How the Moner Files.
Washington, June 20. The United
States Treasurer's statement, issued
to day, showing the operations to the
close of business, June 20th, gives the
following figures: Cash balance, $43,
097,810; deducting $21,666,746, on de
posit in National banks, and 20,l73,
625 In fractional silver, or a total of
$41,840,371, leaving the net balance or
surplus of $1,257,439. A statement
prepared in the Secretary's office,
giving the operations to date, shows a
net balance in the Treasury oi $4,765,-
000. Referring to the statement
that the cash in the Treasury to-day is
$87,000,000 less than it was July 1st,
1890, including the amount held for re
demption of National bank notes, a
Treasury official said this afternoon,
that the books of the Treasury Depart
ment show that the amount paid out in
the purchase of the bonded indebted- !
ne88 of the United States since that
date has been $113,810,843, or $26,810,-
843 more than the reduction in the li
cash refei red to. A statement prepared
at the Treasury Department shows that u
the net gold in the Treasury, coin and
bullion, on the 20th instant, was $121,-
333,339, or $11,873,824 less than was
held on the 1st instant, and $8,889,065
less than was in the Treasury June 1st,
1890.
The statement only goes back to Jan
uary, 1888, at which time the net gold
in the Treasury amounted to $202,955,
184, or $81,621 ,845 more than at the
present. Gold holdings were greatest
in March, 1888, when they were $218,-y
olo.zdd. The receipts irom customs at
the port of New York, during the first
twenty days of June were $5,493,139.
The receipts during the corresponding.
period of last year were $9,348,074. Hi
is estimated that two thirds of the cus
toms irevenues are collected at New;
York, and that the total receipts fromj
customs for the present fiscal year '
ending June 30th; next will be about
$5,000,000 less than the present fiscal!
year.

THE DEFAULTER'S STORY.
I
EX-TREASUREiR BARDSLEY'S SINGU
LAR CONFESSION.
He Implicates Others and IWakes it
AppearThat he Is a much In
jured and Ruined TIan
Though a too Con-
tiding Nature.
i
PHlLADELPiii , June 23. Two weeks
ago, when ex-Treasurer Bardsley
pleaded guilty j to the many charges
against him the court fixed to-day as
the time to pass sentence upon him.
Public expectation has been wrought
up by the promise that when he was
brought into j court Bardslev would
make a full and free confession of his
malfeasance. By many it was thought
that in his statement, or confession.
Bardsley would implicate men high in
business and - official life. Men whose
names have only been hinted at,
but who were supposed to be his con
federates; such expectations proved
groundless for Bardsley's confession
practically confessed nothing that has
not been made public throueh the
columns of the daily press. The "con
fession" was more in a line of defense
of his own conduct and was exceeding
ly specious and fair-seeming, giving in
detail his various transactions. It
bristled throughout with figures and
showed where every dollar he has been
accused of misappropriating, has gone
to. The charges to which he has
pleaded guilty; of loaning public funds
at interest i and to speculating
with them.be frankly be acknowledged.
but he emphatically denied that he
had been benefitted by his transactions
to tne extent of a dollar. The National
Bank Examiner, Drew, came in for a
severe scoring at the hands of Bards
ley, and be laid it to Drew's door that
be sunk his money in the Kevstone
bank. Bardslev said that it was
through Drew's plausible statements
of the hawk's j condition that he had
deposited his money there. He fur
ther charged! Drew, - through an ac
knowledgement by President Marsh.
of the " Keystone Bank. that
Drew knew of the bank's condition,
that Drew was under obligations to
John C. Sulas, the dead President of
the bank, fori money loaned and for
valuable favors received. Bardsley
implicated Henry II. Yard in the trans
action, by stating that it was through
him he had loaned money to the bank.
According to! Bardsley's strtement his
present plight may be accounted for
by trusting too much in the statement
of others, and can be epitomized in his
own words as. telling his story of the
depositdn the Keystone bank: "I did
not get the money and I have never
gotten any part of it and it is still in
the bank or should be there.
I know that the closing of the bank
meant a great loss to the city and
State and personal destruction to my
self. I therefore made every effort to
sustain the bank, and its closing has
resulted in my absolute ruin." The
statement comprised many pages of
closely written typewi iter copy and
consumed an hour and a quarter in
reading. As Bardsley read his voice
was clear, distinct and audible in every
part of the court room. Twice he
faltered add was compelled to cease
reading, when he spoke of his family,
but otherwise he read firmly to
the end. A summary of Bardsley's
itemized statement shows a net bal
ance due the city of $191,061 an I a
net bal inoo dua ihti awtuar i,i)UJ,7t9.
making the total on city and State of
1,194,630. iThis balance is accounted
for as follows: Clearing house due
bills from Keystone bank, $92.5u0; re
ceipts of the President of the Keystone
bank for 100 bonds of the Baltimore
traction company, $1,000 each, $100,000;
notes taken! from Granville B Haines
for cash given him to assist the
Keystone ban $25,000 ; 750 shares
of stock in the Farmers' andMechanics'
bank $100,000; cash in the Farmers'
and Mechanics bank- in connection
with the 750 shares of stock $808;
cash in the hands of assignees 5,000;
total $1,155,808. Balance; due the city
and State $38,882. The statement con
tinuing sjiiig: This accounts for all of
the money entrusted to my care except
a balance of '638,822. This amount is
many times! overcome by property and
claims I have made over to my assignee,
all of which is subject to the disposition
Oi the city and the State.
In connection therewith I ought to
refer to $430,000 of stock hereinafter
mentioned, which is also in the .osses
sion of my assignees."
At the 1 conclusion of Bardsley's
statement, j District Attorney Graham
asked the court to suspend Bentence in
definitely, ; so as to allow au expert
accountant to pursue their investiga
tions further. This the court agreed
to and Bardsley was taken back to
prison.
A New Rain Producer.
Washington. June 23. The last
agricultural appropriation act con
tained an appropriation of $7,000, to be
used id experiments in the production
of rain fall. The Department is now
about to embark in these experiments,
having prepared to test practically the
theory that heavy explosions cause
rain-fall. Last evening a preliminary
trial was made and a balloon sent up
in the northern suburbs exploded with
great violeuce ' amid i the clouds.
Whether the subsequent down-pour
of rain later in the evening was caused
by the explosion remains to be deteroi
lned. and the Ddparimeni win try me
experiment on a large scale tomorrow
to test the efficacy of this means of
breaking summer droughts.

