Secretary Foster Modifes Recent Statements
of Director Leech

OF director Leecn.
WASHINGTON, April 29.-In talk with
reporter to-day about the recent statement
OF Mint Director Leech on the finances Sec
retary Foster said that Leech was right in
the main, although he Foster) would have
stated it little differently. He would say
that some of the S250,0O0,O00 Of available
cash might be regarded as trust funds 1t
would be correct to say that about $40, 900, 600
is unquestionably available. That is the
money in banks, subsidiary coin, trade dol
lars, bullion, currency and silver against
which no certificates have been issued. AS
to the S100, ,000,0 900 gold held against green
backs the Secretary said the Government
can and Will use this gold reserve if needed
on pinch, as the notes outstanding
are legal tender. The gold should therefore
appear in the debt statement as available
Leech in the opinion that the silver puf-
certificates have been issued is available
cash. Certificates are against that, and it
is in the nature of a trust; but the profits
on silver purchases, amounting to some
81, 100000. may be used. The Secretary
said he is thinking of trying to substitute
2 per cents for the AK per cent bonds, as
Window proposed. If it can be done there
will be two advantages over redemption.
70 be able to float per cent bonds will
demonstrate the extraordinary soundness of
the Government credit and the money re-
qured to redeem the Az per cents may be
used for the purchase OF As, at saving of
2 per cent of the interest to be paid up to
the time of maturity.

A PANICKY MARKET.
RumOTS That "0ld Hutch Is Embarrassed
and Damented

CHICAGO, April 29-B. P. Hutchinson,
millionaire grain speculatOr, widely known
as "0ld Hutch" is missing 1t is supposed
he is demented aud his business a financial
wreck.
Hutchinson left the city last night, hay-
ing purchased ticket 10 Pensacola, Fla.
Before going he paid visits to two Of his
favorite drinking resorts and in each place
announced that he would not be seen again.
1t has been matter Of common rumOr on
the board that business misfortunes had un-
balanced Old Hutch'S mind, his always ec-
centric conduct seemed Increasingly erratic
of late. In the board he has recently been
specLlating wildly, and it was practically
certain that he has lost heavily and stead
lily. This morning, when the news of his
departure got out operators who had deals
with him began calling for margins. In a
short time w. |. Hutchinson, his youngest
son, formally announced the fact that his
father was missing, and neither his family
nor his business associates knew his where
abouts. The house, he said, could not put
up any margins.
For time the announcement caused the
widest excitement on the floor and the
market sharply declined. Various rumors
fOated about, it being stated, among other
things, that he was insOlVent ana his
liabilities would reach S5,000,0O0 in excess Of
his assets.
On the other hand, his son, while saying
he thought his fathers mind unbalanced
and that he had wandered away, did not
think he was insolvent. He is confident
everything will be paid up, dollar for dollar.
Many brokers believe Hutchinson has SIM
ply gone away on a long projected vacation,
and will pretend great surprise when he
hears of the sensation.
A dispatch from Evansville, Ind, says he
was seen there this afternoon, and went
south on the Louisville and Nashville road.
He appeared very nervous.
In an interview Tonight Broker Russell
estimated Hutchinson's losses during the
past fourteen months at not less than
S2,000,000. Russell does not think however,
that his actual shortage TO creditors is more
than 100000. He understands that Hutch
insOn made over large portion of his prop
erty to his wife and youngest son some time
ago, and has since lost what he reserved for
himself. Russell thinks the old speculator
went away mortified by the knowledge that
he could not settle, and resolved to absent
himself until the matter is arranged.
gentleman, who Is near relative OF Mr.
Hutchinson, said the family had seen for some
time that his mind was affected and had been
considering whether it would not be better 20
take some measures OF restraint.

Wanamaker,s Books.

Those who visited the rooms occupied
by Postmaster-Gener Wanamaker at the
Palace Hotel were interested to note that
his cen ter-table was literally heaped with
books. Novels, essays. poems, volumes of
history and biography lay heaped in confu-
sion, and all bore the ear marks Of reading.
"The truth is" said gentleman who is
familiar with the habits of the postal mag
nate, Mr.. Wanamaker, in spite of the fact
that he is one of the busiest men in the
world, manages to keep up with the litera-
ture of the day, and is a voracious reader
when the opportunity permits. 1t is only
when he gets away on a trip like this, how
ever, that ne finds any time to devote to his
books, and when he does, he goes at them
with a will. He can get through book in
very short order, but, strange TO say, he
literally absorbs everything he reads | re-
member l said to him one: MIR. Wan
amaker. have you read Ibsen's dramas%"
81 really have not had the time, he re-
piled. but you'll tell me about them, wont
you?'
81 told as bAst could what I remem bered
of them. and ne listened with boyish eager
ness When l was through he had good
idea of the dramas, and l was told afterward
that he made it Il rule to CLEAN knowledge
of late books in that way"

He Lost No Time.

'In early days." said a gentleman at the
Occidental last night, "James L. huffman
was one of the characters of San Francisco.
At one time he was Chief Engineer Of the
Fire Department, but later on he drifted
down to Mazatlan, and by some hook or
crook got possession of valuable coffee
plantation. Soon after his arrival there the
Macmillan troubles came on, and Nuttman
and his associates were arrested by the
French for harboring the Mexican Liberals,
who were conducting deSultory warfare
against Maximilian.
Not long ago l met huffman, who re-
lated to me the incidents of his escape.
''He said: After my arrest was called
before a military tribunal, and dapper lit
tie French officer accused me of having har-
bored the MeXicans. After delivering his
TRADE he stepped up to me and slapped me
in the face. My blood boiled at the insult,
and | realized that it was merely ruse to
provoke me into an outburst of anger in or
der to find an excuse TO have me shot, as sew
eral of my companions had already been.
AS a consequence | remained passive, and
this encouraged the little whipper-snapper
to slap me again. As he delivered the sec
ond blow with his open hand he exclaimed
in French: "Allez! allezP at the same time
waving me away with a contemptuous ges
ture.'
"'What did you do p " 1 asked.
"'Well, knew just enough French to un-
derstand that allez meant go, aud you can
just bet your life l alleZed.'"

washington's Poor.

