WAsuINaroN, July 1.-The Secretary
of the Interior has telegrnphed to one Of
the powerful chiefs in Southern Colo
rado, requesting him to allow Prof.
Hnyden's exploring expedition to pass
through that section without molesta-
ton. The Secretary informs him that
Hayden's mission is one in the interest
of science md for the benefit of the Co.
vernmcnt, and not for hostile purposes;
that none of tho party will molcst or in
terfere with the Indians, and the Co

work OF counting the money and securi-
ties in tho vaults of the Treasury De-
partment have completed the count in
the cash vault, including all the green
backs, fractional currency, gold and sill
yer coin, and nickcls, and are now en-
gagged in the reserve vault, which will be
finished this week The count of the
bonds held in trust for national banks
Will then be made, after which the COM
mlttce will take up the books and exa-
mine them thoroughly to see that they
agree with the amounts on hand. They
WILL be prepared to make their report in
about tea days. Up to this time, the
difference in the amounts called for by
the statements and the amounts actually
on hand have been trivial in some cases
being one or two dollars short, and in
others similar amounts in excess; though
i'll no instance has the error exceeded
two dollars, and it is believed that these
errors will be satisfactorily explained
when tho books nre examined. Eighty
counters are employed, but they are re-
and not Mt night also, rs was the cnse

mined.
