At a meeting of the senate investigat
ing committee at St. Louis, Senators
Plumb and Cullom were were not pres
ent, the latter having gone home on ac
comit of illness.
William Peters, of Allegheny City,
Pa., who was the first witness, stated
that he had been a butcher in Pittsburg
for the past thirty years. He was ahked
what effect the dressed beef trade had
on that market, and said that it had de
pressed it. Tho butchers were told by
the Armours that if they did not handle
it they would establish shops in that
vicinity, which they did. The dressed
beef people also sold lard for 8i cents,
which could not be made and sold for
12J cents. Tho witness said that the cat
tle trade had fallen off a great deal in
Allegheny. After obtaining control, the
dressed beef companies closed their
shops and the butchers are now selling
their goods.
Jefferson Reynolds, of Las Vegas, N.
M., the next witness, said that when he
was in New York and Hartford he found
that butchers were paying as much and
more for their cattle as three years ago.
The witness said he informed them that
stock raisers were not getting 50 per cent
of what they got two years a?o.
At the conclusion of Reynolds' testi
mony Senator Manderson said he
thought that as only a minority of the
committee were present it would not be
advisable to continue the examination,
and as the investigation could be taken
up more advantageously when congress
met in Washington, he wonld move that
an adjournment be taken until Decem
ber 5th, and that the committee recon
vene at the capitol. An adjournment
was then taken.
After adjournment of the senate com
mittee investigating the cattle question,
Senator Vest said to an Associated Press
reporter:
"Congress convenes one week from
Monday, and some of the senators have
private affairs that need attention. So
we will take a recess for a week and re
sume work in Washington. We shall
hold sessions from day to day till con
gress adjourns, and if we are not finished
by that time we will hold sessions dur
ing the recess. We intended to go to
Chicago and Kansas City, but the time
is too short." The adjournment to
Washington will increase the coat enormously.

The annual meeting of the National
Cattle Growers' association began in
Chicago on the 20th. After electing W.
A. Towers, of Kansas City, chairman,
the association was welcomed to Chicago
by Mayor Roche. In a paper read by
Hines, of Michigan, a member of tne
committee appointed to investigate con
tagion of Texas fever, it was recom
mended that the association instruct lU
legislative committee to ask fS""
enact that all railroads or other trans
portation companies shall transport
southern cattle from ..,e en
other between the first day of March
and the first day of Decemler of each
year only in cars or compartments that
re labeled and branded M plain and
distinct characters, "For transportation
of cattle south of the thirty-sixth paral
lel of north latitude only, "and that they
shall be yarded and fed only in yards
distinct and apart from northern cattle,
and that are branded and lettered simi
lar to the cars and compartments, and
that no native or northern cattle be ad
mitted in these cars, compartments or
pens between the first day of March and
the first day of December of each year,
unless the same shall have been thor
oughly disinfected and the warning pla
carLi removed. The committee also
recommended the enactment of uniform
legislation by the various states regulat
ing the transportation of cattle and their
care in stork yards. After several other
paiers had been read a recess was taken.
The afternoon session was opened by
Dr. E. D. Salmon, superintendent of
the bureau of animal industry, who, in
the courne of his report, said that 274,
255 head of catle had been inspected in
the search of pleuro pneumonia during
the year. Of this number 2,340 were
found infected and slaughtered; also
4,778 head of cattle which had beon ex
posed to tho disease were killed. In a
majority of the states the disease has
been entirely eradicated. The commit
tee on resolutions reorted favorably on
the resolution of tho committee on leg
islation, lieforu further reports were
made a resolution was adopted advo
cating the enactment of a national in
spection law, providing that it shall be
unlawful to transport from one state to
another state or foreign country, any
beef, pork, mutton or veal, to bo Sold
for human food, which has not been in
spected alive at the slaughtering place
by a United States inspector, and found
healthy, and that a special bureau of
inspection should be created in the de
partment of agriculture.
The committee on resolutions made a
favorable rcjiort on otlur matters pre
sented at the morning session and it
was adopted. A resolution was also
adopted approving the exhibition of
American animal products at the Paris
exposition in 1W9, and urging all stock
men to give all aid to the authorities in
connection therewith. It was also ro-
solved to coutinue during the next year
a system of tests at Chicago, or some
other point relating to the contagious
ness of Texas or splenic fever. The fol
ting resolution relating to the bruis
ihg of cattle in shipment was unani
mously adopted:
Resolved, That we, as cattle growers
and shippers, realizing the great suffer
ing oi cattle and the loss to slnpjrs by
bruised and injured meats, caused by
shocks in cars while in transit, believe
it opportune and even a duty to say to
the great railway and transportation
companies, that wo are inclined to give
our patronage to such companies as
equip their freight cars with such brakes
and couplers as will prevent suffering to

A University In Bad Financial Condition.
Public attention has been directed.
says a Baltimore dispatch, to the Johns
Hopkins university, by reason of the
fact that notwithstan ding its ownership
of 17,000 shares of the common stock of
the Laltunore k Ohio railroad company,
Judge Liobbin, who represented the uni
versity in the board of directors of the
company, was turned out at the annual
election, and the university entirely ig
nored. Tiiis fact, regarded as it is with
astonishment by the public, has led to
the development of surmises and other

to the university itself. When tl. n .

