the denial OF Chief Wilkie and of Major
Bittinger, the United States consul
here. who said 1t was stolen by Ralph
: Redfern, of the United States Secret
FService. He says the statement tnat
Redfern stole the letter is untrue, ana

diately protested that IL was altered.

Extraordinary Holding. or .o,a.


 The director of the mint is authority for the statement that the United States now holds $910, 900, 900 in gold. This is an estimate, of course; for there are no data available to determine the amount held by Repositories other than the United States treasury and sub treasuries, the assay offices, the clear ing houses and the national banks, and the holdings of these do not by very considerable percentage reach the total indicated. Assuming that the estimate is approximately correct, however, the gold in the United States would by far exceed the amount held here at any time heretofore.
 The largest sum of gold held in the United States in any previous year, ac- cording to the mint estimates, was $705, 818, 855, in 1888. The stock of the precious metal held in the principal countries of Europe, in Australasia and in the United States in 1873 was $1,- 209. 800, 900. According to the director of the mint, the present stock of gold is $3, 78O, 900, 000-which is more by $1.- 500, 900, 900 than the total stock of both gold and silver in the same countries in 1873.-Exchange.
