I saw Mr. Morrison just after the testimony in the hearing over the Iruii iwitcs was clotted yesterday afternoon, and he had started to the carshed with Major lOdwln Fitzgerald and Col. Hen derson. of K noxvlllo. The figure of Col. Morrison Is rather stooped with years, but he is still a s-libol boy in disposition and gives a hearty round lauftli at a joke. w 1 1 it the race for 1 'resident an a joke. There was/ an effort also at modest lie was evident. y Inclined to treat I the mention of his name in connection embarrasstiHMit when he learned of his boom. .? "I had never thought of myself just exactly in such a disposition," he said "They are shooting at random. If yon ask me what I think, 1 do not hesitate to say that a Western man would be a potent factor toward combining the estranged elements of the Democratic party. A Western man with the Inter ests of the.

"The idea of Senator 1 1 ill is not bad. 1 agree with him in the theory ilia' the best aims of the party can be ac cnuqdlshcd and that there is more hope for success in Democratic ranks should a strong man from the West be agreeo upon." It Wan n Subterf u*e. In what he said Col. Morrison iiili mated that lie thought .Senator Dili was attempting to rush off a kind of subterfuge by holding up a man from the West n? notice, and staying tin sentiment in New York until he coiilo net his forces fixed. Senator llil. ami Col. Morrison have always been oi. friendly terms. "Mr. J*)'" wants tin Presidency hiiiis-lf." sitirl Col. Morri son.

"Candidly, I say that it is too Tar oil to speak definitely in regard to the Pres idency. For the party and Its success 1 have the most sanguine hopes in spiti of the general disorder. I think that today the party Is as strong as it was four years ago and when the call comes it will present a solid phalanx to the enemy . " Shy on Money Talk. ? Col. Morrison deposited a small grip on the seat of the car and pulled out liis glasses to read again the statement of Senator lllll. I asked his position in regard to the financial question. "I do not -euro to ,}l:k about it." he said. "1 think there has boon I inch talk on this question. There is a question I < onshle'r-Qf equal importance which has scciiiHinly lost sight of In this scramble over silver and gold. "My position, however, is koll known. I hi lieve in sound money." Wny Hill I)I<1 It. Co". . Morrison referred to .the silvei sentiment in the South and West. I he fact that Hill had mentioned hi in for President, however, seemed uppermost in his mind, ami he apparently could not disabuse It of the thought thai there was a selfish motive behind the aiinoiitieoiiienl of the Now \ ork senator. ??Mr. lllll is very kind.

The retlclenee ?l??t usually prevails tunonjr Treasury otllelals when they <iro approaohed on tho subject of the gold reserve, and their absolute re fusal to allow themselves lo be quoted as u> what tho out (low ot gold for the past Two weeks signifies leads to tho conclu sion in some quarters tliat the Treasury Is uneasy aliQu't the situation. It/yrMjJfefl.lo that. by Saturday the syn df???wlll be compelled to prove w bother 't oomjlder Its contract fullllled or whether it feels constrained to assist 'the g?v^' 'l" i nicnt In maintaining I ho reserve. "he rapid diminution of tlie reserve, the spoe ty descent from more -than one hundred and seven millions to a very lll>lle margin l>\ei i be amount the reserve la requlrd to no, has shown how easily a raUt, oven uuuci tito guise of tho ordinary course of busi ness, can be conducted. Some of the Treasury officials arc em phatic in their statements 'that thla loss of gold Is duo to legitimate business, and point to the character of the houses tak ing it out to show that It is not the re sult of speculation. Whatever may ?? the cane, tho loss Is felt, and will be fell lo a still greater extent before tho week i s !? i vied. . . lire was ;tn livtimallon at the rrc:u<uvy toda y that notice would be given totnoj^ row ofta withdrawal for export Saturday. :i iid otlrfeVals do not hesitate to admit that the inductions poirtt to the further loss of an amount equal tff. If not greater than, that which was shipped on todays steamer. At the close of business this evening the reserve stood at $101,118.(^2. a los>< since yesterday, of $349,442. The one million shipped -today ha* not been re ported to the Treasury In ofllclal balances from New York antt win not, -therefore, appear In the reports until tomorrow. 'I ne actual condition of the Treasury then (inds the reserve amounting to only $103, 11X.62. This shows a loss of -four and a half millions since the syndicate made its last payment, July 5th, and sent the re serve up to $107,W;2,20S. The gold reserve was not near so low as this on (lie 27th of July when (he syndicate fell' called upon to Increase It. At that time the re serve had dwindled down (o a lime bolow otuvffundred and live and a half millions. Some .Treasury official* discuss tho slt uat'on prPflbtely admit 'that unless the syn dicate HK-aln i?teps In and fills the gap that has I hut* been made, the public, will be warranted in believing that the syndicate considers Its contract to have li*cn coin n'eted In Its entirely and that It is no longer morally bound ? If not by the dis puted meaning of the -text of the con tract? to maintain (lie reserve. Assistant Secretary Curtis said -today that he did not know what the Intentions of the syndicate were, but so far as tho Treasury situation was concerned he saw nothing In It now to Justify any feeling of alarm. The gold that was golntr oih was sent abroad In the payment of debt*; and within a few days he believed there would !*? a flow in this direction, t'rops were beginning to move and the presence of commercial bills In New York, some of which, wero already on 'tho street, would loosen the tension and bring down the rate of exchange and stop the export of gold. There are others, however. In the Treasury not so sanguine as Is Mr. Cur tis and many of these are beginning to look forward to the next yeck as a criti cal period, one that ihust show which way the tide Will turn. Meanwhile the gold continue* (o go out and no official ex presidon of the pproper Interpretation of the bond contract Is made. A Steel llird'M Scut. A very rcnrfurkablc thing In the way of birds' nests is preserved In the Mu seum of National History at Sob-ure, In Switzerland, whither It was brought by one M. Rudolph Rueder. It is a nest made entirely of steel. ? There are a number of clock making shops at Solccuro. anil In the windows of these shops there are often found lying disused or broken springs of clocks. JOarly last summer M- Rueder, <?ne of these clockmnkers. noticed a bird's nest of peculiar appearance In a trop in his yard. He examined it, and found that a pair of wagtails bad built a nest entirely ??f clock springs, which they had picked up lie.re and there about the village. The nest wan more than four Inches across, and a perfectly comfortable one f?>r the birds. .. << After the feathered architects had reared their brood, M. Ajfcueder pre sented the nest to the fmiseum of tlv town, where it Is preserved as a strlk InK Illustration of the skill of birds In tucnliiK their surround! njts to advan tiiKc in bulld'nK their nests.
