I'm the redistribution during the three
years Russia shows loss OF $l5l, U0.0W,
practically all of which went into circula-
ton in redemption of the bank notes, under
the law for resumption Of specie payments.
Spain and Austria gained materially, while
England, France and Germany lost. The
South Africa war not only stopped the
usual flow of gold to London but COM
PEELED England to send large amounts to
the Cape.
1--WE are now prepared to estimate what
became of the worlds product or. say $SoO,-
100000. The consumption in arts and manu-
features for the world amounts to upward
of $50, 100000 annually, so that nearly $2OO.-
COO 900 were probably so used; India always
draws more gold from Europe than she re-
turns, besides keeping her own product;
this and the similar movement to other
countries in the Orient probably account
for $3.50, OOO 600; the United States, as we
have seen, took 1929. 100000 (keeping their
large product and importing about Sl35. :
600 more than were exported), and Russia s
adoption of the gold standard accounts for.
say S151, 900 900 disappearing from the usual
repositories. These items aggregate WA
100000, and thus practically account for the
enormous sums taken out of the earth since
the end of 1896. Englands exports to the
Cape Colony probably make up the re-
mainder."

LINCOLN, Neb, Jan. B.-Before Federal
Judge Munger to-day Attorney General
Smith argued against the release of the
Fort Crook soldiers who last November
shot deserter. Answering the
claims of the United States dis
trict attorney that he maintained
that there Is not a law authorizing the
shooting OF an escaped prisoner by soldiers.
that TO justify such shooting il must be
shown the men acted within the terms
of such a law; that the arrest and deten-
ton OF deserters who have got beyond the
control and authority of the United
States Is committed by Congress to the
civil authorities and that army officers
canncs perform such service. Finally, he
declared that the contention of Governor
Poynter, who ordered the arrest of the
soldiers that the killing was wanton MUIR
der, was the correct one.

Mr.. Van Siclxlen Afraid British
Cruisers Would Catch Them.

NEW YORK. Jan. 1s.-George W. Van
Sicklen, treasurer of the American Trans
vaal fund. said to-day that between ten
and twenty able-bodied young men applied
in person TO him every day TO be sent to
South Africa to fight on the Boer side.
Since the war started" said Mr.. Van
Sicklen, there have been 1000 applications.
by actual count, of men who want to go to
the Transvaal and fight England. I have
not got the money to send them, and would
not send them if 1 had. What would be
the use of my losing both men and money? ?
The British cruisers would be sure to take
the men off the ships before the vessels
reached a South African port, and it costs
$40 for even a steerage ticket to Delagoa
bay. The only lawful thing we can do in
this country is to send money to the wild
ows and orphans of the Beers. But the
men who call at my office and want TO be
sent out as recruits are an exceptionally
fine lot of men. They are neither beggars
nor tramps, but bright fellows whose SYM
pathies entirely with the Beers. Many
of them give up good positions and come
on expecting that / can send them to the
front"

Views of General Buckner.

CHICAGO. Jan. 1S.-Gen. Simon B. Buck
ner, of Kentucky. who was the wise presi-
Dental candidate on the gold Democratic
ticket in 1896, was in Chicago to-day and
said in an interview: 1.-THE Democratic
party has no future until the element now
In control has been wiped out and this
promises to be done at the election of this
year. Expediency, not principle, is the
motto of this element; the energies Of
its leader, Mr.. Bryan are engaged in hunt
ing for an issue which he hopes will at
tract votes. and not in the PRONUNCIATION
of those great principles on which the
Democratic party rests. With his defeat,
which promises to be more overwhelming
than in 1896, there is every reason to be-
lieve the conservative element of the party
once more will come into power. The con-
trolling element of the party to-day would
commit it to opposition to expansion when
expansion was the essence of Jeffersonian
Democracy. AS practical proposition
there can be no doubt in my mind as to
the wisdom of this country retaining the
Philippines"

RETURN OF HOLIDAY MONEY.
One Million Dollars In MutfIates
Notes Sent to Washington.
Aroxr Xorlr ExraninQ Post

New York Evening Post
Twenty-nine bundles of mutilated ma
tional bank notes aggregating N,0OO,oOO in
value will be returned to Washington this
afternoon by the subtreasury in this city.
The consignments represents holiday
money" received from local banks from all
sections of the country, and is the largest
lot of old notes sent to Washington from
this city this season. G. w. Marion, dep
uty assistant treasurer in charge OF the
cash department of the local subtreasury,
supervised the assortment Of the bills.
Since il is estimated that mutiated bills
returned by the banks represent In value
only % per cent. of the holiday money
sent to this city from interior points, 1t Is
believed that at least $4,000O0O has been
recently received. Notes of the smaller de-
nominations, 81, 81, and S., were most mu-
tilated The money Is turned into the
Bureau of Redemption at Washington,
where IL is verified. The notes are then
cut lengthwise and sent to different divi-
sions, where they are counted. The top
and bottom" divisions then compare notes
to discover possible discrepancies. After
that the notes are ground into pulp ana
sold to paper manufacturers
Before this disposition was made of the
notes they were burned in furnace. Upon
one occasion the heavy draught drew the
notes up the fiue, and 81 bills, with frac-
tional currency, were found floating all
over Washington. After that the present
method was adopted.

WAGES TO BE REDUCED.
Order That Affects Pullman Sleeping.
Car Conductors.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1S.-In circular which
has been posted on the walls Of the Pull
man sub-office at the Union Depot a reduc-
ton of the wages of sleeping-car conduc-
tors is announced. The amount Of the cut
is said to be, in many cases, as much as
20 per cent. 1t is claimed that this reduc-
ton will place the wages of many of the
oldest conductors back to the schedule at
which they started.
Whether the reduction is to be made
among all employees of the company or is
to be enforced only on some lines is a
question. August w. Glitzow, district sup
erintendent of the Pullman Company, ad-
mitted to-day that a circular ordering the
cut had been issued, but would not discuss
the terms or scope of the order.

New South Wales Lancers and South Aus
tralians, was ambushed yesterday by the
Beers. Eight of the detachment escaped
and arrived in camp. This morning a pa
troll visited the scene of the fight and
found one dead Australian and one
wounded man. A number of dead Boer
horses also were found, showing that the
Australians made a gallant fight. Six
were captured. 1t appears that when the
Australians encountered the first body
they galloped for near by kopje hoping to
beat off the Beers, but on arriving they
found another force of burghers concealed
there.

MOVEMENT OF GOLD.


NEW YORK, Jan. 1S.-A statistical re-
view of the supply and movement of gold
since the end of 1896. by Maurice L. Muhl-
man, deputy assistant treasurer OF the
United States, was given out to-day.
Mr. Muhlman says: 1.-The recent exporta-
ton of gold to Europe and the suspension
of production in South Africa has directed
attention to the worlds supply of the yell
low metal and it's distribution. Accurate
figures for the end of 1899 are not yet avail
able but those at hand are sufficiently so
to give a comprehensive general view or
the subject 1 have taken for comparison
the period from the close of 1896. In which
year the conditions In the United states
were decidedly unsettled. The worlds pro-
duction of gold in the three years of 1887.
1898 and 1899 Is estimated to have been be-
tween s25 and $50 millions. The following
table shows the location or important
stocks of gold on Jan. OF the years
