APPREHENoEo DEFICIENCY.
PENSION Payments Cutting Deeply Into the
Public Funds.


Public Funds.
WASHINGTON, Nov i5.-Secretary
Window is preparing his estimates for
the coming session OF Congress. Though
the Mckinley tariff law went in 70 effect
on the 9th Of October, goods imported
before that date may be withdrawn any
time prior to the first OF February at
the old rate Of duty. These duties
coming In with those collected under
the new law 1t is difficult TO estimate
what the revenues under the new law
will be at present The daily revenues
exceed the daily ordinary expenses but
there is no means OF estimating what
the custom revenues will be after
February l. 1t is not improbable
that the largely increased rates OF
duty in many instances will reduce i'm
portations, and therefore reduce the
revenues The indications are that
there will be some very large deficien-
cies in the appropriations for this year
to be provided for at the next session.
The deficiency on account of pensions
will be enormous Up to date there has
been $4,000, 900 drawn out of the
Treasury for pensions since the 1st of
July. About SIC, 900, 600 of this sum was
drawn this month, and it is hoped at
the department that there will be no
more persion drafts before January.
Upon this basis it is estimated that the
expenditures for pensions during the
whole year will be Sl4O, OOO, 900 or $780, =
600, 900.
But 1t seems quito probable that the
$4,000, 900 just drawn will not last un-
til January, and that the expenditure
for the whole year will be much moro
than st,mated. Deducting the Sl9,-
600, 900 not yet expended, the expendi-
lures for the first quarter of the year
have amounted to about S44, 600, 600.
This carried out for the four quarters
would make the expenditures for the
year SIG, 900, 900. to meet which less
than 500, 900, 900 has be en- appropriated.
Meanwhile the number OF pensions is
steadily increasing and the deficiency
may be greater than S7G, ,0O), 00O
