Tlii" largest shipment of gold ever
nude to country fiom a foreign
n.itlon will arrive here lit Ji o'clock this
morning It was shipped fiom Grent

valued nt $3l.000,nno. With II will come
ff( urlticn which Increase tho value of
Hip shipment to $30,000,000. Tho gold

Tli lirp!i of the shipment In to
holster Ihc present low prlccH In sterling
rn-hangc, according to Information re
vived In high banking circles. It Is
pot Improbable that morn gold and
mctirltlcf. will follow.
Tills makes the total gold Imports
from Ottawa nnd Inndnn ahout $170,
MO.Oli1 since January 1. Of this amount
Marly i $133,000,000 has coma from
Ottawa.
According to Bobert K.1JI. Cowlc,
Mce-presldcnt nnd general manager of
the American ISxpres Company, the
fnU anil securities wore Kent from Kng.
land to Halifax In a fast British battle
ihlp, which wns probably well guarded
l.y n fleet of destroyers until safely out
of the war zone. On Its arrival In
Halifax the treasure wns Immediately
placed In the hands of the American
Hxprcss Company, which stored It away
In seven steel cars of heavy construction.
A special engine brought the seven
treasure cars to New York. No other
mrs were attached to the train. Kvery
rar was Kimrdeil by heavily armed men
In the employ of the express company.
They did not leave the cars for a
moment.
Will Kill TTrlll-n- Truck!.
On lis arrival In New York tho
treasure will be transferred to twenly
flve blR motor trucks, which will take
It under Rtmrd to the financial illstiict.
Mr. Cowie estimated last night that It
would probably require an hour to load
the precious freight onto the trucks and
another hour to unload It after It had
reached Wall street.
The Rold and securities arc consigned
to J. P. Morgan Co.. who arc acting
asthe tlscal and commercial agents forthe
British Government In this country. It
It probable that the gold coin, although It
la Mlil to be British, w ill be btorctl In tlm
vaults of the Sub-Treasury. The seeurl
tles will probably go Into the vaults of
the banking linn.
Whether the securities are American
hvsues which have been bought In !reat
Britain a mil are to be used as a basis
for a credit in this country or whether
they consist of a portion nf the new war
loan bonds could not be learned last
night. It was recalled that Franco
tffeited an agreement not long ago
whereby she was enabled to lorrow in
this country on the basis of French
held American securities which were
ent here as collateral.
Seldom has a gold IniMrt or export
moxenicnt been shrouded In as much
mstery as encircled the muvment of
the I50.OUO.00.) gold and securities Just
Imported. At ihe olllces of .1. I. Morgan
t Co. the members of tho tlrm preserved
in unusual silence regarding the ship
ment. They i-mceded that tiny were e
Kctlng a shipment of gold from Oie.it
Hrlt.iln and that it was comlns from flic
Mark of Kngland. As to haw the frold
'eac'ied Halifax they professed Igno
rance and refused to discuss lb"! amount
bejond stating that U wns nothing un
usual. At a lale hour last night n member of
the (Inn said that a statement would
probably be Ijsued this morning n round
10 o'clock.
Silent About Credit Plans.
In other banking circles rumors re
aiding the sold shipment placed the
itnutint at anywhere from St'i.PiiO.nO" to
JIOM.onii.imo. Whether the beginning of
cold shipments from Kngland meant
that all hope if the satisfactory -irrang-tnent
for the placing of a vast British
uedlt liete had been ended was n mat
ter which the M .igati partner and other
bankets would not discuss.
It became evident yesterday that
bankers here felt that the exchange.
piiiWem betwejn (Jrent Britain mid tho
1'nlted States was a much more stupen
dous one than had perhap" heretofore
been realized, A short time ago promi
nent bankers here wcio talking of a
British credit cr loan of $ 1 OO.'IO.OOO
which would readjust the dltlicmt'cs In'
Merlins exchange. It Is now realized
that J500,0OO,0.iO Is nearer tho sum that
ftould be necessary to put sterling back

