THE NATIONAL TREASURY.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Secretary
| Foster has not yet arrived at any con-
clusion as to the plan to be adopted for
| the refunding of the AZ per cent bonds,
| amounting to $50, ,000, 900, which fall due
on Sept. l. In the course of conversation
on The condition of the government
! finances, Secretary Foster expressed him
self as having no fear of the inability of
| the government to meet all its obligations
as they might arise There would be no
trouble, he said, about the next quarterly
payment of pensions in June, aggregating
between SO, 1000. .0O00 and SOS, 100000. The
available money at the disposal OF the
treasury he placed at about $40. 900, 900.
Included in this aggregate the secretary
mentioned the subsidiary coin now in the
treasury, the large amount of deposits
held by national banks, the surplus Of ap-
proximately Sl1, 600. and also about
sc, 900 900 in bullion and &, 600 900 In silver
dollars in the treasury upon which no
certificates had been issued Nothing has
yet been decided upon with respect to the
method to be adopted to get into circula-
tion the subsidiary silver coin now in the
treasury vaults.
LEECH'S OPINION.
WASHINGTON, April 25-Mr Edward o.
Leech, director Of the mint, has this much
to say about the condition of the United
States treasury: The amount of money In
the United States treasury On the first of
this month was over $751; ,000, 900, of which
S493, 000. 900 was trust money" held for
the redemption of gold, silver and cur
rency certificates and the balance Of $685.
900, 900 belonged to the treasury just as alb
solutely as any property which the govern
ment owns. With S25S, 600, 0OO available
for any of the legitimate expenses of the
government, it is ridiculous to talk about
there being the slightest probability of
any obligation Of the government being
dishonored.
A TREASURY CIRCULAR.
WASHINGTON, April 25.-Secretary Foster
today issued the following circular discon-
tinuing redemption at ~ per cent bondsi
with view to reserYing the residue Of
the ~ per cent loan for adjustments within
the fiscal year, which begins on the first OF
july next, public notice is hereby given
that redemptions of the bonds of that loan
will be discontinued for the present and
the circular Of October i9, 1890, under
which such redemptions have been made,
is hereby rescinded. Due public notice |
will hereafter be given of the action of the |
department with respect to the ~ per |
cent bonds"
The action taken by Secretary Foster is |
believed to be first of a series of measures
intended to put the treasury in condition |
to meet the heavy obligations which are |
expected to fall due before congress reas-
sembleS.

taking that there is certain to be q cordial
support OF the proposed grant The de-
| cision OF tho government to ask grant Is
an unusual sign of friendliness. In the
| case Of the French exhibition no appro-
prlatlon was made.
While everything is favorable as lar as
the government and the feeling OF tnfiuen-
tial people is concerned, it must be admit
ted that probable exhibitors show marked
indifference, which is entirely owing to the
Lack of Information and the absence Of any
one to supply information. Everything
already done is due almost solely TO the
spontaneous efforts OF Sir John WOOD,
and other mem bers of the Fine Art soci-
ETY.. who bad charge of England's exhibits
Ia Franoa Mr.. Drsdge accompanied the
iron and steel men to America in 1890 and
it is probable that he and Sir John Wood
will be members Of the Chicago commits
sion.
Mr.. Dredge said I'VE are anxious to
do all We can for the fair. but we are work
ing under difficulties. We have no infor-
nation such as exhibitors must obtain be-
fore preparing exhibits. Chicagoans must
bessir themselves If they wish England to
be freely represented" There are many
prejudicss to be overcome: Among the
difficulties Is the absence OF any one here
able to give information In regard to space
and transportation of freight from the sea-
board. The Mckinley bill is still bug
bear. All sorts of false reports are pub
lished concerning the fair. quarrels among
the directors about sites, etc: Fables
about leaning towers are spread broadcast.
Official information is necessary to coun-
teract these canards. While many of them
are on their face absurd, an impression re-
mains which does harm. For instance, the
Economist says that the Illinois laws will
probably prevent the employment in the
fair buildings of people sent from abroad
in charge of exhibits. The people OF Chi
cago ought to act instantly if they expect
or desire creditable display on the part
of England"

