?>. NuiW YORK, Feb. 15.-Whoo the
nows roached this city last Tuesday
morning that tho La Gascogne, a largo
ocean sicamor with somo four hundred
?>assongors aboard, which loft Havro
or this city over three wooka ago, and
which was given up by many as lost,
w ns sighted off tho bar, there was tho
greatest oxcitemont around tho com
pany's oflice, which was crowded with
anxiods inquirors, who bad relatives
and friends on board tho steamship.
Thoy had boon standing around with
palo faces, oxpecting at any moment
to hoar tho worst.
When tho word carno that tho ship
was safo for a moment stillness; reign
ed whiolf Avas almost painful in its in
tensity. Agent Forgot for a moment
wac /rendered speechless, which evi
denced how anxious bo had been for
tho safety of La Gascogne. Thon ho
regained hiinsolf and became wildly
hilarious. Ho shouted, ran hero and
there, grasping tho band of Ibis ono
and that ono, and fairly jumped up
and down over tho floor iii tho excite
ment of the moment. Then bo nut on
his coat and shirted for tho French
Line pier, whore a tug had been in
readiness for sovoral da vs to take him
to moot La Gascogno should she bo
sighted. Several of tho anxious ones
waiting for news started from the of
fice to board tho tug with lily. Forget.
Many wet eyes could be seen in tho
Fronch Lino ot?lco when tho good
nows was ascertained and tho tears
woro not from tho eyes of women
alono. Strong men wept as little chil
dren. Tho strain of days of worry had
hoon too much for thom. Ono man, a
Mr. llicbo, broko down completely and
sobbod as if his heart would break.
Mr. llicbo had three daughters on
hoard La Gascogne, two of them of
very tender years. He had abandoned
all hope when tho joyful tidings carno.
The delay of tho steamer was duo to
a broken piston rod and to the terri lie
gales which have swept the North At
lant.o for llio past week or more und
brought disaster lo many a staunch
craft. Capt. Baudolon and officers
and caew of La Gascogne brought the
?hip and passengers through the gales
?ntl made port without help. From
tho timo they loft Havre on January
20, until Monday, they spoke no trans
Atlantic steamer and saw only a four
masted schooner, tho one which re
ported at St. Pierre, Miquelon, N. S.,
as having seen a largo steamer off tho
banks apparently in distress last Sat
urday.
? THE CAUSE Ol?1 THE DEL VY,
Tho steamer left Havro January 26.
On tho first day out 449 miles were
logged, on the second day 407 miles ;
on the third day, after traveling 880
milos, the piston rod broke and eigh
teen hour? were spent in making re
\n\\p& When they wore oomploted
tho ship steamed at nine miles an hour
making in all sixty-six miles on tho
29th. On tho 30|li, 31st and February
1, 216, 215 and 2?? miles a day wore
mado respectively. On February 2,
tho piston rod broke down again. Tho
break was more serious this time. Sea
anchors were put out and for forty-one
hours tho ship was hovo to, making
ropairs. On tho 4th the lust severe
weather was experienced, and the ship
was blown 150 miles out. of her course.
On tho ?th tho .repairs having been
completed 103 miles were made. The
ship was thou clear to the northward
of tho track of tho trans- Atlantic lino,
and was therefore not seen by tho
many steamers which passed over the
regular track. On February ?th 160
mues were mado. On tho 7th tho ma
chinery broke down for the third time.
Tho heavy cyclone struck heron that
day and tho ship lay hove to with sea
anchors out all day. No headway was
mado and owing to tho motion of tho
ship, ropairs wore di (lieu lt. On the
noxt day tho chief engineer who had
.-been at his post day and night, com
pleted tho repairs and tho ship proceed
ed 131 miles. On the 9th, for tho
fourth time, tho machinery broko
down and only seventy-four miles
woro mado, and to the great rejoicing
of all on board, Fire Island was sighted
and tho ship crept up to her anchorage
ol? tho bar.
, Tho United Press tug was received
with a cheer by tho anxious passen
gers. They crowded to tho rail, yelled
and 'clapped their hands with all the
enthusiasm of tho French race. Tho
officers refused to allow anyone on
board, and would not come to tho rail
to talk. Tim passengers wore moro
< Qbligb't?* Julius Matrigrih, a repre
' sontative of thc glovo linn of Perrin
Frerors & Co.,of Paris and Now York,
was interviewed over the side of tho
?hip. Ho said: "Wo broke down on
tho third day out. We did not become
alarmed, as wo did not know very
much about what was thc matter. Thc
captain, said it was all right, and wo
had confidence in him. Our first ex
perience with gales was on February
^th. We had a terrible blow then, and
Ono of tho boats was badly damaged."
i "Was anything carried away?''
. "No, tho ship stood it well. We had
plenty of provisions, and fared tir.st
rato. Wo wero blown away off our
courso and spoke no steamers until
?esterday when wo saw an American
inor bound for Philadelphia."
THE ENGINEERS STORY.
From Chief Engineer Adolph Mar
tin was obtained a moro dotai lcd des
cription of tho nature of tho break in
tho Gascogne'., machineyr. Tho break
\ occurred m ono of tho piston rods
about half way between tho traveler
and .tho piston. It was duo to a Haw.
I Though there wore facilities aboard
for making repairs, tho location of the
break was such that an attempt to re
pair it would have required the mov
ing Qf machinery and would have been
^attended with oyen moro delay ami
\dflloulty. Thoroforo it was decided lo
disconnect tho affected cylinder from
the other two, which used indepen
dently. This necessitated tho taking
out of tho injured piston, a delay of
seventeen hours. Tho cutting out of
this cylinder reduced tho pow or from
9,000 horso to -1,500, bringing thc
speed down to one-half. Later tho
crank shaft got heated, and thc bear
ings had to bo changed. Tho break
was not caused by any strain from bad
woathor, but simply to tho Haw which
existed in tho new machinory., Tho
engines ai oof tho quadruple expnn
sion typo. Thero aro six cylinders,
sot tandem fashion in two tiers of threo
cylinders of sovonty-nino inches in
diamotor each;ono intermediate cylin

