 A recount of the Treasury cash which was completed late this afternoon, dis closed a shortage of $S59. The recount. made necessary by the appointment in June last of Ellis H. Roberts as United States treasurer in place of D. N Nor gan, was begun on July l and since that time about $797, ,000,000 in cash has been counted. No errors nor shortage of im- portance were discovered until the treas nry committee had begun work in silver vault No. l, in which there were 103 ,653 900 standard dollars.
 A colored man named Martin. empIoypd as a laborer, was one day discovered in the coal and wood basement under sus- picious circumstances and a search re- suited in the finding of a number of silver dollars which presumably he had ab- stracted from some of the bags Martin was arrested and made a confession ad- mitting he had taken BPS, for which he had substituted lead. The court imposed a fine of $50 and Martin was released
 This admission cast suspicion upon the entire contents of the vault and a count by handling each individual piece was ordered. On September 10 twenty-eight expert counters and force of Iaborers and verifiers, under the direction of G. c. Bance, assistant cashier, began the work of counting the contents of this vault The time employed therefore. was nearly five months, the counters working eight hours each day. The shortage of Ss5q will be made good by MT. Morgan, the re- tIrlng treasurer II IS probable, how ever, as has been done in similar cases that Congress will make an appropriafion in MT. Morgan's favor covering inc amount.

DISAPPOINTMENT
 OF THE SALE Government Will Make Such Application to Judge Sanborn. Prior Liens to Be Paid and a Federal Receiver Is
 Asked For. Steps Taken for the Protection of Uncle Sar1's Interest in the Kansas
 Pacific.
Special Dispatch to The Call.
Call Office, Riggs House,

Washington, Feb. 5.
 Governor Hoadly was in consulta- ton with the Attorney General to-day ,,pon the subject of foreclosures against the Kansas Pacific Railroad. It has been decided by the Department of Jus tice that the Government will exercise the power conferred upon the President by the act of 1887 and redeem the claims of the first mortgage bondholders upon the eastern and middle divisions, re- spectively, and become subrogated un- der the law to their rights. This will make the Government the owner of both the first and second liens upon these divisions of the road.
 An application will be made to Judge Sanborn at St. Louis next Saturday for leave to redeem, for postponement of the sales of the road, which are now advertised to take place on February 16, F and 1S and for the appointment of a receiver in the Government suit to operate the railroad for the benefit of it's liens. The present receivers are op- erating the road under the suit of the third mortgage bcndholders, commonly called the consolidated mortgage By this means 1t is expected that the i'm mediate sale of the property will be de- ferred, and that the Government will have more opportunity to negotiate for better price than has been offered by the reorganization committee, which now controls the first mortgages, and in the meantime the benefits of the profitable operation of the road, if it continues to be prof1tably managed will, under the receiver appointed in the Government suit, be to the advan- tage of the Government by way of re- duction of it's claim.
 Notices of the application to be made next Saturday have been served by tel egraph on the reorganization commit tee and upon the counsel of the re- spective underlying mortgages. Am pie authority for this action on the part of the Government is conferred by the act of March 3, 1887, which pro- vides that whenever in the opinion of the President it shall be deemed neces- sary to the protection of the Govern ment'S interest in any of the bond aided roads the Secretary of the Treas ury is required to redeem or otherwise clear off the paramount lien or mort gage by paying the sums lawfully due out of the treasury.
 The amount which will be necessary to pay the first lienholders in this case is something over $S.000. 900, the same amount which the Government would have been compelled to pay them had it acquired title under the pending sale. The situation of the Govern ment Is regarded by Attorney-Ge General Griggs, who advised the present course, and other leading officials, as greatly improved thereby. and it is now expected that Judge Sanborn, un- der the circumstances, will willingly consent to a postponement of the sale T to date sufficiently remote to allow the Government ample time in which to dispose of it's interest to the best advantage.

DEFECTS NOT
 DUE TO SOIL
Experts Report on the Dry dock at the Brooklyn
 Yard.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

Special Dispatch to The Call.
 NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-The Herald s Washington correspondent telegraphs: To convince Congress that the defects in dry dock No. at the Brooklyn navy yard are not due to soil, Secretary Long has forwarded to Representative Hill born, senior member of the House Naval Committee, views of expert officers on the subject. Walsh Bros, who built the dock, assert, it is alleged, that the structure was constructed in substan- tial manner, but that the quicksand char acter of the soil caused the development of defects. The defense of Civil Engineer A. c. Menocal is expected to raise a similar issue. Naval Constructor Bowles, who is experimenting the repairs to the drydock. and Civil Engineer M. T; Endi- colt, assistant to the Chief of the Bureau of Yards and Docks, were ordered to make an investigation. Their letters have been forwarded to Hilborn.
 Hilborn told me tonight the officers had agreed that the navy-yard soil Is fully capable of resisting the pressure from the weight of the three docks now in the yard. Secretary Long may send civilian experts to Brooklyn to invest- gate the condition of the soil. I saw Rep- resentatfve Hilborn tonight and he said: ''The statements made by Naval Con- structor Bowles and Civil Engineer Endi- colt coincide with my opinion. Represent tatives of floating drydock schemes with whom have talked, however, assert that the defects developed in drydock No. 8 were due to the character of the soil. If it should be shown that the soil is re- sponsible for causing the defects then it would be throwing money away to con- tinue to repair dock No. 8.
 "f do not believe that the Brooklyn navy-yard is an ideal site for docks, but that we can build a dock there and main tain it is proved by the fact that we have one wooden and one granite dock that have done good service. Drydock No. accommodated the battle-ship Massa- ehusetts satisfactorily. It's bottom was able to stand the weight. The defects which have developed have appeared at the entrance of the dock and have no reference. 1t is my opinion, to the char arter af the soil !,
