THE GOLD SITUATION.

A Balance Over the Reserve is Again In
the Treasury.
WASHINGTON, April 2S.-"We have 4
small balance over the gold reserve and
offers of more gold are being received.
That is all there is to the financial situa-
tion to-day"
This was the statement late Thurs
day afternoon of Acting Secretary OF
the Treasury Hamlin, and it gives in a
nutshell the status of financial affairs.
For the time being the center of fnan-
cial activity is moved from the national
capital to New York, where Mr.. Cleve-
land and Mr.. Carlisle are within reach
of the New York bankers, who will un-
doubtedly secure the conference they
have so ardently sought.

nothing gave indication that there had

lin, the acting secretary, is probably the
youngest man to occupy such a position
since the days of Alexander Hamilton.
He has Just entered the thirties. Next
to him in authority is Assistant Secre'
tary Curtis, who is also in the thirties
while Mr.. Eckels, the controller of the
currency, is the third leading official Of
the treasury not over thirty-five years
of age. Aside from the youthfulness OF
the men at the helm, they had little OF
no previous experience in governmental
financial affairs. This in itself indicates
the serenity of the administration owe,

New YORK, April 2s.-The review of
the war ships comprising the Coluin-
bian fleet was followed Thursday night
by novel and unique display of the
ships powerful search lights, which
enabled the thousands of spectators
who lined the banks of North river ON
both the New York and New Jersey
sides to take in at glance the position
of the thirty-five war vessels lying at
anchor. Many Of the war vessels were
illuminated from stem to stern and al
along the deck and headlines and
around the tunnels. Before the grand
search light display was concluded

THE NEWARK.

1t was peculiarly manifestation of
sentiment, not of force. Yet some of
the feetest and most formidable naval
vessels in the world were there. And
the quaintest part of the days pro
ceedings was that the post of honor at
the head of the reviewed columns was
given to the apparently unseaworthy re-
productions of the Columbus caravels
the Santa Maria, Pinta and Nina,
which with infinite care had been
towed over from Cadiz to Cuba by our
own Admiral Benham, and from Cuba
and escorted to Hampton roads and
Eew York by the Spanish war ships
These pigmy boats, high popped and
lateen rugged, cut away amidships like a
Roman galley, were anchored opposite
Ninety-third street, and formed
practically the turning point of the
review. The contrast of four centuries
of naval development could not have
been more strongly and picturesquely
marked.

salute of twenty-one guns was fired by
each ship. During the half hour or
more that the presidential progress
lasted this cannonading never ceased
until more than sixteen hundred guns
had been fred. Towards the close
of their booming, long separate identity
merged into Titanic roar while flashes
of red flame and dense sulphurous
clouds of smoke were all the spectators
on the shore could distinguish. The
firing began with the German flagship
Kaiserin Augusta and the BRAZILIAN
battleship Aquidaban; it was taken up
in more ponderous manner by the
Dutch Van Speyk and the Spanish In
