MILLIONS OF GOLD Six Hundred of Them Outside the Government’s Vaults. -}HOW 10 GET If IN CIRCULATION Patriotism Should Bring It From Its Hiding Places. METHODS PROPOSED _—— There ts gold in this country outside of the government’s vaults to the amount of 600,000,000, It is owned by banks and in- dividuals. It stands in some cases for bank reserves and in others it represents the hoardings of timid people. Half of this money, if brought into active play at this time or brought within assured reach in case of dire necessity, would go a long way toward restoring confidence in the business world. The assured use of the whole of it would enable this country to snap its fin- gers in the face of all Europe. How to Get It Out. Can means be devised to bring this yellow money out of its hiding places? This prop- osition was referred to in The Star two weeks ago. A prominent Senator was at that time looking into the matter with the view of submitting remarks on the sub- ject. The question then was purely a domestic one. It related only to the ques- tion of supplying the government with money enough for its comfortable support. Domestic polities were very much involved. On the one side were the republicans at- tributing the whole trouble to the fact that the passage of the Wilson bill had turned the balance of trade against the United States, while on the other side were the democrats laying the responsibility at the door of the greenbacks. It was on -that account thought to be a most difficult question to handle on the eve of a prest- dential election. The fear was that neither side would abate enough of its contention to make a really serviceable compromise possible. But still, efforts were making to that end, and the Senator referred to was uot without hope of success. A Different Situation. The situation today is new and radically different from that. The question has been changed from a partisan to a patriotic one. ‘The menace to the national credit comes from abroad. There is a distinct move- ment Ia England to strike this country through its strong box; to force terms on the Verezuelan question by a slaughter of American securities. It has for its incen tive the small gold holdings of the govern- ment, and the difficulty the government has had up to this time in increasing those holdings. Would this movement continue, or, continuing, could it result in great em- barrassments to this country, if the gold holdings of the country were brought into play? Is not the present the best time in which to appeal for that assistance? Wouid not the country respond gladly and at once? Would not what has been withheld on partisan scores be promptly forthcom- ing on patriotic scores? The Country Committed. The country, it {s pointed out, is fully committed now on the Venezuelan question. Congress supports the President, and th country through both has spoken. There can be no drawing back. The country, therefore, must be supported or abandone To the extent that the country’s embarrass- ments in the money market have been in- creased by its assertion of its anil duties in the aftairs of this hemisphere, they must at once be relieved, It is insi: hy an exercise of an additional patriotism. The country’s credit under this new pressure must be maintained. The same Congress which in the exercise of a patriotic duty in respense to the President's app2al has in a certain sense caused that pressur2 should meet the resultant emergency. How to Bring Relief. How shall this be done? Whatever gold is needed must be obtained at once. The laying of additional revenues, although to the extent of the re-enactment of the whole McKinley bill, would not accomplish that result. Then, bonds? or non-interest bear- Ing treasury notes? If bonds, another tssue under the old law? or bonds'on the Line of a popular loan? A popular loan, it 1s held, would promptly be taken up, and Great Britain would receive another evidence thereby of how much in earnest the Amer- fcan people are at this time. The Episcopal convention of the old dio- cese of Texas has elected Rt. Rev. A. C. Gar- ret bishop of the new Dailas diocese. ~ SPECIAL NOTICES.

Supposed Information in Regard to a Gang of Thieves—Other Mat- ters of Interest. George Chichester, a well-known char- acter about town, was arrested by Offi Beach upon a warrant sworn out by Rich- ard Burnett, charging him with stealing | $10 from him. The mayor fined him % and made him return the $10 to Burnett. While Chichester was locked up at the station house he made an affidavit, in which he stated that Burnett's place, at the upper end of Duke street, was a fence for stolen goods, and that evidence was manufac- tured there to get thieves out of trouble. He further said that he had been ap- proached in Burnett's place by a relative of Harry Poss, who has been indicted in Fairfax county for robbing old man Me- Clintock, and Burnett, and that they offered him % if he would go to Fairfax Court House and swear that McClintock was in Burnett's saloon the time he was robbed, and that he had left the pants there which Henry threw behind the door when the police entered the saloon to arrest them. | He further said that he was in Burnett's place when William Arrington, whose cuse will be tried tonight, charged with robbing a man, and James Sullivan, who fs serving a ninety days’ sentence in jail as a va grant and thief, sold Burnett four gallons of whisky which they had stolen the night before. He said that he had been offered $10 upon several occasions to set fire to William Brauner’s place, a rival saioon- keeper just opposite Burnett’s place. Mayor Thompson had the atlidavit attested by Capt. James Webster, Lieut. Smith and Policemen Atkinson and Smith. This gang has been giving the police a great deal of trouble for some time. Al- though they have suspected these parties, sufficient proof had not been obtained to punish them, but now it will not be long before the police have the whole gang be- hind the bars. Polite Court. Mayor Thompson this morning disposed of the following cases: Emma and Charles Lovelace, arrested by Officers Bettes and Young, charged with being drunk and dis- orderly; fined $5 each. T. H.

