Howard Association, New Orleans, Nov.
2.-To Hon. VIM. N. Eyalts: Your dis
patch of the first received last evening. We
do not know from whom repeated demands,
of which you spelk, come. We do know
that the reiterated statement that the How.
ard association have q balance of $4,000
to distribute after the epidemic to be abso.
lutely untrue. We stopped cOutrib utions
September 10 because we then saw that we
had ample funds on hand and in sight to
meet any probable and lawful demands that
might be made on US. Since that time.
from points 1T which there was no fever
we have had demands upon US which have
carried US under obligations Of 100000
beyond calculations we had made and
which We could not have anticipated. We
are to-day striving hard to meet these and
other obligations and come out clear OF
debt. We have not yet paid the doctors
who have so faithfully served US ut home,
though we hope yet to give them some par
tial recognition oftheir services. We have
paid no attention to repeated statements of
disappointed individuals or associations,
political. race, sectarian or otherwise, who
have started the report of large balances we
were retaining, and who asked of US our
funds for their distribution. In giving
their queries, we have chosen to wait q
til our published report shows, as it will.
the distribution we have made of the money
so generously sent US. We give you. as a
representative of the general government,
this statement of facts.

u FOREIGNERS MIsFoRTuNE.

Fargo, D. T., Oct. 31.-Antonio E. Cor
deiro, the wealthy citizen of Rio Janeiro,
Brazil, who lost his satchel containing
$4,000, by leaving it in the train at Duluth,
is here, and is placed in an awk ward posi-.
ton by his misfortune. Mr.. Cordeiro is
unable to speak English, and was dependent
upon a boy at Brainerd to explain his loss.
Steps we're soon taken by the railroad au-
thorities to trace the bag. Being assured
positively of its speedy recovery, and by the
advice of the employees, lie went on to Bis
marck, expecting to receive his valise the
following morning, but it failed to come.
MI. Cordeiro is man Of fifty and upwards,
aud doubtless is a gentleman of position and
wealth, and his loss has seriously embar-
raised him, he having only fifteen dollars in
gold on his person, his valiss containing
ALL HIS READY MEANS,
viz: -Four hundred dollars in gold, 5000 in
.greenbacks and letters of credit for $4,000,
besides various other letters, indispensable
to his welfare during his tour. Mr.. Cor
deiro feels his loss so keenly that for a time
time he was unwilling, because of his pecu-
mary embarrassment to accept the hospi-
talities Of the Sherman house offered him
BY the proprietors. He will proceed to
Brainard, tomorrow to await . reasonable
time the recovery ofhis valise. The satchel
is an ordinary black one marked in white
letters, A. E. Cordeiro, Rio Janeiro, and
securely locked and left on his seat
when he left the car.

Cabinet MeetiuH,

SATISFACTION WITH THE CONDITION OF THINGS.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-At a cabinet meeting
to-day there was general congratulation among
those present at the peaceable condition of
things throughout the entire country. One
member of the cabinet remarked that at no
time within his memory was there more har-
mony and good feeling in all sections than at
the present time. The financial condition was
alluded to as thoroughly satisfactory, and the
only indication of trouble anywhere was in the
military department of the Columbia, where
Gen. Mcdowell had some reason to fear Indian
hostllltles. The following telegram was read:
Washlngton:s The following has Just been re.
ceivcd from Gen. Howard: ''The following
from Takoma appears reliable. Three Indians
We're dispatched to Moses from Simcoe after
the Indian council of Dec LIST, ordering him
and his horses on the Takoma reservation A
company is being raised to attack
Moses unless he removes thither forth
with. The company is commanded By a
Capt. Slmons acting independently" | ask
the early and special attention of the secretary
OF war and the secretary of the interior to
General Towards telegram in connection with
the recommendation heretofore made by Gen
eral Howard with respect to Moses and the
restoration asked for on his account. 1t would
seem as if this case admits of no delay. and
that General Towards fears are likely to be
justified. Besides all this now comes another
cause OF disturbance, the unauthorized action of
body OF citizens who will be apt to plunge into
hostlIltles forthwith. (Signed) MCDOWELL
Inc subject was referred TO the secretary of
the interior, who will take prompt action in
the matter.

WASHINGTON Dec. 17.-Mr. Glover chairman
of the committee on expenditures in the treas
urv department, has sent Mr. Atkins, chairman
of the committee on appropriations, state
ment that national bank notes have been
printed in the bureau of engraving and print
ing instead Of under the direction of the COMP
troller of the currency the law requires, and
that the bureau obtained the work on the back
OF the notes by offering to do it for 1892 per
LOCO Impressions which was less than the bid
OF any of seven bidders but from
the LIST of Januory to the 1st of
July last only about one-sixth of the
work was done at this price, the remainder be-
ing charged secretly at S14 a thousand for the
second printing green TINT and S2U thou
sand for the third printing on the faces. Mr.
Glover says Congress and the public have been
deceived; that the bureau figures are wholly
unreliable; that the bureau reports do not make
a proper showing of the cost; that the bank
note printing indicates loss in expenditures
and extravaganza within the last fiscal year to
the extent of over $4,000. The expenditures
of the bureau before 1874 are not even known.

national loan, and it would take corps of