OSBORNE TO STAY,
GOVERNOR DECIDES
Slronpr Probability Ililoy Will
Koth'c ns Hend of Slnto
I'rlsons.
OHU LIKELY TO GET PLACE
At.nANT, Aliir. 10. Thomas Mott Os
borne will remain as warden of 8lng
filng. That Is the present determination
of Gov. Whitman after discussing the
Ring Bin situation and Mr. Osborne's
prison reform methods with John B.
Blley, Superintendent of I'rlsons.
Tho Governor furthermore is ready to
slnnd back of Mr. Osborne until the.
latter hag tried In very drtall his plan
for prison reform such an Is exemplified
In the Mutual Welfare League. Mr.
Whitman wants the wanlen to complete
his experiment, for Hie believes that there
Is .much good In It.
Whllo there Is to be no change In
' the wardenshlp of Sing Sing there Is a
strong probability that Mr. Blley hlm
relf will retire. Ml. Blley will go If
the bearing In Osslnlng on Thursday In
dicates clearly that agents of his have
been conspiring to make the present
administration at Sing Sing unpopular.
Orr Mny lie Prison Itrml.
Though the Governor on his return to
Albany to-night would not dlwuss the
situation, It Is know, that he Is de
slrous of having a Bepubllcan ut th
hend of the prisons. He has selected for
that place William A. Orr, Ills present
secretary. He believes that Mr. Orr, nn
experienced newspaper mnn, has excel
lent Ideas for carrying on the work.
If on Thursday anything develops
which should call for the retire
ment of any of the prison employees,
Including Patrick H. McDonald, Supt.
ltlley's confidential man. and Supt.
Blley falls to net. the Superintendent
himself will be put on the griddle ty
tl e Governor unless he resigns.
The one thing that Gov. Whitman has
decided Ulsn Is that for the present he
will not Interfere with either Osborne or
P. ley Ilegardlng the suggestion that
Wanlen Osborne his violated the law In
pc.mPtlng convicts to enter the death
hcuse. the Governor feels probably that
these violations were technical and that
in any event it Is for Supt. Blley to act.
Nothing has been heard from McDonald
during the last day or two, and the
Goernor 1J been Informed tlmt per
haps McDonald may spring a surprise at
the court proceeding In Osslnlng on
Thursday.
Goxenor Whitman and Mr. Blley dis
cussed Mr. Osborne's case at length at
Danuemora to-day. When Mr. Blley
was asked whether he had preswd home
his grievances against Mr. Osborne he
teplled :
"Why, the Governor wants delay.
What can I do when the Governor wants
delay""
llllry n He Is Prlrnill.
Furthermore, he said that he was not
demanding Mr. Osborne's resignation.
He explained that he had Invited Gov
ernor Whitman to visit Dannemora
Prison and see tefoims which he, Mr.
Blley had pur Into effect long before
Mr. Osborne start d the Mutual Wel
fare league In Sing Sing Prison.
Mr. Blley made It clear that ho Is
friendly toward Mr. Osborne, that he be
lieves In many of the leforms which the
Sing Sing warden Is seeking to put Into
effect. He did speak bitterly, however,
of what he terms the low moral tone
among the prisoners at Sing Sing. He
seems to believe absolutely the Informa
tion which he has obtained about Sing
Sing that differs radically from Mr. Os
Pome's statement of the situation at
Sing Sing.
While In Plattsburg, Bepubllcan nelsh
bors of Supt. Blley asked the Governor
not to disturb hlm In his position and
to-day at the luncheon In Warden Jonn
B. Twombly'H home In Dannemora, Mrs.
Blley talked with the Governor regard
ing her husband's physical condition,
The Governor's friends Insist that ltlley's
resignation would have been nsked for
week ago had he been a well man.
(ioeriior emnpllnieiit Warden.
Gov. Whitman paid a marked compli
ment to Warden Twombly tn-day after
Inspecting Clinton prison.
"This prison Is splendidly managed,"
said the Governor, "and Warden Twom
bly certainly understands the problem
before hlm nnd Is working It out well.
None of the prisons touches this In point
ot management."
The Governor Is expected to ask the
next Legislature to appropriate money
to sulistltute steel for the 1,400 stone
cells nt Clinton prlon, which would
permit the cells to be constructed six
teen Inches wider ami six Inches longer.
He Is also to recommend that sanitary
plumbing be put In each cell,
"These cells without plumbing In
them are a disgrace to our civilization."
said the Governor. "They nre a relic
of the dark ages and are on n par with
the dark cells, which also must go."
OSBORNE CONFIDENT.
Ills Friends Think He Will He
lm. In nml II I ley Will lie Ousted.
Ossinino, N. V Aug. 10. Thomss
Mott Orborno returned from Auburn to
his duties as Sing Ring warden to-day,
confident that he will remain at the head
of tho prison for some time. He does
not intend to resign. lie refused abso
lutely to discuss the so-called contro
versy between himself nnd Supt. John
I). Blley of the State Prison Depart
ment or the alleged plot to "frame" his
administration by certain employees of
the Prison Department. He even denied
Hint he had made any report of the evi
dence gathered by his attorney, Joseph
A. Greene to Gov. Whitman.
Friends of tho Sing Sing hend expect
Supt. ltlley's olllclal demise before War
den Osborne's. Mr. Osbornu expects lo
go on Ills vacation on Saturilny, Imt ho
has made arrangements to continue his
experiment here In reforming convicts.
Furthermore, the warden does not ex
pect to encounter dllllcultles In working
with any possible, successor of Supt.
Blley, The belief here Is that three
persons in the Prison Department who
have tried to meddle in Sing Sing attains
for the puris.so of misleading .Mr. Biley
will bo ousted and that sooner or later
Mr. Blley himself will bo out of the de
partment. Mr. OslHirne has already picked for
his successor to Deputy Warden John
son an elllelcncy engineer, Kllhu Church,
formerly In the Now Vork city Wnter
Department.
It was learned at the prison to-day
that Supt. Blley has drafted sixty more
Sing Slug Inmates to Comstock prison
to prepare the way for a new influx
when tho courts open.
