THE TREASURY.

| Secretary Foster Enters a ,,enial Of flie
Stories Given Currency ef the Bank
ruptcy of the Treasury The ssoney
| Flows Out About rs Fat as Received
Thus Keeping 1t in the Hands OF the
People, Where it Belongs.
WASHINGTON. Sept 17.--Secretary
! Foster assumed charge of his depart
ment, yesterday, and found his time
fully occupied by the business that had
accumulated In his absence. Discuss
ing the general financial outlook with a
| United Press representative he said:
There seems to be a determination
on the part of certain parties to insist
upon the bankruptcy of the treasury.
1t has been recently charged that at a
meeting of the cabinet an agreement
was reached to hinder, delay and post
pone the payment of money for
all public purposes where such
policy was possible; that the secre-
tary of the treasury had adopted plan
of pinching economy in the matter of
| reducing the amount of cash placed to
the credit of disbursing officers; in
short, the secretary had found it neccs-
| sary to resort to unusual expe,lients in
all directions to pay the non-eXtendcG
Az per cents. In many quarters the
secretary is given much credit for the
means employed to maintain bank
rupt treasury"
Commenting on these charges Secre-
tary Foster said that no such cabinet
meeting as that alluded to had been
held, and no instructions had been
given to delay the payment of appro-
priations for any purpose. No claim of
any sort had been delayed for this rea-
son; nor indeed, was there occasion to
do so. 1t is true, the secretary added,
that he had felt that it would be good
policy to restrict disbursing officers to
their actual needs, and he had directed
a close study of each case with this end
in view. Four months siuce he found
more than $40, 1000. 900 in the hands of
the disbursing officers. when probably
$50, 600, 900 to S15, 900 would have
been an ample supply. Less than S33,-
900, 900 was now held by them and he
hoped in duo time to reduce this sum to
a minimum.
Secretary Foster insisted that the
treasury had all the money required to
maintain a position of perfect ease
without adopting policy of delay or
resorting to any action that is not
based on perfectly sound principles;
but he admitted that there is less
money in the treasury now than there
has been for many years heretofore.
The tariff legislation of the last con-
gress will, he said, probably effect a
reduction of the revenue to the extent
of $40, 900, 900 to 500 900, 900. while the
liberal appropriations will about con-
snme the revenues. The money paid
into the treasury, he declared, will flow
out daily, as it ought to, thus leaving
all money not actually needed in the
treasury in the hands of the people,
where it belongs.

EVERYTHING WAS POISONED.
Mysterious Poisoning, Resulting In Death,
at ArmourdaIe, Kas.


KANSAS CITY, Mo, Sept. 13.-Mrs. J.
Nj. Juvenal, of Armourdale, died from
the effects of poisoning. The case is a
mysterious one. A short time ago the
front portion of the Juvenal residence
was blown up by dynamite at night.
Juvenal suspected Miss Mamie Pfaff-
man, to whom he was once engaged,
and caused her arrest. Soon after this
poison was detected in milk. Last week
the family went to Excelsior Springs,
and upon returning Monday all showed
symptoms of poisoning after eating. A
window showed that it had been raised
and the house entered during their alb
sence. Mrs. Juvenal's condition was
the worst, and she had been given freely
of medicine before it was discovered
that even the water that was used with
the medicine, as we'll as every article of
food in the house, was full of ''Rough
on Rats"
