GALVESTON, TEXAS, MONDAY, MARCH 23. 1691. ESTABLISHED 1342. FINANCIAL SITUATION. WEEKLY REVIEW MADE BY THE NEW YORK TIMES.

The Keecnt Befoul of the Mint to of Gold Deri--flow, Why and When Bead Our Gold Abroad. NEW YORK. March 23. following financial review of ttio weak in tbs York Time! to-day: Wali street has bean taught tbo paat week that now in flnance shooldbe applied gently, otherwise they make trouble. It has bean thrown into a etateof nervousness which It will take some tlmo to allHy by the drastic action of the treasury department In respect to exports of gold.

Under the new law a mint charge of 40 cents psr $1000, or t400 per (1,000,000, was charged on gold bars purchased from- the treasury for export. This action was well received, since it re-. moved what was virtually a small premium on the export of bars under the old law, and was bat following a custom of tbe banks of England and France. But on Wiulnesday last when two firms applied fsr gold bars on then terms, the treasury refused tbe application, absolutely Jeclin- ing to part its gold bars at all. Gold colikof mixed denomination was offered stead.

Coin in use is more or less lighti of weight and It was estimated that the cost of such a shipmsnt would ba twice that of the charge on the bars. Exchange rates promptly advanced sufficiently to cover the cost of sending out the lightweight cpin and about (2,000,000 went out. Had such a shipmen: been made under ordinary conditions little would have been thought of It, for nary one understands that we shall have to send out this spring (15.000,000 or (20,000,000 of gold In settlement of But the action of the treasury In positively refusing to part with gold bars on any terms caused a vogue feeling of alarm, which waa immediately re- flated in the stock market. "What does this mean?" waa the Inquiry, and thereupon discussion was started of the whole question of gold in relation to silver; of gold going to a premium; of the relative amounts of tbe'iwo nutate beta by the treasury; of the terms of exchange of silver money into gold Imposed by toe subtnaeory. The upshot was the street begin to fear that gold was in fast pretty Bear' going to a premium, and the treasury officials were placing obstacles in the way of its export Seoanse they saw this.

Of eonrsa the affect wee very disturbing, and were not tbe market rather solid at the present run Kept prices It would have been oeay to have started a (reaersl sinmp, A ludicrous air wak 'given to the whole business bv the publication of the follow, ing: "From on Interview with Mr. Leach; director-of the mint, was learned that' his decision and that, of the treasury department In refusing to fnralak the bars applied for was determined by 'the belief that the transaction for which cold bars were wanted was a "special' and not a 'regular 1 transaction." If this statement be true, it would appear that the treasury department hae constituted Itself tbe censor of the'morals of the foreign 1 exchange market. Tbe wicked "special" transactions iraeamed to he speculative an to be fawned (upon, but "regular" are p-esumebly virtuous. It seems Incredible that each kindergarten idnaaofflnanee can be entertained by men in important pnbllo poaiMons who are eo blessed with prophetic Inslfht as to determine whether given export of gold is special or regular outside of the partial who make It, and If it could be determined it le nobody's Sup- of 4 ceuU waa.lmpoaed to meet a distinct need and there the treasury waa disposed to stop unless la cnssa of emergency. Is there inch emeftjenoT nowf It there Is, the unsaay.feeling oaased.

in tbe market by Ita action was justified. If not the reason must be that referred to above, vix, klndsrgarten finance. The truth is there Is a sort of tlon about exports of gold, which is most unreasoning. It is. perfectly well known that at certain seasons of tbe year the Interior draws money away from this center most largely to movo tbe crops.

Business is ad justed to. the movement. The bigger the crops, this, more money Is required to move them, bnt Wall street dots not consider big crops a misfortune on that account. A. temporary Incon- Tsnlenco is sometimes caused by the drain and sometimes Is not.

It depends upon various conditions. In tbe spring of tbe year wo pay Europe for onr fall importation of goods, which are mainly bought on four aud six months' time. At such a time there are usually not enongli exnorti going out to offset tbo full amount 1 of payments and the balance to be sent cash. Thla causes wild consternation. In the fall the movement Is reversed, Europe is the large buyer generally there is a cssh balance to bo paid to when sold Is imported.

