Treasury Department..

treasury department..
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S. - Secretary
Foster took charge of the treasury de-
partment Thursday, and made the ac-
quaintance of his assistants and bureau
chiefs through introductions by Private
Secretary Hendley, who served in that
capacity for the late Secretary Window.
Mr Foster made very good impression
on all, with his cordial manner, so diff
ferent from the usual stiff assumption
Of official dignity that new appointees
usually assume. He laughed and told
stories, and greeted old acquaintance
familiarly, until the scene resembled a
social reception more than a formal in
duction into Office. A local paper gives
the following description of the new
secretary.
THE new secretary is not quite like
the pictures that have lately been
printed of him. His face is fuller and
more good humored his eye has the
snap of a man of quick intellect, his
beard only half shades a sensitive, nerv-
ous mouth, and his hand, which no pict-
ure can portray, has warmth of clasp
that makes his new acquaintance a
friend at once. He has an easy, conver-
sational style of talking, and his man
ner is that of an attractive man of the
world rather shan that of a reserved eb-
server of things round about him"
Secretary Foster has appointed Mr..
Charles NJ. Hendley his private secre-
tary. Mr. Hendley acted tn a similar
capacity for Secretary Window,

PRECIOUS METAL 5.
The Director of the Mat Sends Report
to Congress.

The Director of the Mat Sends a Report
to Congress.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S. Edward O.
Leech, the director Of the mint, has sub
Iaitted to congress report on the pro-
duction Of the precious metals for the
calendar year 1890.
The gold product of the mines of the
United States was 1858, 86e ounces,
valued at $32, ,s45,00O, an increase of
$45, 900 over the product of the proceed
ing year.
The silver product of our own mines
approximated "a, 10000 ounces, corre-
spending, at the average price of silver
during the year TO So, ,925, 600, and at
the coming value of silver to $40, AGA, ,645
against product OF $4,000, 600 ounces,
valued at $64, AGA, AGA in the preceding
year.
The total value of the gold deposited
at the mints during the calendar year
was $56,217, 1875.
The total amount of silver offered for
sale to the government during the year
was 6S, 1870, ,457 ounces, and the amount
purchased 1854, 1878 ounces, costing
$39, ,991 $40, the average cost being $l.08
per ounce.
The coinage executed during the last
calendar year was the largest in the
history of the mint service, aggregating
1914, ,025. 1856 pieces, valued at $g1 ,054 1882.
Of this amount SEQ, ,467, 182 was in gold,
and $38, ,043, ,004 in silver.
There was, Direc tor Leech says,
marked improvement in the price of sill
yer during the past calendar year, the
price reaching the highest point in
twelve years. The fluctuations covered
a range of 26 per cent. wider range by
far than in any previous year. At the
commencement of the year silver was
quoted at $0.9o per fine ounce. 1t
reached $1.21 on August and closed on
Dec. 81, at $1044. The average price
during the year was: In London,
$l.04 6-10; in New York, $1.05.
Tke amount of precious metals used in
the arts in the United States during the
calendar year was: Gold, $18, 1o5, SOL;
silver, So, 1881, l18. Owing to the brief
time since the close of the last calendar
year the statistics of the product Of
gold and silver in the world by produc-
ing countries for the calendar year 1890
are not complete.
Complete returns, however, have been
received from Russia Australia, South
Africa, British India, Venezuela and
few other countries, based upon which
the director estimates, as mere ap-
proximation, that the gold product of
the world for the calendar year 1890 was
$118, 400, 900, falling off of $3,007 900
from 1889, and that the silver product of
the world was 1870, $50 900 fine ounces,
an increase of 1858, 1875 fine ounces over
1889.
The report is replete with valuable
statistics on the production, coinage and
movement of the precious metals
throughout the world.

THE TORONTO MAIL is AROUSED
Tactics in Canada oVerstep the Bounds
of Right and Honesty.

of Right and Honesty.
TORONTO, Ont, Feb. 2S.-The Mail
contains strong article ON the MAD
ness of Faction. Il lit says:
Nothing could mark the malicious
madness of faction more signally or more
shamefully than the means which in
this contest have been taken when argu-
ments have failed to blacken the charac-
ter of opponents. Are the confidential
concerns of our printing houses, the
sancity Of desks containing our private
correspondence and the common laws
of honesty which forbid us to steal or
willingly to receive stolen goods, to be
given to the winds in order that party
leader may gain political victory over
his opponents?
"The abstraction of private CORE
spondence to which Sir Charles Upper
has made himself party, touches us
all very closely. If this is within the
pale of honor, what secrets may not be
stolen and sold? Till Charles Upper
tells how the private letters which he
read out at Windsor were procured, the
presumption will be that they were
stolen, in which case by receiving and
using them he has done that which is
forbidden by the laws of honor. Mr..
Wiman's office, we believe, is full of
young Canadians, on whom, till Sir
Charles Upper explains his possession
of the letters, the shadow of suspicion
may rest. Theft, or completely in theft,
is reprehensible in all cases, but especial
lv in the case of ministers of state who
are the guardians of the law. Popular
sentiment hates a sneak thief more than
the man whom it has betrayed"

over the Dominion election campaign
reached fever heat Thursday when
nominations of candidates took place
throughout Canada. Three Liberals and
two Conservatives were declared elected
by acclamation. The list included Mr..
Laurier, leader of the opposition, whose
strength in East Quebec prevented the
Conservatives bringing out an opponent.
Sir John Macdonald, the Conservative
leader, was too i'll to appear before the
electors at Kingston. He has been
working night and day for three weeks,
and the exertion has proved too much
for his II years. His condition is re-
garded as very serious. He is laid up in
bed at Kingston, and the sensational re-
ports in circulation about his condition
have demoralized his followers.