ROUND HILL, Va., December 23.—Great excitement prevails in this end of Loudoun county over the discovery of a wholesale scheme of cattle stealing, which has been going on for several months. A number of prominent and well-to-do farmers are un- der suspicion, and several arrests are likely to be made. James Cross, a prominent farmer living near here, was arrested y terday on suspicion, and warrants are out for the arrest of a colored man named John Royston, who fled last week across Mary- land into Pennsylvania, and is supposed to have made his way to Canada by this time. The largest number of, cattle stolen, so. far as now known, is seventeen. Ten of these were sold, it is said, in Washington, three to a man named Wynecoop, a farmer living near Round Hill, and three were found on the farm of Cross. One was kill- ed by Royston. Five hundred dollars re- ward has been offered for the arrest of Roystcn, and detectives are at work upon the case. It is believed that quite a large number of cattle have been taken and run off and sold. Royston seems to have been engaged all the fall in selling horses in Fauquier coun- ty and cattle in Loudoun. Suspicion was directed to him last week by his trading a nice fat steer for a horse, and then trading that horse for a much poorer one in order to get boot in money. He then took the horse off into the woods and shot it. His method was to watch the large droves of cattle that are now being finished off on the large feeding farms along the eastern slope of the Blue Ridge, where farmers in some cases have as many as a hundred in a herd, and drive out two or three choice ani- mals from each bunch. Dcing this in the night, he was able to make his way rapidly from one county.to the other and bring in a nice drove of fat cattle. All the arimals that he disposed of here and in Washington last week were choice. Royston {s a peculiar-looking man, his en- tire scaly being totally destitute of hair. He is a muijatto and a man of great natural cunning. — Christmas in the Stores, A visit to John C, Parker's store, 618 7th street, opposite the patent office, will re- pay any one in search of a fine line of sta- tionery, Christmas or New Year caras, or gift books suitable for the holidays.

GLADSTONE URGES COMMON SENSE Figuring Out Moves on War's Checkerboard. STEPS THAT ARE LIKELY LONDON, December 23.—This afternoon newspapers ccntinue commenting editorial- ly and at length upon the Venezuelan mat- ter, but their remarks are on the financial rather than a political aspect of the case. While there is no abatement of the expres- sions of belief that the ground taken on behalf of the United States is untenable, the tone is altcgether more pacific. Yet there is a considerable display of satisfac- tion at the financial difficulties in the United States. The dispatch which Mr. Gladstone sent to the New York World, in answer to the lat- ter’s request for a message to the American people on the Venezuelan question, has at- tracted wide attention here and elsewhere. In reply Mr. Gladstone cabled: ‘Dare not interfere. Only common sense required. afternoon, 'S Message York Worid, James Gazette th's commenting upon Mr. Glad to the proprietor of the Ne would have avoided the shock which has been given to both coun- tries. It will find its way out; it is the Americans who must supply the needful pinch of sanity, which they are fully capable of deing.”’ The Westminster Gazette advises all con- ke a holiday and a breathing 1ce and to allow common sense to itself,” ad that there ‘ommon se} cerned to * SI ample room for considera- tion, concession and adjustment, the com- mon sense party in the United States may be sure that it will be met half way by the common sense party here." FIGURED IT OUT. is Irving M. Scott Predicts the Result of a Hestite Declaration. SAN FRANCISCO, December 23.—Irving M Scott, ident of the Union Iron Com- pany, mpia and several other of the best American warships, says that in the event of war between England and America this country would come out on top. . “There is no question of England's great strength on water,” said Mr. Scott, “but it is not always the strongest navy that gets away with a battle. A lucky shot will turn the tide of the fight when the danger seems the greatest. England might give us a dash at first, but in the end we would whip her. “We nave the advantage of her, that she would have to come over to fight use By the time her battle s crossed the Atlantic would be short of fuel, and it would be ry to reload. The English warships vid make for Halifax, and our efforts would be to intercept them. Tue first great naval battle would take place off the mouth of the St. Lawrence river. Our people would cicss into Canada, and force the British to send reinforcements there. The English Wouid no doubt attempt to lay siege to Buf- t Milwauke