TREASURY SAFES AND VAULTS.
What Treasurer Nebeker Says Of Them in
His Annual Report.

What Treasurer Nebeker Says OF Them in
His Annual Report.
In his annual report just Issued from the
government printing Office Mr.. E. H. Nebeker,
treasurer Of the United States, has the follow
Ing to say in the matter Of safes and vaults in
the Treasury Department.:
Attention is respectfully called to the labors
Of the commission appointed under the act Of
Congress approved September 80, 1890. 'for
the purpose Of reporting the best method OF
safe and vault construction, with q view to re-
newing or improving the vault facilities Of the
Treasury Department" By courtesy of the
Secretary and the commission their report,
rendered last summer, was forwarded through
this Office, where it has not failed to arouse the
liveliest interest and to receive the most care
full consideration
The report is so ably prepared, so exhaustive
In the treatment Of its subject and so minute
and complete in its exposition of the existing
state OF the manufacture to which it relates,
that any attempt to give an abstract Of its con-
tents is rendered impossible. IL indeed such a
notice Of II would be proper in this place
under any circumstances. The only way in
which it ought to be given publicity is by print
1t entire, and the hope is enter
tanned that Congress will give it such cir
culation as it deserves, and its value will
surely gain for it, in the form of an executive
document 1t is most important contribu-
ton to the literature Of the subject not only
summarizing in brief space the present de-
velopment OF the art, but also throwing out
suggestions that must prove to be powerful
stimulus to future invention.
The commission have fully Endorsed the rep
reservations heretofore made Of the urgency of
the needs Of this Office and the subtreasuries.
They have also approved, in substance, the
recommendations offered with reference to the

THE GOLD RESERVE.
The Secretary of the Treasury Says 1t will
Be Maintained.

The Secretary of the Treasury Says 1t Will
Be Maintained.
Secretary of the Treasury Charles Foster ex-
pressed himself freely to a reporter yesterday
respecting the alarm felt in financial circles
over anticipated large gold exports. He said
he looked upon the situation not simply as a
spectator awaiting his retirement from Office.
81 am Secretary Of the Treasury" ne said,
land will be until relieved on the 4th of March
next Ny duty will be performed in the inter-
est Of the public welfare as vigorously as if my
term were not soon to end Every resource at
my command will be availed of to preserve the
parity of gold and silver. as l am commanded
by law"
"How about the reserve in the treasury
''No one can obtain gold from the treasury
without paying the money for 1t, and with the
money thus received l can recoup the gold.
There is also the right vested in the Secretary
OF the Treasury to cell bonds il necessary to
maintain the gold reserve. The treasury stu
alton as to the cash balance is such TO permit
the free use of cash received for gold to again
obtain the gold"
''Will the gold reserve be mnintained?"
at will bei' This was stated with the utmost
emphasis. II firmly believe that with the
resources at the command of the department
shall not be seriously embarrassed in more than
maintaining it. l recommended to Congress in
my annual report that the reserve be increased
from 800, 900, 900 to S125,00O ,O00."
As the Secretary report was prepared before
the present abnormal drain of gold to Europe
started Secretary Foster claimed credit for fully
anticipating the present pressure and taking all
precautions to meet it.

SENATOR ALLISON's REMARKS.
His Estimate of the Value of the Dicus sions
of the Monetary Conference


After NJ. Renzi's motion had been proposed at
the monetary conference 20 adjoarn until May
in Brussels on Saturday, as telegraphed to The
STAR, Senator Allison made a short speech in
behalf of the United States delegation He
laid emphasis upon the fact that throughout
the debate nobody had suggested that either OF
the money metals be discarded. During the
adjournment he said. the delegates would have
time to study the Rothschild and other pro-
posals that had been submitted.
Although the conference has been of brief
duration" he continued, 1.-The discussions that
have taken place have been of great value, and
We think 1t wise to resume the delibera tons
after recess. Any agreement at which the
conference might arrive would probably re-
quire large concessions on our part. 1t is there
fore, natural that the democratic admnistra-
lon which is about TO come into Office in the
United States, and upon which the responsible
ity for such action would fall, should have an
opportunity to direct the course of the United
States delegates. 1t would, consequently. be
advantageous to the United States if the confer
ence should adjourn long enough 10 enable the
new government to consider what shall be done"
Mr.. Bertram Currie of the British delegation
objected to the reassembling of the conference
on the ground that as three previous monetary
conferences had failed, there was little prospect
Of the present one being a success.
Sir c. Rivers Wilson of the British delegation
concurred in the opinion of Mr.. Currie.
Nevertheless, the conference decided to re-
assemble in May.

A REAssURISG STATEMENT FROM THE DOCTORS.
At $50 O'Clock last night a reporter for the
United Press had an interview with Mr.. Blaine's
attending physicians, Drs. W. W. Johnston and
Franck Hyatt. Speaking for them both DR..

mo. it is not; but in the general weakness
from which Mr.. Blaine is suffering. ALI the
organs are affected and the heart makes man
ifest the weakness of the whole system. Mr..
Blaine's condition has been such that when he
takes cold. as he did ten days or two weeks ago,
fever follows. causing deterioration of the
system. For some days prior to and including
yesterday, however, he was recovering from the
effects OF the cold and fever, and last night ne

This morning. however he had an ill turn

gains sufficient strength to overcome or obviate
future attacks like that of today, there is moth

Acting Secretary Solely has issued the follow
ing naval order:
When by reason Of want of work at any
navy yard reductions are made in the force of
workmen which involve a correspond
ing reduction in the superintend-
ing force, the head of the department
will report the changes he deems neces-
sary in the latter force, with a recommended
ton in each case, having reference to in
dividual qualifications, but sdhering always
to the rule that foreman, quarterman or
leading man, whose services are no longer
required in his grade, shall be given priority
for retention in the NEXT lower grade. This re-
port will be forwarded by the commsndant with
his recommendations to the department for its
approval.
This order may not altogether please the
foremen in the yards, for it provides for their
retention only in lower grade.
Heretofore it has been customary to retain the
foremen in their full positions when reduc-
tons were necessary.

Tho Making and Care OF Rnrors.

English and foreign makers Of raZors
employ different methods. The foreigner
makes his blade very hard and does not
draw the temper so much as is done in
America \ Swedish razor is very hard
indeed, and liable to break, but has II Won
derful edge, and If it does not meet With
accident will do good service for years.
Rodgers also makes a very hard edge as
does also Crooke, other makers not going
to tho extreme. Some makers abroad and
very generally in America make n blade
latter will rise and fall very perceptIbly
as it Is drawn along the thumb nail.
The tempcring Of n razor is n matter OF
great care. Should n drop OF grease get
into the cooling water the batch would lie
made brittle and spoiled. To draw the
temper some makers tie u dozen blades to
gether, dip the bundle in oil, and put il
before blaze long enough to burn the
oil OF.
Some razors are honed by laying the
bade fiat, while others have edges which
which do not allow this The edges OF
razors are half, threc-quarters and full con
cave the latter requiring smaller stones in
grinding. Razors should be carefully
wiped after using, and the English recon-
mend lint made in their country as the
best material for that purpose. This lint

blade; it's drying qualities are such that II
will instantly absorb every particle OF
