NAY BE LOAN TO JAPAN.
A BIG TRANSFER OF GOLD
REPORTED.
TWENTY MILLIONS TO LEAVE NEW
YORK FOR SAN FRANCISCO,
1T is SAID.
TpY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE !

WASHINGTON. Feb 27-When it became known
to- day that application had been received by
Ellis H. Roberts. the United States Treasurer,
for permission to deposit $50 100000 in gold coin
in the Sub-Treasury at New-York City, to be
paid TO correspondents in San Francisco there
was much speculation among officials of the
government financial bureaus concerning the
possible effect that such heavy draft would
have the New-York money market, and also
as TO the purpose of the bankers requesting such
a transfer of currency officials were able TO
say the transfer would be made by the middle
Of next month, and that the money was to be
shipped to the Orient. Further than this there
was little information obtainable at the depart
ment This is the largest transfer of gold which
has ever been recorded by the officials here.
From statements from unofficial sources it is
believed that Japan has negotiated lean of
S20,000,000 with prominent brokerage firm in
Few-York City, and the amount of gold desired
for payment in San Francisco is to be sent to
that government. Faith placed in this in
formation, because it is known here that japan
has lost great deal of gold in the last two
years on account of extraordinary government
expenditures It has been just two years since
that nation adopted gold standard. For six
months her representatives have been trying to
negotiate a loan in this country it is believed.
for the purpose of strengthening her gold
signment OF S20.00O,000 would be shipped TO
China. because silver is the popular coin used in
the Celestial Empire.
Notification was received that S20,0O0,0OO of
this amount of gold was to be paid in San Fran
cisco Immediately. Only indefinite replies could
be secured from officials when asked if New
York could stand a drain of StScoO0OO in the
next fifteen sixteen days. 1t was remarked
that Secretary Shaw had authorized the state
ment TO be published that he would continue the
purchase of bonds in the month of March. But
the announcement Is merely fortunate coinci-
dence and its PRONUNCIATION at this time has no
direct bearing on the scheduled shipment OF gold
TO the Orient The privilege of buying bonds is
always a safe avenue for bankers when
stringency is in sight At least, this is what
was said at the Treasury Department to-day.
In addition to this proposed expectation OF gold
the director of the mint received word to-day
that 50 100000 in gold to be sent from
New-York this week
Officials would not permit the Sub Treasurer
to release as much as S200OO0Oo in gold from
the vaults of New-York City. But from the
governments point of view, the exchange de
sired by the New-York brokers in order to make
this shipment to the Orient is not only de
sirable but is economical and advantageous.
In the Sub Treasury at San Francisco there is
a total of $110000.0O0 in gold and surplus of
SS5 600 600 The total amount there is just one
fifth of the amount of gross gold held in the
United States Treasury.

Washington. Feb. 27.-Prince Henry Of Prus-
sia journeyed to Mount Vernon this afternoon
and placed two wreaths the tomb Of Wash
ington. He approached the grave of the hrst
President with barred head and that there might
be nothing irreverent in the ceremony he asked
the holders of a dozen cameras who stood round
to refrain from photograPhing him. The Prince
and his party taken TO Mount Vernon by
a special train over the Washington, Airing
ton and Mount Vernon Electric Railway. The
Prince at the close of the Mckinley memorial
services at the Capitol drove directly to the
special train. Two large observation cars we're
provided. and from them the Prince saw the
Long Bridge and the headiands of Northern
Virginia, historic to Americans since Colonial
DAYS. 1t was 2:30 o'clock when the train
started and the run to Mount Vernon occupied
hftytve minutes. Prince Henry walked 70 the
Washington home and was driven from there
the slope of the hill to the tomb. When
the iron gate of the tomb opened he re-
moved his cap and entered. Two large wreaths
made in Washington by his order had been sent
to the tomb. and he set them in place. group
of more than hundred men standing in the
approach to the grave uncovered, and that
with their silence. added to the spirit of solem-
nifty.
Fifty feet down the sward that falls away
from the tomb Prince Henry planted a linden
tree. The tree had been set in place before

the earth in around its roots. The Prince was
taken to the old Washington house by Super

send. of New-York He spent few minutes in
looking at the Washington relics and then de-
parted for Washington. Large crowds watched
his arrival and departure, and his course
through historic old Alexandria was lined with
people, who cheered him cordially.
Many of the people of Alexandra mistook
Lieutenant Commander Schmidt Won Schwind
for the Prince, and their error led TO an anus
ing incident There is some general resemblance
between the two and when the crowd singled
out the young naval officer and cheered him
the Prince delighted. He called Chief
Wilkie of the Secret Service. and laughingly
gave him this order:
Mr.. Wilkie. please tell Mr. Schmidt
Schwind to be very careful what he does now,
for he must remember that l have a reputation
TO sustain"
The lieutenant commander was embarrassed
by the enthusiastic attention of the crowd. and
did not thoroughly appreciate the humor of the
Prince He tried to be unConcerned, and would
neither bow nor salute in answer to the cheers.
It was 4:3O O'Clock when Washington was
reached on the return trip. and the Prince was
driven at to the German Embassy.
