Mine Workers convention was not in ses-
sion half hour this morning. In the alb
sence of a report from the scale commit

GOLD IN THE TREASURY,
The Amount Reaches %4S2.O14,O23 and
Breaks All Rae0rda

A year ago yesterday the gold standard
law passed by Congress, went into effect.
At that time the gross gold in the Treas
ury amounted to s416, 100. Yesterday
the gross gold in the Treasury had reach
ed the enormous sum of $4S2, ,913 O23, break
ing all records to this date. The increase
in the gold holdings of the department in
the year. therefore, has been $66, 694, ,Sl4.
The prospect Is that the gold holdings will
continue to increase at the rate of prob
ably SaNoO,00O month until the new reve-
nue. law goes into effect. The amendments
to this law viii reduce the Treasury re-
ceipts about $40.00O.0O0 a year. but Treas
urer Roberts thinks that this will serve
only to check the growth Of the gold
holdings. He does not believe that the de-
crease in the receipts will diminish the
amount of gross gold, The only thing that
is likely to do this, for long time to
come, will be in the event that the Sec
retary of the Treasury decides to purchase
bonds to place in the sinking fund. The
price Of bonds, however, is still too high
to justify this purchase, and the con-
sequence is that the Treasury will con-
tinue for a long time to have it's vaults
overfiowing with gold coin and bullion.

LONDON, March ia dispatch from

DESERVING RUSSIAN SAILORS.
Denied That 1t Was Intended to Seni
Them to Siberia.

The Russian authorities have taken steps
to dispose of groundless reports to the eff
feet that those Russian sailors sent here
to man the Variag and other Russian ships
under construction would probably be sent
to Siberia in case they were recaptured
after attempting to desert. 1t has been
made clear to the officers Of the ship that
no such punishments were contemplated,
and that at most the penalty to be inflicted
would be of a disciplinary character, prob
ably few weeks Imprisonment on a diet
of black bread.
The cases Of several Of the sailors are In
the courts of Philadelphia. The comman-
der of the variag has recently been ad-
vised by Count Cassini, the Russian am
bassador here. that the latter had no OBJ
lection to any appeal which the American
counsel in the case might advise in the In
terests OF the Russian authorities The
latter are chiefly interested in seeing that
their sailors. who are bound to military
service for from four to six years. shall
not avoid this service by deserving and
taking out naturalization papers. It will
be for the commander of the variag to
finally decide whether the cases shall be
carried to the United States Supreme Court.

ARMY OFFICERS PRESENTED
INTRODUCED TO THE ASSISTANT
SECRETARY OF WAR.
Somewhat Unusual Military Demon
stratiOn at the Department-New
officials Duties.

Col. William Cary Sanger's first day in
office as assistant secretary of war, vice
Mr.. George B. Meiklejohn, resigned, was
marked by somewhat unusual military
demonstration. By order of the Secretary
of War all the officers of the army sta
ticned in this city were required to ap-
pear at the War Department at 10 o'clock
this morning in uniform, for the purpose
of being presented to the new assistant
secretary. Owing to the somewhat vague
character of the notice there was a de-
cided lack of conformity in the matter of
uniforms worn by the officers on this occa-
sion. They were simply ordered to appear
lin uniform" The consequence was that
scme wore full dress uniform with side
arms, etc, and others appeared in undress
uniform or fatigue dress without their
swords. Regardless of this incongrulty
they made fine display with their mill
tary regalia.
The uncertainty in the matter of uni
form was also due in a great measure to
the fact that army officers are seldom Or
dered out specially for such a ceremony
in the case of any official other than the
President of the United States. Hereto
fore when new Secretary or a new assist
ant secretary of war has been installed
in office there was distinction so far as
dress was concerned between the military
and the civil officials of the department at
tne presentation ceremonies. Inefe was
an exception to this. however, when Secre
tary Root was inducted into office The
war with Spain had just ended and the
army was actively engaged in putting down
the inSurrection in the Philippines Under
an order issued by eX-Secretary Alger
officers of the army at that time We're re-
quired to wear their uniforms while on
duty in the War Department and conse-
Quently there was special significance
in their being presented to the new Secre-
tary in their military attire.
This mornings ceremony occurred in the
private office of the Secretary of War the
army officers filing in singly according to
departments as named in the Army Regis
ter, and were presented by name by Adjt
Gen. COrbin, except in cases of more prom
inent officials, who were specially intro
duced by the Secretary of War himself
There were no special incidents, and the
affair passed off without undue ceremony.
Although no special assignment has yet
been made, it is assumed that Col. Sanger
will take charge of the departmental work
formerly performed by Mr.. Meiklejohn
and in that way relieve Secretary Root of
considerable portion of the routine work of
the department. The new assistant secre-
tary will have special charge of the civil
establishment of the department. including
the supervision of appointments, promo
tions, reductions, discharges, and other
changes in the strictly clerical personnel
of the department. In view of his record
as a civil service reform advocate, it is not
expected that he will recommend any
changes in the service except such as are
based on the individual efficiency records

The debate on the supplementary esti-

In anticipation of something interesting

T. the naturally conflicting interests of the
different governments, it had been possible

Harmony Preserved Thus Far
The harmony of the powers thus far had
been presered, and hope was entertained
civilized nations would suffice to overcome
the differences of opinion which had lately
become apparent in regard to matters in

The chancellor traced the deliberations
OF the powers, following which negotia-
tlonS had been entered upon. Referring
TO the punishments inflicted on the man

chancellor declared that the powers were
not actuated by thirst for blood, but by a
