Washington Items.

WASHINGTON, June 25.-But for
the fact that there will be large pay
gnent of navy and war pensions, and
the closing up of the balance ending
with the fiscal year, there would be a
larger reduction of the public debt
than has been exhibited during any
previous month since the advent OF
the present Administration. The re-
ceipts from internal revenue duties
and other sources are considerably In
excess of the estimates of the Score
tary of the Treasury and the Commis-
sioner of Internal Revenue.
This fact has induced several Sena-
tors to urge a reduction of taxation
and duties to the extent of hundred
millions. And even at this large fig
ure it is believed that there would be
a considerable excess of revenue over
expenditures sufficient for the sinking
fund.
The internal revenue receipts to-
day were $S11, ,659; graad total for
the fiscal year, $3.50 ,574 995; currency
balance In treasury to. day, $2I, ,974,
626; gold. SIP 133 ,056; coin certif =
