OVER 1000 HEARD.
Large Audience at Garfield Park Last
Night.

There were over 1000 paid admissions
to Garfield park last night. The casino
was filed and several hundred people
heard the concert from buggies ranged
along the sides. The crowd was the
largest present at a Garfield park at
traction since the Passion Play pictures
two years ago.
The programme of the concert was
we'll arranged. After the opening march
by the band, Signora Stetzler, an Amer
lean girl who has made a study of Ital-
in the waltz song, The Glee Maiden
from the RED Hussar." Miss Stetzler
has sweet soprano voice, much more
pleasing than that of Nine. Barducci,
who followed her with a solo in italian.
AS an encore Nine. Barducci made the
mistake of attempting Because" in
English, with the result that the
audience did not extend her a second
encore
Signor Badaracco was heard in the
second part of the programme in a solo
from Verdi's "Rigoletto." His powerful
tenor voice, which was appreciated by
the small audience that heard I'll TROY
atore" last season, won for him double
encore. He responded with the Drink
ing Song" from "CaValleria Rusticana."
A portion of "Cavalleria Rusticana'
was put on as the concluding number of
the programme. 1t served to display
the voices of Signor Badaracco and Sig
emphasize the fact that Nine. Barducci
should stick to Italian opera

ESTIMATE OF GOLD.
On August 4 Was 81, O53 i S.
$3.50 Per Cent More
Than i'm go.

Washington, Aug. 4.-George r. Rob
erts, director of the mint, speaking to-
day of the probable modification of the
present estimate of the stock of gold in
the country, said:
"SOme modification of the present
estimate doubtless was made as the re-
suit of an extended inquiry that is be-
ing made by this bureau and by Mr..
Muhleman of the New York sub-treas-
ury. The original basis of the treasury
estimate is a computation made by DR..
Lindernan, director of the mint, in
1873. Gold was then at premium and
not in general circulation He took the
amount in the treasury and in national
banks and added $40, 900, 900 for circula-
ton on the Pacific coast and $40, 1000
for the holdings other banks and boards,
in all $135, 600 900.
ITO this has been added each year
the coinage and the imports of domestic
coin and Subtracted the recOinage, the
exports and an estimated sum for con-
sumption in the arts.
1.-The gold in the treasury and in the
national banks comprise the only part
of the stock that can be actually count
ed. At the date of the last reported
statement by the national banks, April
20, 1900, their holdings We're $195, 769872-
The treasury holdings May l were $780,
9S9,371, the two items aggregating $685.,
T59, 243. The estimate for May l was
81 043, 525, III, which left 1920, 0OO, 900 to be
accounted for as held by state and
private banks, trust companies and in
safes, pockets and boards. This is the
sum subject to modification.
Reductions do not alter the figures
for the great increase in our stock in
recent years, but rather emphasizes it,
for the additions are made larger in
proportion to the total stock. The esti-
mate of the stock on August l was 81
O53, 1853, 1872, and if the entire $100 0o0, 900
was deducted the stock would remain
so per cent above what it was four
years ago.

New York Uptown Gossip.

New York. Aug. 4.-Possibly the most
important news of the day did not come
out yesterday until very near the close
of business. 1t consisted of the announce
ment eminent bankers in this country
would cooperate with the Bank of Eng
land in receiving subscriptions for the
new issue of ten million British exchequer
three year g. per cent bonds. The loan
is made by the British government to
cover war expenses in South Africa and
China. 1t is put out in a form and at
rate which bankers here consider very att
tractive In fact it will probably be found
that if there is not a heavy oversubscrip-
ton both here and in London, the under
writer's of this issue will take up very
gladly the British investment. The pub
lie is relieved to a considerable extent
because the government borrowings are in
temporary forms instead of more per-
manent form of consols. That to an ex-
tent should be of benefit to the market
abroad while the fact that American
bankers are readily willing to lend money
to Great Britain is a demonstration OF
our financial strength and of the conf
dence of our leading financiers in the
worlds future lying beyond the next few
months of possible disturbance and doubt
The managers of the railroads of the
United States have long been pursuing q
policy of conservatism which strengthens
the security of all present interest and
dividend payments. The effect of this is
seen in the tenacity with which stocks
are held in the face of adverse news and
in the ability which local pools possess
in running up prices on the short inter-
est.

BATTLE SUNDAY.



Tsin and the outer world are still sur
rounded with mystery the progress of
the international column toward Pekin.
The state department officials have
nothing from their own agencies bear
ing on the movements of the columns
and while the war department has
heard recently from General Chaffee,
the officials will not make public his
dispatch and refuse to say whether or
not they themselves know that the
movement has begun. 1t is known that
the Chinese government is in the way
to quickly take advantage of any in
formation that may be published re-
specting the international column, and
1T is deemed bad strategy to afford the
Chinese any assistance of this kind.
There are signs that al lis not well
with General Chaffee and that he is
meeting with greater difficulties than
debarked and ready for the start to-
ward Pekin. But the war department
has given him unlimited power in the
matter of financial resources and also
is doing all it can to help him from
this end.
There is a renewal of the rumor that
something is occurring at Shanghai
Kwan at the eastern end of the great
wall which will surprise the Chinese.
There is fine military road from this
point to Pekin over high and dry
ground and although the distance Is
nearly twice that from Tien Tsin to
Pekin, it's physical advantage make
this route practically much shorter in
point of time. 1t is believed here that
a strong Russian column, either has
been or will be landed at that point to
converge on Pekin simultaneously with
the International column and thus di-
vide the Chinese opposing force.

