Washington, D. C., Sept. 13.— The
announcement that New York banks
had deposited *2,400,000 in gold with
the promise of a considerable addition
to th t amount was quite as much a
surprise at the Treasury Department as
the* earlier news of the withdrawal of
#4,500,000.
This prompt action of the banks was
favorably commented upon and the feel
ing es depression and anxiety that per
vaded the department this morning have
given place to one of confidence. Even
those who by reason of their long ex
perience are best able to judge of the
situation express themselves at a loss to
account for the continued and apparently
increasing demands for gold. Never be
fore in the history of the department,
they say, has the financial condition of
the country contained so many contra
dictory elements, and nevar before have
the officials been unable to give an in
telligent forecast of what was likely to
aesult from the then existing conditions.
At this time, they add, everything seems
going counter to the general expectation.
Several months ago it was stated that
the supply of whiskey withdrawn from
bond just prior to the anticipated in
crease in the internal revenue tax was
about exhausted and that the next few
weeks would see a material increase in the
revenues from that source. This in
crease, however, has fallen far below ex
pectations, with no immediate prospect
of an advance. The receipts from cus
toms sources were also confidently ex
pected to advance at a rapid rate It
was argued that that stocks of merch
andise throughout the country were
practically exhausted and that of neces
sity importations would show a marked
im’provemeiit. It Was predicted also that
as the canning season appeared the sugar
importations would add materially to
the receipts and yet none of these
expectations has been fully real zed.
Though the receipts from internal reve
nue aud customs show some improve
metA, there is a wide difference between
the actual figures and the confident ex
pectations of the officials.
Whether the anticipated cotton and
grain shipments will relieve the situation,
so far as gold exportations are concerned,
remains to be seen. The amount of the
exportations of gold during the last
twenty months is unprecedented. Since
Jauuary 1, of last year, the gold coin
and bullion exported from the United
States aggregate about #169,884,300,
while the importations during the name
period amount to only #48,813,500, which
leaves the excess of exports over imports
about #120,470.800.
Poller on a Bond-Issue.
Toi'Ek a, Kan., Sept. 13.—“1f another
issue of bonds is made without the au
thority of Congress, I shell) .dvise their
repudiatiou,’’ said Senator Pcffer to-day,
speaking about the probability of another
bond issue to an Associated Press re
porter.
Sena c r Pc e has kept his eye on the
figures which tell of the condition of the
gold reserve. None have watched it
sliding down below the #100,000,000
mark more anxiously than he. It was
he who objected very emphatical y in the
I'sited States Senate when the first and
subsequent bond issues were made.
“I considered the bond issue fraudu
leiP,vod I have not changed my position
sinoe then. 1 still think that the gov
erumeut Las no authority to issue bonds
without the concurrence of Congress,' 1
said he.
“I am satisfied that there will be
another bond issue before October 1,
because the syndicate has been
given the privilege of taking all the
bonds issued before then. There is only
one thing which may prevent a bond
issue, and that is the fear that they will
weaken the Democratic strength. They
are making heroic efforts to strangle the
free siiv- r sentiment in all the States,
aud have to a considerable extent suc
ceeded. Look how they squelched it in
Kentucky, Arkansas and lowa, and
nearly all the other States where tests
have beeu made. They are c impelling
the silver rneu to go outside tl.e Demo
cratie party if they desire i® ad he; o to
tba 1 principle.
“The leaders think that voters can be
whipped into line, and if they find cut
that ih e.-u. then lookout for another
bond i si’f; • more < .tetober Ist. The pec
p’c will oe n e>: all f hry will stand and
n > questions are supposed to be asked.
At ine last session of Congress I was
calied impertinent b- f> ause I asked to
have the rami',-, of the bond purchas
ers made pu’.ie. If there be an
other bmd issue witaoet authority of
Congress I intend to introduce a resolu
tion" advising the repudiation of the
bonds They w*»re issued without au
thority art are fraudulent, and the
people should not be compel.ed to pay
them. This may not sound well, but
there is no use of allowing the people to
be imposed upon any longer.”
“When the first bond isr j was pro
posed Secretary Carlisle c no to both
Houses of Congress ami <■ h d leigsla
t.hc authority fJr the is'u ■. He went so
far as to prej . ■ a bid f-'r the purpose
and presented it t:> the committee of
both the Sen; e and H .use. Congress
refusing to act, <* Secretary gave no
tice that if he v .re r t authorized by
special act he would i‘sue bonds with
out utch authority, and he did so. I
called aiLt.nt'ou to those facts at the
time; charged that these bonds were
issued illegally, aud also introduced a
resolution instructing the judiciary
committee of the Senate to examine aud
report whether the Secretary had such
authority under existing law, and the
committee did not report because they
knew there was no such law.”
