tOLD RESERYE GOING

Over a Million Dollar Decrease Recorded Yesterday.

TRUE AMOUNT NOW $45,298,779.

Fears Are Entertained That Much of This Will Go Toward Paying For the New Bonds—President Cleveland Interviewed on the New Bond Issue —Popularity of the ^Latest Loan.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.—The treasury yesterday lost $1,073,800 in gold coiu and $10,400 in bars, leaving the true amount of the reserve $45,298,779. Notwithstanding the success of the new loans fears are entertained that a considerable share of the gold offered in payment will have been withdrawn from the treasury for that purpose. In anticipation of the loan the gold withdrawn from the treasury during the month, from Jan. 6 to Feb. 5, amounted to $7,349,545, which, added to yesterday's withdrawals, makes an aggregate of about $8,500,000.

The magnitude of the subscriptions to the loan which amounted to over $558,000,000 calls attention to the fact that the total amount of gold coin and gold certificates in circulation in the United States is less than $550,000,000 and the natural inference is that a great number of bidders must, have depended upon getting their supply from the treasury or outside sources. What will be the result upon the reserve is a matter of grave concern and while it is expected that it will be augmented by at least $111,000,000 as a result of the present sale, it is not so apparent that 011 the date the last installment becomes due the reserve will not have been reduced to a point not greatly in excess of the $100,000,000 requirement.

CLEVELAND TALKS FINANCE.

An Interview Willi the President Kt'garding the Bond Issue. NEW YORK.

Feb.

7.—The

Evening

Post publishes an interview with President Cleveland regarding the bond issue. 111 which he savs: "From such information as conies to me from various private sources I am convinced that, the more small holdings of gold will be drawn into the treasury by the present arrangement, than appear on the surface. The small country banks, for instance, which are buying bonds tor their customers, have made their bids through their New York and Boston correspondents, and this snves the loan the appearance ot having been taken up by the big financial institutions of the nionev centers, although as a matter ot tan not a little ot it will ultimately come from the small luvestli'rt.

Plie subject ot the svndicate contract ot February, I^Uo. having been mentioned. Mr. Cleveland remarked that he had never had reason to question the wisdom ot that arrangement under the conditions then existing. ••That contract lie added, '-helped us ou! ar a tune when 48 hours' delay litigut' have produced serious results. I svmpavm/.e. nevertheless, with some of the onje.'l ions made to that form of placing a loan. The difference between the price obtained from the syndicate and the price cnrrentlv quoted can be twisted into an argument which will appeal to people who do not stop to calculate the actual cost of the syndicate oi floating the loan at that time. "Mv preference would have been, to have the present loan much more popular than it appears 011 its face, but we have done the best we could. The peopel who hoard small savings of gold or the equivalents of gold are unaccustomed to transacting business 011 the basis 011 which these bonds had to be issued they are unused to premiums or the formality of making bids. If we could have sold them 3 per cent gold bonds at par I think it would have brought out a good deal ot this gold but the only bonds the law allows us to issue have to be sold considerably above par 111 order to keep the net rate of interest within reasonable limits."

OF CONGRESS.

Passed by the

Fight Bill Senate.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 7.—One of the most interesting features of the senate's session yesterday was the presentation ot the credentials ot Senator-elect Foraker. Senator .John Sherman was recognized ciirlv the session and sent to the desk a

JI Indsonie

morocco case tied

with a broad blue ribbon. It was presented to Vice .President Stevenson, who opened and finding it the credentials oi the election oi .Joseph Benson Foraker as senator lrom Ohio, to succeed Calvin b. Unco, gave it to the chiet clerk, who read, the papers. The credentials were handsomely engrossed 111 old English text 011 parchment. Alter the reading the parchment was put back in its case and sent out to the secretary's office to be filed away.

The Catron anti-pmo fight lull was then passed. It will probably be sent to the president tomorrow and it 1 considered almost certain that it will be signed promptly by linn, thus making it a law and operative immediately. With this law on the statute books the whole government authority, judicial and, if necessary, military, will be invoked to see that the prize light is stopped.

The senate tree coinage suostitue for the house bond bill was debated five hours 111 the house yesterday afternoon and for three hours at the night session. Nevertheless the pressure of members for time to present their views is so great that it seems possible now that the debate may run over into next week.

