Secretary Foster Gives an Emphatic ! Decision In Regard to the Gold He.
 serve
 WASHINGTON, Feb 1.-The treasury situation shows improvement. Heavy re- ceipts and smaller expenditures have had the effect of showing gain in the net balance, which for the past few days he'd dropped down to dangerously low mar gin. To-day 1t is about $25, 1000. 900, of which SIC, ,000, ,000 is in subsidiary coin and a like amount in national bank de- positaries.
 The margin few days ago was only about $23, ,00O, 900 which, taking out the two items named left the treasury with 8 very narrow margin to work on.
 All the heavy payments likely to accrue this month have been made. So far the pension payments have aggregated $10,- es7, 900; the total necessary for the month Is estimated at $15, ,5OO,O ,O00. The total ex- penditures SO far foot up $21, ,000, 900 while the receipts foot up $19, ,750, 900. For the remainder of the month the receipts are expected to increase and the expenditures to decrease, so that at the end of the month the account will about balance. The net balance at the beginning of February by the debt statement was $25, ,265, ,O6S.
 Treasury officials are still interested in the question of keeping intact the $lO0,- 000, ,O00 gold reserve. Secretary Foster authorized the statement to day that the gold reserve will be kept intact at all hsz. ards. How, he could not say, but he stated with emphasis that If it was necessary to issue bonds to do 1t he would even go to that extreme. At present the free gold is more than $, 900, 900. He said he felt al most certain that he could reach the end of his term without having to issue bonds.
 "Even to issue bonds-say S50, ,000, ,000," said the secretary, "would not necessarily mean an increase in gold to that extent. The law provides that bonds must be paid for in coin. Silver Is coin. What is there to prevent silver or It's equivalent being offered for bondsi Nothing. Could I refusei No. So If even bonds were gold, would that relieve the situstiona Not unless an arrangement based on honor between the secretary of the treasury and the purchaser was made and then I would be subject to all sorts of criticisms. The whole subject is surrounded by vexstions. You may say, however, that the gold re- serve will be kept intact come what may"

 Worth of Stock Which Were Given
 to Her by Her Husband.
 FALL RIVER, Feb. 17.-It is reported that among Mrs. Andrew Borden's effects a memorandum has been found which sug- gests that at some time or other she was more directly interested in her husbands property than has been generally sup posed.
 A list written by her comprising some $S0, 900 worth of stocks in Troy Mill and other first class corporations has been dis covered. Whether this memorandum was dictated by MT. Borden Is not known, but it is not improbable that he contemplated giving his wife these stocks ss her portion of his property, leaving the real estate to be divided between the daughters.
 The list contains substantially record of all MT. Borden's investments and local ven turee. It may or may not have any signif icance, but 1t suggests that the money question was discussed occasionally in the household

HUGH O'DONNELL TEsTIFIEs.
 Land and Acted Throughout as a
 Peacemaker.
 P1TTsBuRe, Feb. 17.-Hugh O'Donnell to-day testified in his own behalf. He said that prior to the day of the Home stead riot he was correspondent of several papers. He begged the Pinkertons not to land, urged them not to shoot and prom ised to keep the crowd quiet. He turned to address the crowd when the firing be- gan. He went to the telegraph office to summon ambulances. He attended to the wounded, sending them to their homes or hospitals. O'Donnell remarked:
 "I in no way aided or abetted the riot of that day and acted throughout, so far as I could, as 8 peacemaker."
 During the cross examination O'Donnell made prompt replies. On order of the court he named several men whom he had called to his assistance in quelling the dis turbance. Witness maintained that the first shot came from the bow of the barges and was followed by fusilade from the stern and as result three or four men on shore fell
 Deputy Sheriff Gray testified that there was no firing from the stern of the barges. Counsel on both sides then presented ar. gument. This evening Judge Stowe charged the jury and the latter retired. At S:3( nothing had been heard from the jury anG
 court adjourned until 9:30 to- morrow. Tn, general impression Is that the verdict vii be one of scquittal.
