TREASURY'S BIGGEST DAY.
Contained More Gold Yesterdav Than
Ever Before.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 7 There was
more gold in the Treasury today than
the Government has ever had before
at one time. The net gold and bullion,
including $100,000,000 reserved for the
redemption of United States notes, as
reported at the Treasury Department
today, was $251,618,132. The amount
never reached $200,000,000 until Aug
ust of last year, when it was a little
more than $217,000,000. The actual
amount of gold coin in the Treasury
today was $195,S12,S40, and of gold bul
lion $12S,904,S21, making a total of
$324,717,661, against which gold certifi
cates to the value of $73,099,528 are out
standing.

THE REGATTA A GREAT SUCCESS
List of th2 Wlnainff Boats-II jw the
Myrtle and Hea anl Clufcs Enter
tained Friecds.
Another Regatta Day has come and
gpne anu this was even more success
fully celebrated than the last, which
isaying a good deal. At the Myrtle
and llealani club-houses the members
vied with each other in doing the most
tor their guests. Both houses were
gaily decorated for the occasion with
flags and palm leaves interspersed
with the club colors. The ceiling of
the Healani clubroom was an especial
ly artistic piece of work and showed
plainly the handiwork of some of the
club's lady friends. Ice cream and
cakes, with lemonade and other good
things,, were dispensed bountifully by
both clubs and partaken of with the
greatest impartiality by all. The Hea
lani boys and girls at the Myrtle ice
cream and danced to the Myrtle music
just as freely as they did at their own
house, and the Myrtle boys and girls
returned the compliment in the same
spirit. In fact, it might have been one
club with two houses but for the pre
vailing colors and the races between
the two. When these took place and
the honor of the club was at stake, it
was different till the race was over
Both, club-houses were packed with
visitors the livelong day, dancing be
ing kept up at both with very slight
intermissions.
On the waterfront a dense mass of
humanity lined all points of vantage
along the wharves, filled all the chairs
provided on the Pacific Mail wharf,
and occupied all the vacant space on
the big steamship Lennox, moored
alongside. The Government band oc
cupied the poop-deck of this vessel and
discoursed lively music throughout the
day, especially about 4 o'clock in the
afternoon, when the transport Colum
bia came in and anchored out iiv the
stream, the band of the Thirty-fourth
Infantry on board furnishing addi
tional music.
On the judges' stand, which consist
ed of a large pontoon moored in the
stream, a large awning was spread
which added much to the comfort of
those whom business called there. A
splendid lunch was served to the offi
cials at noon by J. W. Chapman, the
caterer for the occasion, and there
were liquid refreshments to help wash
it down. Owing to some delay in get
ting the pontoon moored in the right
spot it was 10 o'clock before the first
of the day's events was called.
THE RACES.
The first was the five-oared whale
boat race, course spar buoy and re
turn. Harry Evans' Moanalua and the
pilotboat were the only entries. The
latter had the advantage going out but
on the return were overhauled by the
Moanalua crew which won a closely
contested race. The time of the win
ning boat was IS minutes, 10 seconds.
Next came the senior 6-oared sliding-
seat barge; course, from judges'
stand out the channel to snar
buoy, passing on port side, thence
back to start; the entries being Myrtle
and Healani boats. This was the event
of the day. The Healanis took the
water first and got a good start, in
creasing their lead at the lighthouse to
about a length. This they kept on in
creasing till the first half of the course
was rowed. A bad turn, however, al
lowed the Myrtles to close up much of
the gap and a splendid race ensued on
the homeward trip, neither boat hav
ing much the advantage until opposite
the boathouses, when the Healanis
made a surprising spurt, and by the
time the line was crossed had put a
clear half-dozen lengths of daylight
between the other boat. The Myrtles
were done up and could not respond
when the Healanis sDiirted. Time,
12:27 2-5.
The "Old-Timers' " race did not come
off owing to objections to the make-up
of the Myrtle crew. The judges de
clared no race, but the Myrtle crew
went over the course just for practice.
Next to the barge race, interest cen
tered in the first-class yacht race be
tween the Gladys and Bonnie Dundee.
It was just 10:42 when Starter Wil
son's pistol cracked as the yachts
crossed the line, the Bonnie leading by
about 10 seconds. At the bell buoy
the Gladys had caught up and passed
her competitor. She reached the ai
kiki stakeboat at 11:19. a minute and
a half ahead of the Bonnie. The '
Gladvs passed the bell buoy on the
return at 11:35 and the Bonnie Dundee
one minute later. Both yachts were
becalmed for a time off the harbor
but at the second turn off Pearl Har
bor the Gladys was four minutes be
hind the Bonnie, the hitter's time be
ing 12:42. She made this up. however.
before the entrance to the channel was
reached, passing the bell buoy ahead
of the Bonnie some four minutes. She
crossed the line 5 minutes, 40 seconds
ahead of the Bonnie, having beaten
President Dole s vacht twice in one
week over the same course in differ
ent weather. T. W. Hobron sailed the
Gladys and Judge Wilcox the Bonnie
Dundee.
The second-class yacht race was be
tween the Helene and Hawaii, the lat
ter sailed by L. A. Thurston and the
former bv Harry Whitney. It was a
close race to the bell buoy, but from
there the Helene forged ahead am
soon led the Hawaii by 5 or 6 minutes,
beating her in by 14 minutes, 54 sec
onds.
Three boats started in the C-paddle
canoe race, Waikiki, Liloa and Kaka-
ako, the second one takinj
the lead
and holding it to the finish,
minutes, 502 .seconds.
Time,
- In the third-class yacht race the
starters and their time, is given as fol
lows: Myrtle. 2:21:43; Pokii, 2:43:31;
Abbie M, 2:52:30; Edith L, 2:54:53;
Voiante. 3:15:20. c "
The diving contest was won by Kui
wa, who remained under water 1 min
ute and 2 seconds. He also took the
half-mile swimming race in 14:13 4-5,
there being no one to swim against
him.
The 100-yard swimming race went
to Dan Renear, without opposition, in
1 minute and 1 second.
There were five starters in the
steamer-boats race, the Mauna Loa's
boat coming in first in 13:33 and the
Keauhou second.
The sailing canoe race was captured
by Kakaako with Kanohoioleake sec
ond. .
The yacht Noma's crew took the
4-oared dingy race in good shape, but
there was a long delay in the start,
and it is doubtful whether anybody
concerned has yet found out what sort
of a boat should be allowed to enter in
a dingy race.
The Myrtles and Healanis were both
represented in the 6-oared sliding-seat
barge, for members of clubs who have
not rowed in any race outside of a
club. It was won by the Myrtles in
13 minutes, 38 2-5 seconds, against
14:11 for the Healani boat.
Five of the 2-oared shoreboats
showed up out of the twelve entered,
the Erin taking first money, Mayflower
second find Benicia third.

