GOLD ON THE WAY BACK.
A Shipment of $900,000 En Route
to New York from England.
A Belief That It Marks a Turn in the
Tide of Gold Exports—The Total
Shipments from This Country Dur
the Eleven Months Ending May
31, 8108,965,950—The Imports Dur
ing the Same Period, 820,164,699.
Washington, June 21—United States
Treasurer Morgan to day received a cable
gram from London, stating that Baring,
Magoun & Cos. of New York and London
had shipped S9OO 000 of gold to the United
States. This is the first shipment of for
eign gold in any considerable quantity to
the United States for the present month
and is looked upon as showing that the
tide in the gold exports from this country
to Europe had turned. During the eleven
months begining July first, 1892, and end-
May 31st, 1893. The amount of gold ship
ped from the United States to Europe, ac
cording to tho figures furnished by the
Bureau of statistics of the Treasury De
partment, amounted $105,965,960, Dur
ing the same period gold was Im
ported from Europe to tho United
States to the amountof $20,104,699, leav
ing a balance against us In that period of
$85,000,000.
During the five months of the present
calendar year beginning January and
ended May 81, the amount of gold export
ed was $71,008,044, the imports during the
same period being $10,749,301, or a balunoe
against us of $01,000,000 In round figures-
For the past three weeks no gold has
been exported from New York to Europe
and as a consequence of tho natural accre
tion, the treasury department has been
gaining gold during that period, the net
gold balance to-day standing at J94,050,-
010.00. In the building up of this gold
the treasury department has redoomed
nearly $6,000,000.00 goW certificates, the
amount outstanding being $98,000,000.00
against $104,000,000.00 on June 1.
While the receipts and expenditures of
the treasury department have kept “neck
and neck” during the month, the expenses
being quite hoavy and the receipts slightly
less than usual, the stated balance to-day
is $26,420,415. Of this amount $12,253,000
is In subsidiary silver and minor coin and
$11,921,000 in national bank depositories.
This statement shows that the treasury
is provided with a good working
currency balanco, so good that it
is probable, though, as yet, not determ
ined, that tho treasury will anticipate
the quarterly interest due July 1 on tfie
United States four per cent, bonds and
Pacific railroad bonds, and pay this in
terest next week. Treasurer Morgan
says he is in good condition to do this and
only awaits the direction of Secretary
Carlisle to send out the interest checks.
Many of these are now made out and It
is probable, should Secretary Carlisle de
cide to anticipate the July interest, that
most of tho checks could be pYe
nared and sent out by the
middle of next week. The only object in
anticipating tho interest, which in point
of fact would be loss than ten days, would
be to relievo the money market to the ex
tent of the interest paid. This would re
lease $7,000,000 Daw in the treasury and put
a like amount into active circulation in the
business centres of the country.
A WIFE'S LOVER BURNED ALIVE.
The Woman's Husband Thrsw a
Lighted Lamp on Him,
Milan, Tenn., June 21.—For some time
past Dr. John Hood, of Aden, sixteen
miles north of here, has suspeeted that
improper relations existed between his
wife and William Piper. Monday night
Dr. Hood left home ostensibly on a vjsit
to a patient, but instead hid in an out
building near the house. In iess than an
hour Piper entered the house. Dr. Hood
forced his way to his wife’s bedroom and
found his wife and Piper in a very com
promising situation. The doctor at
tempted to shoot, Piper, but tho pistol
snapped. Snatching a coal-oil lamp burn
ing on the table near by, tho wronged
husbaud dashed the missile at Piper’s
head, the glass horribly cutting his
face. The lamp exploded, the oil running
in streams of fire over Piper's body burn
ing his right ear off, destroying the sight
of both eyes, literally cooking his breast
and shoulders and burning his hair and
beard. He died in less than an hour.
The unfaithful wife threw herself upon
tho body of the mass of charred flesh and
cried for death to take her with her
lover. All the parties are prominent peo
ple in this section.
CHANGES IN^CONSULS.
Assistant Secretary Quincy Weeding
Out the Republicans.
