Wall street and In hanking circles 'I hero
has been n steady drain of the ptccious metal

has reached t.'Ul"ifi77. ! ! In IbSl the exports
for the san.o period vvem n-.mM'il , and that
is the only } cnr In n decade that has equalled
or appiuuchcd the present loss of gold The

ordois an unusual method at any time
England is pa } Ing the largest piemlum for
gold It over did before The mombeis of the
conference were divided as to the cause of
the demand. Some felt coitain that it portended
tended nn European war and that the forcitrn
governments were slmplv preparing them
selves for the pending conflict. Tnov in
stanced the strained iclntions between sev
eral of the j > io.it powers nnd the condition of
the standing aunles in France. Germany nnd
Hussla. They believed the situation was
such that the sllghtcstspark was all Unit was
necessaiy to sot the conflagration going.
Others , while admitting that the war
Iheoiy might no the correct one-were still
of the opinion that the piosent conditions
were simply Iho reflections of November
last , when Iho great house of .Baring was
threatened with destination and was only
helped out of Its perilous position b } the
Bank of England and other financial In Hi-
, unions. The bank's generoslly resulted in
vtho locking up practically of K.0,000,000 of Its
uinls , and the othei houses interested worn
also crippled to a gteat e\.lent. Hussla , too ,
might at any moment withdiaw her bal
ances from the European banks , where she is
credited with $1KHHIHX ( ) ( ) ) .
Others held to the Idea that the export Is
largely duo to the enormous expoitutions of
foreign goods incidental to thoMcICinley bill
This created a heavy balance of trade against
the United States nnd Europe is now calling
for payment. But whitcvor icason lliocon-
foienco was unanimous that the present
i movement wns not jut ended and that gold
shipments might continue for some weeks or
rvon months jet.
The secrotaiy of the treasury Js not un
mindful of tlio situation , and is now in cor
respondence with le.ullng llminrial men In

Speculation In Wall ' tieet over the
Hank Kn 11 u ic
NFVV YOIIK , May 1) ) . The news from Phila
delphia of the failure of the Spiing Garden
bank caused speculation in Wall street of ru
mors concerning the llnanclal situation in
thiitcit } Tmublo was mpoitcd In the affairs -
fairs of ono of the strongest banks in Phila
delphia , but this was not credited by any
well .Infouned bunker hero Fho bank as.
sailed b } these rumors has n capital of $1.000-
000 , and a suiplus wllli undivided profits , no-
cording to its last statement , of mom than
$ ltXl.OOO. ! Its Now York correspondents aio
banks of the highest standing , and they em
phatic-all } expressed disbelief m the minors
Another story which was circulated that
a largo ttust company In Philadelphia had
failed or was emb irrasscd , but it
was generally considered that this
prow out of the Pennsylvania deposit ami
tiust cumpaii } or an organization which was
connected with the management of the
Spiing Garden bat.k This deposit co'iipati }
was not believed to bo laigo and its tultupsu
was tegnided as a sequel lo the bank's fail
ure ) .
The general opinion among well infouicd
bankers Is that Philadelphia hits had n
strained Ilnnnclnl position siiuo thn culmin
ation of the monev panlo lust November
Because of this more cmdcnco was given to
the disquieting minors than might otherwise
hnvo been the case.
A prominent bink oftlcor said } esterday
that the li list and safety deposit companies
cf Philadelphia vvem not satisfied with Iho
close scrutiny that is provided uy the state
laws of New York ami by the national bunk
ing act. It has been known for some time
that Philadelphia has been an excellent mar-
kclfor city rallvvns , electrio light com-
jmules , gas aud water works and. even
municipal building enterprises , which have
been less rend ) 6f sale In the localities where
the schemes originated. Many of these en
terprises are admitted to bo perfectly legiti
mate nnd fdll of promise of profit ,
but tbo securities nro not of n
character in which realization can
possibly bo made when n monetary pinch Is
left by the Institutions which have made ad
vances It Is supposed that the disaster to
the Spring Garden bank and the trust com
pany allied to It may havegrnivn out of some
complication nilslng from this kind of In
vestment
The Now Yoik correspondents of the
Spiing Garden National bank are the Han
over National bank and the National Bank of
tno Republic At both of these Institutions
nothing could bo lelined of the causes of the
failure ot the Philadelphia Institution or its
probable extent.

