Ex
Washinotoh, P 0, The success of
recent arrangements in' maintaining the
gold reserve of the Treasury, and the
.knowledge that the banks of the country
will advance more gold if it is needed.
is causing a feeiing of confidence at the
Department. ' - The gold leserve is getting
down again close to $100,000,000 but the
losses havo been comparatively small of
late, and it isJwlievcd . that they will be
ttill smaller, now that gold imports have
set in. '
Tbe action of the bank and tho for
eigo exchange., houses in: protecting the
gold reserve' is - regarded by some of the
officials as much mors efficient than the
mere placement of a popular" loan.
This View is based uoon.tbe fact that the
losses of gold to the Treasury, t have
w ached a nt amount of $95,594,460, since
the advertisement for bids for the' last
loan. The gold reserve at that time stood
at $61,581,026, and the proceeds of the
bond sale were $111,166,232, making
total of $172,697,858. The 'contribution
of $27,000,000 by ..the banks raised the
gold holdings, and receipts of the Treas
ury fcince the advertisement for the last
bond bid to $199,000,000. '
' Tho preseut reserve being about $103,:
000,000, the losses during tbe last eight
months have reached about $96,000,000.
The Treasury has substantially no gold
receipts of any use for strengthening the
reserve' during this entire period, except
the proceeds of the bond sale and the con
tributions of the banks.- -
'' Gold is received for public does on the
Pacific coast, tnt . hat to be paid out again
so that there is no substantial net gain to
the Treasury. The loss of $96,000,000 in
gold, therefore, indicates that only about
$15,0QO,OCO".bf the big proceeds of the
popular loan still rcma'u in the Treaty
iu gold. Gold was'ttiadily drawu dtiiin
the term allowed for pument for the
bonds, so that the rerve never rose much
alove $128,(00,000. .
The importation of gold at New York
may prove "only an isolated went, but
Ilia state of the foreign trade oi the
country during ; (he ..past year ju.tifits
the hrpe that gold will cime to this
iw untry iu considerable amounts unless
there is a strong disposition lo withdraw
lorefgn capital. 'The excess oi ixpprls
of Aaieruno merchandise for. tbe seven
mouths -ending with July was 90,743,609;
the exceess of gold exports" for the same
pwiod was $20,86,642,'add the" excess
ot silver exports was $18,625,192, . This
balance in favor : of tbe United States,
amounting . to $186,000,000 - in seven
months, is more tlmn enough to settle
oar usual interest payments abroad and
leave a'margio'in ;our,' fvor. V The, his
tory of the past three years has been very
similar, and it is believe! that in tbe
absences of political disasters the serious
process of liquidation which the country
has been going through will soon, be at
an end. The readiness of tbe banks to
furnish gold, if needed to maintain the
Treasury reserve, is counted upon to pre
vent f.ny new break of confidence add to
keep the foreign' exchanges, ia a normal
condition,' u- , -L'.j-.'iVt .. -r
Even the opponents of the legal tender
system an hopeful that renewed activity
in business will majce place for the mass
of paper tuoney now In circ'nlation - and
remove the greenbacks as a disturbing
factor from the market '
:, To" problem of Gov'trnment'revenue
depends to some extent upon the state of
business and it is still hoped that revenue
will materially 1 increase when - business
confidence returns. The receipts of the
Ouveroroent dqiipg July wenjbstter than
fur many months, and those jfor - August
have been better than the receipts dnring
the spring, but will yet equtl the receipts
for August 1895.' . . ;' -. ".
Ther will be a considerable i deficit for
August, but It will be due to special caus
es rather than tba excess oi' ordinary ei
pendunrvs. : ; -::;.'.;: '.';,''"',:."-".!.
Tba liK-i'ease, in' the racaipts for Juit
and August oyer the spring , months 'has
beep mainly In internal revenue. Tbe cut
tores receipts have shown a tendency to
fall oil, owing to diminished Importations
The Interna' revenue receipts are. not
likely again to fall backward, while there
Is no prospect of change In the law, and
the cusUms receipts are expected' tp feel
(he to'ufh of laipi'Qviog business as soon
at the exUiting political uncertainty jt at
an end, '. ,- -j., v ., :.;.v,i"1;'
,. It is ttill expected that Congress will be
summoned la extra session, either to pro
vide revenue or to consider a general
revision. ' of tho tariff. Tlie necessity for
revenuis . may be felt', without regard to
tbe party which triumphs at the polls in
November. The pfospeft of gefleri tariff
jevision, even witn au extra session, Is
loss brigbl than it appeared in tne spring,
w hen the Republicans believed that they
had everytbiug their own way. They are
likely to Had it difllcult to past ft general
revenue bill, even If they elect tbe Preti.

WASHINOTOty:-D.-J. August 25
Dr. Chancellor, tbe American consul at
Havre, (lasj scnt the State Department an
elaborate-report upon the successful voy
age of the rowboat Fox across the Atlan
tic, illustrated by photographs of tbe two
seamen, Harbo end Samuelson, as they
arrived and several days later tbe charac
teristic scenes of their greeting in Havre.
" The consul says they accomplished the
voyage from New York to Bcilly, nearly
8,000 miles, in fifty five days, 'thus i
tablishing a record in daring seamanship
and human endurance hitherto unknown
to. lbs world.' The success of the enter
prise will at least servcto inspire .confl
denee and hope in those who, from one
cause or another, may hereafter be forced
to resort to open boats on the open sea.
, The coqsul describes tbe approach of
the Fox, which was signalled some hours
before her arrival at. Havre, and as she
entered the dock opposite the consulate,
''the Stats and Stripes defaced and tatter
ed, but glorious eveu in rgs, floated
proudly at the stern as if rejoicing in this
new and hard won victory on tbo sea."
At tbey were destitute thetonsul gave
