THE NATIONAL FINANCES.
The Condition of the National Treasury At
the Close of the Fiscal Year-What the
Vaults Contradictory Falling OF In
Revenues and Decreased Expenditures.

tne CIOSe OF the Fiscal IetV-"has eAAo
Vaults Contradictory Falling of In
Revenues and Decreased Expenditures.
s.... WASHINGTON. d. c., July 2.
The reduction in the public debt dur
ing June, as shown in the monthly state
nent of the Treasury is S9,2l7,256, and
Tor the fiscal year just ended, s70,O4O,97
against sls,O9s,2o1 and sl37,s23, 253
respectively for the two corresponding
periods of the preceding fiscal year. The
.otal debt now, less cash in the Treasury,
is 81, 45O, $50, 235, of which sl,226, 5G3, $50
is Understanding debt, against about ST.
ESQ, OOO,O outstanding month ago.
The cash in the Treasury to-day is $780,
1928, with current liabilities amount
ing to S252, O9s, 4s9, leaving an available
cash balance of $3.50, Ss7 ,439. The Treas
urer'S statement shows S9S, 5000 gold
certificates outstanding decrease OF
less than half million dollars during the
month. OF silver certificates Outstand-
ing there are about 1920, 600, 900 AN in
crease of S2,5OO,OOO since May 3lst.
Gold assets have decreased about So, 000,-
900 during the month, and the Treasury
now holds about 1874 100000 not
covered by outstanding certificates.
Standard silver dollars are steadily accu-
nulating-the Treasury now holding
Sl35, $50, 916 of that coin, or about 49,
OOO, 900 more than month ago. Gus
toms receipts for June amounted to
Sl4,f6l, l45, and internal revenue receipts
were $40, l04, l6l. The revenue of the Gov
eminent for the fiscal year ended yester-
day, from all sources, is fully up to the
estimates and expectations of Treasury
officials. .... tts
..r CUSTOM RECEIPTS fl.zt
for the year were Sl95,627, 291, against
S2l4, 7O6, 1876 during the preceding fiscal
year. Internal revenue receipts ran up
to 1922, O04 ,49S, against Sl44, 720,36S the
previous year. Receipts from miscella-
neous sources were $50, 557 ,944, or S.
900, 900 less than the year before, making
the net revenue for the year S348, l6G, 734,
against $39S, ,5S2 in lSS2-s3.
This shows a falling off, compared with
the preceding year, Of about 100000
in custom receipts, S23, 000,00 in inter-
nal revenue and SS,000,0O0 in receipts
from miscellaneous sources, or altogether
$50, 000, 600 less revenue than In the pre-
cedng year. While revenues have de.
creased, expenditures for the year were
about $50, 900 less than foI
lSs2-S3. The ordinary expenditures de.
creased from $40, OOO, 900 to SlS5, 0OO,.
900: pension charge from SEC, 100000 to
$50, 600, 600, and the interest charge
from S59,O00,00 to S55, 100000. Inc
large decrease in expenditures will offset
in great measure the falling off of $780,.
900, 900 in receipts I'D gave the Govern.
ment surplus revenue o. nearly Sl0,.
500, 900, against about Sl3,3oe,000 IL

The Florida volcano has been found
by Captain George Asher, of this place.
He followed up the Aucilla River as far
as the source, and there found large
number of pools of water which emit
a thick while smoke. The region is
very rocky. he saws, and the rocks. are
hollow and full of water. The pools
contain large numbers of fish. but the
water is nauseating to the taste and
smell. =1AaLachicOid Iribune.

TuE TEMPERANCE Meeting.

At the meeting in the Congregational
Church last evening, the audience, con-
sisting of a large number of our best
citizens, was pleasantly surprised when
the chairman introduced Clara Bed
wick Colby, of Beatrice. Neb. Phis
lady is editor Of The WOman's Tribune,
which excellent journal has adopted
for its motto. Equality Before the
Law" Mrs. Colby, by previous ar
rangement, had come prepared, and by
invitation of the presiding officer, pro-
ceeded to deliver one. of the most able
addresses yet pronounced ia Seattle in
favor Of woman suffrage. Her theme
was " The New Citizen" in which she
demonstrated beyond a doubt that
woman Is capable To manage her house
hold affairs and also take a hand in
politics.
Miss Bertha ID. Piper read very in
terestinR essay. She stated that it was
without a title. Her effort was, as
usual. highly appreciated.
Rev. Il. Ii. Taylor then addressed
himself To the young voters of the
audience, urging them to work together
and strive to win In this the most i'm
portant municipal election Semitic has
rs yet seen. He showed how their ad-
vantage was great, but they needed to
work In perfect harmony, or failure
would result.

WOMEN's MEETING.

A large number of our ladies are in
terested in the meeting to be held az
O'Clock this afternoon in the Congreea-
tional Church. AZ this gathering Miss
Leila J. Robinson will speak TO the
women Of this city concerning their
public responsibilities. Miss Robinson
will address herself particularly To- those
of conservative and home keeping hab-
its, and it Ia hoped a large number Of
such AZ have not heretofore interested
themselves in pablo matters una, be in
attendance. Another attractive feature
OF this meeting will be the presence of
Mrs. Clara B. Colby, who 50 pleasantly
impressed her hearers at the church last
evening. and who will again address the
ladies of Seattle. Words from these
two professional ladies will surely
coant, and every l.ds should try and
hear them, whether they are politically
inclined or not.

A PRACTICAL TEST.

