Tomorrow's Gold Demand for Export May Require a Definite Settlement of the Gov- ‘ernment’s Policy. Financial ciretes ave been calling fora state- ment from Secretary Carlisle of his position and his intentions regarding the gold situation. The statement published elsewhere was given out last night, but there is no one who is willing to say that be can tell from it what) the policy of the administration will be. Ite meaning would be plainer if 1t carried with it a definition of the words **goid lawfully avail- able for the purpose of redeeming treasury notes in gold.” Without the knowledge of Mr. Carlisle's interpretation of this phrase the announcement does not in any way outline what steps the government intends to take and is regarded as nothing more than an appeal to western bankers and patriotic cit- izens to come forward with what means they control to aid the Secretary of the Treasury. If the published report of the amount of | gold needed for export tomorrow be true it | ‘wail be unnecessary for any one to speculate on the poliey of the treasury as the cri will have arrived and been met. According to Mr. Carlisle's statement. there is in the treasury $500,000 of free gold. Ac- cording to the reports over 3,000,000 will be wanted for export. Unless the bankers come to the assistance of the treasury the payment of gold for the treasury notes of 1890 will have to be stopped or the gold reserve utilized to meet the demand. The financial situation was a serious topic of discussion at the cabinet meeting today and it was thought at the Treasury Department that by this afterncon something more definite than the announcement of Mr. Carlisle will be known. RADICAL CHANGE OF POLICY. Probable Action of the Present Administra- ‘ton in Regard to Reciprocity. The impression is growing that the avowed purpose of the present administration of re-| forming our tariff system will find its first ex- position in negotiations looking to important changes in existing commercial treaties with other countries, especially those in South America, with which we have established com- merciaireciprocity under the McKinley act. It is said with an air of kngwledge that th of reciprocity inaugurated by tho last adminis- tration is to be entirely changed and that the reciprocity treaties now in force are to be ab- Togated at the earliest possible day consistent with their terms. TO ABROGATE RETALIATORY PROCLAMATIONS. One of the first steps in this direction will be the abrogation of the retaliatory proclamations against Veneznela, Haiti and Colombia, the only three countries of South America that re- | fused our overtures in the direction of re- ciprocal trade relations. ‘The — discrim- inating duties now im, on cof sugar, hides. &c., produced in those countries Decause of their refusal to establish favorable rates for United States mannfactures will be ro- moved and imports from those countries will | be treated the same as imports from all other countries. In view of this determination it is only fair to assume that as the other South American countries will derive no special benefit from the existing reciprocal agreements they will cffer no objection to their termination. it is contended that it would be manifestly unfair for the United States to impose restrictions only on the products of the countries that open their markets to our goods and pus them on the same plane with countries that practically discriminate against us. TO TEEMINATE RECIPROCITY TREATIES. It is therefore conceded that the prospective abrogation of the prociemation sgainst Vene- zuela, Haiti and Colombia will be speedily fol- lowed by the termination of the special recip- rocal trade arrangements with other foreign countries, the effect of which is simply a re- turn to the trade conditions existing prior to the consummation of the reciprocity treaties. The importance of this matter is fully recog- nized by the President and the Secretary of Stateandeach step will be taken with the greatest deliberation and it may be reveral months before the plan takes shape sufficient for pubhe announcement. In the meanwhile it is an open secret that negotiations are now in progress for the resumption of former trade relations with Venezuela, Haiti and Colombia and the abrogation of the re- ciprocity treaties with Brazil and with Spain for Cuba and Porto Rico, The alleged reason for this radical change of policy is that “recip- Tocity as at present constituted is a failure.” No information on this subject can be ob- tained from Secretary Gresham or other of- ficials of the State Department, but from other sources of unquestioned relixbility it is ascer- tained that there is substantial foundation for the current reports as above outlined SECRETARY HERBERT'S DEPARTURE. He Left Here Today to Join the Fleet in Hampton Roads. Secretary Herbert has practically recovered from his recent indisposition and left here this afternoon to visit the United States ficet in Hampton Roads. He went from here by rail to Annapolis, where he will board the Presi- dent's yacht, Dolphin, and be taken to Fort Monroe,’ arriving there tomorrow morning. He was accompanied by Ensign Wood, his naval aid; Miss Herbert, Mra. Manning and Miss Fryer. A dinner will be given on board the Dolphin by Secretary Herbert tomorrow even- ing in honor of the principal officers partici- pating in'the review. The Secretary and party Will accompany the review fect to New York, where he will be joined on tho Dolphin by the President and other members of the cabinet. ——__-e-—___—_ BASE BALL PASSES. ‘The President and Members of the Cabinet Provided by Col. Young. The President and his cabinet have been Given season passes to the base ball games and promised good seats if they will come. Col. Nick Young, president of the league, called at the White House this morning and handed Private Secretary Thurber coupon books for himeelf, the President and each mem- ber of the cabinet. Mr. Thurber accepted with thanks and promised to use his book if the others didn’t. President Harrison and Secretary Charles Foster frequently attended the base ball games last summer, and Uncle Jerry Rusk, Secretary of Agriculture, would sit on the “bleachers” AT THE WHITE HOUSE. Bat Few Visitors Toda: Masters Discussed at Cabinet Meeting. Friday appears to be a fast day among the office-seekera, for but few of them appeared at the White House this morning. It gested that possibly they are trying the faith cure principle and stayed at home to pray for | their offices. ‘The real reason however, was probably the fact that they knew the cabinet was to meet at 11 o'clock and concluded that an hour was not long enough for their purposes and remained away accordingly. The cabinet assembled at 11 o'clock, Secre- taries Herbert and Smith alone being absent. The subject of departmental appointments, | bureau chiefships and assistant secretary was discussed at some length. The President desires to complete the reorranization of the de- partments a8 Foon as possible and would like to ships ave it over with by the beginning of the fiscal | year, i BUREAU THE WEATY INqumny. Chief Harrington Fails to Keep an Appoint- ment With Gen. Colby. In the letter of transmittal from Gen. Colby to Prof. Harrington of the formal charges against the weather bureau, printed in yester- day's Stax. he requested that Prof. Harring- | ton mect him at his office at 10 a.m. today to consult him as to what <rrangements should be made as to when, where and at what time the seconi portion of the investigation should proceed. No one appeared at the office of Gen. Colby _ today, but a letter was received from Prof. Harrin ton stating that he would file a reply within twenty-four hours. Gen. Colby could’ not say when the proceedings would continue, but ex- pressed his opinion that they would be begun tomorrow morning. 2 Regarding the resignation of Mr. Rockwood, the assistant chief of the weather bureau, Secre- tary Morton is quoted as saying “Yes, I called for Maj. Rockwood’s resignation on the 14th instant, On the day following I re- ceived a letter from him, dated April 3, defend- ing bis action in the Crane esse. On the 18th his resignation was received, and it has been aceepted.”” Mir. Morton declined to state definitely his reasons for requesting Maj. Kockwood’s resiz- nation, but remarked significantly: “I think Ishall’ call fora few more just tokeep my hand in.” ERE SMeeneaee SECRETARY HERBERT'S DEPARTURE. He Leaves for Annapolis to Take the Doi- phin for Hampton Roads. Secretary Herbert, accompanied by his daughter, Mrs. Manning, Miss Fryer and naval aid, Ensign Wood, left Washington for Annap- olis ata quarter past twelve o'clock today via the Baltimore and Ohio railroad.
