1ne steer boxes, with their precious
contents, as they are carted down
from the ship to the wharfS might
from their appearance contain only or
binary merchandise. If any unusual
precautions be taken, however, it is
during the brief moments that the
boxes with their millions are lying Oh
the pier waiting to be lifted into the
wagons and carted away. Then they
are watched by good many pairs OF
eyes, and not stranger is allowed to
approach anywhere near them.
The final act of the purchase of gold
differs in times of panic and at ordl-
nary times. In times of panic, when,
the necessity for gold is SO great that
every moment is precious, its real val
ue In relieving situation comes only
when it is piled high on the counters
of the banks and trust companies
awaiting the demands of the creditors
of those institutions.
The gold that arrives in bars goes
direct to the assay Office. Before any
attempt is made to analyZe it and as
certain its real value the purchaser re-
ceives a certified check from the as
sayer for 90 per cent of the value sup
posed to be contained in the bars. The
check can be converted into cash I'M
mediately, and the delay of two or
three days necessary to make q COM
plete assay of the shipment is avoided.
Whatever additional sum is due the
purchaser after the assayer's report is
made he receives in a day or two
Much the same process so far as ex-
pediency is concerned is gone through
with the gold coins. They, instead OF
going to the assay Office, go direct to
the subtreasury. Each bag Is weighed
unopened and if found to tip the
scales at 500 ounces $4,000 in cash is
Immediately advanced. That process
saves many hours, for each bag has to
be opened, the coins assorted into their.
several denominations, counted and
weighed for loss from abrasions. Aft
er that is done the money is returned
to bags containing $4,000 each, and the.
balance due the purchaser, whatever
it may be, is forwarded to him.
The only other class Of gold shipment
that has to be handled is that Of for
eign gold coins They are not even
counted, but are placed Immediately in
| a crucible, melted and then sent to the
assay Office where they are treated as
were the gold bars. The extra time
| necessary to secure actual American
money for the gold coins of foreign ma
tons is the chief reason for the small
amount of gold imported in that form.
AS between shipping gold in coin or
bars there is little difference. It is
said that the motion Of the ships causes
loss of about 5000 in every shipment
Of 100000. 1t is a fact, however,
that the coins do lose considerably
more in weight than the bars.-New

GOLD ABROAD.
Methods Employed In Its Pur-
chase and Shipment.
NOT A COMPLEX TRANSACTION
The Simple System by Which Foreign
Bullion or Coin Arriving by Ship In
New York Is Turned Into American
Money-The Loss by Abrasion.

Buying $1o,0OO,OOO worth of gold
from the Bank of England, says the
cashier of the subtreasury in New
York, is no more conplex a trans
action, than buying piece of real
estate. Whatever difference there is
in the two is in favor of the gold pur-
chase. In it you are pretty sure to get
the value of your money.
Much Of the gold bought by the large
banking houses of New York and other
American cities is purchased from the
Bank of England or the Bank of
France. Its purchase is arranged for
by the English OF French agents of the
bank that wishes to secure the gold.
The price that will have to be paid de-
ponds largely upon the demand. In
panic times, when every dollar of gold
that can be secured is being eagerly
sought by bankers here, the price is as
high as ) and per cent
The shipment of the gold is accom-
panied by comparatively few extra
precautions. An extra detective or
two from Scotland Yard, perhaps, and
as many other private detectives en-
ployed by the Bank of England fur
nish all the protection needed.
All gold imported into this country
comes in one of two forms It is either
| in gold bars or in coin. If in coin it is
usually American money that has been
sent abroad in some previous year, for
comparatively small amount of for
F., eign gold coin is brought here. Whether
| in bar or coin, however, it is all ship
ped i'll small steel cases The bars are
| of an exact length, so as to permit
! them being packed tightly in the cases
| while the coins are in bags, irrespec
| tive of denomination, that hold just
i 500 ounces.
| The arrival of gold laden ship al
her pier in the North river is no diff
| ferent, SO far as precautions for the
gold itself are concerned, from that OF
! any other vessel. There are always
government officials. city police and
private detectives to meet each ship
and the arrival of boat with $4,000
600 in gold aboard will result in nc
more than one or two extra men being
present to ride on the wagons carrying
the gold away from the pier.