the single end type, each niuo feet six

diameter.
Bcforo the lirst break down the aver
age revolutions to a minute wero six

thoy could not do better than lliirty
livo and after meeting tho storm it bo
camo necessary to reduce it to thirty.
Tho lirst break down.? occurred 1,230
knots out nt sea. It was tho piston of
tho intormediato cylinder thntoraeked.
The second mishap was tho occasion
of most delay. It was on tho fifth of
February that it occurred. Tho isolat
ing of tho injured, cylinder affected
tho control of tho steam, which passed
directly from tho high pressure to the
quadruple expansion cylinders. The
after cylinder becamo so heated that
tho contro becomo disabled. It was
necessary lo wait for it to cool before
anything could bo done. After the
second reparis, La Gascogne got along
without further trouble to her engines.
Before tho repairs wero made thc
second time, however, La Gascogne'?
passengers learned something of thc
terrors of tho sea. Tho strom whicl
the steamer ran in on February (ttl
was doubtless responsible for tho sec
nd accident, because of the strain it
put on tho lessened power facilitie:
which had been strengthened by sonu
new work. This new work readily
heated from friction. Steerage waj
was lost and tho steamer rolled int?
the trough' of the sea.

Engineer Martin says that it will lalo
about live days lo repair tho damage
done, and will cost about $5,000. L
Gascogne will be started out on Wed
nesday next. Eighty men, the ful

