Up TO the hour Of the meeting of the
Cabinet to-day Paul Neuman, the Queens
envoy TO the United States, had not called
at the State Department 10 see Secretary
Foster, and the latter had received no
explanation from him for the failure TO
keep his engagement made last night.
Inquiries at the hotel for Neuman by
representatives Of the press were met by
the statement that he was not IN.
why Neuman Was Absent.
WASHINGTON, Feb 21.-This after
noon Paul Neuman envoy of the Ia
waiian Queen. called At the State Depart
ment, and explained TO Secretary Foster
why he had failed to meet that official
last night, according to the notification
given him at the State Department last
Friday. 1t appears from Mr.. Neuman's
statement that the card giving the ad-
dress Of the Secretary's temporary resi-
dence misled him, and he failed TO fnd
the place Recourse TO the directory gave
him Mr.. Fosters regular place Of resi-
dence. which Is now closed.

NOT TO ISSUE BONDS.
The Decision Believed to Have Been
Kench ed by the Cabinet.

DtN'titu ny tiit NaotHtfs
WASHINGTON, Feb 2l.-The question
Of issuing bonds TO keep intact the gold
reserve in the Treasury was discussed by
the President and his Cabinet at the
meeting held this morning. The result
Of the conference is stated on good au
thority TO have been d decision not to
issue bonds at this time
1t cannot be learned that any alterna-
tive course Of action was decided upon by
the Cabinet in case the free gold in the
Treasury became exhausted. The feeling
seemed TO be that the emergency should
not be met before 1t actually arrived. 1t
is said that President Harrison is con-
WINGED that no necessity will arise for
the sale of bonds to maintain the parity
Of the two metals. He has repeatedly
declared that he will maintain that parity
by every means in his power. This con-
VictOn is said TO be based upon his obser-
vance Of the fact that while he was on
his hunting trip at Benjies there was
subsistence Of the talk about issuing bonds
which We renewed Immediately upon his
return. The President is credited with
the belief that the demand for gold for
export is not only artificial. but that it
is part Of a scheme, international in its
scope. having for its object the issue Of
bonds. When IL becomes apparent that
no bonds viii be issued his opinion is
said 10 be that heavy drafts upon the
Treasury gold will cease

A Hitter Labor Sfrnggie.

EVANSVILLE, IND. FEB. PA bitter
struggle between the Evansville Foundry
Association, Indiana Stove Works, Kie-
chile Brentano, Obendorfer & Kahn and
NIyerhoff K co. and their moulders, some
800 In number, has been inaugurated.
Questions have frequently arisen between
the employers and their men, and several
small strikes have occurred, although In
each instance the men have been induced
to return to work. Recently strike was
threatened and the foundry men feared
10 take any orders. lest they SHOULD be
unable to fll them. The various foun-
drymen united under the name OF the
Manufacturers Association, and sent a
letter 10 the Moulders' Union requesting
immediate arbitration. No reply was
given to the request, so the manufac
turers agreed yesterday TO close their
foundries, and lock their men out. The
move was unexpected. but the men say
they will win. The manufacturers de-
clare otherwise.

In view Of this statement, Mr.. Morse

the motion was voted down.
At / A. VI. the monotony Of the pro-
ceedings Of the House was broken by a
personal controversy between Watson.
Of Georgia. Cummings, Of New York.
and Richardson, OF Tennessee, growing
out OF Watson's criticism Of railroad

Richardson resented what he regarded
as n reflection upon himself and read

ter Of the bill.
Al A. NJ. there is no prospect for an
early ADJOURNMENT. and the House has

PITTSBURG, PA, Feb. A.-The mnnlc-
ipal election in Pittsburg was probably
never so hotly contested as to-day. The
contests were between the politicians on
the one hand, who have controlled the
city government for twenty-five years
and the Democrats and citizens on fhe
other. Firemen and police officers nave
been working at the polls all day In the
interest OF the politicians ticket. AS
result. when an alarm Of lire was turned
in this morning, there were not enough
dremen on duty 20 combat the conhagra-
ton. one building was destroyed almost
without an effort 10 save It. In the
Twelfth ward the ballots were stolen ana
not recovered for three hours after the
polls opened. The ward is largely Demo-
cratic The assistant chief Of the fire de-
p1rtment, who has voted for seventeen
years. was challenged on naturalization
papers, and was unable 10 produce them.
Charges of fraud are heard in almost
every ward in the city. The contest can

election in Allegheny City Is quiet, there
being practically no contest
