It Has Reached the Very Lowest Point Today. SPECIAL CABINET MEETING To Be Called on Monday to Discuss the Con- dition of the Treasury—An Opinion on the Right to Issve Bonds Expected From the Attorney General. oo It is understood that the question which will be discussed at the special meeting of the cabi- net to be held on Monday morning will be that of the condition of the treasury. The shipments of gold from New York today amount to $1,500,000, which, deducted from the gold reserve, as stated this morning on the treasurer's books, leaves the balance at $89,981,217, the lowest point that has ever been reached. During the past week the shipments have amounted to $6,700,000, including the €200,0 which went to Canada. Now that the shipments have aguin begun to be heavy the subject comes before the adminis- tration as one of no little concern, for should this rate of gold export continue it would not be long before the reserve would be reduced to ‘8 figure that would be uncomfortably small. At the cabinet meeting it is believed that the Attorney General will render an opinion on the bond question, as to the right of the adminis- tration to issue them, at lawful interest, without action by Congress. Solicitor General Aldrich drew up an opinion on this question which Attorney General Miller adopted, deciding that such a vourse could be pursued, and it is intimated that Mr. Olney will also hold to this judgment. Just before the close of the last Congress the judiciary committee of the House made & report on the bond question, which was to the effect that the Secretary of the Treasury had no right to use the gold reserve except for tho redemption of specie, and further that if it became absolutely necessary to invade the reserve it was the duty of the Secretary to reimburse the reserve as soon as possible by the issuance of bonds or some other means. At that time it was the understanding that Secretary —_Carlisl who was then a Senator, was in accord with the views expressed in the report. It would seem that the agitation of the bond question was to be resumed. ——___-e-+______ EXAMINER GREELEY. He is Not Now in Charge of the Patent Office Exhibit. Mr. A. P. Greeley of the patent office, who has been in charge of the patent office exhibit at the world’s fair since last spring. has been detached from that duty and has returned to Washington to resume his duties as a principal examiner. Messrs. Hains and Wilkinson have been ordered to take charge of the exhibit for the present. It is understood that Mr. Greeley’s detach- ment was rather of @ summary nature and that he may be called before Commissioner bea Asa for fees ee It is said that the original plan at Chi- cago in charge’ of the exhibit, thie idea was abandoned and it was de- cided to send different examiners there from time to time in relays. It is understood that some friction arose over the change in the plan, which resulted in Mr. Greeley's recall. These 1s no criticism upon Mr. Greeley’s management, it is believed, and the whole matter will probably be dropped after Mr. Greeley's interview with the commis- sioner. a THE WASHINGTON ASYLUM. No Investigation of Mr. Stoutenbough Or- dered or Contemplated. As stated in Tue Stan of yesterday the Com- missioners have not nor do they contemplate ordering an investigation of Intendent Stout- enburg of the Washington Asylum. When the petition signed by several prom- inent business men requesting this in- vestigation was handed to the Commissioners oue of the gentlemen was asked what interest he had in the matter. His reply was that he had none and had only signed the petition at the request of his friend, Mr. Kirby, who is an an applicant for Mr. Stoutenburg’s place. In the meantime things at tho Washington asylum are going on regularly. Yesterday afternoon Commissioner Parker, without the knowledge of anyone, drove ont to the hospital and looked about.’ He found things. all running smoothly and the place _ looking finely. The representative of Taz Stan asked each of the Commissioners today if an investigation had been ordered, and the reply from each one was that not only had it not been ordered but was noteven contemplated. The only charges before the Commissioner reflecting upon Intendant Stoutenburg, they said, had been investigated by the board of visitors composed of men whose honesty could not be impuned, and they had found the charges groundless, aa aaetes Color of the Warshi ‘The color of the warships is still engaging the serious attention of the naval authorities.

Rapid progress is being made at the navy yard in the construction of great guns. Today the jacket was placed upon the breech of a thirteen-inch rifle, the fifth of these large cali- bers now in course of construction for the new battle ships. The first two are nearing com- pletion rapidly and it is expected that they will be ready for # proof trial at Indian Head in « short time. —__—____-2-____ These Wantto Be Bank Examinors.

