to-day. DR.. Barth. leader of the Radical
Unionist party. asked Chancellor Won
Hohenlohe what had been done with the
resolution in favor of bimetallism that
had been introduced during the last ses-
sion OF the Reichsiag.
The Chancellor replied that he was
not yet able to make any statement
TO the Chamber concerning the resolu-
tion.
Dr. Barth then declared that the bime-
tailic agitation had been fomented out
side Of Germany. adding that perhaps
American gold had assisted The agita-
ton.
Here Won Kardoff. the German cham

Agrarian party, challenged the produc-
ton OF proof that any one Of the German
bimetallists had been paid 10 represent
American iI'.crests, and declared that

DR. Barth sprang from his seat and
hotly declared that such a remark was

SUPPLY OF GOLD SMALL.
Coinage OF the Metal VIII Soon

PHILADELPHIA, PA, January b.
No gold has been received at the mint
here for some time, but the demand for
gold coin has kept up, and the presses
have been kept busy all the fall and win
ter. turning out half-eagles and double
eagles. The result has been that the
supply of gold on hand has steadily d.
minished. until there is so little left
that it will be- exhausted in less than two
weeks. BY the end Of next week. un-
less more gold arrives, it will be neces-
sary to stop all the gold coinage. and
those employed I'm IT must be laid off.
There has been no silver coined re-
Gently. and there is no order for any
now; but It is hoped that an order will
be issued in case no more gold Is re-
ceived soon. so that as many presses may
be kept going as possible.
One reason given for the failure to send
more gold to the mint is that the supply
of gold-bars i'm the Treasury has been
depleted by exports.

E DISTRESSING SCENE was
L&l witnessed Monday evening al
United States Clerk ]. c. Anderson's
Office, where young farmer from out
near Chelsea appeared and made ap-
plication for a marriage license. Mr..
Anderson informed him very suavely
that it would be necessary to first
make a bond in the sum of 300, and
the young fellow said that he supposed
that it would be impossible as he was
not acquainted with single person in
Vinita. But this difficulty was solved
by kind-hearted man who was stand
ing by proffering to go on the bond and
risk it, that the ceremony might go
on. When the bond matter was set
tied the young man was asked the
name and age of his iiance, and Civ
ing her age at fifteen years, he was
told by the clerk that he would have
to have the consent of her parents.
This seemed to be an unsurmountable
difficulty, as he said her mother had
died years ago and her father had de-
serted her aud gone-they knew not
where-and as no guardian had been
appointed he was compelled to go sor-
rOwfully away. But he assured the
clerk that he would return very soon
with the girl in person and test Judge
springer's good nature to the bottom,
or get a license.
