Gold Withdrawals on the Increase The Vesuvius Worthless as a Cruiser The Marbleheadto ko on a Liong Cruise. Washington. Dec. 7. The treasury lost by withdra wals of gold yesterday in Ne wj York, Boston ind Philadelphia $1,700,000, making a total loss in two days of 3.300,000. jNearly all of the gold was paid; out for United States notes. This continued withdrawal, which began ten days ago, in driblets, has now as i sumed ljarger proportions, and has reduced the gold reserve to below 109,000,000j. The naval board on construction his de cided, after several months consideration, not to recommend the alteration of the dvnamite gunboat Vesuvius into 'a Cruiser, but to continue that vessel in the service as she is now. An act of the last session of Congress authorized the transformation, but the jboard has concluded that, insdmuch a3 the cpangesi would cost 45.000 andj would be a doubtful expendiency, further trial of the boat as a dynamite thrower is advisable. The majority of the board are of the opinion that the vessel is useful onlv for destroying derelict"! and for despatch purposes, her thin plating being vulnerable to rapid gun! fire at much greater range than her own pneuma tic guns!.

A piece of timber 12 by 12 inches ancl 14 feet long was laid on thetrack parallel with and between the rails. The engine and the mail, baggage and first class cars passed over. A Bleeper's trucks caught it up and dragged it for a mile, until it reached the oil mill switch, one miie below here, where the trucks of tha sleeper were turned crosswise on the track, tearing it up for several hundred yards.

COMMERCIAL NEWS. - Stock and Bonds in New York: The Grain and Provision Markets . of Chicago. New Yokk, Dec. 7. While the trading in American Sugar was again on an enormous seale to-day, the sales footing up nearly 187,000 shares, the stock did not monopolize speculative attentton by any meansTraders had something else to talk about, the de velopments in Washington in the matter of the proposed amendment in the Inter State Commerce law so as to permit pooling having not only furnished operators with a fresh topic for discussion, but created quite a bullish sentiment in railway stocks as well. The impression here is that Congress will certainly modify the law in this re spect, and this belief off set the proposed export of $1,250,000 gold, and the further rise in Sterling exchange. Brokers usually representing big bear opera tors rare heavy buyers of railway issues throughout the day. Business was also better distributed, and the demand was quite general. The rise in the railway list ranged from i to 2i per cent. American Sugar was even more active than of late. The stock opened at 87 to 88, rose- to 91f, and ciod at 91f. The rise was due partly to the decision of the directors not to issue a statement on the condition of the industry, generally admitted, to be unf avorable, and partly to the refusal of the Senate caucus to take up tariff matters at this session. Some of the buyiog was traced to inside sources. Chicago Gas was in better request among the Industrials and advanced to 723. In theinactivestocKs.Pittsburgand Western, preferred, rose to 33i to 33. New Haven brought 195. against 190i the last reported sale. Minnesota Iron, which was recently offered down to 40, with the best bid at 20, to-day sold at 40. The last transaction at the board before to-day waf at 50. Net changes show gains of i to '45 per cent., Sugar leading. The sales were heavy, amounting to 387,237 shares. The bond market was unusually active 'and strong. The sales of listed stocks aggregated 185,000 shares; unlisted, 202,000. ' Chicago Dec. 7. In wheat to-day the tendency" was lower, prices, however, keep ing within narrow range "and being sup ported in the main by holders of puts. The principal weakening factor was the failure of Liverpool to recognize the late recovery of American markets of yesterday, quota tions from the leading English point being id lower at the opening. The opening was lower than yesterday's close by lc, and at no time during the session did prices suc ceed in passing the starting point on the up grade. Cash wheat was steady. The buying side of corn grew in popu larity to-day. There were several reasons for this. The receipts were 100 cars lees than was expected. Liverpool was up a trifle. The withdrawals from store were heavy and the weather was wet where dry weather was wanted. Cash corn was firm " without es sential change in price. The trade in oats was quiet and devoid of interest. Prices held well and at the close showed a shadow of improvement. The strength of corn was the main prop to values. Cash oats were steady. A prominent scalper in provisions evinced much anxiety to advance prices to-day, the general belief being that he was long and would feel better satisfied if he could dis pose of his holdings to some slight advan tage. The bog market did not show much change, and provisions coincided with the steady feeling. The trade was narrow and restricted and prices held within prescribed limits. The close was 2Jo under yesterday for January pork. a shade lower for January lard, and 2i to 5c lower for January ribs. OUR REPRESENTATIVES WHAT WAS DONE AND SAID IN THE HOUSE YESTERDAY.

