THE TREASURY GOLD.
A Belief That the Department Will BE Able
to Meet Fridays Demand.

Only a grave emergency will change the
present financial policy of the government
and each day the officials of the Treasury De-
partment gain more confidence in the
situation Yesterday afternoon the Secretary
received some gold from Philadelphia, whic h
is the first offer that the east has made TO AID
also obtained from Chicago. This enlarge
ment of the free gold and the usual daily
increase makes the condition even more
easy than it was yesterday. This, coupled
with the belief that the order for gold on
Friday to be shipped by Saturdays steamer
will not be very large. leads to the impression
that the depsr tment will be able to meet the
demand for this week. The exact amount OF
free gold that the department has is zealously
guarded by the officials, but a close calculation
would indicate that today there is about $780,
600 on hand.
At the treasury it was emphaticaIly denied
that any order has yet been issued to stop the
redemption in gold Of the treasury notes of
1890 and the statement was made that abso-
luteiv nothing would be done until the
emergency arrived. II any action has
been taken it is probably in the form of letter
OF warning of a personal character to the as
slstant treasurer in New York informing him
what the policy of the treasury will be in case
the free gold entirely disappears, but which
might be nsed as an order if necessary
1t Is believed that so far possible the west
ern bankers will come to the aid of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury and supply him with suf-
fcient gold to meet the present demand.
The issuance of bonds would probably be the
last method that the Secretary would turn to if
a crisis should arrive. The policy of the de-
partment would likely be, first the stop
ping OF the gold payment on the treasury
notes: second. the use to a certain extent of
the gold reserve and finally the bond issue. II
this last course was finally reached it is thought
that they would not be disposed of on this
side of the water. as this would only
bring a temporary relief. In this connec-
tion the visit of J. Pierpont Morgan to this
city just before his departure for Europe and
his consultation with Mr. Carlisle becomes IN
teresting. At the time it was stated in The
STAR that if Mr. Morgan had any mission to
perform for this country it was probably the
arrangement for the disposition in foreign
countries of the bonds in they we're issued.
This belief is now strengthened.
The interest of the west in the present condi-
tion is increased by the statement ma lie credit
ing the Sherman law with the onus tor the loss
of gold. If the future should demonstrate this
to be fact the cause OF free silver would be in
jured, and the chances for the repeal of the
silver law Of 80 in the next Congress would
be- increased

BRAZIL AND SPAIN,
Tho Reciprocity Arrangements Under the
Mckinley Act to BE Terminated.

Tho Reciprocity Arrangements Under the
Mckinley Act to Be Terminated.
The investigation into the working of the
several reciprocal trade arrangements entered
into by the United States with Central and
South American countries and with Spain for
Cuba and Porto Rico, under the pro-
visions Of the Mckinley act, which Secre-
tary Gresham instituted immediately upon as
suming the duties Of his Office. it is reported
has led to a determination by President Cleve-
land to terminate the arrangements with
Brazil and with Spain for Cuba and Porto
Rico. Inquiry at the State Department de-
velops the fact that the arrangements had not
yet been terminated.
1t cannot be ascertained that this reported
action is part Of policy Of the administration
to abandon reciprocity. On the contrary, the re-
suit OF inquiries tends to prove that il any such
action has been or will be taken with regard to
Brazil and Spain it will be due to special and
local causes. Complaints are said TO have been
received from persons doing business with
Cuba and Porto Rico that the local
officials in those islands do not
cal arrangement, insisting upon the collection
Of . practically prohibitive duty upon articles
entitled to admission free OF duty under the terms
Of the convention. Some complaint Is also made
OF Brazil In this direction, but TO not nearly 30
great an extent - with regard to the islands.

nation on three months notice by either psrty:

ment Of the sxscutivs power Of The two coun-
tries.

ANOTHER SETBACK,
The President Takes Adverse Action in the
Case OF Pay inspector Stexenson

Inc PRESIDENT 1akes Adverse Action In the
Case Of Pay Inspector Stevenson.
The President has disapproved the findings
of the examining board in the case of Paw In
spector John II. Stevenson, United States
navy. The board reported in favor of Mr.
Stevenson's promotion, but the report was re-
ferred to President Harrison with the recon-
mendation of Secretary Tracy that it be not
approved on the alleged ground that the
officer morally unfit for promotion.
The importance of the case arises from the fact
that Mr.. Stevenson is at the head Of bis grade
and that promotions all along the line we're
blocked by failure to act in the matter.
The case reached President Harrison in the
last days of his administration and he did not
have time to consider it and its disposition was
left to President Cleveland. He acted upon it
Yesterday and the papers were returned 10 the
War Department bearing his approval
of Secretary Tracy's Recommendation against
the officers promotion. This action continues
the block to promotion Of other officers in the
pay corps Further action in the case will rest
with Secretary Herbert and the impression is
that MIR. Stevenson will be subjected to another
examination.

Result OF the Local Elections Throughout

CHICAGO. April Ia-The elections through
out Illinois yesterday were mainly on the saloon
and aati-saloon question and the ''xets" had
the best OF 1t in the state as whole. In sew
eral places, however. the strife was between the
two political PARTIES, though these places are SO
few as TO make an estimate of the state a very
doubtful affair. Galeua went democratic

sohcly republican, as did Belyidere Minonk
going democratic. Freeport has a new repub-

as An appropriation of Q specific amount
Of money, devoted to certain purposes,
and TO be expended by the worlds fair
commission under the conditions stated IN

opinion. The expenses Of the bureau of
awards are to be paid out OF this APP
preparation and not out Of the s2,50O,
coo provided by the act of August s.
1892, Of which last named sum an amount
equal to this appropriation is, in my
opinion. in the default of security BY the world
Columbian exposition. to be retained in the
treasury, and by subsequent legislation
or proper proceedings to be covered
back into the treasury for the benefit of
the government and to recompense
the government to the extent of the actual

ON THE WAR PATH.

Word has just reacneu Woodward
in Oklahoma Territory, by courier,
that a company Of United States
troops has started from Ft, Smith
to head off band of Indians who are
making for Cheyenne, forty-fve miles
west of there to wreak vengeance on
one Tom O'Hara for killing one of
their tribe. The Indians are under a
fierce Cheyenne chief and number 80
men. The Sheriff of Cheyenne coun-
ty has O'Hsra under his charge, has
organized a posse of 25 heavily armed
men and is equally determined that no
harm shall befaIl the prisoner. AS the
Indians have good start on the
troops it is feared however that many
innocent whites may suffer before the
troops can arrive. 0'Hara is Texas
ranger, and while in search of cattle
thieves supposed to be hiding in
Cheyenne county he got in a dispute
with a band of Cheyennes, which re-
suited in his shooting and killing an
Indian named Red Moon. O'Hara
escaped to town and now is in jail.
