to Secretary Gage the annual report on
the operations and condition of the treas
ury. remarks that the growth and pros
perity of the country and the general ac-
tivity of business are reflected in the
transactions of his Office. The net ordi-
nary revenues of the government for
the fiscal year were S3Bi.2lO ,So2. the
largest in the history of the country, cN-
ceeding those of 1866. the next highest,
by S47 POI .2SS. The increase of sol $50 r.
232 over the preceding year was contrib
uted to from all general sources, but
chiefly, of course, from customs and in
ternal revenue. On the side of eXpendi-
lures there was net decrease Of SILL
35S,3 1888 in comparison with 1890. so that
the deficiency of $50, III. $50 for that
year was converted into n surplus of SI9,-

der warrant, including those ON account
of the public debt, were S1,3ST. .200 2G2

ed by Nov. 1, 1900, to S740, ,9G5, go.
Exclusive of the reserve fund the
available cash balance - the treasury
was greater on June 80, 1000, by $24,-

COPPER KING DEAD.
Marcus Daily Passes Away In
a New York Hotel.
MILLIONAIRE ONCE A POOR IRISH LAD
Development of the Anaconda md
other Montana Mining Property
Reads Like Romance--Forwcr
One of Greatcst In the world.

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.--Marcus DAILY,
the copper king, whose wealth is cstimat-
ed at between $40,00O,000 aud S50,00O,-
600. is dead in the Hotel Nethcrland.
lie will be buried from the palace he
reared at 725 Fifth avenue and which
he never had occupied. 1t was his am
bition to have the handstmest home
along the highway of wealth. 1t will be
his temporary tomb.
Marcus DAILY was born In June, 1910,
in County Cavan, near Ballyjamesduff,
Ireland He came to this city when only
Is and lived for two years in Brooklyn.
Then lie went west.
The development of the copper mining
properties is one of the most interesting
romances of the rapid creation of wealth
in the Rockies. Somewhere back in the
seventies two miners named Hickey, who
came from st. Lawrence county, n. Y,
began TO sink a shaft on Il hill overlook
ing the little mining camp of Butte.
Edward Hickey remembered Il sentence
he had read in one of Horace Greeey's
editorials when he and his brother were
living on their New York state farm, a
sentence about McClellan's army closing
in around Richmond like Il huge anacon-
da. and he gave the name of the big
snaIe to the new hole in the ground. A
fairly promising vein of silver was
struck. but the Hickeys had no money
to 20 on with the mine and wanted to
sell il.
A. stalwart young Irist miner named
Marcus DAILY had been noticed about
the camp for some time. He would
work in u mine for week or two and
then call for his time, saying that he had
the rheumatism and wanted to lay off
for awhile. Then he would get job in
another mine and again quit after "a
short spell Of work.
This young man had been sent out to
Butte by j. b. Haggin of California to
pick up some good mining properties,
and he bought the Anaconda for his prin-
cipal for $4,000.
DAILY was superintendent and part
owner. He showed himself to be a man
of great business capacity and of mas
terful temper. He developed the mine,
bought adjacent mines on the copper
vein, and. wanting place TO reduce
and smelt his ores where water and
wood were plentiful, he founded the
town of Anaconda in a valley some %
miles away and there established the
| greatest copper plant in the world.
| He was not satisfied with the rates the
| Montana Union railroad charged him
! for transporting his ores, SO he built q
parallel road from Butte to Anaconda
The Anaconda now produces onef fourth
of the entire copper output of the globe
DAILY was worth many millions in his
own right. His only extravaganza was
| his passion for fine horses.

MAYOR FLOOD ARRESTED.
EImirn's Chief Magistrate Charged
with Forgery.

