SEVERAL CONGRESSMEN AND OTHERS CALLED UPON HIM TOPAY—WHAT HE TOLD COL. OATES OF ALABAMA IN REGARD TO MEMOVALS IN HIS STATE. The President returned to Washington yes- 3 terday afternoon at 5:55 from his trip to Chi- cago, He was met at the depot by Mrs. Cleve- land, who drove down with Private Secretary Thurber in the new landau, which hos been built especially for her and bas just arrived. | The President was accompanied on the home- ward trip by Secretaries Carlisle, Gresbam, | Smith, Herbert and Morton.

The President entered his office at the White House at 10 o'clock this moruing and resumed the routine of duty, Among his earliest callers were Judge Morris and Judge Shepard of the | District Court of Appeals, who came to pay their respects, Lhere were very few callers in the morning, and those who came had opportunity for long talks with the President, Senators McPherson, Cockrell, Vest and Bate, and Rey entatives By um and Oates came in during the forenoon. Col. Ontes presented the uame of Geo. P.

The Alabama delegation has not met with remarkable success in obtaining local appoint ments, and Col. Uates today learned the proba- ble reason, The President told bim that be desires incumbents to serve out their terms, unless there are_ special reasons for immediate removal. The President intimated that offen- tive partisinship and the use of federal offices for political purposes would be considered cause for removal. Col. Oates said there were several such cases in Alabama, to which the Frosident replied that papers should be filed in each instance and proper action would be taken. Mr. John Y. McKane of Brooklyn was one of the President's callers this morning. He is a demoeratic leader and came to Washington to secure action on a few post office appointments, —e- COMMISSIONER ROOSEVELT. He Will Retain His Position at the Request of the President. For a time it was rather an open question whether Civil Service Commis-ioner Roosevelt would remain in this city as a member of the commission or not. Jt has been well known that Mr. Roosevelt has contemplated resigning ever since the change of administration, and jt was even surmised that he had seat in his resignation some time since. ‘This turns out to have been the case, but the President is too good a fudge of what a civil service com- | missioner should be to dispense with Mr. Roosevelt, and therefore requested that he continue in office, which, after some hesitation, Mr. Roosevelt agreed to do. Today in speaking to a Sram reporter about the matter Mr. Roosevelt said that #0 much of his conversation with the President in regard tg his resignation bad been of & confidential nature that he could say little in regard to it, “It is true, however,” said Mr. Roosevelt, “that on March 6 I'sent my resignation to the President, to take effect at hin con- ven About a week ago, in a con- versation, the President said to me that he desired me to retain a position on_ the com- mirsion, and T agreed to do so, That is all there to the matter, which is, of course, gratifying ne. Mr. Roosevelt speaks of the action of the President as gratifying to bimeelf, but if he could have heard the pleasant things which have been said about the action and im regard |to himself he would realize that the net that there is no present danger of the commis sion losing his services ix doubly gratitving to about every one in any way connected with or inverested in the proper management of the civil service laws, — MAN ON HORSEBACK. THE Secretary Smith Takes a Canter and Gets to Office Eat Mr. Hoke Smith, the Secretary of the In- terior, has brought up his saddle horse from | Atlanta, and this morning he ordered out the | horse and rode down to the department, He | did not come by the most direct route from his “home and so enjoyed a brief canter through the | spring-decked streets of the city. He intends | to get some fresh air every day in this wav and | office seekers world do well to form the habit | of horseback ri perhaps, it may happen that they. and the Secretary some | fine morning will chance to be going j in the same direction.

Secretary Herbert, while fully recognizing the value of Capt. Maban’s lit- | erary services, did not consider that they ex- | empted him from taking his reguler turn of sea service. - Death of Consul Taylor, A telegram was received at the State Depart- ment today announcing the death of Mr. Jas.

