THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.
The Treasury Department Have to Cut vsry
Close to Avoid Trouble.


Close to Avoid Trouble.
The Treasury Department will have to out
very close to make the revenues and expendi-
and the increase Of expenditures the
last Congress has placed the govern
ment in such position that it will
require skillful fnsnciering to make both
ends meet" The falling off of the revenues
of March by 5000, 900, or more than half, is due
chiefly to the abolition of the sugar duty, but
there has been some falling of in
the general importations. 1t is probable
that the revenues for this month
will be less than those for March and that there
will be still further falling of in May. In
June it is usual for the importa.ions to be
heavier, so that the chances are that there will
be an increase in the revenues during that
month over May. but great reducti IN n COM
parison with the same period year ago.
MAY BE A DEFICIENCY.
Throughout the year the revenues are liable
to run far below those Of the preceding year,
so that there may be deficiency in the
estimates of revenue sont to the next Congress.
At present there is a surplus of less
than 5000, 900 in the treasury, which ia more
now and June, and the only other money
beside this and the subsidiary
coin is about 24.0OO,O0 in the banks. This
amount is very little more than ia necessary to
keep on deposit for current business subject to
treasury drafts.
THE DIRECT TAX REFUND.
1t was thought that the payments in refund
ing tie direct tax would not fall upon
this years revenues, the acceptance
OF the amounts by the state leg
islatures being necessary before drafts would
be Issued. but of the seventeen or eighteen
millions about ten millions have already been
paid out
On the 4th of June the quarterly
payment Of pensions, which will amount
to anywhere from 5000, 900 to s33, 600, coo,
will fall due. This will take about
all the valuable cash of the government,
and future expenditures will have to be de-
pendent upon the current revenues, with very
little margin to provide for bond redemptions
VIXEN they fall due.

Secretary Proctor and Gen. Schofeld Consid-
ering the Matter.
Secretary Proctor and Gen. Schofield having
returned to town, they are busily
engaged in the examination of q num-
Der OF important questions that have
accumulated during the absence of
both from the city. Among these is the detail
OF two troops of cavalry to relieve the fourth
and sixth, now at Fort Myer. This will
probably be done within very few
days, as orders have already been issued to the
troops across the river to be ready to move by
the Let of May. Their departure, how
ever. may be delayed for a week
or two. There is no truth in the
rumor that the appropriation for the transpor-
tation Of troops was exhausted during the
Indian campaign and that is the
reason OF the delay in the exchange at
Fort Myer. There was a deficiency appropria-
ton made that more than covered the inroads
upon the fund and there will be no deficiency
on this score.

A RAID ON THE HUCKsTERs.
They Will All Have to Secure . License OF
Pay the Penalty.


Pay the Penalty.
Maj Moore yesterday issued an order, at the
request Of Assessor Trimble, to raid all unli-
censed hucksters, and the police started the
work soon after the order was received. In
cluded in the list Of persons to be arrested are
those who sell wood and coal from wagons and
fish from baskets. as well as those who deal in
fruits and vegetables twelve months in the
year.
During fish time the number of hucksters
always increases, for many persons, especially
old colored men, in an endeavor to earn an
honest penny 60 about the city and sell fish
from door to door.
Those who sell wood and coal increase in
numbers daring the winter months, when these
articles are most in need.
The amount Of the license tax is $50 and
many Of the dealers have to do business a
month or more before they earn that amount.
Many Of them were arrested todsy and those
who we're able to procure their licenses or leave
collateral were released, but those who could
not comply with the law in that regard were
locked up.