Whether tbe movement of money currents at any woric tsmporary inconvenience to ns depends upon the extent to which Interest rates are raised by the draining down of the reserves. If the drsln Is not enough to raise these rates perceptibly It Is no more Inconvenient to pay nwny (30,000.000 than 11,000,000. The movement restores the equilibrium between onr own and the other markets and 10 indirectly benefits us. The estimates of people well qualified to judge is that we shall have no such drain of gold on no this spring AS to affect the money market. In all about $30,000,000 of gold may go out, and we produce over (30,000,000 a year.

We sent out (37,000,000 of gold la throe months In 1889, and yot the stock market rose while tho export was Rolnp on. Lust year we sent out and Imported (10,000,000. All tho time It must ba remembered that this conntiy IB producing Hold as it is producing wheat. The bank statement to-dny showed the surplus resorvo to bo $9,000,000. The Bold oxporta will make a larger figure In it next week, bnt will be offset prtlally.

That In itself is good for a substantial rise in the market. Meanwhile there is nothing to do bnt wait and pick up what small crumbs tho market affords, which will be found mainly In the direction of the industrlnl stocks.

During this tiresome period comfort may be had in reflecting that the treasury ofliciuls have taken hold of Wall street for its Rood and will sternly discourage all transactions which are and not "regular."

Governor Jones 'and eoBoveraor Smallwood, rival political leaden; are agreed that It should ba paid to tbe people per capita.

They argue it Is the people's money and shonlo be paid to the people. There has been some discussion to the status of the freedmeu. With reference to the wcmeu the third article of the treaty of 1809 says: "All persons of African descent resident In the said nations at the date of the treaty of Fort Smith and their Ciscwnd- ahta heretofore held in slavery among said nations shall have all the rights, privileges and immunities, including the right ot suffrage of citizens of said nations except in the annuities, moneys and public domain claimed by or belonging to said cations.respectively."

BANTUao, March war still goes on with, but little change. The government forces an as a rnle being badly defeated. At thin moo-eat it looks as If Rtca would be tho next town te undergo bombardment. Day btion yesterday the town was heavily armed and' made ready to defend Itself if the rebel ships should attack it. On ths 10th a party of DCO of Balmax ceda's troops were landed in Sama and yesterday more wen landed at Ite and were subsequently sent to this place.

Tbe Peruvian authorities, it will be re- meiuboved, created quite a sensation by das manding an apology frnm tbe captain of tbe Imperial for landlu? hie'-troops on Peruvian soil. Then a few flays ago the chief officer apologlted In the most humble manner, saying that he waa obliged to adopt that course, AS the machinery of his vessel was out of order. The horrible details of the bombardment of Plsagua, during which it Is said about 11000 people perished, have not yet been fully made known. However, I have learned thai the fearful devastation was 'not done by shells alone, but waa materially hastened by the explosion of tbe larse keroseue oil tanks and the uitrate, works which wen locateu in that town. Hundred! of lives were undoubtedly lost in theso explcnlons.

Many wen burled alive when the oil tanks exploded, and when the fire rsacbwl the nitrate buildings it said that the loss of human life fearful.

At Aconcaina the government has 7000 troops held In readiness to prevent aa attack on Santiago. They an commanded Earboio. The rebel prisoners, as soon as captured, an taken te the city of ValdiviA, where touch suffering reported on account of a lacs- of supplies. Tbe soldiers, who been complaining, have had their pay raised to ISO and .140 per month.

A Qerman steamer which was bound for Valparaiso with 4000 rifles for the government has been naptured by tire revolutionists. The islaud ot Can'dros has been clared neutral ground by the revolutionists, aud 8000 men, women and children have gone there for protection. seems tbat even on neutral ground the people an not safe from Balmacena's spies, for a few days ago a spy went to tho island from Valparaiso and made several attempts to enlist men in tha government cause. The spy. whose name was Toro.

approached several men, who refused point blank to have anything to do with him. Toro assassinated three men and one woman who threatened to denounce him. Toro was detected by a revolutionary officer, wbo took him on board the Blanco to be shot as a spy but the sailors wanted to string him up to the mast and finally he was removed to a transport and shot On the 2d Instant there was a financial panic at Valparaiso. A rumor was started that the government was about to close the Valparaiso and the national banks. This minor spread rapidly and soou there wan A long line of depositors at tne doors of each bank clamoring for their moiiey.

The run was a most dlsnatrous one and it will bo many months before confidence will bo restored in these hanks.

