Her five-year-old boy was playing about

WASHINGTON, April 26.-The Presi-
dent to-day designated Assistant Secre-
tary Hamlin to act as Secretary of the
Treasury in the absence of Secretary
Carlisle, who leaves this afternoon with
the President and other members of the
Cabinet for New York, to be absent one
week. Hamlin had a conference with
Carlisle this morning, and was made ac-
quainted with the general policy of the
Treasury Department.. especially as re-
CARDS the gold question.
The situation to-day shows an improve
ment. Gold in small quantities was Of
fered this morning from several points
and accepted. The policy of the Treasury
will be to accept all the gold offered, un-
less the conditions imposed are disadvan-
tageous to the Government.
The President and Secretary Carlisle
show by their action in leaving the Capt.
tai at this time, palmer than words can
make it, their entire confidence in the
financial situation.
Gold will be paid out as demanded for
Treasury notes, without inquiring
whether the gold reserve is thereby in
yaded or kept intact. 1t has been prac-
tically been turned into available Treas
ury cash since the Presidents announce
ment that gold would be paid for all
Treasury notes.
Carlisle said this morning there was
nothing new to say of the situation, ex-
cept that he was daily receiving offers OF
gold, which he is accepting.
WALL STREET ANXIOUS.
NEW YORK, April 26.-There is much
anxious talk on Wall street to-day over
the uncertainty in the financial situation.
The absence of definite knowledge as to
the intentions of the Government among
people who ought to be well informed,
and usually are, is regarded as remarka-
BILE. Even strong sympathizers with the
Administration express surprise at the
seeming lack of interest of officials in
Washington concerning the business
affairs OF the country. One gentleman,
said to be in a position to speak with
considerable authority, is quoted by the
Wall-street news agencies as saying:
1.-The fact is the Inen who control the
gold do not have confidence in the ability
of the present Government officials to
master the situation. The advisers of
those at the head of the Government are
not all to the liking of these capitalists.
They consider them unsafe and therefore
do not want to risk their gold out of their
control. The fact that so far the Admin
istration is in trying circumstances
shows there is no financial policy at all
beyond the declarations of mere desire
to do this and that, which simply adds
to the uncertainty and makes the busi-
ness man very apprehensive as to the
future"

NEW York. April -Sub-Treasurer
Jordan received word to-day that Secre-
