That Cleveland Interview.

New YORK, April 29.-The Herald
prints the following: Mr.. Lon V.
Stephens state treasurer of Missouri,
whose interview with ex-President
Cleveland, rs reported in the Evening
Telegram and Herald, has created so
much interest, sent yesterday to the
reporter to whom he gave the inter-
view in the Telegram, authorizing him
to use personal letter sent on Wednes-
DAY OF last week. saying: lit may re-
lieye us from some embarrassment. -
The letter, which is dated Southern
Hotel, St. Louis, Mo-, April %, 1891,
reads as follows:

altogether correct but nearer so
than the average newspaper inter-
view of that length where the inter-

WASHINGTON, April ga Star re-
porter asked Director of the Mint
Leech for an explanation OF the state
ment made by him that there was an
available cash balance of $25S. 900, 900
in the treasury. Leech said he holds
ing to $4o3 900, 900 represent trust
money; that is, the coin has been de-
posted by individuals and the govern
ment has issued u certificate to pay
back the same on demand. Possibly
the fund of 81. 600, 900 placed with the
treasury by national banks for keeping
the currency in good condition is trust
money, but rs congress has Just or
dered the money placed by national
banks for retirement, the circulation
to be covered into the general bal
ance, it is difficult TO conceive why
this is any more sacred. The re-
mainder of money in the treasury, some
$25o, 900, 600, Leech holds, belongs
absolutely to the government. Prior
to 1885. he says 1.-The available bal
ance in the treasury was always
shown rs the amount of money
which actually belongs to the gov
ernment The 800, 600 in gold pur-
chased by the sale of bonds for re-
sumption purposes was always included
as u portion of the available balance
prior to that date and there is no
reason why it should not be. Nor is
there any reason why legal tender
notes issued in the purchase of silver
bullion are any more current liabili-
ty than other greenbacks. They are
class of legal tender money. They
are not silver money, as the people
generally suppose. They are issued
in the first place in the purchase of
silver bullion. but as they come back
into the treasury are reissued for all
purposes. The fact that the secretary
is anxious to convert all the assets in
to the most available form of money Is
no indication that there is any shortage
in the treasury funds. In accordance
with the acts of congress the trade
dollar bullion and subsidiary silver
coins will be recoined as soon as the
new designs are decided on. Whether
the secretary should decide to extend
the 4 ] per cents at the rate of = per
cent would simply be business prop
osition as to whether it would be more
profitable for the government to use
its money in buying bonds bearing
four per cent interest at the current
rate. l imagine the recent order sls-
pending the purchase and the policy
OF the secretary regarding the AIS
arises more from consideration of the
fall OF the money market than any
present or anticipated lack OF funds. ="

What MIR. Gould Thinks.

NEW YORK. April 27.-Jay Gould
appeared down town Saturday morning
and seemed to be in excellent health.
He talked freely about his western trip
and said he found his roads every
where in good condition. He believes
that the financial situation OF the
United States is better than that of any
other country in the world. He had
never seen so promising an outlook for
crops.
The general railroad situation looks
we'll. :" he said. Threatening legisla-
ton has passed away. The interstate
commerce law has done great deal of
good and much evil. The long and
short haul clause of the interstate law
is one of its Objectionable features.
Another objection is that it seems to
be in the interest OF the strong roads.
| am in favor of the plan and purpose
of the Western Traffic association.
Regarding the charges OF rate cutting
do not understand that the Missouri
Pacific railroad cut rates any lower
than did other roads. 1t was neces-
sary to meet competition at once and
to protect its traffic

