from Washington says; 'The Secretary
Of the Treasury authorizes your cores
pondent explicitly to deny all published
statements regarding an alleged deficit
in the Treasury. There is and has been
no deficit of dollar or cent. The Sec
retary has no statement to make other
than the official monthly statements,
which are responsible representations of
the condition of the public finances,
1t iss officially denied that the Peace
Commissioners or the interior Depart
ment furnished the Sioux with breach
leaders or other arms. Any weapons
that they may have mnst have been fur
nished by traders. The officials regret
that the friendship of the Pawnees for
the whites should excite the hostility of
the Sioux, but it is not thought the Gov
ernment will interfere further than to
endeavor to keep peace among the tribes.
Ire fact that the army uses Pawnees as
scouts, it is thought, may Intensity the
hostility of the Sioux.

overflowing. When Butler appeared
upon the platform he was greeted with
three cheers, feebly given. and a volley

NRW YORK.
| While the laborors were pulling
down building on West Eleventh
street, near Hudson street, the walls
fell. killing four men instantly and
| wounding nine others so severely that
| they are not expected to recover.
| A statement is now made that Kate
StOddard's confession. published some
time ago, accusing herself of being the
murderess of Charles Goodrich was po-
lice fiction to delude the alleged MUIR
| derer Roscoe into the belief that the
woman Stoddard stood accused and
condemned herself to save him from
justice. The so called confession was
put forth kby Commissioner johnson
and Ex-Chief of Police Campbell, of
Brooklyn.
About fifty passengers, mostly wom-
| en- and children, were bruised and cut
by the accident on the South Side Rail-
road, Long Island. though no one was
seriously injured.
| Some one who affects to know gives
this story in connection with the Good
rich murder, the interest in which has
been revived by the recent action of the
police authorities; Kate Stoddard, when
| she was known by her true name. Bet
sey King, went to school where there
| were four young Spaniards, and one of
them was called Roscoe. She was at
tached to the young man and before
she disappeared from her parents abode
/ was regarded as bis betrothed. She is
said to have renewed this acquaintance
in New York, and this, too, at the time
when Charles Goodrich appeared upon
the scene. This Roscoe is probably one
to whom Lucette Myers points as the
one who killed Goodrich for robbino
him of the affections of Kate Stoddard.

nicipal corporations, Independent of the
