WHY THE SUIT IS ABATED. CLEVELAND’S NEW CABINET. Many SuKKciti.uiM as to Who Will tto Klectetl When Olnc}- la Transferred. Washington, June ft.—The president has given no indication as to when ho will announce the changes in his offi cial family, and it is said that, granted he has determined on what changes are to be made, lie will not make the announcement for some time, out of re spect to tin* memory of Secretary Gresham. The name of Judge Moran, of Chi cago, which has been added to the list of possibilities for the otlioe of attor ney general, seems to have this basis of possibility behind it. Mr. J. \V. Doane, of Chicago, a prominet banker and vice-president of Pullman's Palace Car company, has been in Washington several days and is known to be a strong admirer of Mr. Moran. Mr. Doane was an intimate friend of Sec retary Gresham and accompanied the president and the cabinet to Chicago on tho Gresham funeral train. There have been some suggestions that Acting Secretary ITil, of the state department with whom the president was brought into close relations during the illness of Mr. Gresham, and who took Mr. Gresham's place at the cabi net councils during his illness, may receive promotion to a cabinet office. Mr. Phi was a leading member of the Michigan bar before his selection as assistant secretary of state. lie is a warm friend of Don M. Dickinsop.

Ills suc cessor will be promptly announced. Washington, June 5.—-Since January 1st the treasury department has lost within $10,000,000 as much gold as it gained by the sale of bonds to the llel- inont-Morgan syndicate. The gold lost —$55,102,000—was paid out in tin* re demption of I'nited States notes and treasury notes, and most, of these notes, at least 7-8, have been presented for redemption at New York City. Since the l>o!d Syndicate Was KIT* cl- it. On February 8th. the agreement with the Helmont syndicate went into I'l'eet and by its terms, the syndicate agreed to protect the treasury gold as much as possibly. Of the .$55, K'G.OOO lost since January tst, but - ft,(ioo.o(K) are chargeable between February sth ami June 1st. During the month of May, gold with drawn for redemption purposes has ag gregated $1,000,000, oral the rate of about $83,000 a day. For the lirst two days of June, the withdrawals amount ed to $101,000. These figures show, in the opinion of treasury oflieials that the i.elmont- Morgan syndicate is using all legiti mate efforts to protect the gold; hut they also show that more gold is being withdrawn than is required for ordi nary business purposes. The syndi cate has now fulfilled its contract with in $8,000,000, and it is said to b.- ahead of its payments. Tin: treasury gold re serve stands at siiy.150,000, and if with drawals in large amounts are not made for redemption purposes, when the OHO,000 owed hy the syndicate is paid in the gold reserve will foot up fullysTOO,- 000,000. Wimt the i-IlTecl Will Stc. What the effect will be upon the treasury after the expiration of the syndicate's contract is a subject that is not discussed at tin* treasury, but judg ing from tho past. th>* gold wiin- drawals will be much heavier than for the past four months and will material ly weaken the gold reserve. Aside from the gold received from the syndi cate during the past four mouths the treasury has had sever:*.! other nr.vs of supply. The gold received from cus toms has been light, not aggregatin ' one tenth of one per cent. From origi nal coinage the gold r* vived has ag gregated several million dollars, wiine in exchange for silver certitieab. of small denominations for several of the crops in the south and west, consider able gold h; s found its way into the treasury. I'nderthe treasury regula tion autliorizing the exchange of the World’s Fair souvenirs half dollar for gold, more than -70.000 has been re- eeived from this source. The supply of souvenir coin is fast being exhausted. The amount of paper money pre-ionted daily at the treasury for redemption in gold is now being watched with inter est. OLNEY, SECRETARY OF STATE.

Washington, June 5.—Though no official announcement has yet been made, the impression that Attorney (tenoral Olney will be transferred from the department of justice to the depart ment of state is so general in 1 ho be..', informed quarters that it is aeeep'ed :. a strong probability, or as one cabinet officer put it in a non-committal way, “An exceedingly likely guess.” The president may announce ids intentions in the matter at once or he may defer it to a late day. Mr. Olney, it is stated, will not accompany Mrs. Olney and Mrs. Cleveland on their journey to Mas sachusetts today, but may leave Wash ington for Falmouth, Mass., about thi- same time that the president starts foi Gray Gables, a week or ten day. lienee.
