DEMONSTRATION
GROWING SERIOUS
Anxiety Appears in Congress
and Party Circles.
GOLD IS STEADILY DECLINING
Many Fear that Another Bond Issue
Is Inevitable 10 Bolster Up the
Fund-FOrce of Clerks Inadequate
to Garry on the Work in the
Redemption Department.

That the government may before long
issue bonds to get gold IS a fear now Ell
tertsined IN some quarters IN Washing
ton.
Strong anxiety is felt in certain Con-
gressional and administration circles
with reference TO recent developments in
the Treasury situation. The immediate
cause for alarm is found in the steady
decline~of the gold on hand in the gen
eral fund.
The situation is the result Of complex
factors. National bank notes in the gen
eral fund after being reduced 10 little
more than S2O.0O0.00o have now risen TO
81. 600 and have been even higher al
times within the recent past
Force Is Inadequate.
Although the Treasury is working hard
TO send the notes home to their issuers.
the force available for this purpose is
wholly inadequate. and at times il has
seemed as If the department would be
flooded with notes 1t Is not generally
known thatNquite lately both Secretary
Cortelyou and Treasurer Treat have vis-
tied the House authorities for the purpose
Of urging them 70 provide adequate force
for the redemption process
The attempt has been largely futile, only
a very slight increase being accorded
Should there be another month OF the
same pro rata decrease in gold and in
crease in notes. the effect would Be TO
practically wipe out the free gold now
available and leave the department no
means OF replacing in the reserve fund
such gold as might be withdrawn from
It through the presentation Of greenbacks
for redemption
Gold Payments Withdrawn
mother factor which has been effective
in depicting the available gold funds has
been the direct withdrawal OF a number
OF large gold payments for which It has
been asked Il is positively asserted at
the department that these Withdrawals
have been wholly in the natural course
OF affairs and indicate no Uneasiness or
doubt Of the situation
Among financiers the banking situation
appears too strong 10 admit Of any such
fears This is undoubtedly the fact. but
the Withdrawals show how the depart
ment is compelled to supply gold 10 meet
ali demands as has been true at various
periods in the past. The accumulation
Of silver certificates, amounting now to
S24, ,00o,000 and Of silver, coin and bullion,
OF over SI1,O00,O00. IS another complicating
factor in the problem
The banks, in paying in the deposits
that have been called. are turning IN a
miscellaneous lot Of funds. much Of Il
being silver or notes. AS the surplus de-
clines and the department grows weaker.
the natural tendency IS away from gold
payment 10 II
The opinion Of some Of the shrewdest
observers Is that Secretary CortelyOu's s
successor. whoever he may be. VIII have
q difficult administration until an efTec-
tive new revenue law has been put into
operation Nr. CorteIyou VIII undoubt-
edly do bis best 70 put the department
into as strong q condition as possible
before leaving it, but the general state
Of affairs is beyond any head Of the de-
partment to control.

Neu Financing Plans

The action Of the Norfolk and Western
Railway Company in taking steps to con
vert its floating debt into funded debt
fifteen months before the date Of matur-
ity Of the collateral notes suggests e
species Of financing which IS likely to be-
come a feature OF the bond market for
the rest Of the year. The main reason
for retirement OF these shOrt-term obliga-
tons so far in advance Of maturity is
found in the high rate Of interest they
bear compared with the present low rate
OF money and the willingness OF the pub
lie to take lower-rate bonds Of the lead

Curfous Device which Automatic

A watch. on the principle of a stop
watch, TO indicate the number Of pulse
beats per Minute, has recently been in
vented and is expected TO be Of great use
TO physicians and nurses. A push button
is pressed at the beginning Of the count

Still another push on the button brings
