{Washington, Sept. 17.—The comptroll
er of the currenc^haa declared, a third
dividend tof 10 per cent. !n favor of the
creditors of the State.National Bank of
Knoxville. Tenn.. making In all 55 per
cent.
Employes of the treasury department
ore thoroughly worked up over the dis
charges now toeing made to carry into
effect the reorganization provided by
the ©ockery commission. So far the
“ax” has tfallen moot heavily on the wo
men employes and many high-priced fe
male clerks have been discharged. The
scenes today and Saturday when the
dreaded yellow envelope containing the
discharge was hamled *to the victims
was in many cases pathetic. It waa
nbt unusual to have a half dozen crying
clerks in one bureau. Many of the fe
male clerks discharged hod been long
in the service and one case Is men-
tioMft of a woman who was among the
first ever appointed to government cf-
•flee toy United States Treasurer Shiner,
ovej- thirty-five years aigo. Twelve
tiferks were discharged today.
The gold reserve increased today near
ly 9400,000, standing at b»e close of bus
iness in the treasury at 957,430,351.
The first matter that occupied the at
tention' otf Secretary Herbert today

coinage of silver dollars and the redemp

Alin in on oi* fa eh. i.t.^_ _»
At the .be*innln«r ot the present ad
ministration this eum of 529.ti0.4tl was
81,11 Jn the treasury, and standard sil
ver dollars to the amount of 51,697,223
have .been coined since that time. Of
this last sum. however. 5520,079 was
aelg-ntorage. leaving 51.077,lttt to he held
the treasury. It appears, therefore,
that the whole coinage under the act
has keen 537.305.487. and that the
amount to be held In the treasury for
redemption purposes was 530,657.806. Of
this sum 51.121,000 have been used In
the redemption of notes, and that
amount has keen retired and cancelled.
No treasury notes have been redeemed
In sliver unless silver was demanded,
the policy and practice of the depart
ment having: been to redeem In the kind
M money demanded by the holder of a
note. The presentation of the treasury
notes for redemption of silver began hi
August. 1803. when there was a great
scarcity of currency of small denomi
nations. and there mms redeemed during
that month 51.273.267. which Is the larg
est amount that has been presented In
ony one month. As sli'own above, there
were held In the treasury at the begin
nlng of this administration 129,480.461
sflver coln-d from f-' bullion purchase,
under the act of July 14. 1890. notwith
standing the fact that 51.597.223 has
been coined since that time, there are
now on hand only 520,189.724.”

Lexington, Sopt. 17.—Everything
quiet tonight, tho uomlnutiou of Owe™
being conceded. It has, however, been
u more exciting day than any of the
preceding week. When tho Owens
men cl-auned tho nom.natiou by a de
cisive majority Saturday nlgut tue
Breckinridge men stood pat. Icstenlav
thoy worked harder than ever. Today
it became known that their representa
tives bad been dispatched into the utf-
forent parts of tho district to get nil
evidence, with a view of contestlug the
uomtnation before the Demoemtle eoh-
gress-ohid district committee, which
meets at Frankfort next fitturday, nr.d
which is the returniug board that
makes the olhclal couut and declaration
us to who is tho nominee. Tills com
mlttee Is composed of one uiembel
from each county. Fayette county, tin,
borne of Breckinridge, bus two Icgisla-
tive districts uud licucc two mum hers
of this committee, each of the other
-seven counties having one. The mem
ber of the state Democratic committee
for the Seventh district is the tenth
member of the committee, which was
known to stand six for Breekinrldgo
and four anti-Breckinridge.
As this committee has done every
thing ln Its power for Breckinridge in
hxing ft late date for the primaries,
adopting the challenge rule and every
thing else he wanted, the Owens meu
were alarmed today on finding out that
Breckinridge’s agents were at work
with n view to presenting evidence for
n contest before tills committeo next
Saturday. They learned of letters sent
to the committee of the agencies in
different counties working up tho case
and beliovcd there was a well planned
purposo to throw out the veto of cer
tain preclnets. on the ground of Irreg
ularities and declare Breckinridge the
nominee. It was promptly announced
that four members of the district com
mittee would,snake a minority- report
Saturday and appeal to the Democrats.
This meant that Uwous and Brccklu
ridge would both be candidates and
light to « finish ln November. Mean
time tlie Republicans, who hold their
convention hero September 20, liegan
to regard their unnamed nominee os
the favorite and there was much ex
citement. Tlie tide was turned in tue
afternoon when B. J. Welsh, the com
mitteeman from Breckinridge's home
and one of his strongest supporters,
announced tlmt ho would never vote
to go behind tho returns when Uie com
mittee met at Frankfort. As this would
leave the committeo a tie, or three to
live la any event, and as other Breck
inridge men on tho district committeo
who had stood by him to the last were
not disposed to go behind the returns,
tho old guard of tho silver-tongued ora
tor gavo up tho struggle. They will
not, however, concede the plurality of
32U, which the Owens met, claim to
night from complete returns.
•Among Col. Breoklnrldgc's strongest
friends are tho nominees hero on tho
county ticket, nnd Uiey, as well as
other county candidates, wero not dis
posed to hazard their interests by as
sisting ta Uirowing out any of the Ow
ens precincts nt Frankfort next Satur
day. It is not likely Uiat there will Iks
any moro agitation.
OoL Breckinridge will servo tl’l next
March.