Issued from the United States
Oltluc.
AVASIIINOTOV , May 0 - The following
weather crop bulletin was issued from the
signal ollloo today :
Temperature The week has been cold In
all agricultural districts east of the Kockv
mountains and frosts hava occurred later this
season than usual as far south as the north-
cm portions of the south Atlantic and Gulf
states. While the tempcratuic Las been but
slightly lower than that experienced along
the gulf mid south Atlantic coasts it has
uv01 aged fiom H to 8 degrees lower than
usual throughout the ccntuil valleys , the
lake tcgton nnd the Atlantic states. Nonnal
temperature bos prevailed along the Pacific
coast , whllo the week was warm over the
plateau and Hocky mountain region.
The cold weather during the past week
hns matciiully leduced the seasonal excess of
temporatuio previously reported in the
upper Mississippi valley nnd thence cast-
waid to New York and at this date the excess
In temperature over the central valleys nud
southern states amounts to generally less
than 1 degree per day , while in Texas nnd on
the Pacltic coast the seasonal deficiency Is
geneiatly less than 1 degree per day.
Precipitation Theio was a general de
ficiency in rainfall east of the Hocky moun
tains during the week , the only regions re-
poiUng an excess being a small area Includ
ing portions ot Missouri , Arkansas nnd In
dian territory and sou them portions of Illi
nois , Mississippi , Texas and eastern 1 lorida.
There was au excess in lalnfall in the Hooky
mountain districts and on the Pacific coast
except in southern California. Only local
showers were reported generally through the
region east of the Mississippi , and in the
upper Mississippi and Missouri valleys the
continued absence of rain in the
principal atrrclultural districts has
ooon unfavorable to growing crops ,
notwithstanding the previous excess
In moisture duo to precipitation In the early
part of the season. The seasonal rain fall
continues in excess generallj from Texas
northward to Dakota and from Alabama and
Georgia northeastward to Now Kiurland. In
the Mississippi valley the precipitation generally -
orally exceeds W per cent of the normal ex
cept in some portions of Louisiana , where It
is less than 70 It was very dry In southern
Gcoiginand northern Florida Tbo recent
rains on tno Pacillc coast have proved spe
cially favorable to farming Interests In that
section.
General Remarks- The weather during the
past week has been generally unfavornDlo to
growing crops ow Ing to the unusually low
temperature nnd deficiency In rainfall over
the gicater portion of nil agricul
tural districts east of the Kooky moun
tains The piuvious uiplil growth in
the central vnllojs of the northwest has
been greatly inteiruptod by the cold wave
which extended ns far south as the gulf and
south Atlantic states during the week , at
tended b } damaging frosts as far south ns
Tennessee and 'ho Cuiollnas While the
frosts did but little damage to staple crops , it
Is geneuilly believed that carl > fruits have
betin seilouslj damaged In the states of the
Ohio and central Mississippi vnllojB. Mis
souri reports thi.t in eastern and central
counties grapes woto greatly Injured nnd
corn nnd potatoes cut to the ground In
Dakota high winds with frosts did some in
jury to wheat , oats , buloy and fruits , rain
is needed in n few localities nnd un
frosted crops mo doing well Ho-
poits from Michigan are conflicting
ns to the damage to fiult caused by fiost ,
whllo in Onio the damage is estimated from
'UI to s < ) per cent In Kentucky nil fruits suf
fered severely , grapes weio ruined and many
gardens will have to bo mplantod. In the
cotton legion cool nights have slightly dam
aged the cotton crop nnd the absence of rain
makes the present outlook \ unfavorable
east of the Mississippi , while reports from
the west uuif states show that the cotton
prospects are fav in able. In the middle At-
[ untie stutes crops are generally suffering
on account of drouth , but reports Indicate
that the damage to fruit , icsulting fiom re
cent frosts , is much less than at IIrat esti
mated. Now York reports fruit pros
pects good , wheat excellent nnd n
largo acreage ol eaU aud potatoes ,
Frosts in fruit regions In central lakes and
Lake Erie did little datiyi o to grapes and
peaches. Pennsylvania . reports that her
fruit escaped injury atur'glvo ' good prospects.
In southern New Knglnnd early vegetables
vv cro cut down by frosts nnd fruit and to
bacco were much InJureM ; Keports from Now
Jersey state that early blooming fruit was
considerably damaged , , ujjt that brisk dry
wlhds saved the fnilt crops from entire de
struction The damage to earl1' vegetables
ranged from W ) to IK ) per cunt. In California
hay , strawberries nnd cherries were slightly
damaged by lain , but ether crops ore vastly
improved In Oiegon tjie weather was bene
ficial , but moie rnln Is 'needed cast of the
Cascade range. The frosts which occuucd

