It hiul generally been expected that about
tUOOOOO would be sent out by todays steam
ers consequently tho withdrawal from the
HubTreasury promptly at the beginning of
business of 51000000 by I mercantile home
that lias been a conitnnt shipper of cold and of

ing In London did not create any sur
I prise nor attraot much attention The
rent of the day was the withdrawal of 2500
000 sold by Lazard Frcres who were the heav
iest sltlppcn of gold prior t tho formation of
the Government bond syndicate last February
I H I currently reported that thin firm hail an
interest of 1000000 In the Government bond
and the Itnpresaton has prevailed
syndicate as Imfrelslon ha proYAlrt
all atone that members of the syndicate had
committed thomsee not t ship gold yestcr
dajrs transaction by Lazard Frtrcs provoked a
toed deal of comment
An authoritative statement was printed In TUB
MN a few k ego that the members of tho
syndicate are not bound by agreement not to
hp cold abroad during the life of the con
tract That statement was reiterated by Mr
J P Morgan yesterday who tald that there a
DO basis for current reports that Lazard Frores
had lolated their syndicate obligations In sblo
old The only obligation that member
Jlnl gold T obliaton membn
ef > f the syndicate an under not to ship gold Is 1 a
moral one and In the cast of Lazard Freres It
appears that the exigencies of their business
and of the situation hare compelled them to
cover coma of the exchange they have drawn
by a remittance In cash Members of the firm
lUte that they hare been drawing freely
for tome time past and of late only to
lupply remitters who are their regular
customers In common with other members of
the Government bond syndicate they bad hoped
by this time to t able to cover their drawing
with train cotton and other commercial bills
bet for reasons patent to every one they hare
Wen unable to do 6 Comparatively little
grain It going ont of the country and owing t
low prices the amount of exchange male against
It b small As I well known the cotton crop
which furnishes a larger amount of exchange
than any other one product of this country has
cot yet begun to come upon the market and
Ihe climax of unfavorable developments In tho
forelkn exchange market Is that Europe Is sellIng
tag more securities In this market than It Is
buying
I I i understood that Lazard Freres Informed
the managers of the Government bond syndi
cate several days ago that they would be com
pelled to make a large shipment of gold today
It tler could not obtain some other form of remittance
mittance A suggestion that the managers of
the vindicate mlgnt b willing t cell a cable
transfer covering the amount Involved was not
accepted and In consequence the firm was com
1rd to forward the gold shipped today Con
sidering the axtent of the actual commercial
utm nd for zemlttaijrfiJpS roperrtjnHipz
chiefly from extraordinary Imports under the
present low tariff and toe unusually small
volume of exports of staple product at loW
prices It would seem t make very little differ
ence through what banking houses the Im
perative settlements of an adverse foreign trade
UJnce are made I la plain that the situation
dOM not favor the plan nor fulfil the expecta
lons of the Government bond syndicate Its
members when they undertook their task
srrnrd reasonably enough from precedent that
the currents of foreign trade would turn In favor
ri 1 the United States during the present month
1iifortunatelr there are a yet no trustworthy
Indications of such a change still It Is gener
Lily conceded that the change must come some
time letore l the end of the year
V Pending that change and In view of the great
lapurtance that ha been attached t the opera
tions and policy of the Government bond syndl
nte It Is I Interesting t know the Intentions of
the managers of the syndicate Upon this point
Mr J Plerpont Morgan made the follow
ing statement yesterday The Govern
ment bond syndicate fulfilled Its contract
with the Government In June when It
received the last of the bonds due I In pay
ment for the gold It contracted t sell to the
Government In February but It ha been the
aim and I i still the Intention of the syndicate to
continue to aulst the Treasury In maintaining
its told balance The syndicate Is I constantly
accumulating lold and a fast as any quantity
I 1 collected It will b turned over t the Treas
ury 1 will continue to do a after Oct 1 In
Tact no date has been fixed when that policy
will be dlnontlnued

Mr Morgan added that he looked for a more
liberal supply of cotton and grain hills In the
tear future lie appeared t be In no degree
disturbed by yesterdays developments and
said that he believed the banks would assist In
reinforcing the Treasury gold balance from
tluiu to time as they had heretofore As the
Rational banks alone according t their last
reports to the Comptroller of the Currency

