TBE FINANCIAL SITUATION.
(Statement of the Situation From
Secretary Carlisle.
$740,000,000 Gold in tho Country
Digest of Washington
Notts of tho Day.
Washington, April 21. Secretary
Carlisle has made the followiug state
ment regarding the financial situatien:
On the exercise of tbe discretionary
power conferred upon the secretary of
the treasury by the act of July 14, 1S90,
ho has been paying gold for coin
treasury Dotes Issued for tbe
purchase of silver bullion and be will
continue to do so as long as he has gold
legally available for the purpose. Un
der thlB process, the government has
been and now is paying gold for silver
bullion and storing silver in the vaults,
where it is useless for any purpose of
circulation or redemption as iron, lead
or any other commodity of tbe govern
ment. In the first place, be Issues a
coin treasury note in paying for silver
bullion, and then the coin treasury note
is presented at tbe sub-treasury and
gold paid out for it, so tbe effect Is pre
cisely tbe same as if gold was paid out
directly for silver in the first instance.
About HOU,uuu or goiu wmcu was
withdrawn from -tbe sub-treasury
lost Tuesday for shipment
abroad was paid out on these
oin treasury notes. No order was
made to stop the payment of gold upon
these notes, nor was anyone authorized
to say such an order wou id be issued.
The purpose of the. government to pre
serve its own credit unimparea ana
maintain the parity of tbe two metals
by all lawful means will not be aban
doned under any circumstances.
In view of existing legislation the
only question for consideration is as to
tbe measure tbat ought to be adopted to
insure tbe accomplishment of these
purposes and upon this question, there
is, of course, room for wide differences
of opinion.
The total stock of gold coin and gold
bullion now in the country, including
what is held by tbe. treasury, as well as
what is held by banks and individuals,
amounts to about (740,000,000. Free
(rold In the treasury now amounts to
85,000. Arrangements aro now In
progress by wmcu more goia is to oe
Drocured from the West. There 4s gold
enough In tbe country to meet all re
quirements of tbe situation, and if all
wuo aro realty inreresieu iu iuhimibiu
ing a sound and staple currency would
assist the secretary of tbe treasury to
tbe extent of their liabilities, existing
difficulties would soon be at an end.
Washington, April 21. senator

WALL STREET DISSATISFIED.
Carlisle Has Failed to Take a
Bold Stand.
BANKERS CANNOT COMPREHEND HIM
But lEopo tho Country Will
Weather tho Storm.
New York, N. Y.f April 21. Secre
tary Carlisle's statement on gold situa
tion was a general toplo of conversation
on Wall street this afternoon. It is not
favorably received on tbe ground tbat
it is felt to be indefinite. Most bankers
seen expressed themselves unable to
comprehend the secretary's intention
in reference to treasury notes. Bussell
Sago said this merning: "I believe
tbat If people do not lose their heads we
shall weather the storm and tbat tbe
currency question will eventually be
arranged satisfactorily. It is a pity,
however, that Secretary Carlisle doe?
not take a bold stand upon the subject
and give us an Idea what be intends to
do."

Sing Bino, April 21. Rohieand Pal
lister, murderers, under death sentence
escaped from prison last night. Both
men were under sentence to be electro
cuted soon. Last night when the
guard Hulse passed supper In to Pallls
ter, tho condemned man, he threw a
handful of pepper into the guard's eyes
Hulse was blinded and Pallister rushed
on him and took bis revolver away and
forced Hulse into Palllstgrjfl cell, first
taking his keys from him. He then
locked Hulse lu the cell, unlocked the
cell of murderer Frank Rohle. The
two murderers unlocked the cells of
Carlyle W. Harris and murderer Os
mund, and invited these two to escape
with them. Both Harris and Osmund
refused.
A brother of Roehl urrlved ten days
ago from Europe with f7,000 which
Roebl inherited. It is believed the
brother assisted the men to escape. It
is also believed that Harris' refusal to
take advantage of tbe opportunity for
escape will have bo mo weight with the
governor in deciding his cose.

An Englishman Sat Upon.
New York, April 21. There was an
exciting time at tho meeting of the
stockholders of the Nicaragua Canal
company caused by George C. Knight,
an ex-employe of the company, who
claims to repiesent a vast interest fa
English capital, and who earnestly de
sires to remove Warner Miller as presi
dent of the company and have the pro
ject entirely re-orgaulzed. Knight de
clared tbe money of tho canal company
was wasted in useless salaries aud in
gotting up canal conventions in various
parts of the country, which merely
furnished jnnketlng expeditions for tbe
officers. Warner Miller illegally bad
himself elected president of the com
pany. He proposed Bnilth W. Weed
as successor to Miller, The latter, be
estimated, would be acceptable to tbe
parties because of the peculiarly happy
connections which Weed had with the
present administration at Washington.
Knight read a schemo for an entire
ly new canal company to be organized
both under tbe English and American
charters which would complete tho
canal. Weed arose at I ho conclusion
of Knight's speech and said ho bad
come to the meeting to protest against
tbo use of bis name in any way with
the movement whioh Knight said he
was engineering. Turning to Knight
he said: "Your statements iu reference
to the company and its management
are every single one untrue." Ho said
he protested in the name of President
Cleveland against the imputation that
it needed a man of tbo president's polit
ical faith to present the canal matter
to tbe administration. Ho denied
tbat Miller was Illegally elected presi
dent of the company. He closed by
saying tbe American people would
uoyer permit the English govern
ment to have a Joint interest In tbe
canal. No action was taken.
Cuban Sugar Crops.

continues favorable for sugar-grinding
operations. Several estates uave al

tbe others do not expect to continue be
yond tbe 25th Inst., tub uevibta act
Aerlcultura states that tbe estimate of
a decrease of 20,000 tons in tbe sugar
crop to now confirmed, and it la very
doubtful whether the production will
equal the yield of 820,000 tons of 1891.
According to tbe Bulletln-Comuier-eial

"Several of our principal planters are
endeavoring to obtain from the ware
house companies and managers not
only a reduotlon of storage rates, but
also an arrangement by whioh those
charges and insurance and weighing
expenses shall be paid by tbo producer,
and not by the purohaser, as has here

ThIsschome,lt Is claimed, would attract
to Havana a large quantity of sugar
which could bo disposed at tbe same,

other outport markets, notwithstand
