A FULL TREASURY.
sum of s1,I0O.225,224 Of Available
Cash In Uncle Sans VauIts-Un-
eGunIed in Worlds History.

Washington, Oct. 14.-Nearly $780,
1000 is the enormous sum of money
which the United States treasury has
now in it's possession. This is an ag-
gregate of wealth never before
equaled in the history of this or any
other country. The exact total of the
amount held by the treasury is 81 ,100,-
225,224. OF this sum $706,547,0s9 is
held as a trust fund for the redemp-
ton of outstanding notes and certifi-
Gates; the gold coin and bullion
amounting to $15O,00O,000, constitute
the regular service fund; there is
gold coin and bullion in the general
fund to the amount of $73,399.276, or
a total of $145,549,03S, representing
all sorts of available notes and coin
and $40, 143,772 in national bank de-
positories. Included in this great gov
ernmental wealth are $534,000,000 in
gold and $493, 900 in silver, part
of each being bullion and the remain
der coin. The subsidiary silver coin
held by the treasury amounts to
$S,7S5,S75. Fractional currency and
minor coin aggregates more than
$4s2,000. 1t is computed by treasury
officials that at the end of this fiscal
year, June 80 next, the government
will have $70,O00,000 left clear, after
paving all running debts.

ROBBERS SECURE $50, 900.
Near st. Louis-The Theft
n Mystery.

ST. Louis, Oct. IA. - One of the
largest express robberies that have
occurred in this city or vicinity took
place about three days ago, either
while the express cars were nearing
st. Louis or else between Indianapo-
lis and this city. The amount taken
was nearly $4,000, and the federal
authorities who have been investigat-
ing the robbery will not give out any
information for publication, because
they hope the robbers are in St.
Louis. and that they may be able to
locate them.
The stolen money was in $40 and
$50 bills, numbered from 1901 to 3,0O1.
The exact amount is yet unknown.
The bills were to be issued by the
National Bank of Helena, Mont. The
notes, amounting to about $4,000,
were printed by the treasury depart
ment for the National Bank of Helena
and about a week ago were shipped
by express from Washington to the
bank at Helena. 1t was while en-
route to Helena that the bundle Of
money disappeared. How it occurred
the United States secret service, which
has several detectives at work upon
the case, is unable to tell.

Navy Lacks sumcient Men to Man

tnshield.

Washington, Oct. 12.--In his annual
report to the secretary of the navy,
Rear Admiral Crowninshield, chief Of
the navigation bureau, speaks of the
reduction made during the past year
in the strength of the Asiatic feet,
which was drawn upon to furnish two
vessels to reestablish the European
station and will be further diminished
in order to permit of the commission.
ing of at least two training ships and
an increase of the North Atlantic
squadron by two gunboats and of the
Pacific squadron by possibly one. 1t
is particularly desirable to have some
small ships for gulf service on the At
lantic side.
Sailers were enlisted during the
year to the number of 9,s96, making
the total men in service 1895. From
hits number there were 3,15s deser-
tions.
The report lays stress upon the i'm
perative need of the navy for more of
ficers and men. According to Admiral
Crowninshield, the only remedy is to
increase the number of cadets at the
naval academy to not less than 500.

CANON ON MARRIAGE.
Convention Regarding Divorces
Huntington Amendment Lost.

San Francisco, Oct. 10.-The action
of greatest Importance taken Wednes-
day by the triennial Episcopal con-
vention was the adoption by the
house of bishops, by vote of 81 to
81, of canon SO, which relates to the
solemnization of marriage. All of its
provisions had previously been ar
gued except those contained in Sec
ton four, which forbade the mar
rage of persons divorced for any
cause not existing before marriage.
For any cause not existing before
marriage" is understood to refer to
such causes as insanity, inability to
execute contract, the existence of
a living wife or husband, or like rea.
sons, which practically render the
marriage null and void.
The question is by no means set.
tied, as the whole subject is now to
come up in the house of deputies,
where it is expected to cause pro-
tracted debate.
Both houses unanimously selected
Boston as the place for holding the
next triennial convention.
San Francisco, Oct. 9.-The feature
of Tuesdays sessions of the triennial
Episcopal convention was the recon-
sideration and defeat of what is known
as the Huntington amendment to the
constitution, which was adopted by the
house of deputies Monday, providing
for the use of modified forms of wor-
ship by congregations willing to accept
the spiritual oversight of bishop.

try agree that there has seldom, II ever,
been such vigorous prosecution Of con-

ployed at good wages, and the buying pow

meet the advance in the cost of living OF

ago. Wholesome activity Is still the feature
at iron furnaces and steel mills. While old

there is no immediate prospect of catching

are so urgent In nearly all branches Of this

THE STONE RANSOM.
Missionaries baird md Haskell Try
Ing 20 Reach Brigands-
Terms Are Sought.

