Looked Upon with 1 But Now the « Houses Are Alarn lifference et t Banking Becoming ed. Niw Yok, May 0.~Why s gold going to Buropet is the one absorbing question on Wall streot and in banking circles, Therc has beeu n steady drain of the precious metal ever since January, until the exports over im- ports upto date reported by the custom house hias reached $42,105, Tu 1554 the exports for the same period were §52,030,454, and that is the only year in a decade that has equalied or approached the present loss of gold. The most astute financiers are unable to explain the reason for the export. [ven the repr sentatives of the foreign houses who do th shipping of the gold -like August Belmont Co., Lazard Freeves, or Heidelback, Bikel heimer & Co.—are silent on the subject They can all nave the and speculation as 1o the causes, but when it comes to actual facts they koow little or nothin @ than any one el T'he, know that they have their orders for gold and that the people abroad who want it are willing o pay a premium. The little effort made by the United States government to check the import movement, fivst by charging a prem ium on bars and th by refusing to let them wo at all, made little difference in the derand orin the sh nents, and the coin has cor tinued to fow abroad in a steady stream The stock market, which never fails to feel any unusual movemeat in financial matters, has been feverish and troubled for several days over the dvain on home resources. The order for a further s &, 360,000 at the subtrcasury yesterday making a total for the week of 760,000, inaddition to nearly £15,000,000, es timated to have been obtaimed from other sources and whicl: has gone to swell the ex ports of the week, caused such a com m in the stock exchange that prices were tum bled down to the extent of 1 to 4 per cent ail along the line, It was not a panie, but it was a critical time in the market, and not a few believed a stiil further decline would fol low The bauking houses have up to within a few days viewed the exportation of goid with indifference, belicving that the movement would soon wear itself out. But yeste to get apprehensive and there conferences on the subject. It oue instance several leading bankers long consultation with anumber of repre tives of foreign banking houses as gold shippers, and together ored to unravel the mystery. They sepa as much puzzled as when they came agreed that the present rate of excuange did nOL warrant the exportation now going on and that Eogland was simply buying ethe gold as it would wheat or cotfon and other merchandise, and that it was not only paving the nctual standard value of the gold out the expenses of the shipmeuts and a premium besides and suffering the loss by abrasion in addition. The fact that Europe was so anx- Jous for the metal was looked upon as por- tending a serious condition of cither financial or political affafrs in the old world. The de [ Th ud came first from G then from nee and now from k So_sharp a5 it been this e v 87,00, 000 and more were exported on cable orders—an unusual method at Ny time. England is payig the largest premium for wold it ever did before. The members of the conference were divided as to the cause of the demand, Some felt certain. that it por. tended an European war and that the foreign governments were simply preparing them selves for the peuding conflict. They in- stanced the strained relations botwe eral of the reat powers and the the standing armies in France, Germany Russia. They believed the situation such that the slightestspark was all that necessary to set the conflagration going, Others, while admitting that the war theory might be the correct one, were still of the opinion that the present conditions were simply the refioctions of November last, when the great house of Baring was threatened with destruction and was' only belped out of its perilous position by the Bank of Englund and other. vancinl stlc tutions, The bank's generosity resuited m the locking up practically of £0,000,000 of its unds, and the other houses intecested were also crippled to great extent. Russia, too, might at any moment withdraw her bal: ances from the European bauks, where she is credited with £100,000,000, Others held to the idea that the export is largely due Lo the enormous exvortations of foreign goods incidental to the McKinley biil This created a heavy balance of trade aguinst the United States and Burope is now culling for payment. But whatever reason the con ference was unanimous that the present movement was 1ot yet ended and that gold shipuents might continue for some wecks or even ma s yot, The secretiry of the mindful of the situation, ana is now in cor- respondence with leading finaneial men in this city considering the best course to pur- sue. o appreciates that the government, if called upou at the present time, could gi little assistance to ecither Wall street or the mercantile comwunity.