War Rumors Spread In London b!
an American Correspondent - I'm
quiry by Secretary Blaine.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 20.-Secretar.
Blaine was asked to-day if the state de
partment had learned what was the caus,
of the war excitement fortnight since IL
London. He replied that he had just re
ceived copy of the London Times of Jan
uary 6, in which he found dispatch from
its regular American correspondent dated
Philadelphia, January s, as follows:
NAVAL orders recently issued indicate
the gathering of a formidable feet in the
Pacific waters before the Behring sea fish
ing season opens. Eleven war ships and
five revenue cutters are now or will soon
be there, having 80 guns and 2,262 men.
Seven other steamers, it is rumored, will
also be chartered for revenue duty, thereby
increasing the fleet to Twenty-Five ships,
with III guns and 5000 men, including
two of the fastest and most powerful of
the new cruisers-the San Francisco and the
Charleston. All these arrive at Port
Townsend by May 1. Six are at San Fran
cisco and nine others in the Pacific"
Mr.. Blaine said that on hearing of this
unfounded and nfischievous telegram he
had sent to the navy department and had
been informed by Secretary Tracy that
there had been this winter a smaller naval
force on the Pacific than at any time for
the last ten years. Instead of the large
force with III guns shd 5000 men as the
Times correspondent stated the whole
number of ships is 5, the guns 81 and the
number of men $3.50. The force is not so
great as it was in January, 1890, and the
force then was much smaller than in Janu-
airy, 1889. Mr.. Blaine added that he
thought that the correspondent of the
Times owed an explanation to the Ameri-
can people. 1t is stated at the navy de-
partment that anyone making inquiry
could have received definite and accurate
no excuse whatever for transmitting erron-
eous statements to Europe.

FIGHT WITH BURGLARS.

Two burglars Attempt to Make .
Cashier Open \ Safe and q Desperate
Fight Ensues-After Firing Two
Shots, ono OF which Passed Through
the Cashiers Hat, tho Burglar
Make Good Their Escape.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Jan. OOH. W.
Phillips, cashier at the local agency Of
Armour & Co., the dressed meat dealars,
accosted two burglars in the Office about
$50 tonight. A desperate struggle ensued,
in which the burglars fred twice, one bull
let passing through Phillips hat. The
burglars attempted to mako Phillips open
the safe, but finally made their escape.
There were about $500 in the safe. Phillips
was going by the Office and noticed that
the light was out, went in to investigate. In
the entrance he was seized by burglar, who
throttled him and finally released him only
on condition that Phillips go into the Office
and open the safe. They went in, the bur-
glar holding Phillips by the collar. Think
ing he saw a chance Phillips turned and at
tempted to strike his assailant with chair.
Then the second burglar was heard from,
Phillips hat and bedding itself in the
wall. Phillips made a dive for the man
with the revolver, who fired again. In
the struggle that followed Phillips shouted
at the top of his voice and the fellows
were frightened away. When the police
arrived they found everything in confu-
sion, the Office furniture being knocked
about. The safe was unopened, however,
and the money was untouched. Marshal
Southmayd has carefully investigated tho
matter and the young mans account of
the affair seems trustworthy in every
way. There is no clue to the burglars,
they left a revolver and the tool

SERIOUS RAILROAD STRIKE

Tie.Up Ordered Last Night on the
Chicago and Erie Six Hundred
Men Involved.
HUNTINGTON, Ind, Jan. 20.-The Chi
cago and Erie railroad has serious strike
on its hands Ever since the appointment
of F. E. Merrill as superintendent of the
road there has been considerable dissatis-
faction among the employees. About thirty
days ago G. G. Scott, one of the train dis
patchsrs, was discharged, but all the des-
patchers took up his cause and threatened
tie-up. The matter was compromised by
the company, suspending him for thirty
days, with the understanding that he
was to be reins tated at the end of the
time. The thirty days was up on Sunday,
when the officials discharged Scott from
the employ of the company. The
employees claim that the discharge was a
breach of faith on the part of the railway
officials and resented it. The members of
the different brotherhoods, engineers, con-
ductors and firemen took the matter up
and decided to tie up the road at 10 O'Clock
tonight. The strike on the Chicago and
Erie from Marion, Ohio, to Chicago will
| involve not less than 900 men, which the
employees of the New York, Pennsylvania
| and Ohio and the New York, Lake Erie
| and Western as far east as Salamanca en-,
dorse the movement and will aid the mer

DEATH OF KING KALAKAUA.
The End Comes at lhe Palace Hotel
| In San Franciseo-The Kings CHIEF
OF Staff and Chamberlain at his
Bedside-His Successor.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 2O.-Kalakaua,
king of the Hawaiian Islands, died at the
Palace hotel, in this city, at 2:e0this after
noon.
At his bedside were his physicians and
other attendants, including Consul General
McKinle, Colonel R. H. Baker, the kings
chief of staff, Colonel George McFarlane,
his chamberlaine, and several ladies. As
the end was seen to be approaching, Rev.
DR.. J. Sanders Reed, rector of Trinity
church, began reading scriptural passages
which were continued until Medical In
spector Woods, who was bending over the
king, announced that the last spark Of
life had fled.
The kings remains will be embalmed at
once. While no definite arrangements
have been made yet for the funeral SER
vices here and the removal of the re-
mains to the island, it is probable
that the services will be held in Trinity
Episcopal church on Thursday and that
the remains will leave for Honolulu on
the United States flagship Charleston
before the close of the week. The flags
on all the public buildings in this city
were placed at half-mast this afternoon
Kalakaua became king of Hawaii in Feb
ruary, 1874. His successor will be his
sister, Princess Ielinokalani, who has been
acting as queen-regent during Kalakaua's
absence from the islands.
