The Treasury's Immense Gold
Fund.
Gold



Fund.
AT the opening of business at
the United States treasury July 81,
It had in its possession the largest
fund of gold held by any nation in
the world, and the greatest ever
possessed by this government. AT
g o'clock. the fund amounted to
$so4,3S4,a97. This involves an
increase during the past month ol
nearly SIC, 900, 600 and an increase
Of $74.422,422 over the figures oi
the corresponding date Of last ear.
The fund held hy the United
States treasury consists Of the fol-
lowing items: Amount held
against gold certificates, Saga, $751;
68e; reserve, $I5o, 600. 900. and
moneys in the general fund of the
treasury, $6I,S1S,5o The
amount Of gold reserve required by
statute to be held from time to
time is $15o. 1000, 600, so that the
present fund, in its entirety, is
largely In excess Of the figure
obliged to be maintained under
the law.
4 Is said at the treasury depart
ment that this amount has never
been surpassed except once. The
Russian government once claimed
70 be in possession Of gold fund
amounting to $sos, 100, 900. which
= the highest amount Of reserve
On record. On July IS last, re-
ports were received at the depart
ment here Of the amounts held by
foreign nations. They were as fol-
lows: Bank Of England, $IS4, !.
$50, 6SI, Bank Of Germany $15S,-
3s3,454; the Imperial Bank Of
Russia, $34s. 4os, IA; Bank Of
Austria Hungary, $roo. sr4.126,
and Bank Of France $47S,2s8, ago.
These banks hold the same relative
positions 10 their respective gov
ernments as the treasury does to
the United States government, 50
that the funds indicated are govern
mental and not private. The
amount now held by France in its
bank Is the largest in the history
Of that nation, 80 that along with
the United States It is now enjoy.
Ing - unusually large redudance
Of government reserve.
One Of the most remarkable
features Of The fund now held by
the treasury IS the fact that a very
large proportion Of the amout Is
Of home production. OF the $so4,-
AS, ao7 now held, very little is
credited to the importation account
the bulk of it coming from the
Alaska and Cripple Greek mining
regions. During the fiscar- year
ended June 4 last, the net importa-
tions Of gold amounted to only
$I3.I28,ooo. OF this quantity of
metal . large percentage came
from Australia. The gold that is
placed in the treasury through
home production is covered by the
issuance Of gold certificates, every
dollars worth Of which stands
guaranteed by its equal in coin
held in the vaults Of the treasury.
From time to time expectations OF
coin and bullion are made by BUSH
ness men to Europe and other
points. Thus. for instance, dur
Ing the month of June last the
sum Of IS. ooo, 900 was sent abroad,
while the importations amounted
to only So. 400. 900.
10 speaking of the immense fund
OF the government, United States
Treasurer Roberts said: "The
dimensions of this fund indicate a
great era Of prosperity now prevail
lag throug bout the United States.

The Maryland Democrats.