Almost a Black Friday.
New York, S9pt. 13 —This day was
an exciting one, and for a time bid fair
to be a critical one in the financial fie d,
so that many feared that it might pass
into history as a smaller edition of a
certain black Friday of years ago. But
to-night the disturbing elements are bet
ter understood, and the outlook for the
Treasury and the maintenance of its gold
reserve is comparatively clear.
Uncertainty as to the indication of the
government syndicate to maintain the
reserve at the contury mark, and as to
its ability to do so had disturbed the
monied interests increasingly throughout
the week. A crisis was reached this morn
ing when announcement was made that
the firm of Hazard Freres, which is a
member of the bond syndicate had en
gaged two and a half millions of gold
for shipment. This announcement natu
rally gave rise to the impression that the
syndicate had withdrawn from its con
trolling position behind the throne, and
it sent quotations tumbling in Wall
street, besides starting stories that the
syndicate had dissolved, that a bond
issue was imminent and that the Treas
ury would fast drift back to its old posi
tioo of the dark days of last wiater.
Before the afternoon had passed, sev
eral of the city banks had come to the
aid of the sub treasury with deposits of
goli made in exchange for greenbacks,
explanations had been made by mem
bers of the syndicate and the firm which
started tne panic, and quiet restored
when the monied institutions closed their
doors for the day.
The gold deposits make by the banks
will offset the shipments of to morrow 7 .
The Hanover National Bank set example
with a deposit of #500,000. Tnat made
#3,400,000 in gold that the Hanover
Bank has paid in, President Howard
said, since the last loan was made. The
American Exchange National Bank of
Commerce followed with another #200,000
With reference to this deposit, President
Sherman said that the #200,000 repre
sented one third of his bank's gold hold
ings. and that if all the banks contribut
ed gold in the same propertion there
would be no further difficulty.
Tne National City Bank is credited
with an intention to deposit a half mil
lion or double that amount; It is ex
pected in banking circles that the de
posits of gold by the banks for green
backs will reach $6,000,000 this week.
The known shipments to Europe to-raor
row- will be: #2,500,000,by Hazard Freres;
#1,000,000, by Wm. H. Crossman & Bro ;
$600,000 by Hoskier, Wood & Co.;
$200,000 by Hard & Rand, and SIOO,OOO
by Nesalage & Fuller, while Handy &
Harman will forward between $150,000
aud $200,000. This will make a total
for the week of $7,200,000, the largest
weekly outflow on rocord, except the
$7,700,000 sent abroad in one week last
January, when the drain upon the re
serve reached its highest tide.
The Bond Syndicate “Explains.”
Explanations of the position of the
bond syndicate toward the Treasury of
the reasons impelling Hazard Freres to
combat the policy of bis colleagues were
secured by the Associated Press. The
following statement was authorized by
the bond syridica’e to night:
“The impression has become general
that the members of the bond syndicate
entered into an agreement with
the United States Treasury to maintain
the $100,000,000 reserve until October 1,
prox . and that upon that date said ob
ligation will cease. Such is not the case.
“The bond syndicate fulfilled all its
obligations to the government in June
last aud has not since been bound in any
way to the Treasury. It is true that it
has from time to time since last June
paid over various sums in gold coin to
the Treasury which have sufficed to
maintain the reserve, but it has done so
voluntarily an : will continue so to do on
the same spirit and for the save motive.
“So far as October 1, is concerned it
has no relation to the action of the bond
syndicate, and it will continue to de
posit gold until November 1, and De
cember 1, and January 1, if necessary,
and if existing conditions make it
feasible to do so* But neither the bond
syndicate nor any one else can control
tb-.j elemeuts But the idea that its re
lations 10 the Treasury situation will be
any different on or after October 1, from
what they are now and have been all
RALEIGH, N. C., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER >4, 1895
along, is erroneous and should be cor
rected.”
J. Pierpont Morgan, the head of the
bond syndicate, spoke reassuringly of the
outlook to a representative of the Asso
ciated Press. He said; “The bond syn
dicate is still in the field. There shall be
no rupture. The syndicate will continue
to do all that it can to help maintain the
treasury gold reserve at $100,000,000.
The obligation of the syndicate expired,
however, some time ago.”
Mr. Morgan expressed surprise at the
slow movement of the cotton crop aud
the present scarcity of the bills against
bread-stuffs. He said that undoubtedly
the offering of these bills would be daily
increased in the next few weeks and thus
be a safeguard against exports.
IgThe following statement was made
in writing by Messrs. Hazard Freres :
“Hoping that bills of exchange
against merchandise exports would come
in the market in fair amounts during the
first half of September, we continued
for a long time to supply our customers
with bills of exchange for which we
could not at the time find cover. A
combination of circumstances leaves the
market bare of commercial bills and
makes necessary the shipment of gold
to cover part of the accumulated indebt
edness and to continue supplying the
daily demands of the trade.”
