Much has 1 to iLo jii 10 tai kii.g circles aa to the cause of the treasury officials voluntarily paying out gold tn settlement of clearlpgrhouae balances and for Oovern ment checks over the coaster, when some form of currency would have been more desirable to the payee.

Conrad N. Jordan, assistant United States treasurer here, was questioned about this and asked for an explanation, especially since it had been supposed that tbs Government was desirous of bnilding up the gold reserve again to the limit. Mr. Jordan declined to give any reason for tbs treasury paying out gold, as stated, but suggested that it might be inferred to be due to. ths desire to provide for some need for a supply of currency atxa distant date.

He scouted tbe suggestion however, that has been made that 'it was because the Government did "hot wish to Issue any more gold certificates, which it must do as soon as tbe gold reserve is 100,000,000. tho theory of the suggestion being that gold Is mors readily hoarded in thst form, ths Government storing it tree of cost. U. Front another sou ace, it was learned that the Government has teen paying out gold be cause it ieared that, Unless it mads provision in time, it would be unable to supply the demands for currency that it expects may bo made in a short time "for moving the crops. Leaving out the 5,000,000 in greenbacks which tho Government requires to keep on hand for redemption purposes, the United States treasury only has a boat fi5.000.COO qf greenbacks (legal tender notes available, counting the supplies at all the subtrtasuries.

SlUON CIVE TO DiT. The treasury policy of paying gold cote oil ita current obligations is for ths reason that It is telieved that an infusion of gold into the clearing houae and other payments is likely to bavs a beneficial effect snd lead to restoration of general confidence. Incidentally it has ths advantage ot staving oil necessity for the issue of gold certificates. Abotft 150,000 small notes have been exchanged at ths sub treasury for. gold certificates and large notes.

Heavy clearing house payments in New York caused the gold reserve to fall lower than it has been for several days past, and 346.883 less than It was on Saturday, The reserve yesterday amounted to currency balances, f2B.117.B18. The Star gives publicity to ths lollowlg state ment In regard to the gold payments from ths United States sub treasury in New York! Considerable eSort is being mads by finan cial agents hers to discover ths motive behind these payments. But tie department ia as close mouthed as ar clam. The explanation got through private) sources, is that ths department is trying to taks advantage of ths scarcity of small and convenient currency for Internal business to pinch ths hanks as ths banks have cinched the Government bhr stor ing gold. The banks sure greatly, in need of smaii bins tor current ousiness transactions and for use in tbe agricultural district.

Ths theory is advanced that if they can not get twhat they' need of this sort of currency by any other means, they will have to make terms witn the treasury, which will involve their ex changing gold or gold certificates in large quantities tor notes and certificates of small denominations. It is said the department can adord to nay out gold on the raits presented by tbs banks if, by so dointr, they can cut oif me source tnrougn wcicn me oanxs wouia get iheir small notes and put to sumcient luwuvfDicavv ui i tiicm hi wiuii inc banks understand that they want small notes and certificates they can secure them by taking large quantities and paying for them in gold, and it is the theory of the department that by pinching them close they can be feTced to do this. It is very probable that the issue of gold certificates will not be re sunued if the gold reserve gets above a hundred millions, as it is not clear that the law is mandatory in reouirlceia renewal of this iasue after it has teen stopped by reason of the reserve falling below a hundred miiliona. ECKKLS IN NEVT tOKK. He Is Getting Acquainted Wit Bankers of the JUetropolls.

the "Nirw York, July 18 News came from Washington last night that Controller of ths "Currency Eokels had come on a visit to the city, and that during his stay here he would make the acquaintance of the heads of a num ber of the most important national banks in NswYork. His visit is not to be a long one, but to night he will dine with the members' of the clearing house committee and several other gentlemen who are at tbe head of the big financial institutions. Mr. Eckels reached this city from Washington late last night. Be went at once to the home, in Clinton Place, of Charles S.

Fairchild, ex Secretary of the Treasury. He will be Mr. Fairchild's guest while bets lnfiiew xortc Mr. tclcels told a reporter that he bad run over lor only a day or two. Hit mission waa unofficial.

lie waa desirous of rettinir acquainted with ths New York bankers. He knew very few of them, the list being limned in tact to two or three, anion? whom were President Hepburn, of the Third National, his predecessor in the office of controller, and Fairchild, whom he had known tor a long time. Of the financial situation Mr. Eckels aid not speak at length. "1 expect, though," he said, 'to see things settle down, and then we can take a fresh start." The dinner to the controller this even inz will be riven it ths Union Learns Club.

While the first purpose of the dinner is to enable thecontroller to make the acquaintance of the bankers, it is quite within the ranee of possioiiuy mat tne taisr win nave an important bearing upon the financial situation, especially upon the relation of tbe banks and the Treasury Department. Dinners on several occasions in this city havs had suoa a Ef TTAIX STREET. Some Excitement arti a General Decline In Prices on 'Change, KivTou, July 18. The Stock Exchange opened In excitement to day and a general de cline of prices set in. The break waa started and accompanied by the report that a large International banking house was about to fail and the liquidation of stocks was on its account.

No name was openly given to this international banking firm, but several' were suspected. It was learned definitely that a London Stock Exchange firm had been saved from failure by timely assistance, and it waa suppoaed thst this might have given ground for the rumor as it necessitated and aided the liquidation of some stocks. The house referred to is Dichtenstadt As whose embarrassment was caused by ths Injudicious and unfortunate speculation of Junior partner. Ills dealings were said here to nave been largely in "Americana." The firm haa been helped and will not fail. The Junior member will be dropped.

