Treasury Figures Show that the
Per Capita Is In Excess
of SI,3Io.
VAST o W OF FINANCES.
Money in Circulation on Jan. 80
Last Was Nearly ss,ooo,-
100000.

Major Alfred r. Quaiffe, vault clerk
OF the United States treasury, who has
Charge Of Uncle Sans money, called
my attention the other day to the al
most incredible growth Of the business
Of the Treasury Department since hi
came into the service, forty-two years
ago, and he furnished me with some
very interesting and rather startling
comparisons, writes William 2. Curtis,
the Washington correspondent. For
example, the wealth of the country,
which, Of course, has kept pace with
the transactions Of the treasury, Is
three and one-half times greater to-day
than 1t was in 1870. The total then
was $30,06S, 51S000. The estimated total
to-day, based upon the census reports
and information received by the AgTi-
cultural Department, the Secretary of
the Treasury and the Comptroller Of
the Currency, is $1O7, 1O4, 211,9 17.
The wealth per capita Of citizens Of
the United States, based upon similar
estimates, has increased from $770.S3
in 1870 to S1,310.11 in 1907, which
makes the United States, with It's emo
nous population, the richest country in
the world.
The money In circulation has lncreas
ed four-fold since Major Quaiffe came
into the treasury. The total in 1870
was S675,212, 794, while on Jan. 80,
1907, 1t was $2,914,342,256. The clrcu-
lation per capita has almost doubled,
Notwithstanding the present money
famine, and has Increased from $3.50
to S33.S6 during the last forty-two
years
When Major Quaiffe came into the
cash room we had only $25,O00,00O in
gold; to-day we have S756,665, 500 in
gold coin in the treasury alone, not
counting that in circulation and hoard
ed away.
Uncle Sans working capital on Dec.
II, 1907, amounted to 81, 756,491 ,464.31
all Of which lie hard cash. or this
amount S 1888, $500, In coin Is held
on deposit to secure the payment Of
$3.50, $685. 500 gold certificates, SAT- 1925
600 silver certificates, and S5,515,000
treasury notes outstanding. The troas-
ury reserve, which is kept by law,
amounts to S15O,O0O,O 600. The cash bal
apce available to pay the current ex-
penses of the government on Dec. IL
was $3.50, 7G2, 3O9.65.
Uncle Sam does not keep all Of his
money IN Washington, although there
is a good deal of it here. The remain
der Is scattered among the different
gubtreasuries, minis and national bank
repositories as follows:

America Not Involved

The position OF the American govern
ment in regard to the acute situation in
the Balkans is largely that Of looker-on
1t is situation. the officials say. with
which the signatories to the treaty Of
Berlin have to do. The United States does
not tolerate the interference of the Euro
pean governments with American affairs
and this government, not being a sigma
tory to the Berlin treaty. has no voice in
complications or developments which may
arise out OF the carrying into effect or
the breaking of that convention.

eminent is established. some notification

treaty. were with q certain reservation

up later. and In determining this matter
the State Department will be guided by
Its long sta nding rule of according recog-
milton when 1t is shown that the new gov
eminent is strong and effective de

Turkey Charges Austria
With Backing BuIgarians

CONSTANTINOPLE. October 5.-Tur-
key Is convinced that Austria, backed by
Germany, encouraged Bulgaria to declare
her independence in order to strike a blow
at the Kaimill ministry and compromise
the new constitution.
1t is not known what steps Turkey will
take. but the impression prevails that
European conference will be held to con-
slider the whole question.
Advices obtained in an authoritative
quarter Of Sofia are to the effect that only
some Of the powers supported the Brit
ish proposal for the settlement of the rail-
road question. This want of unaninity
among the powers encourages Bulgaria to
persist in her present attitude.
Varna and other Bulgarian towns are
placarded today with declarations that
the moment has now arrived to proclaim
independence, as otherwise Turkey. on
the strength of the treaty of Berlin, will

Should the Turkish government seek the
advice of the powers regarding the ad-
visibility of asserting her supremacy over
Bulgaria by military force Germany
would not be able to advise the porte to
go to war. The Turkish army Is not pre-
pared. The Bulgarian is ready.

Descendants Of Historic Dutchman
Will Gather at Catskill.

CATSKILL. N Y. October s.
Whether or not Rip Van Wrinkle Is a
myth cannot be discussed with safety
here this week. For IN the historic little
village which was the homo Of the an
cient Dutchman whose sturdy progeny
have spread over the country Is being
celebrated this week a Rip Van Wrinkle
homecoming. Catskill has sent out word
to his children to awaken from their sleep
in other lands to come home for a merry
making.
The celebration began In the churches

wald Of Safina and President DemaFest
Of Rutgers College. 1t will continue with

diligence in the pleasures that made old
Rip q dreamer until the moon goes to
bed at midnight Wednesday.
Nobody in Catskill has any doubt that
Rip existed. In fact, any resident will
take the visitor to the mountain top and
show him the place where the ten pins
were placed and point out the exact spot
wherein Rip peacefully snoozed through
five presidential terms. There. will be a
Rip In the parade Tuesday. and Snyder,

Paris Newspapers Foresee
Break Up of Berlin Treaty

Special Cableg,am to The Star.
PARIS. October 5-The newspaper. de-.
vote considerable attention to the latest
phase Of the Balkan question.
The GauloIs considers that II Great Brit
ain won the first rubber by favoring the
rise Of the Young Turkey party. Germany
has gained the second by forcing that
party into a position in which the only
alternative is to make war or accept an
insult.
The Matin remarks that events in the
Balkans have proved the most solemn Of
treaties to mean nothing. as Germany.
which suggested the treaty Of Berlin, Is
now prepared to admit. because It Is to
Its interest to do SO. that a single power
has the right to annul the work Of the
European congress which made the treaty
with the stroke Of a pen. Says the Matin:
Germany cannot be surprised If other
powers one day shall follow its example"
The Petit Partisan declares that as the
European equilibrium has been disturbed
the chances Of conflict arer numerous
unless Europe shall prove wise enough to
limit the risks and soiemnly declare that
blood shall not be spilled.
The Journal explains that the present
state OF affairs will have incalculable
effects and remarks: 1.-The Balkan states
are on the brink Of precipice and the
European powers are giving rein to their
own appetites"

modus vivendi which will result In the
maintenance of peace.
France has decided to act as mediator
for the purpose of preventing war be-

took possession of this line in September
because Of strike. and started to oper-

LONDON. October 5.-Bulgaria's dec.
laration Of independence Is nowhere re-
garded as the most serious feature Of the
situation In diplomatic and financial cir
cles
War between Turkey and Bulgaria Is
possible but not probable. The thing
which causes widespread alarm and ap-
prehension is Austria's threatened action
OF tearing up the treaty Of Berlin with
out notice or provocation. This wan;en
oenance OF the first principles OF political
honor has alarmed Europe to a greater

The nearest government ranges to which
tyoops stationed near those cities can be
sent for target practice. he says. are 474
miles from Washington, $50 miles from
New York, and los miles from Boston. He
therefore recommends the purchase OF
sufticient grounds and the construction OF
suitable modern ranges In the vicinity or
the three cities named as the only satis-
factory solution of existing deficiencies
should II be desirable to establish a school
Of musketry in the Department or the
East' similar to the one in the Depart

that its location be at Fort Ethan Alien
as the best available place Tor such
school