_ IIISHOIICIM | Over 1 1 < Matter.
The board of park commissioners metes -
toiday aftcinoon at'J o'clock.
Bids for the old Hanscom parlt house were
opened H G. Clark got the building for
$75 and will remove It fiom the park u }
June 1.
The boird decided to place six arc lights
In Hanscom park and to put a Hag on the
pavilion , tm
The salary of Mr. Adams , super
intendent of parks , was raised
from $100 to &r.'n per month
The salary of Mr. Doano , the secretary , was
also raised from $75 to $100 per month Mr.
Lininger voted in the negative on that prop
osition , nnd explained that while he had no
mult , tolind with Mr. Douno ho believed that
$75 per month was enough for the sei vices
lequirod
Considerable discussion arose as to the
tenting of the Hnnscom park pavilion , nud
with regaid to some changes that Mr Hal
dufT , the lessee , desiics made. The commit
tee appointed to look after tills matter ,
consisting of Mr. Millard and Judge
Lake reported that no couti.ut had jot been
agreed upon , but Mr. liaUlulT had already
moved into the pavilion. At a former meet
ing of the board , when the question of rent
ing the pavilion was discussed , the board
decided to lot the pavilion to Mr. UalduiT
and the committee named was requested to
draw up n contract and ngico us to the
rental , etc
Mr. Millard reported to the effect that the
committee had decided to let Mr. Haiti uft
have the use of the pavilion the ilrst year
free , although ho had sent in his check for
$500 as an offer for the first year. The rea
son the committee had decided to charge
nothing the first year , Mr. Millard said , was
that no one could tell how much the pavilion
was worth to a caterer until he had tried it a
> car. Mr. Ualdruff had promised the com
mittee that ho would make a careful and ac
curate report of his profits at the end of the
first year , and then a piice would bo sot for
the future.
Mr. Lininger was stoutlv opposed to this
arrangement , and notified the members of
the board that it should have no support from
him. Ho believed that it was shameful to
turn over a $15,000 building free of charge to
nnj man , practically without contract.
Mr. Millard nnd Dr. Miller both said that
the question as to how the pavil
ion would bo conducted was the
main one , and a nominal icntnl
with an incompetent occupant would bo far
worse than a free privilege to some who fully
understood how such a place should bo con
ducted and kept. They scorned to think that
Mr. IlaldufI was u man who could and would
tnkn good care of the pavilion and conduct It
properly.
Mr. Mlllard said that It was very Incon
venient to have three members on the com
mittee making arrangements with Mr. linl-
duff as to the minor matters about the pavil
ion , nnd ho therefore wanted the business
delegated to some one member of the com
mittee with power to net.
Mr. Lininger objected to this , saying that
any changes or alterations about the pavil
ion should bo brought bofoio the
full board. Ho said that Mr. Dnl-
dufl and some of the committee
wanted to take out the gcntlo.non's tlosot in
the end of the building , hut ho was opposed
to it , and ho did not wish tosco any ono mem
ber of the committee take it upon himself to
change plans that had been agreed upon.
The motion made by Mr. Millard was car-
lied , and Dr. Miller , the chairman , appointed
Mr. Millard to look after minor matters about
the pavilion.
Judge Lake was present and said that ho ,
did not agree with Mr. Popploton with re
paid to the falluio of the new charter to give
the city council or board of park
commissioners power to condemn prop
erty for pork or boulevard purposes.
Ho believed the charter granted
that right and power , and ho went to his
onico and brought a copy of the new charter ,
but when ho examined the matter more caro-
f nil v he remarked tlint the section was so
badly Jumbled up that no man on earth could
mnlto any sense out of it , and that thn 'No-
biaska legislature of IS'H had done moro
harm than good and the city of Omaha and
the state would hnvo been bettor off if the
session had not been held.
The committee appointed to draw up a
contract with Mr. Ualduff was instructed to
bring the sumo In at the next meeting.

Is quite rlcht that those who may bo engaged

several lines of trade with the energetic en
terprise that characterizes our people , should
now and then assemble , should lay nsido
things that are rorsonal and selfish and con
sider the things that affect the whole com

known them In other states , have ocen the
council chamber in which large and liberal
things have been devised for the development
of the Intoiest nnd prosperity of the com
