The Impending shipment of Gold To
 the Orient

Washington. March 5.-Secretary Shaw received a number of applica- tions from New York bankers asking for permission to deposit gold in the New York substreasury and withdraw equal amounts from the subtreasury at San Francisco. Although these ap- plications aggregate ill amount from $50,000.000 to S60,000,0 900, the treasury officials feel no uneasiness in conSe- quence. as it is understood the actual amount of gold needed in San Fran cisco will hardly exceed a total of S20,0o0 900, and that the applications in excess of this amount were made with view to ascertaining what the treasury would do in case the aggre- gate should reach the larger sum. Secretary Shaw will grant the re- quests for transfers so far as actual business needs require.

Explanation of Minister Leishman's Action in Relation to the
 Case of Miss Stone.
THE WAR REVENUE REPEAL MEASURE.
New York Bankers Feeling the Treasury Pulse With Regard to Shipments of Gold to the Orient The Credentials of Iowa's Scna- tors Presented.

Washington, March 5.--lt is learned of Mr. Leishman, the United States minister to Turkey, is liable to be misunderstood owing to the brevity of the cable report that he has pre- ferred demand upon Turkey in the case of Miss Stone. The understand ing here is that any action in that line that Mr. Leishman may have talk en is rather in the line of saving all future rights rather than the submis sion of an unqualified demand for the punishment of the brigands and re. payment of the indemnity given to the brigands. The same sort of d caveat either has been or will be filed with the Bulgarian government The legal effect of this action is sim ply to save all rights against either of those governments or against both of them pending the conclusion of the exhaustive inquiry which the state de- partment is making, through it's min Ister and other agents, into Miss Stones case. When that inquiry is concluded ii is expected that the de- partment will be in a position to squarely place the responsibility for the Kidnapping, and when that has been done no time will be lost in pressing the claim both for punish ment of the perpetrators of the out rage and for the repayment of the ransom. Meanwhile. acting under in- structions of the state department, Mir. Leishman will prefer no specific claim against either Turkey or Bull garia.

Close of Remarkable Case.

The death of V. A. Potts at Esau, Perry county, closes a remarkable crim- lnal case that has been in the courts several years Potts death was due to the kick of horse. In 1898 Potts, who was employed as a guard at a convict camp in Pulaski county. shot and killed Warden Giles Hudson. The trouble arose over the killing of con vict by another guard, P. Fulgum, who was exonerated on the ground of self defense Potts was indicted October 8, 1898, for murder in the first degree and his bond fixed at 5000, a change of venue taken to Perry county, where he was convicted and sentenced to serve five years in the penitentiary. A new trial was granted by the supreme court after he had served a portion of his sentence. and he was released. But the new trial never took place.

Washington, March 5.-The house bill for the repeal of the war revenue bill and for the removal of the duty on tea, received it's first considera- tion at the hands of the senate com mittee on finance. and when the com mittee adjourned members expressed the opinion that the measure would be favorably reported after one or two more sittings. No opposition was expected to the measure as whole, but the time of the meeting was given over to discussion of the features of the bill, and the probable effect of it's enactment into law upon the finances of the country.

D,oush >ufferors StiIi in Need.

Notwithstanding contributions of money and food already donated the drouth sufferers of the northwestern counties are still greatly in need. The citizens of the afflicted territory are among the most industrious in the state, and their present distress is not due to any fault of their own. In each county affected committees com- posed of thoroughly responsible par ties will distribute any funds or pro- visions sent them. seeing to it that none but those actually worthy and in need receive assistance.

contains more real stiff starch than John
son had ever pictured. This year will be
an expensive one for both leagues, but the
National will come out a winner and will
again be the peer of baseball organizations.
The National Association Of Minor Base
ball Leagues, of which Pat Powers is presi-
dent, will lose much of it's alleged strength
since A. G.. Spalding has been forever dis
carded by the National League. This asso
citation has adopted rules regarding players
that are a disgrace TO any organization.
and while there were probably many who
believed it would have the strength TO carry
out it's plans with a. q. Spalding at the
head of the major league, there are scarce
ly a few that believe the association will
have any prestige at all with Spalding out
of the presidential chair. The players who
foolishly jumped their contracts to accept
hattering offers with clubs under the ban
of the national association only 10 place
themselves in a position TO be subjected
to "A fine of $1,000 if they played with any
league not recognized by that organiza-
ton will have their folly brought wildly
before them much sooner than expected. II
is now certain the Western and Eastern
leagues especially will have rows to hoe
that will be full of the worst obstacles
baseball organizations ever met in the way
of snags. There are hard times ahead for
q few men in baseball.