ON THE VERGE OF WAR.
CAPE TOWN, Sept. 7, mid-
night. The Boers, it is stated
positively, are concentrating on
the borders.
JOHANNESBURG, Sent. 7
The Burgomaster announces
that the Government will help
the municipality to continue its
preparations for hostilities.
LONDON, Sept. 8 A special
dispatch to the Morning Post
from Pietermaritzburg says
that the S00 Boers, who left Pre-
toria for Standerton, about fifty
miles from the frontier, pushed
on to Volsrust, close to the Na-
tal border, where they are now
encamped.
The same correspondent says
that the arrangements for the
defense of Newcastle, in Natal,
south of Laings Neck, are now
practically complete. He adds:
"The Governor of Natal in-
forms me that the Boers of
Utrecht and Vryheid have been
suddenly recalled to the high
veldt. They were compelled to
leave their cattle behind them,
but they took children of the
natives as hostages." y
The Times, commenting ed-
itorially upon the Transvaal's
demand for an explanation of
the presence of British troops
on the border, says: Such a
demand as the Transvaal has
addressed to its suzerain is pro-
bably without precedent, except
as an act of defiance. Ignorant
of diplomatic usages as the
Boers may be, they could hard-
A- ly have taken this step unless
they wished to dare us to a trial
of strength. If the Transvaal"
now withdraws from an unten-
able position the future cannot
be determined on the same
terms as were proposed at the
Bloemfontein conference. The
Government would now be jus-
tified in annulling: its previous
offers.
BLOEMFONTEIN. Oranee
Free State, Sept. 7. It is un-
derstood that all the Transvaal
artillery has been called out and
that the burehers have been no-
tified to be ready. The latest
reply of the Transvaal to Great
Britain is regarded as marking
the disappearance of the last
hope of peace.

