condemn the action of the grand jury
as partisan and prejudiced.
When the indictments had been re-
turned, Judge Cantrill ordered that
bench warrants be issued for the arrest
of the accused and made returnable
for the next term of the court which is
in September. Bail was fixed at $3.50
in each case. When asked why he set
the cases for next September, Judge

EXPORTS OF GOLD
Prospect Thav a Considerable
Quantity Will Very Soon
Go Abroad.
Bank of England Will Find It
Necessary to Replenish
Its Store
On Account of Heavy japanese
and Austrian Demand--NO
Alarm Felt.

NEW YORK, April 19.-There is a
prospect of gold exports in the near fu.
ture. 1t will not be surprising If ship
ments are made within the next 10
days. Until very recently, it was
thought that no gold would 60 to
Europe this year, or at any rate until
very late iu the year. The outgo of
gold, which now seems inevitable will
be due, not to conditions in this coun-
try, but to the situation in London, or,
to be more exact, to the position in
which the Bank Of England finds it.
self. The bank has recently sustained
tremendous losses of gold from its
vaults chiefly by reason of Withdrawals
for transfer to Austria and Japan and
especially to the latter country. The
loss in gold bullion by the bank of the
last week has been 81, ,99S,7 or prac
tically $4,000, 900. The shipments for
the week to Japan and Austria were
1891 900 or $5,OOO,OOO. Sterling ex-
change is almost up to the gold export
ing point, which is calculated to be
$4SS14 for demand exchange. The
Bank of England charge for gold bars
is about penny an ounce above the
normal figure, and any additional
measure which it may adopt to protect
its own supply of gold will almost
surely result in gold being drawn from
America.
Stock OF Exchange Bills Low.
For another thing, the stock Of bills
Of exchange in New York, which two
or three months ago was large-approx-
imating at one time 500, 900, 600, count
ing the bills hypothecated for loans
has been reduced to between So, 900, OOO
and 100000 This is the time of
year when there is large call for bills
by commercial remitters, and the
amount of new bills Offering Is not
enough for their requirements.
1t is idle to attempt to say how much
gold will leave this country between
this date and July /, but whatever it
may be, it can readily be spared. Even
should the gold to be sent abroad be
taken from the treasury reserve. the
loss of $50, ,OOO, 900 or $50, ,OOO, 900 would
still leave the government with an
ample store. While the orders for the
gold will come from London, the ship.

and Austria direct. Accordingly Q

SENATE REORGANIZATION.

Republicans Agree to Accept the Demo-

WASHINGTON, April l9.-The Repub-

senate has agreed unanimously to ac-
cept, SO far as it is empowered to do so,
the proposition made by the Demo-
Gratis for the reorganization of the sem
ate committees. The proposition which
the committee has agreed to accept
provides that the Republicans shall fill
all the committee places which were
filled by Republican senators during
the last congress, including the
chairmanships vacated by Republi-
cans, and that they shall be
given one additional place on the ap-
preparations committee vacated by a
Democrat and that the membership of
the committee on postoffices and post
roads shall be increased from to 10 III
order to give the Democrats an addi.
tional place on that committee. This
arrangement will result in leaving the
Republican senators at the head of all
the important senate committees, but a

of them will be anti Republican.
