BACK TO OLD SCHEDULES.
st. Louis-Kansas City Lines Now Run
ming ON Faster Time.

st. Louis Kansas City Lines Now Rum
ming on Faster Time.
All the western railroads heightened
their running time between St Louis
and Kansas City several months ago
from eight and one-half to nine hours.
Announcements were made yesterday
by the Wabash and the Missouri Pacific
& Iron Mountain system that the old
schedules, fixing an eight and one-half
hour run, will be restored today
Other st. Louis and Kansas City roads
will adopt their old running time again.
and, as a result, half an hour will be
eliminated from the present schedules.
Much faster time could be made by
most of the lines between ST. Louis and
Kansas City, but, in the interest of ALL
the distance being different by the vari-
Gus routes, the same schedule of eight
and one-ha1f hours will be maintained
on all.
1t is reported that an order of the
Missouri state railroad commission, re-
quiring the Alton-Burlington trains to
make additional stops, was indirectly
the cause of the change back to the for
mer Tina. 1t was seen that by making
all the stops necessitated the running
time was heightened too much.
In railroad circles 1T is stated, al
though the report is not confirmed, that
the Alton announced, without consult
ing the Burlington management, that it
would operate again on an eight and
one-half hour schedule. The Wabash
Immediately notified all the western
roads which had agreed on a nine hour
schedule that it would change it's run
ming time today.
Wabash train No. will leave ST.
Louis at 1904 a. m. and arrive at Kan
sas City, at 5:34 p. M, and train No.
2 will leave Kansas City at $50 p. m.
and arrive at st. Louis at 10 a. m.
Missouri Pacific train No. 1 will leave
St Louis at a. m. and arrive at Kan
sas City at $50 p. M, and train No. 2
will leave Kansas City at 1910 a. m.
and arrive at st. Louis at $40 p. m.
The Missouri Pacific management
states that, Notwithstanding reports to
the contrary, its tracks are in the best
condition and that the highest speed
can be maintained in safety. 1t insists
that the photographs and statements
of unsafe ties and rails were unjust.

More Than a Billion Held by

No Where Else Can So Large =
Percentage Be Located.

Washington. July 31.-The retiring
director of the mint. Mr.. George E.
Roberts, has been for a number of
years conducting an inquiry for the
purpose of verifying the treasury esti-
mates of the stock of gold in the
United States. or of tracing errors
therein, and today gave out the fol-
lowing summary of his conclusions:
For a number of years the treasury
estimates of the stock of gold in the
United States have been questioned by
competent students, who have be-
lieved them to be high, The amounts
reported to be in the treasury and in
national banks are not disputed, but
the large residue assumed to be in
other banks and in circulation is con-
sidered a doubtful quantity. For ex-
ample, the estimate for June 80, 1906,
was as follows:
United States treasury $SO434O.135
National banks 11S.513.2S1
National banks by Clear
ing house certificates. 69,197,OOO
Other banks and in circu-
lation .... : 80. 4so,s44,7ss

covering this phase of the subject have
been addressed to all our consular off,
Gals in foreign countries and replies
received. The reports indicate that less
coin is carried away in recent years
than formerly, but that an allowance
should be made. These losses since 1873
are estimated at 20.000.OO0.
Industrial Use.
A revised estimate of the amount con-
sumed in Industrial consumption, based
upon the more definite information OBJ
tanned in recent years, raises previous
estimates by the sum of $4,000. 900.
Summing up the deductions of $685.
600, 900 prior to 1880. $50, 600, 900 in Gus
toms entries, $25. 900 900 for the Cana
dian movement. $25.000.0 900 for industrial
consumption, and 100000 900 for the un-
recorded exports, a total of $135, COO, 900
is reached. This sum taken from
amount in other banks and in circula-
ton on June 30. 1906, would leave that
estimate at $225, 49,. 1884. Bringing the
calculation down to June 1, 1907, and
making the deductions. gives a total
stock of gold coin and bullion lin the

1t is believed that these are all of
the deductions that are warranted by
a careful review of the facts. In no
other country of the world can so large
a percentage of the estimated stock Of
