GOLD IS lll PREMIUM
Roported Sales Confirmed by Several
Wall Street Brokers.

Rumored Transactions Are Said to Aggro
gate $100,000'A1ready—The Lowest
Premium Paid \Vas 1-16 and the
Highest 1-4 of 1 Per Cent.
NEW YORK, Nov.‘ 23.—-A leading topic
today in connection with the pending
government bond issue was the fact that
gold has been sold in Wall street at pre-
miums ranging from 1-16 to % of 1 per
cent, with reports of even M being ob-
tained. A number of leading bullion
houses confirmed the news of the sales
and agreed that they were due to demand
for gold from intending bond purchasers.
The latter have probably been unable
to obtain the gold from the banks and
probably are influenced by the report that
Secretary of the Treasury Carlisle is like.
ly to discriminate against bidders for
bonds who withdraw the gold to back
'up their bids from the subtreasury.
At the office of Handy & Harman a
member of the firm said:
“There has been a premium for gold
ranging from 1-16 to possibly % of 1 per
cent, and transactions aggregating about
$100,000 have been made at such premi-
ums.
“The matter is undoubtedly connected
with the bond issue, the gold being want-
ed by parties intending to purchase bonds,
who cannot obtain it from the banks,
and who do not want to go to the sub-
treasury. .
“There have so far today been no trans-
actions at a premium, but the conditions
continue the same.”
Be Sold at a Premium.
At the office of Nesslage, Colgate & Co.
Mr. Colgate confirmed the statement that
there has been a slight premium on gold.
He admitted that his firm had been the
principal in one sale of gold at a premi-
um, but did not care to state the figures.
“It is but a flurry, ” remarked Mr. Col;
gate, “due to demand from those who
wish to bid for bonds. They may not be
able to get gold from the banks and do
not wish to obtain the gold to back up
their bids from the subtreasury. The idea
that Secretary Carlisle is keeping tab on
the parties withdrawing gold from the
subtreasuries and may discriminate
against them when the bids for bonds are
opened probably has had something to do
with it.
“A published statement that the sales
of gold at a premium have aggregated $1,-
000, 000 is incorrect. It is not nearly as
much as that. There is not $1, 000,000 in
gold in hands other than the banks and
the subtreasury.
“I saw a statement that a local bank
had agreed to handle a bond subscription
at a commission. That, if true, would be
equivalent to a premium on gold. The
$1,000,000 also reported coming from
England is coming at a practical premium.
for exchange rates are against the ship-
mé‘ht."
Doesn’t Think It Important.
Mr. Zimmermann of Zimmermann &
Forshay said when seen:
“We don’t attach any importance to the
reports of a premium on gold. There have
been some lots of gold which have changed
hands at a slight premium, the purchasers
not wishing, for some reason, to go to the
banks. They have probably been in-
fluenced by the announcements in the
daily press that Secretary Carlisle may
discriminate against intending purchasers
of bonds who withdrew gold from the
subtreasury to pay for the bonds. '
"The amounts of gold that have changed
hands at a premium have been compara-
tively small, and the whole thing will
flatten out when the bond issue is com-
pleted. We have been approached in re-
gard to furnishing gold and asked what
premium we would want, .but we don’t
believe in the premium and have not on-
tertained any propositions. The situation
is entirely different from that last August
and September, when there was a cur-
rency famine and we were paying a pre-
mium straight along for currency and
selling it again at an advance. Then an
outsider could bring greenbacks and gov-
~rnment notes down to Wall street and get
paid a premium for them without hesita-
tion. You could not do that now with
gold.”
Strangler Still at Large.
DENVER, Nov. 23.—The chance of catch-
ing the strangler who murdered three wo-
men of the demi monde in the last two
months seems to be exceedingly slim. The
officers detailed on the case evidently have
nothing to work upon. Whoever the
criminal is, he is an expert at escaping
detection. Suspicion points in many di-
rections, but there is no evidence to back
the suspicion, and it looks very much as
if the murderer will escape.
Sues For $200,000.
DENVER, Nov. 2l.—Mrs. May Davis,
widow of J. S. Brown, has brought suit
against the Ibex Mining company, owner
of the Little Johnny mine at Leadville,
for $200,000. She alleges that the de-
fendants obtained possession of her hus«
band’s interest in the mine after his
death by" foreclosing a mortgage without
obtaining permission from the probate
court to do so.
Alderman Parks Sentenced.
ASBURY PARK, N. J., Nov. 23.—-Alder-
man Charles Parks of the Tenderloin dis-
trict, New York, who was convicted last
Friday of keeping a gambling house at
Asbury Park, in the most fashionable
partof the toWn, was sentenced by Judge
Clarence Connover to pay a fine of $500
and serve a sentence of five months in the
county jail.
Bank to Go Into Liquidation.
SPOKANE, Wash, Nov. 23.-—The Citi-
zens’ National bank will not reopen for
business. This decision was reached at a
directors’ meeting. The bank will go into
liquidation. Its assets were $425,000; lia-
bilities, $240,000. This institution closed
its doors during the panic of 1893, but
afterward reopened.

