Wshlxoto!, April 28. -Director of
tbe Miut Leech was asked for an es-
planation of the statement inada by him
Saturday tbat there was an available
cash balance of $3."8,O0O,000 in the
treasury. Leech said he holds that
gold and silver certificates amounting to
$403,000,000 represent trust money; that
is, tbe coin has been deposited by indi
viduals and tbe government lias issued
a certificate to pay back tbe same on de
mand. Possibly the fund of $7,000,009
placed with the treasury by national
banks for keeping the currency in good
condition is trust money, but as con
gress has Just ordered the money placed
by national banks for retirement, the
circulation is to lie covered into tbe
general balance, it is difficult to con
ceive why this ia any more sacred,
The remainder of the money in
the treasury, some $,'.'W,0ooi)OO,
Leech bolus, belongs almolutely
to the government, "Prior to 1HW,
he says, "the available balance in the
treasury was always shown as the
nuiountof money which fictuallv be
longs to the government. The Klo,ntX)
in gold purchased by the sale of bonds
for resumption pnrj tones was always in
cluded as a portion of the available bal
ance prior to that date, and there is no
reason wny it . should not te. , Mor is
there any reason why legal tender notes
issued in the purchase of silver bullion
are any more a current liability than
other greenbacks. They are a class of
legal tender money, Ihey are not sil
ver monev. as the ix-onle srenerallv sun-
pose. They are iasuetf in the first nlace
in tbe purchase of silver bullion, but as
they come back into the treasury are
reissued for all purposes. The fact that
the secretary is anxious to convert all
the assets into the most available form
of money is no indication tbat there is
any shortage in tbe treasuiy funds. In
accordance with the acts of congress the
trade dollar bullion vnd subsidiary sil
ver coins will be recolned a soon as the
new designs are denn t on.
A Powf for Secretary foater.
Wahhisotos, April 28. The treas
ury department has been called upon to
decide a case upon which medical men
disagree, and that is, whether incipient
tubercle of the lungs is a contagious
disease, Superintendent Weber at New
York has decided that it is, basing bis
opinion on that of JJr. Godfrey of the

cision an appeal baa been made to Sec
retary Foster by the attorney of Leo-
poioo juazzei, who was refused admis
sion by Superintendent Weber on the
gronnd that lie bad incipient tubercle
of the lungs. Mazzei's counsel encloses
a certificate from a prominent New
xora pnystctan, who certifies that Maz
ci is not suffering from a contagious
disease and is, therefore, other require
ments of the immigration law being
complied with, entitled to enter the

brushing up his medical knowledge
preparatory to deciding officially

Utica, N. Y., April 28.At 11:30
o'clock last night a disastrous fire started
in the village of Forostport in the north
ern part of Oneida county. The flames
first appeared in the Sherman house,
which was quickly destroyed. Several
dwelling houses and stores odjoining
were soon euveloped in the blaze, and
the people of the village became panic
stricken. The total destruction of tbe
place seems imminent. At 1 a. in. the
lire showed no signs of abatement.
Fully twenty-five dwelling houses have
already been destroyed. Help has been
sent for from the surrounding towns.
It is impossible to estimate the loss.

Dkxver, April 2. Tbe pet scheme of
Charles Francis Adams, when he was
president of the Union Pacific, of ex
tending tbat line to Los Angeles, and
thus tap a rich fruit country, and which
wa summarily nipped ia the bud by
the Gould management, to about to be
prosecuted by an independent company
composed of St, Louis capitalists. It.
C, Kerens and Jefferson Chandler, both
connected with the St, Louis, Arkansas
aud Texas railway, together with sev
eral St. Louis linkers, have just re
turned from hi investigation in Califor
nia and were in the city consulting with
General Manager Dodge, of the Rio
Grande Western, for tbe purjiose of as
certaining what kiud of a traffic agree
ment could be made with tbat company.
They left for Omaha, where tbey will
have a conference with the Union Pa
cific officials there, and will favor tlte
road tbitt offers the best inducement.
The St. Louis getitb'iiieii are wealthy
themselves, beshTi-s having a great deal
of foreign capital at their command,
and the road wtll not remain long
merely on paper, They already own a
valuable franchise from List Angeles to
the coast, and if they can make an ar
rangement with the Atlantic and Pa
cific to use it trwk from Lua Angeles
to Barstow they will begin building at
once, to connect, probably, with tbe
Rio Grande Western at Salfna, a dis
tance of a little over 8-W miles. It will
make a shorter lino to Los Angeles of at
least one day, and, it is expected, will
secure all the fruit business to th east,
which nearly all goes above the line to
Kansas City.

Chicago, April 28. The boycott
against the Alton is becoming fruitful
of cut rates in the eastern territory.
The brokers are cutting the rate between
Indianapolis, St. Louis and Kansas City
$2, and those soiling into Chicago are
making similar cuts through tbe com
mission now paid them by the Alton.
Chirman Blanchard's statement made
Saturday has been discussed fully and
the general opinion is that Mr. B!an

statement from the Alton passenger de