Secretary Carlisle was at the Treasury De- partmentat an eariy hour this morning, and | from the crowd of visitors which was present (in his room during the day it was apparent that the public was well acquainted with the fact of his return. The trip which he took was evidently beneficial to him, for he of care which was noticeable when he left the city. Probably the information which he ob- him and relieved him considerably. A Stan reporter asked him this morning whether, after looking over the condition of |the gold in the west and his conference with the New York bankers, there was anything to say regarding the’ financial _ situa Mr. Carlisle replied: “There is nothing state and the department is not anxious There is ity of gold which can be tiled rene, ciaded, “I made ze absolute arrangement while away for acceptance of any gold by the treasury." The Secretary said this in» tone of confidence, which was significant that the administration was well pleased with the present situation and felt that it could meet whatever demands ‘be made on it. WHO HOLDS THE GOLD? the west has more gold than the east is spoken of to the officials of the Treasury Department they meet the inquiry with smile, und the mistake appears to be that the | writer is not aware that at any time gold coin can be obtained for a gold certificate, A state- ment prepared by the controller of the cur- rency shows that the national benks in cities where there are subtreasuries 103,790,720 of gold, of which $37,667,114 is in gold coin, $61,188,610 is gold certificates and uries. In this statement it xppears that New York national bank» have $12,434,652 of gold coin and Chicago, $14,824,660. Bat of the gold certificates, which can be exchanged at any time for gold coin, New York hus £44,734,320 and Chicago but '€5,393,960, or a total’ of 65 72 for New York to $20,- 218,620 for Chicago. In connection with this it isa known fact, according to the last report of the director of the mint, thet private in- dividuals and private banking corpore- tions hold almost twice as much gold as the national banks, and most of this gold is in the east. This report shows that the national banks of the country hold €190,751,183 and the private firms £353,922,385. These ‘are figures that cannot be controverted. GOLD COIN AND BULLION IN THIS COUNTRY. At the end of each month the Treasury De- of the country. The statement given out on amount of gold coin and __ bullion in this country is €613,042.879. This result can be reached by two calculations. The total general stock of gold coin coined or issued is $582,513,105. The total amount of gold bullion, of which the government has the greater portion in the treasury, is $50,529 774, or a total of $613,042,879, as stated here. The other method b¥ which this result can be reached is by adding the gold coin im circulation, which is 410,759,520, to the gold coin im the treasury which is $121,753, 575, and the gold bullion of $80,527,774, giving the same total of $613,042,479. Beyond the fact that offers of gold still con- tinue and that the gold in the treasury in- creases each dav, there is nothing new in the situation. The daily statement — issued by the treasurer's office still shows the = reserve to be less than the 100,000,000 point by about £2,000,000; but this statement shows the condition at the close of business on Monday, and does not include some offers that have been accepted. The de- partment probably bas at ite command «litle over the 100,000,000, ———-2-—___ DISTRIBUTING THE VESSELS. What Disposition Will Be Made of the Ships in the Review. Orders bave been issued by the Navy De- partment for the detachment from the naval review fleet of the San Francisco, Charleston, Yorktown and Concord. These vessels are to be repaired and fitted out for immediate sea service. The San Francieco and Yorktown will be docked at New York and the Charleston and Concord at Norfolk. With the exception of the Concord, these vessels are intended for service on the Pacific station, and will be prob- ably ready to start on ‘the long course around the born in about two month. The Concord will be undoubtedly attached to the South Atlante station, and will probably accompany her sister ships as far south as Mon- tevideo. Nothing has been finally determined with regard to the disposition of the other ves- sels of the fleet. It is more than likely, however, that Tae | Star's predictions in this matter will be found to be correct. These were published while the fleet was at the rendezvous in Hampton Roads, and were an effect that the Chicago jand Atlanta will be retained on the |home ‘station; that the Philadelphia will Decome the flagship of the re-establisbed Eu- ropean station; that the Baltimore will succeed the Lancaster as the flagship of the Asiatic sta- tion.and that the Newark will be the flagship of the South Atlantic station. It as also considered practically settled that Admirai Gherardi will command the home sta- tion until he retires: that Admiral Benham will command the South Atlantic station and that either Admirals Belknap or Greer or Acting Admiral Walker will command the European station. —— THE COREAN fROUBLES, Advices Received Indicate That They Are Over for The Present.

Alert, in order that she might execute her original orders to join the Bering sea fleet. No trouble eccurred during the presence of the Alert, and affairs having resumed their usual peaceful state she, too, left there on the 29th ultimo and has since arrived t Shanghai. Her orders were to remain at Seoul as long as there was any indication of danger, and ber departure on the 29th instant | is taken as proof positive that the troubles are over for the present. —— McPherson on Finances and the Extra Ses- sion.
