WILLIAM C, WHITNEY DEAD. linent The End Followed an Operation For Appendicitis. New York, Feb 2—William Collins Whitney, ex S-cretary of the Navy, died afew minutes after 4 o'clock this afternoon at his home, 871 Fifth avenue. He died while under the in- fluence of ether administered pre paratory to a second operation for appendicitis, By his bedside were his son, Harry Payne Whitney, aod bis The statement in every particular is maliciously false and libelous Your correspondent, without a shadow of cause or justification, has assaited my honor and integrity as a sworn otticer of the atate, and, in justice to myself, my family and my friends and the great Democratic party of theState which has honored me with this high and responsible position, I demand full and auequivocal retrac tion of these charges. There has never been one penny of the State’s moneys used during my incumbency of the office of State Treasurer for private parposes. The appropriation for the Farmington asylum was promptly paid on pre sentation of the warrants issved by the State Auditor, the regularly con stituted authority for issuing such warrants, Until the warrant in suc! cases is issued by the State Auditor and presented to the trersurry for payment, the funds are kept on de. posit with the State depositorie:, where they draw interest for th benefit of the State. It is not true that the law requires the treasurer to publish monthly re porte of the condition of the treasury The law, however, requires the treas- urer to make monthly, quarteriy and annual reports to the Governor, un- der oath, and this law has been strictly complied with. to this and without any requirement of law, I have given out for publica tion each month to the correapond ents of both me:ropolitan and !ocai In addition papers, copies of the reporte filed with the Governor. There is nota bank or commercial office in the state which is conducted on etricter business principles or morein se ord- ance with the caw than the state treasury.