THE FINANCES OF TNE PUTIC
rt-ml rtr KiUtd Jnm SO,
The treasurer of the United States,
Hon James W. Hyatt has submitted
to Secretary Fairchild his annual report
of the operations of the treasury. Tht
net revenues of the government for the
fiscal year ending June 80. 1888. were
$379,256,074, and the net expenditures
$267!7y2,481, the surplus rece ipts avail
able for the reduction of the public
debt being $111,341,273. an increase of
$7,870,178 over one year before. As
compared with 1887, the revenues were
$7,82,77 greater and the expenditures
$7378 less. The treasury balance in
creased during the year from $69,22,
379 to $129,804,242, and the total assets,
including certificstes of deposit in cash,
from $622,304,284 to $76. 729,525. The
net change of $60,579,863 ia the balance
was produced by an increase of $37,-
526,468 in the assets and! a decrease of
f23,0.')3,3i4 in the liabilities. The silver
balance fell off more than 527,000,ww.
The principal increase of assets was in
United fStates notes ana aenosm in na
tional banks, and the principal de
crease of liabilities in the public debt
and funds for the redemption of na
tional bank notes. There was a net de
crease of $74,838,920 during the fiscal
year in the princial of the interest
bearing debt
The total purchase of bonds for the
sinking fund and out of the surplus rev
enues was $r)l,404,300, the net premium
paid, exclusive of accrued interest, be
ing $8,270,842. The gold and silver coin
and bullion in the country, and all kinds
of notes outstanding June rfO, lsov,
smonntcd to $!,25,2-'i,8k2, and on June
30, 1HH8, to 2,093,362,073. Tho stock
of gold and silver increased from $1,
007,513,901 to 81,092,391,690, mostly in
old.
The increase in Oie volume of paper
circulation was SO,424,4O0, resulting
Irora an increase of $110,319,955 in the
amount of certificates and a falling on
of $20,895,554 in the total of notes and
fractional currency.
Some attenion has been given to the
question of the probable loss or destruc
tion of paper currency, out wnnoui any
very definite result. A table is given
showing the course of redemption on
the first issues of legal tender notes.
Until the notes are collected in by tho
government or some other conrse
brings them to the treasury, the loss
from destruction must be more or less a
matter of conjecture The most careful
estimate from the data at hand places
it at 1 per cent or less, according to tho
denomination. This is snpitorted by the
history of the earlier paper issues of the
government.
Certificates of deposit amounting to
$24,110,(100 were issued for Uuited States
notes, and $18,465,000 were redeemed.
leaving $14,665,000 outstanding. The
treasurer attributes the decrease in the
use of these certificates since 1886 to s
change in the manner of redeeming
them, the holders now receiving the
same notes that were deposited, inntfsd
of new notes, as formerly.
Tho volume of gold certificates out
standing increased $20,536,333, reach
ing $143,023,150, the highest point yet
noted at the end of any fiscal year.
Taking into accouut the decrease of the
amount in tho treasury, tho total in
crease of circulation was $29,901,143.
The coinage of silver dollars during the
year amounted to 532,44.073, making
the total coinage $2.424,790. The in-creaj-e
of the net distribution was only
$29,156. Owing to the scarcity of one
and two dollar notes, and the demand
for the movement of crops, nearly
$9,000,000 were drawn iuto circulation
lietvteen May and November, H1, but
when the notes were again to lie had the
dollars came back to the treasury as fat
as they had gone out. The treasurer is
or the opinion that the people have all
of these coins they want, or are willing
to take, and recommends that if the
purchases of silver are to continue bul
lion be put into form by heavy bars or
ingots, arguing that the present supply
of dollars will be sufficient for any de
maud there is likely to be for them, and
that any increase of certificate circula
tion could be based with perfect safety
ou the uncoined metals. The new sil
ver vault in the treasury building hav
ing a capacity of $1,(100,000,000, and
said to he the largest trcasnry vault in
the world, is being filled at the rate of
half a million a day. It will hold the
total coinage of three years, but at the
and of that period still further storage

only $5,500,000 in other pieces. The
treasurer h.u,U out that this proportion,
winch does not vary much from year to
wrmhe, and that something
like $15,000,000 in fifty-cent pieces that
are not nded for circulation will
doubtless have to be carried by the
trr-asnrv until they are reooined into
other denominations or absorlied by the
growth of business. The minor coin in
the treasury, amounting to $I12,30, ia
reported to be in good condition, and
not in excess of what ia needed. The
treasurer states that the gold in the
treasury is in good condition with the
exception of a little. Many of the silver
half dollars are much worn, soma beinc
quite smooth, and that it has been im-l-ossible
to reooin these because the loss
would have been too great in proportion
to the new coin age, mostly dimes, whioh
it was necessary to produce. The da
crease in the amorrnt of deductions on
account of mutilations from the face
value of currency redeemed, and ia tha
nnmber of counterfeit notes and coins
rejected, show a gratifying improvement
tn the condition of the circulation in this
resiect.
