Statement Regarding the $4,000 Paid
by Him Last Week.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 26.-Librarian Spot
ford, In view of various conflicting state
ments regarding the sum OF So, 400 paid by
him into the treasury last week. was asked
to-day what the amount really represented.
He replied that 1t was approximately the
amount due the treasury on balance of
copyright and salary accounts. as he found
1T. An unfavorable and wholly wrong con-
struction, he said. had been placed upon II
as representing a large deficit, whereas it
was actually a balance between two ac-
counts. a salary account due the librarian
for several months disbursement and an
amount due the government for several
months copyright fees These accounts
had remained unsettled, although constant
payments had been made by him TO the
number OF ten or twelve, during 1894 and
1895, of copyright receipts, amounting to
over $5,0 coo, besides the So, 400 now depos-
tied. He emphatically denied that there
was any wrongful Withholding of moneys
due the government. On the contrary. the
whole matter involved a balancing of
delayed accounts, which his accumu-
lated labors. constantly growing, had
too long postponed. All copyright re-
ceipts had been entered daily, with
dates. sources and amounts, whether
small or large, duly noted, and he

says: I'VE can obtain here no further
