fectly frantic while undergoing punish
ment at the hands of the eXultant and
defiant bulls, and as the war of battle
and the screams of the victims re-
sounded through New street, it seemed
as though human nature was under
going torments worse than any that
Dante ever described in hell" At 3
o'clock on that afternoon Fisk appeared
IN the gold room and gold rose from
1871 to 141A Wagers were offered of
any part of $4,000 that the price would
reach 145. They talked freely Of the
assurance they had from Washington
that the government would not inter
fere, and President Grant and mem
bers of his family were quoted as be-
ing with them. Another runIor was
that they could secure the services and
influence of Mr.. Corbin, the brother
in-law of President Grant, as president
Of the Tenth National Bank, which had
been recently purchased in connection
with Tweed and Sweeny. The consider
alton was to be $4,000 per annum. The
business on the produce exchange and
the ordinary foreign exchanges was
paralyzed. Another disturbing element
was that New York Central fuctuated
% per cent in less than as many min
utes on a rumor of judicial interior
ence with the consolidation authorized
by the legislature Of the New York
Central and Hudson River railroads.
Friday, Sept. "a, came with every

contracts with them to place or
per cent additional advance in price
In their hands or else settle at the
price Of the day.
AT about ~ o'clock, when the price
was about 100. suddenly there was a
ruinor that the government had sent
orders to sell $4,000, 900 Of gold and buy
greenbaol1s in the regular way, which
proved true. The price tumbled 8, 10,
20, 30 per cent, and fell to 1873. Frantic
operators shouted that they would sell
at 100. while just before an equally ex-
cited operator had been Offering to buy
at 100. After the break the range was
about 1873. Agony and despair, wild
passion with some and sullen gloom
with others, marked the closing of the
fatal day.
1t was not known for many days
what settlements would be made. The
offices of the leading operators were
closed early on Friday afternoon. One
operator said: 81 made $4,000 and
would take a quarter of It today rather
than run the risk Of tomorrow" The
Gold Exchange Bank clearing depart
ment was not prepared with its ac-
counts. Certified checks of the Tenth
National Bank were thrown out by
some of the banks. There was a run
on the bank, and a large sum was
paid out. There was no session Of the
gold room on Saturday. The failures
were fewer than expected, as liberal
settlements were made on all sides.

AN ENORMOUS DEFICIT.
Present Indications Are That An.
other Bond Issue VIII
BE Necessary.

In spite of the best financiering of
the shrewdest manipulators the deficit
for the year just closed reaches nearly
$4,000 900. This in spite of the re-
markable flood of imports which has
caused the custom house receipts to i'm
crease greatly. This showing is nearly
SIS, 10000 better than was expected by
Secretary Gage six months ago. Sec
rotary Cages estimates of receipts for
the next fiscal year were considerably
higher than his estimates of receipts
for the year just closed. He counted on
$195, 000, 900 from customs and $270, 000,-
900 from internal revenue for the pres.
ent year, and on $205, 900, 900 from Gus.
toms and $2S5, 100000 from internal rev.
enue next year. 1t will be seen that il
the customs receipts only do as well
next year as they have done this year
they will come up to his estimates
while the internal revenue receipts will
have to increase 12,5oO,Ooo to equal his
prediction. Both of these items depend
so largely upon the business condition
of the country that it is impossible to
predict how the final account will
stand.
The only hopeful source OF decrease
is in the pension account, while the
expenses for war will mount higher
and higher. The deficit for this year
eats so heavily into the bond issue that
another year cannot go by without an
other issue. While we contemplate with
regret the enormous deficit, we are re-
minded of the fact that the republic
ans ascribed all industrial ills to the
deficit few years ago.-Utica OBJ

CurtaiIing Free speech.

This military weapon against free
speech seems to be very much liked by
President Mckinley in the colonies, es-
pecially in the Philippines, where moth
ing in the nature of current events is
allowed publicity there or in the United
States. The Atkinson affair shows that
the Washington government would not
hesitate to employ Gen. Woods meth
DDS in this country if it dared. In fact.
not a few organs of the administration
urge the president to put stop to
newspaper criticisms on his foreign
policy on the ground that they give
aid and comfort to the nations ene-
mics.
1t is but short step from Santiago
or Manila newspaper Office to news
paper office in the United States, and
there is no doubt at all that the admin
istration would like to take that step.
1t does not need very close observer
of current events to see that the pres
ident and those machines are taking ad-
vantage of every opportunitl to central
ize the political power of the country
in the white house. They seem to have
reached the lese majestic stage Of the
game already.-Kansas City Tinss.

BOYS CAMP FIRE.
Y. M. C. A. Juniors Entertained ON Fine
Old Cutler Place.

Y. M. C. A. Juniors Entertained ON Fine
Old Cutler Place.
For more than year past the patriot
ism of American boys has been fired by
the achievements of their elders during
that period. And never before has there
been an epoch when history was made
more rapidly. 1t is small wonder then
that young America" enters with q
vim and zealousness into any movement
or event that is suggestive of the life of
the American soldier. That Morristown
boys are just as enthusiastic in this re-
spect as any other young patriots was
demonstrated last Friday evening when
real campfire with all necessary ac-
cessories was enjoyed by the Juniors Of
the Young Mems Christian Association.
The unique event was arranged by
Fred w. Cutler who is in charge Of the
Juniors Department of the Y. M. @. A.
and this was but one of many pleasant
and successful events arranged by him
for the entertainment of the boys. This
particular occasion was 80 planned as to
be in way, surprise to the young
guests who were invited to the grand old
Cutler home on Cutler street.
| They began to arrive at about o'clock
and from the house went through the
grounds to a spot on a hill overlooking
the Cutler fish ponds and Speedwell
Lake. Here big fire was blazing in
true camp style and Mrs. DR.. Douglas
was busy preparing the coffee. The
boys romped about the woods, played
ball and INDUCED in other diversions
common to their kind, such as climbing
trees and playing harmless jokes on each
other.
| After about an hour of play the boys
"lined up" after the fashion of soldiers,
cup in hand and were served by Mrs,
Douglas with coffee. Then after all had
become seated about the fire, crackers,
representing hard-tack, baked beans and
ginger Bolivars were served All of
these the little fellows appeared to en-
joy, and more than one chap was heard
to remark that when he became man
he intended to be soldier.
For the entertainment of the young
guests Ellis jackson, Sr., and Ellis Jr.,
rendered number of musical selections.
The elder Ellis played the violin while
the little fellow had cornet. The latter
is truly wonder and although but
seven years of age he plays several instru-
ments and has remarkable knowledge
of music for one so young. After "mess"
the little fellow gave an exhibition of
dancing at the boat house which was
extremely clever.
When darkness came the boys gather
ed around the campfire and listened to
the narration of a recruits experience in
the Santiago campaign. All then repaired
to the Cutler house where ice cream
and cake were served. Mr.. Cutler and
A. w. Lunback, secretary of the Y. M.
@. A. entered into the spirit of the oc-
casion and enjoyed the event with the
boys.
