legal tender currency to give
in exchange. This is notably the case in
Boston. This gold has been brought out
of safe deposit vaults by the owners, who
have been paying storage charges upon it.
Baltimore and New York also had large
deposits of gold but how much was de-
posted at New York could not be stated
at the treasury, as the usual daily tele-
grams had not been received when the de-
partment closed. Nothing had been heard
from western points. In respect to gold
deposits, the treasury sent out this letter
to-day to the nine assistant treasurers:
Treasury Department, Office Of the
Treasurer Washington, d. c., Nov 5. 1896
Assistant Treasurer United States,
Sir: Referring to the instructions com
municated to you by my letter of Nov 49,
1885, authorizing you to receive gold coin
In exchange for paper currency j have to
say that the department desires to be in
formed in advance of any large transac-
tions in order that steps may be taken to
accommodate the depositors if the stock of
notes and silver certificates available in
the cash of this office will admit of the
exchange being made. The payment Of ex-
press charges by the government on re-
mittances of gold to the Offices of the
treasury and on the currency therefor will
be discontinued. Gold coin below the least
current weight will be received, as hereto
fore, in exchange for paper currency, under
the regulations now in force. Respectfully
yours, d. N. Morgan,
Treasurer United States.

he Is six months old and then invariably
sickens, and in large majority OF cases
dies. Then trouble probably rests in the
diet. Frogs, as a rule live on Insects.
They prefer them alive, but when hungry
will eat them even when dead. When 1t
has been possible to feed them on flies
they have always prospered. But need
less to say, 1t Is a practical impossibihty
to furnish enough flies and other live in
sects to supply the demands of their MIN
BILE tongues and voracious appetites, and
therefore the frog farmer is compelled 10
use meat as food. The result IS death, to
such an extent as to make all frog cul-
ture a financial failure. Experience has
shown that out of 100 artihcially raised,

old.
There have been many attempts at
raising frogs for the market, and many
are going on to-day. Thus far none have
been altogether successful. Seth Green,
the great authority on such matters once
tried it on a large scale at Canandaigua.
He had no trouble in Matching hundreds OF
thousands, If not millions, Of tadpoles, ana
even less trouble in raising them until they
were five months old. Then they began
to sicken and die. The mortality increased
until at the end of the year the number
which were left was as inconsderable as
to be not worth mentioning. A great deal
of work Is still being done. Frogs are,

TWO KILLED Al ATLANTA.
a Boiler ExpIOdes in the Southern
Railways Yards.

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 5.-Engine No. 10S OF
the Southern railroad, exploded with ter
rible force shortly before midnight last
night, in the Southern yards, leaving
death and destruction in its wake
William Mann and Abe Goss, employees
at the shops, were killed instantly, and a
negro named Jim Rodgers was seriously
injured. He is the only living witness to
the fearful accident.
The engine came in yesterday morning
from Chattanooga, and was being cleaned
and oiled by Mann and Goss for another
trip this morning. 1t had just left the
shops a few days before, and was thought
to be in the very best possible condition.
No details of the cause may ever be
known. The only two men who could tell
the story were killed instantly, and prob
ably themselves died without realizing
that the tons of iron which they had been
working on had been scattered INFO a
thousand fragments.
Mann was on the top of the cab when
he met death. Goss was oilng the engine
from the ground. Mann's body was blown
nearly a quarter of mile. The noise made
by it's fall in the yard of a negro house
awoke the occupants
The mangled body of Goss was blown
across the yards and underneath dead"
engine.
Rodgers, who was some distance away,
was knocked down by the combined force
of the shock and flying iron missiles.
The wrecked engine hardly left enough
of itself to find. The tender was hurled
some distance down the track, speeding
over and over like a ball 1t finally drop
ned into the nit al the turn table
The car shed was badly damaged, and
two engines near had their cabs and
smokestacks demolished. Not a window
pane is left anywhere around. Master Me-
chanic Tracy does not attempt to assign
any reason for the explosion. 1t might
have been caused, he said, by one of the
men turning cold water into the empty
boiler, or might have been due to one of
those curious freaks of an engine some
times in the best possible condition.