Washington, June 21—As a result of the
enormous pressure brought to bear upon
tho department of state, nearly ono third
of the United States consuls abroad have
been changed. There aro about 300 con
suls in the servico, but owing to the small
compensation attached to a number of
places and tho difficulty of se
curing competent persons who are
willing to accept them. The number
of really desirable posts paying
not less than $1,500 per annum does not
exceed 250, and of these Assistant Secre
tary of state, Quincy, has mado changes
up to Juno 15 in 83 consumes.

LELAND STANFORD DEAD.
The Senator Found a Corpse in His
Bedroom by His Valet.
San Fhancisco, June 2L—Senator
Leland Stanford died at his home in Palo
Alto last night.
Gov. Stanford was in the best of spirits
yesterday. He took a drive around his
stock farm and seemed as well as ever.
He retired shortly after 10 o’clock and
about midnight his valet going into the
Governor's bedroom discovered that he
was dead.
Leland Stanford was one of the best
known republicans in the country. His
claims to fame rest upon his immense
fortune, variously estimated to amount
to from S4O, 000,000 to 75,000,000, upon his
long term in the United State Senate,
npon his founding of a magnificent un
iversity in California and upon his stock
farm Palo Alto. Besides these he is well
known as formerly the president of , the
Central Pacific Railroad Company and
as the governor of California; but these
were the steps that led to his fortune and
subsequent celebrity. He was a native
of New York state, having been born in
Albany county in 1824. By profession he
was a lawyer. At the age of twenty,
after having received an academic educa
tion, he began the study of law and in
three years was admitted to the New
York state bar. Shortly afterwards he
removed to Washington territory, where
he was burned out. That appears to
have been the end of his career as a law
yer, for he next turned up as a gold
miner in California, and ever since that
time up to the day of his death he had been
turning up gold. In 1856, the miner hav
ing saved up something, he went to San
Francisco and embarked in the mercan
tile business, and in which business he
laid the foundation of his fortune, which,
his later successful railroad enterprises
boomed into round figures. Ho was the
first president of the Central Pacific, and
was elected in 1861. The same year he
was elected governor of California, as
which he served two years. Mr. Stan
ford was president of the Central Pacific
at the time the greatest spurt of railroad
building on record, probably, was made.
In 293 days 536 miles of road was built, in
eluding grading and everything else.
His first appearance in politics
was as a delegate to the
convention that nominated Abraham
Lincoln. In 1885 he was elected to the
United States Senate, and had been re
electedup to the present. He was always a
stalwart republican, though of late years
he developed some vagaries with regard
to finance that were not popular with his
party. Mr. Stanford had only ono son.
That son died before he had passsed boy
hood, and to perpetuate his memory his
father founded in California, under the
name of Leland Stanford, Jr., university,
one of the greatest schools on this conti
nent. It Is estimated that the cost
to him was $20,000,000.00. Included in the
trust fund established for the maintenance
of the university is a vineyard of 30,000
acres, one of the largest in the world.
AINSWORTH TO BE INDICTED.
The Government not to Prejudioe His
Case by Suspending Him.
Washington, June 21.—1 t has been prac
tically determined that the army court of
inquiry to investigate the Ford’s theater
disaster will not meet until the grand
jury has acted on the case of Col. Ains
worth. The grand jury is now in session
and is likely to take up the presentment
of Col. Ainsworth, Contractor Dant
and Messrs. Covert and Sasse. This
week. So far as the action of the grand
jury is concerned it has been determined
that whatever its findings, and there is
little doubt that Col. Ainsworth will be
indicted. Col. Ainsworth case shall not
be predjudiced by suspension from duty
or by any other action within the province
of the war department.
LOOKS LIKE A STRIKE.
The Iron and Steel Workers Refuse to
Accept a Cut in Wages.
Pittsburg, Pa., June 21.—The confer
cnco between tho iron and steel sheet
manufacturers and amalgamated associa
tion committee bus proven fruitless. The
amalgamated committee have gono to
their homes. No more conferences on the
scale aro likely, and there seems a
strong probability of trouble. Neither side
will talk, but enough is known to justify
the statmont that the men will not accept
the reductions asked by the manufactur
ers. The iron wage committee will con
tinue the conference with the manufac
turers. • No agreement Is expected in this
scale either, as the manufacturers de
mand reductions In the wage scale
that the workers will not accept.
DIXIES DEAD PRESIDENT
A plea for the (JoUection of Funds to
Ereot a Monument.
