the Customs Administrative act, the
Antitrust act, the act increasing the
Treasury's monthly purchase of silver to
1850, 600 ounces, the Original Package

some degree of revenge to-day by de-
feating the Foreign Affairs COMMITTEES

construction of the Hawaiian cable with
privilege of purchase. This measure
was strongly insisted upon as of inter
national Importance and the Senate re-
sisted its elision from the bill.

The Amber Sunnlr..l

The supply of amber is&bsing grad

formed by the hardening of resinous
ground; ana, as it is the work of ages
for the formatipn to reach the proper

tending the Quantity. However, the
limitations of'ainber are so excellent that
it will hardly he missed for the orna-
mental purposes for which it has been

essary for d1l1y two uses: Orientals like
it for their IDOLS, and it is valuable in

difficulties, but the needs of science can

THE STRONG FOX EMPTY.

Big Treasury Shortage.


Rte Treasury Shortage.
WILMINGTON, Del, March 4.-The sen
sation regarding eS-Treasurer Herbert's
accounts continues. Herbert is unable
to'pay the State the balance due of $5l.
900, and his bondsmen will be sued. The
total value of the missing securities Is
$847, 440.
The State has been getting its inter
est regularly, so it is not thought She
securities have been hypothecated or
made away with. There are $685., 700 in
the Farmers National Bank, in which
the State holds a controlling interest,
so there is no fear of losing in that direc-
ton.
When Treasurer Herbert went into Of
nee he was given Il tin box by his prede'
cessor, and that box was supposed to
contain the securities now missing. But
Mr. Herbert, so it appears from state
ments now made, never saw any of tho
stocks or bonds. State Treasurer Bur-
mite says that these stocks have not been
seen for l2 years. The queer fact Is that
three treasurers supposed that the box
contained $547,440, without actually
knowing IL.