Chicago and other lake cities They would send their small ships irto the lakes and attack our cities, their object being to keep up their frontier by compelling us to stay at home. Then our objective point would be the Welland ca 1. h be closed and the Jritish With the canal destroyed, connection w: the akes would t shut out. In my judgment if war were declared, every effort would be made on the part of our armies to get into Canada before a sufficient force could be gathered there to stop their progress. Canada is a vulner- able place to us, and England weuld be obliged to bring troops over to defend it. The transportation of troops from England to America would be no easy task. The transports would have to be conveyed by risers and batile ship, and the speed be that of the slowest ship in the WHO WOULD FIGHT. Manifestation of Warlike Spirit in Country. LINCOL! Neb., December 23.—Rumors of war have caused considerable specula- tion as to the number of men Nebraska might be able to furntsh if called upon by the general government. Gov. Holcomb has been called on by the eastern press and other sources for similar information. Gov. Holeomb has given out the follow- ing: “Two regiments, one troop of cavalry and one battery of artillery, with a total numerical strength of not less than 1,400 men could be placed in the field instantly should occasion require. The regiments are well armed and equipped.” Military men whb have studied the ques- tion believe that one company could be ralsed In each of the ninety counties in the state on short notice. That would be nine regiments. Then it is estimated that the city of Lincoln could furnish at least two or three regiments, Omaha and South Omaha, five regiments, and with other cities to draw from, at least eighteen or twenty regiments would be in readiness in short order. Probably 130,000 volunteers might be available from Nebraska. AUL, Minn., December 23.—Capt. nnedy of this city, speaking for ‘Northwestern Center of the Fenian Brotherhood sent a message to Presi- dent Cleveland tendering “the services of 20,000 men, who have been under fire be- fore,” in case of war with Great Britain. t. Paul been a Fenian center for twenty-five rs, and a large number of the men now anxious to fight England abetted Louis Riel in his two rebellions in the Canadian northwest. H INTOXICATION, CHARGED W! Lieut. Werlich of the Philadelphia to Be Court-Martialea. Word has reached here thar Lieut. P. J. Werlich of the flagship Philadelphia, which arrived in San Francisco yesterday morn- ing from a cruise in Puget sound, has been ordered to trial by court-martial on charges of intoxication on duty. Accord- ing to the story, Lieut. Werlich made his first serious fall from grace while the Philadelphia was at Port Townsend about six weeks ago. A party of ladies and gen- tlemen attended a supper aboard the war- ship, ond when the festivities were over it was fourd that Lieut. Werlich was not sober enough to assist the ladies into the launch. Just before the flagship started south Lieut. Werlich returned to the ves- sel after a ten-days’ shore leave in such a deplorable state of intoxication, sd it is said, that he was at once put under arrest and formal charges were preferred against him of drunkenness on duty. The court-martial appointed to try this case consists of Capt. T. F. Kane, Com- mander E, W. Watson, Lieut. T. S. Phelps, Lieut. J. B. Milton, Lieut. E. Fox, Lieut. F. A. Wilner, Lieut. F. Greene and Lieut. W. R. A. Rooney, all of the navy, with Capt. H. C. Cochrane of the marine ccrps as judge advocate. Lieut. Werlich is well known in this city and persenally is a very popular officer, He wes graduated from the Naval Acad- emy in the class of 1577.

A CRAZED MOTHER. She Attempts to Dash Out the Brains of Her Infant. This merning about 3 o'clock there was an exciting scene in the hovse of a colored wo- iran named Mary Anderson, at 458 O street northwest, the result of the woman being temporarily insane. Four days ago the wo- man gave birth to a child and since then she has suffered to such an extent that her mind has become affected. At about the time stated her insanity took a homicidal form and she had a desperate struggle with her husband, who was unable to manage her. When he had become worsted in the struggle and his wife got away from him she grabbed her baby from the bed and made a desperate attempt to niurder the infant by striking the young one against the wall. Screams of those who participated in the struggle, as well as by others in the house, aroused the whole neighborhood, among trose to respond were Sergt. Bannigan and Policemen Trumbell and Reith. The insane mother was soon quieted, the ambulance called and the mother and her nearly dead infant were taken to the Wash- ington Asylum Hospital for treatment. ——— Hotel Arrival Arlington—Fred L.