Another .llIcGlynn Case. '

Corrigan’s "Counter Order.
NEW YORK, Nov. 23.——It has been ru-
mored for some time that Father Ducey,
pastor of St. Leo’s, would be called as a
witness before the Lexcw committee when
it resumes its hearings, and Father Ducey
practically admitted, when questioned,
that he might have something to say to
the senators if ‘called upon. What he said
leads to the intimation that a persistence
by ArchbishOp Corrigan in his command
that the priest absent himself from} the
meetings of the committee might be fol-
lowed by his withdrawal from the Catho-
lic church. The published statement that
he had appealed from the archbishop’s
order to the higher jurisdiction of the
apostolic delegate was called to Father.
Ducey’s attention by a reporter. ,
“It is not true,” he said, “that I have
appealed to Mgr. Satolli, or that [have
conferred with Archbishop Ireland or Dr.

Burtsell. I feel entirely competentdn
the present juncture of affairs to main-
tain the freedom and independence that
belong to my priestly and} personal char-
acter. No man can be guilty of,disobedi-
once to parental orany other authority if
it makes demands invading one’s per-
sonal rights and liberties.
Father Ducey’s Position.
“I have always been an obedient sub-
ordinate, in keeping with law and order,
but I shall resist any and every attempt
to interfere with my liberties as a citizen
and a priest, no matter from what source
this interference emanates.”
"Does that imply that you will continue
to be present at the future sessions of the
Lexow committee?” ,
“I would be very much pleased could I
give you a positive answer. When the ses-
sion opens, things may have so evolved
that I shall feel obliged to be present. At
present I am a soldier in the ranks. , I
may protest in my own mind against the
unrightful demands of a superior. I may
obey while I am in action under that su-
perior officer, though feeling that he is vi-
olating every individual right. Having
yielded obedience in action, I have it in
my power to protest by my acts after the
fight is over, and I may be one of the ‘ins’
or ‘outs.’ ”
“DO you think there is any likelihood I
of yourself and Archbishop Corrigan be-
ing called before the Lexow committee?”
“I had handed to me, ” replied Father
Ducey, “a statement made in a paper
that Mr. William Travers Jerome had
been interviewed as to the likelihood of
Archbishop Corrigan and myself appear-
ing as witnesses before the Lexow commit-
tee.
“Vill Testify if Called.
“Mr. Jerome refused to answer and
said it had not been the policy of the
counsel of the Lexow committee to make
any statements until their witnesses gave
evidence before the senate committee. I
have not seen Mr. Jerome or Mr.‘ Moss or
Senator Lexow, and I have not submit-
ted to either any documentary evidence in
my keeping. I presume it is needless for
me to say that I have not seen Mr. Goff.
He has been absent from the city for some
time, and I have not spoken a word to
him or had‘any communication directly
or indirectly with him since I congratu<
lated him on the night of his election.
“I shall be most pleased,” added Fa-
ther Ducey, “to go before the Lexow com-
mittee if I am called.” ’
“Will you say. ” the reporter asked,
“Whether you have yet taken any action
which would result in your becoming one
of the ‘outs,’ so far as the church is con-
cerned?”
“No. I have taken no action,” was the
reply.
Father Ducey was very careful that his
exact words should be taken down and
declined to make any more definite state-
ment of his intentions.

