Immense Sums OF Money Hold by Collect
ors of Coins and Currency.
WASHINGTON, Dsc. 29.-In all the matter
recently written about the depleted condi-
tion OF the United States treasury, little or
no account has been taken of the fact that
with each passing year She treasury is Il
large gniner by the complete destruction by
casualty of its outstanding obligations.
How muoh this amounts to, the best statisti
clans of the treasury department have no
means of definitely ascertaining. No two
figure alike. Since 1862. when the govern
ment began to issue paper money, $5,S19,-
629, 1Oo WAS Issued mp to July l, 1892.
Within the same period $4,s52, l5l 500 was
redeemed, leaving outstanding on July l,
1892, liability against the government of
$967 III, 4T9. In an exhaustive inquiry on
the subject. made by United States Treas
urer Hyatt, IL is estimated that the agsre-
gate loss on all issues up to January. 1888,
would not be less than $S 700.0 900. The es.
innate did not include tho fractional cur
rency so cent. 20 cent, 10 cent and five cent
shin plastols in such extensive circulation
for few years following the war.
United States Treasurer Nebeker, in hiE
report this year. states that more than
100000 of this fractional currency is
outstanding, though 1t has practically gone
out of circulation, and but little more than
$4,000 was preGented for redemption last
year. That outstanding is held to a great
extent BY collectors of coins, and it's value
as such is greater than the face value. The
aggregate United States currency. frac-
tional and otherwise estimated to have
been destroyed and not likely to be pre-
sented for redemption, approximates by
these figures more than $l4 1000. 900. A re-
cent estimate prepared in the tteasury do
partment places the sum as high as $20000,-
900. Money can only be taken ont of the
Liabilities of the government by congress
sional enactment. This will probably be
attempted in the near future.

THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE,

Representative Springer Says the System
Is an Outrage.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-"Ths electoral
college. as il how stands. is a miserable
fraud" said Representatives Springer to-day,
land the idea that all the votes in the cleo
soral college from great state like New
York should go TO one party by matter OF
q hundred or two hundred votes is a great
fraud upon the electors of the country.
some of the newspapers misapp rehend
the proposition which submitted ON this
subject. The popular vote oontem plated is
confined to each state. The states will have
the Same number of electoral votes that
they now have in the election of president
and vice. president. There will be no per-
sons running aa candidates for electors, but
the electoral vote OF each state will be ap-
portioned among the several candidates
according to the number of popular votes
each receive In that state, the odd votes
going to the candidates having the largest
fractions. This will prevent the vicious
practice OF Rerrymandering, and gives ex-
act weight to the popular vote which each
candidate receives in the state. II will ne-
tionalize tho presidential election and
render contests of the succession next to
impossible. Politically. it would give effect
to the popular will. limited only by the
just representation which each state is en-
titled in the electoral college. and would
not spread large majorities in one locality
beyond the limits of the state. Besidessit
would make vote-buying Intellectual, and
therefore imperative
Mr.. Springer said that the proposition
seemed to be growing in favor, and was
certainly attracting great deal of interest.

capable Of producing nos only tho hsavisss
armor. bat will be equipped for she manu-.
facture OF guns, shot and shell. and heavy
forgings of oil descriptions. The project
is said to be the result OF ths policy Of dis-
tribution which has besn observed by the
navy department. in awarding contracts
for the ships of the new navy. At present
every gun and projeotile which is used in
the navy is manufactured in eastern states,
and the cost OF transporting them to the
western coast ID an item of no little inn por-
tance. II is pretty generally conceded,
however. that the carrying ons OF the pro-
jsct will be largely affected by awards for
the construction OF two new vessels, the
Iowa ana tho Bi ooklyn.
Cramps, of Philadelphia, were the lowest
bidders on both ships. and in the event that
the Union Iron works get one OF them. 10 Ia
highly probable that the manufacture Of
armor plates on the coast at least will be
deferred. Secretary Tracy's decision in
regard to the award of the new ships will
probably be made carly next week. In the
meantime. the Indications are that the
Cramps will get both vessels. There is
some talk to the effect that the Union Iron
works will lower their bid ON the Brooklyn
to the amount made By Cramps. IL is safe
to predict that ii such steps are decided
upon by the San Francisco firm the Brook
iyn will be launched in the Pacific.

MrssoULA, Dec. o. Special. Tho most
important session held by state educators
this week took place this afternoon. II
was the meeting of the council. composed
of twenty members, selected from most of
the experienced educators In tho state.
The council met to consider Legislative
matters. and the question OF the advisa-
bility of consolidation Of state educational
interests came ur. The committee recon-
mended that the institutions be consoli-
dated, not re recommendinR any particular
place for their location, but saying they
believe the consolidation would be for the
best interests of the state. In support of
its recommendation the committee quoted
the opinions of the foremost educators
in the United Stntes favoring con-
solidation. including President Eliot,
OF Harvard. There was very lit
tie discussion over the report
of the committee. II has been the theme
among the members of the council over

hausted their arguments both for and
against consolidation. An aye and no vote

on the educational institutional question in
