WASHINGTON, ID. c., May 27.-The
depleted condition OF the treasury aud
the discoursging outlook for the future
are source OF considerable anxiety 10
the officials OF TIE treasury department.
Already the gold reserve. which has
been brought up by the last bond issue
to s107, 800. sac. has been reduced by ex-
portations since March 10 TO less than
$50, 600, 600 with no indications that the
foreign demand will cease until IL
has reached a much lower point With
the exception OF the gold re-
serve. and counting every available dol
lar In the vaults In the treasury the
government to-day has less than $780,
000 600 with which TO meet its obliga-
tIons. Nor does the future show any
signs OF encouragement. 90 the con-
trary, the probable deficit of Sc. .O00 600
for the month OF May Is likely 10 be-
increased by $4,000, 900 during the
two succeeding months. The clos
est calculation that can now be made
shows that the deficit for the
fiscal year ending June 30, will be APP
proximately 74.500, 900. Close esti-
mates place the receipts for May at
$40, 500, 900 and the disbursements S2s,-
500, 900. For June. the receipts are
likely TO be about sea, 1000, 900 and the
expenditures SIC, 900, making the
total receipts for the fiscal year Seql,-
500, 749, aud the disbursements $685.

While It is confidently believed that
the receipts for July will increase some

the disbursements will Increase. A

Mrs. 3. Bluestein Emphaticaiiy Denie'
the Allegations OF the sistersvills Teie-
gram in the Register.
Mrs. s. Bluestein. of Sistersville, VINO
figured in q somewhat sensational teie-
gram in Yesterdays edition OF the Sun
DAY REGISTER, came up to the city yes,
terday and registered at the Hotel
Winds sor. Mrs. Bluestein was seen
by a reporter for the REGISTER
last evening, and entered very
vigorous aud circumstantial denial OF
all the material allegations contained IN
the telegram, saying the only element
of truth contained In it was the lact
that her husband had published her In
the papers some DAYS ago. IL was
true, she said, that she and her husband
bad serious differences and that
she had left him, and ascrloed
these troubles to her husbands
gambling propensities. Mrs. Bluestein
was particularly indignant at the
statement that Sistersville police offi-
Ger had found her in an East wheeling
resort, and said that she came TO
Wheeling last Tuesday, registered at the
hotel, and left on Wednesday for Pitts
burg, not returning until Friday and
going back to Sistersville Saturday.
The REGISTER, OF course, greatly re-
grets that any wrong or injustice has
been done Mrs. Bluestein, and very
cheerfully makes this correction OF the
Sistersville telegram complained OF.

parties interested to come 70 any def
mite understanding, but Mayor Lindsay
is In hopes that the matter may be ar
ranged before morning.
The idea Of arbitration was suggested
yesterday by President Slocum. OF the
Colorado College, TO number of min
ing men OF Colorado Springs. They
were 10th to listen to him for time,
but after working with them the entire
day and up to midnight. they finally
consented that he might make an ef-
fort to end the strike. II the miners
tomorrow accept the proposition
they will appoint two men. the
mine owners two men and the four TO
select a fifth. In advance Ii has been
stated that eight hours shall constitute
a days work, and all that will have TO
be arbitrated is what shall be received
therefor. An awful strain has been
lifted from the community and a ma
jority OF the people feel convinced that
the trouble is ended.
At 5 o'clock this morning Governor
Waite recalled his order for the troops
to start for Cripple Creek.

Flooded and Not In workable Condition
The supply of Hard Coal, as Well as OF
Soft, is Running Low.
PHILDELPHIA, PA, May 27.-The an
thracite coal trade, like the bituminous
trade, is at a stand still, though from
vastly different causes. The foods
throughout the anthracite region have
flooded many Of the mines, fore
ing q suspension of work until the
flooded mines eau be relieved OF the
surplus water. The result Of the en-
forced stoppage, together with the cur
tailed production Of the anthracite min
ing companies for several months past,
has prod uced a scarcity Of hard coal,
especially is this the case with the
Reading Company, which has been COM
PEELED within the past few days 10 de-
cline orders. Out Of some forty collier
les operated by the Reading, all
but twelve are at present in . condition
TO prevent the mining OF coal, out
the company's officials expect In
q few days TO have the major
ity Of them pumped out and In
operation. Such of the mines as are In
workable condition are being pushed to
their fullest extent, orders having been
issued to work all OF them ten hours a
daY and every day in the week.
In the Lehigh region there has also
been some enforced stOppage from min
ing, principally In the Hazelton region,
where FIVE Of the twelve colleries are
idle.
In the Wilkesbarre region the mines
hu ~
are running as usual. A number OF in
dividUal operators were drowned out
and forced to a temporary stoppage.

OF Woodford County.