This would not te accepted in all street as the arm that was causing the heavy sales. It was insisted that the house that was behind the activity waa a larger house than that of Crews. Lichtenstadt Co. i The de cline on the local stock market was sharp from the opening on. The London liquidation of "Americans," which Preceded the fall here, waa reflected by an advance in sterling exchange, which was interpreted that stocks are coining here.

But it ia believed toat it ia not improbable that a goodly proportion of the liquidation was for short accounts. The clearing house committee issued jO0u0 more loan certificates to day and a similar amountwas retired. Jones and Ills Free Silver Convention. New York, July 18. Senator John P.

KILLED BY A MOTOR CAR. isaac k.root crushed to death in Washington street.

His Brother Isadore Badly Injured at tit's Same Tims Terrible Aocldent On the Curve From Wsushinffton Street to VlrarixOa Avenue. At o'clock this morning motor car No. 818 on the Virginia avenue and Prospect street line, in charge of motormaa Charles Peck and conductor John Grimes, ran down two boys at Virginia avenue and Washington street. One was instantly killed and the other was badly if not permanently injused. Occurring as it did, in the full view of hundreds of persons on the busy corner, it crested Intense excitement.

or vkont or the kotob. The two boys were Isaac and Isadore Exoot, aged eight and eleven years, respectively, sons of Ephraim Kroot, of 434 South Tennessee street. The boys were oa their way to the market house and were running across the street at the point where the accident oc curred. A wagon passed in front of the car and when', it was gone the boys were in front ot the motor. The gong was clanging and the elder one seized his, brother by the arm and1 attempted' to pull him from tbe track; but the car struck them sad the little one fell under the wheels.

The other knocked down, but attempted to crawl out from under the projecting front of the ear. which was' stopping. He did not succeed and was pinioned by the wheel before the car was raoac trHDBB ths cab. In an instant a hundred willing hands seised the heavy bed of the motor and raised it, while the inanimate form of tbe youngest hoy was taken out and thr other was released and assisted from his perilous position. The little body of Isaac Kroot lay cold and still on the asphalt, and nearly every eye waa wet.

aad all shuddered, as the awful result of ths accident was realized. 'i Isadore Kroot waa at once carried into the Model clothing store, where Manager Hays made every effort to arrange' a. comfortable place for him. was conscious, hut distracted, and reaching his arms out to the crowd around him, begged piteously for his brother. He was not told that the little fellow was dead.

His wails were so agonising that many of the spectators turned away heart sick. An ambulance was called, and he was taken to the office of Dr. J. W. Marsee, where his injuries were They were bruises and.

Internal injuries in the chest. bruises on the head, and bis left ear was badly torn. The surgeon could not determine from the nature of the Injuries as to the probability of ths result, but stated that he did not believe they would prove fatal. After being attended by the surgeon the boy waa seat to St, Vin cent's Hospital. I i i THS DEAD SOT.

The first thought of those who rescued Che boys was that of giving succor to the one in jured. In the meantime the little dead bqdy lay within two feet of where death had oc curred, the place being marked by tbe trail of blood from the spot to the body. Hundreds crowded about the scene and the police had difficulty in clearing it away. The right side of the the right shoulder and 'the right side tbs skull were crushed. He was dressed in a light waist, gray trousers akidw as' barefooted.

As'one by one the spectators crowded forward and viewed THI 6CEXS Or THS ACCIDENT. the body the greatest sympathy was expressed. One woman, who crowded to spot where; she oonld see, turned pale and wept. A bystander asked ber if she knew the dead "No, I do not," she answered; ''but 1 have two about the same age, and 2 feel for the mother of this dead boy. After waiting awhile, the ambulance returned, and ths dead" boy was removed to nermann undertaking establishment.

i ths xoToaiiAS iiKrmo. Probably the coolest man after the acci dent was motormaa Charles Peck, He has been ia the service of the street car company for several years, and was promoted to the position of motormaa when the irginia a venue line was opened. Just after the acci dent detective Stout arrived and placed Peck under arrest, and later he was placed in charge of Sergeant Bar low. He was permitted to take bis car back to the bm and was then taken to the police station for detention until the case was further investigated. The motor man made a statement to Captain Quigley which was substantially that a wagon had ob trucitd bis new just before he rcacLel the curve.

When it i cut cl the way he saw the boys oa t' other track. He rang hie rpng, he sai en the boys did not stop. He then rang it as ais. oi boy jumr ed ctrectly in front of ha car. lie said that he was going siowiy.

can't expect a motorroan to stop a car without air brakes when people do that he added. i ITS WITNESSES STOBIFS. Henry Sweetland. an ex eouncilman, was a witness to the scculent. He says that the car was going saurely too fast vr so populous a portion of the city aad that the boys bad not time to get out or me way.

as voey woaia nave nan tne car naa oeea going lowly. Edward Harris, sn expressman, said it seemed to him thst the boys jumped ia front of the car; that they appeared bewildered. He also aaid tnat the car waa going somewhat faster than usual at that place. G. W.

Walker, another expressman, and Archie Jordan, a furniture mover. said practically the same about tne accident. Others who saw the accident said that the boys jumped in the way of the car. but all agree that the car was going unnecessarily last. The dead boy and bis brothers were Polish Jews and came to this city several years ago.
