THE GLUT OF GOLD.

The gold reserve is now upwards of
$3.50, 600, 900. The fact fairly takes ones
breath. 1t was announced in the dis
patches the other day that the govern
ment had ordered the payment of war
and current expenses as far as possible
in gold. A large per cent of the customs
receipts now paid are in gold. The i'm
ports are falling millions below the av-
ately increasing. So the flow of gold
to the shores of America becomes phe-
nomenal. The imports since January
at the port of New York alone have
fallen off nearly thirty-seven millions
of dollars as compared with the same
time last year. Upwards of 81, 900, 900 is
reported as coming in from foreign
ports this week. In January and Feb
ruary the proportion of gold paid for
customs duties was less than 9 per cent.
In April it jumped to 424 per cent in
gold, and for the month of May so far
over two-thirds of the customs duties
have been paid in gold. To this must
be added the regular mine product of
between four and five millions a month

The PRESIDENT RIGHT AGAIN.

President Mckinley was eminently
right when he protested against any
recognition of the belligerents in Cuba
in connection with our declaration of
war. Since active hostilities began ex-
peTienced men have been dispatched to
the camps of Gomez and Garcia, and
these commanders were told exactly
what was expected of them. They
complained of a lack of arms and am
munition and seemed rather inclined
to criticise the action of this govern
ment in taking the whole affair in its
own hands. However, they We're prom
ised all the arms and all the ammuni-
ton desired and were told to be at a
certain point on the coast on certain
day to receive them. The boat load
Of guns and other things were prompt
ly sent to the point designated. But
instead Of the insurgent forces being
on hand to receive them, there were
hattalions of Spanish soldiers, and so
the munitions and guns were not
landed
That Cuban junta, so-caIled, is re-
sponsible for much of the misrepresen-
tation touching the number and effect
1veness Of the insurgent forces. Blan-
cos forces have been underestimate
and the Cubans over-estimated bv the
agents of the junta. President Nc
hinley, however had the exact facts.
He knew of the weakness of the in

real organized government 1t was not

that war was declared, nor for the sup

sent, but for the thousands of starving

5nly furnish the necessary troops to
overthrow Spain in Cuba, but that this
government will have to. take charge

EDUoARD REMENYI.

The death of Edouard Remenyi, the
violinist, who fell dead on the stage Of
the Orpheus theatre in San Francisco
last Sunday night, where he was TAX
ing part in a charity concert, has
brought out the fact that he had many
admirers all over this country. The
newspapers are still speaking kind
things of the old musician in connec-
ton with anecdotes of him The music

master. 1t was his first appearance on
a variety stage, and he was received

but suddenly fell toward the footlights
senseless. Remenyi was an eccentric
genius, a friend and companion of
some of the most noted men of this
generation. He was born in 1880 in
Miskole, Hungary, and studied the vio-
lin in Vienna under Boehn. Joachim s
teacher In 1S45 he played an active
part in the Hungarian instruction and
was driven with Louis Kossuth to
America. In this country he counted
among his friends and admirers Will

and many other literary men of the
day. AS d violinist his greatest tri-
umphs were won in Paris in 1865. Dur

IRISH INGRATITUDE

The United States has contributed
nightly to the unbuilding of the Ger
man merchant marine, for which we
are being repaid in Hohenzollern sneers
and with the fact that his largest
steamship company doing business be-
tween American and German ports has
sold two especially valuable auxiliary
cruisers to the Spaniards. This trans
action for ingratitude only equals that
of the French people, but neither can
figure on the same day with that of the
Irish leaders in parliament Daniel
Macaluse, NJ. P, for North Monagan,
andJohn Hammond, NJ P, for Carlow,
devoted followers of the illustrious Tim
Healey, wired congratulations to Ma
ria's boy Alphonso XIII. When these
fellows grow hungry or ragged or want
few extra dollars to splurge with,
or when their countrymen are over
taken with famine, they will not be
found appealing to that young Spanish
prig, or to his mother, who have been
serving the people of Cuba after a
fashion never dreamed of by British
oppressed Irishmen, but these Irishmen
will howl for Tammany, and to the
American people, who have sent them
ship loads to eat and millions of money
for their cause.

RAPID-FIRE GUNS.

There is continual mention of rapid
fire and quick-firing guns in connec-
ton with the armament Of cruisers,
battle-ships and gunboats. 1t is gener-
ally understood that these guns are
small affairs shooting big bullets or
something of the kind. They are small
guns, compared to the thirteen-inch
monsters. But most of the rapid-fi fire
and quick-fring guns are what are
known as six-inch guns. That is, the
bore of the gun is six inches in dame
ter. But they are not such little, limo
cent and harmless affairs as is gener-
ally supposed. Their balls weigh about
one hundred pounds, the smallest sew
enty pounds. They are wicked. They
are good for two or three miles, and at
a mile they are terrific. The saving in
time and ease of manipulation are eff
fected by using fixed ammunition, in
which SHE'LL powder and primer an
united. The sixpounders, of which
there are numerous types. can dis
charge with accuracy twenty to TWEEN
ty-five shots per minute, a number
which can be raised to thirty or thirty
five if accuracy in aiming the piece is
dispensed with. With the five-inch
rapid fire guns thirty-six shots have
been fired in five minutes, and as each
of these proJectiles is seventy pounds
in weight, the effect can be readily I'M

an adventures seeker since reaching
manhood. He hunted tigers, elephants

gle and has even been SO bold as to af-

doubt as to his courage.
