WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 23.-The Trea-
sury available balance was to-day nearly
sl42,OOO.o0O, q gain Of about S1GOOO,OOO
since the first OF the month. The receipts
thus far for January show marked in
crease over those for the preceding month,
both in customs and internal revenue, the
increase in thelattes being mainly attrib-
utaale to the semi.annual taxes from
banks. The available cash balance on the
first Of February gives promise Of exceed
ing $l45, 900, a surplus sufficiently large to
warrant the Secretary fthe Treasury to
issue call for 0 percent bonds, but 1t Is
doubtful whether Mr.. McCulloch, who be-
lieves in retaining large surplus in the
Treasury, will issue such q call. The
quarterly payment Of pensions will be
due March 4, but except this there will be
no extraordinary demand on the Treas
ury next month. The Commission
er OF Pensions made acquisitions
during November and. December for S2O-
100000. The books Of the Treasury show
that there is now standing to the credit OF
the pension disbursing officers about Sl3,.
100000, several of the individual agents
having as much as Sl,0O0,000 TO their
credit. This fact was to-day brought to
the attention Of the Secretary by Treas
urer Wyman, and orders have been issued,
that hereafter, before warrants are issued
upon the requisition OF the Commissioner
OF Pensions, the balances in the hands Of
the Pension disbursing officers shall be
scrutinized, and that warrants for addi.
tional funds shall not be issued until the
balances are reduced to reasonable
amounts. There can be no good reason
assigned for maintaing in the hands Of
Pension Disturbing officers such large
Of money, and under the order
referred to the reguisition for about Sl0,-
100000 which the Commissioner OF Pen
sions will make next month is likely to be
held up,

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. %. Secretary
Frclinghuysen's attention was called to
IN extract from the inaugural address Of
Governor ireland, Of Texas, published by
the Associated Press this morning, lin
which he alludes to the unsatisfactory
condition OF the Mexican tradition treaty.
and states he has made repeated efforts
through the State Department 10 induce
the discussion Of the propricty amending
the treaty OF 1861, so as topermit any one,
no matter where his allegiance be, to
be extradited, but no results followed.
Secretary Frelinghuysen says the treaty
oflS8l does not permit the United States
TO surrender to Mexico one Of their own
citizens; that therefore this Government
can not demand OF Mexico the extradition
of Mexicans accused OF crimes committed
in this country, and that this difficulty was
seen when the negotiations were opened
with Mexico for the amended treaty to
cover this point. Mr.. Frelinghuysen
added, no time had been lost in the mat
ter, and in addition tointernational nego-
tiations the attention OF Congress was last
year directed 10 tho difficulty, with the
suggestion that appropriate legislation
might cure without the necessity OF q
treaty.

HAS THE TRUTH BEEN TOLD,
No News From General Stewart Since tho
Battle.

i bAIt1e.
LONDON, Jan. 2S.-The War Office has
received no news concerning General
Stewards advance since the account Of the
battle Of Saturday. The absence Of news
causes considerable anxiety. The heads
of the War Department met at noon to-
day. with Earl Morley, Under Secretary
Of State for War, presiding, to consider
the situation.
The anxiety increases hourly and is be-
coming general throughout England. Lord
Wolseiey's well known aversion TO the
transmission OF reports by special cores
pondents, and the fact that he has already
suppressed n number of dispatches to the
London papers, tend somewhat to relieve
the fears which are entertained for the
safety of General Stewards army, but the
present strain can only be relieved by the
early receipt of dispatches from the seat Of
the conflict.
The Times, Telegraph and Standard have
not yet received reports OF the battle at
Abu Klea, although they had special cor
respondents in the field. Thisfactincreases
the anxiety concerning the fate OF General
Stewart. A belief has become prevalent.
that the battle ut the Wells was more se-
we're than the Government is willing to
admit. There is an impression that
the official reports were colored at the
War Office, and that special dispatches
were intercepted by press censors because
they contained information which would
threw objeCtional light on the affair.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. GA straw
which shows the direction the business
wind now blows is the present condition
OF the dry goods trade. The indications
are encouraging and there is rea.
son to believe that the volume of
business in textile goods this year
will equal, II not exceed, that Of 1884.
Prices are likely to be Us good. There has
been considerable revival in the whole
sale dry goods line, and there is feeling
OF tirmnessin the trade Indicating that It
will hold out and possibl, increase.
Mr.. Baily, Of Joshua T. Baily & Co., said
yesterday that there was cautiousdisposi-
ton in the market, but that the signs were
good. The spirit Of caution was manifested
in smaller orders, but they were probably
more numerous. Prices are no better than
last year, but there is steady feeling, and
a steady, moderate advance in business at
moderate prices is looked for.
"What is the outlook for future busi-
ness as compared with last year?" he was
"The fall trade last year was rather

the firm OF William Simpson, Sons & Co.
"a great increase in the amount Of trade
is not looked for, and il II is better than 1t
was at this time last year it can be con-
sidered as encouraging"
"Well, is business better than this time
last year?"
$50 far as the year has gone 1t is inn
proved over 1884. People have been
doing business on n cautious basis.
Stocks are light and as the regular
season approaches jobbers must

to have q fair business this year. The
increase so far may have been caused by
the low price of domestic dry goods.
In the South and Southwest the peo-
pie seem to feel great confidence and arc
now buying more freely than for several
seasons, There is a ilrmer feeling
and less disposition than formerly
to weaken on prevailing prices.
Many people are out OF work and this
must have some effect. This is in the
cities, however. Outside OF manufacture

Letters alleged to have been written by
Mrs, Gaines in the years 1882. 1888 and