THE SOUTHERN EXPOSITION.
Failure to Respond to Got. Holt's
Proclamation Which Some
Thought not Within
The Law.
Raleigh, N. C , June 23. Spe
cial. Many of the counties in the
State have failed to respond to the re
quest in Governor Holt's proclamation,
that they appropriate a fund for county
exhibits at, the Southern Exposition.
Failure on the part of some was due to
a non-progressive spirit, but on the
part of others to the belief, that no
power exists to make such an appro
priation. Attorney-General Day Id son
to-day, settles the disputed points. He
adopted and reiterates the opinion of
Attorney General Kenan, expressed
some yean ago, during the State Ex
positkm, and says the CommUsloners,
ia-Utjunctloa with the Justices, have
full power to direct the application of
county revenues "for any good and
lawful purpose for the use of the coun
ty." - Emphatically so in a: case like
this, when the movement is to have an
exhibit ot the resources of the State
and in which every county is inter
ested. The Executive Committee of the
Board of Trustees of the Agricultural
and Mechanical College met here to
day, and elected Charles R. Park, . of
Raleigh, assistant instructor in Me
chanics. The department plans for two addi
tional dormitories were agreed upon;
The board of instructors of the col
ored Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege also met this afternoon and
elected W. H. Pace president and
John S. Leary secretary. It was de
cided to advertise for the most advan
tageous proposition for the location of
the college, bids to be made' not later
than August 26th. McD. Tate, W. B.
McKoy, Chas. H. Moore and John S.
Leary were appointed executive com"
mittee to confer with the com
mittee of the white college, and
make arrangements for conduct
ing the colored college here
provisionally for a period not to exceed
one year or until the sollege is regu
larly established. The college can not,
by law, be permanently connected with
any existing institution. It was agreed
by the committees to equip the college
out of the first appropriation under the
Morrill act, the work to be done in
teaching for provisional session by
teachers from the white college.

)Tue Irish Troubles.
Chicago, June 23. A special dis
patch from Denver says: John Fitz
gerald, president of the Irish National
League, has received a telegram nere
notifying him of the receipt of a letter
from Parnell pledging himself to do
everything consistent with his position
to cerry out Fitzgerald's views. Fitz
gerald says this is the demand of the
Dartv in America tnai tne lnsn Tac
tions in Ireland unite on a leader be
fore the September convention, and
Fitzgerald adds that no money is being
sent or will be sent till they do unite
and that a plenty will be forthcoming
then. J. J. O'Kelly, M, Jr., chairman ol
Pamelas envoys, denies that it Is the
purpose of the envoys to bring their
mission to a close, being hopeless of
makin? anv head way in this country.
He says that he will form a committee
of prominent Irish Americans in this
city to assist in tne worn nere ana wui
then go from city to city ana organize
similar bands of determined men who
will stick to Parnell to the end. He says
furthermore that the rumor that tbe
work is to be abandoned grew out ol
the fact that Parnell himself has made
up his mind to come to America month
after next to attend the Baltimore
convention in November, and wishes
to have a consultation witn wiuiam
Redmond before he leaves Ireland.
Redmond, at Pamell's request, will go
to Ireland and report to Parnell. The
leader wishes to leave Redmond on the
other aide in Ireland during his own
absence in America.
