the Public's Confidence.
BUFFALO, n. Y, May 5.-Governor
Mckinley, en- route TO Columbus, o.,
from Boston, stopped in this city short
time to-day. In an interview he said:
There is no danger OF a panic, or any
reason for serious alarm. 1t is one oil
the little flurries liable to come upon
the people and an administration at
any time. They come like the
thief in the night. People at times
create a panicky condition of affairs,
when there is really no occasion for it.
The most dangerous part Of 1t all is the
effect il has on the poorer classes.
They grow impatient and take their
money from the savings banks. These
things are always unfortunate, and es'
pecially so when there is no apparent
reason for 1t.
II do not credit this talk about hard
times. This country has too many re-
sources and too much money. Besides
that, the people, irrespective OF party
utilization, have too much confidence in
President Cleveland. They would stand
bv and hold up his hands IN every pos
slole way needed.
"The President and Cabinet are In a
better position TO know the cause and
effects of a stringent money market
than any Of their critics. They have
the means within their grasp of getting
at the true condition Of affairs. If nee
essary he could convene Congress for
the repeal and enactment of such meas
ures as would give any needed relief.
There is no question about acting when
he and his advisors deem it necessary.
In my Judgment, the duty Of the people
at this time is TO continue in the even
tenor Of their way, and all will come out
we'll and right"

Course Upon the President.
SpsciaI TeIsorom to ths REGISTER.
WASHINGTON, d. c., May 5.-Withln
the past few days, owing to the panlcky
feeling prevalent In New YORK and
other large financial centres, many ap-
meals have beeu made to- the President
to call Congress in extra session WIN
out delay In the hope that that pooy
would wipe the Sherman silver pur-
chase law from the statute books ana
devise some substitute more acceptable
TO the fnanciers and business men.
These appeals to the President come
from men Of both parties and were most
urgent in their character. Those VINO
sent them seemed to think the financial
situation so grave that Congress. II
called together, would not be able to
withstand the pressure which wouio Oe
brought to bear on 1t from business
men all over the country who oelieVe
the Sherman law is at the bottom OF
most OF our present troubles. Inc
arguments advanced by the men who
write and telegraph to the President
seem to have made good deal OF an I'M
preston, and 1t is understood the matter
was discussed at the Cabinet meeting,
but after an interchange OF views be-
tween the President and Cabinet, the
conclusion was practically reached
that there was nothing in the
situation which warranted the
President in calling an extra session OF
Congress at q date earlier than that al
ready announced, the first week of Sep
tember. The President and Secretsr y
Carlisle are not inclined to regard the
financial situation as very grave and DO
not think the government needs to con-
cern itself greatly about the trioula-
tions OF Wall street spectators.

necessary. No idea of the extent Of
the extent OF the failure oonld be
learned at the Office until l1:10 a. m,
when Mr.. White made the following
statement TO the press:
The unexpected drop in all securi-
ties has made IL impossible TO realize on
securities or to collect margins 10 meet
my engagements.
rs. V. WHITE"
When seen at his office after this an
nouncement, Mr.. White said: "If you
want TO know the reason of my Suspen-
sion, YOU need only TO look at the tape.
The terrific drop in the market has
used me up and ] was forced TO sus-
pend. l have a large number of out
standing contracts which must be clos
ed out. The drop Ia sugar was one of
the chief causes Of my suspension"
Mr.. White was a large seller OF stock
privileges aud mis- present troubles are
largely due to that. His puts on the
market had been bought right and left
during the present crisis and the rapid
and severe decline in the market has
enabled the purchasers OF his privileges
TO put stocks to him at prices away
above the market.
Mr.. White this morning was unable
10 give q definite idea Of his liabilities,
but said he would make public state
ment in a day Of two.
Mr.. Theodore Havemeyer, Vice Presi-
dent OF the sugar company. states there
was absolutely nothing in the affairs Of
the company that would warrant the
break OF this morning. The company,
he said, had very large surplus and
was a very large loaner Of money.

THE sPECULArORs TO BLAME.
The Financial Situation Not Even Dis
cussed in the Cabinet Meeting.

Cusaed In the CaDlneb ueotAhb.
WASHINGTON, d. c., May 5.-The
panicky condition Of Wall street to-day
which is interesting the officials OF the
Treasury Department, did not, they
said, Immediately concern them, as the
department was unable TO aid the sltua-
tion there. That the trouble was not
seriously thought of is shown by the fact
that Secretary Carlisle only remained at
the Cabinet meeting about fifteen min
utes, and then went TO his home.
The matter was not even discussed.
There is q feeling among Treasury Of
fcials, though they do not openly ex-
press 1t, that Wall street spectators
have brought the present condition up
on themselves and that the government
is not in any way responsible for it. 1t
is said at the Treasury that the time
has passed when the government can
aid Wall street. There was tine
when by purchasing bonds, relief might
have been rendered but that condition
has gone by as the government is not In
a position to take such action. As far
as the Treasury Department was ad-
yised at the close of the business to-day
no gold had been taken from the sub
treasury at New York for export Sat
urdsy. Small offers of gold continues
10 come in and are accepted.
