FOSTER Is CONFIDENT.
He Does Not Think There Is Any Danger
of Panic.


WASHINGTON, D. c., December 19.-
The Treasury Department was kept
fully advised Of the progress OF the
stock market In New York to-day, and
Secretary Foster was In conference
with his assistants several times upon
the situation. After the department
closed the assistant secretaries, Messrs.
Gear, Spaulding and Lambertson,
gathered in the secretary's room and
discussed the events of the day. There
a reporter Of the United Press found
them with no Indication OF any excite
ment apparent.
The Secretary said in answer to q
question based on report printed IN
New York stating that he was much
exercised over the matter, and intended
To come over to New York to consult
the bankers: 81 am not going TO New
York to confer with bankers or anyone
else about the financial situation.
There is nothing in it TO warrant such
action. The idea has not previously
occurred to me-"
"You have noticed the engagements
for gold shipments tomorrow, ana the
panicky feeling reported on the stock
exchange"
"Oh YES. But there was more COM

at 500, ,0OO, 900, and l have S24,OOO,OOo
more than that. The resources
of this country are greater and
more varied than most people
know, and the money paid to the treas
ury can be used for replacing the
amount sold. The money is needed
west and south to buy grain, provisions
and cotton, and il can save man hye

tion of our public debt to that
extent with the accompanying saving

if Governor Gears friend wants to re-
new his wager that gold will be at a
premium before the 4th OF March, I'll
take It, and double it afterwards for the
remainder OF the fiscal year ending June

Then the Secretary and Mr.. Gear fell
TO exchanging observations on the pros

THE POISONING CASES.
Dempsey surrenders and is Released on
$4,000 Bail.

PTrTsBURG, PA, December 19.-No
additional informations have been
lodged yet In the Homestead poisoning
cases, and no more arrests made. The
attorneys for the Carnegie Steel Com
pany are devotlng their energies to the
collection Of evidence to substantlate
the poisoning confessions, though they
preserve strict silence as 10 their plans.
1t is reported that they have sub
ponaed 2O5 witnesses-all non-union
men. who were attacked by diseases.
Attorney Brennan, for the defense, and
Master Workman Dempsey are waiting
for the next move of the Company. IL
"a not believed that action will be de-
layed much longer. An official OF the
Company is quoted as saying that the
ATTORNEYS do not particularly care for
Beatty, Davidson and Gallagher, but
are looking for larger game-the lead
ers whom they believe instigated the
poisoning.
Patrick Galaher Is yet missing,
though the prosecuting counsel does
not seem alarmed over that, but is will
ling to wait until it is necessary to pro-
duce him, and the impression prevails
that Gallaher can be produced when
wanted.
Arnold Frank insists that poison was
administered TO the Homestead steel
workers. This morning he said: "At
one time there were over 200 men con-
fined to their hunks at the same time
suffering from stomach troubles. l am
a veterinary surgeon anu in Europe
learned many principles OF medicine
especially in the treatment OF diGrrhea
and similar complaints. noticed,
though, that none of the usual remedies
produced any effect on the men stricken
in the mill and they were never cured
until they left the steel works. As for
myself, had never been sick In my life,
though l had been 10 Brazil when fever
was raging. Yet was suddenly seized
with cramps and acute diarrhea and
was laid up for weeks. My weight was
reduced from 240 TO IT'S pounds, ana l
have not yet recovered my health. l
awoke one morning In the best OF
health, and as overseer Of the lsbering
gang worked until noon, then went into
a cook house and ate. One hour after
ward / was suddenly stricken and suf-
fered intolerable agony for days"
II was learned to-day that II poison
was administered with the object OF
driving away the men who were at
work, the plan was nearly successful,
for in the last week OF September the
non-unionlsts were so frightened over
the alarming sick roll that the mill su-
perintendents were forced to use every
endeavor to prevent stampede.
This evening Dempsey called at the
Alderman's Office and surrendered. he
was released on 50, 500 bail. He strong
ly asserts his innocence, and says he
Will have ne trouble in proving 1t. Da-
wilson has not yet been arrested.

Whisky Trust is allotted space next
to Chicago Gas. Distillers and Cattle

certificates sold at 81, fall OF Z per
