CONFIDENCE is ASSUMED.
The Condition of the Treasury not Re
surinY-NOtes.

The Condition of the Treasury not Reas-
suring-Notes.
| WASHINGTON, May 26.--In spite of the
rose-colored views of Senator Allison re-
garding the condition of the treasury, it is
noteworthy fact that the higher officials
of the government are considerably wor-
| ried trying to figure out how they are going
to meet the obligations now maturing with
out completely wiping out the surplus. On
the fourth OF next month the treasury will
be called on to pay out $26, 100000 for pen
sions, and this is really ten millions less
| than the estimates called for. but as the
funds are running 30 low in consequence
of the heavy appropriations made by
Reeds billion-dollar congress, an order
was issued recently to allow only small
pensions, and thus cut down pay
ments in the aggregate. Next winter
the secretary in his recommendations to
congress will be compelled to ask for
large sum to supply deficiencies. This will
fall on the democratic house, The shortage
was predicted in the last house by Mr..
Dockery, of Missouri, one of the most act
i've democrats on the appropriations COM
mittee.
| Secretary Foster, with refreshing conf
dence, said this morning that he antici-
pated no difficulty in meeting the quarterly
pension payments, aggregating SIG, 0O0.0OO,
which fail due June 4. The available cash
balance is now nearly S16,OOO,OOO, and will
go beyond $26,0ooOO0 by the early part of
| June by the continued excess of receipts
over expenditures. The secretary's conf
dence is not generally shared.
Quite a nunlber of Ohio republicans are
at present in the city. 1t is said that they
are on the still hunt for officers and are
making the claim that patronage will help
out wonderfully, in view of the fact that tho
political contest in the Buckeye state is to
be such lively one this year. They are
considerably troubled over the conclusion
of the Ohio Farmers alliance to put tick
OF i'll the field, but while protesting to be-
lieve that the democrats will be hurt as
badly rs TIE republicans. it is observed
that they would much prefer to have the
battle sQuarely between tho two old parties.
Senator Vance has returned from North
Carolina, and will soon start for trip to
Europe While abroad he will collect
some valuable information to be used in
his tariff speeches in the senate.
The New York World OF to-day prints a
telegram of some length from Congressman
Cooper, of Indiana, i'll which he expresses
the determination to ask for rigid exami-
nation of the pension office when the house
meets next winter. He says that, poiiti-
oally. the investigation ordered last year
was a farce, and that the packed republican
committee shielded Raum. and would not
let the prosecution examine important
witnesses.

Panic Among Jews.

that the czar intends to make a thorough
clearance of Jews from st. Petersburg,
Moscow and Odessa caused great conster-
nation among the Jewish colony in this

alarming report more readily because they
know the government has been requested
to interfere in behalf of the Christians of
this city, four-fifths Of the trade of Odessa,
it was claimed, being i'll the hands of the
Jews. Crowds of Jews arrive daily from
Kietf and elsewhere and embark for Jaf-

The Statist Reviews the Situation
and Outlook From q Conserva-
tive Standpoint.
The Almost Unprecedented Drain
on America Followed by
No Uneasiness.
Tho Stage Drivers of Paris Out ON .
6trike-Much Inconvenience to
the Public.

LONDON, May 26.-The Statist, reviewing
tho financial situation. expresses sur
prise at the wonderfully cool manner in
which Americans have faced the tremend-
ous drain of gold from New York, and says
it is, perhaps, the most remarkable circun.-
stance connected with the markets of the
world. The Statist goes into figures, and
states that on last Wednesday fs5. 900 in gold
were shipped from New York, and that dor
ing the two previous wseks over G300,O 600
sterling were drawn from the same quarters.
Since Wednesday 100000 additional have
been ordered, making n total of nearly
Ga, 100000 sterling within three weeks, and
since the beginning of the present year
Europe has drawn from the United States
over G1O, 100000 sterling. The Statist then
reviews the financial situation in the Argen-
tine Republic, and expresses the opinion
that the only chance for the early re-
covery OF prosperity there is to be
found in the liquidation of the state
banks and the establishment of new ones
commanding larger resources. The thirty
millions of their paper money is now worth
little more than one-fourth of its nominal
value. 1t would tend to the success of the
scheme if toe new bank were to have
directors selected from their own citizens
of we'll known financial ability. with gov
ernor, who should be appointed by the gov
ernment. .-t
The Statst evidently takes gloomy view
of the situation all around. It suggests
that Argentine finances might be improved
by subscription of Europen capital, but
in that case the subscribers would deserve
the fate in store for them. The new banks
might prove good investment if managed
on European principles, free from the mis-
chievous influences of the government.
The Statist expresses the opinion that
crisis is likely to happen at any moment in
Portugal, and the only salvation seems to
be compromise.