Wasminaron, May 0.—Divector of the Mint Leech has been watching the flow of gola from the treasury to Europe, but he sces nothing to excite alarm. Within a few weeks past Germany has drawn on our stock for 1,506,000 in gold bars and $0,525 000 in coin, France during the same period has called for #,250,00 in coin wnd England £,100,000. At the ruling rate of ex- change it is unnecessary to look further for the causes of gold shipment than the puy- ment of the balanco of trade, including freight and interest, and the strained finan cial situation of Europe. According to Mr. Leech the United States has wore gold on hand at this time thuu any other country, PRILADEL S FINANCE S, coulation in Wall Street Over the Bank Failu New Youk, May 9.~ The news from Phila- delpbia of the f Spring Garden bauk caused spgeulation in Wall street of ru- mors concerning the financial situation in that city. Trouble was roported in the af- fairs of one of the strongest bauks in Phila delphia, but this was not credited by any well informed bauker here. The bank us- sailed by these rumors has a capital of 81,000, 000, and a surplus with undivided profits, ac- cording to its last of more thau $1,80,000. Its Now York correspondents are banks of the highest standing, and they om- phaticaily expressed disbelief 1 the rumors Another story which was that statement, circulated a large trust company in Philadeiphia had failed or was embarrassed, but it was generally considered that this grew out of the Pennsylvania deposit and trust company or an organization which was connected with the management of the Spring Garden bank.

Let- ters received from all parts of the country by me sbow that the feeling is ravidly growing, that the people west of the Mississippi need to cultivate closer relations and stand by ench other for the things that especially concern them. The American peopic have the fashion of getting uround to the rignt place sooner or later in uli things. They have allowed themselves to be led into a great many things that were not for the general good, through the prejudices and annimosities engendered by o strife that ended a genera- tion age, The first emphatic and significant revolt against this unreasonable and unneces sary partisan and sectional bondage was given a short time avo when Senators Teller and Wolcott threw off the yoke and gave their aid to the south for a victory in the in- terest of justice. Important as the action was at the time, it was nothing as compared to the mew order of things inaugurated that day. The wpeople of tne great west and northwest were made to realize the power that was within their grasp, They were made to see that they had been for years playing the part of bottlehold- crs for asection of the country that had no goneral interest 1in common with them beyond that unity that exists betwecn mortgagee and mortgagor.

He Resents Charges Made th talinn Consul. Nrw Onieans, La, May 9.—On the Tth inst. Mr. . Corte, the Italian consul in this city, addressed a communication to W. H. Chaffee, foreman of the grand jury, charging among other things ‘‘that an extra judicial body appointed by the mayor from the be- giniing premeditated the illing of the pris- oners: that the sume bodv assembled on the night of March 13 to take in cold blood the necessary steps to kill for political purposes defenseless but fearful adversaries,” ote. The above statement has given to the mayor of the city the greatest possible offense. The *‘extra judical body" to which refer- ence is made in the consul’s official communi- cation is no other than the famous committee of fifty appoiuted by his honor immediately after the killing of Chief Hennessy to inves tigato and to bring the guilty parties to jus- tice. That they should be charactorized us o murderous body for political purposes, and so created by the mayor of the city has occa- sioned the greatest indignation in municipal circles. One of the results of the letter has been that the committee of fifty has aiready commenced the preparation of a report which will give in detail their connection with the Hennessy investigation, the work accom- plished by them and the causes of their ap- vointment, This report is to be submitted to the mayor and council at their meeting on Tuesday, and on the basis of their report the mayor will take the necessary action leading to a recall of the Italiau consul at this port, — UMON PACIFIC TEA FAILURE, by An Extensive Concern Foreed to Make an Assignment.

