The committee del ted Dr. Port: and Herr Bebel to confer with Ahlwardt pri- v, but the conference did not result in Ahlwardt declining to withliraw from the attitude he had taken. Dr. Portsch subsequently told the committee that he and Herr Bel had vainly tried to show Ahlwardt that certain of his charges were impossible; that the Disconto schaft could not have taken 35 par the money advanced to construct the Rou- manian railway: Herr Bebel added that the task of couvin- cing Ahlwardt of the ervor of his caarges in counection with th» Disconto Geselschafy 1s impossible, because ha seemal to bo ig- norant of the radiments of arithmetic and could neivher understand acconnts nov grasp the real bearing of the documeats he nal submitted to the Reichst: Herr Pickenbach, an anti-Semite, declared that he had hoped for the best for Ahlwardt, but he could nolonger believe a word he said.

Dz, Lieber's reference to this circumstance was, infamous The chairman of the committee called hlwardt to order. he latter repeated the expression that Dr. Lieber's words were infamous, where- upon the whole committes aross. Ahlwardt hurled abasive epithats at them collectively and finally left the committee room, shout- ing out that he would not remiia to be in- sulted. He then rushed into the lobby, where he told a group that the committes would next declare him mad. The commit- tee briefly passed the report afirming that all the charges were baseless. Deaspite the exposure Ahlwardt will addrass a mesting of anti- ites tonight at the Germania rooms. Half fool and half knave, he still commands the faith of muany thousands of Germans Dr. Miquel propases to bring a criminal action against him and the Reichstug may revive a disused law antexoel him.

WasmiNgrox, D.C., April 20. -No better indications of the restorel confidence in the financial situation is necessary than the fact that no gold exports were made from New York today aud it does not appear now that uny large amount will zo out on Tuesday and perhaps none at all. The plain statement made to the New York bankers by Mr. Carlisle appears to have al- layed the npprehension that existed. Gold offers continue to be made, the lust city to offer ussistance being Little Rock, Ark., which sends 81,000,000, the gold to be exchanged for legal tenders All these offers are being ac- cepted, and, 1if necessary, can be called for by the Treasuey department at any moment, but until the exchange is act- ually made the free gofd does not appear on the treasury’s daily statement, which ac- counts for the fact that the books of the de- partmont show only §05000 of free goid, al- though the amount waldh Secretary Car- lisle could raise is probibly over 32,000,000 The statement of Secretary Carlisle that “every effort of the administration will be exerted in the direction of the reveal of the Sherman law" is regagded here as an anti- silver edlet, and the announcement has aroused and placed on the wlert the free silver men. The latter assert that they are ready for the battle, and everything prom- a lively silver fightin the next congress. w York is no longer the gold center of the country so far as the gold in national banks is concerned,” remarked a prominent treasury officizl this evening. “'She has been playiug a great game of bluff and try ing to impress the world with the fact that she can embarass or relisye the present situ- ationas she pleases. As a matter of fact there is less goid in the national banks of New York than Chicago,and the gold center s west of the Alleghenies. Mr. Carhisle is now in Chicago, where the gold really is, and wili hold conferences with leading vankers there.” On March 6, last, the comptroller of the currency called for reports from all nationsl banks as to the amount of gold on hand. As between New York and Chicago, the reports show the wmount of gold held to be: New York, $12,438,652; Chicago, #14,524,606. This brings out the important fact that the de- mands which have been made by the New York bankers during the recent crisis were largely in the nature of bluffs As between the west and the east, the former hus $4,000,000 of gold in its national banks, while the east has only $39,000.000. Mr. Eckel's reports show that icago is the first of fifteen large western cities which have stocks of gold, while New York is the first of eight lurge eastern cities with large supplies of | gold. Thus the western it outrank the eastern voth in number and in amount of wold car- ried. The we: es are also ahend of the east s in their supply of gold. “The reports made to the comptroller do not cover the supplies of geld held by priv dividuals, pri cs or state banks.