DOES IT PUT him IN THE RACE
New York World Interview With
Governor Johnson Consi-
dered Significant.
Politicians Generally Regard it as
a Formal Announcement.
Principles Advocated Which are
Bound to Prove Popular.

When the New York World came
out Friday with a four-column inter-
view with Governor Johnson of Min
nesota, airing his views on nearly
every important question in which the
public is interested, politicians in
Washington and elsewhere were quick
TO interpret the statement and its pub
LEGATION as in reality a formal an
nouncement of the Minnesota man S
candidacy for the presidency.
Whether the politicians have as
sumed correctly or not remains to be
seen, but this much is certain-J ohm
sons views are bound to prove popu-
ar.
To begin with the governor declares
emphatically for tariff reform, claim
ing that it hits at the root of the trust
problem; he urges the protection OF
state rights and the dangers of cen
tralization of government; he opposes
the plans for federal Incorporation,
federal supervision and federal regu-
lation Of corporations and announces
that while he believes the time is not
ripe for government ownership Of rail
roads, the opposition of the roads to
government regulation and control
may result in widespread govern
ment ownership movement.
In reply to the question, "What
must the Democratic party do towin?''
Gov. Johnson said:
cit must first of all adopt plat
form with tariff as the paramount,
dominant issue. The Democratic par
ty has won twice on that issue-its
only victories in fifty years-and on
that issue it can win again.
''Secondly, the platform must be one
which will appeal to the intelligent
business men of the country. When I
use the term business men, [ mean
every man that has dollar invested
in makingshis own livelihood, whether
it be 81, 900 in farm, SIS, 900 in store,
$40, 1000 in law books and a legal edu-
cation, or $4,000 in factory.
THE party with such platform
should then turn to the selection OF
candidates, and here the principle OF

Chess and War.

The origin of chess is shrouded in
mystery. There is little doubt, how
ever, that its birthplace was in India
and that it is an offspring Of a game
called chaturanga, which is mentioned
in oriental literature as in use fully
200 years before the Christian era.
From India chess spread into Persia
and thence into Arabia, and ultimately
the Arabs took it into Spain and the
rest of western Europe. The game
was in all probability invented for the
purpose of illustrating the art of wal.
The Arab legend upon this point is that
it was devised for the instruction Of a
young despot by his father, a learned
Brahman, to teach him that a king
Notwithstanding his power was depend
ent for safety upon his subjects. The
Greek historians credit the invention
of the game to Palamedes, who, they
claim, devised it to beguile the tedium
of the siege of Troy during the Trojan
war.

A BROKEN CUP.
Tho Way a Queen Saved an Old Serv
ant From Dismissal.

Tho Way a Queen Saved an Old serv.
ant From Dismissal.
A charming story is told of the for
mer queen regent Of Holland, the moth
er Of Queen Wilhelmina. The old king
had bought a fine service Of Sevres
porcelain for the use Of the royal fami-
~, and he gave orders that any serv-
ant who should break any piece Of it
should be punished by being instantly
dismissed. One day a man who had
been many years in the royal house
hold confessed to the young queen that
he had broken one of these Sevres
cups. Queen Emma spoke comfort
ingly to him and suggested that he
should mend the cup. That, said the
man, would be useless, for the king
would surely notice the cracks. Nev-
ertheless the queen told him to mend
the cup as neatly as possible and to be
sure to give it to her that afternoon at
tea time, when the king would be pres
ent. Tea time came, and the queen,
after drinking from the mended cup,
suddenly rose and let it fall to the
floor. 1t was smashed to atoms.
"Think of me as one Of the most
awkward of your majesty's servants
she said humbly. Il have broken one
OF your precious Sevres cups. You must
dismiss me at once. I don't deserve to
be retained in your SERVICE" The arbi-
trary old king was highly amused at
her demure manner and considered the
matter Il good joke. He never knew
the true story Of the broken cup.