MUSKOGEE, I. T., Nov. 23.—Half a doz-
en members of the Cook gang were recog-
nized, on the streets-by citizens of this
town. - The news was quickly communi-
cated around, and the town was in the
wildest uproar. Citizens came from ev-
try quarter of the town armed with win-
thesters, shotguns and revolvers. But
that is all that came of it. The outlaws
made themselves scarce, and no harm
came to them. About 7:30 last night
James French, widely known as a dare-
devil of the Cook gang, rode into Musko-
gee and put up at a dive for the night.
At 8 o’clock Tom Cordey. one of the mar-
shals who has been hunting the bandits,
organized‘ a posse of ten men and return-
ed to the dive, went through every room
and outbuilding, but Jim had disappear-
ed. Officers who followed the two ban-,
dits last night came in about dusk and
reported that they had chased the bandits
to the bottoms and there lost their course.
Cherokee Bill was seen six miles north of
Muskogee today. He had two winchestera
attached to his saddle and two six shoot-
ers on his person. Lou Cook, the queen
outlaw and sister to Bill and Jim Cook,
ls in Muskogee. It is believed she is here
to plan a release for Wade Chamblee, the
robber now in jail. Extra jail guards
have been placed on duty.

wired Attorney General Olney that all
the ofilcors have returned from the chase,
and that in his Opinion there is now but

MOUNT Upon HISSN 7
Smoke and Steam Are Issuing From
the Washington Volcano.
BOMB PREVIOUS ERUPTIONS.
Many Changes Reported In the Appear-
ance of the Peak of the Mountain.
Several Slight Earthquake Shocks
In the City of Tacoma.
SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. 23.——Mount Ta-
coma is in a state of mild eruption. The
appearance of the summit is entirely
changed, and another peak has appeared
in its center. Soon‘ after sunrise, the sky
and air being remarkably clear, clouds of
black smoke. were seen curling from the
southwestern part of the peak, where the
crater is located, coming at intervals of
about 15 seconds. The dcmelike top had
disappeared and had been replaced by a
flat top, with a large crevasse extending
down the side. while in the center of its
summit a new peak had appeared on the
north side. The snow was early gene
from the summit, being apparently melt-
ed off. A mass of rock. stripped of the
white covering, could be discerned. Steam
was also seen mingling with the smoke.
Tacoma's Three Craters.
The eruption became hidden by clouds
soon after 5 o’clock. Mount Tacoma has
three craters, of which the principal and
most perfect is the scene of the present'
volcanic disturbance. This crater is half
a mile across, bounded by walls of rock
50 feet high. The inside of the carter is
usually filled with snow and ice, in which
are innumerable caves. one of which has
been penetrated by explorers to a depth of
100 feet. Jets of steam have issued in
places, which have been used by tourists
for cooking. It is supposed that the walls
of the crater, having been gradually weak-
ened at the base, have fallen, leaving a
peak on which was formed the snow cone,
named Columbian Crest.
Earthquake Shocks Felt.
TACOMA, Nov. 23.-—At 6:30 o’clock sev-
eral shocks of earthquake were felt here.
Windows were rattled throughout the
city. The first shock was most severe, be-
ing accompanied by rumbling noises, and
a sheet of flame was observed in the east
ern heavens. Several persons here saw
smoke issuing from Mount Tacoma. Mrs.
Lovell. an Iowa woman visiting friends,

Other Eruptions.
Professor F. C. Plummer, a local scien-
tist who has made a special study of
earthquake phenomena in the northwest,
said today: “Old Hiaton, the oldest In-
dian in Puyallup reservation, said through
an interpreter, before the Tacoma Acade-
my of Science on Feb. 6, 1898, that he
had many times seen fire and smoke com—
ing out of Mount Tacoma. General John
C. Fremont reported on Nov. 13, 1843,
that Mount Tacoma was in eruption. Ac-
cording to Professor Holden of the Lick
observatory, a violent eruption of the
mountain occurred on Nov. 12, 1872, at 6
p. m. In May, 1880, volumes of smoke
were observed issuing from the crater.
On June 17, 1884, jets of steam were ob-
served shooting upward from the moun~
tain at intervals of one minute, flowing
eastward.”
