Proposed Retir

Proposed Retirement of Greenbacks
The country was never so well supplied
with gold as at the present time and some
of the treasury officials believe that the
moment is ripe for forcing gold coin into
actual circulation. Whether this is ad-
visable or not it is probable that Sacre-
tary Gage will recommend to Congress the
retirement of u considerable block of the
greenbaCkS by the payment of gold coin
for their redemption. This course might
be criticised tending to produce con-
traction of the currency if it were not
accompanied by provision for larger
issue of bank notes upon general assets.
The release of $lo0,0OO.0O0 in gold from
the treasury, leaving SI35, 900, ,O0O still avail
quantity of paper, might afford the basis
for the issue OF $i0Oo00.0oU in bank notes
il such an issue were required by the busi-
ness necessities of the country.
There is at present Il greater demand
for paper than for gold and the New York
and Chicago banks are ende;tvoring to OBJ
tain small notes by the surrender of large
notes and gold coin. The deposits of gold
and large notes at the New York sub
treasury i'll exchange for small notes dur
ing last week reached S1,St3,oOe, of which
$6IG was in large United States notes
and $l2o5,UO0 IL gold. A gold deposit of
S:sO0GOO was received on Saturday. There
has also been a request for the exchange
of %},oODG0p in large notes for small at the
Chicago subtreaSury.
Treasurer Roberts has been endeayoring
TO afford every facility to the banks for
obtaining small notes, but has urged that
the New York clearing house banks should
first surrender some of their large notes
before swelling uDduly the already enor-
nous fund of gold in the treasury. He
does not anticipate a larger currency move
ment at the maximum than $50, 000, 900 and
believes that there will be no difficulty in
meeting such a demand

ACCIDENT OR SUICIDE
A Strange Mystery Perplexes Lodi
People

STOCKTON. Cal, Aug. 3.-Circumstances
indicate that the man who was drowned
In the Mokelumne River near Lodi night
before last committed suicide. All the par
ties that saw the drowning man say the fell
low told them he could not swim, and though
repeatedly warned he ventured into the
deep hole, using a small piece of board to
buoy him up. When in the center he sud-
denly let go of the board and disappeared
beneath the surface. AS the water at this
time Of the year Is hardly cold enough to
give a man cramps, 1t is believed by some
that the man purposely loosened his hold
on the plank to commit suicide. A thor
ough search of his clothing revealed not
the slightest thing that would give clew
to his identity. As it would hardly be sup
posed that man would be without some
piece of paper, a letter, an envelope or some
thing of the kind on his person, 1t is believed
that he destroyed all such evidence before
coming toy the river. He was evidently a
user of tobacco, as small French briar
pipe, some smoking tobacco and piece of
chewing tobacco were found In his pockets.
The remains are stil unidentified, but last
night dispatch was sent to Rabbi Biloxi at
Portland, Oregon, at which place he told
the boys he had brother. Up to 10 o'clock
today no word had been received from there.
He weighed about 100 pounds, had a smooth
face and curly, reddish-brown hair, and
was about % years of age.

Eustis, general passenger agent of the Chi
cago, Burlington and Quincy, he said had
told them that there would be legislation
against the Canadian Pacific, and that
Congress would have legislated last ses-
sion if the subject had not been overshad-
owed by the Cuban crisis. Mr.. McNicoll
said that he did not take any notice Of
these remarks. as MIR. Eustis did not rep
resent the American people. He denied
that the interstate traffic enjoyed by the
Canadian Pacific amounted to $4,000 900.
While there were no statistics for passen-
ger traffic. the fre!gh. traffic amounted

answer any call of duty. Later tonight the
young lieutenant and his mother were CIV

where they were greeted by fully 1000 per-
sons. At midnight the lieutenant and his