Leech Talks of Treasury Funds

Leech Talks of Treasury Funds.
WASHINGTON, April 2S.-Directol
of the Mint Leech. speaking OF fnan-
cial matters, said: The amount OF
money in the treasury of the United
States the first OF this month was $751;,
000 600, of which $49S, 900, 900 was
trust money held for the redemption
of gold, silver and currency certifi-
Gates, and the balance of the 1885,
900, 900 belonged to the treasury just
as absolutely as any property which
the government owns. How there
can be any possibility OF the gov
eminent failing to meet obliga-
tions with this immense sum
of absolutely free cash on hand is diff
ficult to conceive. hold that the gov
eminent Of the United States has in
its vaults in good money today over
$25S 0G0, 900 available for legiti-
mate expenditure of the govern
ment and that it is ridiculous to
talk about there being the slight
est possibility of any obligation of
the government being dishonored.
That the secretary should consider it
wise to convert all his assets into the
most available money and TO this end
convert large amount OF subsidiary
silver coin into lawful money and that
he should draw in from the national
bank repositories the money which
may be needed by the government
seems eminently proper and should in
incite no concern. If the availa-
BILE funds in the treasury are
less than at former periods OF our ma
tional history it must not be forgotten
that there has been purchased and re-
tired, since the advent of this admin
istration twenty-five months ago $3.50, =
COB, 900 of interest bearing bonds at q
cost including interest and premium.
of $267, $40, 5Sl. When we consider
this immense amount of interest-bear-
ing debt wiped away in two years and
the immense saving OF interest to the
people of the country, it will be read
lily seen that the moneys in the treas
ury have been put to good USE"

The President at Los Angeles.

Los ANGELES Cal, April "a. The
presidential party arrived in Los
Angeles in cars laden with fragrant
flowers and California fruits. At Col
ton Mayor Hazard and the Los Angeles
reception committee met the party.
The Los Angeles railroad station held
good natured, struggling, enthus-
iastic mass OF people when the train
rolled in. Cheer followed cheer as the
president alighted with Governor
Markham and walked through u line
OF policemen to a profusely decorated
carriage drawn by four horses. Mill
tary and civic organizations had been
forming along the principal streets.
AS the presidents carriage passed
along, Grand Army posts, military
companys, civic societies and carriages
containing state and local officers and
local committeeman fell into line. The
president stood erect in his carriage.
knee deep in flowers. He received "a
continuous ovation from the station to
the city hail where grand stand had
been erected. The building and stand
were well decorated with flowers and
bunting. and several thousand people
were packed in solid mass around
the stand. When the crowd had fin
ished cheering the appearance of the
president Mayor Hazard made an adj
dress of Welcome and Governor Mark
ham introduced the chief executive,
who made a brief speech, paying trib-
ute to the American flag and Ameri-
can institutions. Postmaster General
Wanamaher and Secretary Rusk also
spoke and We're loudly cheered. To-
night the whole city turned out to a
| public reception given to the presi-
dent at the Hazard pavilion. The ex-
terror and interior of the building was
decorated with flowers. the entire front
OF the stage being covered with roses.
The president. Governor Markham,
Mayor Hazard and Messrs. Wanna
maker and Rusk made short speeches
and after the president had shaken

Won NOltke and NapoIeon

LONDON. April 2S.-The Paris cor
respondent of the Times relates n
hitherto unpublished story about
Count Won Moltke. During the counts
visit to the Paris exposition in 1867
with the emperor and Prince Bismarck
he dined one day at St. Cloud with
Emperor Napoleon, and in a talk after
dinner Napoleon told Marshal Random
minister OF war that General Won
Moltke claimed to be able to fight the
French army with needle guns. Mar
shall Random laughed aloud, and in a
voice which all in the room could hear
responded:
Pardon me, general but in spite of
the high opinion | have of your judg-
ment am unable to share your be-
lief"
After the departure OF Emperor Will
liam, Napoleon was so struck with the
words of the taciturn strategist that he
busted himself in overhauling the
equipment OF the French army, the re-