His fame 'rests chiefly on his scheme to pierce the Isthmus of Suez by means of a canal, which was opened for steamboats on August 15, 1865, although the waters of the Mediterranean were not connected with those of the Red sea in the Bitter lakes until August 15, 1869. On November 17. 1869, the Suez canal was formerly opened tt Port Said amid a series of festivities. A few days after the inauguration, M. de Les seps married his second -wife. Mile. Autard de Bragard, a yonng Creole of English ex traction. He was given the grand cross of the Legion of Honor in 1869, and in 1870jwf s nominated by Queen Victoria an Honorary Knight Grand Commander of the Order of the Star of India. The last great engineering work attempted by de Lesseps was the cutting of a canal through the Isthmus of Panama, but after the expenditure of 600,000,000 f rancis.. which eventually led to most serious scandals, the work was unsuccessful. As the enterprise became more and more helpless, the buoy ancy and energy of de Lesseps began to fail him. He had just completed his 87th year and was very feeble when his reputation was assailed by the charges of colossal fraud and corruption in connection with the finan cial part of the Panama enterprise. It is doubtful whether he ever realized the dis grace. When arrested at his home he had apparently some vague iaea oi unpenning menace to his reputation, and he put on his orders and his star of the Legion of Honor before receiving the officers of the law. He was not molested further and never knew that he had been tried, convicted, and sen tenced to five years imprisonment. Even the fact of his son's sentence was kept from him and he was permitted to die in peace. He left a large family of children, by his second wife. Bradst reel's Keporr. ! New York;, Dec. I.Bradatreefs to-mor row will Bay: At the largest Eastern cities retail trade has assumed the characteristics of the holiday season. The demand from jobbers is mainly to fill out depleted stocks, and activity is mainly among retailers. An encouraging report regarding the outlook is receivedfrom Baltimore, but Boston, Buf falo, Pittsburg and Philadelphia announce trade quiet, with the volume for November less than in 1893. s At the South there is a reasonable activity in staple goods, with a moderate improve ment at Nashville, Chatanooga, Savannah, Augusta and Jacksonville. Southern Job-. bers are paying as much attention to col lecting bills as to selling goods. At Charles ton, Memphis and Birmingham trade is quiet and unchanged. New Orleans and Galveston likewise send unfavorable reports of the movement oi merchandise, bqt with the first nam the free marketing of 'crops makes money more plentiful, . though the demand for funds is small. There has been a moderate gam in distribution oi groceries, shoes and light hardware from Galveston, but sales of dry goods are dull. The President' Message Distributed by Subjects to Proper Commit teesThe Railroad Pooltng Bill Still. Under Discussion A - Bold. Advocacy of the! Right of Monopoly- Necessity for Elas - tic Currency. Washington, Dec.7.--The greater portion of to-day's session of the House was voted to a continuation of the discussion on the Railroad Pooling bill. j j A resolution offered by Mr. Wilson, of West Virginia, was passed, distributing the subjects of the President's message the several appropriate committees, On this resolution the House was j briefly addressed by ex-Speaker Grow, Republican of Pennsylvania, who presented hisj views in regard to amendments to the National bank act necessary to secure the ilesired elasticity of the.currency issued' by the banks. j The order for a session to-day for tpe con. ideration of pension bills was vacatejd. A resolution was agreed to giving th'e Com mittee on Banking and Currency permis sion to sit during the sessions of the bouse. When the Railroad Pooling bill came up as the general order, Mr. Patterson with drew all amendments offered by the com mittee to the bill and the debate was con tinued. Mr. Bryan, Democrat, of Nebraska, opposed the bill in a strong speech. Among other things he referred to the speech made yesterday by Mr. Reed, expressing the opinion that never had the House listened to so bold an advocacy of the right bf mo nopoly. He agreed with Mr. Daniels. Re publican, of New York, that the railroads should not come to Congress to protect them selves against their own mismanagement or "ruinous competition." Mr. Bryan cave no tice that at the proper time he wouki move to amend the bill so as to secure a basis upon which the committee shall act in (deter mining the reasonableness of rates. His proposition was that the committee should allow profit upon the cost of reproduction of tne roaa ana roiling siock at present rates, regardless of the original cost of the road, regardless of additional expenditures, and regardless of the amount of capital stock issued either real or fictitious. This Was the rule, he said, applied to all other business, and should be applied to railroad business. The passage of the bill was further op posed by Mr. North way, Republican,of Ohio. Mr. Wise, chairman of the Committee of Inter-State and Foreign Commerce, Replied to Mr. North way. Referring to the! latter gentleman's remark that the passage !of the bill was urged by the railroads alone, he said that it was advocated by boards of trade and transportation all over the country and by every State railroad commissioner except one. " - The discussion for the afternoon wjsis con cluded by Mr. Cockran. who advocated the bill as one which should be supported by every man who desired that the commercial conditions of the country should be such as to bring about commercial prosperity. If the railroaa companies, he said, were denied what they asked in the pending biU they would seek the relief, he believed, in con solidation, as the telegraph companies had been consolidated. j In answer to the question by Mr. Cpx,Mr. Cockran said he believed the passage bf the Dili would result in a reduction or rates, tor the reason that it was the policy of railroad companies to constantly reduce charges. Railroads certainly did not seek to lay waste the country from which they derive their. support they sought those conditions! which. maueior toe prosperity oi tne towns tnrougn which tney passed. At 5 o'clock the House adjourned.
