PROSPECTS FOR GOLD SHIPMENTS.

Despite the rumors yesterday TO the contrary.
there Is to believe that the National City
Bank. which within the last ten days has exported
s. 10000 gold to Europe. will not make a further
shipment on Saturdays steamer although both
this institution and several foreign banking houses,
1t is expected. will announce within the next thirty
days engagements OF gold for export aggregatlng
several million dollars. The rate for demand ster-
ling is still we'll below the figure which is supposed
represent profit I'm exporting gold and the
source OF the profit accruing 10 the National City
Bank In its recent transactions has not yet de-
veloped; nor is It positively known TO what coun-
try OF Europe the recent gold shipments are des-
tined. According to Ellis H. Roberts Treasurer OF
the United States the total amount OF gold now
held In the United States is 81 900. 100000: that
the loss OF few millions OF this enormous sum Is
not likely seriously to affect the business interests
OF the country.

AFTER NEW-YORK LTFE'S SURPLUS.
EDWARD T TIERNEY. OF LOUISVILLE. WOULD
SHARE IT'S WEALTH

EDWARD T. T1ERNEY, OF LOUISVILLE, WOULD
SHARE IT'S WEALTH.
Prompted by the example set by Emil Greet, a
policy holder in the Equitable Life Assurance
Society who recently sued that company for a
share of its immense surplus, Edward I. 11erney,
of Louisville, KY, has brought similar suit
against the New-York Life Insurance Company.
Mr. Tferney holds a 1900 hfteen-year policy In
that company, which matured on May T. He had
agreed to accept paidup policy for the beneht OF
his wife and children. when he heard OF the suit
against the Equitable. and thought It would be
a good thing for him to have slice OF the New
York Lfe's surplus. Accordingly, he has brought
suit for his share of it, which he estimates at
500
George w. Perkins. second vice-president OF the
New-York Life, said yesterday to a Tribune re
porter: "Mr. T1erney will find that the suit
against the Equitable will form no precedent for
him to work on. Our company Is not a. Joint
stock institution. like the Equitable. We do not
have a surplus, so-called. We hold many millions
OF undivided profits, but they form liability; not
a surplus and Mr. Tierney will be convinced of the
difference II he pushes his suit TO decision
Moreover, Mr.. Greet has not won his case against
the Equitable yet.

Company made a demand upon Mr.. Arnolt for the
return Of Sander Won In. but he refused to give
him UP.
The executors through their counsel Edward w.
sought the aid of the courts and Sheriff Monoy
to the dog. The plaintiffs assert that they
are entitled to immediate possession OF the dog
and have been damaged by reason OF his unlawful
detention. Deputy Sherif Breese visited Mr.. Ar

THE CITY OF ROME STEERING EAST IN
THE TRACK OF WESTBOUND
STEAMSHIPS
A report made by Captain Walter of the Ger
man steamship Prinz Regent Luitpold, when 1t
arrived at this port from Bremen yesterday
caused no little surprise in shipping circles. The
entry in the steamships log Of the vessels
sighted while crossing the Atlantic among other
things said:
June In lat 41.3O and long 6O35 passed steam
ship City OF Rome (Br) from New-York for Giaso as
cow. The City of Rome steaming east on the
western track Of transatlantic steamers.
When this entry in the German steamers log
book was shown to the agent Of the Anchor Line,
William Coverly, he said that Captain Hugh
Young who is in command Of the City or Rome
is a careful navigator. and to seafaring men II
might seem strange that he is making such
course across the ocean. 1t was being DONE
however, according 10 orders because pefore
starting for Glasgow Saturday, Captain
Young had been directed not 10 cross latitude
43 north Of longitude 30, as TO avoid drift
ice.
The Anchor Line, Ii seems, was not party 10
the agreement among the ocean passenger boats
10 follow the southern ocean lanes between jan
nary IS and August - each year. The steamers
OF that line can therefore take the course Whlcn
at the time of the departure of the boats from
New-York or Scotland Is considered to be the
safest The City of Rome has two hundred ana
thirty passengers on board.
Certain agents of the lines in the ocean lane
agreement expressed surprise when told that the
CITY OF Rome is being run across the Atlantic IN
the path OF their westbound vessels.
