WAsBisGroS. Feb. l0.-Carlisle, within
the last few days, has given much atten-
tion and study TO treasury affairs, &C.
uuainting himself with the business pend
ing In the department which IL likely TO
remain over for solution by the next nd.
ministration. The principal ono Of these
questions is the recent heavy absorption
of gold. lie had lately personal confer
ence with several prominent officials in
tho treasurer's Office. They admitted all
tho theories as to the cause of the outflow
Of gold have been dashed to the wall by
recent events, and said they had stopped
trying 10 find out the reasons, and instead
nrc bending all energies to keep intact
the gold revenue Of sl0o,U0,00o.
Secretary Foster expressed the opinion
that the gold output within the next few
months will not be SO great as IL has been.
Some Of the treasury officials advance tho
opinion that. as the house has refused to
repeal tho Sherman law, gold will cease
to DO exported on the theory that the gold
movement to Europe is intended mainly
to influence legislation.

Cabinet

Cabinet
WASHINGTON. Feb. fO.--Wiih regard tn
the story published this morning to the
effect that Liliuokalnni is willing To ahdi-
cate and withdraw all claims upon the
payment Of indemnify by the United
States, Il may be said that while this gov
ernment, IN the event of it's assuming
charge Of the islands, will doubtless pro-
vide for her and the young princess by an
annuity or otherwise. there will be no pro-
vision made for indemnifying her for any
crown property Of which she may be dis
Possessed by the annexation.
All members of the cabinet were pres
cnt at the meeting to-day. which lasted
nearly an hour. The principal TOPIC dis
cussed was the action of Minister Stevens
In establishing protectorate over the Ha-
waiian islands. Il il not believed that
any dc finite action will be taken approx
ing or disappearing Minister Stevens ac-
tion until the day before tho departure OF
the next steamer for tho islands, the lash
instant.
Secretary OF State Foster has intimatctl
that the government had plenty Of time
| to act i'm deliberate manner. and while
approval or disapprovai of Stevens action
Is necessary, yet IN view OF the impossi
bility of reaching him otherwise than b,
mail communication, immediate action
in the premises is not deemed ncccs'
sary.