GEN. LEES RETURN.
He Refuses to Talk AbOut the Cuban
Situation

New York, Nov. 5.-Gen. Fitzhugh Lee
accompanied by Thomas Jones, his priv,
ate secretary. arrived from Havana late
last night, on the Ward line steamer Wig
ilancia, as wired last night. The steamer
remained in quarantine until this morn
ing, when she was released by Health
officer Doty. Gen. Lee refused to talk
about Cuba. and said he would take the
first train for Washington. He will re-
turn to Cuba in three or four weeks.
The Vigilancia arrived at her dock at 8
o'clock. Gen. Lee was met at the pier by
a number of Cubans and Spanards, some
of whom he had succeeded in liberia ting
from MORO Castle, where they had been
incarcerated by Gen. Weyler as political
prisoners.
When Gen. Lee was asked to talk about
the situation in Cuba, addressing a group
of reporters, he said: ''Now, boys, / un.
derstand your position and l think you
understand mine. You know it would be
impolitic for me to say anything about
Cuban affairs even aside from my Official
position"
The general looked extremely well, and
was in exceptionally good spirits. He was
asked what was his mission here at this
time, and he said: "Oh, l only came up
to see how the election went"
Asked what he thought of it, he said
as "let the dead rest" or peace to the
dead"
When asked seriously what was his mis-
sion here, he refused to tell but he said
he would go to Washington by the very
first train and as soon as he had called
upon President Cleveland he would so to
Virginia and visit his family.
He said he would return to Havana in
three or four weeks and would be glad
when the time arrived for his departure,
for he did not relish the idea of a winter
here when he could enjoy it in pleasanter
place.
Among those who met Gen. Lee at the
dock were Lorenzo Betancourt, S. T. To-
Ion, F. Zaldo, the agent of the August
Belmont & Co.'s banking house in Ha-
vana; Louis Place, wealthy planter, and
Miguel Mendoza. They all congratulated
Gen. Lee and thanked him for his work
on behalf of Americans in Cuba.
Washington, Nov. 5.-Gen. Fitz-Hugh
Lee reached Washington this afternoon,
and took quarters at the Shoreman. When
seen tonight he declined to discuss Cuban
affairs. Tomorrow he viii see President
Cleveland. He expects to leave here for
his home in Virginia on Saturday, but
this arrangement is not definite.

the Daily Graphic will claim to have au-
thority confirming a statement published
Wednesday in Truth, that the govern
ment has decided to abandon the island
of Cyprus, which was given up to Great
Britain for administration by the Anglo
Turkish convention of 1878. The Graphic
adds that the evacuation of the island is
recognized as a necessary corollary to the
abandonment of the Anglo-Turksh con-
vention. The decision of the government
was FASTENED by Russias view that the
convention implied mistrust of the Rus

Vention had ceased to exist.

AN ANCIENT MEXICAN MADONNA.
Was Lost at the Time of MnxinII-
ian's FaII-Has inst Been Found.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.


From the Philadelphia Ledger
New York, oct. 26-Father Gutierrez, a
Mexican priest, has ended the quest which
he has been on for ten years and the pic
ture of the Virgin Mary and her child.
for which he was searching, will be re-
turned to the convent near the City of
Mexico, where 1t belongs.
The early history Of the picture is, sur
rounded with tradition, but 1t was in the
possession of the convent for 200 years
prior to the time Macmillan enjoyed his
short reign as emperor Of Mexico. It is
believed to have been painted more than
800 years ago. and its appearance bears
out that belief. The work is by a Mex
lean artist, who knew of Christ and the
virgin from the missionaries, but who did
not know any but the races Of dark COM
plexion. The model for the madonna was
an Indian woman, tall. dark and graceful.
Her figure is reproduced with skill, and
the dark red hue Of the skin Is preserved.
Indian hair, Indian features and Indian
stolcisn are clearly discernable in the
painting. though an attempt has been
made to give the face look OF holiness.
The Christ child was painted from an
Indian baby, and the looks OF the model
can be discerned in every feature, al
though the head Is surrounded by halo.
The picture, Father Gutierrez says, was
loaned to Macmillan, and when he fell II
was lost. 1t has just been found in a New
York art store, having been brought here
Ia 1854. with other effects OF Moximillan
by a party of Mexicans. who came here
to start a Mexican exposition.
