10 De.i with the Financial situation.
wAsHrsaToS. April 22.-Thcrs have boen no
dovelopmen in tho financial situation to-
day. except that the amount OF gold taken
from the reserve fund yesterday has been
made good and the sum OF about 100000 OF
free gold added to the Treasury resources.
Secretary Carlisle has given much time
to a study Of tho Treasury operations TO-DAY.
and has listened to the advice Of some more
or less ablo flnnnciers. There is n feeling
among Treasury officials aud public men gem
orally that the worst is now over. and that the
"scaro" will gradually pass away under the
belief that Secretary Carlieie's action OF yes
terdav is In effect an announcement OF the es-
tablished policy OF tho Administration with re.
gard to gold payments. The adverse criti-
clsms upon the some mewhat uncertain and vacll-
lating course Of Secretary Carlisle still con-
tinue. and with increased force. but the feeling
that he must. in defence OF his own reputation.
resign from Mr. Clevclands Cabinet is not SO
strong as it was yesterday. The rolicy inaugu-
ratcd by the encroachment upon the gold re-
serve to maintain gold payments Is
everywhere understood to be q Cleveland
policy. set In motion In opposition to the
rather timidly expressed protests OF the Secre-
tary OF the Treasury. AS a rule Mr.. Carlisle's
friends are Indignant at the treatment he has
received. but some OF them. including those
who advised him not to go into the Cabinet.
are inclined to think that he deserves TO be
nv for Ia in Of
what they predicted would happen when he
accepted the Treasury portfolio. It is we'll
known fact that Mrs Carlsle's most serious
objection to her husbands acceptance
and that OF some OF his intimate
friends was the fear that he would be
treated as u schoolboy. just as the members OF
tho former Cleveland Cabinet were treated.
and which led to tho remark OF Secretary
Lamar on one memorable occasion after a
Cabinet meeting that "the master is in bad
humor to-day"
Mr. Carlisle pooh-poohs the report that he
intends to resign. and two or three Of his COLI
leagues arc inclined to ridlcule tho idea that
there is misunderstanding or any Ill feeling
between tho President and his Secretary OF the
Treasury. Nevertheless. the talk OF a row con.
tinuos, and the comments tho public relative
to Secretary Carlisls's handling Of the first
hard problem Of his administration nre not at
oil complimentary. Among tho prominent men
who talked with tho President and Secretary
OF tho Treasury to-day was Henry W. Cannon.
Comptroller OF tho Treasury during Cleve-
lands first Administration. and at present
President OF the Chase National Bank Of Now
York.
WARRINGTON. April 22.-The gold reserve.
depleted yesterday. is intact to-day. offers
aggregating nearly $4OOO.OO0 having been
received and accepted by the Secretary this
morning. Secretary Carlisle said he did not
think. In justice to those who were disposed to
supply the Government with gold. that their
names should be published. and for that rea-
son alone no did not think 1t wise to give
names and places from which tho offers came
He was very much pleased over the fact that
offers aggregated sufficient amount to make
the gold reserve intact and leave little free
gold In the Treasury. He expressed the
hope that It would continue to increase.
DO that he would DO able to meet any
demand made on the Treasury for gold for
export on Tuesday. He said that the Treas
ury would continue the policy now being pur-
sued OF paying out gold for tho Treasury coin
notes. and that at an early hour yesterday.
when It seemed that the reserve would be en-
eroached upon. he directed tho sub Treasurer
st New York to continue paying these notes as
heretofore. He was therefore ut q loss to un-
derstand how any uncertainty prevailed in the
public mind as to tho action OF the Treasury
Department in the premises-
When the day closed the Treasury Depart
ment had to its credit slightly over $7OO. 900
In free gold. 1t is expected that this will be
increased on Monday. as there is disposition
shown by Western bankers to help the Troas-
ury swell It's gold balance. Several banks In
New York. too. are said to have turned In gold

temporarily. Mt least-and the fact that
no bad result has occurred from encrouah-
Ing on tho gold reserve. leads to
the belief that mono will occur. II 1t Is found
necessary to repeat the proceeding. 1t is an
ticpated here that large shipments OF gold
will DO made next week. large enough. II the
present information is correct. to again wipe
out the free gold and invade tho gold reserve
No Official information OF these shipments has
reached the Treasury. but the reports come
from sources usually correct. In case the
shipments are made. there is nothing to indi-
cate that Secretary Carlisle will not do as he
did yesterday. viz. invade the gold reserve to
meet all demands.
The Governments expenditures 30 far this
month have been heavy. exceeding the re-
ceipts by over S2.00O.000. The receipts have
been $22.70O.0OU. and expenditures S24.9OO,-
000. This has had the effect OF reducing the
net cash balance in the Treasury. which to-
day is $2i.o05.00o. and OF this amount. $1O.-
100000 is In subsidiary coin. and Sl1.00O.00O
