THE GOLD SITUATION

Is Greatly Improved, and tho Recent
FURRY Has Practically subSidCd.
WASHINGTON, D. G., April 97.-The
gold situation apparently grows easier
each day, and tho furry Of the past
week has entirely subsidized, Tho New
York bankers called for definite state
ment from the administration on the
ground that 1t would settle the atmos.
phere, and tho statement OF President
Cleveland seems TO have had that effect.
Interest in the financial world has now
been diverted to New York by tho pres
onco there nj tho President and Score.
tary Carlisle, and on account Of the very
important part that the lnanciers Of
that city are now playing.
Tho position which tho Now York
bankers have occupied is being severely
criticised. The evident dosiro OF tho
south and west to assist the treasury Is
contrasted with tho position OF New
York, which eau Immediately relieve
the government, but refuses to do 80
unless on terms advantage to Its own
pockOtbook. Tho outcome OF tho visit
OF Mr.. Carlisle 10 New York is awaited
with considerable interest
AT tho treasury department to-day
everything was unusually quiet. The
gold question has lost the concern which
II has occasionOd. Small olors OF gold
continue to DO made and arc accepted
Acting Secretary llamin said that tho
situation was very satisfactory.

LIQUOR LICENSES.
Twenty Nine of the 1873 Applicants
have Paid the Fee,
TIE new Law lSBEING TESTEDNOW
And Saloon Keepers Find that it
Means Something after all-Four
applications Pending, which Cam
not DO Considered until May o, so
that the Places must bs Shut May 1,

The saloon keepers who were granted
license by the city council Tuesday even
ing are walking up and settling a little
faster than is customary, Last year
over one hundred paid and took out
their papers on tho last day. Last even
ing twenty-nine OF the 1873 who got

ing.
When tho new law was passed few
weeks ago, requiring a scrutiny OF all
applications for licenses by the commit
tee on petitions and remonstrances,
there was Il deal OF uneasiness among
saloon men, but when all the licenses
went through without any show OF OBJ
lection except in two cases, where the
protests were SO intellectual as to DO al.
most iarcical, the idea got abroad that
the new law was q dead letter. So far
developments do not sustain this view,
4here are still four applicants to be
passed upon by the committee. One
is a man who expects to 20 into tho 81.
loon business June |. Another appli'
can't does not expect TO sell before May
80. These two are in no hurry,
OF the other two one Is Nick Assulta,
II is understood ho will withdraw his
application, and another man will APP
ply for license at the same place OH
Market street above Tenth. This APP
plication must first be put in to Coun-
Gil, and then referred to the committee,
and reported back to Council with the
recommendation OF tho committee.
1t is reported on good authority that
a resolution will be proposed in the
committe recommending not only that
council refuse Assuta a license, II his
application is not withdrawn, but also
that no license DO granted to anybody
to keep q saloon at the same stand. 1t
is very general idea that the place has
been SO tough dive in tho past that re.
form would be impossible; besides
which the surroundings are Of such q
character rs to make 1t an unfit place
for n saloon.
There Is also an East Wheeling house
whose application has not been acted
on, and cannot under the now law now
DO acted on before May 8, This means
that the house will have to DO closed
from May /, or rather from April 80
until May 10. So that, after all, it be.
gins to seem apparent to the saloon men
that the new ordinance may cause those
who do not observe it some inconyeni'
ence.
There is renewed talk OF an applica.
ton for license for n saloon on the
Island. This proposition has always
met with bitter opposition, and no
doubt will again ii an application is
made.

Ben Shcarer Pardoncd.


Statesman.
The board of pardons yesterday
granted pardon to Ben Shearer, who,
in April, 1890, was sentenced in
Washington county to five years inn
prisonment for stealing stock.
Shearer's application for pardon was
signed by the judge before whom he
was tried, the district attorney who
prosecutd the case and many others.
After Shearer had been sent to the
penitentiary it came to light that he
was not the principal in the stealing
affair, but only tool in the hands OF
rascally schemers who had never beer
apprehended.
Shearer's time would have expired
next fall and, in view of all the circum
stances, the board concluded to pardon
him and allow him to go home in tim
this sppring to put in crop and car
for his family, who are in destitut
circumstances.
