MIR. oARLIsLE Ar WORK

Studying the Treasury SItuation-In Com
ference with tho Department officials,
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb, l0,-Mr
Carlisle has within the past few days
given much attention and study to
treasury affairs, acquainting himself
with business pending in the depart
ment which is likely to remain over for
solution by the next administration.
The principal OF these is the silver
problem, or rather the recent heavy
absorption OF gold. This question he
regards as ono that will require his i'm.
mediate consideration and to fortify
himself with all the information posi-
BILE he has had personal conferences
with several OF the most prominent off
cials in the treasurer's office. With
these he has discussed the method that
the treasury department have employed
to protect the gold reserve. They ad-
mitted frankly that all their theories as
to the cause OF tho outflow OF gold have
been dashed to the wall by recent
events.
Tho amount Of imports and exports,
which was formerly thought to exert q
controlling influence, seems to operate
no longer 10 any appreciable extent.
The rate OF exchange also ceases to ope.
rate, as gold continues to go out. These
statements were made to Mr.. Carlisle
and the officials were quite frank in ad-
mitting that they had stopped trying to
find out the reason for the outflow OF
gold, and were instead bending all their
energies to prevent the gold balance
from being entirely exhausted and to
keep intact the gold reserve Of $780,
100000. To this end Secretary Foster
has, it is stated, made satisfactory ar.
rangements with New York bankers for
the exchange Of legal tender notes for
enough gold coin sufficient to meet all
demands for some time to come. Sec
retary Foster expresses the opinion
that the gold outplt within the next
few months will not be SO great as it
has been during the past few months.

LONDON, Feb. lo,-In the house Of
commons to-day Mr.. L, L. Gourley,
Liberal, Of Sunderland, asked the gov
ernment what progress was being made
in the settlement of the Boring Sea
question. Mr. Gourley also asked
whether tho government could lay be-
fore Parliament the report of the COM
missioner appointed to make inquiries
preparatory to arbitration. SirEGroy,
under secretary OF the foreign Office, de-
cIined to produce tho report owing to
the engagement made between the
powers concerned that the arbitration
proceedings should for the present be
held confidential,

ing among the Irish home rule mem.
bers. Arthur J. Balfour, leader of the
Unionists, spoke at length in favor Of
extending the debate on tho 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 correctness OF Mr.. Bal
four's statement. Comparison OF the
records OF the two governments would
show, he said, the contrary to
have been the case. The matter, how
ever, was not Of vital Importance. He
objected to the matter in which the exc
tension OF the debate had been intro
duced without previous notice.
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 mem
bers answered it with cries Of "shame"
and jeers which completely drowned
the opposition.
When Mr.. Gladstone rose to answer
Mr. Balfour he was trembling with in.
dignation. In voice shaken with an-
ger, he thundered out: 'sWith due re-
gard to circumstances and time have
endeavored to serve the house to the
best Of my ability. Loud and prolonged
cheers. The righthonorable memberfor
East Manchester would have shown bet
ter taste, would have better fulfilled the
duties OF the post which he occupies, II
he had spared the reterenceto my agree-
able occupation"
Repeated cheers followed Mr.. Glad
stones words and amid the enthusiasm
OF the demonstration Mr.. Balfour rose
unnoticed to speak. He began three
times before his voice could be heard.
Before he had spoken dozen audible
words the Irish members drowned his
voice again with yells, shouts of "0h,
Oh" Coward" and "Withdraw."
After several minutes Of this bedlam,
Thomas 0'Connor, anti-Parnellite for
the Scotland division Of Liverpool, rose.
Mr.. Baliour yielded to him the floor
and the disorder abated.

THE PINKERToN SYSTEM.

Report of the Homestead Investigating
Committec-The Conclusions Arrived mt.
WASHINGTON, D. O., Feb, 16.-Mr.
Gallinger, from the select committee
appointed by the senate to investigate
and report to the senate the facts in re-
lation to the employment for private
purposes Of armed bodies OF men or
detectives in connection with differ
onces between workmen and employers,
submitted the report OF the committee
to-day. The committee found that the
the proprietors OF the detective agencies
admitted that the presence OF so-called
Pinkertons at strike served to unduly
inaame the passions Of the strikers, and
the employment OF detectives in the
guise OF mechanics impressed the COM
mittee with the belief that 1t Is IN
utterly vicious system, responsible for
much OF the i'll feeling displayed by the
working classes.
Tho committee expresses the opinion
that il firms and corporations would
discontinue tho employment OF armed
men on occasions OF threatened or ex-
lbIlHE StIlkCs tllGlC lHtelesto Muulu w
bettor subserved. "It strikes your
committee" the report continues,
that il Mr.. Frick had acted upon the
views laid down by MIR. Andrew Car
negie in his article, "The Results OF the
Labor Trouble" in the Forum maga-
zine, which in recent letter 10 the
chairman Of this committee Mr., Car
negio reaiIirmed, and had further ex-
tended negotiations with his workmen,
the Homestead strike might have been
avoided"
Tho committee declares that the ap-
pointment OF private armed guard Mt
Homestead was unnecessary. There
was no evidence, they say, to show tho
slightest damage was done or attempted
to be done, property on tho part of
strikers. At the same time there seems
to DO no excuse for tho scenes OF dis
order and terrorism for which tho
strikers wOrc themselves responsible; {;
laboring mon should learn the lesson
that thoy cannot better their condition
by violating tho law or resisting lawful
authority.
The committee reached those con-
Clusions:
/. Rights of employers and workmOn
are equal.
2. Employers have m undoubted
right, provided they fulfill their ngroh-
mcnts, to employ and dismiss mod at
pleasure.
.. Workmen can legally organize for
mutual protection and improvement.
4. Whom dissatisfied with wages or
hours, they should attempt to arbi-
trate.
8. Failing In this they have d right to
discontinue work, either slngly or in q
body
0. Having discontinued, thcy havo no
right, legal or moral, by force, intimidH-
tlon TO keep others from taking thOlr
places or attempt TO occupy, injuro or
destroy tho property OF their employers.
Z, In all controvcrsl lcs. arbitration
having failed, reliance should bD placed
upon tho power and adequacy Of tho
law.

WAsmN4roN, D, G., Feb. lO.-All the
members OF the cabinet were pres
ent at the meeting to-day, which lasted
nearly m hour. Tho principle topic
discussed was the seton OF Minister
Stevens in establishing protectorate
over the Hawaiian islands, In view OF
the fact that the next steamer leaving
San Francisco for Honolulu is scheduled
for Tuesday, the l4th inst, it is not be-
lieyed that any definite action will be
taken approving or disappearing Minis
ter Stevens action until the day before
the departure OF the steamer for the is
lands. Secretary OF State Foster was the
first to leave the white house after the
cabinet meeting He intimuRd that
tho government had plenty OF time to
act in deliberate manner, and while
the approval, or disapproval OF Mr..
Stevens action was necessary, yet in
view Of the impossibility OF reaching
HIM, other than by mail communication,
immediate action in the premises was
not deemed necessary.