Sent by Governor AItGeld to the Sheriff
OF woodford County.
SPRINGFIELD, Ills, May 27.-The
sheriff OF Woodford county telegraphed
Governor Altgeld this evening that a
mob OF striking miners is obstructing
coal traffic on the Illinois Central road;
that he and the municipal authorities
have done all they could and calling for
help. He had sworn in force OF dep
uties, but had no arms or ammunition
for them. As the Governor had shipped
the last of the rifles In the State armory
to Elmwood this morning on requisi-
tion from the mayor Of that place, be
ordered two companies Of the Fourth
Regiment to start for Minonk at once
to aid the sheriff All is quiet at Min
onk tonight, but the miners refuse to
allow coal trains to move.
The Mayor Of Elmwood wired that
the town had been visited twice by mobs
of strikers and that he was informed
that much larger mob would come to-
morrow.

The situation at Cripple Creek.

DENVER, COL, May 27.-Ever since It
became known Governor Waite intend
ed to call out the troops, the citizens
here have been trying TO solve the pc
culiar situation. The situation is SUBJ
stantlally as follows:
A body of miners strike for shorter
days and more pay. The strikers arm
themselves. construct Notifications, as
sault non-union men lin some cases
taking life), apd bring In to the region
large quantities of ammunition. The
mine owners finally decided to resume
work on their properties and be-
lieviug their employees will
need protection call upon the sheriff.
The sheriff being cognizant of the prep.
arations made by the strikers, swears In
O number OF deputies. many Of whom
reside in adjoining counties, supplies
them with arms and assemblies them
near the scene OF strike.
Governor Waite is aware OF the state
OF affairs.
He has not been called upon for aid
by the sheriff of the county In which
the trouble exists, but issues procla-
nation calling on the people TO lay
down their arms and disperse and calls
out the militia to enforce the prolama-
ton.
Good legal authorities have given
opinions, both for and against the stand
the Governor has taken.
The charge is not openly made, but
there are many people who feel, In
view of the Governors expressed SYM
pathy with the strikers, that 1t was the
Governors desire to disperse the depu-
ties only. although the proclamation
called upon all men TO lay down arms
and disperse.
The issue OF this strike is thought to
be OF the greatest importance. There
is a feeling that If the strikers win the
other gold and silver mining camps will
Immediately be the scene Of trouble,
although in many OF them there is no
evidence of dissatisfaction. Some pa.
pers which in the past
have supported Governor Waite,
to-day express the opinion that the
Governor has no right to call out the
militia except In aid OF the civil author
tiles. as military power should be sec.
ond to the civil power. III IS thonght
this accounts for the recall Of the mill
tary order.
Although efforts to arbitrate are be-
ing made and the deputies have with.
drawn, recruiting is going on and
additional bodies Of deputies are
on the move. The force that
was at Cripple Creek has
returned to Colorado Springs with the
intention, it is said, to re-enter the
field by the Midland route. They
should reach the scene Of trouble by
tomorrow night. The force has been
increased to about 900 men.

this morning that the loud report
heard last night were signals for
the massing of the foreign miners at
Spring Valley to be In readiness to
march to La Sale to-day, there was
considerable excitement at camp Mat
thiessen and visitors were carefully
scrutinized. but tonight all is quiet.
1t Is known, however, that the COM
rades of the men arrested by the troops
yesterday are very angry and have been
organizing an armed mob to avenge the
wrongs which they claim are being
done to their fellow miners by the de-
tention by the sheriff.
Col. Bennett and his command are
we'll prepared for trouble, and as an ex-
ira precaution the pickets were doubled
at o'clock this evening. The men
under arrest have
MANY sYNPATHIZERs
in La Sale and Pana, who will no doubt
take part in any concerted action on
the prospect OF securing their release
So far as this city is concerned 1t Is
the universal opinion that the leaders
will use every precaution to keep the
foreigners from committing depreda-
tions, so long as the militia is here.
Six of the prisoners taken by the
troops at the instance OF the sheriff. and
who were carrying concealed weapons
at the time they captured the train at
Ladd, were sent out Of camp this morn
ing and lodged in the county jail at
Ottawa. They will be given q prelimi-
nary examination tomorrow.
Word was received from Minonk that
riotous miners had taken possession OF
the town, and stopped trains on the
Illinois Central railroad, which the rail-
way officials were
OBLIGED TO ABANDON,
also that the Sheriff OF Woodford
county had telegraphed to Governor
Altgeld for troops, being unable to con-
troll the mob.
1t is thought by the strike leaders,
as well as the mine owners here, that
the meeting of Mr.. Mcbride with the
Illinois coal operators At Springfield
will have good results, and that set
tlemeut OF the strike would settle the
rioting.