Driven to It by His Old Wound. WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.—John Shea, a

He evidently tfas unbalanced mentally from^ a.wound ^ece^ved duriyg the war.

THIRTEEN LIVES LOST.

Workmen Hurled Into an Icy Kiver by the Collapse of a Bridge. NEW BRITAIN, Conn., Feb. 7.—A

bridge on the New England railroad over the Pequebuck river near Bristol, collapsed about 9 o'clock last night, carrying with it 20 workmen, of which 13 are believed to have perished. Among the dead is John O'Brien, foreman, of East Hartford. The names of the missing are unknown.

The fierce storm which swept over the state yesterday afternoon played havoc with New England railroad bridges and the swollen waters of the Pequebuck river threatened to carry the bridge away. At 5 o'clock a special wrecking train with 40 men left East Hartford and were put to work on the new bridge which the company is building over the river and which is almost completed. It was intended to put the new bridge in shape at once so that trains could cross the river. The old bridge was declared unsafe and 20 workmen were put to woik on each bridge.

About 5 o'clock one of the foremen, John Barry, called the 20 men on the old structure toward the center to assist iu tearing up the ties which were wanted for the other bridge. The weight of the men was too great for the bridge and hardly without a moment's warning it collapsed with a loud noise, precipitating 16 Ar 17 of the men into the raging waters of the river. Three or fom* were caught by falling timbers and seriously injured. Three managed to cling to fragments of the bridge and were rescued by a number of their comrades, who rushed over from the new bridge as soou as they learned the extent of the disaster.

The tottering condition of the remaining portions of the old bridge rendered the work of reaching the men impossible and had a boat been available nothing could have held it against the mad rush of the waters. The unfortunate inen in the water attempted to seize sticks and portions of the abutments which had broken loose, but not more tliau live or six were successful. The others were carried down stream and were quickly lost to sight in the darkness.

Two men were able to swim ashore, but fell exhausted as soon as they reached land. .John Barry, foreman in charge.of the old bridge., was extricated from the mass of wreckage and debris which collected where the bridge gtive way, and was found to be badly wounded. He and tlie other rescued men were taken to a farm house near by and cared for. The foreman was unable to give the name of the men who were 011 the bridge with him at the time.

As soon as the railroad officials were notified of the collapse a special train was sent out from East Hartford with two surgeons and another gang of wreckers. A gang of 20 men rigged impromptu rafts and scows and began a search for the bodies. Others were sent down be .h sides of the liver to see if anyone had been fortunate enough to reach the shore. No more bodies were found and it was the general opinion that the men had 110 chance of reaching the shore alive.

Most of the men live in Hartford and East Hartford and nearly all have families.

TWO KILLED AND TWO INJURED.

A Condemned Three-Story Building Collapses I11 Brooklyn. BROOKLYN',

Feb.

7.—Two

The dead are: James Quigley, proprietor of tlie cooperage shop, and Simon Leaman, a workman.

The injured are: Michael Mulcahy, probably fatally, and Daniel Meeliaii. slightly.

The building seemed to give way in the center and the whole south side was totally wrecked. The building had been shaking in the wind for some time and it is supposed the center of the roof gave way.

Meeliaii heard the cracking of the building iu time to make his escape and he directed the rescuers to tlio place where the others had been at work when the crash came.

Mulcahy was tlie first one reached, his groans aiding the men in finding him. He is badly cut and bruised and unable to move, evidently being seriously injured internally. He became unconscious after being removed and the ambulance surgeon thought he could not possibly recover.

Quigley had been buried under many feet of bricks, plaster and heavy timbers. Death had evidently been due to internal injuries.

Leaman's body was all doubled up and badly crushed. Ho had evidently beeu killed instantly.

NORTHWEST." He Ts a millionaire*, and it is therefore unreasonable to sua:, pose that his work along historical line® was animated by any spirit of seltishnesO or sordidnoss. No other man is so weli equipped for the 'task he self-imposed. He has been a conspicuous figure in Indiana almost continuously since it wafl admitted to Statehood. He was secretary! of the Constitutional Convention, and nl» personality is strongly marked in the organic law as well as In much of subsequent legislation. His great wealth ha» afforded him opportunities for devoting his entire attention to literary labor. Hlg intimacy with public men and State an« Federal officials, has given him exceptional facilities for gaining access to documents necessary to Insure thoroughness and exactness In the preparation or n» history.
