Eokels Says There Is the Root of
the Treasury Situation.

Ciuiie to Complain,
London, Sept. 1C The Hon. James II.
Eckels, Comptroller of llie United Slates
Treasury, made the following statement
today on the request of a representative
of tbe Associated Tress:
"Being thus far away from New Tort
and not knowing tbe exact local condi
tions prevailing tbere which are produc
ing tbe shipments of gold abroad, I feel
that I can say nothing upon that subject
If important will benefit tbe public.
"Generally 6pcaking these gold ship
ments come about from tbe fact that the
American people are buying a great deal
abroad and are not silling sufficient of
their own produce to equalize things, thus
necessitating a setllcninet of tbe balance
due in gold.
"We maintain a financial system which
makes the United States Treasury a general
market supply for all requiring gold.
Consequently more are less embarassment
comes to tbe administration of the Treasury
Department when these balances require
to be settled. However, the Treasury
has always managed to maintain unques
tioned the payment in gold of its obliga
tions, and always will do so.
"The system under which It is forced
to operate makes it sometimes expensive
to do so, but as lorg as Representatives in
Congress refuse to change that system, and
as long as the voters tolerate them, the
people have no right to complain of the ex
pense." Brew-musters to Meet.

SPUN WIS FBI6HTENED
Strong Words of Cleveland and
Olney About Mora's Claim.
FIERY DISPAT0HES PASSED
Injunction In llio TYiizer-Dextcr Cu&o
Served Upon tlio Secretary law
yer to Ho l'nid $000,000 Money
to He Disbursed Slowly The Ques
tion of Axslgnineiit.
Secretary of StatcOlnoy uasreturncd from
his summer vacation and was at his desk
at tho Department yesterday. He was very
much pleated at tile successful termination
of his efforts to secure the pajmeut of the
Mora claim, 'and with the SpanlEh draft for
$1,449,000 in his hands, feels relieved of a
responsibility v. hlch at one time threatened
tho peaceful relations between this country
and Spain.
Ills ultimatum to the Spanish government
demanding the payment of. the claim within
a reasonable time was a forcible document,
and brought the Secretary of State many
cordial congratulations upon bis Mgorous
foreign policy.
A gentleman who was interested in tbe
negotiations which finally resulted in the
payment of the claim is authority for the
statement that the public will be greatly
rurpriscd with tbe toaevf some recent com
munications whenthescal of secrecy Is taken
from them.
BOTH WERE ENERGETIC.
He says that not only was the Secretary
of State deeply Impressed with the Justlio
of the tlalm, and used energetic expres
sions in conveying his opinion to the Span
ish government, but that the president,
hlmelf. prepared in his own handwriting
some ot themo re Important and threatening
dispatches which passed within the last
six weeks, nud of leu nude Interlineations In
tbe official communication ot his Secre
tary of State.
With the Spanish draft safely deposited in
the vaults ot the department, the Secretary
will carefully proceed to distribute tbe
money among the claimants, attorneys and
assignees ot Interests in the claim.
The marshal of the District notified Mr.
Olney jesterduy afternoon that an injunc
tion had been issued restraining an assignee
ot nn Interest In the claim from collecting
any money nn the assignment until the
courts have passed upon a claim now pend
ing involving the interest in question.
The injunction proceeding, while en
tirely unnecessary, was taken as an extra
precaution to preserve the rights of Mrs.
A. E. Frazer, who accepted In payment for
a farm an assignment ot an Interest in the
claim. Tbe records ot the Department show
the apparent Justice ot the woman's con
tention and hertltle totheinterestclalmed,
and she was so notified.
An erroneous impression has been cre
ated in this connection by statements of an
Injunction being Issued against tbe Secre
tary of State. It is Impossible for the Ju
diciary, one branch of the government, to
enjoin the executive, another branch.
I'AY OUT SLOWLY.
Secretary Olney will act with deliberation
in disbursing the money collected In settle
ment of the Mora claim. The two lawyers,
Dr. Jose Koderigucz- and Nathaniel Paige,
In the case are entitled to SGOO.OOO ot the
$1,449,000, leaving $849,000 for the
claimant.
From tills amount will first be de
ducted the assignments ot Interests made
since the claim has been pending. A rec
ord has been kept in the State Department
ot every assignment given and reported,
and Mr. Mora and his lawyers will be re
quested to examine and pass upon the accu
racy of the accounts berore a dollar is paid
tbem.
Should Mr. Mora question any of the
assignments recorded opposite his share
of the claim, or should either of his at
torneys, the amount of the interest in
volved, whether It is $5 or $30,000,
will be set aside until a court of Justice
has decided tho case.
The State Department will retain all
tbe money In dispute, and will not hear
any arguments. It will disburse the share
claimed by acknowledged assignees, and
forward to Mr. Mora and bis atloruevs
the amount that remains to their credit
after deducting confessed and contested
assignments.
It Is supposed that all assignments of
interests have been made a matter of
record In tbe State Department, as the
terms of an assignment of interest in an
international claim. If properly drawn.
Indicate that the transaction should be
recorded In that department. If there arc
any assignments which have not been so
recorded the- assignees, to preserve their
rights, should notify the department at
once.