In connection with the crusade against the re
tailers of adulterated milk the Health Depart
ment has been quietly Investigating the quality
of the milk sold at tho various milk depots es
tablished by Nathan Straus The Health De
partment ohornlst ha completed the analysts
of the samples of milk taken from one of these
dept and reports the milk t 0 below the
standard tect and In such a condition ns to war
rant the prosecution tho dispensers under tho
law
lawThere
There are seven depot In different parts of the
city where milk Is sold below the regular retail
vrlce for the ostensible benefit the poor I
was announced by Mr Straus the promotei of
tho scheme when It was started that the mil
although sold at 0 cheaper rate than the usual
retail market price would b of a much better
quality Especial stress was laid on the fact
third the sterilized milk sold In the depot was
particularly beneficial to Infants and Invalid
Benlden the milk depots Mr Straus caused tube
erected In several of the parks booths where
milk was retailed at the low price of 1 COlt a
tlas The depots where milk Is 1 now retailed
are located at Third street and East River UI
Avenue C 117 Eldrldge street 47 Plko street
201 West Slxtytnlrd street U2U East Fifty
blnth street and 415 Weet Thirtyeighth street
It Is said tht the investigation of the Straus
milk depot originated while Chemist Martin of
tho Health Department was spending his vaca
tion In Goshen N Y He heard that the qual
ity of the milk sold would not bear the tent re
quired by the sanitary laws so President Wil
son ordered the Investigation Inspectors were
sent to each of the milk depots and they got
samples of the milk which are now undergoing
analycK At 47 Pike street three samples were
JOt A bottle containing et < rllltcd milk wa
found to meet the required tcst but
It Is said that sterilized milk cannot be satisfac
torily tested The second sample YN taken
from an open can of allcced fresh milk from
which milk had been polL There were twenty
quarts remaining In the can The test showed
that t I per cent of cream had been drawn from
the milk and 11 per cent of water added The
doctoring of tho milk was done It Is believed to
deceive the lactometer test usually made by the
Health Department Inspectors The third teat
was that of a full can containing forty quarts of
fresh milk which had to all appearances
not been opened In the depot I was a
noticeable fact that the opened can con
tained n much poorer quality of milk
that the unopened can The latter was just on
the edge of the standard required by tho State
law which I not regarded as a proper one by
the health authorities of this city The State
standard requires U per cent of fat and 12 per
cent of solids to each sample of milk tested
The Health Board requires nh per cent of fat
to each sample The unopened can contained
tho required percentage of fal but the percent
age of solids vai below the standard required
by law I Is expected that the analysis of the
samples taken from the other depots will b
today
completed toda
The milk depots are supplied by P E San
ford < b Co Mr Sanford says that the milk
tested by the Health Board was not from his
ow dairy but wa bought by him from an
other dealer Mr Klncald who nitrairo tbo1
Straus depots ndmlttnl to the Health Depart
ment officials that the milk was not tested In
the depots President Wilson had a talk with
Messrs Sanford and Klncald on Thursday He I
said yesterday that the Health Department in
tended t make a thorough Investigation of the
matter and that the persons who were respon
sible for the adulterated milk would b prose
cuted
While I believe that Mr Straus had solely
the benefit of tho poor In view when he estab
lished these depots It certainly seems as If the
management has been very lax raid Mr
Wilson
Mr Straus Is In Canada and his representa
tive declined t talk about the matter yesterday

Gen Flnulcr Chief uf Ordnance time lat
ter basing his objection on tho ground
that the arsenal Is now located on tho
Island and that It would havo to be transferred
I cloowhcro should an Infantry regiment be
I quartered there Gen Schoflold has no other
qbjvction than that the conversion of the post
Into a regimental headquarters might necessitate
thus transfer cif the headquarters of the De I

Now York city all the commanding ofilccrs

to rIln the headquarters of the department

ho will approve tho plan Gen Flaglers objec

bo Impracticable t remove the present arsenal
to Imo other point where It would not b so

1 ho policy of the War Department has of re
cent yearn been toward the mobllUalton of
Urge bodies of United States troops near tic
great centres of business but In the movement
that has been going on New York city and Its
Immediate vicinity has not been Included Its
military defence and the regulars available for
action In the event of a serious outbreak con
sist now of tho artillery stationed on Gov
ernors Island and at Forts Wudsworth and
Hamilton nnd small garrisons a Wllletts
Point and Fort Schuyler There Is no Infantry
regiment within five hundred miles of tho city
and two or three companies only at Davids
Island The city Is also without the protection
of a cavalry regiment as In the early years of
array distribution this branch of the service
was assigned t duty In the far West where In
dian wars were In progress Later however
Fort Mer opposite Washington was mad a
cavalry pst and Is now the only ono In the
East
I Is I contended by army authorities that Gov
ernors Inland having been recognized for
jean as of no value as a means of defence
through Its fortifications should b turned Into
a large Infantry post and some of the Western
regiments brought there for service The
artillery now stationed on time island It Is said
should be distributed at tho posts In and around
I the city nid hands Island made a big cavalry
I station where troops could ba quickly moved to
New York city lieu Milens opinion of the sug

proracb of at Inintri rclment then It b
quite certain that Now York Utr will hate