Richmond, Va., June 21—At a meeting
of the Jefferson Davis Monument Associ
ation held to-night the special committee
appointed to prepare a plan for the
collection of funds presented its rejwrt,
which was adopted. The president of
the association was authorized to commu
nicate with the grand commander of the
confederate veterans asking his co-opera
tion.
Thanks were tendered Dr. W. W. Par
ker of this city for the suggestion of the
collection of funds by the children of the
Sunday schools throughout the south,
and authority was given him for the pro
mulgation of a plan to that end.

DEATH IN A CIRCUS TENT.
Lightning Strikes it While the Show
is in Progress.
Beven of the Inmates Killed Instant
ly—Many Persons Injured, But None
of Them Will Die—A Wild Stampede
Averted by the Coolness of the Pro
prietors of the Show.
St. Paul, Minn., Juno 21.—During a
severe thunder storm this afternoon at
River Falls, Wis., just over tho Minne
sota line, lightning struck the oenUflr pole
of the circus tent of Ringling Bros. Seven
people were killed instantly, and quite a
number were injured, none of the latter
fatally.
The killed are: O. A. Dean; Eugene
Reynolds, a carpenter; A 14-year-old son
of O. P. Wiggins: a 12-year-old son of
Cortis Aldrich; J. A. Glendening, town
clerk of Oak Grove, and an unknown boy.
The greatest consternation followed.
The rain continued falling in great sheets,
and the bodies of the dead wero soaked
through before they could be removed.
Ringling Bros. , and their employes did
every thing in their jx>wor to alleviate
tho condition of tho wounded.
The dead were taken down town and laid
out on the floor of an engine house, where
they were, with the exception of the un
known boy, indentified in a few minutes
after their arrival.
The scene as relatives identified their
dead was distressing. One eldeNy gen
tlemen, the father of young Dean, fainted
and was carried out of the engine house.
The clothing on some of the dead was
tom in shreds, while others presented no
external evidence of the fatality except
the awful stare and fixed rigid features.
The number wounded is estimated all
the way from ten to thirty. Most of them
were taken home as soon as possible and
are now doing well.
Tho presence of mind of the liinglings
and their employes prevented a stampede
which undoubtedly would have been
attended with still greater fatalities. The
crowd was held In check and the dead and
wonnded removed as soon and as quietly
as possible.
LIZZIE BORDEN RETURNS HOME.
The Sisters Said to Have Broken
Down Completely on Entering.
Fall River, Mass., June 21.—Lizzie Bor
den returned with her sister this morn
ing to her home on Second street, after
having spent the night at Charles B.
Holmes’ residence on Pino street. They
drove up to the gate in a closed carriage
and their entrance was most painful to wit
ness. There were very few spectators for
the crowds of last night knew nothing of
the hour when the long Imprisoned girl
would return. They denied themselves
to all newspaper men in accordenco with
the suggestions of their counsel.
The sofa on which Mr. Borden lay when
he was murdered is at the central police
station and will not be removed for a day
or two. Lizzie spent a very pleasant
night, and was very cheerful at breakfact
in the Holmes residence this morning. A
domestic in the family house on Second
street, is reported to have said that, the
two girls broke down completely when
they had entered their old home.

telegramsof congratulation from all parts
the country, and Miss Borden’s mail at
the postofflee is very heavy.
The temper of the people of the city has
been changed greatly by the verdict, and
there is manifest respect for tho decision
of tho jury.

POPE LFO AND THE SCHOOLS.
Cardinal Gibbons Gives Out a Copy of
the Encyclical.
Baltimore, Juno 21—Curdlnal Gibbons
has given to the press a copy of theoflicial
transaction of tho much discussed ency
clical letter from Pope Leo on the school
question. It shows the Pope’s lovo for
America, eulogizes Monsignor Sutolli, and
gives the twofold purpose of his mission.
