| WASHINGTON, March 8.-The first comp
troller of the treasury has advised the
treasurer to make no payments on account
of the salary of Theodore F. Singiser, the
newly elected delegate to the house of rep
resentatives from Idaho, until his accounts
as secretary of the territory, which Office he
has just vacated, have been adjusted.
There is nothing wrong in the accounts,
which are now IN process of settlement.
Treasurer Gilfllan says he cannot refuse
| to advance Singiser his salary when it
becomes due, as he does not believe he has
authority to withhold the salary of any
public officer unless it be shown he is in
debted to the government.

DORSEY PUBLISHES CARD.
Ex-senator Dorsey furnishes for publ
cation the following card:
To the Associated Press: am informed
that you sent to the country the villainous
| falsehood that appeared in the Star to-
night as a statement of Reerders. The
Associated Press being supreme in its
sphere 1 am forced to appeal to it and ask
that what l say be placed beside what the
perjurer says. never saw Belford on the
cars. 1 never play ed a game of cards with
him or in his presence anywhere
or at any time. never gave MIN cnecK
of any kind whatsoever for any purpose
in the world. L never met him in my life
except in Washington or in Denver. and
then only socially. Reerdel says I was
here in October, 1879, and that he spoke to
me about the check. was not here any
time after July IL, 1879, until about Aug. s,
and in the meantime had not seen Reer-
del.
This story is one that flows from the
mouth of q self-admitted periurer and
thief. Reerdel never kept book for me,
never made charge for me, and never
had check book of mine, unless he stole
it. No check, no stub of check, no entry
of any name or character ever existed
upon which to base this infamous lie.
Reerdel's statement is the natural out
growth of the usual infamy of transmit
ted power, and fairly represents it.
[Signed s. w. DORSEY.
JUDGE BHLFOnD ON THE DENIAL.
Judge Belford, in conversation tonight,
fully confirmed all that ex-senator Dorsey
states above concerning the check story He
said he never rode foot on any railroad in
