WASHINGTON, Aug. 2G.-Mr. Vest Fri

read before the senate communion
ton from the director of the mint, sent
in response to an inquiry, giving statis-

purchased since 1STS--the date of the

coined, etc.
Mr.. Vest summed mp these figures in
order to show that if all the silver dol

NEARLY BANKRUPT.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20. AS stated in
these dispatches more than week ago
the treasury department is practically
in state of bankruptcy. There are no
funds except the gold reserve with
which to defray the daily expenses OF
the government, and for some time
past the treasury officials have been
striving to hit upon some plan whereby
the emptied vaults might be re.
plenished, or the funds on deposit

congress which should afford relief Of
some kind, but the probability of its
being put to one side as long as the
silver question engages the attention
of the two houses, leads to the abandon

Of money, however, has forced the
treasury department to take some de-
cisive action, and Friday it was decided
to pay off all obligations in gold.
Treasurer Morgan Friday made an
order to this effect, and the yellow
metal was accordingly paid out in place
of grecnbacks.
This plan is the sequent to the ac-
ton of the department three weeks
ago." said Treasurer Morgan Friday.
"At that time it issued orders to the
various subtreasurers to make their
payments in gold. We are now following
the plan inaugurated in our subtreasur.
