A Gross Er,or.--A letter to the n. York Jour.
nal Of Commerce is copied into this mornings Ma.
tional lHegencer, says the Washington Union,
which is grossly inaccurate. ltprotesses to give
the receipts and expenditures for the last fiscal
year. The writer states:
,,Eor tI,o inf> #
state, in advance Of the report of the Secretary Of
the Treasury, that the receipts from customs for
the fiscal year ending the 30h Of June, 1915 will
exceed S27 800 600; from the public lands, 1000.
600; miscellaneous and incidental Sources 3 1863
99S 56; making, in all, over 500 100000. There
was balance in the treasury lst July. 1914. OF
81 ,s57 ,379 64, which, added to the receipts, will
make total Of over S37 100000"
The correspondent then adds, among other
things:
"1he erpendiiures under the direction of The
War Department 'eere rery large, being orer SIS
100000, or more Than one half Of the ~hOie erpen-
ses Of the government"
We are authorized to say that no such heavy
expenditure was made during that year, under the
direction Of the war department. There is an or.
ror oil probably half a dozen millions ofdoars-
De war department mas mol fSleDueu IWO-tnlr0s
Of fifteen millions. This writer puts the whole
expenses at about thirty millions If fifteen millions
were expended by the war department, over six by
the navy. and over two for miscellaneous expenses
making over twenty.three ni!Iions-it would
lea I'VE less than millions for h0 expenses Of
foreign intercourse. miscellaneous expenses and
for payments on recount Of the public debt. The
amount of treasury notes and stock of tho loan of
1871, that fell due within the last year, exceeded
seven millions. More than that sum has been ac.
tuaIIy paid. This would leave nothing for mis-.
celIaLeous expenses and foreign intercourse.--
This proves. most concIuswe!y, that the expenses
OF the war department have been grossly exnggcr.

placed upon the anonymous statements that eman.
ate from this city.
