PLETHORA OF GOLD.
Treasury Has More Than II Can Ac-
COnmOdRte - Anxious to
Have 1t Used.

In spite of the fact that for the last
three or four months gold has been paid
out by the treasury for salaries and
other current expenses, the stock of
the yellow metal continues to keep up
close to the high-water marx. The free
gold coin in the treasury Mt the close of
business to-day amounted to $226, 6,034,-
551, more thnn twice the statutory gold
reserve, while the grecnbacks, treasury
notes and national bank notes amount
ed to only $l7G62,242
The treasury has been forced to stop
rcdeeming notes in gold, fact which
in panlcky times would cause sensa-
tion. In spite of the extraordinary de-
mnnds of the war, the payment to
Spain, and other unusual demands
which have been met, the stock of gold
on hand is about $50, 900, GOO in excess OF
the net balance just before the dec
laration of war, and is still only S2O, ,OOO,-
O00 below the high-water mark. The
cash balance, exclusive of the normal
100000, 900, is $164,OO4,5Ss.
The deficit for the fiscal year thus far
IiS $llO,9s1 ,0G7, and it is not likely to be
over $l15, 100000 for tho year. The cash
balance therefore is ample to run the
government for another year, and the
principal problem is to induce people to
use gold In ordinary commercial trans
actions.

ANOTHER TEST.
How Louis Ga thmnnn VIII Prove De-
yOnd . Doubt That Ills She'll
IL All Right.


Louis Gathmann, the Chicago invent
or, will have still another test of his
gun cotton shell. In the last expert
ment the gun was buried entire. When
the explosion. took place some OF the
ordnance officers contended the gun
cotton. had been exploded when the
gun was~burst by the heavy charge of
powder, in spite of the fuct that sew
erul pounds. of gun cotton were found
in tho debris. The shell was broken
to pieces, but tho inner face OF the
fragments still showed the tool marks.
Gathmann said that If the gun cotton
had been detonated the copper casket
In which IL was contained would hnve
been fused into the aluminium bronze
of the shell. 10 prove this he buried
another shell loaded with wet gun cot
ton and detonntcd it, causing n tire
mendous explosion. When the frag-
nents we're examined II was found the
copper casing had been fused into them
on the inner side, thus satisfying the
ordnance officers that In the first test
the gun cotton had not exploded.
However, to satisfy all doubts, the
inventor has arranged still another nov
cl test lie will load another old smooth
bore with bursting charge of smoke
less powder, with n shell filled with
gun cotton and the rest of the gun
packed with sand. In the test two weeks
ago the whole gun was buried, but in
the next experiment the gun will be
buried in a trench with the muzzle free,
so the shell can be fired into n bank
of sand while the gun itself VIII lie
burst. This new test will take place

ESTIMATE PREposTERous.
faimH Says Probably Less Than SI,-
@oO'OOO Was Collected for Cuban
Cause, Instead of 90, ,OOO,U 900.

Inquiries having been made concern
ing the amount of money received and
expended by the Junta in connection
with the recent troubles In Cuba and
war with Spain, T. Estrada Palma, the
delegate in this country of the so-called
Cuban republic, In an interview said:
The idea that upward of $4,000 900
was collected for the Cuban cause and
turned over TO me as the Cuban repre-
sentative Is rubbish. The estimate that
Sl'sOC.OO0 was subscribed by Cubans in
the United States during the Inst four
years Is prcposterous. don't suppose
1t was much more than half a million
dollars, and the total amount received
by me from all sources was probably
less than $l,250.0OO. OF this, about,
$47O,oO0 was received from Cuban plant
ers on account of taxes, the Cubans in
Paris may have subscribed $3.50, 900, and
the private contributions of Americans
and Cubans In the United States were
probably less than $4,000. shall ex-
