Washington, December 7. In reference to the reported recent sales of Government gold in New York, it has been learned that no specific orders nave been given by the Secretary of the Treasury to sell. Van Dyke, the Assistant Treasurer in New York, has discretionary 'power to sell such amounts of gold as he may deem necessary to prevent the success of any combination to put the price of gold up to an unreasonable figure. It is the opinion of the Secretary that there is nothing at this time in the financial situation of the country that will justify a premium on gold of over forty per cent., and except that in the event of an effort on the part of speculators to advance the premium unreasonably here, there is no reason to suppose

thatihe , Government -.gold will ke thrown upon tt a market.! ' The amount of fold novr in i the

' V ' At ; the close he called upon the Unitarian and Universalist denominations to go forward together, not in any formal union, but with the baptism of the same spirit of love. ! His appeal for a closer sympathy of the two Liberal bodies touched the right point as an opening ;for future action. ,It was,. voted ' that' the conference should - be called the "New York Central rr, Conference of Liberal Christians.' A series of j propositions , -.forming i a plan of work , were ' submitted, ,, among which were : the desirableness of an epistolary- correspondence between the different sunday ! schools in the conference. , - f . a. i . ' The practicability ; of supporting a missionary; South, ' for the twofold parpose . of preaching and distributing publications to whites and blacks.
