Big Gold Engagements. *
New York, Sept 14.—The engage
ment of 32,500,000 in gold by Lazard &
V Freres for export to-day created a pro
found sensation in Wall street. The
Jfact that Messrs, Lazard arid Freres
§*re important members of the gov
ernment bond syndicate increases the
already great surprise in the matter of
Bhipment. A member of the firm
lade the following statement to a
^reporter: “We believed that during
the first half of September a sufficient
imount of grain and cotton and other
bills would have been offering, and
that the necessity bf exporting this
fold would thus be averted. Our ship
ment of gold is an imperative neces
sity in order to fulfill our business ob
ligations with Europe. We believe
(that it will be a temporary expedient
>nd that within the next few weeks
plenty of bills will be offering and that
everything will come around all
right.” The firm recite the low prices
^ruling for breadstuffs, the slow move
ment of cotton and the fair supply of
that staple already in European hands
as causna.for the lack of bills of ex
change anU the necessity of gold ship
ments.
Other engagements for shipment to
morrow swell the aggregate to $1,500,
000. Of this sum, $3,500,000 was drawn
from the sub-treasury this morning.
The Hanover National bank depos
ited $500,0')0 in gold at the sub-treas
ury in exchange for greenbacks. The
National Park bank later deposited
♦1,500,000, anrl smaller sums aggre
gating nearly $1,000,000 were depos
ited. There were rumors that the
bond syndicate would deposit a large
sum this afternoon.
A reporter of the Associated Press
called upon Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan,
the head of the government bond syn
dicate, and asked as to the truth of the
rumors of the dissolution of the syndi
cate. Mr. Morgan replied: “The
bond syndicate is still in the field.
There has been no rupture. The syn
dicate will continue to do all it can to
help maintain the treasury gold re
serve at $100,000,000. The obligation
of the syndicate expired, however,
some time ago.”
Sub-treasury officials express confi
dence that the impairment of the
treasury reserve by the gold exporters
will be made good by the syndicate.

other people gathered early this morn
ing' aloug the streets to witness the
grand parade of the Grand Army of
the Uepublic and cheers were constant
as the divisions marched along to the
streets where they were to form. The
entire line of march was cleared of
everything while the Louisville Le
gion, the cadets and Kentucky Nation
al Guard patrolled the ways and there
was no delay. Forty thousand voter
erans were in line and fully 300,000
people witnessed the march.
The parade was headed by two ex
Confederates on horseback, Captain
John H. Weller and Captain William
II. Harrison. They did not wear the
gray, but were dtessed in black Prince
Alberts with silk hats and red, white
and blue sashes, the same as members
of the citizens’ committee. They also
wore red, white and blue scarfs and
rosettes. Captain Weller carried a
large United States flag and Captain
Harrison a large whLo banner of
peace. In place of the eagle on the
top of the staff, the white banner had
a dove carrying an olive twig.
The veterans showed the weight of
years and the effects of service. It
was the general remark that there
were never so many old, lame and fee
blo men in line, but they marched
proudly none the less.
At sunrise the only clouds wererfrom
thu salute of forty guns, and the
weather even was for peace. The de
partments began forming at an early
hour under special orders to have the
procession move promptly at 10:30
o'clock. At 0:30 another salute was
tired for the first grand division to
form. At 10 o’clock the guns indicated
that the escort was moving to the head
of the column and at 10:30 the salute
signaled all the ten grand divisions to
move.

Among the features of the parade
was old Ned, the warhorse, over 4o
years old, that had heretofore tramped
with the boys along the line of march.
He is now so feeble that he to-day
rode on a float. The New Hampshire
department carried a large eagle. The
Ohio boys wore buckeyes, the Ken
tuckians had corn and crackers ana
others bore the emblems of their
states.
When the Chicago commanderv ap
peared the multitudes on the plat
forms and along the streets opened
the chorus of cheers for Commander
Lawler, and kept up the cheering as
the posts of the different departments
passed the stands and street intersec
tions.
Quite a number of veterans became
exhausted and had to retire from the
ranks. Six were so prostrated by the
heat that they were taken in ambu
lances to the hospital, blit none are
considered seriously prostrated.