WASHINGTON, Feb. ii*.-For three
hours today tho ways and ?nouns oom
mitlco of tho House was in session.
For two hours of this timo, Secretary
Carlista was boforo it. IJo furnished
tho committee a copy of tho contract
mado between tho administration and
tho foreign syndicato which recently
agreed to purchase tho now bond is
sue. Tho contract was very short,but
at tho Secretary's request, a resolution
was adopted by tho committee that
nono of tho proceedings connected
with this document should bo made
public. Tho Secretary was subjected
to a running Uro of questions from the
members present. Mr. Gosvonor, of
Ohio, wanted to know why those
bonds aro lo bo sold to tho syndicate
at a price six per cont, below tho quo
tations of the fours. Tho Secretary
replied that tho administration had
made tho best terms with the syndi
cate it could.
l?cing asked if an attempt had been
made to secure tho sense of tho coun
try upon it, tho Secretary replied in
tho negativo. This precipitated a dis
cussion in which tho attitude of the
administration was severely criticised
not only by Republicans but by cer
tain of tho Democratic members as
well. Before leaving Secretory Car
lisle suggested that a proposition bo
reported from tho committee to re
lievo tho Treasury from redeeming
national bank eurrpney und compell
ing tho banks to establish an agency
for tho redemption of their own cur
rency. Tho effect of this proposition
would bc practically to restore tho law
as it stood boforo 1871.
Mr, Tarsnoy, of Missouri, offered a
resolution that power bo given to tho
administration tb issuo a 3 pe? ?oht/
gold bond whenever such action be
came necessary to protect, the gold re
serve in the Treasury. It also pro
vided that nono of this money should
bc used for the current expenses of the
government.
Tho resolution-offered by, Mr. Wil
son, of West Virginia, tho chairman
bf tho committee, yesterday, looking
to tho issuance of $?2,00(),(H)0 of bonds
payable in gold also carno up for con
sideration.and it drew from Represen
tative Bourke Cockran, of Now York,
an emphatic declaration that ho would
oppose this proposition and any otho'
which looked to tho endorsement of
thc contract with tho foreign syndi
cate. *
Messrs. Recd and Hopkins, between
thom, questioned Secretary Carlisle at
considerable lougth regarding tho nec
essity for an issuo of gold bonds. Did
ho think that such an issue of bonds
would stop Ibo drain of gold and
would not some of the money be used
to meet current expenditures? They
also asked about the ostini* to receipts
of tho government for tho remainder
of tho calendar year, and if tho Sec
retary really believed there would bo
a surplus within the next eight or ten
inohths. The Secretary answered these
questions frankly, and coining back
again to th'? question of contraevinp;
for the salo of tho bonds, ho insisted
that no favoritism had been shown;
that tho administration had consulted
with tho leading Eastern bankers up
on tho subject; h. d made the host
terms it could and would huvo done
better.
After tho Secretary's withdrawal
from thc cointnittco room, tho various
propositions pending were ordered to
bo referred to a sub-committee, to be
reported to thc full committee later in
tho afternoon. Thc Democratic mem
bers of thc sub-committee aro Wilson,
Turner rind M ryan, Payne and Hop
kins were added on tho part of tho Re
publicans, but it was subsequently
agreed that tho Republican members
of tho committee should select their
own representatives. After tho com
mittee adjourned tho R?publicain met
informally and selected Rec? and
Hopkins.
Later in tho afternoon fuller lolails
of what occurred between Secretary
Carlisle and tho committee became
public. Secretary Carlisle, explained
his reason for asking that an injunc
tion of secrecy.be observed regarding
tho terms of the contract on tho ground
that if the manner and time of paying
for tho bonds were made known,bank
ers and others might corner tho gold
which the syndicato must procuro to
pay for tho bonds, and thus greatly
embarrass them. As a matter of con
sideration for tho syndicate, therefore,
ho preforred that nothing should be
said outside of thc committee room re
garding the contract, although ho ad
ded that so far as tho government is
concerned, there is nothing to con
ceal.
.At one point in tho hearing Mr.Rced
referred lo the drain of gold from tho
Treasury and repeated the argument
iliat has frequently been made that if
tho greenbacks wore retired, tho gold
reservo would not need furthor re
plenishing. Mr. Carlisle then inform
ed tho committee that under the law
of 187-1, National Bank notes may bc
offered at tho Treasury department
and redeemed in groonbacks.
It was for this reason that ho subse
quently suggested that an amendment
bo made to tho law which will relieve
tho Treasury from redeeming tho na
tional bank notes and compelling the
banks to establish an ogenoy for tho
redemption of their currency. No in
considerable part of Secretary Car
lisle's remarks had roforenco io this
provision of tho national bank law
upon which the .members seemed to
desire tho fullest information and
which ho gave them in detail.

agreed upon in committeo authorizing
tho issuance of a thirty-year 3 per cont,

Tho report accompanying tho reso

dent's recent message to Congress
bearing upon tho subject and also ii
copy of tho contract made by tho
Treasury Department with tho Euro

says :
"Tho committee bavo had the bene?
Ht of a conference with tho Secretary
gf tho Treasury, who exhibited to
them tho original contract entered in

said contract is here added. From a
reading of this jin per it will bo seen
that tho arrangement of the Secretary
with the parties to this contract ofVcots
tho purchase of ?3,500,000 ounces of
standard gold coin of the United Slates
(amounting lo $05,110.275,) nt least
one-half of which shall be obtained

