CARLISLE MAY RESIGN.
He Has an Offer of a Big Salary
From a Private Concern.
IS HELD BY POLITICAL AMBITIONS
IL Is Reported That He Has Until Feb.
In Which to Consider an oner OF se5, 600
Yoar-Mrs. Carlisle Wants to Sec Hin
In the White House.

Ah Ant W hAAe HOUSE,
New YORK, Jan. IA morning paper
publishes today the following from Wash.
ington; Secretary John G.. Carlisle has un.
I'll the lst of next month to odecide whether
he will continue to earn 5000 year as
secretary Of the treasury or make sos, 900 q
year as president and legal adviser of big
financial institution which is now being
organized by some of the leading capital
lists Of Ohio and the adjoining states.
Secretary Carlisle has consulted with n
number OF his friends and nearly all OF
them have told him that he ought to &C.
cept the offer
Mrs. Carlisle Ambitious.
Mr.. Carlisle is not a millionaire, but he
has never been very ambitious for wealth
Mrs. Carlisle Is opposed TO her husbands
leaving publis life, having ambitions fot
him politically. She believes that he will
yet reach the White House.
Some of Mr. Carlisle's friends say that
he could continue as secretary of the treas
ury until the financial difficulties and the
tariff legislation are arranged, and then Il
would be "A good time Tor him to retire tenn.
porarily from public life lie would retire
at the height of his success, and the money
he would earn in the meantime would be
necessary should he become a presidential
candidate.
Mr.. Carlisle says to his friends In con
| gress that the condition Of finances is alarm.
ing and that something must be done at
once. He had the members Of the senate
finance committee with him nearly all day,
and they went over the situation carefully.
| lie appealed to them to take prompt action
to protect the credit of the government by
| authorizing him TO sell 3 per cent bonds 10
the amount Of $500, 600, 600 n necessary.
Mr.. Carlisle has always held that in an
emergency the secretary of the treasury,
under the law Of 1873, has a right 20 sell
300 OOOi0 In bonds at per cent interest.
His Bond Bill.
Senator Sherman. who is strongly in
favor Of issuing bonds in accordance with
Mr.. Carlisle's wish, framed the bill that
/ gives the secretary of the treasury his pres
ent authority. The Ohio statesman claim,
that these bonds were TO be used for re
demption and that he doubts very much
whether they can be used for any Other
| purpose. He says that this would raise
doubt as to its legality, and with this
| question il might be exceedingly difficult
to sell per cent bonds.
While II is likely that the bill authoriz
ing the secretary Of the treasury TO sci
bonds could pass the senate, it is extremell
doubtful If IL could pass the house at th
present time. In a talk with Mr.. Cockral
about this he stated that he is very mucl
afraid that the bond bill could not ge
through. The western and southern con
gressmen regard anything in the form O
bonds as an iniquitous scheme of Wal
street, and they will not vote for It.