The HoIIy system Of Water Works
pat in by the spring Hili Water
Company Proves q Grand success.
A public test of the Spring Hill Water
Campany's works WAS given last even
ing, and exceeded by far the expecta
tons of even the most sangnlne. The
hose carriage Of Engine Company No. l.
at o'clock last evening. was taken t.
the corner OF South Second and Jack
3 IN streets by the members of that or
ganization, where a fire pl1g has beeI
placed by the Water Company, and two
lines of hose attached, leading to Com.
meroial street. TIE pumps were no,
working at the time, and the pressure
came from tank on the top OF the
hill, some 30 feet above the level of the
bay, containing about so, 900 gallons Of
water. A pressure of 100 pounds WAS
placed on the hose, and two large
streams, equal to those from either vi
the steam ire engines, we're thrown from
the MOBILES. One of these streams was
thrown forty feet higher that the flag
staff over w. ID. Scott IL Cos building
The water was turned on for fifteen Or
twenty minutes, and the pressure was
not leesened at all during that time. A
much greater pressure could have been
obtained. but 1t was feared the hose
might give way. A large sum of money
has been expen led by the company IN
putting in these works. and the stock
holders are justly delighted over the
success of their venture.
Several hundred people in carriages
and on foot congreRsted about to wit
ness the test, aud everyone seemed sHr-
prised at the distance the large streams
we're thrown. With one of these fire
plugs op the corner of each block our
city would be comparatively safe from
destruction by fire.

BLAINE AND rug MONROE DOC.
THINE.

Herewith we publish an extract
from the closing passage of the chap
ter of Mr.. Blaine's book, which treats
OF the foreign relations Of the United
States. BY many ignorant and preiu-
diced critics the ideas Of Mr.. Blaine re-
spectine the foreign policy Of this gov
ernment have been subjected TO censo-
rious structures as something reckless
and dangerous. and liable to precipi-
tate this government into foreign
war. Such persons are either totally
aninformed or wilfully pervsrt the
meaning Of his expressed views. After
reading the extract below no man who
10 at heart an American can fail to
recognize that Mr.. Blaine has ex-
pressed the true sentiment Of
the people as TO the principles and pol
10y to be adhered 10 and enforced in
our intercourse with and relations 10
foreign governments. The closing sen
fences state In terse aud vigorous Ian
guage the American creed. They de
clare not only that il 10 the wish and In
teution OF the United States TO be
friendly with other nations, but 10 de-
mand from them non interference with
herself and kindred governments on the
American continent. This Is q doctrine
which has stood the test of over sixty
years In our history, and Is a. deeply
Undecided In the hearts of the American
people as Is the principle Of National
unity. 1t has been and will be enforced
when the occasion 90 demands. Fol-
lowing IL the extract referred to;
This brief history Of the spirit rather
than the events which characterized the
foreign relations Of the United States
during the Civil War has been under

ines OF burning indignation which they
provoked, or TO proionR the discussion
OF the angry questions which they gave
rise to. The relations of nations are MOI

gone by. England has paid the cost OF

Ornamental Woods of Oregon.
Portland Oregon, December IL.

POruand oregon, December H.
A San Francisco paper notes the
departure from that point of a ship
destined from Europe loaded with red
wood and another furnishing timbers
of California growth. The shipment
is in the nature of an experiment, but
it is stated that the conditions of cost.
transport and market have been care
fully studied. and that there is no
doubt of the success of the enterprise,
and it is predicted that other ships
and many of them will follow. It is
fact well known that Oregon pro-
duces a greater variety and much
finer woods than California. The
Port Oxford cedar is of the same gen
eral character, but in every particular
respect a better timber, than the red
wood It's color is better for panel
and other fine work, and its grain is
more distinct. We have a dozen or a
score of other fine woods, but the
best and most plentiful of all is the
myrtle, which grows along the
streams of the southern coast. The
beauty of this wood is beyond COM
parisOn. 1t is nearly as dark as black
walnut, notified with mahogany color
ed streaks, is hard and susceptible of
a perfect polish, and retains It's tough
ness when sawed into the thinnest
veneering. There is no ornamental
timber, except rosewood, equal TO it.
Even the curley and birds eye maple
SO much admired, is dingy q qd cheap
looking beside it, and the famous red
wood is as inferior as ordinary cedar
is to mahogany. If this beautiful
timber were once introduced in the
East or in Europe, we believe that it
would soon be in great demand. 1t
grows in forests in the counties of
Coos, Curry and Douglas, easily &C
cessible to the ocean.

Cuban Restrictions.
New York Tribune.


Part of the extraordinary barrier
raised by the Spanish government
against the intercourse of Cuba with
this country is to be removed. 1t was
resolved at a council of ministers at
Madrid to abrogate Article of the de-
cree of March the u, 1868, under which
goods from the United States, even
when arriving under the Spanish flag,
pay duty in Cuba as if they had been
brought under the American flag. The
aim of the Spanish government, ever
since the revolution of 1868, has seemed
to be to extort from the commerce of
the ever faithful isle" as much mo-
ney as possible for the treasury at
Madrid, with little regard for the in
terests of the people of Cuba. But the
policy is short-sighted, and its applica-
ton to this country, for more liberal
laws would encourage vastly increa-
sed trade and revenue.

Hair on the UDper Lin.

A correspondent of the New York

quite true that most of the depilatOr-
les advertised are worthless, because if
they are strong enough to remove the
hair they will also destroy the texture

ladies-who in other respects under

allow themselves so frequently to
