Ellis H. Roberts. United States treasurer,
has received word of the delivery to the
subtreasury in San Francisco of s.. $50 600
of foreign and new gold, which has been
paid for in New York. OF the total about
81 .6O0. 600 was in Australian gold coin. which
upon payment by the United States is con-
verted into American gold coin without
much delay. The remainder Of the pay
ment was in new gold received from Alaska
The treasury has agreed to pay 100000 in
New York September for that amount of
Australian gold to arrive In San Francisco
Much new gold has been received at San
Francisco during the last month and a
great deal more is expected to arrive before

Alaska In the past year seem to have been
as profitable as in past years, Judging from
treasury payments to date.

THE HALF HOLIDAY.
Decision Does Not Trouble Treasury
Department Officials.

Treasury officials are giving no consider
alton to the question of closing the de-
partment at noon each Saturday, as they
have the right to do under the decision
rendered to the Secretary of War yesterday
by Mr. McReynolds, acting attorney general.
The decision, 1t is stated. really affects the
situation of a half holiday on Saturday
mighty little. 1t merely decides that the
executive head of department is not COM
PEELED to keep his department open after
noon on Saturdays unless he desires to do
SO, but he has the authority to keep his
employees engaged as long as he thinks the
business OF the government demands. The
chances are, therefore, that most of the
government departments will continue as
they have in the past, closing at 3 o. clock
Saturday afternoons during the summer
months and running until o'clock during
the busy season.
The decision was disappointing to the
large body OF government clerks who had
given the matter some study. They be-
Heved that the law which Mr.. McReynolds
construed was mandatory and compelled
the closing Of the departments.

RosEATE FOR aRosvENoR.
Veteran Ohio Representative Will Have
Little Trouble.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
CINCINNATI, August 18.-The outcome
of the primary election last week in Hook
Ing county and the action of the Vinton
ccUlty convention indicate the unanimous
denomination of Representative Charles H.
Grosvenor next year
Gen. Grosvenor has been having some
trouble in his district. 1t is said that he
has not been getting along we'll with Sem
ator Hanna in the matter af appointments.
1t is also said that Representative Dick, as
state chairman. caused the rejection of
the Grosvenor-Sands central committeeman
from Hooking county, even after the state
convention had accepted him, and ordered
a new primary.
The Grosvenor newspaper organs in the
district said some harsh things about Col
DICK and warned him against interference
in county affairs. They did not mince
words at all, and even addressed a few re-
marks to Senator Hanna.
The primary was held as ordered, and,
though the anti-Grosvenorites took courag age
from the action Of the state chairman the
Grosvenor-Sands faction carried fifteen of
the twenty-six precincts and elected their
committeeman.
The Vinton county republican convention
was also held Saturday and adopted a reso-
luton recommending the reelection Of
Grosvenor along with Roosevelt, Hanna
and Foraker.
These two victories give Gen. Grosvenor
the following counties of his district: Ath-
ems, Meigs. Perry. Hooking and Vinton.
There has never been any serious Ques-
ton of the other twO-Ross and Fairfield
and, as the counties already on record are
more than sufficient to renominate him, II
Is not likely that any opposition will de-
velop in Ross and Fairfield.
With the question of denomination set
tied the district is safely enough republi-
can to permit Gen. Grosvenor to take
things easy between now and the time
when the delegates to the congressional
convention are to be chosen next year.

that the present scheme of districts will be
radically changed in the event the demo-
Gratis capture the legislature and that, in

know their own districts when the demo-
Gratis get through.
