Wasiiiwoton1 April 17. Tho suspen-
sion of tho Issue of gold certificates by
Secretary Carllslo recalls tho represent
ntions mado last July by the Judlclsrj
commlttco of tho house upon tho reso-
lution Introduced by Mr. Dockery ol
Missouri. Tho resolution Instructed
tho commlttco to Inquire nnd report
whether under the net to provide for
tho resumption of specio payments
tho secretary of tho treasury has the
right to uso tho proceeds of any
money In tho trensury arising from tho
sale of bonds or otherwise ns author-
ized under section 3 of said net for nny
of the purposes other thnn thoso men
tioned in said section 3. Tho majority
Bald: "Thero Is no limitation upon the
authority of tho secretary of tho treas-
ury to sell lionds for tho purposes of re-
demption under tho act of 1870 but tho
proceeds from such sales cannot 1w
used for other than redemption pur-
poses." They nlso said that it wns
the intention of congress to fix tho min-
imum amount of this reserved fund nt
1100000000 gold and gold bullion nnd
to maintain it nt that sum. Up to
and Including tho year 1691 tho total
amount of gold certificates Issued un-
der tho net of 18S2 wns 1109225000
nnd tho majority 'said: "Theso gold
ccrtlflcntcs could not have been lawful-
ly issued unless nt the time of Issuance
the reserve fund of 100000000 gold coin
nnd gold bullion was In tho treasury."
As to the replenishing of the reserve
fund In case of a diminution below the
sum of 1100000000 in tho absence of
nvaiiaulo surplus revenue by tho re-
demption of legal tenders tho commit-
teo'says that tho "sum should Ihj re-
stored from tho current coin receipts of
government not otherwise appropri-
ated nnd when such revenues nro
transferred to tho reserve fund they
nro not subject to bo used for nny other
purpoc."
Jlr. Itny of tho minority committee
submitted a report upon the resolutions
In which the operations of the treasury
under tho nets referred were shown at
constdcrablo length nnd with great de-
tail. The purposes of the laws were
also discussed nt considerable length
and the minority came to the following
conclusions:
Tint Tht there Is nothing ta tho resump-
tion act requiring the secretary ol tho treasury
to set iprt any reserve fund (or the redemp-
tion ot iho United States notes
Second That the only fund actually provided
for the redemption of United States notes L
the proceeds of the bonds sold from time to
time for redemption purposes and that such
proceeds may be used at any time for that pur-
pose hut for no other.
Third That tho power to sell bonds UU ex-
ists and Is limited only by the amount of United
States note outstanding less (ha proceeds of
bonds sold for that purpose and applied or now
on hand
. Fourth-Thai the secretary of tha treasury
bs no power to set apart or reserve or hold as

The Tfew Bread.
Tho favor with which tho nciV breaa
mndo with Roynl Halting Powder in-
stead of yeast has been received by
our best housekeepers and most expert
brcadmnkcrs is really wonderful. "It
saves all tho hard and tedious work of
knendlng nnd moulding" writes one.
"Less thnn on hour from the dry flour
to the most perfect loaf of bread I ever
saw" writes another. "Fresh bread
every day" snys another "and that
tho lightest finest and most whole-
some is something to live for." "We
relish tho bread better than the old
kind;" "It is ahead of nny yeast
bread I over baked;" "tho bread was
whiter nnd softer." "Rest of all"
writes an enthusiastic housewife; "we
can eat the Royal unfermented bread
when freshly baked or even when
warm with perfect Impunity. It is
actually an antl-dyspcptlc."
"This bread has a 'nutty' taste that
is peculiarly pleasing" writes still an-
other. This Is owing to tho fact that
tho actlvo gas-producing principlo of
the Royal Is derived from the pure
grape acid.
The great value of this bread arises
from tlio fact that In it nre preserved
nit tho most nutrltlvo elements of the
flour some of which nro decomposed
and destroyed by tho action of yeast.
The loss of these properties is what
makes fresh yeast bread unwholesome.
The uso of tho Royal linking Powder
instead of yeast is found to make n
finer lighter bread devoid of all dys-
peptic qualities. The same gas car-
bonic is produced as whero yeast is
used but It is evolved from the baking
powder itself and not from the flour.
Thereby tho brend Is mado more whole-
tuu:s and actually anti-dyspeptic. The
greater convenience where a batch of
tho finest bread can be made and baked
In less than an hour with no danger of
a sour or heavy loaf must be appre-
ciated by everyone.
Tho receipt for making this bread is
herewith given and housekeepers will
do well to cut it out and preserve It.
To mako one loaf' One quart floxr
1 teaspoontul salt half a teaspoonful

quiredmore or less according to the
brand and quality ot the flour used.
Do not make a stiff dough like yeast

