THE TREASURY SITUATION,
The Statement From the President Restores
Confidence and AIiays Alarm.

Ahc Stasemcut from the President Restores
Confidence and Arays Alarm.
The authoritative statement OF Mr. Cleve-
land. printed elsewhere in TIE STAR. in which
he announced the present and future policy Of
the administration relative to the use
of the gold reserve has taken the
edge off the excitemen: that fol-
lowed the act Of the Secretary Of the
Treasury in dipping into the reserve fund. II
there has been any danger of q financial
furry that danger appears now to have
passed. Under the interpretation Of Mr..
Cleveand's statement the reserve is to
be treated simply as SO much cash
in the treasury, and whether the aggregate
rises or falls few million a dav becomes
matter of little concern. Som. offers of the
yellow metal were received from the west aud
accepted. and Treasurer Jordan at New York.
it was reported. had also received a consider
able amount of gold certificates. Up TO noon
the treasury was not advised 10 tne extent of
the gold shipments for tomorrow.
The statement of the President that the
Secretary of the Treasury never contem-
plated the payment Of the treasury notes
in silver has created considerable talk
as there was general belief that
not only had this plan been seriously
on. The advisers of Secretary Cari sic, espe-
cially the southern Senators. had. it was under
stood, counseled him to adopt the course
that has been outlined. and with
them he agreed. The intimation that the pay
ment OH the notes in gold was to be stopped
was received with the greatest concern by Wall
street and messages and couriers were
sent here to stop this plan. Saturday
night Mr.. Cannon and other prominent New
forkers came post haste to Washington and
were in consultation with Mr.. Cleveland re-
garding the situation. warning him that a
panic would surely result if this course of pay
ing the treasury notes in silver was carried
out. The statement of the President issued
last night was the decision reached.

outstanding the fact that it was marked
down this morning but little attention was paid
to its gyrations. couple of months ago the
manipulators in this stock carried the price up
to fancy figures, and the trading was on large
scale. 1t Is by Developments that the dealings
are due to match orders. For that reason the
room Is not concerned with the fluctuations.

THE WEATHER BUREAU INQUIRY.
The Investigation to BE Continued This
Afternoon.

The Investigation to Be Continued This
Afternoon.
The investigation of the charges made against
the officials of the weather bureau by J. b. Nc
Laughlin will be continued at the Agri-
cultural Department this afternoon at 4
o'clock. Secretary Morton has COM
advising him of the continuance of the investi-
CATION this afternoon and expressing the wish
that he assist Gen. Colby in the proceeding as
much as possible. and in placing before him
what documents and records of the bureau
he may desire. Gen. Colby has telegraph he'd
for Mr.. Crane of Norfolk to appear before him in
regard to the Nichols matter. and MIR. Crane will
be present tomorrow Mr.. Theodore +. Town
send. the father of Titus Townsend. and Mai.
Dunwoody have also been notified to be AT
the Agricultural Department this afternoon. A.
J. Davis. who is now stationed at the Nankton
n. d., depot. has been called on for state
ment OF his knowledge of the Nichols affair. 1t
is expected that Mr.. Il. Ross Perry will be
present this afternoon to represent Prof. Har-
rington.
PROF. HARRINGToNs PROTEST.
Prof.. Harrington today sent another letter
to Secretary Morton protesting generally
against the manner in which the proceed
ings were being conducted. and especially
against the right of the Secretary to have Az
sistant Attorney General Colby conduct the in
vestigation and report his Judgment
and recommendations in the premises.
He says If the Secretary persists he prof
Harrington) is under duress to appear and de-
fead himself, but it will be with a reservation
OF all his rights, both to civil
and criminal redress. Prof. Harrington
bases his new protest on the ground that Gen.
Colby is now virtually under investiga-
ton By Senate committee. ~ he
claims. The investigation by the Senate
select committee on Indian depreda;io cases
in the Court of Claims has been directed to tie
general conduct of Assistant Attorney
General Colby's Office. Prof. Har-
rington gives statement Of facts
alleged to have been brought out in testimony
before that committee, and cites pages from the
official report of the committee for verifcation
Of what he said. He SAYS that he is ready to
believe that Secretary Morton was ignorant of
these facts when he selected Gen. Colby as
prosecutor and Judge.
Hesuggests that tine Secretary send for disin-
terested lawyer to act as prosecutor; make some
provision for securing the attendance Of nom
resident witnesses and otherwise arrange for
an impartial inquiry. He protests against the
taking Of testimony against him without
first giving him reasonable notice. In closing,
he observes that if the Secretary had notified
him that he wanted the position Of chief of
the weather bureau for q political follower
he would have been at least frank. ALLOWING
yourself to be used by those who have for
months been conspiring for my place. he
adds, ..you have assaulted my character. That

charged that she abandoned her one month

When the infant WIS found il was turned
over TO the matron OF the first police station

