By Mr. Cleveland, for Secretar o.
State, Causes Comment,
BOTH FAVORABLE AND ADVERSE,
Among Democrats at the National
Capital-The Indiana Delega-
ton Well Pleased and Believe
His Selection Will Strengthen
the Democratic Party in the
West-Comments of the Lead
ing New York Papers.

WASHINGTON, D. c., February TO-
The announcement that Judge Gresham
will be a member of Cleveland's Cabinet
produced different effects on different
Democrats here.
There are many Democrats in Con-
gress who speak with great satisfaction
Of the selection, but a number OF old
lire working politicians accept the
statement reluctantly and are shaking
their heads over it, saying that IL is an
Injustice To the Democrats Of the cOun-
try and that they fear that it meaas
there is not going to be all the harmony
there should be between the new ad-
miniStrati0n and the rank and file OF
staiwart Democrats.
No one, however, questions Gresham's
qualifications for Cabinet place, and
all admit shat, the question Of his De-
mocracy aside, he will make an admir-
able official wherever he is placed.
The memb bers Of the Indiana Congress
sional delegation are enthusiastic over
Gresham'S selection. Mr.. Bynum and
Judge Jason Brown, two OF the strong
est members OF the delegation, spoke
to-day in high praise of the judge, and
said Cleveland could not have made a
better selection for his Cabinet.
GreSham's appointment would greatly
strengthen the Democratic party in
Indiana as it would throughout the
West. II would attach permanently to
the party thousands of Republicans and
Independents who, Influenced By
Gresham's example, voted for Cleveland
In preference to Harrison last fall.

THE ECONOMIES.
It Looks As Though the society Would
soon be Thing OF the Past.


PIrrsBURG, PA, February 10.-The
long looked for battle is on in the Har-
mony Society. A bill in equity was
filed at Beaver to-day in behalf OF Ben
jamin Feucht and others against PreSl-
dent John DusS, and the members OF
the society praying first for the appoint
ment of a receiver TO wind up the al
fairs of the community, second Tor
an Injunction to restrain trus-
tees DuSs and SeOer from
encum mbering, selling, or assigning the
property and assets OF the society
Third, that said trustees be ordered TO
account in full for the assets since their
management Fourth, that DuSs and
Sieber De ordered 10 pay over TO the re-
cejver the amount of losses sustained
under their MANAGEMENT. ttth, that
an order De made for the dissolution OF
the Harmony Society and division OF
the assets. Feucht and all the other
petitioners are members OF the Society.
IN the petition, gross mismanagement
on Iue part OF the trustees Is alleged.
/ sets forth that recently the society
had property valued At S4,000,OOO but
that a great deal of this has been lost,
and the petitioners now believe that
the society is iuSolvent. That within
SIX years Duss has sold s., 100000 worth
OF valuable stocks, OstensiOiy Tor the
payment Of debts, which debts were
contracted through the fraud, negll-
gence and mismauagement OF Duss. IL
is also alleged that the principles OF the
society have become obsolete; that DuSS
and Sieber are now living in luxury with
their wives, while the main principle OF
tine organizat tion is celibacy; also, that
the Board of Elders are confirmed and
common drunkardS instaad Of spiritual
leaders.
The filing Ct the bill this morning at
Beaver is the first step in what may be
expected 70 be u deeply interesting and
hot,y contested battle in the Beaver
courts. The application for a prelimi-
nary injunction will first be argued and
before an injunction is granted the
plaintiffs will nave TO give bond in a
very large amount. The entering OF
the suit will surprise Economy as much
as any one, for most OF the members
thought the trouble had blown over and
took no stock in the talk OF Mr.. Ward
who is not a member o. the society and
therefore could not be a party to any
such suit as this.

STUDYING TREASURY AFFAIRS.

MIR. Carlisle Preparing Himself for the
Position he VIII occupy Alter the 4th
OF March.
WASHINGTON, February 10.-Mr Car
Isle has within the past few days given
much attention and study 10 Treasury
affairs, acQuainting himself with ousl-
ness pending in the department which
! is likely 10 remain over for ISOLATION by
the next administration. The principal
OF these questions is the silver problem,
or rather the heavy absorption OF gold
This question he regards as one that
will require his immediate consider
alton, and TO fortify himself with all the
! information possible he has had person
al conferences with several OF the most
prominent officials in the treasurer :
Office.
With these be has discussed the
method that the Treasury Department
have employed TO protect the gold re-
serve. They admitted frankly that all
their theories as 10 the cause OF the out
flow OF gold have been dashed TO the
wall by recent events. The amount OF
imports and exports, which was former
ly thought 20 exert controlling lniu-
ence, seems TO operate no longer TO any
aJpreciable extent. The rate OF ex-
change also ceases to operate, as gold
continues 10 20 out.
These statements were made to Mr.
Carlisle, and the officials were quite
frank I'm admitting that they had
stopped trying 70 find out the reason
for the outflow OF gold, and were In
stead bending sll their energies to pre-
vent the gold balance from being en-
tirely exhausted. and 10 keep Intact the
gold reserve yf 100000, 600.
To this end Secretary Foster has, 1t
is stated, made satisfactory arrange
ments with New York bankers for the
exchange OF legal tender notes for gold
coin sufficient 10 meet oil demands for
some time. Secretary Foster expresses
the opinion that the gold output within
the next few months will not be so
great as IL has been during the past
/ fo.v months