I could b eusil moved to Broadway within half
an hour
The objections to making the Army building
the headquarters of the Department of time
East nro based mnlnly ou time ground that the
Maorlenerul commanding his staff and the
other ofllccrs attached to time headquarters
tumid b unprovided with quarters and the
Government put to tho additional expense of al
lowing thum commutation for house rent Secre
tary Lamuut believes that there I ample room
on Governors island for both the department
headquarters and the headquarters of an In

but these could bo constructed for a moderate

Thcro ban been considerable agitation amonst
timo officer anti members of lImo various clubs In
thli city since Monday when the Board of Po r
llen Commissioners Issued Its idlet reifardlnir
the Sunday sale of liquors In the club houses
and today or tonight fully a hundred house
committees will meet to discuss the matter
Some determination will have to be reached by
time clubs and orders issued to the stewards by
tonight otherwise thus regular Sunday busi
ness vlll be done and unfortunate computa
tions may result In the opinion of many tin
arrest In a club house for an alleged violation of
the Excise law would bo the best thins that
could happen as It would provide a test casr y
and a test case Is the thing most needed now f
No one seems to know just what tho law Ye i
Harding the sale of liquor In clubs 1 and the
scanty paragraphs on the statute books relating
to the subject hava been Interpreted In so many
different ways by no many different lawyers
that both police and club men are at sea
The Police Commissioners have come ont
boldly and stated that It Is In their opinion a
violation of the law for a club to sell liquor on
Sunday and that they have announced their In
tention of making arrests In such cusses when I5
ever they could by fair means obtain enough
evidence lo warrant it The club men dont
presume to say whether they are right or wrong
In selling liquor on Sunday They confess that
they dont know anything about time law ou the
subject still they are far from ready to ac 1 <
quiesce In any interpretation of the law which
Mr Roosevelt and his colleagues may make for
them A test case would settle the question
but the result may be unpleasant for the clubs
for according to a prominent New York law ej
who has given the Excise law careful considera
tion the clubs really have no rlcht to sell
liquor at all either on week days or Sun
days At any lime ho says it U a viola
tion ottho Excise law for a club to sell
liquor In Us house because clubs are not
licensed by the local Excise Board that body
having no jurisdiction In time matter whatever
The clubs all pay the regular Internal revenue
tax to the United States Government but the t
question arises uhcther or not this will protect
them from prosecution by tIme local police an
thorltife The almost universal opinion Is that
It will not Time more prominent clubs la the
city are li no way blame for being unlicensed
for It is 1 u matter of record that for many ye M
moat of them have annually applied to the Ex
cise Board for licenses They have clue > been
told that the Board had no jurisdiction In the
matter nnd that they might tro on selling with
out Interference The consequence has been
that the clubs have been selllnc liquor for yean
without license from the local authorities
The chief matter of Interest now Is how th
police are grlng to get oridcarc asiliilt time
clubs 1roldent Roo eeit said several days f4
ago that only fair means would bo emplnjcd i 1
crud although the club men hae been walling
ever since for Mr Roosevelts dullnltlon of fair
ness In the matter or evidence Catherine they
have beard nothing from him
One of the Police Commissioners when < uev
tioned on this point yesterday tald that the u
Board expected to secure evidence for n test
case from a munbtr of a prominent club This
man he slid would purchase a drink titmor
row In his ouu club and then furnish it unmple
of his purchase to toe police Time particular
club on which time Board has designs and tht
llama of lime member who will cot the evidence
time Commissioner would not tell As ft mutter
of fact It Is nut billeted that the police intend
it t do much In the way of prosecuting the clubs
until after they ha e secured a victory In a left
cine but It Is time uncertainty of the pollc
plans that worries tbo club men
A careful canvas of all tho prominent cl lbs
In the city was made by rLx reporter > ester
day with a view to finding out just ss hat they
Intended to do about the matter Time result i
showed that while some of the club nire In
clined to take President Itooseclts int < rpreti

pollcohad no light to Interfere with them and