gold coin he has contracted to issuo

As it is not believed by that commit
tee that thc issuoof bondsspeeiallypay

WILL Tiffi GOLD STAY?
THE QUESTION NOW ASKED BY
WALL STREET MEN.
Variation* lil thu Cold Supply In tho 1'ust
Two Your?-Kow tho Treasury linn Hoon
Drained-A Thoughtful llovtow of tho
Situation,
Ni5W YOKK, Fob. 16.-Tho World of
a fow days ago published tho fol
lowing article, which shows very
plainly* tho absurdity of tho- present
plan of try i n gf to preserve tho gold re
serve, lloro is tho article:
Will tho gold stay?
That is tho query which Wall street
men aro thinking if they aro not ask
ing concerning tho last deal of tho gov
ernment with tho bankers. Tho teach
ing of history and very livoly history,
is that ns soon as tho gold gels into
tho treasury it will bo taken out main
ly by tho samo pcoplo who put it in.
So far as tho history of tho bond deals
has been shown in op?ration a gamo
somewhat worse than the gold brick
swindle, for in this gamo tho victim is
allowed to keep at leust tho gold brick,
while tho government gives away its
good bonds and is thou promptly de
prived ovon of tho gold brick.
Since tho panic of May, 1893, tho ups
add downs of the heap of govornmont
gold has been tho text of thousands of
columns of newspaper tafk, of talk
in and out of financial and legislativo
circles enough to crowd thousands of
volumes gf tho Congressional Record,
and incidentally of profit to tho bank
ing world far up into tlio b?illions.
Stated in a bulk sum, tho govorn
mont is trying to keep $100,000,000 in '
gold in a soivo. lt saw $35,000,000 go
through tho seivo onco. Then tho
soivo was lilied, and it saw $15,000,000
slido through. Once moro tho seivo
was mica, and $58,000,000 went
through Uko sand. So tho govern
ment, with tho aid of Messrs. Belmont,
Morgan and Rothschild, is again
about to fill up the samo old seivo
tho treasury of the United States. So
to keep this seivo full tho govornmont j
has gono into debt to tho tuno of $1(52,-1
000,OOO, and contracted to pav out)
while the debt runs moro than $107,
000,000 in interest alono.
All around tho edges of tho sei vc,
apparently working with might and
main, io assist tho govornmont in nil
ing it, stand representatives of pretty
near every banking house in theeoun
try and of foroign ones as well. While
below tho seivo catching the golden
shower as it falls through tho partners
of these same financial COiicornscatch
ing tho coin and bagging it up ready
to pass back again, over and over again
ad infinitum', or as long as tho seivo
holds together. That is ibo situation
in a nutshell. While over the whole
matter have hung no end of clouds of
talk, surmise, advice and speculative'
interest. ? v
The first loan came in January, 1804,
after a summer and fall spoilt Oil thc
part of a number of money-dealing
houses in carrying oil' tho yellow coin
from the ever-open -United States I
Treasury. It wildon January 17, 1804
Secretary Carlisle issued bis first bond
call, saying that bc would receive bids
for $50,000.000 in ten year bonds. Ho
fixed tho price at $117,223 for $100
bonds which was equivalent to a 3 per
cent, return for the investor. There
was a loud storm of protest, and ovory
body dealarcd it was ridiculous lo ox- ?
peet to got tho uso of their gold at such I
ngUr?s. The money-loaning chis wore ;
expecting with tho anticipated revival
of trado that there would be a demand 1
for their waiting millions, and it was I
not until the government agents carno I
on to New York city and bogged, ca
joled and bullied those who had semi
Govornmental positions as heads of na
tional banks that tho cash was turned
over for temporary uso to the Govern
ment. "Temporary usc" is tho exact |
term to uso in the transaction, because
immediately after tho sudden drop in
tho specie holdings of tho banks in
cident to tho taking of tho bonds, tho
"specie holdings" started to climb and
diu so steadily until tho Government
was ready for anotho replenishment of
tho sci ve.
Tho inside history of that, call loan
of gold to tho Government lias many
chapters which are Moating about in
whispered erossip. How ono largo in
surance company madou bid got its
sharo of bonds and thou with the most
shallow pretenso at concealment, took
tho gold from ono end of tho sub-lreas- !
ury to pass it in at tho other to assist in
retaining tho reservo. What was not
downright rascality in tho solfish pro
ceeding was supremely comic.
Thon carno thodrainingprocess. All
during tho summer of 1891, with an
occasional attempt at damning thc
How on tho part of tho govornmont,
until in tho fall of last Year tho reservo
of $100,000,000 stood at tho $55,000,000
mark. Tho moment of breathless sus
penso with which tho financial world
saw tho reserve encroached upon
dropped to a mild sort of spasm when
tho $(35,000,000 low point boforo tho
January loan was roached iii Novem
ber then tho 65,000,000 mark only
brought a slight chill, and tho bond
call carno, with hundreds of nionoy
holders and lenders scrambling for a