.
The Maryland Democrats.
The Maryland Democrats met
in state convention at Baltimore,
August 1. The nominal purpose
for the Offices Of controller and
clerk of the court Of appeals, and
it fulfilled this duty by un-
animously renominating the pres
ent incubents of those Offices.
THE keynote Of the convention,
says the Baltimore Sun (Dem. J,
Struck by all the speakers was
that this is white mans state,
and the one name that brought ap-
plause from the great majority Of
the delegates was the name Of
German" The convention did
not feel it to be necessary at this
time to do more in regard to ma
tional issues than to reafirm al.
legiance to the doctrines Of Thomas
Jefferson"
The purpose Of the party, ifsuc-
cessful in the coming election. Is
evidently to eliminate the Negro
from politics in Maryland. Upon
this will stand the candidates nom
mated for state Offices and those
chosen In the various county and
district conventions as candidates
for places in the legislature Of 1909,
which will elect a Senator
to succeed George L. Wellington.
That his successor, in the event
Of Democratic victory, would be A.
P. German. is thought to be pro-
bable. The plank referring to the
limitation Of the suffrage Is as fol-
lows:
The Democratic party represents
more than forty thousand majority
Of the white people Of Maryland.
They, in common with their
brethren Of other states into which
large masses Of colored voters have
been injected into the body polite.
recognize that the peace, good or
der, personal safety, and proper
development of our material in.
terests depend uron the control Of
the commonwealth by its intelli-
gent white residents. Without
the aid of the sixty thousand
colored voters the Republican
party in Maryland would be q
hopeless minority.
We therefore without hesitation
proclaim that the success Of the
Democratic party will mean that,
while we shall deal with perfect
fairness in securing all the benefits
|ot good government and full and
free opportunities for education to
all classes, such action must be
taken as to prevent the control of
the state government from passing
into the hands Of those who have
neither the ability nor the interest
to manage public affairs wisely
and we'll.
The Baltimore News lind.
Dem.) says that under cover of
the law passed at the snap.Judg.
ment extra session, and with the
political machinery largely in their
hands, the Democrats hope to be
able to work the manufactured
and pernicious race issue to their
advantage, with the laughable pre-
tense Of devotion to good govern
ment thrown in for the sake OF APP
pearances. The real issue is, shall
German and his crowd be put back
where they were before 1895. with
the addition of a perpetual charte,
guaranteeing that they shall stay
there? That is the game, as an
nounced in all but so many words
IN the platform made yesterday.
We think better of Maryland than
to believe that she will be tricked

British COnsul's Belief That Foreign

British COnsul's Belief That Foreign
Interests Have Not Been Bettered.
London, Aug. 81. Byron Brenan,
British consul general at Shanghai,
who has just returned from England,
says:
"From the standpoint of foreign in
terests the position in China is far
worse today than before the interna-
tional occupation of Peking. Formerly
the Chinese believed foreign interests
We're, at any rate to certain extent,
identical. Thanks to recent events
they are now better able than ever to
play off one power against another, so
patiently have their interests been
shown to diyerge. There is very hos
tile feeling in many parts of northern
China, and local disturbances may be
expected"
Mr.. Brenan declared that Russia and
Germany both had far more influence
with the Chinese government than
Great Britain. He believed the United
States would be the greatest sufferer
by the closing of Manchuria to foreign
trade.

Felt In Washington That Integrity
OF Ottoman Empire Is Endangered.
Washington, Aug. 27.-It is feared in
official circles here that the withdrawal
Of the French ambassador from Con
stantinople marks the dissolution of
the concert of European powers under
which the integrity of Turkey was
guaranteed.
I.y the treaty of Berlin all the great
powers of Europe subscribed TO an
agreement to refrain from any act that
would tend to the destruction of the
Ottoman empire. This action was
taken to forestall what We're conceived
to be the designs of Russia to seize on
Turkish territory, and Russia herself
was led to subscribe TO the agreement

Although several times severely
strained, notably by such events as thu
last war between Turkey and Greece

amendment, but ii Is apprehended now

TICKET sOALPERs WIN.
LncLawanna's Application For an
Injunction Denied.


Injunction Denied.
Buffalo, Aug. 27.-The application OF
the Lackawanna Railroad company for
an injunction restraining 81 ticket bro
kers doing business in Buffalo from deal
ing in special Pan-American excursion
tickets issued by that road has been
denied by Judge Hazel of the United
States circuit court, and the order
granted some time ago restraining such
sale during the argument of the case
has been vacated.
The court holds that the railroad
company has the right to make special
contracts with individual purchasers OF
tickets and that the purchasers cannot
violate such contracts by selling their
tickets, and il also overrules the point
of lack Of jurisdiction raised by the de.
PENDANTS counsel. On the other hand
IL denies the application for an injnnc.
tion because the Lackawanna is a
member of the Trunk Line association
known as the pool" which combines
to fix rates in violation of the law and
therefore Is not entitled to redress in