Clark got the building for 75 and will remove it from the park by June 1. The beard decided to place six are lights in Hanscom park and to put a flag on the lion, of Mr. . The oseph Slone, PARK TS Sulary Adams, super- intendent of parks was | raised om §100 to §125 per month The salary of Mr. Doane, the secretary, was also raised from &5 o $100 per month. Mr. Lininger voted in the negutive on that prop osition, and explained that while he had no rault to find with Mr. Doane he believed that £05 per month was enough for the services required. Considerable _discussion arose as to the renting of the Hanseom park pavilion, and with regard to some changes that Mr. Bal- duff, the lessce, desires made. The commit- tee appointed to look after this matter, consisting of Mr. Millard and Judge Lake reported that no cotract had yet been agreed upon, but Mr. Balduff had” already meved into the pavilion, At a former meet- ing of the board, when the question of rent- ing the pavilion was discussed, the board decided to lev the pavilion to Mr. Balduff and the committee named was requested to draw up a contract and agree as to (he rental, etc. Mr. Millurd reported to the effect that the committee had decided to let Mr. Baiduff have the use of the pavilion the first year free, aithough he had sent in his check ™ for £500 as an offer for the first year. The rea- son the committee had decided to charge nothing the first year, Mr. Millard said, was thatno one could tell how much the pavilion ‘was worth to a caterer until he had tried it a year. Mr. Baldruff had promised the com- mittee that he would make a careful and ac- curate report of his profits at the end of the first year, und then a price would be set for the future. Mr. Lininger was stoutly opposed to this arraugement, and notified the members of the board that it should have no support from him. He believed that it was shameful to turn over a 15,000 building free of charge to any wan, practically without contract. Mr. Millard and Dr. Miller both said that the question 8s to how the pavil- ion would be conducted was the main one, aud & nominal rental with an incompetent occupant would be far worse than a free privilege to some who fully understood how such a place should be con- ducted and kept. They seemed to think that Mr. Balduff was a man who could and would take good care of the pavilion and conduct it illard said that it was very incon- venient to have three members on the com- mitteo making arrangements with Mr. Bal- duff as to the minor matters about the pavil- ion, and he therefore wanted the business delegated to some one member of the com- mittee with power to act, Mr. Lininger objected to this, saying that any changes or alterations about the payil- ion should be brought before the full board. He said that Mr. Bal- dufft and some of the committee wanted to take out the gentlemen’s closet in the end of the building, but he was opposed to it, and he did not wish tosee any one mem- ber of the committee take it upon himself to change plans that had been agreed upon. ‘The motion made by Mr. Millard was car- vied, and Dr. Miller, tho chairman, appointed Mr. Millard t lcok after minor matters about the pavilion. Judge Lake was present and said that he_ did not agree with Mr. Poppleton with re- ward to the failure of the new charter to give the city council or board of park commissioners power to condemn prop- erty for park or boulevard purposes. He helieved the charter granted that rignt and power (and_he went to his ofice and brought a copy of the new charter, but when he examined the matter more care- fully he remarked that the section was so badly jumbled up that no man on earth could make any sense out of it, and that the Ne- braska legislature of 1801 had done more harm than good and the city of Omaha and the state would have been better off if the session had not been held. The committee appointed to draw up a contract with Mr, Balduff was instructed to briug the same in at the next meeting, — Mrs. Alice McShane. Mrs. Alice McShane died at 10:40 o'clock vesterday forenoou at the residence of her in-law, Major Johu . Furay, 2403 Sew- street, aged seventy-nine years.

The diversity of your pro- ducts, your mines of gold aud silver, iron, lead and coal, placed in such proximity as to make the work of mining and reduction easy and _economical, your well watered valley, capable under the skillful touch of the hus- bandman of transtormation from barren wastes into fruitful fields, all these lying in easy reach and inter communication, one with the other, must make a great commer cial and political community.

Organizations of this character are very useful, when rightly conducted, very promotive of tho Dusiness prospority of the - city in which they are established dnd of the best interests of their membership. It is quite right that those who may be engaged in the rivalries of business, pushing their several lines of trade with the energetic en- terprise that characterizes our people, should now and then assemble, should lay aside things that are personal and selfish and con- sider the things that affect the whole com munity. These organizations, as I have known them in other states, have ocen the council chamber in which large and liberal things have been devised for the development of the interest and ‘lmspl-rll.\' of the com- munity. 1 know that you will do so here; that new enterprises will be welcomed and the friendly business hand will be ex- tended to those who are seeking invest- ments. [ wish you all success in this enter- prise and I hope it may grow until its mem- bership shall embrace all of your commercial s and that confidence muy do for your s here what the waters of your moun- tain streams have done for the plains—make them grow larger and more proauctive and at the same time expel from them those mean jealousies which sometimes divide men.” ® The president afterward reviewed the pub- lie school children on East Brigham street, In his speech to the school childrea the presi- dent said: “'In all this joyful journey in this land of flowers and in the sunny south I have seen nothing more beautiful and inspiring than the scene which has burst upon us so unexpectedly. This multitude of children, bearing waving banners, makes a scene which can never fade from our memories, Here in these children, from the free schools establisned and guarded by your public authorities, is the hope of Utah and the coun- try. |Cheers.| Igiveyou my thanks for a démonstration that ~has cheered my hear.