slice of tho big melon which tho coun
try seemed to bo cutting with such reg
ularity. Tho pressure/ was so great
that a syndicate who had worked tho
whole thing out calculated on making
a neat turn of a million bypassing tho
bonds along to final holdors. Thoy
bid $117.07 on Novombor22, 1801, and
took tho whole instalment, proceeding
to at once mark up tho price to lil),
and woio opening upa vory profita
ble trado when thoy were practically
tripped up by tho follow in trado.
The decoros Withdrawal of gold be
came mad rushes, raids and lootings,
of the government gold heap. It dis
appeared to thcoxtontof over fourtoon
million in a singlo week. It was no
wonder that tho drop to $42,000 o?a
was accomplished in about tv* ?nonths
time. Many exports yrpP learning tho
same, and caloy^i0.n? woro ma.(I? ,?s
to how m?*'*<)l H10 u"? money in tho
i,,,,,*?.-* could bo gotten rid of through
tiloso loan?, and iiow long it would bo
boforo tho lending rate for money
would bo stiffened lnto^puyhig figures.
Again tho gold heaped up in thobanks
until tho Associated Banks of this city
which docs not include ibo ontiro list,
have $82,000,000 in specio, whilo tho
8,737 national banks of tho country
havo about $225,000,000 in specie and
will? a fuir subtraction for silver, about
$'?00,000,000in hard yoliow dollar., rest
today in those vaults, without taking
into account tho rica and influent in I
State banks.
Tlioro is no claim that tho baukiaro
gathering Into tho vaults any hereto
toro hoarded gold. Instead, their pian
agers confess that their stores ero de
pleted undor ovory protonso b/timid
and avaricious ones A lio aro neut on ?
hoarding.
Thor? is only ono ultimate ?curco for
tho gold coin . hold today in tho bank
vaults subject tv statistical ?numera
tion, and in tho scores of doposit Oom?
panics and privato vaults out of all
numerical Icon., That soureo is th?
Uhited States government vaults, and
a survey of tho sovoral deals shows
how profitable has been tho process of
taking "tho gold out and putting it
back again. It is a standing joko .tho
country over 'about tho silly granary
keeper who bought at tho front door
tho grain, which tho olovor chil?oniors
had drawn from a leak in tho rear of
his groin bins. Tho laugh on tho buyer
smothors tho blame on tho tricksters,
but tho trickery ip there, whether tho
grain bo gold dollars, tho granary tho
United ?tates treasury, mid tho" ma
nipulators financiers of tho first water.
It is business to loud mony. It is busi
ness to lend a man his own money, if
bo has not tho wit to seo through'tbo
transaction and ?trongth enough to
slop it.
Ibo tlire? gold loans from thoso
who will always bo ready to loan tho
coin as long as the government is ready
to borrow it, have been so crowded to
gether that no citizen, however short
his memory, eau fail lo grasp thoir
wholo bearing, Tho acts follow so fast
on each other that therq is no time to
go out between them if ono wishes to
watch the v.-bole farce through. In
tho sumnmr of 18i)3 ibo government
had its coveted $100,000,000 aud more.
Then came tho strat of the gamo and
tho climax of tho first ronner when'
$57,000,000 of "now" gold poured into I
tho slovo-liko vaults. Ten months
later moro "now" gold, this timo $58,
000,000, poured from ditto to ditto.
Now, two months Inter, and tho fig
ures chango to $05,000,000, and tho]
samo aet is gone through with. Tho
tom-tom boat a dill'erent lune aa each
act in tho Chineso drama is gone
through, and this lust act upon which
the curtain is going down has an ele
ment of delicious uncertainty in thc
promiso that it is to bo new gold this
limo and that it is not to be drawn
from tho treasury by any subterfuge,
There is an implied charge in this ti?at
Unelo Sam has bocnsudly buncoed in
giving something for nothing, and the1
facts of history in tho case prove it be
yond doubt, lint the natural ouery is,
has tho bunco game stopped? If so,
why so? Thero have been eminent
financiers as Unelo Sam in every ono
of tho other deals. In fact, some of
tho names run through from act to }
act. To tho lay mind with a memory
a year long there is somet hing incredi
ble that tho government should hav<
promised to pay out $100,000,000 for
tho uso of a few millions of gold
for a few days. Tho two loans
al ready-practical ly closed out show that|
for tho uso of $57.000,000 of gold fron
February 1 lo about October J lust j 1
year tho government must pay tho
money lenders over $15.000,000. ' For
tho use of another $58,000,000 for less]
than two months tho government
under obligations lo pay another $15,
000,000, so that for tho permission to j
hold a little over a hundred million of I
their gold for less than a year the lead
ing' bun levi's or financions or fools or
syndicate have exacted over $30,000,
000 in interest, or about 30 por cent,
for tho uso of tho gold, and this samo
now gold still waits in tho vaults other
than Uncle Sam's for a repetition of the|
sad farce an infinitum.

lowed in a general way tho lines of