Ilia iho'znii Jn Orleaas-Hotheaded Seutheraers Be Without Farm or Oere- moaj What a Corrupt aad Veaal Cribsiaal Falls te De. NEW YORK, Much Thomas Dlxon, pastor of tbe Twenty- thlrd Street Baptist church, preceded his lermon on Tbe Ideal City this morning at Association hall bv the following review of current events: The news from New Orleans is horrlbls. It is sad reading, It the eoul sick. Kleren ihr inking victims shot to pieces la the parish jail bj an Infarlated populace. Again wo are reminded that the cltr Is the storm center of our civilization.

A few years ago the streets of Cincinnati ware converted Into battle tranches. The criminal element of that. cltT to-dajr are openly proclaiming tiielr defiance of law and order aad repetition of those scenes. A few years ago the citr ot Chicago wai startled by explosion of dynamite bombs in Haymarket square, thrown bv the organized criminals of the community. Chicago responded to that bomb In much the sane manner as tbe populace of New Orleans did for the murder of their chief of police.

The only difference wae, Chicago used the gallows and the forms of lair to execute tbe indignant judgment of the people, while the hoUheaded aoutheroer, failing to accomplish the rasnlt bra similar means, seized tbe shotgun and did without form and ceremony what a corrupt and venal tribunal failed to do. No impartial student ot the great anarchist trial can be- lleve that trial waa anything bnt fane. The people of Chicago had determined to execute the leaden of thai band of organ-. lied crime. They did It.

The, jury aimnly regUtered the indignant jexlgment of the people-- they never eonld have eonvicted the men on the evidence preaeniadV But If tha Jury had failed to convict, It is perfectly safe to say the popclaos would have rated their jodgtnemtaa New Orlean did, In new of such Jacts. 'this Mow Orleans bnslBsas Is a terrible affair. Itli ran Index of a daogerois dtoMM wtth wbieh weanafBloted. Ben la toed tot thooght for every tmAlaeHMUseitlssm. What are some ot toe leeeoM tMaikt la ihU That 1Mb jiMM ta horrtbU toetery dvillea- tion.

If there be such a thiuK aa "a respeet- aWe thtiTi tnretybtte. It was tke highest order of lynoh Judgaient. wiU list of business aad good eitlseas, it was a dlsgnrring, slekealig that laakes the noblest iistlcouief alcod toessr- naat, tearful To eee thinseiili af armed mea erowd eleven helploat, criaglng, 'cowardly asaaaslns into a ooraer, aad while they shrieked and howled in terror, shoot taemtbpleoes- be proud of stuhoeeds. No logic oaa uefeevl them. They art nnjostllable.

a. And looking the whole cueeenuare- ly in the fsee, the result wae Inevitable. The provocation was teirlMe. It Baas be ooDfeesed that tire provocation waa deeper in-iM damnttion than the fearfnl catas- trephe Think for a moment of the situation. Theoiiy baa been lied for yean by an organized band of highway robbers and murderers.

They defied the law. Thty defled the powers of Ood aad man. They wsra the offscourings of the lowiet hells of European civilisation. Honor, truth and humanity were terms unknown. They rejoiced In the darkness, the atiletta, the razor, the slug and shotgun.

Forty murders were committed by those banded assassins within tbe five years preceding last June, when they shot down six men In cold blood In the streets ot the city. Six of these criminals were convicted. Bnt they obtained a nsw trial. Before that trial came 'off the principal witness was foully murdered. David Hennessy, the bold and fearless chief of police, determined to un- root this gane.

He secured evidence snffi- cienL The day for the trial was fixed on for October 18. On the 15th Hennessy was found ou the pavement near his boms riddled with slugs and buckshot. Ho lay gasping in his blood. These oath-bound assassins and their friends succesded in "fixing" this Jury either by brlbsry or intimidation, or both. The guilt of the men on trial for the murder of Hennessy was not doubtful, yet in defiance of evidence they wera acquitted.

The population of New Orleans rose in indignant fury, and tbe tragedy wss the result. We see at once tbe causes that led to this calamltv. 1. This devilish secret society known as the Mafia, -with crime as the object of its existence. There is no room on this continent for such gangs.

We are again thus reminded of the fact that wa have in our mldil nnauimllated foreign elements that we must either speedily assimilate or spew out. The Italians of New York made a grave mistake when, In the excitement of the moment, they rslsed the cry, "We aro Italians, let every Italian stand together. We never forgetl Vendottal" Those flaming headlines and wild cries for vtmgsance wore ssd There Is no room la this nation for Italians as Italians. We want Italian American citizens.
