CARLISLE IN coNFERENcE.
He Talks Over the Gold Situation
With New York Bankers.

New York, April Secretary Car
Isle held a conference this afternoon
after the naval review with number of
New York bank presidents and private
bankers at the house of President Will
Jams Of the Chemical Bank The con-
ference lasted somewhat over an hour
The utmost good feeling was displayed
and the secretary said he was there to
make a frank. free and open
statement of what he believed to be
the financial policy of the government In
the first place the secretary said that an
issue of bonds just at this time might be
an effective remedy, but it would only be
temporary, and that il would be followed
by disadvantages in the money market,
and would, in the end, retard the admin
istratiOn in it's effort to repeal the Sher-
man silver law. The secretary said posi-
lively that there would be no bond issue
except as a last resort. As the secretary
outlined the policy Of the government
it was shown that nothing would be done
that in any way would retard or check
the determination of the Cleveland ad-
ministratiOn concerning the repeal of the
Sherman law. The secretary went over
the currency laws Of the country, and
said that they We're in bad shape and
needed revision.
WHERE REVISION WILL START.
He said revision should start with the
Sherman law. There is a determination
also to show the miners of silver the evil
effects Of the Sherman law in their fort
unes. President CleVeland's advisers
have told him that the only way TO in
duce the western and southwestern
senators and congressman to consent
to the repeal of the Sherman law is
to demonstrate to their constituents that
they are losing money every day that this
law is in operation. Missionary work in
that direction has been started by a mum
her of bankers in the solid communities
of the east. They are daily refusing
credits to the south, southwest and west,
fearing the effects of the Sherman law
Chicago bankers, it was said, are carry
ing out the same line of policy.
Secretary Carlisle, in his talk with the
bankers, made his stand very clear. 1t is
to be heroic treatment all the way through
on the Sherman law, and possibly by the
next session of congress the silver mine
owners and the adhcrents of silver in the
Senate and House will be ready to consent
to the repeal of the law.
The bank presidents, replying to Score
tary Carlisle, cordially informed him that
they would be ready at all times to CO.
operate with him in the successful admin
istration of the financial policy of the
government. Everybody shook hands and
there was harmony all round In the
meantime the secretary continues to re
ceive offers of gold from unexpected
sources.

COLUMBUS TENDERS COLD.
Georgia Bankers Do What They Can
to Help the Treasury.

Columbus, Ga, April 27.-Important
action was taken by the banks of Colum-
bus this morning in the tender of their
entire gold reserve to Secretary Carlisle
The total amount of gold held by the diff
ferent banks is So 900 and its tender is
made upon terms heretofore granted by
the Secretary of the Treasury A tele-
gram to this effect was sent to Secretary
Carlisle this afternoon and a letter with
details followed The following resolu-
ton was adopted:
Resolved, That relying upon the assurance
of President Cleveland and his cabinet that
the government will continue to pay gold for
all bills presented, the associated banks of
Columbus Ca, hereby tender the Secretary
of the Treasury all the gold reserve now held
by them in exchange for legal tender notes,
believing 1t to be the duty of all banks
throughout the country to come forward at
this time and contribute, however little it
may be, to the restoration of the public credit
We have implicit confidence in the integrity
of the President and his advisers, and trust
the ultimate Judgment Of our people to up
hold you in protecting our united interests
from n unstable
