SPECIAL to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, March 7.-Congress- I.
man johnson, of North Eakota, left for
home today, and will waste no time in
reaching his North Dakota preserves.
He declares that he is ready and
anxious 10 meet his enemies, who pro-
pose to retire him, and gives it out that
he will be a candidate for reelection to
congress. The old gang ought to be
dead and buried by this time according
to Mr. JohnsOn's chronology, and if this
is found not to be the case, the Nelson
county statesman will at once take the
Warpath against them. The reports TO
the effect that Mr.. Johnson has been
wasting his time weeping over the
election of Senator Roach are not true.
He has said that he regretted the
election of a Democrat in North Dakota,
but he has made no secret of the fact
that as between Senator Roach and eX
Senator Casey, or any other man set up
by the old crowd, he prefers the former.
Both Congressman johnson and Sena-
tor HansbrOugh received Senator Roach
with open arms, and each would like to
induce MIN to take hand in their quar-
Iels, but those who know the new SEN
ator from North Dakota will rest as
sured that he will do nothing of the
kind. He has come here to do some
thing for his state, and he proposes to do
it. preferably with the active and zeal
Gus cooperation of Johnson and Hans
brough. but if they fly the track, the
new senator will 90 it alone.

ISSUE OF BONDS.
1t Could Be Arranged in a Very
Short Time.

NEW YORK, March THE Washing
ton correspondent of the Herald says:
The utterance of Mr.. Cleveland in his
inaugural address as to the determine
tion of the administration to preserve
the credit of the government by every
means has been some comfort. Secretary
Carlisle has not committed himself as
to his views, beyond expressing his de-
termination to prevent financial panic
by any means that lie in his power. The
question of issuing bonds will probably
receive the consideration of the presi
dent and his official family at
the first cabinet meeting, which
is expected to occur tomorrow.
The Democrats are divided as to the
necessity of preserving the gold reserve
fund intact. Mr.. Bland voiced the
sentiment of the free silver people
when he asserted that there was no
necessity to keep the reserve fund in
tact. The sound money Democrats of
the East, however, do not agree with
Mr.. Bland in his view of the case. They
think the reserve fund marks the finan-
cial danger line. There is no doubt
that if the treasury department decides
to issue bonds, the step could be taken
without loss Of time, owing to the pre-
limiDary arrangements Secretary Foster
made some weeks ago. He had $50. 000,-
900 of bonds practically placed with
Drexel, Morgan & Co., in England.
Mr.. Harrison's opposition to the issuing
of bonds compelled Mr. Foster to allow
the matter to remain in abeyance.
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1893-03-08

1892 was $l1 ,307, ,S25: the requirements
for 1898 are estimated at SIS, ,693, 900. and
at the end OF the next fiscal year there
will be due the fund little over $780,
100000. The majority also does not con-
cede that the secretary of the treasury
is correct in charging against the fund
Sl6.0O0.000 paid for the redemption Of
national bank notes of banks which
have gone into liquidation. 1t thinks
that such payments should be made out
of current receipts in the treasury.
This would make an estimated amount
due the sinking fund June 30, 1894, of
Sll6,000,000. In conclusion. the major
ity cites Secretary Fosters statement,
that in his opinion there
Would BE a Deficit
at the end of the fiscal year 1894. and
that the receipts of the government
should be increased at once by S50,000,-
600 TO meet treasury conditions as set
forth in his report, and to increase the
gold reserve fund by S25,000,000.
The minority report, which was
drafted by Representative Payne, of
New York, and is signed by all the Re-
publican members of the committee,
says the conclusions from the evidence
presented with the report seem wholly
unwarranted ana misleading. sin fact,
there seems to be All utter lack of eyi
dence to justify any of the criticisms OF
the majority upon the statement OF the
secretary, which showed a surplus in
the treasury on the S0th of June. 1894"
The statements of the secretary, supple
mented by the evidence of the treasury
experts, are evidently of the most con-
servative character. The estimated re-
ceipts are placed at a minimum, while
the estimated expenditures are placed
at a maximum. In conclusion, the mi
nOrity says:
I'VE cannot escape the conclusion
that the majority of the committee have,
whether intentionally or not, put the
worst possible phase upon the condition
of the treasury, overlooking the impor-
tant points in the statement of the sec
retary of the treasury and the experts
examined in arriving at their unwar-
rantable conclusion"

CABINET MEETING.
First Consultation OF the Presi-
dent and His Advisers.


dent and His Advisers.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-The first
meeting of President Cleveland's cab
met was held this afternoon. and lasted
something more than two hours. All
the members were present. Just prior
to the assembling of the new officers in
the cabinet room, Secretary Carlisle
had a talk with the president concern
ing the bond question, and was the first
member Of the cabinet TO arrive at the
White house. Postmaster General Bis
sell came early, with Secretaries Her
bert and Gresham close behind. The
others followed quickly, with the excep-
tiOn of Secretary Norton. who did not
arrive until the cabinet had been in
session nearly an hour. There was no
formalitY or ceremony observed in
opening the meeting. Mr.. Cleveland,
sitting at the head OF the table, started
business in a simple, direct manner.
The session was devoted TO a discussion
OF matters OF curTeDtpuOlic importance.
including Hawaiian annexation and the
financial situation. The greater part of
the time was taken up, however, with
a consideration or the question of ap-
pointments, particularly those of assist
ants to the various cabinet officers. The
necessity for filling these positions
without delay was taken as a Self-eYi-
dent fact, but Mir. Cleveland impressed
upon his official family the necessity of
going slowly in making selections.
MessrS. Lamont, BiSsell and Smith re-
mained for some time after adjournment
discussing matters Of a confidential
character