His jxisition on the school question as ex
plained to the archbishops in Now
York, misunderstood by others, is
indorsed by tho pope, who declares it to
be in hunnony with tho action of tho
council of Baltimore, which remains in
its integrity. After referring to the
action of Mgr. Satolli at tho meeting of
the archbishops in Now York, when ho
laid before the imeoting certain prop
ositions on the school question, the pope
says :
“But these propositions of our delegate
having been inopportunely made public
minds were at once excited and controver
sies started afresh, which, through mal
ignant imputations scattered abroad in
newspapers, grew more widespread and
moro serious. Then certain prelates of
your country, whether displeased with
the interpretations put upon some of these
propositions or fearing harm to the soul
which it seemed to them might thence
result, confided to us the reason of their
anxiety, and we, knowing that the sal
vation of the south is a supreme law to
be ever assiduously borno in mind by us;
wishing, moreover, to givo you another
proof of our solicitous affection, requested
that each of you should in a private let
ter fully open his mind to us on the sub
ject, which was diligently complied with
by each ono os you. From an examina
tion of these letters it becamo mani
fest to us that some of you found in
the propositions no reasons for apprehen
sion ; while to others It seemed that the
propositions partially abrogated discip
linary law concerning tho schools enacted
by the council of Baltimore and thay feared
that the diversity of interpretation put
upon them would engender dissensions
whieli would prove detrimental to tho
Catholic school
“After carefully weighing the matter
we are convinced that such interpreta
tions are totally alien from tho meaning
of our delegates, as they are assured they
are far from the mind of this apostolio
see. The principal propositions of
fered by him wore drawn from the decrees
of the third plenary council of Baltimore,
and especially declare that Catholic
schools are to be most sedulously pro
moted, nnd that it is to V>o left tb the judg
ment and conscience of ordinary to decide
according to circumstances when it
is lawful and when unlawful to attend
public schools. Now if the words of any
speaker are so to be taken that the latter
part of hisdiscourse shall bo understood to
agree, and not to disagree with what he
had said before, it is surely unbecoming
and unjust so to explain his later utter
ances as to make them disagree with the
preceding one; and this is the more true
since the moaning of the writer
was not at all obscure. For while
presenting his propositions to the dis
tinguished meet ing In New York, he ex
pressly declared (as is evident from the
minutes) his admiration of the interest
manifested by the bishops of North Amer
ica in the most wise decrees enacted by'
the third plenary council of Baltimore for
ttie promotion of Catholic Instruction of
tho young. He addod, moreover, that these
decrees in so far as they contain a general
rule of action, are faithfully to bo observ
ed; and that although tho public
schools are not to be entire
ly condemned, since cases
may occor, as the council Itself had
foreseen, in which it is lawful to attend.
still every enfloavor should bo made to
multiply Catholic schools and to bring
them to perfect equipment. But in order
that, in a matter of so grave imi>ortanee,
there may remain no further
room for doubt or for dissension of
opinion as we have already declared in
our letter of tho 23d of May of last year
to our venerable brethren the Archbishop
and Bishops of the provlijcpof New York,
so we again, as far as need be, declare that
tho docrees which the Baltimore councils,
agreeably to directions of the Holy See,
have enacted eoncercing parochial schools,
and whatever else has boon prescribed by
Roman ponttffs, whether directly or
through the sacred congregations con
cerning the same matter, aro to be stead
fastly observed.

DEATH OF TTIEWHITE CAP
The Demise of Downs Pats Rogers in
a Bad Box.
A Bullet Extracted From Downs’ Arm
of the Same Size as That Which
Caused the Death of Junius Law
rence Downs Declined to Make Any
New Statement.
Sundersville, Ga., Juno 21.—The second
chapter of the white cap outrage ended
last night at 9 o’clock in tho doath of
William Downs, one of the men who was
in the party that mude the attack on
Junius Lawrence, in the lower part of
Washington county, on Sunday night,
May 21.
The white caps went to Lawrene’s
house and called him out for the purpose
of whipping him. He knocked them down
as fast as they closed around him, and
one of them Jerked out his pistol and shot
him. William Downs was shot In the
elbow on the same night. Dr. Frank Pea
cock was called to see him In consultation
with Dr. P. B. Bedlngfleld, and to thorn
he said that he had been shot at
Junius Lawrence’s house by Hun
Rogers, and that tho latter had also shot
Lawrence. This confession was made in
confidence, and on the promise that the
physicians would not divulge the secret.
