Retail Meat Sellers st Kansas City Will Try
to Indict Armour and Others.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March "A secret
meeting of the local branch of the
Butchers association was held at Tur-
per hall last evening to further discuss
the differences between the packers
and the retail meat men and to lay
new plans Of warfare. The next move
of the union butchers will probably
be an attempt to indict the packing
companies on a charge Of combining
for the purpose of raising the price of
meat AS proof of this they say that
since Armour has been boycotted
many of the other packers have tried
to force them to deal with that house
by claiming not to have the kinds of
meat called for. II is further alleged
that certain documents have been Sc
cured which conclusively prove that
this combine exists. The gathering
evidence on this point was intrusted to
q committee, whose mem bers were in
structed to have it in shape to lay be-
fore the grand jury when that body Is
ready to consider it.

A Prominent Citizen Of Iowa ForGer and
Suicide.
CREsToN. Ia, March ll.-At Crom-
well, a little town near this city, Dave
Blossar. a prominent citizen, com
mittcd suicide. 1t developed yester-
day that Blossar was forger, but to
what extent is not known definitely
and probably never will be. The
Creston national bank became aware
that it had collateral on Blossar
that was forged and the investigations
revealed that the populations of Bios
sar extended over a period of three
years. All this time Blossar bore the
best reputation. 1t is variously esti-
mated that Blossar's forgeries will
reach 5000. Besides he has borrowed
large sums from wealthy citizens on
his own notes. These notes will prob
ably reach SIS, 900. Saturday evening the
Creston national bank filed attachments
against Blossar's estate for 81, $50, the
amount that Blossar has forged on the
bank. When the officer went to the
blacksmith shop owned by Blossar to
arrest him. he endeavored to evade the
officer, and failing drew q revolver and
shot himself in the right temple. II
was learned that within q week he
attempted to commit suicide by taking

a way as to entirely blind the pilot.
The next moment the vessel crashed
against the pier, striking near the

Statement from the Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury.
Government Receipts Rapidly Increasing-
Total AmOun. of Cash In the Treas
ury-No Anxiety as to tho Fu-
ture-Dun's Review.


Uncle Sans Cash.
WASHINGTON, March Assistant
Secretary Curtis yesterday made the
following statement: I'm view of GER
tain statements in the newspapers that
treasury officials are embarrassed by
an alleged failure in gold deliveries un-
der the recent contract and other asser-
tions of a similar nature calculated to
mislead and disturb the public mind,
I wish to say that the actual withdraw
ais Of gold from the treasury since
March l, 1895, have been S355, 5,347, of
which $2s1, ,Os7 have been for the re-
demption of United States treasury
notes, and $74. .26O for the redemption
of United States notes.
Sin regard to the excess of govern
ment expenditures over receipts, it is
well known the latter is rapidly in
cressing and that up to this time
nothing has been received from the
income tax and very little from
sugar duty, both Of which will be i'm
portant elements of government re-
ceipts in the future. There is plenty
Of money in the treasury to pay the ap-
preparations, and the statement in
some articles, that If the treasury had
the money the passage of the enor-
nous appropriations would lead to the
immediate disbursement of immense
sums of money, is totally untrue.
There Is question of law as to when
the appropriation for the payment Of
the sugar bounty becomes availab BILE,
and until that question is settled it
will be impossible to make any pay
ment Hereunder. Moreover, the
fore payment, since payment must be
made pro rata If the appropriation is
insufficient.
1.-The total available cash in the
treasury amounts to $s3, 3,37l, 495, over
and above the 500, 600, 900 allowed to
cover the gold reserve. which is $50,
745, ,594.1l. The treasury officials have
no anxiety as to their ability to meet
all obligations in the immediate future
with ease and are confident the eX-
pected revival of business will assure
the future"