Constantinople, Oct. 1.-THE situa-
ton In the case of Miss Stone Is
that Missionaries Baird and Has
ken are still trying to get in touch
with the brigands in order to agree
on the amount of ransom. tbs scarce
" likely that this agreement Will be
reached for some days. AS soon as
word comes from the missionaries that
the amount of ransom has been deter
mined upon, member OF the United
States legation will start for the place
named with the money.
Since the brigands who abducted
Miss Stone were located on the noun
tains of Gultepe, the approach OF the
troops induced them to change their
retreat. They are now hiding on the
Turko-Bulgarian frontier, ready to
cross to either side, as circumstances
demand.
The decision to suspend the move
ments of the troops was partially due
to the difficulties of operating in the
mountainous country, and partly ow-
ing TO fear that further advance
might endanger the life of Miss Stone,
hence the American desire to try and
negotiate for the payment of ran
som. II is hoped this will result in the
release of Miss Stone in a few days.
Berlin, Oct. 14.-According to re-
ports received here from Sofia, the
captors of Miss Stone~demand that the
ransom shall be deposited at Samo-
koff. Bulgaria. A Bulgarian cattle
drover. who was an eyewitness of the
kidnapping. has been arrested upon sus-
picion of completely IN the outrage, at
the instance of the United States con-
sui.
Constantinople, Oct. 14.-1n conse-
quence of the ransom negotiations it
is hoped that Miss Stone, an Ameri-
can missionary who was abducted by
brigands. will be free within few
days. The first negotiations opened
by the brigands who have Miss Stone
captive failed owing to the attempt
by the Bulgarian police to entrap
them. This has caused delay.

SPLIT BY TRUSTS.
Failure 90 Agree Indicated by Fore
cast Of Industrial Commits
sion's Report.

New York, Oct. 14.--Wide division
sion will be shown in its report to
congress on trusts, says a Washing
ton dispatch to the New York Her
aid, and there will be at least three
diverse recommendations, as follows:
1. Stricter antitrust legislation by the
several states and by congress, without al
tering the present relations between their
respective jurisdictions.
2. The delegation by congress TO the
states OF Its Interstate commerce jurisdic-
ton. so as to allow the states TO regulate
manufacturing or trading corporations en-
gagged In interstate commerce.
3. The assumption by the national gov
eminent OF a larger and perhaps exclusive
control of all such corporations, and their
regulation by act OF congress
These three methods of meeting the
trust problem have been designated
for convenience by the commission,
as, first, the present system improved;
second, the state control system, and,
third, the system of federal control.
Publicity is conspicuous and impor-
tant feature of each of these sys-
TENS. 1t will be recommended in
each of the three reports that trusts
be required to show not only their
gross and net earnings, but also the
character of receipts undergraduates
and the form of the agreements un-
der which the constituent corpora
tons are operating.
This subject of trusts is the rock on
which the commission will split. The
members have heen discussing the
matter with view to securing a ma
jority report, butft has become evident
to all that their divergence of opinion
will prevent this.
The commission will recommend the
enactment of more stringent immigra-
ton laws. Considerable attention has
been given to this subject, and the
members are practically unanimous in
their views on how the existing stat
utes should be amended. The assassi-
nation of President Mckinley has in
spired a strong recommendation.
The commission will urge the estab-
lishment of a system of inspection of
all emigrants at the ports of embarka-
ton in Europe, with view to detect
ing persons of anarchistic tendencies
who intend to sail for the United
States, where they may have more free
dom in advancing their propaganda of
assassination. This system, ii is pro-
posed, shall be operated in conjunc-
ton with the governments of Europe.
Two other methods of pre-
venting the arrival of anarchists
from abroad will be suggested.
The first is to apply to cab
in passengers the same rigor-
Gus rules of inspection to which
steerage immigrants must submit on
arrival at the point of debarkation
in the United States. The second is
to extend the period of possible de-
portation from one year to two or
more years. Under the present law
any alien who has resided in this
country 12 months is exempt from
deportation. These propositions are
calculated to affect other undesira BILE
foreigners than anarchists. There is
little sentiment in the commission in
favor of an educational test for the
average immigrant.
