f/ow York. June 25.? It Is understood
that the Government bond syndicate
yesterday paid over to tlje Treasury
the balance of the gold remaining to
be paid on account nnd the Secretaiy
has certified for the last of the bonds
to be Issued. The syndicate has now
completed its payment for the whole
Issue of bonds. It Is evident from thl?>
that tlte Secretary has modified the
contract with the syndicate requiring
the Importation of one half tho. gold
to be paid for the bonds. In accepting
the payment of about one half foreign
subscription In domestic gold and di
recting Treasury officials to receive
this, and certify for the bonds as
against It, It is ^obvious that the syn
dicate Is released from Its obllgatftfn'
to -import gold against these bonds.
The surplus gold reserve of the Troas
ury will be $107,41(1,000 within twenty
four hours. This will nettle the opera
tion of the syndicate so far as pay
ment for Its bonds Is concerned but It
may be that the syndicate will Import
niore gold later. Treasury officials will
not discuss this nor can any Informa
tion be obtained from the members
of the syndicate.

the famous case that the petition -would
bo granted. There w^ts an Imposing ar
ray-of legal talent in. Judge Showalter's

present on behalf of the reorganlxatlon
committee, (?reenim-t, .^lorrls and other
members of the lighting minority were
absent, and Kduifi Walker, their chief
counsel, was unable to be present. The
court paid particular attention to the
objection (tf tlie tJreenhut stockholders
and creditors, that the court originally
I had no jurisdiction to appoint a re*

became a trust deed after the judge
I tnent of oustef* had been rendered in
the qui warranto proceedings by Jt?dge
Gibbons for annulment of the charter,
and the stockholders became bcneticla

only jurisdiction, but a good and valid
?attse of action In equity. The juris

legal or statutory remedies in the ex

London, Juno 21. -In the House of
Commons today Mr. H. Oampbell-Ban
Herman, Secretary of State for War,
announced that 'the Duke of Cambridii*
would retire from the command of the
army. In making the announcement tlTe
Secretary said: "At. /the close of the
financial year Ills Royal Highness, tho
Duke of Cambridge, will relinquish the
position of ehlef-in-contmand of the
British forces, which he has held so long.
Ho has devoted Ida whole life to the
service and lias Identified himself with
the army. It Is hardly possible that any
one engaged in the civil administration
of the army can make ,thls announce
ment without feelings of emotion. We
ean look hack W.lth admiration and grat
itude upon his long career, which has
been distinguished by constant Real, had
marked by marvelous improvements In
the army. His resignation has Imposed
upon the Government a serious task.
The Duke of Cambridge cannot be suc
ceeded by any other otlieor who combines
sueh large and varied powers amLablU
Hes." f I !
The Government, he said, woirM ac*
.cept and proceed la the premises Atpon
the prlnolplfcs of the Duke of Devon
shire's scheme of on army commission
embodying a plan whereby the Secretary
of State for War would be advised by a
deliberative council composed o;f exper
ienced officers. (Or I os of Hoar, Hear.)
Mr. Balfour said' the House must all
feel that the sevorouoo of -tlifc Duke of
(Cambridge's connection with the army
was an event which must move the
country, for the moment, hut they must
exclude this feeling from their con
sideration of practical questions which
could not he long deferred. It was cer
tain. however, that they Avould never
find any mail who would Inspire greater
affection In the army or vdho would he
intimated l?v any higher botibc of nubile
dutv. as well as. his duty to the Queen
and' to Parliament . Mr. Campboll-Ban
nerman farther said that the appoint
ment of comtnander-ln-chlef of the
army woulij he maintained, but bis func
tions would" be greatly modified* lie
would he subject to the ordinary rules
affecting staff officers and his office would
he tenable for a period of ten yoars,
which term would he capable, of exten
sion If desirable. The commander-ln
ehlef would be the principal military
advisor of the Secretary of State for
War, whose council would consist ot
'five, general officers. lt n . ...
Mr Broderlck was not satisfied with j
this auswefr and moved tha; the salary
of the Secretary of State for AA .a r bo
reduced 100 ponnds to cover, what he
alleges, 'war a deficit in the ?rmy store*.
iMr Ca m pbel 1 -Ba nnerm a h contended
that "the estimate for small arms was
amnio to render possible the mobilization
of throe army corps of 110,000 men with
sufficient ammunition.
A .T. Balfour, the Conservative leader
in t lie House, 1?*M that the vot*. asked
for would not provide a proper supply
? Jos "ohaiuberlain, tlio Liberal Union
ist leader, said that the suppl^on hand
was a long way behind what the Jap
anese army had in the field. Geo. l>.t
Goshen, formerly chancellor of the ex
chequer, said he concluded after listen
ing to the debate that using tlio word
reserve in its ordinary (pcnsc Great Bri
tain had no reserve at nil. .
The division was then taken and tho
government was defeated by a vote or
1.12 to 12ft. , . ,# '
During the debate on the war ontl
mates the Hon. William St. John
Itrodcrlck, Conservative member fpr th?>
(lullfn#l division of Surrey. asked for
certain Information in. regard, to the
nrcaoiit snpplv of small arms and am
munition. Mr. Gampbell-Bannornva?
siUd that the estimate. comprehended
pnottgh to meet the current needs.
The result surprised both sides.
After tho Houao had sgaln ca.med
down to biislnoas the lobbies were
crowded with members discussing the
situation. i
The consensus of 6pinio?- among tho
Liberals was that the government ought
not? to take the extreme step of dissolv
ing Parliament on its defeat in such a
minor matttfr. ? , ? ?
In conversation Mr. Campbell-Banner
man said tlie government must find an
other Secretary of State for War.
A Conservative, replying to charges
that it was a trick division, denied that
there was any ntrategem. He added
that the government's defeat was tho
legitimate complement of a series of In
cidents connected with war office mis
/"sevend Liberals. including Sir Charles
Tilth*. voted against the government,
in an interview Sir Charles said he
hoped the government would not tako
its defeat seriously. It might g<ot out
of the difficulty by putting back a vote
for the Secretary of \\ ar s salary..
Doubtless when this was proposed the
House would agree to it.
Mr. Campbell-Banncrman Immediate
ly held that the committee report pro
gress on the estlmntes, which was agreed
to Mr.. Balfour asked if the Govern
ment proposed to take up further busi
ness this evening. After some discis
sion It was agreisl to proceed with tha
naval works bill.

