The Government Able to Meet All
Outstanding Demands.
WASHINGTON, April 2S.-Certain Dem
ocratic newspapers affect to believe that
the United States Treasury is bankrupt.
The Philadelphia Times this morning has
scare head announcing that the Govern
ment is busted"
Director Leech is out with another
statement, in which he insists that there
are upward of S250, zoo, 600 in the Treasury
available for current demands. Leech
points TO the Sl00000,000 held for the re-
demption Of United States notes, TO the a.
percent. fund deposited by the banks
with the Treasurer to keep their circulat-
ing notes in good condition, and to the
remainder of the money in the Treasury
which belongs to the Government as alb
solutely as the Treasury building
The redemption fund of 500 000, 600
was accumulated by the sale of bonds for
the express purpose of redeeming United
States notes, and constitutes part of the
Resumption Act of 1915. When Sherman
was Secretary of the Treasury he did not
set this apart as q separate fund, but al
ways insisted upon maintaining the gold
reserve at 40 per cent. of the amount of
United States notes outstanding, which
is in round numbers S347, 900, 900, which
made the aggregate to the reserve fund
Sl4S,0O0,0OO. This fund. as a rule, was in
excess of 40 per cent. This reserve fund
cannot be used for any purpose other
than that for which it was created by
law, and the same is true of the remain
der of the money in the Treasury, which
Ieech includes in his available funds.
1t is pretty certain that the Secretary will
be able To meet all current obligations,
but TO do this he will be compelled to
hold down appropriations made by Con-

RAPID FLIGHT OF DUCKS
The Canvas-Back Can Distance An
Other DuC.k

Dir. Charles Macrum, a wealthy retired
physician OF Portland, Or, who for the
last three years has devoted his time to
hunting and fishing and writing stores
for sporting papers, is registered at the
fremont House, Chicago, says the Tji-
bune. The doctor has made study of the
speed OF the duck, and says the canvas
back can fly faster than any other mem
Der of the duck family.
The canYaS-back can distance any
other duck, said the doctor. "It can fly
two miles minute and keep it up for
hours. The mallard is the slowest, but
with an effort can go mile a minute
The gadwade duck is not found in the
East often, but is numerous in Oregon
The members of this family can travel
eighty miles an hour. The broad-bill
duck Is almost as swift as the canvas
back, but can not keep the race as long as
the other.
'You may think that geese fly slower
than mallard duck. This is not so. With
the slow movement Of their big wings
they do not appear to be flying rapidly,
but they travel from eighty TO 100 miles
an hour and keep it up for day."
The doctor tells some interesting stories
about his hunting experiences. While
hunting near Madison, Wis. last fall he
had narrow escape from being killed by
the body of a duck which had fallen at
his feet from the air about 200 yards above
him.
"A duck sometimes when wounded
will circle around in the air and try to
get as high up as possible" said the
visitor. Il had wounded big mallard,
and it started to circle upward directly
over my head. | had charge Of buck
shot In the other barrel, and before it got
out of range l fired. One of the bullets
must have struck the vital part, for it
came down instantly. 1t was directly
above me, and had L not lodged my head
just in time its body would have struck
me square upon the head. 1t whizzed
past my ear with terrific force and fell
at my side. There was not bone in its
body that was not broken when |
attempted to pick it up. ] am certain the
blow would have crushed my skull had
the body struck me on top of my head
y friend of mine named Bancroft, when
duck-hunting i'm Florida, also had close
call. 1t was just getting dark, and we
were waiting in our boats behind a pile of
weeds for the ducks to appear We
heard something come buZzing over the
lake, and my friend suddenly raised
himself in his boat TO see what it was. 1t
was a teal duck. The bird must have
been going at the rate of $50 miles an
hour. Just as Bancroft looked up the
duck struck him in the forehead and
knocked him over into the water. The
blow was so hard it stunned him, and
had not been there TO pull him out he
certainly would have drowned. The

gress, whenever this can be done without
detriment to the public interest.
There is not the slightest probability
that Secretary Foster Will act upon the
money held in trust for the redemption
of obligations already outstanding. The
Secretary has authority to bring expendi-
lures within receipts by withholding
certain appropriations, such as those for
public works not begun. President
Grant withheld one year almost the whole
amount appropriated for the improve
ment of rivers and harbers, because he
believed the aggregate was larger than it
should be, and directed that expendi-
lures should be made on this account
only at such points and in such sums as
he believed wise and proper. All ap-
preparation Acts contain a clause which
allows of discretion on the part Of the
Executive, the language being thereby
appropriated out of any money in the
treasury not otherwise appropriated"
With this saving clause the President
and Secretary of the Treasury may be
safely trusted to see that the credit of the
Government is fully maintained, and
that all currentobligations are discharged

Was most philosophical creature,
Who argued and said
That she never would we'd
Except with an opposite nature.
AS the years galloped on
At last she met one,
Whose opposite ways did quite strike her,
Eureka" she said,
On the day that they wed,
For he wasn't a particle like her.
She was fair, he was brown,
She wore smiles, he a frown,
She saw beauty in flowers, he couldn't;
She was young, he was old,
She was warm, he was cold,
She jOyed in the church, but he wouldn't.
Her wish she had gained,
But her life had been PANIED;
Such Opposites bring not perfection;
With Il sigh for the past
They parted at last
And each took an opposite direction"
