New York Bankers t0 Corner aHun- 7
dred Millions of the Metal.
A DARING YET SIMPLE DEAL
The Most Gigantic Scheme that Has
Been Attempted Since Jay Gould
and Jim Fisk Brought About
That Diemorable “Black Friday.”
NEW YORK, May 21.—The Telegram
Wednesday evening printed the following
special article by its financial writer,
which created not a. little excitement in
banking circles:
For weeks there has been a steady flow
. of gold to Europe, and as each shipment
was known on the Stock exchange the
price of securities, founded on the basis of
gold in this country, went down. With
every evidence of the prosperity of the
country before them, with the railroads
all doing a good freight business and the
promise of the coming crop being the lar-
gest ever. produced in this country, the
price of stOcks have been continually fall-
ing. Instead of the speculators who went
into the street to make money seeing a
booming market, they have lost everything
they put in. In fact, the market has be-
come so bad that now when the evil is al-
most done some capitalists have determin-
ed tO try to stop it.
To Pinch a. Hundred Millions.
I was told today that ten bankers in
Wall street had each put up $60,000, mak-
ing a total of $600,000, with which to pay
the interest on $100,000,000 of gold, which
they are going to buy and hold for sixty
days. Gold is now practically at par, al-
though Great Britain is giving a. half-
penny for it, and as money is plenty now
at 2 per cent. there can be no loss. This
syndicate intend to compel England and
Russia to pay a handsome premium on the
gold they buy or leave it in this country.
It is one Of the simplest yet most dar-
ing deals that has been attempted since
Jay Gould and Jim Fisk tried to corner
gold, and brought on that day, which is
always referred to with a shudder, known
as f‘Black Friday.” The way in which the
Fisk—Gould corner was broken was by the
United States government selling just
$5,000,000 of gold. Fisk and Gould were
thoroughly frightened, and throwing pru-
dence to the winds let go all the gold they
bad. If they had held on for only twenty-
four hours they would have found that
the government did not intend to let any
more gold out, but they claimed that, hold-
ing such a large amount as the treasury
did, they were sensible in letting go.
\Vould the Government Dare to Act?
Under present conditions it is possible,
but not probable, that with a. depleted
treasury the government would not at—
tempt to meet another crisis. Judging
from the condition of the market last fall
a corner of gold would mean that every
bank and individual who could secure gold
would store it away. That it would pro-
duce great financial loss on the country is
well understood, but it is simply a choice
between two evils—having gold at a. pre-
mium by foreign countries taking all we
have or by a syndicate holding it in this
country to make the premium.
There are now in the United States about
$600,000,000 of gold, and about $190,000,000
is held by the United States treasury.
Over $45,000,000 of gold has left this city
since the lst of January, and $4,000,000
goes today. That something must be done
to stop the flow of gold abroad is the Opin-
ion of every banker and merchant in the
country, but it has remained for this syn—
dicate to make an attempt to stop the
tide. It remains to be seen what will be
done now that the intentions of the syndi-
cate are made public.
The Cabinet Meets.
WASHINGTON, May 21.—The first cabinet
meeting held for six weeks assembled yes-
terday afternoon, all the ,members being
present except Secretaries‘Blaine and No:
ble. The meeting‘las‘ted for :two hours. It,
is understood-that the prinéipal topic un-
der discussion was the Behring sea. ques-
tion, but: in the absence of Secretary
Blaine that matter went over withOut'
final action.“‘_.’1‘he condition of the-treas-
ury was alsodiscussed, and it is under:
stood that the conclusion Was reached, if
possible,'to pay Off the 4%.per cent. bonds
when they mature in September, instead
of extending the time of their payment, as
suggested some weeks ago. -
The People Want Cogswell.
CONCORD, N. H., May 21.—-'A week ago
the governor’s council, at its meeting, re-
fused to confirm the governor’s appoint-
ment of Colonel Thomas Cogswell as rail-
road commissioner. Colonel Cogswell’s
name was again sent in yesterday by Gov-
ernor Tuttle, with a statement that three-
fourths of the people were in favor of the
appointment. Action in the matter was
postponed for one week.
BRIEF MENTION.
Secretary Foster. has appointed a special
Commission to visit Europe and investi~
gate the question of immigration.
Gunmaker Maxim says he has invented
a flying machine that will revolutionize
modern warfare.
Ex—Mayor Cregier, of Chicago, regard-
ing the World’s fair preparations, says:
“Not a stick has been put in the ground
yet toward erecting the buildings. -My
opinion is that the World’s fair people
are 'behind in their work, and cannot pos-
sibly be ready to open the exposition on
May 1, 1893, the date specified. Ibelieve
that it will be necessary to ask congress to
extend the time.”
The United States treasury commission
has decided to improve the quality of pa.-
per in bank notes, and to change the en-
graved designs to prevent counterfeiting.
Samuel Pickles, of Greenville, S. C.,
imagining he had, hydrophobic, cut his
throat to escape the horrible death which
ensues from that disease. .
The miners of the Pennsylvania. coke re.
gion have demonstrated their intention to
remain out. Every effort was made by
operators to force the men in convention
to vote to return to work, but the work of
the leaders in an opposite directionwas
too powerful, and they voted to remain
out to a man.
In answering a series of catechetical
questions prepared by the professors 01
Union Theological seminary, Professor
Charles A. Briggs proved he was orthodox
by answering according to the generally
accepted traditions of the church.
Edward Pinter,.the alleged American
swindler, who pretended to turn metals
into gold, had a hearing in London, and
was remanded for another week. He of-
fered to test his magical powers in court.
