WASHINGTON. March a-The place which
Gresham holds In Mr.. Cleveland'a confidence
Ia shown by q circumstance which has not
attracted much attention. 1t 10 known that
Gresham was lately summoned by Cleveland
to como to Lakewood In the shortest time.
The Judge was working night and day to get
ready to leave Chicago to enter on his duties
as Secretary OF State at Washington. IL even
then being certain that he could not be pres
ont at the Inauguration. Dropping everything
and ad,ourning tho court for q few days, the
Judge obeyed the simmons. What the Presi-
dent elect wanted OF Gresham was his opinion
whether or not. should thero be an oc-
caslon. the Secretary OF tho Treasury
could. under the law. do n certain thing
regarding bonds. In three minutes
Gresham of hand enlightened tho President
elect. and on the fret train started back to
Chicago. This incident derives its Significance
from the fact that. although the prospective
Secretary OF tho Treasury. Carlisle. VINO IL ono

was at Cleveland's elbow. although Cleve-
land at the moment had selected II he hnd not
announced. his Attorney General. whom he
would naturally consult on matters OF that
snfce. and he was sent for. even though 1t
was on question outside OF tho line OF duties

has in Gresham. and goes far toward indicate
ing ing the power which the, eeeretary Of state
