REJECTED BY THE CABINET.
The New York Scheme of No Advantage
to Uncle sam.

to Uncle sam.
WASHINGTON, April 26.-At the cabinet
meeting Secretary Carlisle brought up the
proposition of the New York bankers to
supply under certain conditions the treas
ury department. with gold. It was very
thoroughly discussed and finally rejected.
1t was not considered advantageous to the
government This was the elimination of
several propositions submitted. All nego-
tiations therefore between the treasury
department and the New York bankers
are off, at least for the present, and Secre-
tary Carlisle will look in other directions
for gold.
Representative Wise, of Virginia, called
ON the president and presented petition
signed by bankers and business menNof
Richmond asking the president to issue
bonds to relieve the financial situation.
The president received the petition, but
gave no indication of what his purpose will
be in the direction of following the sugges-
tions made therein.
The free gold balance is now in a health
Ter condition than for some days, and for
eign advices are that the European demand
has abated and will not revive for a week
at least. Secretary Carlisle says that he
has accepted offers of nearly 5000 900 in
gold but the expectation that the free
cold would be $40 000, 900 by the end of the
week has been abandoned, owing to the
failure so far of the New York negotia-
tons. The treasury says that the New
York statement of the propositions that
were exchanged with the bankers there is
not correct, but will not say what the
propositions were.
A fact not generally known in connec-
ton with the greenback gold reserve is al
legged by Representative o. NJ. Hall, of the
Third Minnesota district SAs. q, patter OF

 brought to this city late this afternoon
 and locked up in the jail in default of

The Schulman-Biumstefn Case Goes . 0ver-Attorney Goodhart for the Defendant Filed a Plea in Abate- ment in Which a Nice Legal Point is Involved.
 Isaac Blumstein, Congress avenue den tist, was brought for trial yesterday before Justice of the Peace Philip Pond, 2d, on a charge of bsstsrdy, brought against him by Rosa Schulman, former housekeeper. At the opening of the trial Attorney Good hart, who appears for the accused, filed plea in abatement, and pending a decision upon 1t the case was continued for one week.
 The ground set up by the plea of abate- ment is that the suit has not been properly brought, because the complaint was sworn to and issued by Attorney Louis E. Jacobs, acting as justice of the peace, who is al'o attorney for the complainant.
 The point raised by Attorney Goodhart and one which has never been raised be- fore is that such action is in violation of the statutes. Justice Pond decided to hold the matter under advisement and contin- ued the case until next Friday.
 ! The plaintiff in the case alleges that Blumstein promised to marry her last May, and recently when she demanded that he fulfill his promise in order to keep her from disgrace, he became exceedingly angry at her and put her out of his house, She also alleges that along in the first part of July Dr. Blumstein, having been made aware of her condition, took her to Dr. A Browns office at 1855 Olive street, where ar operation was performed by the doctor
 which, however, did not accomplish tht
 result desired by both hereelf and Dr.
 Blumstein. She made another appoint
 ment to meet the doctor @ little over two
 weeks ago, and on going to the dootor'
 office found that he was not in
 Later she learned that he was in New

 should marry her. He, becoming fright
