CLEVELAND AND CARLISLE.
Differences Between the President that Is
and the Man that Wants To Be.

New YORK, April 21.-A Washington
despatch to the Press says: President
Cleveland and Secretary Carlise this
week reached point in their relations
OF absolute disagreement. They have
come to the place where the autocrat of
the White House says ''you shalr' and
the insubordinate Secretary of the Treas
ury defiantly replies 81 won't.n Mr..
Carlisle financial statement tonight in
| dlcates that threatened disrupting of the
yield.
President Cleveland has called to the
White House several times this week
Secretary Carlisle, and has said to him in
substance and in the most positive terms:
Il have decided that the Treasury De-
partment must issue bonds, and more
over large amount of them In my
| opinion that step is essential to maintain
the gold reserve, and it is also my opin-
ion that to encroach upon that reserve
would mean financial Disaster
10 this Imperative announcement Mr..
Carlisle has invariably replied, in effect:
Mr. President, do not believe either
in the necessity of issuing bonds or that
l have the legal authority to do so. If
| you order bonds to be issued they must
M De issued Dy another Secretary of the
Treasury
The announcement that the differing
policies of Cleveland and Carlisle con-
fronted each other to the extent of an
actual demand and an actual refusal.
with the underlying possibility of an
open rupture, is made upon the authority
OF gentleman in public life, who de-
rived his information directly from both
the President and the Secretary of the
Treasury. a5s,
The reason assigned for Secretary Car
Ellsle's determined opposition to an issue
OF bonds sheds some light on recent
political history. Mr.. Carlisle only; con-
sented to resign from the Senate and to
enter the cabinet after reaching an in
definite agreement, during his conference
with Mr.. Cleveland at Lakewood.7 that
this administration would throw its in
fiuence in the direction, at least SO long
as the conditions should be auspicious. Of
making Mr.. Carlisle the next candidate
OF the Democratic party for the Presi-
dency.
It is Mr.. Carlisle's opinion, entirely
aside from any question as to his author
ity under the resumption act, that to is
sue bonds would make it simply impos-
sible for him to become candidate be-
fore the people. He would be held re-
| sponsible, as Secretary of the
Treasury, for the first increase of the
interest bearing public debt since Appo-
matox.
The disagreement between the Presi-
dent and Secretary Carlisle as to the is
sue of bonds has extended it is now
said, to other members of the Cabinet.
MI. Carlisle's position is said to have re-.
ceived the support of Messrs. Olney.
Gresham and Morton,
tits now inferred, from .the fact that
Mr.. Carlisle he officially announced his
policy, that these Cabinet disagreements
have been smoothed over, and that Mr..
Carlisle's determined stand has induced
the President to allow him to have his
own way, at least for the present.
Small Arms Board.
WASHINGTON, April 21.-Inventors
and manufacturers interested in small
magazine arms are urging Secretary La

now in session in Springfield, Mass, test

the exception of Col. Otis, is composed
of the Same officers who last year rec
commended the adoption of the Kraig-
Jorgensen gun. Those dissatisfied with
the board say it will naturally be inclined
to do all it can in support of that gun.
The matter is being considered bv the
department.