Policeman Creagh knew that Josephine

own.
Judge Miller heard the Testimony concern

front steps and the subsequent development
The defendant got on the stand and told her
side Of the story.
''How old are you?" the Judge asked.

"Where does he liver"

Josephine insisted that she was not the rar.
son who left the child on Mr. Lannhan's door
step.
Judge Miller said he was only sorry that
there was not some provisi on of law IN der which
the father OF the child could be prosecuted,
and then these rascslly fellows. the Judge said,
would not be SO numerous
He thought the law should be 20 amended
that the fathers would be included and then
he believed there would not be many cases OF
this kind
II was stated BY the mother that the child
had been fed on the bottle. but that il had not
been fed since il was taken from the ASYLUM
yesterday.
Judge Miller thought the policeman should
have left the young one in the asylum instead
Of bringing it out and allowing it 20 go so long
without food.
The judge directed Officer Creagh to take
the baby back TO the asylum. The officer. how
ever. did not seem 20 relish the fob. for he
went out and got a colored woman to carry the
child for him
The judge disposed OF the case by fining the
girl 600 or thirty days. and the girl Was sent 70

AT THE WHITE HOUSE,

This Was the Day That Mr.. Cleveland Re-
served and No ONCE Seekers Called.
The Office seekers have become generally ac-
quainted with the fact that President Cleve-
land reserves Monday for himself and today
the White House was practically deserted.
Early in the day Secretary Gresham called and
was closeted with Mr.. Cleveland for some time.
Secretary Morton was also at the Executive
Mansion. but he only saw Mr.. Thurber.
The private secretary said to STAR reporter
that he had heard nothing of the report that
the President intended to provide himself with
working rooms in the War Department and at
that building it was said that nothing was
known of any such intention on the part OF the
President ard appropriations for a change had
been made.
1t is not thought that the President will make
any more nominations until after his return
from Chicago. He will leave for New York
some time Wednesday and proceed from there
for the west.

DISCLOSING OF MILK CASES.
Judge Miller Compliments One Dealer an
Fines Others.


Fines Others.
This afternoon Judge Kimball disposed Of
the milk cases. Referring to the charge against
Mrs. Wagner. proprietress of the Swiss Dairy,
the court said the proof showed that the man.
ager of the dairy had been very cautious in
every respect. About the dairy the court said the
milk had been handled with great care as to
the keeping of the article. Then Mr.. Beale had
visited the farms from which he had obtained
the milk and had dismissed shippers. The
only thing he did not do was to have an ANALYSIS
made of the milk.
In conclusion the court referred to the
analysis of the sample and said it only showed
the absence of small percentage of the fats.
In the case he thought violation of the law
had been shown. and be dismissed the case
after complimenting Manager Beale for the
manner in which he had conducted the bust
ness.
Concerning the cases of Messrs. Ayre 4
Davis, J. II. Ont-ich and J. NJ Dentz the court
said there were different conditions of affairs.
The analysis showed the milk to be of
f different quality. The milk from. Ontrich's
place, the court said. was the poorest. In the
cases Of Ayre Il Davis and Dentv the court
said annotto had been used, and this the court
held, was an adulteration. 1t was the coloring
of an inferior quality of milk to make it ap-
pear like superior quality.
The court held that the law had been yio-
lated in each of these cases, and Mr.. Ontrich
being the only defendant in court, Judge Kim
ball impos ed fine OF $40 and suspended exc
cution of sentence.
Sentence will be imposed in the other cases
later on.
In the case of Lewis Crow. whose place of
business is adjoining the Police Court, Mr..
Sothoron asked that il be disposed of.
The ANALYSIS in the case showed that water
had been added to the milk, although Mr..
