President Cleveland Decides on Another Issue.

Incri'iiM* the Gold Konerve II*
TJiinltH the National fredit-
It.
AY AHHiNfi I' »N, Nov. 1H. President Cleveland lias practically given instructions to- Sccretarv Carlisle to place $50,000,000 more United States bonds on the market to secure (fold for the treasury and strengthen the government's credit. When the news was lirht privet) out in Wall street Saturday morning there seemed to he no re«eon to doubt its authenticity. The storv was confirmed Monday morning*. Secretary Carlisle has been opposed to another bond issue. He does not consider it necessary, at least, for the present, to preserve the government's credit. The president, however, thinks it absolutely essential to add £50,000,000 to the gold supply in the treasury and in this as on several former occasions Secretary Carlisle has prompth' acquiesced in the president's policy. There is no personal difference between the president and Secretary Carlisle growiug out of this disagreement on matters of party policy, it is said.
To Iiktch^Othe ItcRcrve.
There is some question as to the immediate necessity of issuing- bonds, and the president and Secretary Carlisle hold different opinions. The president is not in favor of permitting the gold reserve to fall lower than It is at present. He believes the stability of the currency is already threatened by the limited gold basis upon which it is being- circulated. Secretary Carlisle, on the other hand, while he acknowledges the advisability of increasing the gold reserve, if possible, doeB not think there is a 113* immediate danger either to the credit of the government or to the standing of the treasury department from the depleted condition of the gold fund. While the reserve is lower now by nearly ST,000,000 than it was when the last bond issue was decided upon, the available cash, in the treasury is about $80,000,00U more.
The Deficit Growing.
The gold reserve has been steadily but slowing increasing since August 10. Upon that date there was but $52,409,787 in gold coin in the treasury, while now there is nearly $6^.000,000, an increase of $558,275 since October 81. At the same time the actual excess of expenditures over receipts for the fiscal year amounts to $18,940.(342, and the deficit is constantly increasing. During the last teu days expenditures exceeded the receipts nearly $4,000,000.
Can't Depend on Congress.
Now there is little probability that congress will be asked to enact any legislation to authorize the issuance of 8 percent, bomls, because the experience of the administration has been that congress is too widely divided upon all questions of finance to pass any bills likely to afford immediate relief. Secretary Carlisle will, therefore, be forced again to issue 5 per cent, bonds under the law of 1874, mid sell them at a premium, so as to briny the actual rale of interest down to per cent., or as low as possible.
Will He Itfttiied aL Once.
NEW YOIIK, NOV. 18.—According to good authority the government loan will be issued as soon as the details are perfected and the circulars are printed, probably Wednesday morning-. The issue will be S50,000,000 of 6 per cent, bonds redeemable in ten years, and no upset price will be fixed by the government. Assurances have been received by the leaders in the movement which warrants the assertion that the issue will be largely oversubscribed and bids will be on a trifle better basis than 3 per cent.

Mrs. Clffvvliuid Ti»kuR l*art In LHUticliI.iir
at Cramp's.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. Ifl.—The big steamer St. Louis was launched at r.O'i o'clock p. rri. on Monday. The launching of the magnificent steamship at tramp's shipyards was a suecess. The affair was witnessed by fully 60,000 people. Mrs. Cleveland, wife of the president, broke the traditional bottle of champagne on the bow of tho noble ship as it glided down the ways, at the same time uttering those words: "1 christen thee St. Louis."
In this instance and for tho first time since the ceremony was observed at Cramp's shipyard the champagne was of American manufacture.
After the biff steamship had made its way safely into the river the presidential party took their way to the big mold loft of the shipyard where an elaborate luncheon had been provided. In response to tile sentiment "Mrs. Cleveland," Secretary Carlisle arose and paid to Mrs. Cleveland a most beautiful and graceful tribute. Mr. Carlisle said: "In response to the t.oiibt just offered, oru requested by Mrs Cleveland to thaiik you, and to say that «he appreciate-, moro fully than mere words can convey the demonstration that has followed the mention of her name. Iain pretty sure that she is not unmindful on this occasion of the fact that the American people in every part of tie.} country, without regard to religious or political divisions, have always been her friends. Whenever the duties and res|Kn?»lbilities of hdfr position have required or made It proper for her to appear in the presence of her countrymen an:l country women, demonstrations of affection and ro.speet have been so unanimous as to leave no room for doubt that they are bound lo her by ties that cannot be broken by political contentions. For these evidences of friendship and confidence' Mrs. Cleveland Is profoundly grateful, and if she could emphasize this declaration by any word or act on her part. I am sure she would not hesitate to do so. Tho drawing-rooms of tho white house are the dominions of the president's wife, and within them she gracefully fulfills the social duties imposed upon her."
Having alluded in pleasant terms to Mrs. Cleveland's household duties "as one place in the land where harsh words of political discourse are not heard," Mr. Carlisle said "that.amidst all the anxieties and cares by which her position surrounds her, she has never been indifferent to the great enterprises which advance and which tnark the progress of her country."
After a number of other toasts hud been responded to the party began to break up. As a souvenir of the occa^ sion Mrs. Cleveland was presented by the International Navigation company with a solid gold toilet bottle about 4 in
1
'ii height, the top of which was
ablaze with a diamond star.