“The reasons for these conditions are
in part the late cotton crop and the slow
movement thereof by Europe holding
large quantities of cotton at cheap
prices, and its indisposition to buy freely
at quotations now ruling. Further
reasons are the poor demand for our
wheat aud the low prices it brings, and
the cheapness of money at the centre,
which makes it undesirable for European
bankers to increase their loanable funds
here.”
In reply to questions, a member of the
firm said he desired to state that there
was no special significance in the ship
ment of gold but it had to go to meet a
temporary emergency, and that with the
moviDg of the cottou crop in a few weeks
the whole difficulty would adjust itself.
Real Estate Chiefly Benefltted by Good
Roads.
Special to the News and Observer.
Washington, D. C., Sept. 13.
The makers of the road law were for
getful of one material fact. They for
got that the making of good roads re
dounds to the advantage of the owners
of real estate almost exclusively. It is
true that the merchants are benefitted,
also, since it facilitates intercourse; but
the great benc-ficiaries are the owners
of the land. If one hundred thousand
dollars were expended in making good
roads in Wake county, the effect would
be to double the value of real estate. It
is but right, therefore, that real estate
should pay for the improvement of the
roads. So far as non land holders are
con.erned, the effect would be to make
it more difficult for them to buy homes
It would double the cost.

The report of the committee on pen
sions says:
“We demand for our comrades the
just dues which the country gladly con
cedes. No niggardly cutting down of
pensions under the guise of re issues; no
partial and grudging allowances that cut
here and there will meet with the full
measure of duty that the country owes to
its surviving heroes. Nothing short of full
measure, dealt with an honest hand, a
liberal host will ever meet with approba
tion of the American people. For this
we appeal to the grateful, patriotic sen
timent of the whole people, and we ear
nestly believe that our appeal will not be
in vain;
“Receding from no position that we
have heretofore taken, reaffirming all
our previous declarations on the subject,
we specially demand a liberal and just
construction of the laws passed for the
benefit of the pensioner to the end that
his declining years may not be har
rassed with doubts born of distrusts
or difficulties thrown around him by a
rigorous or restricted construction of
the lows passed in tbe past to relieve his
condition. ’’
The report was unanimously adopted.
Commander-iu-Chief I. N. Walker
read the report and was frequently in
terrupted by applause.
The following were among those

BLOOD IN ALABAM A.
Col# Troy, a Recent Populist, Advises
Force at the Polls Under Certain
Circumstances.
Birmingham, Ala., Sept. 13 Col. D.
S. Troy, one of the leading lawyers of
the State who recently joined the Popu
list party in the interest of honest elec
tions and free silver as he said, and
whose plan for an honest election aud
free silver convention to meet iu Bir
mingham, November 13, next, was
adopted by the Populists, is out iu a two
column article, in the State organ of the
Populists, which makes interesting read
ing.
CcL Troy endeavors to explain under
what circumstances the use of force at
voting places would be legal aud justifi
able. He regards the williul refusal of
the county officials to have on the board
of election inspectors an intelligent rep
resentative of the opposition, whenever
practical to do so, as sufficient
evidence of fraudulent purpose to
debauch the elective franchise; and an
honest law abiding citizen, he asserts,
has the same right to prevent elections
being held by them as he has to prevent
any other violation of the law in his
presence. He thinks that under these
circumstances whatever force is neces
sary to stop the election should be used,
even though blood has to be shed.

English Opinion of the Yacht Bae°»
London, Sept. 13 —The conclusion of
the international yacht race for the
America’s cup furnishes the text for
articles iu all the London afternoon
newspapers. Ia general, tire press up
holds Lord Duuraveu in his refusal to
sail over the course yesterday without a
guarantee that it would be clear or
excursion steamers aud other craft.
Iu a leader, the Pall Mall Gazette, says
that the result is unfortunate and that
it will deplored quite as deeply by sports
men in America as by the same cla-s iu
England.
In its yachting column the Pall Mall
Gazette says: “While in our opinion De
fender, under fair conditions, would
probably have beaten Valkyrie in at
least three out of five races, we cannot
but regret that Valkyrie had no chance
of sailing under fair conditions. To say
that Defender worthily retained the cup
would be ridiculous.”
The Evening News says that the whole
business is in the highest degree dis
creditable t® the reputation of Ameri
cans as true sportsmen.
The Westminister Gazette says:
“Os course we all love our America.i
friends very much, but our newspapers
beg to assure them that we all cordially
support Lord Dunraven’s retiring in
disgust in a contest requiring so mn ;b
rowdiness and unfairness.”