"l am torcibly impressed with the general
air of prosperity displayed by the people on
the streets in San Francisco" said Postmas
ter-General Wanamaker. 80 far as my
observation extends they are better housed,
better fed and better clothed on an average
than the people OF any of the great Ameri-
can cities. Strange as it may seem to those
unfamiliar with the situation, there are more
really poor people in Washington than in
any of the great centers of population. How
Go 1 account for it? Well, it is largely due
to the great number of people who go thither
in search of employment and get stranded.
The peculiar part Of it is that thousands of
the poorest people Of Washington are well
dressed Especially is this true of the
women. They flock there from all parts of
the country in the hope of finding work in
the departments, and in the vast majority OF
cases they are disappointed. Instead OF
abandoning the quest and returning to their
homes they hang on. even after all their
money is gone, and live as they can from
hand to mouth. Many of them are deserv-
ing of assistance. but there is such an army
of them that it is impossible TO help ali and
manu- raallV Suffar"

COULD NOT Be FOUND.
Another Operation Performed on the Man
Who Inhaled a Cork.

NEW YORK, April 29-Another unsuc-
cessful attempt was made to-day to remove
from the brOnchus of Rev. Dr. George w.
Boutwell, the cork which he accidentally
Inhaled eleven days ago, while holding it
between his teeth DR.. Boutwell, was in
good condition and cheerful.
The operation was performed by Dr.
RushmOre, assisted by six other physicians.
Ether was administered. DR.. Rushmore
had prepared new instrument In the hope
Of extracting the cork through the opening
already made in the tTachea, instead of re-
sorting to the more dangerous operation OF
opening the lung cavity. This was u long,
flexible instrument furnished with an eX-
ceedingly sharp spiral like corkscrew.
Rubber tube was placed in the windpipe
to protect the membrane. Then the instru-
ment was introduced into the left bronchus,
where the cork was lodged, in the hope
that the spiral might reach the obstruction
and by a twisting movement be made to
take hold of it, This was tried for
some time, but without success.
Once it was thought that the cork
had been touched and drawn up slightly,
but il broke away. One of the physicians
thought that a small fragment of cork was
extracted. but this could not. be proved.
An attempt was made to introduce a sys-
toscope tube with a small electric light to
was useless, because of the secretions
of the bronchial tube, and nothing
could be seen. When all available means
of reaching the obstruction from the
tracheal opening has been exhausted, con-
sultation was held, and as DR.. Boutwell, had
requested that everything be done, it was
decided to attempt The dangerous operation
of exsection of the ribs. AS nearly as could
discovered the cork was found to be in the
left bronchus just above the second bifurca-
tion.
RushmOre made an opening across the
chest over the left lung and had got down
to the ribs when BothwelPs condition be-
came such that the physicians were unani-
nous in the opinion that they would not be
justified in proceeding further with the
work.
The patient had been under operation for
over an hour and was becoming exhausted.
II was feared that he might die on the
operating table, and even if the cork should
be removed before that took place the
physicians felt that the name of having per-
formed successfully the almost miraculous
operation would not compensate for the
death Of the patient. They preferred to
wait until he rallied sufficiently t. allow the
attempt to be made again.
Boutwell, remained unconscious for over
an hour afterward and then came out from
under the influence Of the ether. Tonight
lie was much better than was anticipated,
and is in no immediate danger. There is,
however, no hope of his recovery unless
the cork can be removed before inflamma-
tion sets in, as blood poisoning or pneumo-
MIA must follow.

Secretary Rusk is among those who be-
lieye that Mr.. Blaine is not under any cir
cumstances candidate for the Presidency.
While in the city he discussed the matter
briefly with a CALL reporter and said:
''Mr. Blaine has changed greatly of late
years. The crowning ambition of his life is
to make a record as Secretary of State and
at the end of his term of Office to quietly re-
tire to private life. l am of the opinion that
his health is such that he does not care to
undergo the strain of another canvass. He
is more conservative than of old, and it is
only when aroused that he displays his sc-
customed fire and energy. His ability is
none the less marked, and he still has the
faculty of swaying those with whom he
comes in contact, but it is understood by
those who know that his ambition is no
longer directed toward the Presidency. 1
am of the opinion that he will announce, as
has been stated. that he is not in the field,
II he does so, you can depend upon it that
his statement will not be couched in aui-
biguOus terms and his meaning will not be

accident, and it all transpired in peculiar
way. Itwas just before the appointment of
Morrison r. Waite as Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court, and the entire nation was
ona the tiptoe Of expectancy to know who
w6uld be named. The nomination Of Caleb
Gushing had been sent in by President
Grant to the Senate. and when the noses
were counted 1t was plainly evident that he
could not be confirmed. l was then iii Con-
gress from Wisconsin, and my relations

glne-houso near by and climbing up

ened me and / admitted him, although
considerably surprised at the strange visit.

me who would be decided on for Chief

that l knew nothing about it, but thought
it a little hard that my newspaper friend
should have had all his trouble for nothing.

ing and send in instead that of Morrison X