WASHINGTON, NOV. IH.--The United' Stales government report on the great railway strike in connection with the rulhnau trouble was made public Monday. The report, which is signed by the federal labor commissioner, Carroll I). Wriirht, and his fellow investigators, John 1). Kcrnan, of New Vork, and Nicholas K. Worthingt.on. of Illinois, is addressed to President- Cleveland. The report strongly censures both the General Managers' association and the American Kaiiwav union for the methods employed by each, and says: "The refusal of the General Managers' association to recoj/nize aud deal with such a combination of labor as the American Railway union acums urn,yum. and absurd, when we consider Its st ».ndln before the law. its assumptions and Its past and obviously contemplated future action."
The Pullmau strike is discussed at great length, and says that while tho wages of the workingmen were reduce*! t- the lowest point possible, with its attendant Buffering, none of the salaries of the olllcers, managers or superintendents were reduced. Reductions in these would not have been so severely felt, would have shown good faith, would have relieved the harshness of the situation and would have evinced genuine sympathy with labor in the disasters of tho times. The report continues: "The demand of the employes for tho
WUKGS
of ,luno l«ya. was clearly -unjustifiable. Tho business in -May. 1B94. could not pay tho wages of June. deduction was carried to excess, but the company was hardly more at fault tlu*rcf» than were tho employes in insisting upon ibe wages of June. 18D3. •As between man und man the demand for uuie rent reduction was fair and roasonablo under all the circumstances. Some slight concession iu this regard would probably have averted tho strike, provided the promise not to discharge the mon who served upon tho committee had been more strictly regarded"
With reference to the employment of troops at Pullman the commission says the Pullman company claims that the real object of the guards was to prevent intimidation and violence, but the strikers are entitled to bo believed to tho contrary in this matter because of their conduct and forbearance after May 11. It iR in evidence and uncontradicted that no violence or destruction of property by strikers or sympathizers took place at Pullman. The report continues: 'Such dignified, manly and conservative conduct in the midst- of excitement and threatened starvation Is worthy of the highest type of American citizenship, and with like prudence in nil other directions will result In due time in the lawful and orderly redress of labor wrongs. To deny this la to forswear patriotism and to declare this government and its people a failure."
President Cleveland's course in sending troops to the scenes of the disturbances is upheld. The commission says that it has no evidence that the officers of the American Railway union a* any time participated In or advised intimidation, violence or destruction of property. They knew and fully appreciated that as soon as mobs ruled the organized forces of society would crush the mobs and all responsible for them in the remotest decree, and that this meant defeat. The attacks upon corporations and monopolies by the leaders in their speeches are similar to those to be found in the magazines and industrial works of the day.
In conclusion the report favors ar* titration and the creation of a body -iniiinr to the interstate commerce commission, who^e duty it shall "be to investigate disputes between railway* and employes, and thinks these plans will have a tendency to do away with much of the strife between them.
POLICY OF NICHOLAS.

1 in per tii I Predeeendor.
Sr. pKTKKsnrHO, Nov. 18.—On Friday last M. de Uiers, the foreign minister, sent a circular to the Russian representatives abroad declaring that Czar Nicholas was firmly resolved to follow in his father's footsteps and to evot.e his whole strength to the internal welfare of the country, never ueviating from the pacific, lo3*al and linn polic}' which had hitherto so .reatly contributed to tho general pence. Russia, the circular adds, will maintain her friendly relutions with all the powers and will regard respect for law and order as the surest guarantee of the tran?iuiility of the state.
The imperial party and others accompanying the body have noticed the remarkable change which has taken placc in the temperature since they left the Crimea. There the air was balmy and the roses were to be seen on all sides in full bloom, but as the cortege proceeded northward the weather becHine colder until in this city tiie temper.i lure is 2 degrees below zero.

SAIIW Kan.. NOV. 13. —Three masked robbers attempted to hold up the bank at Sylvan Grove, Kan., 40 miles west of here, at noon Monday, and one of their number met death in an unusually tragic manner. He was shot by the cashier of the bank, Johu Calene, and when in a dying condition was perforated with bullets by his own comrades to save themselves from exposure.
The men rode into town on fast horses. They pulled up with a jerk in front of the bank, and while one robber remained seated holding the bridles of the other two horses and jjuurding the emrance to the bank, his two companions entered. A citizen who was transacting business at the counter quickly complied with their command to throw up his hands. The cashier was ordered to turn over what money he had and relucantly complied. It was but a few minutes from the time the bandits turned their horses Into the business street before they were again mounted and away with all the ready cash the bank had
Shot by the *Hthior. 7
The moment the robbers were out of the building the cashier secured his gun, and, rushing to the door, opened tire on them. A bullet from the cashier's weapon lodged in the back of one of the fleeing men. He staggered in his saddle for a moment., but kept his seat and galloped on. He was too badly wounded, however, to continue, and before he had gone a quarter of a mile his bod3* fell heavily to the ground.
Killed by Hi* omrudes.
His comrades, who tip to this time had kept right ahead, pulled their horses up, and riding back to the prostrate man fired several shots Into his body and rode away When picked up the deserted outlaw was dead. Nobody knew him and nothing to identify him was on his person. It is believed the three were a scattered portion of the Cook gang working their way west after having been separated from the main S|ody nnd driven from their haunts in
Indian territory. The bank has offered a reward of $200 each for the capture of the robbers, dead or ulive. The sheriffs of three counties have organized forces which are now in search of the bandits. The bank officials are keeping the. amount stolen secret.