[Copyrighted 1973 by Janes Gordon Bennatt.y Panis, April 20 (New York Herald Cable pecial to Tue Bee) -As | have had reason to state, the trip of Emperor William to Rome will cause no change in the politiea? condition of Kurope. The kaiser returns from the Eternal City and everything re- maius in the same state as before, “The most important incident of his journey | was, perhaps, the toast of the Grand Duke | Viadimir. After the speech of the emperor, spoken in German at tho oficial baaquet, Grand Duke Viadnur, who was seatod be- | side: Mme Billot, the wife of the French ambassador, said in a loud tone: | “Idrvink to the prosperity and glory of your beautiful country.” All those at the table heard the which produced a great effect. The sentence wis spoken by command of the czar, in order to prove in 4 manner differing from a diplomatic note, that nothing had been changed the understanding between France and Russia sntence, hey Disenssed Genoralities, I have been able to leara from a source absolutely certain that the subjects of the interviews between the emperor and the pope were confined to generalities on the part of both, cach desiving to avold any- thing that might oblige them to speak on burning topics. The emperor wuas very charming, as he knows how to be when he He told the pope that he was filled with respect for him and was always ready to follow h The pope called him at first “sire,” but at the end said “my son,” although it is not his custom to so address protestants. He said: “Oune of the duties of the church is to di- rect the laboring masses,” and he added: One of the duties of sovereigns is to be concerned about the greatest good of the greatest number, and to try and better the condition of unfortunate, which is more im- vortant than to increase the number of the army corps.” The emperor then spoke of war and of the necessity of monarchies to paturally pro- tect ch other. He declared that the triple alliance was not an instrument of at- ‘tack, but & means of defense, and added that if the triple alliance should be dee stroyed the pope might run risks. The pope rveplied: “I offer this possible us a sacrifice to the good of Chris- wishe: counsels, Each Impressed the Other. The apeakers made a profound impression oneach other. The emperor was visibly moved. On hus departure the pope spoke a long time of the cmperor with his prelates who surrounded hin and said. M1t is strange how monarchs have fears afavar,” The impression on the prelates who saw the pope after the interview with the em- peror, and after the audience granted to Baron M hal von Biberstein is that the political situation in Europe is graver and 'rtain than ever. But 1 repeat, the greatest iwmpression from the Roman celebrations on Kuropean divlomdts 1s due to the language of Grand Duke Viadimir, May Day fins No Terrors. In no country of Kurope is there much fear of the advent of May 1. Perhaps in some towns. composed largely of working people, there may be some cessation of work, but with the exception of Italy and the south of Spain there will be no secrious trouble. Nothing is feared in Paris. The prefect of police, whom 1 'asked if he ap- ended any trouble on Monday, replied: The first of May will be the day following the 30th of April. That isall. tle Interestiog In the Salon, Today was rnishing day at the salon. The general impression of vhe salon is thas itis much inferior to former exhibitions. Especially is it remarked that there is no visible tendency in the efforts of French sinters. Some make s point of realism, others tend toward idealism, but there is no great general effort in one direction or the other. As in each year, there is much talent, but not a si extraordinary work, and not one new effort of genius. It would be a very ng task to paint a picture which would prove attractive to the mass of the public. The medal of houor will be contosted for by Henuer, who has always the same ro painti and de Roybet, who ds a large historic picture, too dark, too much constructed on conventional lines, and another painting recalling the great art of the Flemish school. I cannot really find anything else deserving of mention, The sculpture itself, with the exceptivn of a statue by Falguicve, has little Interest. One should not infer, however, that French art is retrograding The exposition of the Chawp de Mars, which, opens on May 10, will be worthy of note.

Pas, April [New York Herald Cable Special tv Tue Bee]—Carl Guthers, a Swiss-American artist and art director of the American Ladies Art association, has just completed for the World's fair a por- trait of Marchioness Dufferin and Ava, It is now on view at the Sedelmeyer gallery before being dispatched to the United States. The picture is well composed, and the general effect is harmonious. The mar- chioness is represeuted seated in a Louls Quinze chair wearing a rich robe of white satin and gold brocade. Oun her head is a diadem of brilliants and other precious stones, and on her breast numerous orders. It will doubtless attract much attention in Chicago. - ts of Ocean Steamers April 20, Passed —La Champagne, from Arrived —New York, Movew At ard ow York At _Southampton from New Y At Brow Head New York Arrived—Kron Pring Frede- At Gibralter rich Wilhelm, from New York, Passed—Aurania, from