Thv Treasury gohl reserve, as tho
result of the Uelmont, Morgan syndi
eate paying In $1,000,000 of gold, be
came today in.tact tvgalu for 111? flrot
time Rince December 14, 1894. It stands
now at Sl00.s30.aft6. There Is rdlll ow
ing from the syndicate S6.000.000 111
gold. Under the agreement catered
Into February Sth, 1S95, the syndicate
paid $65,000,000 In gold for S63.400.000
in four per cent. United States bonds.
The price paid averngM $lo4.4'.i1ti per
St 00.. The bonds were yesterday quoted
at 133 1-2 bid. In addition to the bond
purchase the syndicate agreed to pro
tect tho gold reserve and lit doing so
have It is said supplied foreign ex
change at a loss, materially cult lag
down their apparent margin of profit
from the entire bond transaction. Now
that the gold reserve ttt intact a ques
tion that cornea up to vex tho Treas
ury Is tlie issue of gold certiilcates
against gold deposited. Under the law
while the gohl is under the $100,000,000
limit gold certificates cannot be Is
sued against gohl deposited but when
it exceeds that limit the law directs
the Secretary of tho Treasury to Issuct
such certiilcates on the deposit ot
Koldy'i'he Treasury it Is understood
will discourage the issue of such cer
tificates but will not of course refuse
to do so If demanded. The cause of the
disinclination to Issue gold certificate!*
at this time is that the margin of
??free gold" is and necessarily will
be, small for some time to come and
any such action now looking to the Is
sue of gold certiilcates might have to
be revoked within a few days and
would have to be rescinded should
?the gold reserve again fall below,
sioo.ooo.ooo.
II ft n t y Action,
The cm ls$r Alert left Panama for
Callao last Saturday, the announce*
ment having been delayed until today
through "an overslKht" as It is ex
plained at the Navy Department. It
la also aald that the Alert's mission la
to relieve the armored coast defence
v>*sel Monteray, which has been at
Callno since May 20t!i, and permit
that vessel to work her way north.
Naval ofllccrs generally are mysterious
as to the apparent haste Indicated by
tho Alert's sudden departure when It
Is remembered that her commander
Capt. Ide, was detached by cahlcgrapi
last week on account of Admiral
Aleade's charges against him and tho
ship is now in charge ofl.it. John H.
C. Coflln. her executive officer. Com*
inander Franklin Uanford is under
orders to leave New York by merchant
steamer of July 1st and assume com*
mend of the Alert. If the vessel had
waltvd at Panama for him a few days
unti| Joined it, the Government
would have suved hits mileage of 1,
600 rLjles and there would have been
no demy ln?Mft assuming the duty. It
is genJWfly believed that Amorlcan
Interests In Peru (that country having
recently passed through a revolution),
are Injuriously affected. Some time
ago Minister MacKenzie reported to
the State Department that one of the
greatest mining" and other great es
tablishments In the country owned
by Americans had been torced to sus
pend operations because the Govern
ment failed to protect their property,
and this with similar reports was the
Immediate cause of*'- the Monteray's
cruise, so fur from elir own coast,
which sho'fvas designed never to leave.
The erulsefj Itange- has been at Guay