WAsnixoTO.f April 19. Tho gold sit-

Treasury officials nro more confident
thnn they were twenty-four hours ngo
nnd lu the minds of nil the Impression
hns ftccomo stronger thnt It may not be
necessary for tho secretary to take any
action which will chnnge tho present
policy of tho department. This feeling
was said to bo duo to the fact that
tho announcement has practically been
mado that tho government will only
ns n last resource turn to the issu
anco of bonds. This firm and deter-
mined proposition of Mr. Carlisle has al-
ready had its bcneScinl effect nnd so
soon ns it becomes- known that tho sec-
retary of the treasury has seriously con-
sidered tho ndvisnbilltyof stopping tho
payment of gold coin for the treasury
notes Issued under act of July 14 1800
the situation will present n very differ
ent phase and the shipment of gold.
which is looked upon as a means of
forcing tho administration to issuo
bonds will como to an end.
Tho cabinet meeting yesterday was
devoted to some extent to considera-
tion of tho financial situation nnd It is
stated thnt tho secretary ot the treas-
ury will bo upheld in his advice to stop
for the present the payment in gold of
tho treasury notes. Under the silver
act of 1800 the government Is compelled
to purchase each month 4 .'.00000 ounces
of stiver nnd nt tho sainu timo issue
notes for the bullion received.
There is at present outstanding
of these notes 180000000 nnd
they are being constantly redeemed
in gold at the Xew York sub-treasury.
The redemption in gold of theso notes
has been a matter of accommodation
on the part of the treasury department
ns tho law gives the secretary of the
trrasury the discretion as to whether
they will be redeemed in gold or silver.
Now that the gold balance has been re-
duced the secretary' f tho treasury Is
considering the advisability of using
his discretion and paying these notes
in silver. The second section of tho
silver act reads as follows:
Sec 2. That tbe trcasur notes lsaued In ac-
cordance with tho prorlilaaa of this act ahsU be
redeemable on demand la coin at the treasury ol

It Has rleca Redneed to it Low febh l
Trennnry - Important Conferenco )-
tween the t'rra.dent and secretary CrJ
ll.le.
Wahiiisotos April 18. The policy
to be pursued by tho treasury depart-
ment regarding the financial situation
was probably determined nt ft consult
tlon held yesterday between Secre-
tary Carlisle nnd President Cleveland.
All efforts to learn the result of tho
conferenco have thus far failed. Secre-
tary Carllslo absolutely declined
to outline his future financial no-
tion preferring to await tho ar-
rival of tho emergency before in-
dicating what ho would dp. It will bo
remembered that when Mr. Cnrllslo as-
sumed the control of tho treasury do-
partment tho free gold wns reduced to
a very small figure. Tho officials feel
that it .Mr. Carlisle wns able to meet
the demand at that time he can do so
again. tp
In tho order of the secretary on Sat-
urday directing that no more certifi-
cates le Issued at present Mr. Carllslo
Is considered to have taken an excel-
lent precautionary measure antl ttr
action Is generally coramendod.
There nro three things which can be
done cither bonds can be Issued the
gold rcscrvo utilized to suclr- a point
that It is not considered advisable to
utilize any moro of It or tho coin cer-
tificated might bo paid in silver dollars
instend of gold ns Is now done. It is
thought thnt if tho present month
can bo tided over that tho financial
situation will assume a different
appearance. Jlnt of tho spring im-
portations have been made and
travel of foreigners to this country will
be begun. Tlio number of persons who
usually go abroad each summer will bo
greatly reduced on account of tho
world's fair ar-' or the other hand citi-
zens of foreign countries are expected
to visit this country In largo numbers
nud will undoubtedly spend n great"
deal of money while hero. This It is
believed will readjust the balanco of
trade.
If Uic predictions and beliefs of soma
of tho treasury ofllclals is fulfilled tho
gold shipments will probably ccaso by
the end of the month and the amount
of free gold in the treasury again in-
crease. The treasury department was
advised this afternoon that during tho
day (1750000 in gold had been" with-
drawn from the New York sub-treasury
for shipment to Europe by
steamer sailing- to-morrow. The
day began with $1750000 free
gold In tho treasury. Deducting
tho amount taken out thcro is now left
$10500 of free gold in the treasury.
Treasury ofUclnla arc encouraged to
hope that on Saturday the next ship-
ping day tho free gold may bo Increased
to a sufllclent wa to meet the export
demnnd. Jlr. Jordan Is expected to as-
sume charge of the Mib-treasury next
Wednesday and his well known re-
tKmnxs nro expected to show in the in-
crease) of gold holdings.