ELMIRA, Nov. 14.-Dr. Frank II.
Flood, mayor of this city, was placed un-
der arrest yesterday afternoon by virtue
of a warrant issued by Recorder Michael
Danaher upon complaint sworn to by Al
derman Francis McCann of the Fourth
ward. The warrant charges forgery in
the first degree.
The action was not surprising, as it had
been rumored ever since the arrest Of
Miss Catherine Loonie that she had in
an affidavit implicated the mayor in her
crime, that of offering for record forged
deeds of property belonging to Miss Mar
garet G. Kennedy of Binghamton, as told
in these dispatches ut the time of Miss
Loonie's arrest.
Miss Loonie, who is under sentence of
four years and nine months to Auburn
prison, was taken before the recorder on
Monday and reiterated the statement that
she had previously made in the affidavit
which is in possession of District Attor'
ney +. II. Aldrich.

CABINETLOVE FEAST
President Desires No Change
In Official Family.
SLATEMAKERS COMPLETELY SlLENCED
Secretaries Praised For Their Past
Faithful Services and Formally
Asked to Remnin For n
Second Term.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.--President
Mckinley has announced clearly and
fOrcefully to the members of his cabinet
his desire that they should all remain
With him during the four years of his
coming administration. His wishes were
made known in an extended speech ut the
cabinet meeting in the White House yes
terday. Responses were made by all of
the members present, and while there
were no definite pledges from any of
them that they would accept the port
iOlios thus rendered there was, on the
other hand. no definite declination.
The proceeding sets forth the wishes
of the president in .the matter and re-
heves the members of the cabinet of the
customary obligation of rendering their
resigmations ut the end of the term unless
they have made an igrevocablc decision
that it will be impossible for them to
continue in Office. 1t also sets at rest all
speculation and slatemaking of the coun-
try's political prophets, for it is under
stood generally that there is but one
doubtful factor in the fA.mogeneity of the
present cabinet. That factor is Attorney
General Grigqs, as he holds his present
position at a great financial sacrifice.
Still, Mr.. Griggs replied in terms of
warm appreciation to the complimentary
remarks of the president and voiced no
intention of retiring from his present po-
siiion.
Secretary Hay was the first to respond.
He said that for his part he deeply ap-
precated the complimentary refsences
made by his chief and that he thought
there was not member of the cabinet
who would sever such pleasant official re-
iations without regret, and even then on
ly in case of the most urgent reasons for
retirement.
Secretaries Gage, Long, Hitchcock,
Wilson, Attorney General Griggs and
Postmaster General Smith each spoke in
tarn and in much the same vein. Secre-
tary Root was the only absent member
frOm the meeting having left to look
over military affairs and to recuperate
from his long and serious illness. The
list of responses, therefore, was all but
complete. 1t is known that Secretary
Root is in much the same position as At
t0rney General Griggs, holding his posi-
tion at considerable financial sacrifice,
but willing at the same time to sacrifice
q good deal to comply with the expressed
wishes of the president.
The meeting. which had developed into
q real love feast, then returned to the
more commonplace affairs of routine busi-
ness and the discussion of the salient
features of the presidents coming mes
sage to congress, after which the men,
bers left with renewed expressions of re-
gard The meeting stands as one Of the
most remarkable cabinet sessions on rec

OUR INDIAN WARDS.
Government Expends Over 100000
600 Annually In Their Behalf.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-The total
expenditure by the government on ac-
count of the Indian service from March
4, 1889, up to and including July 30,
1900, has been $36S,35S2l7, according
to the annual report of Commissioner Of
Indian Affairs William A. Jones. The
expenditures for the fiscal year ended
last July amounted to S10115, ,1O1. OF
this amount at least $3,330000 was de-
voted to the cause of Indian education.
There were 2J0 Indian schools of all
kinds conducted by the government and
an increase of LAP pupils in enrolment
and LAP in average attendance shown
over the previous year. About 5000 of
the "a 900 eligible school children are un-
provided for. Compulsory education OF
the Indian children is strongly indorsed,
The report controverts the commonly
accepted theory that by constant contact
with the whites the extinction of the In
dian Is only matter of time. 1t says it
can be stated with great decree of con-
fidence that the Indian population of the
United States has been very little dimin-
ished from the days of Columbus, Coro-
nado, Raleigh, Captain John Smith and
other early explorers.
