TOUCHED HIS GOLD.
Carlisle Keeps Up the
Struggle.
BUT THE RESERVE VANIsHEs.
A Long Cabinet Session at Which the
Only Topic Discussed Was the
Financial Situation.
Special to The MORNING CALL

WASHINGTON. April 21.-At Cabinet
meeting this morning. at which all of the
members were present with the exception
of Secretary Herbert OF the Navy Depart
ment. the financial situation. il is uuder-
stood. was the almost exclusive topic of
discussion. The meeting lasted for two
hours and half and was the longest ses-
sion of the Cabinet s!dce the new admins
tratiOn came into power.
When the Treasury Department closed
its doors this afternoon the gold reserve of
100000, coo had been invaded TO the extent
Of from 81, 100000 TO SIS, 600, 900. When the
day opened there was in the treasury
S1S5,00 of free gold. This amount was in
creased by gold offers from the West agGrc-
eating about 81, $50 coo, but the large with
drawals of gold for shipment from New
York cut this down to such an extent that
when the Cabinet met Secretary Carlisle
found that the orders for gold up to that
time, at about O'Clock, had wiped out the
free gold and invaded the gold reserve TO
the extentof s., 557, coo.
As far as it can be officially ascertained,
this was the amount taken out of the gold
reserve to-day for export tomorrow, al
though 1t is unOtiicially stated that $1,000
in gold, exclusive of that taken out at New
York, was withdrawn from the Sub-Treas-
ury at Boston for export to Canada. If so,
this would make about So COO, coo in gold
taken out Of the country for shipment to-
morrow, and would leave the gold reserve
invaded TO the extent Of S3.O00,OOO, or leav-
ing total gold In the treasury S97000,O OOO. II
is believed that this invasion is only tenn
porary, and that within a few days the de-
pleted reserve will be restored to the origl-
nal figure, $4,000, 600.
While nothing official can be obtained
here as to tile decision Of the Treasury De-
partment in regard to the payment in gold
Of treasury notes of 1890 the fact that these
notes are being paid in gold upon presenta-
ton proves ccnclusivelY that they will, for
the present at least, be redeemed as hereto
fore. The construction placed upon Secre-
iaTy Carlisle's statement given to the press
last night was that when he reached the
limit of the gold reserve he would exercise
his discretion and pay this class Of notes
when presented for redemption in silver.
To this extent only are the occurrences of
to-day surprise, for had it been CarlIsle's
intention to pay these notes in silver, this
would have been the time to do it. when the
gold reserve was actually invaded AS
matter OF fact no dis osition was shown to
pay the notes in other than gold.
II can be stated with positiveness that
there was no disagreement on the financial
situation between the President and Secre-
tsry Carlisle or among the members Of the
Cabinet.

WANT THE ARID LAND.
The Stockmen Are Not Backward in
Stating Their Desires.

OGDEN, Utah, April 2l.-The second day
OF the lntermOuntain Stock-growers' Asso-
ciali0D proved the last. A set of resolu-
tons was Introduced during the afternoon
reclting that in the western half OF the
United States there were, exclusive of min
eral and agricultural lands, 1000. 900
square miles Of arid, mountain and desert
land, the greater part of which was yet
owned by the Government; that under the
present laws on hOmeSteadng the Govern
nent derives no revenue from this arid
belt; that said lands are only useful for
stOck-raising; that constant strife aud some
boodshed result from crowded pastures
and from the inability of stockmen to Sc
cure property rights over the lands used,
and under these circumstances Congress is
asked to cede the arid lands to the several
States and Territories, making necessary
re trictions for the reservation of mining
and fertile lands. The resolutions also IA
vor the admission of the Territories TO the
Union at the earliest practicable moment, a
free and unlimited coinage of silver and the
harmonizing of the sheep and cattle inter-
ests.
The officers elected for the ensuing year
are: Orlando North of Nevada. president.
and X. l.. Armstrong of Ogden, Utah, sec
retary. The next meeting of the conven-
tiOn 1t was decided will be held here year
hence, and the convention then adjourned.

HOLDS THE RECORD
Grover Cleveland as an
Axman.
ALL REPUBLICANS MUST Go.
No Pres ident Since the Time of Grant
Has Made so Many Removals
From Office.
Special to THE MoRN1xe CALL.

WASHINGTON, April 21-President Cleve-
land has made more changes up to to-day
than ne did eight years ago, after the same
time spent at he White House. According
10 some authorities he has made more than
any executive since Grant. The work goes
steadily on. moreover. from the highest to
TIE lowest class of ofice-holders. Ninety
hVe fUurth-class pOst'nasters were appointed
To-Day. Of these eghty-fuur were To fill
vacancies occasioned by death and resgua-
tiOns.
Nut as to the methods which are to be
pursued by the present administration with
regard to the appointment to fuurh-class
postofhces is given in the experience OF Con-
gressman-eeet Conn of Indiana. He went
through his district before coming to Wash
lngton and fixed up his nominations to the
minor postofiices. In some places he held
elections TO decide upon the most popular
man, and in other localities this was un-
necessary. A week or so ago Conn called
upon Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Maxwell and presented q list of filty-four
fourth-claSs pOstmasters whom he desired
to have appointed.
i supnose there will be no trouble about
having these appointments made" said he.
Wei" replied General Maxwell, "they
will be considered in the ordinary course of
business"
linen my recommendation will not be
sufficient for the purpose ?" asked Mr.. Conn.
1T is customary to file petition with
each application" was the reply.
Then l will withdraw the whole list"
answered Mr.. Conn.
He did so, and since then has been send
ing through the Postoffice Department a
quantity of applications from Tom, Dick
and Harry in his district, asking for the Of
hees Last night General Maxwell called
npon Congressman Coun, and told him that
IL he would again file his list of fifty-four
Postmasters they would be appointed. The
outside pressure has been too great for him

