resolution, sent to the House to-day statement
relative to the finances of the Government He
says his estimates are not very far from being
allied since the date of his report in December,
adding that the receipts will not be adequate un-
less the expenses be reduced below the amounts
estimated for. He refers to the pending measures

strength.