CROCODILE EGGS.
A Great .Delicacy Amone tha Indians ot
South America.
Crocodile eggs nre considered a great
delicacy by tho Indians of Orinoco who
roast them in hot nshes just before
they nre ready to hatch. They have a
white skin like parchment yielding to
the touch when handled yet so tough
that It Is quite difllcult to break them.
They are about tw Ice the size of a tur-
key egg and the Indian who likes them
need never go hungry dnring tho croeo-
dilo's breeding season for tltcy are ex-
ceedingly plentiful. Ench femnle croc-
odile will lay on an average forty eggs.
These she deposits In a hole In the
sand leaving thens to oc hatched by
the hot sun.
Despite her generally wicked ways
nnd Ind reputation for general cussed-
ncss tho female crocodile exhibits In a
vnriety of wnys a strength of maternal
tenderness that Is surprising. After
depositing her eggs in tho nest she
carefully covers them with sand to save
hem from the Ichneumon and various
reptiles who prey upon them and who
succeed In finding largo nutnWrs of
them in spite of her care. Then when
tho period of Incubation In over sho re-
turns with infallible instinct nnd nsslsts
them in their first efforts to get on in
the world.

If the secretary determines to take
advantage of the discretion given him
by law it will bo a more dilHcnlt mat-
ter for New York brokers to obtain the
gold for shipment ns the stoppage of
the payment on tho gold certificates
nnd the treasury notes would leave
them less upon which gold could be ob-
tained. The sub-treasury in Xew York
at the end of each month makes a re-
port to tho department here showing
the amount of treasury notes that have
been redeemed in gold. In the reports
of the ways nnd means committee on
tho condition of the treasury up to
January 31 189.1 n table is given which
shows thnt tho sub-treasury has re-
deemed the following nmountsof treas-
ury notes in gold eaeh month since
June 1603:
July $3103300; August MOID000;
September 1759000; October ?2J4S00j
November fKO.OOOj December 43Co-
00 nnd January lb03 tl 438000 or a
total of f21130c.UO of trensury notes re-
deemed In gold for tho ptst seven
months mentioned. For February and
March it Is said tho redemption has
averaged W000000 each month. From
this it will le seen that a large amount
of gold can be saved to the government
and at tho same timo the Inability
ot broken) to obtain gold for these notes
will cut off one of their most ample
means of obtaining them ns It Is said
that this class of notes hns been largely
presented by Jcw York bankers In ex-
change for gold.
It Is said that the continued redemp-
tion of these notes in gold is bound to
result in tho driving out of all tho gold.
For it Is apparent that tho condition
was such that gold wns tieing paid out
through the medium of the treasury
notes for the silver bullion sold. As a
former treasury oSlclal explained It to
a reporter tho principle Is the same as
though one had glass partially tilled
with water with n layer or surface of
oil. "If one would continue to pour In
water the oil would finally be forced
out." In this case tho water represents
the silver and tho oil tho gold nnd tlio
continual purchase of tho whlto metal
und tho giving out of It for gold has
brought nbout this result
There is n feeling among some men
who have been prominent lu financial
circles that should Secretary Carlisle
issue an order stopping this redemption
that it would approach something of a
sensation but thoso who oro best posted
claim that nothing ot the kind woufil
result and still insist that if it became
appurent that Secretary Carlisle was to