artificial restriction that could be placed
upon the export of gold would mend matters
in the least or check the outflow. We are
simply coming TO a silver basis in the nat
ural course of events, and If tie present
mode of financiering continues we will soon
have no gold in the country, but we Will
have plenty of silver"
In fact. Secretary Carlisle's statement on
the gold situation was the subject of general
conversation on Wall street this afternoon
1t is not favorably received on the ground
that it was felt TO be indefinite. Most of the
bankers expressed themselves as unable to
comprehend the Secretary's intention with
reference to treasury notes.
j. Edward Simmons. president of the
Fourth National Bank, said: "Mr. Carlisle
has announced no policy. His words mean
nothing so far as the situation Of the ques-
tion IS concerned. Some of the foreign eX-
change dealers are again allowing premium
OF one-eighth of per cent tn those paying
for their remittances in gold"
Russell Sage said: 81 believe that il the
people do not lose their heads we shall
weather the storm, and that the currency
question will eventually be arranged salts
tactorily 1t is a pity, however, that Secre-
tary Carlisle does not take a bold stand
upon the subject and give us an idea of
what he intends to do"
At the Sub-Treasury it was ascertained
that S2,0O0,00O in treasury notes were de-
posted against the withdrawal of an equal
amount In gold. OF these notes S50O.O0
were treasury notes and the remainder gold
certificates and United States notes.
Cashier Muhlemann of the Sub b-Treasury
has not received any word from Washing
ton TO make a change in the method Of
receiving payment for gold.
The last Commercial Advertiser printed a
sensational Washington special to the effect
that Carlisle and the President had a quar-
rel at to-day's Cabinet meeting and that
Carlisle had eslgned because the President
opposed his policy. The story was not
verified. however, and later it was unquali-
fiedly denied

NO JUSTICE FOR GRINdos.
Trials of an American in a Mexican
IaiI

Ell PAso. Tex. AprI 21.-The story of
an outrage by the Mexican authorities has
just been brought to light by the release
from prison Of L. Z. Scanand. a much
respected military officer lie was confined
in the prison at Juarez for thirty-two DAYS
on charge which the Supreme Court of
Chihuahua twice decided was utterly base
less.
The real prosecutor in the case against
Scanand appears to have been Ignacio Con-
zales. Judge of the First Minor Court. Mich
olas Yunjo, lawyer and part owner of the
Florence mine. in the Sabinal District, had
Scanlsnd arrested on a charge Of stealing
fourteen tons Of ore from the mine. The ore
had been bought by Scanland from W. A.
Clark. who was superintendent for Yunio
during the latter's absence. Clark was
fleeced by card sharpers and fled from
Mexico. Yunjo decided 10 get even by
having Scanland arrested. Gonzales is a
friend of Yunjn and held Scanand,
although the latter's lawyer took tile case
tc the Supreme Court and had it twice
dismissed.
During Scanland's Imprisonment he was
approached by a supposed agent OF Yunjo,
who offered to get him free for $500 This
was refused, and the prisoner lay in jail
until Gonzales was forced to release him.
w. a. Daley, prominent citizen of Ell
Paso. was also held in jail for SOME time by
Gonzales as a witness, and was much exer-
cised over the affair

STEVENS FEELS HURT.
But the Administration Thinks it Can
Do Without Him.

WASHINGTON. April PA private letter
received here to-day from a member of the
family of Minister Stevens brings the in
formation that the Minister, with his wife
and daughter, will leave Honolulu May "a.
The letter referred to shows that the Stew
ems family feels keenly the revocation of
the Minister'S act in regard to the holsting
of the flag, and predictions are made OF all
sorts OF dire distress as result Stevens
had, according to his letter. made arrange
ments to depart on that date before he knew
BlOunt was to be sent to the islands.
At the State Department it is said that no
decision has yet been reached as TO Stevens
successor, but that will not interfere with
Stevens leaving Hawaii at the time he
wishes. With Blount in control the admin
istration feels that it can get along without
a Minister If it becomes necessary.
1t is expected, however, that the appoint
ment of a new Miuister to Hawaii will be
among the first decided upon after the
President returns from his Worlds Fair
trip.
Secretary Gresham has received report
from Commissioner Blount of his action at

There Will Be General Strike in the
Building Trades.

BUFFALO, April 21.-Buiiders and con-
tractors are uneasy over the signs Of dis
content in the labor organizations. From
surface appearances there is going 10 be a
general strike in the building trades
unions, unless the demands of the plaste
bricklayers and stonemasons are granted.
All the plasterers, except forty, are on
strike for So 80 a day, an advance of so
cents. The brickayers and masous struck
for eight hours day with their present
wages. So so. The carpenters are talking
of demanding higher wages, and unless the
bosses and employees get together and settle
their differences, there Is likely to be a

RUSSIA AGREES.
The New Extradition Treaty Has Been

The exchange of ratifcatlons leaves now
only one more step to be taken to put the

that IS the official proclamation by Presi-

issued in short time, probably upon the