STRIKES IMMINENT.
Motormen and Conductors on Brook

New York, Aug. At is announced
that the motormen and conductors of
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit system are
FESTIVE and have submitted a complaint
TO President Rossiter. The giSt OF the
complaint is put in the following words
by one of the leaders:
The company pays less for 'trippers
or swing runs than it does for straight
runs and the tables are now arranged
so that instead of working day
through, 1t is made in two parts. We
are not allowed to go home in the mean
time, but must wait around the station
In case we are wanted.
The tables prove that men are wait
ing for sixteen and sometimes more
hours IN order to get in seven or eight
hours work. was not in the last strike.
/ worked through it and there are a. lot
more like me, but there will not be
single man who will stay next time If
we are forced to make that kind of
fight for our lives
The demands are in brief:
All straight runs of ten hours work
to pay 81.
More straight runs and not so many
swings.
Thirty cents per hour for overtime. Men

MEET AUGUST I6.
Kansas Exposition Association
To Make Plans.

F. D. Coburn, chairman of the board
of directors for the Kansas Exposition
association today issued call for a
meeting of the directors in Topeka at
$3.50 a. M, Thursday, August 16.
Accompanying these notices was a re-
quest for meeting of the committee on
bylaws Thursday forenoon, the day pre-
ceding the general meeting of the direc-
tors. This committee will at that meet
ing prepare a report to be made to the
directors.
The association has received a copy
OF the bylaws of the Omaha exposition
and it is probable these regulations will
be adopted for the government of the
Kansas association.
Mr.. COburn was elected president but
declined to serve. He is now acting
chairman and the board will select a
president for the association at the COM
ing meeting. John E. Frost of Topeka
will probably be elected. He is the only
man mentioned for the place at this
time.

PREPARING FOR WAR.
Uncle Sam Will Rush Six Months
Provisions to Taku Before Winter.

New York, Aug. Interpretations be-
ing made by the war and navy depart
ments to facilitate the operations of
the American forces in China, not only
in the advance against Pekin but also
for a winter campaign, indicate that
the administration while hoping that a
condition of avowed war may be avoid
ed, intends to be prepared for it. says
a Washington special to the Herald.
In anticipation of the northern part
of the Gulf of Chi Ii freezing in No
vember, Quarternaster General Lud-
ington is making strenuous effort to
land at least six months supplies at
Taku.
At this moment NagasaEi is the base
of oDerat ions but this base must be
transferred to Taku, which can be
reached by land General Ludington is
arranging for the transportation of
q, 1000 tons of fuel to Taku. Thousands
of small campaign stoves have been
sent to that point. Heavy winter cloth
ing has also gone. The transports will
be withdrawn before the gulf freezes
and additional supplies sent to the
troops must go via Che Foo.
I3rigadier General Weston, commits
sary general of subsistence, is also pre-
pairing to dispatch six months supplies
to Taku. The Hancock, which recently
sailed for China, carrying 973 men and
twenty-six officers, conveyed sixty
supply will be greatly augmented Gen
eral Weston has in contemplation the
simplification of the cOmmiSsary sup
plies sent to Taku. He has called at
tention to the inadvisability of send
ing canned oysters, Holsters, mush-
rooms, peaches, pears, sardines, etc, to
China and if his wishes are carried out
the supplies will be limited to whole
some rations of the army, with few
extras for sale to the officers and men
desiring to purchase them. This is
list of the articles selected at random
from that detailing the supplies car
ricd by the Hancock: Bacon, 21,915
pounds; corned beef, canned. 2,7O0
pounds; flour, 118,900 pounds; hard
bread. % 1000 pounds; beans, 5,400
pounds; rice, 900 pounds; hominy, 500
pounds: potatoes, fresh, 1900 pounds;
potatoes, desiccated. LOO pounds; pota-
toes, sliced, 1,7OO pounds; onions 1000
pounds; milk, canned, $500 pounds is
nacaroni. 100 pounds; sugar, $500
pounds; butter, 1000 pounds; corn in
cans, 1000 pounds; tomatoes canned,
II 900 pounds
In addition to these articles were ap-
pies apricots, cheese, chocolate, crabs,
prunes, preserves, jellies, olives, pick
les. etc.
General Weston holds that in view
of the difficulties in the way of prompt
TRANSFORMATION. it is inadvisable to send
so many articles which are sold to OIL
GERS and men and he favors limiting
the number of articles as much as pos
