THE FINANCIAL OUTLOOK.
Uncertainty as to Secretary Carlisle's
Action Regarding the Gold Reserve.

N~~~5
WASHINGTON, April H. - 1t looks as
though the secretary OF the treasury
would this week be confronted with the
necessity Of demonstrating wi at will be
his financial policy. 1t is expected by
treasury officials that there will be gold
shipments during the coming week suffi-
cient to wipe out the free gold balance
In the treasury and force action to
be taken to maintain the rarity OF all
issues of currency of the United States.
The secretary, when the free gold supply
Is exhausted, unless he can obtain gold
from the banks to tide over the emergency,
must determine whether he will use the
gold reserve of 100000, 900 held for the
redemption of outstanding greenbacks or
will take measures by u bond issue to re-
plenish the stock Of gold. The fact that
there is not the slightest doubt of our
ability to get gold by means of bond
issue whenever desired is pointed to as an
evidence of the needlessness of alarm over
the situation.
Mr.. Carlisle maintains almost absolute
silence as to his purpose, and will not state
in advance what he proposes to do. On
Saturday the issue of gold certificates was
stopped, except that persons who deposit
gold will continue to he paid in gold certi-
ficates, but no indication of this intention
was given until after the order was issued,
and it was not announced until The close
of business at the exchanges 1t is said
that the secretary is inclined to use the
gold reserve ii necessary rather than issue
bonds, but the probabilities are that he is
not committed in his own mind irroyoca-
bly,, and will not reach an absolute de-
csion until the time for action has come.

THE RUSSIAN TREATY.
Reasons Given for the Delay In the
Ratification.

WASHINGTON, April 17.-The probable
reason for the hitherto unexplained delay
in the exchange Of the notifications Of the
extradition treaty recently concluded with
Russia became known yesterday. Tho
treaty was ratified by the senate Of the
United States, with an amendment limit
ing the section relating to political crimes,
shortly before the close Of the last admin
istration. The exchange of ratifications
was to take place at St. Petersburg.
The announcement that the exchange
had taken place was expected before the
close of March, and the delay has given
rise to considerable speculation. This went
so far as to originate a rumor from Berlin
that President Cleveland had instructed
Minister White to withhold the exchange
a statement that was promptly denied at
the state department. 1t was learned
yesterday that the delay in making the ex-
change was doubtless due to the absence
of the czar from St. Petersburg. He is
visiting his second son, George, who, on
account Of pulmonary weakness, In spend
ing some time in the Caucasus mountains,
In the Crimea.
1t is believed, however, that the czar's
Authorization of the Russian copy Of the
treaty is now In St. Petersburg, and that
the formality of exchange will soon be
enacted. The copy for the czar's signature
left ST. Petersburg on the Sd inst, and
should have returned there by this date.

LITTLE Rock. April IA. J. Werner,
the officer who came from Butte, Mont,
with Sheriff White, Hickey, the alleged
murderer of Clayton, and informer Burk-
hardt arrived here from Lutherville, Ark.
Mr.. Werner believes that Burkhardt is SO
unreliable that he will be unable to pro-
duce any evidence that will clear the mys-
terry. The stenographer who reported the
proceedings of the preliminary examina-
tion for W. H. H. Clayton has returned
from Fort Smith. He says Mr.. Clayton
read it over carefully, reaching the con-
clusion that 1t would take stronger evil
dence than that given by Burkhardt to
convince him that Hickey is the murderer
Of his brother. -

KILLED IN A RACE War.
Desperate Battle Between Hun
garians and Italians.
RESULT OF AN OLD TIME FEUD.

Two Known to be Killed and Two Others
Hole - Several Others Seriously In
Jured.
HAzLEToN, Pa, April 18.-Ihe trouble
which has been brewing between the Hun
garians and Italians of Milnesville and
vicinity for some time terminated In a
bloody battle Saturday night. AS a result
two meg are dead, two missing supposed
to be lying at the bottom Of mine hole
and three others seriously injured.
For years feud has existed between
these factions. The bitter hatred enter
tanned by them is more reaching and even
more intense than WAS the famous Hat
field Mccoy feud. From time to time this
enmity has eliminated in pitched battles,
but never with such fearful results as In
the present instance.
1t was about 10 o'clock when party Of
four Hungarians were coming into Har-
leigh. They had reached a point about
half way down Fishers Hill, when they
were attacked by eleven Italians. The
firing was a signal for a concerted attack
on the part Of the Italians, who seemed to
swarm from the woods on every side.
About three hundred yards further down
at the school house, and on the Harleigh
road nearby other Hungarians were met.
The fight that ensued was terrific. The
Hungarians, who never go on the road at
night unarmed, after the first onslaught
prepared to defend themselves, and a vol
ley of bullets into the attacking Italians
served to check them for a moment. 1t
was only for a moment, however, as the
next instant they closed in upon their ad-
versaries and a fierce hand to hand conflict
ensued, the Italian stilletto playing havoc
with the Hungarians. The latter were
outnumbered largely, and becoming dis
mayed broke and fled precipitately.
The yells and whoops of the victorious
Italians reechoed through the mountains,
and soon attracted number of villagers
to the scene At each point of attack In,
jured men were found lying on the ground
groaning from wounds The road in the
vicinity was covered with blood which
formed in pools in the dust and trickled In
streams down the ditch.
Joseph Christie and Michael Morentzi
were picked up unconscious and taken to
the hospital in this city. Christie was shot
in the right shoulder, almost cutting the
arm from the socket. Morentzi's skull
was fractured and he died in the hospital
mike" Bortz was shot in the mouth,
the ball coming out Of the Back of his
neck. He was taken to Hollywood, where
he died shortly after. Another man who
was engaged in the battle dropped his pay
check on the road. 1t was known as mo.
40S." Search at the boarding houses failed
to reveal anything Of him. His hat was
found later on the edge of a deep mine
hole full of water. Heis supposed to be at
the bottom Of the hole Another Hun.
garian is also missing, and he is supposed
to have met the same fate. In the several

and Hollywood wounded men are now
