YACHTsMEN'S BODIES FOUND.
Seddens and Hinrichs We're Lost In Lest
Sundays Stern In Lower Bay.

The bodies Of G. F. A. Hinrichs and
Marshall H. Seddens, the young Brooklyn
Yacht Cub members who disappeared
from their gasolene launch Thetis on Sun
day. were found yesterday morning. The
finding Of Seddens's body gave rise to a
shortlived theory that his death was due
perhaps to shooting.
Seddenss body was found floating in
the Narrows yesterday morning by Capt
John Benjamin OF the United States tug
Nimrod. Under the dead mans chin were
two small holes, which were at first taken
for bullet holes, but which, II turned out.
had probably been made by sharp stake
or something else in the water.
George A. Carman, a fisherman, found
Hinricl SIS body of Rockaway Inlet, and
towed it to Canarsie. Apparently nothing
Hinrichs was the son Of the late c. F. A.
Hinrlchs, an importer, and the nephew
Of Frederic W. Hinrichs, a prominent
Brooklyn lawyer. Seddens was the last
representative OF his mothers and fathers
families. He will DO buried at Newport,
Ky. Both young men we're employed in
the Office OF c. l.. Harrison, engineer of
the Pennsylvania Railroads tunnel here.
Seddens g father. after seeing his sons
body, said yesterday:
y do not know whether his mother will
survive this shock. We have been buoyed
up by the hope that the boys had been
picked up by an outgoing, vessel, hoping
children; but they were infants, while
Marshall was great companion to his
mother. So far as can be ascertained the
last seen Of the boys in their launch Thetls
was when they were in the channel on
Sunday morning making for the ,passage
between Swinburne and Staten islands.
Secretary Kelley of the Brooklyn Yacht
Club, who had tried to persuade them not
to venture out owing to the heavy sea that
was running, watched them through spy
glass from the veranda Of the clubhouse.
He had to step inside the clubhouse quar-
ters, which are at Bensonhurst for a mo-
ment and when. he returned the launch
was not visible. He and others supposed
that it had got into the lee Of Swinburne
Island 1t has been suggested that a

launch, but just where it overturned no

Hinrichs's mother was not told Of the
finding of his body. az it was feared the
news might kill her

DRAIN on BANK OF ENGLAND
Reserve Is Over o. 100000 Less Now
Than IL Was . Year Ago.
Special Gable Despatch to THE Sun.

Special Gable Despatch to THE SUN.
LONDON. Sept. 5.The unusual step
taken by the directors of the Bank Of Eng
land in raising the rate Of discount a
full point to per cent IN the first week OF
September is a prompt admission that
the financial situation in Europe is almost
as abnormal. though for entirely different
reasons, as the monetary position in New
York.
The Bank Of England has to-day a stock
Of coin and bullion fully ten million dollars
less than it had year ago, while the re-
serve is down nearly seven and half mil
lion dollars. In that condition the bank
has to satisfy heavy demands from the
Continent of Europe. Germany is by far
the heaviest withdrawer of coin, and the
drain of bullion toward Berlin is likely
to continue until the balance OF the
Is, 00O,O 900 owed by the British Govern
ment for the Netherlands -Transvaal Rail
way is fully paid Scarcely ten million
dollars OF this obligation has been dis
charged up to the present time.
Germany's national requirements are,
however, of a far wider and more interest,"
ing character Her imperial revenue has
lately fallen short Of her expenditure, and
there is reluctance to bridge over the gap
by calling on the separate German States
for increased contributions. The Econo-
mist to-day points out that such course
might cause political complications. and
it is thought preferable to wait until
new and higher customs tariff is in force
and the revenue thereby increased.
Meanwhile the Government has plans
for furnishing the army with new artillery
and rifles and for increasing the navy. to
carry through which the Government
prefers to res rt to large new loans rather
than to impose fresh taxation. The Bank
Of Germany is now preparing to finance
these loans, doing so both by enlarging
its own resources and by attracting to home
interests German capital now employed
In England and other countries.
Besides this outward movement. the
demand for gold for Egypt will be ex-
ceptionally heavy, in ort'er to finance the
excellent cotton crop Shipments of gold
to the United States, though not yet begun,
are only postponed. Altogether, financial
houses are abundantly justified in ex-
pecting that the drain on the Bank of
Englands resources will be exceptionally
severe toward the end of the year

COAL ROADS AND THE CENSUS.
Director North Does Not Believe the
Roads VIII Refuse to Make Returns.

WASHINGTON. Sept 5.-Director North
of the Census Bureau to-day issued state
ment in regard to the failure of certain
coal companies to furnish the information
called for by the census schedules, saying
that the Census 0 lice did not believe that
the coal companies would insist upon a
refusal to comply with the requirements
Of the law. He admitted to Sun reporter
that there has been some delay on the part
of some of the coal companies in making
returns upon the schedules sent out by
agents OF the Census o !Iice, and he thought
the Census Office might meet with some
difficulty in securing complete returns.
He did not think, however, that there would
be any difficulty because Of any hostile
attitude of the coal companies, and ex-
planned that owing to the coal strike last
fall and the unsettled conditions resulting
it would not be an easy matter for the
coal companies TO gather the information
desired Some returns had been made.
but Director North would not say what
companies have not up TO the present time
complied with the Census Bureaus request.
his statement follows

tain that some OF the larger anthracite
coal companies not only have failed to

the director admits, but that they do not

of the Census Bureau are anxious at this