NO SHADY METHODS WILL BE TOLERATED—NoT ;CRETIVE ABOUT THE AFFAIRS OF HIS OFFICE THAT THE PUBLIO HAVE A RIGHT To KNOW aBour. “Cleveland's man Eokels,” whose appoint- ment as controller of currency caused so much surprise and criticism on account of his lack of experience, is proving more of » surprive than was dreamed of. The indications are that he is going to proves pretty good find for the administration. “He has been in his place long enough,now to show something of the sort of man he is, He is overcoming his inexperience rapidly. It is evident that he is not a politician, aud he is 80 conspicuously different from any- thing else the administration has shown up that it would be apparent, if it were not already known, that he wasan accident. If he does not make things hum in his office it will be strange. Ho is one of the busiest, most direct and clean cut little men who has been tossed into the public service by the political evolu- tion. There is nothing “striking” about his appearance; nothing impressive. He is both short and slender, weighing scarcely more than abundred pounds, and bas « little wizened face free from all signs of beard or mustache. It would be impossible to tell his age by look- ing at him. POSITIVE AND FRANK. His movements are quick, and when he looks up there isa look of intelligence and penetra tion on his face. When he speaks there is a positiveness and s frankness in his manner that Tefreshing. Some of the gentlemen doing a shady dy bunklag busines who fea calculated on ing from his inexperienee have Say Sas as they bave struck. Custom has decreed that about the business of this office there should oppressive air of secrecy. This custom pepe to decay since he entered. the office. He appears to have confidence enough in him- self to know that he is not going to make pub- lic what ought not to be known, and therefore about all matters of public interest in the office he speaks with great freedom and frankness. By this manly, straight- forward course he has got to be the favorite of newspaper mon. This does not mean that he isablabber. It is merely that heis not ‘annecee- sarily secretive and is not ufilicted with that official pomposity which makes so many of the new “public servants” proachable. He does not have to stop and pucter up his mouth and wrinkle his brow and pretend to think for half an hour before anawering a simple tion. He —— saver to the man w paper is ress, and be says is Knows to be fital andl reliable.” He gots af the meat of a business proposition in short order. THE CAPITAL BANE MAY RESUME. President Wilson and T. J. Dougherty, the cashier of the Capital Bank of - Indianapolis, which closed its doors recently, bad a long interview with Controller Eckles this morn- ing. It was apparently a satisfactory one, as the information was given out that the bank would probably resume within two weeks. There wal be a partial reorganization of officers and a change made in the clerical force, having s sound financial A BANRING CIRCULAR. Controller Eckles is determined that bank directors shall know the obligations they as- sume when they become such, and with that object in view hee had circular printed Seeeeenaee mata copy of this otealnr will be forwarded to each director. It also contains the penalties pre- scribed for neglect of duty. Controller Eckles says he will endeavor to make bank directors understand that they aro liable under the law for the fulfillment of their duty to stockholders and depositors. Ber temas AN INTERESTING SESSION. Senator Lodge Thinks Congress Will Meet About October 1. Senator Lodge of Massachusetts is in the city today looking over the plans for the repair of his new house, which he will occupy this winter. He has been out to Chicago and isa member of the committee investi- guting immigration, which has been at work in New York. He says that there isa great deal of interest being developed by the immigra- tion investigation. Of course, the great mase of testimony taken is uninteresting and more or less important. But out of it may be gathered some valuable information for Con- gress, He says that there is no doubt that the importation of laborers under contract is still very extensive, but that there seems to be no way of guarding against it absolutely. Senatvr is looking for a very interesting session of Congress, which he believes will be- gin about the Ist of October. He thinks that there wiil more interest, earnestness and determination in the fight over silver than any other question programmed to come up. The strongest way in which to sent the proposition for the repeal of the Sher- law is, in bis opinion, to present itas a singlo question not incumbered by anything else. To couple with it the proposition for the repeal of the state bank tax would love to at most of the republican votes, whereas it would have, it is estimated, about 120 of the votes of republicans in the House for it if presented alone. Mr. Lodge has much greater confidence of the repeal of the Sherman law ne House than he bas of similar action by ido: Bosalert TaltusiBeastentt a ecueeeel that ten or twelve republicans will vote against repeal, and it is problematical how many democrats theadministration will be able to influence to vote for the repeal, WEST POINT GRADUATES. Considerable Dimeuity Found in Provi for All This Year's Class. The authorities of the War Department will find considerable difficulty in providing for all of this year's class of graduates at the Military Academy. An examination of tho situation shows that there will probably be a lack of places for three or four of the graduates, unless they ate made additional second lieutenants, pend- ing vacancies inthe army. The graduating class numbers fifty-two persons, and there are but forty-five vacancies in the’ infantry, cav- alry and artillery, and but one in the engineer corps. It is probable that some officers will be retired in order to provide places for the entire class. US ee THE WAYSON PERJURY CASE. ‘The Demurrer of the Defendant Overruled by Judge McComas: In the case of George W. Wayson this after- noon argument was heard in the Criminal Court, division 2, by Justice McComas, J. V. L. Findley appearing for defendant and Assistant District Attorney Taggart for the government. Wayson was formerly an examiner and assistant chief of the mn office and was a witness before a com- tte of the House investigating that bureau, and it as alleged that he falsely testified before that committee that he had not written letter making charges against one Wilcox whereas such fetter was, produced. He was for this indicted for perjury and a demurrer was filed, and it was argued that the indictment did not ‘sufficiently charge the offense. The court overruled the demurrer.

