CHECK CASH IN U. s. TREASURY.
Task Follows the Resignation of the
Assistant Treasurer.

Following the resignation of Hamilton
Fish as assistant treasurer of the United
States in charge of the subtreasury in
New York city, corps of bookkeepers
under the direction of United States
Treasurer Treat began checking over
the books of the office.
While this task is a big one, it does
not compare with the work required
to count the cash in the vault, which
work will be taken up as soon as the
checking of the books has been com
pleted.
There is in the vaults approximately
$173, 200, 900 in gold coin, SIT 900, 900 in
currency and $50 100000 in silver coin,
and all of this must be counted and
verified, piece by piece. The money is
in sealed bags and packages, but the
mark on each of these must be veri-
fed
The work will probably require at
least a month. The. counting is only
done when an assistant treasurer leaves
the office. Mr.. Fish resigned as assist
ant treasurer in order to accept a nomi-
nation for congress.
