Two .Aings May Prevent His Going
Before Democratic Convention,

A friend of Senator German said today
that while all this talk is proceeding,
whether the senator can cannot get
the democratic nomination for the presi-
dency. the gossipers may be reckoning
without their host. According to this mar
rator, it is by no means foregone conclu-
sion that Senator German is a candidate.
The friend in question went to say
tha. Senator German will seek the nomi-
nation if he is reasonably confident of two
results, namely, that he secure the
nomination and that his chances for cleo
ton are equal to those of the republican
candidates. handicap upon either propo-
sitOn, it stated, would preclude his
d;date.
1t stated that the senator does not
care for complimentary nomination. with
defeat staring him in the face. He would
abhor the idea of being a candidate be-
fore the convention and meeting defeat
there. His position in American politics
and craftsmanship is so well secured that
hOrorS-
There are many contingencies, it was ex-
planned, which enter into the situation and
all of these will be carefully taken into
account by Senator German before he al
lows his name to go before the convention
with his authority. 1t will be recalled
that no man has the right to say today
that Senator German IS an avowed candi-
date for the presidency.
When the senator's name goes before
the convention said this friend, ut will
be when he feels sure of nomination and
when he is reasonably confident of leading
his party TO victory.

MOON TO SUCCEED FoERDERER.
Philadelphia Republicans Will Prob
ably Nominate Him.

Today's Philadelphia Inquirer says:
"Reuben o. Moon, well-known member
of the Philadelphia bar, will be the repub
lican nominee for Congress in the fourth
district of Pennsylvania, to succeed the
late Robert H. Foerderer. This was a pre-
diction made last night by an influential
republican who has figured in the efforts to
get a strong candidate for this district
and there is every reason to believe that
the prediction will come true.

the statement that assurances have been
given to a close friend of James Rankin
Young who has been urging the leaders to
support Young for this nomination. that tho
former representative and well-known
newspaper correspondent will be provided

government This was coupled with a
promise that the leaders of the city organ

A TREASURY SCARE.
Hunting for Certain Records of De-
posit.

poS1C.
Records of deposit for S629, 1874 that
were made at the time the deposits were
made by Secretary Hitchcock of the In
terror Department, who holds certificates,
were lost for a time by the Treasury De-
partment, and for two days recently there
was a subdued excitement in that branch
of the government service that caused
more than one gray hair to appear on the
heads Of those most concerned. The rec
ords could not be found, and some one
was responsible. Then careful search
began. For the best part of two days
the search has been kept up.
The record of the Interior Department
was clear. The funds had been turned
over to the Secretary of the Interior by the
commissioner of the general land office,
being proceeds of sale of land sites in
the territory of Oklahoma, Gov. Richards
having been the official who attended to
that sale and to the delivery of the funds
to his chief. The money was deposited
with the subtreasurer at ST. Louis, and
there afterward appeared the rumor that
it had been deposited with trust com
pany in that city.
The treasury was unable to locate the
record of receipt, and there was much con-
Germ that so large an item could be carried
the books of the department and not
be found. 1t finally appeared on the books
of the subtreasury at st. Louis, and the
harder than ever to ascertain whether
there was any previous record on the books
of the subtreasury. 1t finally was discov-
cred that an entry had been made of the
deposits last January, but that was year
and a half after the deposits had been
made in st. Louis by Gov. Richards and
the receipts delivered to Secretary Hitch
cock. The aim of the treasury is
to discover the first entry and the records
of deposit.
Gov. Richards, now commissioner of the
land office. but at the time assistant to
the commissioner. says that this money
does not belong to the government, but is
held in trust for the benefit of the towns
where the sales occurred The Secretary
of the Interior was the trustee under the
act of Congress providing for the sale of
the town sites, and the money had been ex-
pended in the manner provided by law.
The money was deposited in the subtreas-
ury at ST. Louis a matter of conven-
ience there being nothing in the act to
make it obligatory to deposit 1t with the
government
On the other hand, the Treasury Depart
ment officials insist that the fund should
have been audited by the auditor for the
Interior Department and not held by the
Secretary, and the merry war continues,
while the clerks look FOR the original rec
dc of depOSitS
