Millions in the Treasury Vaults Insecurely Stored. rreiuurer Huston Couvimed that flit* Hundreds of Milliont* in Gold, Silver anil Paper are Not Safe—Has an Ama teur Make a Test —A Big UurgUrjr P<»«- •ibly Averted —New Vault* Ordered Washington, April 16.—A lively sen sation has its source in the discovery that the great vaults of the treasury, with their hundreds of millions of money, are insecure. In fact, Treasurer Huston lias demonstrated that a hold, skillful burglar could have golteu away with all he could carry in an incredably short time, and perhaps without alarming those in charge. When Treasurer Huston came into office, he receipted for $771,000,000 from his predecessor. At present, $100,000,000 of gold and silver are in one vault; over $100,000,000 of silver in another, and $•150,000,000 of paper in a third. A few days ago Treasurer Huston become possessed of the idea that these vaults were insecure. He, therefore, se cured the services of an amateur cracks man—that is a man familiar with the methods of burglars—to try the pirper money vault, in which $230,000,000 in paper money are stored. In just seven teen seconds this man had made a hole in the vault, and in sixteen minutes lie had made an opening large enough to admit his body. This discovery created a genuine stir in the department, and a scare message was sent to the house appropriation com mittee. A hill was immediately prepared authorizing the construction of new vaults. The treasury officials are in a great flurry because the news of the insecurity of tlie vaults has gotten out. They hull kept it a profound secret, and Treasurer Hustou had sent a strictly private mes sage to the house appropriation commit tee. There is noiv af very strong guard around the treasury vaults, and extra guards are placed throughout the build ing. Treasurer Huston has asked for an appropriation of $600.0.H) to strength en the vaults, and is much exercised be cause the appropriations committee is going slow in reporting a hill for this purpose. It will, however, lie rushed through the house in a few days. The present doors to the vault are of iron of a poor quality, made years ago. The idea now is to make everything of hard steel, that cannot be pierced by the tools of cracksmen. A Silver Conference. Washington, April 16. Secretary Windoui and Director Leech, of the mint bureau, had a conference with the house caucus committee on the silver question. The chance of a veto of any bill that would not meet the president's stated views were discussed and it was agreed that caution should he main tained in presenting a plan for the set tlement of the question to the house. There was an almost general expression of opinion in clinging to the lines of the house bill witii a concession to the silver men providing for the purchase of bullion certificates in lawful money or coin at the option of the secretary of the treasury. California “Doom Sealers.** San Francisco, April 16. —According to the prophecies of Mrs. Woodworth, George Erickson and several other re vivalists who created considerable ex citement in Oakland some time ago, yesterday was tlio day on which San Francisco and Oakland were to be de stroyed by earthquake nnd tidal wave, and the cities of Chicago and Milwau kee were also to suffer the same calam ity.

The Labor Situation In Chicago* Chicago, April 16.—The industrial situation in this city is fast becoming critical.

Washington, April 16.—AUmt a score of congressmen, composing the National legislative Alliance committee, met in formally the other evening, in a room on Ninth street, to discuss Alliance meas ures liefore congress. Among those pres ent were Mr. Turpin, of Alalmina : Col. Clark Lewis, of Mississippi ; Messrs. Mor gan. of Mississippi ; McClammy. of North Carolina : Featnerston, of Arkansas, and Bullock, of Florida. The sub-treasury bill was the leading theme of delude, but it waa not Anally decided whether to push it to a vote or not, though every one present agreed to push some measure which would provide for the government to lend money to the farmer—if not on the products of his farm, on his land. The plan which met with most favor was for the government to pay olf mortgages on farms, where they are now mortgaged to companies or individuals, and take in return mortga ges on the same at oue per oent. interest per annum; also for the government to lend money to a farmer when the appli cation is made at one per cent., the gov ernment taking a mortgage for the same on the lands of tlie farmer. The majority of those present thought this would, per haps. be a better plan to relieve the fanners than the sub-treasury scheme. Another meeting will soon lie had, how ever, when some plan will be decided u|sin, ami a bill formulated aud intro duced into congress. President Polk, of the National Alli ance, is to go liefore the senate commit tee on agriculture, to argue in favor of the sub-treasury bill.

When tlie gang of kuklux arrived at Holland's house, one of them held the horses while the others forced their way into the house. They knocked the father down and were kicking him, when the hoy opened tire on them, killing Gillam. Gatewood attempted to shoot tlie liov, hut his gun missed tire, and tlie lad then emptied the contt nts of his second barrel into Gatewood's breast. The identity of the other kuklux is unknown.
