U. S. DIES FOUND 0. K.
None of Uncle Sans Money Making
Machinery Is Missing.

Washington, Aug. 6.-The 10000
plates, dies and rolls from which the
money, stamps and securities of the
United States and the national bank
notes are printed have been counted
by a treasury department committee
and reported intact to Secretary Mac
Veagh. with the exception of one die,
which has been missing for eight
years. The die, which disappeared in
1904, was for a revenue stamp for fer
mented wines. It is now obsolete and
could not be fraudulentIy used if
found. When the vault of the bureau
of engraving and PRINTING was refined
several years ago. it is believed the
missing die fell between the old and
the new lining. The examining COM
mittee this year took over 5000 obso-
navy yard and DESTROYED them.
