Money Vaults of the Treasury.
WASHINGTON, May 22.-This morninp
Princess Eulalia, attired in gorgeous
evening dress, went in a closed carriage
to photograph gallery, and evinced the
liveliest interest in the proceedings while
a numbe of negatives were being taken.
At o'clock this afternoon the party
went to the Treasury Department, where
Secretary Carlisle acted as an escort
through the money vaults. News of the
Princess arrival had spread, so the cor
ridor from which the vaults are reached
became solid mass of humanity. @There
are 5000 employees III the Treasury build
ing, and it seemed as though all these
were packed in that poorly-lighted space
The women were more strenuous in their
efforts to see her royal highness. 1t was
the Infanta's first experience with a
crowd of American women, and she en-
joyed it. Impulsively she walked over
to the grating, and nodding her head
briskly, and with her face wreathed in
smiles, ana talking in English, said to
her American admirers, How do you
do? You are very, very good. thank
you so much. 1t is good to be here, for
you are very kind. l like America. l
| like the American people. l like you all
! Thank you. Good bye," and then she
passed on to the next door and talked
with the people there, while a chorus of
''Oh, oh" Isn't she lovely" Isn't she
sweet" went up from the recipients of
her pleasant remarks.
After the Infanta had seen all TO be
seen she came out into the corridors
again on her way to her carriage, leaning
on the arm of Secretary Carlisle. To the
crowd, grown larger by half. she cried.
"Good-by; thank you" The Prince and
others in the party were laughing heart
lily.
From the Treasury Department the
party was driven to the Washington
monument. After a trip to the top and
some time spent in viewing the surround
ings, the visitors descended and were
driven to the Capitol, after which the In
fanta went back to the Arlington.
Luncheon was followed by drive about
the city.

the Ministers. Various municipal securi-
ties were withdrawn by the Ministry,
and long treasury bonds were sub

avoldable immediate bankruptcy should
sudden demand for reimbursements be-
made. King Humbert opposed sweeping
