does not include the balances which VIII be

careful estimates made. viii not be less than

In the expenditures there is included

which Is a part of the surplus revenues, and
If added VIII make total OF SI22, 600, 600 Of
revenue IN excess of the actual and nscss-
sary expenditures OF the government for
the n5cal year OF 1889, which would make
an actual increase Of surplus at the end Of
this year Of Sl04, O0O,C COO. The estimate Of
uneIpended balances at the cl0ss Of this
nscal year, given above, Is extremely low
compared with the actual balances which
For instance, for 1888 the uneIpended bal
9nce OF the appropriations for that year was
$15s5l5,OOO; on the S0th of june
1887, SS4,371, S95; for the fiscal year
which ended on that day, and for
each of the years OF 1886 and 1885 was
over SIS, 100000. The above statement has
reference to the excess Of revenues for the
present fiscal year over expenditures for the
same time, and is entirely Independent Of
the surplus now in the treasury, amounting
to SSI, O34, 5O5, iLcluding 81, 347 ,5+o Of frac
Uonal coin. ANY portion Of the present sur
plus not expended within this fiscal year for
the purchase of bonds must be added to the
SIO4,OOO,OOO to arrive at the actual surplus
which Will remain In the treasury the 3Oth
or j un6 next.
With respect to the probable revenue for
the fiscal year 1889, the books of the treas
ury show that during the present fiscal year
up to and including October 10, the daily re-
ceipts have aggregated Sl15, .566 as
against $15, SG6, 478 for the same period last
year.
There is no reason to believe that the act
ual receipts for the fiscal year 1883 viii fall
below the estimated receipts. In view of the
increased activity in all branches Of Busi-
ness it Is believed that they viii fully equal,
If not exceed, the estimate.

The tunnel Caved IN.

NEwBURG, n. Y, October 17.-When the
West Shore train which left WeehaWken at
6:15 last evening reached a point in the West
Point tunnel where the roof was being rs

with baggage and express matter, were
crushed and fattened out like egg shells.
The tunnel was filed with debris. The ex-
press messenger had Just got up from his
chair and walked to the forward end Of the
car, when with a crash the rear end Of the
car was cut of behind him aR cIeanIy as
with an enormous ak. The passengers
grouped their way out of the tunnel, and
were carried to Corn wall by the boat at mid
night. The tunnel runs under the grounds

John Waller aud DR.. Philip Erohn
Speak at OsEaIOosa.
OsEALoOsA, KAN, October 15.-[Spe cial J
John Waller, of Topeka, spoke to a large
audience at this place Saturday night in the
county court house. The OskalOosa Glee
club furnished excellent music for the occs-
sion, and much enthusiasm was shown.
This county intends to win Governor O5-
b0rne's offer of $IO9 for tbs largest majority
IN the state this fail.
Hon. W. f. GiIluly presided at the meet
ing and introduced Mr.. Waller. He COM
menced his address by stating that he was
a republican, not half republican, but q
full-blOCdsd one, and in fact he was q
black republican. The head Of the
democratic party was in the south, he.E7id,
and of course the head wagged the tail. The
southern democrats held the whip, and when
they cracked 1t the northern democrats had,
to dance. He claimed that Cleveland was
elected by fraud, as one vote IN the south
was equal to three votes in the north.
Judge Martin, said AF. Waller, was, per
sOnally speaking, a very nice man, but
politically he was all WrOEg. He was trying
TO catch the cOlOEed vote BY sending q
pamphlet to the colored preachers through
out the state praislng up the cOlOrsd race,
and telling how much he had done for the
race. Mr.. waller reiaued several humorous
incidents that were relI5hed by the audience,
and he was frequently applauded during his
address.

LAST night DR.. Philip Krohn, Of Atchison,
spoke TO large number at this place IN the
court house. The republican dambeau club
gave parade and q display Of fireworks IN

discussed the third party issue at some
length, and told what the republican party
IN Kansas had done for prohibition. At the

are enjoying one Of their regular panicS

with some reason. They have lately com

other FOR defense, and arranged for rules by
which any vessel should be considered as dis
