THE GOLD BALANCE.
1t Has Reached the Very Lowest
Point Today.
SPECIAL CABINET MEETING
To Be Called on Monday to Discuss tho Con-
dition of the Treasury-An Opinion on the
Right to Issue Bonds Expected From tho
Attorney General.

1t is understood that the question which will
be discussed at the special meeting Of the cabi-
net to be held on Monday morning will
be that Of the condition Of the treasury.
The shipments Of gold from New York
today amount to 81 800 900, which, deducted
from the gold reserve, as stated this morning
on the treasurer's books, leaves the balance at
$s9, ,9S1. .217 the lowest point that has ever been
reached. During the past week the shipments
have amounted to Zoo, 900, including the
$4,000 which went to Canada. Now
that the shipments have again begun to be
heavy the subject comes before the admins
tration as one Of no little concern, for should
this rate Of gold export continue it would not
be long before the reserve would be reduced to
figure that would be uncomfortably small
At the cabinet meeting it is believed that the
Attorney General will render an opinion on the
bond question, as to the right Of the admins
tration to issue them, at lawful interest,
without action by Congress. Solicitor
General Aldrich drew up an opinion
on this question which Attorney General Miller
adopted. deciding that such . course could be
pursued. and it is intimated that Mr.. Olney will
also hold to this Judgment.
Just before the close of the last Congress the
Judiciary committee Of the House made
report on the bond question, which
was to the effect that the Secretary Of the
Treasury had no right to use the gold reserve
except for the redemption Of specie, and
further that If 1t became absolutely necessary
to invade the reserve 1t was the duty OF the
Secretary to reimburse the reserve as soon
as possible by the issuance Of bonds or some
other means At that time it was the
understanding that Secretary Carlisle,
who was then Senator, was in accord with the
views expressed in the report. 1t would seem
that the agitation of the bond question was to
be resumed

He 10 Not Now In Charge Of the Patent
ONCE Exhibit.
Mr.. A. P. Greeley Of the patent Office, who
has been in charge of the patent Office exhibit
at the worlds fair since last spring. has been
detached from that duty and has returned to
Washington to resume his duties principal
examiner. Messrs Hsins and Wilkinson have
been ordered to take charge Of the exhibit for
the present
1t is understood that Mr.. Greeley's detach-
ment was rather Of . summary nature and
that he may be called before Commissioner
Seymour for an explanation. 1t is said that the
original plan yas. 10 keep, Ar. -GFeaey at Chi
cago in charge of the exhibit, but this
idea was abandoned and 1t was de-
cided to send different examiners
there from time to time In relays.
1t is understood that some friction arose over
the change in the plan, which resulted in Mr..
Greeley's recall. These IL no criticism upon
MIR. Greeley's management, it is believed. and
the whole matter will probably be dropped
after Mr.. Greeley's interview with the commits
sioner.

An Ofacial Statement Mads by the Presi.
dent, +. j. Kimbau.
PHILADELPHIA. Pa, June S.-Prcsident p. J.
Kimball Of the Norfolk and Western railroad
this morning made the following official state
ment:
Regarding legal proceedings against
the Norfolk and Western Railroad Com
pany at Charleston. West Va, brought
by the assignee Of Thompson Brothers,
contractors, against our company, we have
had no notice whatsoever OF any suit
having been brought against our company.
Thompson Brothers had contract upon our
Ohio extension, aud at the completion
of their work our company owed them
about s29.000, but before settlement
could be made Thompson Broth
ers failed and made an assignment when some
twenty of their creditors attached the
amount due them in our hands, thus
preventing our company from making set
tlement with Thompson Bros. Our COM
pany had no knowledge whatever of the pro-
ceedings taken at Charleston, except as appears
in the newspaper reports. Our company is
prepared at any time to deposit the amount
in dispute with the court for distribu-
ton. As matter Of fact, out of
total expenditure of seven million
dollars upon the Ohio extension, the amount
still due contractors is but forty thousand dol
lars, which includes the twenty thousand dol
lars due Thompson Bros"

ing Of q celebrated land case which involves
several million dollars in value Of the land at

this city to fight their battle for them, while
the railroad company brought out its big gun
in the person Of James Mcknight, the general
counsel for the road, who will be assisted by
Mr.. W. K. Mendenhall
Secretary Hoke Smith, Who il a law

THE WASHINGTON ASYLUM,
No Investigation of Mr.. Stoutenbough @
dered or Contemplated.

No Investigation Of Mr.. stoutenbough Or
dsred or Contemplated.
As stated in The STAR Of yesterday the Com
missioners have not nor do they contemplate
ordering an investigation Of Intendent Stout
enburg Of the Washington Asylum When
the petition signed by several prom
inent business men requesting this in
vestigation was handed to the Commissioners
Que of the gentlemen was asked what interest
he had in the matter. His reply was that he
had none and had only signed the petition at
the request Of his friend Mr.. Kirby, who is an
an applicant for Mr.. Stoutenburg's place.
In the meantime things at the Washington
asylum are going on regularly. Yesterday
afternoon Commissioner Parker, without the
knowledge Of anyone, drove out to the hospital
and looked about. He found things all
running smoothly and the place looking
finely. The representative Of The STAR
asked each of the Commissioners today if
an investigation had been ordered, and the
reply from each one was that not only had it
not been ordered but was noteven contemplated.
The only charges before the Commissioner
rejecting upon Intendant Stoutenburg, they
said, had been investigated by the board Of
visitors composed Of men whose honesty could
not be impuned, and they had found the
charges groundless.

OTTAWA. June S.-Considsrabls disappoint-
ment Ia felt in government circles over the
result Of the immigration returns for The FIRST
four months Of the present year.
1t had been expected that the restrictions
imposed on immigration in the United States
would result in largely swelling the influx Of
settlers into Canada, but the hope has'not been
realized.
In the number Of settlers arriving in this
country . decrease is shown as compared with
last year, while in homestead entries in Mani
toba and the northwest there has been Q de-
cline Of So per cent.
An officer of the Canadian government who
has recently been visiting the United States for
the purpose Of studying the American immi-
grafton system, says that the restriction i'm
posed there on immigration is Q farce, as United
States officials told him immigrants were COM
ing into the country At nearly the same rate as
they did last year.
