Will Not Make the President
Part With Carlisle.
Secreiary's Bill as a Step Toward 9
Perfect Financial System.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4--Sccretary Carlisle
j. well aware OF the fact that there are
certain influences In Wall street that do
not like him, nor do they approve OF the
financial policy which he Is pursuing. He
made this discovery on the visits made by
him in arranging for the bond loans
Some of those influences control the col.
nmns OF ono or TWO OF the newspapers In
New York, and hence every two or three
weeks AN attack Is made on tho secretary,
containing demands for his immediate re-
moval, and recommending the president
10 appoint solns one who can run tho
finances In accordance with the ideas OF
Wall street spectators.
Thus fnr thrse vicious attacks have
made no Impression on Mr.. Cleveland. in
whose behalf they were made. In the hope
that friction might b. creatsd between the
president and his secretary. III Secretary
Carlisle had yielded In the first instance,
or even now would yield To these Wall
street spectators and allow thom To run
the department, these attacks would cease.
10 Is not very pleasant or agreeable to
the president TO have these unjust unfair
and malicious assaults made upon his
financial secretary. They exert no inilu-
ence here whatever, and II they have any
effect in money centcrs, it can only be TO
injure the credit OF the government.
No special Message.
President Cleveland has not yet deter
mined 20 send special message TO con-
gress on the currency question. This was
definitely ascertained yesterday by the
leaders OF the house who had heard that a
special message was contemplated.
IL was learned that Secretary Carlisle had
mentioned the matter 20 the president,
and IL had been discussed In general
way. There had been no conclusion
reached. however, and up TO the present
time the president has not framed such u
message, or In fact determined to send
one.
The president has thrown off his usual
reserve In discussing the pending currency
bill with members OF congress Chair
man Springer of the currency committee,
Representative Culberson and several
other house leaders have called Mt the
White House of late and talked at length
with the president on the currency ques-
tion.
In these talks Mr.. Cleveland had urged
the great need of passing some form Of
currency legislation. He has pointed out
that the Carlisle bill was not reform
over existing evils of the financial system,
any more than the tariff bill was n COM
plcte realization of the hopes of tariff re-
form. Yet in the judgments Of the presi-
dent the Carlisle bill was a step In the
right dircction, and with that accom-
plished, there was hope OF progressing un-
I'll the financial system vss perfected at
every point.
Mr.. Cleveland expressed his approval OF
the Carlisle bill as whole and in detail
He did not point out TO his callers any
thing that hv regarded as single flaw in
IL. He expressed the hope that it would
receive favorable and speedy action.
Congressional Dolngs.