They concluded that they were bound by
professional honor not to tell what Downs
hud confessed to them, hut tho case
assumod such serious aapocts that
they were forced to do
so at the preliminary investigation before
the Justice’s court. Four others were
named by Downs, but they nil ran away
before they could bo arrested, and are
still at large. Downs and Rogers were
both arrested and Jailed.
DIED FROM BLOOD POTSONtNO.
The ball In Downs’s arm lodged In the
elbow Joint, botwoen the bones, and could
not be located. His arm became so badly
swollen that it was impossible to extract
it, und he would not consent to amputa
tion. Fever sot in and finally blood poison,
since which time he has been gradually
growing worse. His physicians informed
him yesterday that it would bo impossible
for him to live another day, but notwith
standing this he hoped to get well, saying
that he would tell all about tho killing of
Lawrence If he should live to get on the
witness stand. Nothing more than his
confession to tho physician who first at
tended him could be obtained from him.
He wouldn’t give any of tho details of the
tragedy, although he was urged to do so by
Rev. H. A. Hodges and Dr. William Raw
lings, who were with him a short time
before his death, and urged him to do so
in the interest of good government, and
for the satisfaction of tho good citizens of
tho county.
This morning, Dr. Frank Peacock," who
attended Downs when he was first shot,
extracted the ball from his elbow. It is
a 38 calibre —the same size as the one ex
tracted from the body of Junius Lawrence
after his death. This is considered con
clusive evidence that the balls producing
the death of botli Lawrence and Downs
were fired from the same pistol,
and corroborates Downs’s statement
that Rogers had shot them both.
Before Downs died, Rogers who is con
fined in a cell near by, requested Sheriff
Wall to ask Downs if he was not mis
taken in saying that he did the shooting.
To this Downs replied that he had al
ready told him atl ho wanted to say.
ROOEItS IN A BAI) BOX.
The case now assumed a very serious
aspect for Rogers. There seernes to bo
no doubt of his guilt, and if he rannot
prove an alibi it is the general opinion of
our people that he will hang. Ilis trial
will come up at the September term of
Washington superior court.
The people from all parts of the coun
try aro agreed that an example should be
made of Rogers to prevent any farther nt
t unpts of lawlessness, and if his guilt can
be established, of which there now seems
to be no doubt, ho will be sure to pay the
full penalty of the law.
A coroner’s Inquest was hold over the
body of Downs this morning, and testi
mony was taken to the effect that Downs
had said to reliable witnesses that the
wound in his arm was produced from a
pistol ball fired by Rogers who
intended this bullet for Law
rence. The law defines this as murder,
although the pistol was not fired with
the Intention of killing Downs. He in
tepdod to kill Lawrence and accidentally
shot Downs. Therefore he will have to
answer to two charges of murder.

MADRID’B EXPLOSION.
A Panto In a Circus Results In th
Loss Of Two Lives.
Madrid, June 21.—Great excitement
prevails throughout tho city In con
sequence of tho dastardly attempt lost
night to blow up with dynamite the res
idence of Seller Cauovns Del Gastello,
lately prime minister. At the time of tho
explosion a performance was being given
at a circus a short dcstance
from the residence of Senor
Conovas del Costello. Tho shock was so
great that it caused part of the ceiling
directly over the stalls occupied by a party
of nobles to crash down upon tho heads
of the occupants of tho stalls. Blinded
by the dust that filled tho ulr and with
tho roar of the explosion still vibrating
through the building tho people panic
stricken made a rush for tho exit,
paying no attention to those nnlucky
enough to tumble and fall, but trampling
upon them in frantic efforts to escape.
Among the occupants of tho stalls wore
a grandson of tho Marquis of Havana,
the president of the senate and a son of
tho Morquis Guadelest. The former
wus struck on tho head by a
large piece of the falling
ceiling and sustained injuries that will
cause his death lu a few hours. Tho son of
Marquis Gwaddest attempted to rush from
the building, but lost his footing and the
panic stricken crowd trampled him to
death. Ills body was removed from the
building, His face was liard’y recogniz
able. Seven other persons were
trampled upon by the crowd and seriously
injured, while a large number who escaped
unaided from the building sustaltiod pain
ful but cot dangerous injuries. It is gen
erally beiloved that the explosion wus tho
work of anarchists whose headquarters