Cabinet Officers in Rivalry With Democratic State Leaders. THE PATRONAGE QUESTION. Some Are Said to Be Endeavoring to Build Up « Party for Themselves Either in Their State or in the County — Congress- men Not Pleased. a Some of Mr. Cleveland’s cabinet officers have Been very prompt to get into rivalry with the democratic leaders of their states, and there ap- pears tobe a great deal of trouble ahead. Gresham, occupying the peculiar relatiovs to the party he does, and being indifferently citizen of Indiana or Illinois, is probably the only one, except Olney, who is free from en- tanglements. Herbert, coming directly out of the House, where he enjoyed the friendship of all the Alabama delegation, has no serious rival- ries before him, and is not supposed to be building up any personal party for himself at home. Morton is accused of trying to control all the appointments for Nebraska, in opposi- tion to the other recognized democratic leaders, and is said to be trying to build up a personal party jn the state on the strength® of his posi- tion. fsa good deal of a row over the matter locally. ‘THE EMPIRE STATE OFFICES.

Secretary Hoke Smith today began the hear- ing of a celebrated land case which involves several million dollars in value of the land at issue. The struggle is between the Northern Pacific Railroad Company and about 1,500 set- tlers on the lands in the state of Washington. The settlers united to make common cause, ‘against the railroad company and employed J. H. Lewis of Seattle and Thayer and Rankin of this city to fight their battle for them, while the railroad company brought out ite big gan in the person of James McNaught, the general counsel for the road, who will be assisted by | trial. Mr. W. K. Mendenhall. Secretary Hoke Smith, who is a law- yer for love of his profession and who finds the joy in « contest that the Viking found in battle, seemed to be in his element this morning and entered into the case with vigor.

The case excites great a in ters to suit themselves without much reference | U1 to the wishes of the two Senators and the dele- gation in the House. There will no patronage used for the express purpose of building up the Hill party in the empire state. Hoke Smith stands out against the whole Georgia delegation, except one Senator, claim- ing the right to dictate, or at least to pass judgment on all the appointments in that state. He is trying to reorganize the party there and to be the leader. Carlisle has no special quarrel with his dele- gation on account of his trying to dictate, but there is « fight in every district over patronage, and he is kept on his tiptoes to balance betwoen the pulling and hauling of the two factions. His ambition is not to build up « Carlisle party in Kentucky, where he isalready strong enough, but he is making pretty good progress toward getting a strong Carlisle faction in the party of the whole country. All along the line there is a considerable pull- ing and hauling, and the democratic statesmen in Congress are using strong language to ex- press their conviction that a man holding office by appointment shoule not control the patron- age of his state, over the heads of the elected representatives of the great, free and inde- pendent office-seeking public. ee ELECTRIC LIGHT WIRES.
