1t will appear from this statement that the
coin reserve has been reduced to IA, les, 49,
and it is evident from the condition of the
treasury that the department will have no
means to defrav the ordinary expenses Of the
government unless alarge part OF the payments
are hereafter made from that fund IL this Is
done the coin reserve will be reduced by the
Ist of February TO SCI .s54 about a sum
wholly inadequate for the purpose for which it
was Seated. On account of this critical condi-
ton Of the treasury / have considered it my
duty in addition to the earnest recommenda-
tions contained in nv annual report to appear
twice before your committee and nfter full ex-
p anation of the situation, urge prompt legista-
tive action on the subject.
With the permission of the committee, 1
have prepared and presented for its cOnsdera-
tion bill which. il promptly passed would in
my opinion meet all requirements OF the stua-
ton by providing the necessary means for de
fra ling the public expenses and replenishing
the coin reserve to such an extent as to assure
the maintenance Of the parity OF all forms OF
United States currency. While this proposed
measure of relief has not vet been disposed OF
or considered bv the committee the great diff
fereuces of opinion which are known to exist
in both branches Of congress concerning the
propriety OF granting additional or amended
authority TO issue bonds in any form, or for
any purpose render 1t doubtful whether
new legislation Upon the subject can be Sc
cured in time to provide the means which
are imperatively demanded in order TO pre-
serve the credit aud honor of the government
Authority TO issue and sell bonds for the pur-
pose of maintaining specie payment was ex
pressly conferred upon the secretary OF the
treasury by the act OF January II. 1875. but it
has not been exercised since 1879, and on ac-
count of the high rate of interest provided for
and the length of time such binds would have
to run have not teen satisfied that such an
emergency as heretofore exis ted as would clear
" justify their issue
But the necessity for relief at this time Is so
urgent and prospect OF mat rial Improvement
in the financial condition of the governments so
problematical that unless authority 10 issue and
sell shorter bonds other obligations bearing IA
10 yer rate of interest than that specified in the
existing law is granted bv congress at a very

THE TREASURY.
Carlisle Addresses a Letter to
Senator VOORHEES,.
RELIEF Is URGENTLY NEEDED.
The Secretary Presents Figures Showing
Continuous Decrease of Receipts,
with No Immediate Change
Likely.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-The following
letter was forwarded by Secretary Car
isle to Senator Voorhees,, chairman of
the finance committee of the senate:
Hon d. w. Voorhees,. Chairman Committee on
Finance, nited States Senate:
Dear Sir: In compliance with your verbal
request 1 have the honor to submit for the con-
sideration of the finance commit g Of the SEN
ate statements showing the actual condition OF
the treasury on the 18th day of the present
month and an estimate of receipts and expend-
ltures during the remainder OF this month and
the month of February. 1t will be seen from
This statement there is an urgent necessity for
such immediate action as will rsplenish the
coin reserve and enable this department TO con-
tnue the payment of public expenses and dis
charge the obligations of the government TO
pensioners and other lawful creditors
When my annual report was prepared 1t was
estimated the expenses during the current
fiscal year would exceed the receipts to the
amount Of about s2s.0)o000, and i asked con-
yress for authority to issue and sell bonds, or
1ther forms of obligations. TO an amount not
exceeding $4,000 OoO, bearing a low rate Of in
terest and having reasonably short time to
run, to enable the secretary OF the treasury to
supply such deficiencies as might occur in the
revenues.
The estimate then made was based upon the
assumption that the worst effects OF our ffnan-
eial disturbances had already been realized,
and there would be n substantial increase in
the revenues for the remainder OF the year.
While IL is not believed the deficienc then ex-
sting would be supplied By increased revenues
in the future, 1t is hoped no additional def
,iency would occur, but the receipts and ex-
oenditnres during the month OF December and
I'D to the 18th day Of the present month show
that the estimate of deficiency of i2S,00J00O
1t the close of the year was much too low.

TO IND|CT 4 MILLIONAIRE.
Miles Must Answer Charges of
Forgery and Perjury.
Accused by a Nephew who Claims
Iiis Mother Was Robbed.

Millionaire william Miles, who Is eigh-
ty-three years old, and who has been
President of st. Davids Society, direc-
tor In the Hamilton Insurance Company
and the Nassau Bank; President of the
Old Sixpenny Savings Bank. and trus-
tee Of the Cypress Hills Cemetery, is to
be indicted, 1t IL reported, on charges of
forgery and perjury.
The charges are made by William S.
Hurley. nephew OF MIR. Miles, who claims
that the latter robbed his own sister,
Hurley's mother, OF the immensely val
liable property left by her deceased hus-
band, Samuel Hurley, who had been a
partner of Miles in the tannery and real
estate businesses.
After Samuel Hurleys death in 1868.
Niles and his brother Jacob, who had
ALEC been partner, produced VIII
wherein they were named as execu-
tors. Under this will the widow was
allowed $4,000, which, the executors
said. was all the property that mad been
left, business reverses having, 1t IL al
legged, greatly reduced Hurley's prop
erty.
chant, sought to purchase from William
Miles piece of properly fronting on
the river In Williamsburg. He found,
however. that the tenants had not been
paying rent for a long time, and on
asking Miles about 1t. was told that the
properly really belonged to poor rela-
tive called Hurley, and that, therefore,
Miles would only have power to lease ana
not sell II to kerwin.
Mr.. kerwn numbered among his
friends William $. Hurley, and, accord
ingly, he asked him whether ne knew
who the poor relative Hurley might
be.
Hurley started out to investigate, and
made. he claims, the startling discov,
cry that William Miles had withheld
about S5O,OW of his partner, Hurley,,a,
estate. Suit was thereupon begun in the
Supreme Court before Justice Barrett
for the recovery of this amount and
might be discovered during the suit to
have been Incorporated.
During the trial Miles produced con-
tract purporting to have been made by
Samuel Hurley before the latter's death,
transferring, in consideration Of $4,000.
all his property to William and Jacob
Miles.
This contract the plaintiff, Hurley, se-
cured and claimed to be a forgery, In
this view he was upheld by several
handwriting experts The will, too, was
declared to be a forgery. Before the
conclusion of the trial, however, II was
agreed that the Hurleys should accept
100000 in full settlement, and the suit
was discontinued.
Yesterday Mr.. David n. Caryalho, the
handwriting expert, spent all day in
and about the Grand Jury room, and the
indictment which was found against
Miles was principally based upon ex-
pert testimony.
1t Is now assumed that the criminal
proceeding was instituted because, pre-
sumably, Miles had failed to fulfil the
agreement fixed upon in court
Mr.. Miles formerly resided at 229
Henry street. Afterwards he lived in
Plainfield, N. j., but where he is at
present is not definitely known. He is
supposed to be in Martha's Vineyard,
whence he was not expected to return
home before September.