Unsettled Tracts Fewer.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Superin-
tendent Porter of the census bureau
has made public bulletin upon the
subject OF the distribution of popula-
ton according to the density. This
shows that in 1890 the population was
nearly sixteen times as great as in 1890,
while during the century the unsettled
area was increased only about eight
fold. In general the increase of pop
ulation has gone out at a much more
rapid rate than that Of settled areas.
The most striking fact which appears
is the numerous additions which have
been made to the settled area within
the Cordiilian region. Settlements
have sped westward up the slope of
the plains until they have joined the
bodies formerly isolated in Colorado,
forming II continuous body of settle
ment from the east to the Rocky noun
tains.
Practically the whole OF Kansas has
become n settled region and the unset
tied area of Nebraska has been reduced
in dimensions to a third OF what it was
ten years ago. What was a sparsely
settled region in Texas in 1880 is now
the most populous part of the state
while settlements have spread west
ward to the escarpment of the Staked
plains. The unsettled region of the
Dakotas has been reduced to half Its
former dimensions. Settlements in
Montana have spread until they now
occupy one-third of the state. In New
Mexico, Idaho and Wyoming consider
able extensions of area are noted In
Colorado. in spite OF the decline OF the
mining fever and the depopu,ation OF
its mining regions, settlements have
spread and two-thirds of the state is
now under the dominion of man.
Oregon and Washington show equally
rapid progress. and California, al
though its mining regions have suf-
fered, has made great inroads into its
unsettled regions, especially in the
south.
OF all the western states and terri
tories, Nevada alone is at IL stand-still
in this respect, it's settled area re-
naming practically the same as in
1880. When it is remembered that
this state has lost one-third of its pop
ulation in the past ten years. the fact
that it has held its own in settled area
is surprising until it is understood that
the state has undergone material
change in occupation during the de-
cade and that the inhabitants instead
of being closely grouped together and
engaged in mining pursuits. have be-
come scattered along its streams and
have engaged in agriculture.
In the east it is seen that settlement
is spreading with some rapidity in
Maine, its unsettled area having dwin-
died from II, 600 to about 4, 900 square
miles. The unsettled portion of the
Adirondack region in New York has also
diminished, there being now but /, 600
square miles remaining unsettled. The
frontier has been pushed further south
ward in Florida and the unsettled area
has been reduced from 20. 800 to Is, 900
square miles. The mbering and
mining interests OF Michigan have
practically obliterated its wilderness
and have reduced that of Wisconsin to
one-half its former area In Mime
sofa the area of its wild northern for
ests have been reduced from "a, 900 to
to 23, 900 square miles.

WASHINGTON, April AT the de-
partment of justice ingenuity is at
work to establish a system OF national
registration which will make as nearly
impossible as may be any future ques-
zion of citizenship such as has arisen
in come ction with the Italian incident
at New Orleans. Solicitor General
Taft was asked this afternoon if it
would be practicable to keep a regis
ter of the persons naturalZed in this
country at the department OF justice
so that the federal government, con-
gress. the courts or any private citizen
could. without delay or expense, de-
termine the question OF citizenship Of
any one claiming to be or not have
been naturalized.
''Yes, said the general solicitor.
'such thing is not only practicable,
but good suggestion. and | think it
should be suggested to congress. 1t
could be accomplished by making it
compulsory for officers who administer
naturalization papers to forward a sy-
nopsis or memorandum of the personal
statement OF the citizen naturalized to
this department. We could issue the
officers uniform card of small size
and with brief blanks to be filled and
these could be fled here in compact
and permanent way so that any one at
moments notice could ascertain
whether any person had or had not
been naturalized, and if so when,
where and something as to nationality
birth, age and so forth. 1t could
be kept in form similar to the military
records being kept on cards at the war
department by Colonel Ainsworth. 1t
would be great convenience, but ii
! would be necessary to make it very
obligatory upon court officers to for
ward the names OF all who may be nat
uralized in every place hereafter,
together with other information neces.
sary. as court officers are negligent,
have found. 1t could be made obliga.
tory upon these officers to forward the
statement in every instance and then
make it a necessary part of the ma
turalization. Then the government
would have at its fingers ends, so tC
speak, the information to determine
upon moments notice and beyond
doubt the question of citizenship in all
cases. 1t is important for very many
! reasons