TROLLEY TOOK A TUMBLE
Removal of the Poles on the
Eckington Line.
WORK GOIHG ON SWIFTLY
Large Crowds Look on Admiringly
and Are Loud In Tlielr I'mKo of
"Tlio TimeV' Tills Mornlnsr Xew
York Avenuo Will He Free of Poles
mid Wires".
The programme of the Interesting trasedy
of the trolley was carried out exactly as
it was printed jeslerday In The Times.
.Early yesterday morning Jlr. M. F. Talty
and a gang ot workmen gathered at the
Seventh street terminus of the trolley,
whore tliey found that Lineman While and
his wire strippers had preceded theni and
uuhlUbcd the wires. Mr. Tally's gang
pitched in and In forty minutes the first
gaunt Iron pole struck the flint stores,
made the fire fly, and rang out the first
notes of the new popularsong,"TheTinics
lilt the Trolley."
The Inhabitants in theLeighborhnod who
read The Times knew exactly what the
proceedings meant, but the Inhabitants
who rcail the nthcr morning paper, hav
ing been informed that It would be a day
or two before the iwlcs would come down.
Imagined all torts of things. When they,
however, learned that the men were not
digging an artesian well or prusrvcting
for free silver, they Joined in the tune
above given, the refrain of which was,
"Eat "Em Up Times." It is bad English
to bay Tbe Times "dune it." but that is
what even the tmall boys said ns they
watched and commented on the perform
ance. None of the officials of the company were
present during the funereal digging up of
the heretofore lightning charged nultances.
It is said that tbe occasion was one of such
inerfable sadness that a pall hung over tbe
Washington and Baltimore offices all day.
It was, nevertheless, a mighty interesting
proceeding and was done this way:
Shortly before 0 o'clock the first pole was
removed. It stood near the corner of 8ev
enlh street, and had apparently been plant
ed to remain until tbe day of final judgment.
Tho pole ilself was imbeddwl In six feet of
mortar, broken granite and bricks, con
stituting a receptacle a foot thick. This was
lopped oft with a layer of heavy cobble
strmes. In preparing to remove tbe pole tbe stones
were first loosened and thrown in n heap
on one side. Then a pick and shocl were
brought Into use and a bole dug nn one
side of the pole to tbe depth of a man's
bend, the earth lieing thrown out, leaving
tbe concreted mass practically Intact.
WERE PLANTED DEEP.
A crowbar was taken and the granite,
bricks and mortar dislodged piecemeal.
Later a gang of men with a heavy scant
ling as a lever, came and pried up the pole
until it Tielded and could be pulled out of
its casement. It was then laid horizontally I
between the tracks and will subsequently
be hauled away forstorage.
A gang of twenty men, employed by 1L
F. Talty, as contractor, under the immedi
ate supervision of Foreman Autley, this
morning assembled at the corner of Seventh
street and New York avenue, and when tbe
whistles blew for 7 o'clock, the first pick
fell and loosened a cobblestone in tbi'l'.n'o
conical earthwork that protected the first
trolley pole that stood face to face with
metaphorical destruction. r
Six other workmen with picks were as
signed to tbe next succeeding half dozen
poles, which carries the line of operations
to within one pole of Fifth street. The
Instructions were to peg away until tbe
pole was ready for tbe finishing touches of
removal, and then the digger would go
to the bead of the line and begin another
pole.
In this way comparatively rapid work
Is performed, although the tenacity with
which the poles cling to tlieireuvironinuuts
is something remarkable. Foreman Aut
ley joined with his men in the Work of
final removal, and expressed the belief
that material progress would be made
before tbe hour for ceasing labor this
evening.
MAKING RAPID PROGRESS.
In fact it is evident tbat the thirteen
poles between Seventh street and Kirby
street will be easily removed by nightfall.
The work of removlcg the wires,from the
poles, which was begun at l.TiO this morn
ing under instructions of Cblef Lineman
White, after tbe cars had stopped run
ning, was completed only to Klrby street.
Ttie Ire for this distance, from Seventh
to Klrby streets, has all been taken down
and nearly all of it removed to the store
house, lictween Fourth and Fifth streets
there had seemingly not been sulflcient
time in which to perform the work, and
the heavy copper wire had been laid along
tbe curbing, out of the way of passing
vehlcles.and will be takenaway to-night.
It Is intended to remove forty-two poles,
seven of these being between Seventh and
Filth streets, and tbe remaining thirty
five cover the distance from Fifth street
to the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad tracks,
where the overhead wires will be cut and
anchored. A force of men are on hand at
the latter point, but it is doubtful if any
thing of consequence can be accomplished
until tbe cars are through running for tbe
day.
MORE HORSE CARS ON.
Eleven borse cars, in addition to those
ot tbe Fifth street line, whicli run from the
Baltimore & Ohio Depot to the corner of
Fifth street and New York avenue, carry
passengers to theJunctionatFloridaavcnue,
where connection Is made with the trolley
cars for the Catholic University.
The workmen engaged in removing tbe
poles were constantly surrounded by throngs
of citizens, who did nut hesitate to com
mend The Times for the good fight it has
fought and won. They watched with
critical interest the digging and prjing
which was necessary to bring tho heavy
poles, planted in six feet of cement, to the
surface.
Tlio work of filling In the holesand repair
ing the street so that it will be In the same
condition as it was before being used by tbe
street railway company, will be begun
by another gang as soon as those engaged
in the removal of poles have made sufficient
headway to keep tliem busy.
The removal was completed as far as
Second street yesterday, and the remaining
poles up to the Baltimore and Ohio tracks
will no doubt be outrot-slgbt this morning.
The result disabuses tho minds ot people
about tho "tremendous delay" In getting
into the suburbs out ot the city and into It.
Tho only delay will be in getting by
swltt horses and cars to Fifth street rrom
the Baltimore and Ohio present terminus of
tlio trolley, and this fact is wortha thousand
argumsnts.
The future plans of the company were
published, as well as they could be ascer
tained, yesterday in The Times.
