Tons Of Gold Dollars.

The statement that there has Just
been counted in New York, at the
United States assay Office, the enor-
nous sum Of $765, 100000 in gold may
be visualized somewhat when this is
translated into ounces, pounds and
tons. writes Girard in the Philadelphia
Ledger. !
While it has been asserted that this
sum probably is the largest amount of
gold coin and bullion eve accumulat-
ed in one place, it is we'll to remem-
Der that only so recently as a year
ago there was said to be $500, 100000
in gold and bullion in the Russian
State bank.
The sum in New York figures out
something like this: There are up
prOximately $4,000, 900 ounces or 8,O0O,-
coo pounds or 1896 tons. The figures
are not exact.

Germany's serious internal crisis
overshadowed the pending military OPP
erations In the news Of the day.
The reports from Berlin show that
the r%eichstag has gone on strike
against the crown and the military
party, apparently in the interest of q
parliamentary system Of government.
Ihere is even a rumor although en-
tirely unconfirmed and little credited.
that Emperor William has abdicated
N favor Of his sixth and favorite son.
Prince Joachim. {
The peace clnmor is growing both in
Germany and Austria Hungary. Part Of
n trouble between the reichstag and
n governing class is over the gov
ern%rnent's persistent declination to state
Germany's peace terms on the basis of
instrumentation demanded by what now
comprises q majority block in tho
~reichstag.
The war credit bill is being held up by
this majority until the political crisis is
settled. But more serious yet is the de-
cision of the members not even to meet
meanwhile for discussion in regular
session or in committee.
Apparently the crown prince is wag-
ing a fight for control on behalf of the
militaristic interests. Chancellor Won
Bethmann-Eollweg is under fire from
The crown prince and his supporters, the
inclined to suit the heir to the throne.
On the military side, the situation
continues to bear a most encouraging
aspect for the formidable group Of ma
lions allied against the centrol powers,
this generally being taken into consid-
GRAFTON in dealing out with the situation
in Berlin and Vienna.

pest, declared:
1.-THE central point of the present

Everyone in Germany wants peace but
it is not enough to desire it, the nation
must negotiate for it. Count Czernin,

has not confined himself to mere words.
but has openly declared that we arc

One Of the prerequisite conditions OF
peace Is the characterization Of every

There Is no war policy today. but.
only a peace policy. The peace must be

Berlin, July Is, (via London, July 16.)
IL the PrusSian diet whose present
complexion is of a conservative view,

champions confidently predict victory
in the struggle wherein the monarch,
and the people are pitted against the
junkers and big industry.
