tendance at the ST. Asaph track this after

ing one Of the largest of the meeting The

the card was an excellent one. There were
but two horses scratched, Dreibund in the
first race and Marshall in the second.
The sixth race, at five furlongs, which
closed this morning, had five entries
Prince John, 104; Anxiety, 80; Weinberg,
100; Owlet, 90; Sappho, 81. Eighteen book

The st. Asaph people are somewhat ey-
ercised at the refusal of the National

cided just what to do, 1t can be stated on
the best OF authority that IL the horsemen
desire a continuance of the meeting, and
will stand by the track, the meeting will
not only be continued indefinitely, but one

DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.
Extension Of Streets,

The Commissioners spent another busy
day with Mr. F. L. Qlmstead. discussing
the plans for an extension of the streets
and avenues of the District The detailed
plans of the first or Rock creek section
were carefully gone over by Mr.. Olmstead.
and he will submit a! proposition to the
Commissioners within a few days.
The Charge Legal.
The current appropriation bill contains
a clause which provides that hereafter
one-half the cost Of the maintenance and
repair Of any bridge across Rock creek &C.
cupied by the tracks of street railway
shall be borne by the railway companies.
In this connection bill for s1T.15 was
sent to the Rock Creek Railway Company
for repairs made to the bridge on Connecti-
cut avenue extended over Rock creek. The
railroad company refused to pay the bill
on tie ground that 1t would be establish
ing a bad precedent. The bridge was con-
structed at the railroad company's expense
and donated to the District and for that
reason 1t il claimed that the law referred
to does not apply. The papers were sent
to the attorney for the District, who holds
in an opinion to the Commissioners today
that the charge is legal and should be
paid by the company.

HE DID NOT COM e
The President Failed to Make His Appear
ance at the Cabinet Meeting.
A RumOr That He Had SpFained Hts
Ankle, hut Mr.. Thurber De-
MED That Story.

Today's cabinet meeting was like per-
Torrance of Hamlet without the presence
Of the Melancholy Dane 1t afforded.
probably. the first instance of q cabinet
meeting which was not attended by the
President. For some unexplained reason
Mr.. Cleveland did not come into the city
today, but as no notice of his purpose was
vouchsafed the members of his cabinet.
they all assembled at the White House at
the usual hour.
Secretary Herbert was the only absentee.
He Is in Alabama. Secretary Carlisle re-
NAMED about half an hour, and then, IS
there was no prospect of the Presidents
attendance, he returned to the Treasury
Department and resumed the engrOsSing
work OF preparing plan for the reforma-
ton of our currency system on modern
basis. The other ministers remained. chat
ting on general matters for about an hour
longer, and were Joined by Private Sec
rotary Thurber. There was no pretense at
a formal meeting and no business was
transacted.
All sorts of stories were in circulation
during the afternoon IL regard to the
Presidents absence from the meeting One
was that he was sick, ard another. which
gained wide circulation, was that he had
slipped on a gravel in his garden and had
sprained his ankle. Mrs. Cleveland appear
ed at the White House during the progress
OF the meeting, and it was surmisod by
some sensational people that she came to
tell the cabinet CT the Presidents mis-
fortune.
1t is stated, however, as a fact that she
brought no such news, and that her only
purpose In. driving to town was to call upon
her great friend, Mrs. Jos. Jefferson.
Private Secretary Thurber secuted all
the stories about the President having met
with an accident. He said he had seen
Mrs. Cleveland at the White House this
morning and she made no reference to any
thing Of the kind.
He said he saw the President last even
ing and the President had then intimated
that as he had not much time to COM
plete his message and as there was moth
ing of special Importance to be consid-
cred he probably would not come into town
today. Mr.. Thurber said that as there was
q possibility of his changing his mind he
had not thought 1T necessary to notify the
cabinet officers not to come to the White
House. And that was all there was to 1t,
so far as he could see. He was confident
that nothing had happened to the Presi-
dent.

inent director to attend todays meeting,

and left quotations to reflect the varying
whims of the professional trader. Should
the regular dividend be declared tomorrow

STILL RAIDING THE GOLD.
Treasury officials Think That thu
hanks Are Not keepinE Faith.


hanks Are Not Keeping Faith.
The banks continue their raid on the
treasury gold, for use probably in the pur-
chase of bonds. and the suspicion is grow
ing that they are not keeping faith with
the Treasury Department In this matter.
The United States treasurer has received
word that the gold Withdrawals from the
subtreasury at New York today up to
noon were 100000, of which $5OO.OOO was
taken by the Central National Bank OF
New York, making the total so taken by
that one institution an even million dol
lars.
Today's Withdrawals swell the total loss
Of government gold since the bond call was
issued to s.. $4,000. The officials of the de-
partment are more concerned over these
transactions than they care to admit, al
though some say that II was~eXpected from
the first that at least $10,OO.OO0 in gold
would be taken from the treasury for bond
subscriptions. There are but three days
more for these transactions before the
opening of the bids for bonds, which will
take place at noon on Saturday and the
Withdrawals during those days will be
awaited with deep interest. -
