Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.

SAN Francisco, June 18.-The navy
steamers Alert and Mohicap sailed out of
the Gate to-day, bound for the Alaskan
sealing grounds. They went under spe-
cial orders from Washington to carry out
instructions, based on the recent interna-
tional agreement. This agreement will
evidently afford little comfort to the fleet
of seal poachers, for by it British war
ships are bound to aid our steamers in
suppressing illegal sealing.
In no uncertain way will our navy and
revenue marine make known the decided
terms that are to govern the sealing
grounds the rest of the season. The Bear
and Rush are already north and the
Thetis and Corwin sailed yesterday. The
navy steamer Marion is to go up shortly
and take the latest orders. It is known
that Captain Hooper of the Corwin has
orders that will make all the sealing skip
perS feel very sad. He Will give these
orders to the revenue marine fleet, and
then those who know Captain Hooper
will confidently await results.
1t only became known to-day just what
these orders are. They are unique in the
history of the Behring Sea troubles.
Bulky envelopes brought details by mail i,
but ten-page dispatch from Washington
yesterday gave final instructions. No
vessels seized this season are to be sent
away, as was the Black Diamond, and
the skipper permitted to snap his fingers
at our navy, while his vessel rides safely
in Victoria harbor. Every vessel en-
countered is to be warned once, and a
memorandum of the date and place will
be entered in the log of the revenue
steamers. II, after having been warned,
vessel is caught sealing, she will be
seized and the vessel escorted to Coma
laska. There the skins will be removed
and stored, and the officers and crew will
be taken to naval transport steamer,
which is to be sent up either from this
port or the Sound for this special purpose:
A force Of navy marines will guard all
the poachers, and there will be few, ii

TREASURY STATEMENT.
The Expenditures the Past Month Ell
ceRd tho RaVnnuea

The Expenditures the Past Month Ex-
ceed the Revenues.
WASHINGTON, June 1S.-It is said that
the Treasurer's statement to be issued
tomorrow will show adeficiency of $780,
600, instead of the usual net cash balance.
This is the first time this has occurred
since the present form of statement was
adopted by Treasurer Jordan. In max
ing this calculation, however, no account
is taken of the S22,0OO,0OO on deposit in
the National Banks and the $40, ,OO0, 600
fractional silver in the Treasury.
The expenditures so far this month
have been IS, 1S3, S24 in excess of the entire
revenues of the Government during the
same period, amounting to $751; 1852.
These were exceeded by the pension pay
ments alone, which amounted to SlS,312,-
155.
The Treasury officials say the expendi-
lures during the remainder of the month
will be light, and the receipts will be suf-
ficiently heavy to overcome the present
excess of expenditures and leave small
surplus for the month.
These same officials say the Treasurer's
statement tomorrow will not include the
receipts during the past two days, and if
it did, an actual surplus of two S2,0O0,0O0
would be shown instead of an apparent
deficiency.
