GOLD HELD IN THE TREASURY
WILL USE MORE PAPER MONEY.
Orders on the Treasury to be Paid with
Paper Money-An New issue Ordered
Gold to be Balanced with Certificates-
Cash lis Needed to Handle Crops.

Washington, Aug. 6.--It is now ap-
parent that in the fall movement of the
crops there will be a pressing demand for
more currency or paper money. As this
can be furnished in no other way than
by the issue of gold certificates, there
will undoubtedly be a demand more or
less upon the treasury for such certif-
Gates against the deposits of gold coin.
The sub treasury at San Francisco has
been notified by wire to resume the issue
Of gold certificates on deposits of gold and
in payment over the counter OF govern
ment obligations. The other sub treas
uries have been notified to the same effect
by letter, which they will receive before
business hours on Monday morning. The
sub treasurers have also been advised that
the government will ship them an addi-
tional supply of gold certificates today of
what is known as department series, in
denominations ranging from $40 to $1,000,
and aggregating about $l0,000,OO0.
1t is anticipated that the gold certii-
Gates most in demand will be what is
known as "order" certificates. These will
be issued to individual depositors of gold,
and in their own names, IN sums ranging
from $4,000 to $4,000 each.
The government now has in its vaults
between $SS,000,000 and $90,O00,000 in
gold certificates of what is known as the
series of 1888, and these will be supplied
on demand until others can be printed.
1t will be recalled that Secretary Carlisle
suspended the issue of gold certificates by
an order promulgated April IA, 1898. His
authority for so doing was that contained
in section II of the act of July II, 1892,
which made it obligatory on the sc, rotary
of the treasury to suspend the issue when
ever the gold reserve retained in the treas
ury should fall below $l00,O00,000.
This question of resuming the issue Of
gold certificates which was suspended by
Secretary Carlisle has been under consid-
Grafton by Secretary Gage for months.
He has given the question his best
thought, and it is believed has secured the
views of other leading financiers through
out the country before taking this step.
Washington, Aug. 5.-The treasury de-
partment today made requisition upon the
bureau of engraving and printing for the
printing of $lO,OOO,0OO gold certificates
in denominations of 500 each.

Rennes, Aug. s.-The proceedings of the
court martial before which Captain Drey-
fus is on trial opened at 7:l0 o'clock Mon
day morning.
Captain Dreyfus entered the court room
with firm step, though his features were
pallid. He is partly bald and his hair is
gray and close cropped. He answered the
formal question OF the judge as to his
name, age, etc, in a clear, determined
voice. He sat facing the judge with his
hands resting on his knees, an impassiye
figure.
The trial opened, so far as Rennes is
concerned, in an atmosphere of perfect
tranquility. The population is apparently
indifferent. Only a small crowd, at the
most of 80 persons, had gathered outside
the entrance to the Lycee about o'clock.
A majority of these were journalists.

Cleveland. Aug. NO violence of any
kind has occurred in connection with the
street car strike for some time, and as a
result two additional companies of militia

The editor OF Locomotive Engineer
ing declares that in describing a rail-
road collision reporters make a mis-
take when they say that ION seeing the
danger the engineer whistled down
brakes" reversed the lever, and
jumped on" The expression down
brakes" he says, has been obsolete for
two generations. What an efficient en-
gineer really does when a collision
seems impending is to shut of steam,
apply the air-brake, open the sand
valves, and jump. This takes about
five seconds, and in hat time all that
human effort Is able to accomplish for
the train and passengers may be done.
Railroad engineers are told never to
reverse the engine after the air-brake
has been applied. because the reversal
reduces the resisting power Of the
brakes.
