No Cold ReaerEe.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-One hundred
and fifty million dollars is the goal
which the treasury officials now hope
to reach before the season Of gold ex-
ports sets in. The official gold reserve
yesterday was 149, 539, $50. The supply
of notes of the denominations of 81 and
50 already has been exhausted, and
notes of S. and $40 are now being paid
out 1t is not the policy of Treasurer
Morgan TO ship small notes largely to
San Francisco, because they are not
usually in much demand, gold being
the medium of ordinary transactions.
The present rate of increase in the gold
reserve would carry the amount to
$3.50, 900, 900 in about 20 days.

PLAN TO LEASE 100000 ACRES,
superintendent stTyker Would Derive In
come from Vacant School Land.


TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 27.-There are
about 200, 900 acres of unsold schoo
lands in Kansas. The legislature of
1895 enacted law prohibiting the
sale of school lands for the period of
two years. This was to give the irri-
CATION board room to experiment. The
two years are now up and the land can
be sold whenever the state super
intendent of public instruction makes
an order placing them on the mar
ket. The land is in western Kansas,
and much of it would not bring
the minimum price prescribed by law,
So an acre. Superintendent Stryker
proposes a measure which he believes
will meet with the approval of the leg
islature. 1t is to authorize that the
lands be leased for term of years.
even if we could lease the lands for
only 81 an acre it would be better than
to let them lie idle, Mr.. Stryker says.
A bill to this effect will be prepared
and introduced this week.

william f. Valentine. the notorious forger
and all-around swindier. who was recently SON
fenced to ten years imprisonment In the Kings
county penitentiary. has been discovered In q
supposed attempt to escape, aud Is now under
going n period of solitary confinement. When
sent to the Crow Hill prison q couple
of months ago Valentine was assigned to
tho Government mail bag workshop, and
as that work has not been stopped by
the operation Of the Prison Labor law. he has
not been forced into idleness. His conduct,
while in tho shop, was unexceptionable. put
recently there was something not only In his
own veme but also In that Of some Of his
visitors. which excited the suspicion Of Warden
Patrick Hayes. and for the past week Valentine
has been kept under surveillance.
On Sunday morning., while Valentine was de-
voting himself to the religious services in the
chapel. Keeper William II. Walker made an
overhaulinR of his eel. In the long-term corridor
with some important developments. Tucked
away In the bed tick Keeper Walker found SOW

was notified Of tho And. and Valentine was in.
lodged In one OF the solitary cells. lilo expressed
much surprise when he was told OF the discov-
cry, anu also expressed complete ignorance Of
how the articles came to be In His cell.
" Some enemy he said, must have put
them there to injure me and bring me into dis
credit with tho Warden" 1t Ia said that tho
knife. which was made from a file. was found In
the c%onvicts stocking. and had an edge MS sharp
as "A razor. In addition to his seven days In the
dungeon Valentine will be shut OF from all
prison privileges for thirty days. He belonged
to u reputable Long Island family. but had been
living on his wits for the past three or four
years. In addition to his numerous iorgories he
became involved In all kinds OF swindling opera
tions. Over three months ago the Brooklyn police
authorities got after him. and when she became
aware OF this fact. Miss May Wingate. who had
become infatuated with him and had lived
with him rs his mistress. m pied suicide by
shooting herself. Before her recovery NAlen.
tine had been nabbed. and she came forward
and furnished some of tho evidence which es-
tablished his guilt and forced him to make .
confession aud throw himself on the mercy of
the Court. Yesterday there was . story In
some of the Brooklyn papers that Miss Win
gate had recently visited Valentine in the
prison and was suspected of having struggled In
the rope. irons, and knife, with . view to aid
him In his plans to escape. Warden Hayes says
that this Is untrue.
