THE TREASURY STATEMENT.
t8Yy Poster Considering . Plan Of
Changing Its Features.

Secretary Foster Considering . Plan OF
Changing Its Features.
WASHINGTON, April 29-Secretary
Foster is considering a proposition to
change the asset and liability statement
issued by the United States treasurer
on the last day of each month. A
rough draft of the new statement is
now before Secretary Foster, and he
has consulted prominent fina,ciers as
to the advisa bility of the change. In
cidentally he Is considering changing
the form in which the public debt is
stated, but this change, if made, will
not go into effect until the beginning Of
the next fiscal year. Frior to
Mr.: Jordan's term in 1885
as United States treasurer the
debt statement counted the 100000, 600
in gold, known as the gold reserve, as
a part OF the available cash balance in
the treasury. Mr. jordan took this
out, together with minor coin and other
lesser items, cutting down the surplus,
and it appeared I'm the debt statement
of the month previous, in this manner,
from S145, 100000 to So, 100000. If the
change is made it will probably be to
the form used by Secretaries Sherman.

An Italian Deputy Causes an Uproar In the
Chamber at Rome.
ROME, April 3O.-Signor Imbriani, in
the chamber of deputies, speaking on
the African question, charged the
Italian government with permitting the
slave trade to be carried on openly.
He also asserted that thirt,'-ive young
girls, who had been taken from their
former owners under the pretext Of
rescuing them from slavery, had been
distributed among a number of Italian
officers serving with the Italian army
in Africa
Marquis di Rudini, replying for the
government. protested against such
accusations being made without abso-
lutte proof of their truth having first
been obtained.
Amidst cries of ''It's lier' with
draw" the minister of war declared
that he would not remain in the house
unless the charge was withdrawn.
A prolonged uproar, during which
several violent scenes were witnessed,
followed the announcement of this de-
termination. The president of the
chamber was utterly unable to control
the excited deputies and conseque ntly
was compelled to suspend the sitting.

ROBBED THE BANK.

| The Ninth National Bank Of New Yorh
/ Robbed Of o4OO. 900 BY Its Late Presi-
dent, Now Deceased.
New YORK, April 29.-Rumors were
aaoat in Wall street yesterday after
noon of q defalcation in the Ninth ma
tional bank, which does business at 400
Broadway. II was said that the sur
plus Of $500, 900 had entirely disappeared
and that the discovery was made through
the death of some one who had held q
position of trust
A visit to the bank found the directors
in session. Soon after Bank Examiner
Hepburn arrived and was closeted with
them. The directors were still in ses-
sion at late hour yesterday afternoon
and nothing officia! could be learned,
but it was SAIL that the loss was
through the operations of j. T. Hill,
the late president of the bank. who died
about a month ago. 1t was alleged that
the amount was about $500 600, but that
the bank would not lose it all, being
secured in part by real estate. 1t was
reported that the solvency Of the bank
was in no way impaired The banks
Capital - SSCV,OUU.
Late last night National Bank Ex-
aminer Hepburn reported: AN ex-
animation of the Ninth national bank
reveals defalcation of S4OO, 900 charge
able to its former president While the
loss is serious it does not impair the
banks solvency or its ability to take
care of its customers Its assets besides
the loss mentioned are of good eharac-
ter, its discounts of exceptionally good
character. The bank has owned for .
period of fifteen years eighty-five acres
of land in the Twenty-third and
Twenty-forth wards of this city. As
national banks are not allowed to
own real estate for other than bsak-
ing purposes, and when taken
for debt not longer than I've
years, this real estate was charged OF
and has not appeared in the assets of
the bank for many years, during which
period it has largely appreciated in
value. That is now restored at = valu1-
ton of $500, and competent APP
praisers value it much higher. AS evil
denee that the bank valuation is fully
warranted and within the limits, the
directors have executed an agreement
to take the property at said valuation.
This bank has been unfortunate but it
is perfectly sound and is entitled to and
should receive the support of its depos-
itors and the public"

SENSITIVE ecELEsTIALs.

Minister Jlair WIN Net BE Received BY
the Chinese Government.
WASHINGTON, April e9.-The state
department announces that the Chinese
government has notified this govern
ment of its unwllTngDess to receive ex-
Senator Henry w. Blair as minister to
China This was all the information
obtainable.lastn night Secretary Blaine
would not talk upon the subject, and
the. Chinese minister sent down word
to callers that he Had retired and his in
terpreter was not I'm the house. Mr..
Biair's SON expressed surprise when in
formed of the action of the Chinese gov
eminent 1t was, he said, the first that
any of the family had heard of it. His
father, he felt sure, was not aware of
the. situation.
1t is we'll understood here that the
objection TO Mr. Blair was based upon
his utterances concerning the Chinese
question and that the republication of
extracts from his speeches produced q
deep impression upon the minds of
prominent Chinese officials, which final
ly resulted IN the notification received
by the state department last evening"
The objection caused no excitement
here as this government recognizes the
right of a foreign power to express its,
unwilhngness to receive q ministerwh0'
is not entirely acceptable.

supposed that he is demented and his
business financial wreck.
Mr.. Hutchinson. whose tall, erect fig
ure has for years been one of the most
picturesque sights on the Chicago board
Of trade, left the city about midnight.
taking with him a small satchel
and a ticket to Pensacola, Fla
None of his friends or relatives appear
to know that he was going. The vet
eran operat tor, however, never was
much of man for confidents How he
occupied his last hours IN Chicago has
not been discovered. except that he paid
lengthy visits to two of his. favorite
drinking resorts, and at each place told
the bartender inside not to expect to
see him again.
1t has been a matter of common
rumor on the board that business mis-
fortunes had unbalanced ''Old Hutcf's"
mind. His always eccentric conduct
seemed increasingly erratic. For weeks
at time his abode, day and night. has
been his little Office adjoining the ex-
change. When, some time ago. it is
said, his sons. in view of their fathers
reported heavy losses following reck-
less trades, began to consider the
appointment of a conservator to take
charge of his affairs, the old man was
furiously angry. More than ever he
isolated himself, and on the board APP
peared to speculate for revenge rather
than gain. The dislike which he was
said to entertain for certain members
of the board seemed to settle into sys-
tematic hatred.
No one but ''Old Hutch" himself
knew, or for that matter yet knows,
the exact condition of his finances. It
was practically certain, according to
all indications, that he had lost of late
heavily and steadily.
Yesterday morning when the news
of his queer departure became noised
about almost the first question was
show much did he leave?" It was
answered by the announcement of his
relatives that the missing mans out
standing trades of 100000 bushels
could be settled up without loss to any
one. Whether any portion of the spec
ulator's fortune remained they did not
say.
For the time the announcement
caused the widest excitement on the
floor, and the market sharply declined
It is stated that 'Old Hutch" was in
solvent and that his liabilities would
be S., 900, 900 in excess of his assets On
the other hand, w. I. Hutchinson while
saying: 81 think fathers mind is I'M
balanced and that he has wandered
away" added: 81 do not believe he is
insolvent. When we can find how his
affairs stand am confident everyth thing
will be paid in full. dollar for dollar"

WASHINGTON, May lone of the

generally bring the best prices during

by keeping whatever number the farm