LONDON, February lO.-In the House
OF Commons to-day Mn +. Il. Gourley,
Liberal, OF Sunderland, asked the Gov
ernment what progress was being made
in the settlement Of the Bering Sea
question.
Mr.. Gourley also asked whether the
government could lay before Parliament
the report OF the commissioner an
pointed to make inquiries preparatory
TO arbitration.
Sir l., Grey, under Secretary OF tho
Foreign Office, declined to produce tho
report owing 20 the engagement made
between the powers concerned, that the
arbitration proceedings should for the
present be held confidential.
The appearance OF Michael Dayitt as
newly elected member for Northeast
Cork was a signal for prolonged cheer
Ing among the Irish Home Rule men,
bers.
Arthur j. Baliour, leader Of the
Unlonists, spoke at length IN favor OF
extending the debate on the address.
After repeating his former argument
on the point, he reminded the House
that when the Conservatives were in
Office the Liberals had insisted upon
longer debates on the address.
Mr.. Gladstone questioned the correct
ness OF Mr.. Beliour's statement. Com
parison OF the records OF the two gov
ernments would show. he said, the
contrary 70 have been the case.
The matter, however, was not OF
vital Importance. He objected 20 tho
in o
bate had been introduced without prev
ious netice.
Mr. Balfour replied with spirit that
he had not only given notice, but also
had debated the question last evening
when the right honorable gentleman
opposite was more agreeably occupied.
This slur had an unexpected effect
on the House. The Liberal and Irish
members answered II with cries OF
"shame" and ieers, which completely
drowned the opposition cheers. .
When Mr.. Gladstone rose TO answer
be was trembling with Indignation. In
a voice shaken with anger. he thun-
dered out:
with due regard 10 circumstances
and time have endeayored TO serve
the House 10 the best OF my ability
loud and prolonged cheers). The
right honorable member for East Man
chester would have shown better taste
aud would have better fulfilled the dut-
les Of the post which be occupies II be
bad spared the reference TO my agree
able occupation"
Repeated cneers followed Mr.. Glad
stones words, and amid the enthusiasm
OF the demonstration Mr.. Balfour rose
unnoticed 10 speak.
lie began three times before his voice
could be heard. Before ho had spoken
dozen audible words the Irish mem
bers drowned his voice again with yells
aud shouts OF "0h, oh, coward" and
withdraw"
After several minutes OF this bedlam,
Thomas O'Conner, antl-Psrnellite for
the Scotland division OF Liverpool,
arose. Mr.. Bslfour yielded TO him the
floor and the disorder abated.

NO NEED TO HURRY,
Stevens Cannot Be Communicated With
Except BY Mail Anyway

WASHINGTON, d. c., February TO-
All the members OF the Cabinet were
present at the meeting to-day, which
lasted nearly an hour. The principal
tonic discussed was the action OF Minis
ter Stevens In establishing protector
ate over the Hawaiian islands. In view
OF tue fact that the next steamer loay-
ing San Francisco for Honolulu Is sched-
uled for Tuesday, the 14th inst. Il is not
believed that any definite action will
be taken approving or disapproying
Minister Stevens action until the day
before the departure OF the steamer for
the Islands. Secretary Of State Foster
was the first 20 leave the White House
after the Cabinet meeting. He inti-
mated that the government had plenty
of time TO act 10 deliberate manner,
and while the approval or disapproval
OF Dir. Stevens action was necessary,
vet To view OF the impOssiblity Of
-Teaching him other than oy mail COM
munication, immediate action IN the
premises was not deemed necessary.
This afternoons developments Ia the
Hawaiian matter, In cOntrsdistinction
TO those OF yesterday, have been im-
portant. Tonight the Commissioners
from the Islands are hopeful, II not
confident, that to-DOrroT will see the
practical II not formal conclusion Of
their labors.
This afternoon, after Office hours,
Secretary Foster held conference with
the Commissioners, which lasted until
O'Clock. In the course OF proceed
ings the Commissioners were Informed
that arrangements had been made for
their reception by President Harrison
tomorrow, probably AZ noon.
