BELFAST, April 25.-To all out

Unionist leaders publicly condemn
the rioting, and the members of

Grand Master Kane has issued a

Net Gold In the Treasury.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Net gold
in the treasury this morning is over
and above $1OO,O00,0OO; the gold re-
serve is $9O0,0OO This accounts for
the gold taken from the New York
sub-treasury for export today and
accepted from Borton bankers. It
does not, however, include the gold
which was offered to the govern
ment from San Francisco and Roam
oke, Va; these amounts will appear
in the Treasury figures when the
actual exchange is made. Secre-
tary Carlisle is much encouraged
at what he terms the "patriotit
position taken by the Boston banks.
He took over with him to the
Cabinet meeting this morning {
bundle of papers, presumably
bearing on the conference of thu
New York bankers with Assistan
Treasurer Jordan, In an incom
| plete condition the Secretary dit
not deem it prudent to express hi
opinion in the matter.

ready to do its full duty. At the
first intimation short time back
that their services might be neoes-
sary, every member responded to
the call, and they have been prompt
in nightly drills ever since.
That the people of James City
have stubbornly held out against
the execution of the law by ordi-
nary process until this point is
reached is q reproach not only to
their character as citizens but to
their intelligence likewise.
The colored population of this
section are peaceably disposed, but
their action in James City by openly
defying the law and assembling in
a number of upwards of thousand
at given signal at the approach of
the sheriff to execute the law shows
them as law-defying people. The
good people of Craven county much
preferred an amicable settlement,
as did Mr.. Bryan, and a great deal
of time was granted in hope that
such terms might be reached, but
to no avail, and as a result, they are
forced to yield only at the point oi
the bayonet.
Matters have reached this point
from no desire of the sheriff. HI
did everything in his power to avoid
| it, and when forced upon in the WAY
it was, he was not only perfectl,
justifable in what he did but it wa
the only course left open to him.
The people said at one time, that
while they would not pay rent o.
move, they would submit to election
! but their action whenever tn;
} sheriff went over with poss,
J plainly belied their words. Thougl
they were polite to the sheriff h m
self, their gathering en- masse a
/ the ringing of bell, plainly pre-
concerted signal (even those in thi
city dropping their employment
instantly and rushing over to joi
the crowd) and then giving tn
sheriffs deputies to understand tha
: whoever entered house would d
: so at the peril of his life was a
7 palpable resistance as was neces
: sary-the violence did not have
r be applied to make it so-and tn
: action on their part left nothing
\ do if bloodshed was to be avoide
9 but to come upon them with a
overpowering force.

THE GOLD MATTER.
THE CUES TION BEFORE THE
CABINET.
Secretary Carlisle Brings Up the Propo.
sition of the New YORK Bankers.
By Southern Associsted Press.

By Southern Associated Press
WAsH1NeroN, April 25.-At cabi-
net meeting this afternoon Secre-
tary Carlisle brought up the propo-
sition of the New York bankers to
supply, under certain conditions,
the Treasury Department with gold.
It was very thoroughly discussed
and finally rejected. What this
proposition was is not known,
whereas Secretary Carlisle declined
to make it's terms public. It was
not, however. considered advant-
agsous to the government. This
| was the elimination of several prop.
ositions submitted, one of which was
declined last Saturday. A counter
proposition was then made by the
bankers to the Secretary of the
Treasury which was received last
Monday. This was also rejected,
and in turn the Secretary submitted
the proposition to them, which they
also refused to accept. All nego.
tiations therefor between the Treas
ury Department and the New Yorl
bankers are off at least for the pres
ent, and Secretary Carlisle will lool
in other directions to continue to
replete the Treasury with gold
The administration does not desire
to issue bonds and will not do 81
except as last resort. That time
in their opinion, has not yet arrived
and if their efforts to obtain golt
are successful, it will not soon b.
reached. Representative Wise, o
Virginia, called on the Presiden
this morning and presented peti
ton signed by the bankers an
business men of Richmond, askin,
the President to issue bonds to re
, lieve the financial situation. Th
, President received the petition bu
, | gave no indication Of what his pul
| pose will be in the direction follow
ing the suggestion made therein.

DISCOVERY OF SYRIAC GOSPELS

How the Palimpsest Was Found in the
Monastery at Mount Sinai.
The New York Herald says:
Through the courtesy of Rev. Dr.
William Hayes Ward, of the Inde-
pendent, the Herald is able today
to give the story of the finding of
the palimpsest OF the Syriac Gaspels
in the convent library on Mount
Sinai last winter.
Mrs. Lewis, friend of English
scholars, was the lucky discoverer,
Mrs Lewis, it seems, was desirous
of, exploring the many valuable
m anuscripts in the monastery
library at Mount Sinai. She OBJ
taired letter OF introduction from
Prof. J. Rendel Harris, of Cambridge
| University, En- glish, who had made
several trips to Mount Sinai and
was we'll acquainted with the monks
there
Armed with the introduction.
Mrs. Lewis and her sister went to
the monastery. Being thorough
Greek scholars they soon ingrati-
ated themselves into the good will
of the monks there and were allow
ed perfect freedom in the m onaster y
library. 1t was while thus search.
ing for curiosities that Mrs Lewis
came across the palimpsest The
leaves were stuck together and
generally decayed, but by means Of
steam the leaves were separated
Mrs. Lewis at once recognized the
Curetan Gospel beneath the heavy
writing. She made about foul
numbered photographs, and hssteh
| ed to return to England with hel
discovery.
| There the Identification was con.
frmed by Professors Harris, Bensley
and Burkitt by aid of the photo
graphs. The Gospels will be edited
by Mrs. Lewis, with the help o
Professors Harris, Bensley ant
Burkitt. The latter gentlemen
have been for some weeks in Sina
Monastery studying the manuscript
The Gospels stand in the orde

colophon to John intimates tina

Another Outrage In Smoky Hollow.
Durham, n. c., April 25.-Spe-
ciaL-Last night Mack Jeans, q
clerk in store at this place, while
in a house of i'll fame at Smoky
Hollow, was struck on the head with
hatchet by John Lee, and seri-
ously if not fatally injured. Today
Jeans condition is slightly i'm
proved, but there is good deal Of
doubt as to his ultimate complete
recovery, as his skull for space of
two inches square is badly crushed
in. Affairs of this nature are be-
coming very frequent at Smoky
Hollow, and the justly indignant
citizens of Durham seem deter.
mined that its disreputable popula.
ton must leave.
