OUIGO OF GOLD hear® end Treasury Dep’t Officials Confi dent Exportation About Over. Grain Crop to Stop it. Washington, D. C. —Treasury Depart ment officials are confident the usuftl expectation of gold is drawing to an end and predict there will be little gold exported from now on which had not been contracted for before the exchange rate fell. The sudden decline in ex change rates to a point where the ex portation of gold is no longer highly profitable, is taken as an indication that the heavy shipments of gold al ready made to Eurbpe have satisfied the demaifd in a measure and a further decline is expected by the treasury de partment. “The exportation of gold is bound to cease with the movement of the grain crop from the United States to Eu rope.” Geo. E. Roberts, director of the mint, said today: “Europe has al ready begun to buy large quantities of American wheat, although the wheat is no tyet ready for shipment.” Mr. Roberts also called attention to the fact that the heavy season for im ports into the United States is over and there is reason to believe that the heavy exportation of grain will make a more favorable foreign trade showing for the United States. Already fifteen ships have been char tered for wheat shipments to Europe and exporters are said to be seeking more vessels for July and August sailings.

Epery club in the league was represented bp the respective presidents with the exception of Macon, that dub being represented by proxy. Sunburned Officers and Men of the Utah in N. Y. New York. —Officers and men of battleship Utah, sunburned by their long stay in Mexican waters, attract ed much attention on the streets to day. The Utah arrived off Staten Island last night to tie up at the navy yard for a three months overhauling.

Lynn, a marine man of this city has received an apparently authentic report that the overturned hull of one of the steamers which foundered In the great storm of last November has n located a short distance from Goderich, Ont., in Lake Huron.

Ahlanta, Ga. —The hotels are filling rapidly with members- of the Georgia legislature, coming for the fifty-day ses sion which begins tomorrow. Most of tlie law’-makers have a bill or two up their pleeves and some have several. There Is everything from a bill to put on an extra dog tax to an act to amend an act defining the boundaries of Hog Wallow precinct. The house, so far, is without a real leader. Just wdio will make himself the Napoleon of the representatives is yet to be discovered, but it is probable that out of the rank and file some general will arise before the session is well un der way. The tax equalization bill is likely to bring on the big fight of the year. It passed last session by a bare one vote, and its opponents are confident of re pealing it this yeaV. The hill prohibit ing the shipment of liquor into dry ter ritory is apt to bring on a general pro hibition-anti battle before it is settled. The bill was buried in ccmltteq last year after a bitter fight but is sure to reach a final vote this session. The school book question. Representa tive McGrory’s bill to have the state publish school books, is also still on the calendar, and to judge from the Bews paper controversy of the past winter is likely to be debated with considerable acrimony- The leasing of the Western and At lantic roailroad properties is also to come up, and with it the Atlanta plan to erect a great concrete plaza ovet the tracks of several railroads within the heart of Atlanta. The city is heartily back of the plaza plan and the leaders say the state would profit as much as the city by co-operating in putting the plaza across. The salary versus the fee system arises again in Representative Mc- Michael’s bill to put solicitors-gonenl on a straight salary. While it would materially reduce the income of sol'ci tors in the larger cities, it might be of advantage in quiet counties where cases are few and fees far between. The child labor fight is already be ing vigorously launched by its support ers and a red hot fight is anticipated. The strike now on in .an Atlanta cotton mill is expected to play an Unportant figure in the debate. The /irst harbinger of the legislature today was John T. Boifeiullet, clerk of the house, who arrived in his usual spot less apparel and his ever ready smile to prepare the house for business. U. S. Supreme Court Has Adjourned Until October .Washington, D. C.—The supreme court Monday adjourned until October after deciding the Inter-Mountain rate case, the California oil land grant case, the Eastern States Retail Lumber Dealers’ suit, and several other Important eases pending for many months.

"Was this patriotism?” he asked. Local Self Government. Referring to Charleston, the speaker wgnted to know If Governor Rlense had tried to enforce the law, especially re ferring to gambling. In an attempt to answer the chief executive’s claim that he believes in local self-government the speaker said: "He has repudiated the idea of local self-government except us administered by Hleaso and the Rleas- Ites. In referring to the pardon of "Portland New” Mr. Pollock said: “Gov ernor Blease brought him to his office and when he found a United Stales mar shal] was waiting for the criminal, ho slipped the criminal out. perhaps clad In one of Governor Rlease’s suits, having on one of the famous slouch hats and a drooping black mustache, away to free doom.” The speaker continued Ids at tnck on Governor Rlease concluded by saying that voters should not send any man to the United States senate who is not in thorough accord with the na tional administration, which Governor Please, he said, has done everything possible to antagonize. lie referred to Senator Smith a* a "Joke" and a mail nf “hot air.” Senator Smith Last.

That TWO MILLION bonus ballot offered to tile contestant turning in tho largest number of new subscrip tions before 10 o’clock Thursday night, Juno 25th, lias awakened a great many candidates who thought they didn't have a chance to win, to the great opportunity It gives them to "get in the race," and they are hustling for new subscriptions to boat the band.
