The Raid on the Treasury.

CERTlFICATK BUYERS IN FORCE TO-DAY,
The certificate buyers, both male and female,
began to form lines at the Treasury at twelve
o'clock last night. At nine O'Clock this morning
the female line ran from the northern entrance
out to the avenue, and turned down 18th street.
The Line nf :s.on n.o ana boys extended from the
same entrace out to the avenue and up to the
first gate entering the White House grounds.
When the doors were opened they attemted to
rush In, but could not; Capt. Cobaugh. of the
Treasury watch, had both his day and night
forces on duty, and kept the crowd back. About
ten from each line were allowed In, and as they
made their purchases more were given the same
privilege. There was no disorder inside the
building. A number OF policemen were on the
outside looking after the crowd, but none of
them were needed to preserve order inside
The lines were as closely packed as usual Sew
eral women were noticed seated In camp chairs
They moved the chairs forward as foot by foot
they got nearer the entrance Though there
were as many would. be buyers on hand as here
tofore, there was not the slightest disorder.
THE SUPPLY OF CERTIFICATES
During last week the bureau Of engraving
and printing delivered daily to the Treasury
S2,O20,OOO In certificates. To-day the deliveries
were the same. Tomorrow and hereafter the
sum OF 81 ,1SO, 600 will be the work of the bureau
There Is no especial reason for any great haste
In placing the certificates; therefore the bureau
is not worked to its utmost capacity. Next
Friday DECORATION day. Will be a holiday, and
will deliver its last batch Of certificates, $500 900
This will close out the sale for orders for more
than all that remains have been received and are
being filled as fast as the certificates are re-.
ceived. The sales Will 60 on through deposit