BRITISH CABINET
Will Place a Time Limit for a
Conference at Cape Town.
VIRTUALLY All ULTIMAUUM SENT
Report ;ThAt British and Boers Have
Already Come Into Conflict on
the Frontier.
LONDON, Sept. 8. The Cabinet
council here today attracted greater
public attention than any meeting of
the Ministers for years past.
A well-dressed crowd of 2000 to 3000
people impatiently thronged the pre
cincts of the Foreign Office through
out the session, eagerly scrutinizing
the faces of those coming and going in
the hope of obtaining a glimmering of
the outcome of the momentous meet
ing. The generals were enthusiastical
ly cheered as they appeared, the crowd
evidently understanding that they had
been summoned to be in readiness in
the event of the Ministers wishing
their advice.
Mr. Chamberlain, the Secretary of
State for the Colonies, and the Earl
of Sel borne, the Under Secretary, were
the first arrivals among the officials,
and were followed by Field Marshal
Lord Wolseley, the commander-in-
chief of the army; General Sir Redvers
Buller, who, it is said, will have the
field command in the event of a war
with the Transvaal, and General Sir
Evelyn Wood, adjutant-general.
The arrival of Lord Salisbury, the
Premier, was the signal for tremend
ous cheering. Next came the Duke of
Devonshire, the lord president of the
local Government Board, and the Earl
of Halsbury, the Lord High Chancellor
who passed unnoticed.
As showing the importance of the
meeting of the council, Under Secre
taries Wynham of the War Depart
ment, and Broderick of the Foreign
Office, were summoned to attend. By
10 o'clock all the Cabinet Ministers
were present. It was reported that Mr.
Balfour, the First Lord of the Treas
ury, would not agree with some of his
colleagues .in the Cabinet, and there
was some talk of a split.
The first indication of the possible
decision of the Cabinet came from the
Stock Exchange, where the tone re
covered on the report that The Minis
ters had decided not to send an ultima
tum to the Government of the Trans
vaal, but to insist that the Transvaal
must agree to a conference at Cape
Town. It is too early yet, however,
to give this as definite information of
the action contemplated or taken.'
The Ministers came out arm in arm,
laughing and chating, greatly contrast
ing with the manner in which they
went in. Lord Salisbury again receiv
ed an ovation.
Although the Foreign Office has not
given out a statement the general im
pression was that no ultimatum would
be sent to the Transvaal at present and
that a time limit will be placed for a
conference at Cape Town.
CAPE TOWN, (South Africa), Sept.
7. It is reported here tonight that
Boers and British troopers have come
into collision on the frontier between .
the Transvaal and British Bechuana-'
land, west of Pretoria. The news caus- '
ed intense excitement and much fore
boding in Cape Town, for the peace
party here fears that even one incident i
in the embittered state of feeling may
provoke war.
G. A. R. ENCAMPMENT.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 7. -The
thirty-third national encampment of
the Grand Army of the Republic came
to an end tonight. The election of a
commander-in-chief, which it was sup
posed would be settled only after a
warm contest, was conducted and car-

ried out in the most peaceable manner
imaginable. Colonel Albert D. Shaw of
Watertown, N. Y., was unanimously

ganization, after Judge Leo Rassieur of
St. Louis had declined to be ci candidate.
SHAMROCK'S THIRD SPIN.
NEW YORK. Sept. 7. In a breeze
from five to seven knots an hour, Sir
Thomas Lipton's challenging yacht
Shamrock took her third trial spin to
day off Sandy Hook.
There the Shamrock stood off to sea
for nearly an hour, easing sheets at
times and shifting light sails, but at
no time did she develop the great speed
credited to her in former trials. In
fact, she seemed not to be a success as
a light weather boat.
DEWEY'S HEALTH IMPROVING.
GIBRALTAR. Sept. 7. Admiral
Dewey today visited the garrison libra
ry and lunched with the United States
Consul. His health is gradually im
proving, and he believes he will be en
tirely recovered before his arrival In
New York harbor.
REAR-ADMIRAL PICKENS DEAD.
BOSTON, Sept. 8. Rear-Admiral
Pickens, commanding the navy yard,
died of apoplexy at an early hour this
morning. He was fifty-nine years of
age.
AUSTRALIAN CABINET CRISIS.
SYDNEY (N. S. W.), Sept. 7. The
Assembly today by a vote of 75 to 41
passed a resolution declaring a lack of
confidence in the Ministry.
THE MORGAN CITY.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 7. Two
large holes have been found in the hull
of the Morgan City. The following
cablegram came to the Quartermaster's
Department here yesterday, sent by
Purser Edwards from Nagasaki:
"At low water divers found two
holes, one in the fore peak, 6 by 3 feet,
and one in the fore bold, 2 by 3 feet.
"EDWARDS."
The officials here are of the opinion
that the holes can be patched and the"
v-ssel pumped out, taken to Nagasaki
and permanently repaired there. About
a month's time would be required for
this, it lis thought.
NO REVOLT IN VENEZUELA.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 7. Senor Pu
lido, the Charge d'Affaires of Vene
zuela, this evening, in response to a
cablegram sent by him, received a mes
sage from the Foreign Office of Vene
zuela, saying:
"The news of a new outbreak in
Venezuela, published yesterday, is
without foundation."
GREAT FRENCH PLOT.
NEW YORK, Sept. C. A special to
the World from Paris says: New eri
uence has been discovered in the re
cently unearthed plot against the re
public which makes the cnarges against
Paul Deroulede and his colleagues
much more serious. Wholesale arrests
are looked for at the conclusion of the
Dreyf us trial. The plot was well fin
anced and well planned. New docu
ments seized include a number of the
Duke of Orleans' autograph letters to
Deroulede which leave no doubt of the
guilt of many high political person
ages. Most of the Generals implicated
in the Dreyfus affair were in the plot
and a number of clericals. The trial
before the Senate begins on September
IStlrand will be more sensational than
the Dreyfus case.
FOR MURDER.
Joseph Frenna, the San Francisco
barber who shot and killed James F.
Turner, the half-interest swindler, was
held to answer before the Superior
Court on a charge of murder by Police
Judge Graham. Bail was fixed at the
sum of $5,000.
