Secretary Carlisle Talks About the Finan-
cia1 Situation,

WASHINGTON, April 20. Secretary
Carlisle tonight made a statement regard
ing the financial situation, in which he
says: There's gold enough in the coun-
try to meet all the requirements of the
situation. If all who are really interest
ed in maintaining sound and stable
currency would assist the secretary of
the treasury to the extent of their abili-
ties, the existing difficulties would soon
be removed"
Secretary Carlisle said $800,000 in gold
was taken out of the sub-treasury in
New York today for export. The money
paid into the sub-treasury for this gold
withdrawal included 100000 in gold
certificates which, to that amount, did
not reduce the gold reserve because they
themselves are practically gold So the
actual gold reduction of the day was only
$400, 600, leaving the balance as stated
above. This is the first considerable
amount of gold certificates paid into the
sub-treasury for gold for export for many
years, and encourages the treasury Off
cials to hope that the banks will continue
to present gold certificates in part pay

NASHVILLE, Tenn, April 20.-At $50
this morning the cannon at the Capital
was fred five times as a signal for the
troops to be up and ready for start to
Tracy City, the scene of the latest con-
vict troubles. The troops proceeded to
the depot where special train was
waiting to convey them. The occasion
of the gun firing was the receipt of a
telegram by Adjutant General Fife from

in progress and that one of the guards
was mortally wounded and another
hurt. A Tracy City special to the Ban
ner, received this morning, says: "At

all have quit and no work is being done
in any of the mines. The prisoners have

Long Attack Upon President Warner
Miller by the Agent of the English
Stochholders-The Man Selected To Be
Miller's Successor Denounced the
Performance and the Show Was Over
An Outline of the Plan.
NEW YORK, April 2O.-The Sun this
morning said: "The English Capitalists
who have invested money in the Nicara-
qua Canal are after ex-senator Miller
and threaten that if he does not resign
before noon today there will be lively
time for Miller at a meeting of the
stockholders to be held today. This
meeting is in response to call issued by
George Charles Knight, who came to
this city from England some time ago to
represent the English investors. 1t was
said yesterday by gentleman interested
in the English investors welfare that
progress in the work of completing the
canal had been blocked by the Cleveland
administration, which will have nothing
to do with Mr.. Miller or his representa-
tives, and as the English investors are
particularly interested in discovering
Mr.. Cleveland's views on the subject of
the completion of the canal, it is impera-
tive that there should be a change of
control, and the substitution for Miller
of representative who can treat with
the present administration. The Eng
lish investors, it was said, are in favor of
electin g Mr.. Smith M. Weed president.y
1.-THE statement was made YESTERDAYS
that the English investors were desirous
ofcompleting the canal through the aid
of joint subsidy from the British and
American governments. They estimate
that it will require $65, 100000,
and say that England is
willing to guarantee it's share.
The plan is to insure dividend of 3
per cent. fer seven years, and to guaran-
tee the repayment of the subsidy in 10
years.
The meeting was held according
to programme but it resulted disastrous
ly to the English element. Knight read
a long attack upon President Miller and
proposed that Smith NJ. Weed be elect
ed Millers successor and that an en-
tirely new company be organized under
English and American charters.
Mr. Weed. who was present, denounced
Knights statements as untrue, endorsed
Miller and asserted that the American
people would never permit the English
government to have a joint interest in the
Nicaragua canal. Weed then withdrew
and the meeting ended.

Mr.. Atkinson submitted plan for set

cents on dollar, 20 cents in cash and
30 cents in stock in the company. This
proposition was referred to committee
of 10, which is to consider it.
During the discussion which followed
Mr.. Libby's statement, several of the
creditors tried to elicit information by
asking questions touching certain points.
The remarks showed that the treditors

discussion was good natured, and no.
body cast any reflections upon Mr.. At
kinson. The opinion was expressed that
the buying out of B. A. Atkinson was
mistake. and had not this purchase been
made the company would never have
failed. Mr.. Atkinson was asked to ex-
plain by what authority he sold large
quantities of stock in the company at
prices below par. He said that before
| doing so he consulted with friends and
the directors, though he could not say
the directors passed any vote on the sub
ject. Had it not been for the
stringency of the money market
the company would have met it's obi
cations. Under the condition of things
which actually prevailed, failure could
not be avoided. He expected criticism.
He had done the best he could and was
there to look creditors honestly in the
face. The following seven men were Sc
lected as members of the committee:
