free gold disappeared, treasury notes
would be redeemed in gold or silver, and
much disquietude was produced by it in
the great financial centers, especially as
it was pretty well understood that Mr..
Carlisle's inclinations were to use silver
rather than trench upon the gold reserve.
The events of Saturday, however, made
it apparent either that Mr.. Carlisle's in
tentions had been unsupported or that he
had been overruled, for the gold reserve
was actually trenched upon to the
amount of 100000 or S4,000,O00-in
other words than his intention of re-
deeming the treasury notes in silver if
1t ever existed was not carried into effect
Another question remains to be settled
and upon this there is said to be also a
radical difference of opinion between the
President and his Secretary-namely how
to restore the gold reserve to the amount
required by law 500, 100000. While
slight diminution in the reserve is not
likely to affect the value of the green
UdSA, IL Ol1ttb G6CICdS0 SllOulQ commune
and grow to considerable dimensions
there is danger that gold may go to pre-
MUM, or to state the case more exactly,
that the greenbacks may depreciate. The
most obvious and direct way to restore
the reserve is by the issue of bonds, but
the Secretary of the Treasury is said to
be of the opinion that existing laws do
not authorize him to do this, and besides
to doit is against his personal incli-
nations On the other hand the President
believes the law sufficient and thinks
this plan should be resorted to if the ex-
port of gold continues. If this differ
ence of opinion exists it will be seen to
be radical one which can hardly be
compromised. Mr.. Carlisle is not the
man to surrender his opinion at the de-
mand of the President, and Mr.. Cleve-
land is not likely to yield to his secretary
in matter Of this Importance. The con-
troversy is therefore one that is liable to
produce disruption of the Cabinet and
the retirement of Mr.. Carlisle.

ART IN DRESS.
We all remember the most becoming

ing to Ha'per's Bazaar, French woman
would analyze that dress, ask herself
why it was becoming; was it the color,

lines suited her figure, OF what? She
would find out the reason for its success,
and reproduce the same effect hundred
times, modifying the style to suit the
prevailing fashion of the moment.
Are her arms too long, she wears
sleeves that ''cut them in two." Is her
waist too short, she never wears belt.
And above everything else she tries to
accent anything individual about herself

many deficiencies this may make up for.

Mr.. Gladstone's forces stood solidly bv
him when the vote on the second reading
of the Home rule bill came, and it was
passed by majority of forty-three.
Notwithstanding the lack of homogen-
eousness among the elements that consti-
tute Mr.. Gladstone's followers he has
been able to hold them together on all
important questions that have so far
arisen and it is clear now that the home
rule bill is to prove no exception. Some
amendments may be made in committee
but it is pretty certain that the bill will
pass the commons in substantially its
present form. 1t is sure to encounter
defeat in the House of Lords, however.
and before home rule is an accomplished
fact another appeal will have to be
made to the country. 1t is in anticipa-
ton of this appeal, probably, as well as
to stiffen up the peers that the numerous
and impressive anti-home rule demon
strations are being made in London. The
bitter character of these demonstrations
and the violence of the orators who take
part in them show that the opposition is
exceedingly bitter and determined, and
presage one of the most violent and ex
citing contests that England has ever
seen if the question gets to the people
again.

The Bangor Commercial says that if an
epidemic of diphtheria breaks out at the
Augusta hospital the legislators who are
responsible for the existing condition
there may possibly feel a burden upon
their consciences. This is in the nature
OF rebaxe. we suppose, to those
legislators who were not prepared to vote
to begin the erection of a hospital at Ban
gor. 1t is rather far fetched however.
Such vote certainly would have had no
tendency to prevent an outbreak of
diphtheria and as a hospital could not
have been erected under year at least,
it could have furnished no relief in an
emergency growing out of an outbreak of
diphtheria. The Commercials paragraph
is lacking in point.

of the Boston Herald has fallen into the
error of supposing that deputy marshals
must be taken from the police force.
That was the case under the law of 1885

to remove all restrictions and enable the
Mayor to appoint whomsoever he chose.

SPARRING EXHIBITIoN.-The lovers
of sport were most agreeably entertain
ed last night at Henry's Theatre by an
exhibition of the manly art" in which
there were three interesting contests.
The theatre was comfortably filled with
an orderly and appreciative audience.
Mr.. George McCauley acted as referee
and John Kane was timekeeper The
first bout was between William Sey-
mour and John Smith of Washington,
who spared four rounds, to draw :;
the second exhibition was between
Howard Wilson of Washington and
James Russell of this city, and after the
seventh round the battle was award
ed to Wilson; then William Robin
son and Charles Holcomb, OF Wash
ington, entered the ring and after
seventeen well-contested rounds had
been fought the referee decided the
contest in favor of Robinson, he having
scored the greatest number of points.
The last battle brought out some beau
tiful sparring which reflected credit on
each Of the combatants. The eXhi-
bition was one of the best of its cha
racter ever given in this city, The
best of order was preserved, nothing
whatever occurring to require the in
tervention of the police force which
Manager Henry had engaged TO be on
hand to witness the exhibition.

BRILLIANT PARTY.-Miss Rebecca
Daingerfeld last night made her debut

delightful entertainment given at the
handsome residence of her father, Mr..

street. There was large gathering of
the young friends of the charming de-
butante, with a fair sprinkling of those
OF maturer years, and the occasion was
a most brilliant one. Miss Daingerfield
and her mother received their guests in
the handsome parlors, and later those
present engaged in dancing to music
furnished by Donch's band, which was
kept up till late hour. During the
evening delightful supper was served
and most heartily enjoyed. The toilets
of the ladies were exceedingly hand
some and most becoming, and seldom
has there been more enjoyable party
given in Alexandria than that of last
night.
