treasury, tonight said:
The item of ordinary expenditures
includes about S19,000,000 of pension
payments, checks for which began
to be drawn Sept. 4. This exhibit, sup
plementing the facts recently published
respecting the operations of the treas
ury since Sept. l, 1889, conclusively an
swers the mistaken assertion sometimes
made that the treasury either is now or
has recently been engaged in alb
sorbing and then boarding in
creasing amounts -of the money of
the country and the other mistaken
statement that the recent measures
adopted by the department to get money
out of the treasury and into the chan
nels OF business have borne but little
fruit. An excess of disbursements ever
receipts Of nearly S44,000.000 in thirty
days is the record. In addition to this
accomplished result the department is
ready to disburse, If bondholders will ac-
cept, Sl0,000,000 under the secretary's
second. d.call for the AS; also about S26.-
000.000 under the offer to anticipate in

chase of pereents on Wednesday next
if rendered, at prices not exorbitant-

bursements and silver purchases