M’KINLEY ON THE ISSUES,”
The Ohio Governor for Sonnrt BIouoj
and Against the.Bond Syndicate.
Springfield, Ohio Sept. 12. — In his
speech yesterday Governor McKinley,
after criticising1 the foreign and do
mestic policy of the Cleveland admin
istration, the governor asserted that
the real subject o'f contention in Ohio
is the tariff. lie quoted Cleveland as
opposing Senator lirice as regards the
Itrice-Gorraan act, and he also quoted
tho Cincinnati Enquirer as declaring
that a veto by Cleveland would “be a
cleaning up of mncli rubbish and un
cleanliness in the Democratic house
hold.” Then he quoted the Ohio Dem
ocratic platform of 1894, favoring fur
ther reductions in tho tariff, and
asked: “Is this ‘rubbish and unclean
linass in tho Democratic household’ to
stand, and that which was a year ago
unworthy and impure and a stench in
the Democratic nostrils now to be ac
cepted as worthy ana pure?”
“Has the Democratic party of Ohio
changed its views since September,
1894, and is now willing that the pro
tective duties, which nrc retained in
the Brico-Gorman-Wilson act, shall re
main, and the law be a permanent set
tlement of the tariff question? Is a
law, using the language of Mr Cleve
land, ‘which puts the wool of the
farmer on the free list and the pro-'
tection of tariff on the iron, ore and
coal of corporations and capitalists' to
receive the approval of the people of
Ohio by their votes in November next?
“My friends, there is one objection
to the law, if there were no others,
which must make its permanency im
possible. It falls to raiso the needed
revenues for the daily expenses of the
government. That would condemn it
in the judgment of tho American peo
ple, whatever difference they might
have on the auestion of protection and
free trade. The law, from the date of
its enactment to the present time—and
it is now a year old—-has not raised
enough money from customs duties
and internal revenue combined to meet
the necessary expenses of the govern
ment."

Taking up the financial question he
said:
“In the first two years under the
fiscal policy of Mr. Cleveland's admin*
istration, which is so warmly com
mended by the Springfield convention,
the government has been compelled to
borrow $103,000,000, and the toaintefn
ance of the pold reserve now depends
upon a syndicate of foreign and home
capitalists, who are under contract to
preserve the credit of the nation until
the 1st of October—a syndicate un
known to the laws ahd unrecognized
in the government, hired to sustain
the credit of the government. What a
spectacle!
“On the subject of money, the Re
publican party stands where it has
always stood—for good money,
whether gold, silver or paper, all to
be under national authority, at all
times and everywhere to be equal and
interchangeable, which will honestly
measure the exchanges of the people
and deceive and cheat nobody. It
must be sound and strong as the gov
ernment itself and os free from stain
or taint as the flag of our country.”
THE BOND SYNDICATE.
Secretary Carllale'e Annual Report Ex
pected to Contain Facts Regarding It.
Washington, D. C., Sept. 13.—One of ^
the features of Secretary Carlisle's re
port to congress will probably be a full
statement of the operations of the .Vjf
bond syndicate. It is understood that
it will contain several Interesting facts
in connection with the transaction
which aye as yet only known to the
parties immediately concerned in the’
negotlon of the loun. The most im
portant problem the secretary will
have to deal with is that which
looks to the ro'.ief of the treas
ury, involving a radical change
in the financial system. The desired
relief can only bo obtained by the,aid
of congress, and the secretary realizes
that it is going to be a very difficult *
task to suggest a remedy which will
meet the approval of the Republican
house, with Reed, a candidate for the
presidency, in the speaker’s chair. It
probably will be the policy of the Re
publicans to confuse, rather than un
tangle, the financial complications
during the next congress, for they are
counting upon making considerable
political capital out of the money ques
tion in the presidential contest
