UNCLE SANS TREASURY.
The Financial Transactions of the Year
Include some Large Figures.


WASHINGTON, Dec. Hon f. II. Ne
beier treasurer Of the United $ .atcs, has
submitted his annual report in regard to the
operations and condition OF the treasury to
Secretary Foster. Tho net ordin1rv reve-
rues of the government for tho past fiscal
year were s3D3. 6l2, Az, or $40, 4to, 80 less
than those Of the year before. The net or
dnnry expenditures, exclusive OF the
amounts paid in premium Gu bonds pur-
chased, were S3jj,311 GSl, IN increase of
$11, G36, 19S. The surplus revenues we're
thus cut down from 500, 81 |, lJG to %31,
239, TOE, which last sum was applied to the
reduction of tho public debt.
The postal revenues amounted to 'fGJ,-
1G2 sos, and thc expenditures SI2 OGi, $50,
un increase of about So eco coo on both
sides. On June 30, 1890, there stood
charged to the treasurer on the books CT the
department balance of SG9l, J2i 403, rep
resenting tile excess of previous receipts OF
the year frcm all sources, amounting to
@i5G S2l 800, which inado an aggregate of
81, 45i, 34c, iUH TO be accounted Tor.
The haIance OF these accounts, together
with certain sums which had been pad in
not covered by warrant, made the treasur-
er's liabilities $iS1, 43!, 10, at the opening
of the fiscal year and $6T, 10, 94j at the
close, for which ho held cash ami other as
sets the exact equivalent.
These figures, however, include upward
OF $2S. GOO, 00O Of deposits with certain
States, over which he has no control, and
upward of ~ 100, 900 of old losses from de-
iicits and defacations, for which lie is not
responsible. After making these deductions
the true assets md liabilities are found to
have been *i51 ,9l501 on Juno so, 1880,
.,i4S, 81, $50 on June 50, 1891, for which
he held cash or credits, all instantly avail
able, with the exception of CON parativeiy
small amounts Of uncurrent coin.

TIE SUGAR BOUNTlES.
About 2b0o Applications Made. - Tho
Laboratory Tor Sugar Analyses.

Laboratory Tor Sugar Analyses.
DR.. H. H. McIntyrssef West Randolph,
special deputy collector for New England
in charge OF the sugar bounties, was in
town Saturday on his way home after a
trip In Franklin and Lauolle counties, on
business connected with the duties of his
Office. He has just flushed a tabulation of
the applications for the maple sugar bounty
next spring, with the following result by
counties:
Addison, Sc; bennington, %; Caledonia,
Ali; Chittenden, 40; Essex, 90; Franklin,
3S1: Grand Isle, /; l.omolIs, 1874; Orange,
ijJ; Orleans, j5l; Rutland, Al; Washiug-
ton, 1879; " ndham, TAG; Windsor, 100;
total in the Stote, 25l4. or the whole
number OF applicants 1349, or more
than one-half, como from the three coun-
ties CT Orleans Caledonia and Franklin.
An examination Of the applications shows
that there are many more from the northern
part than from the southern part OF the
state, the returns bearing a marked rela-
ton 20 the thorougtness with which bull
letin issued by tue State experiment station
giving directions how TO get the bounty was
circulated. Rutland county furnishes
surprisingly small number of app cants,
when the Size OF the county and number of
sugar makers arc taken into consideration.
Cambridge is the banner town IN the State,
there being IS applicants; Albany ana Fair
fax come next, with y each, and Fallle!d
and Fletcher follow, with 60 each.
The location of the laboratory for the
analysis of the sugar is vet to be decide |
upon. DR.. Mcintyre says that the eXpe-
riuent station here is in posi-. ION to make
the analysis, but the government may pre-
fer to separate national from State work.
in which case quarters in the new govern
ment building at Montpelier will probably
be selected.
In this connection it might be we'll to
state that the September bulletin OF the
state Agricultural Experiment station is
devoted to maple sugar and contains much
valuable Information for those interested in
the manufacture of this pi oIuct.

GRAIN SHIPMENTS CHECKED.


Enormous Crop OF tho West.
CHICAGO Dec. THE Pennsylvania and
the Chcng and Grand Trunk railroads
to-day notified their Western connections
that they could no long rcceiv, shipments
of grain to DO re consisned at Chicago for
Eastern points. These were the last OF the
roads east Of Chicago to give such notice ard
the movement Of grain through Chicago is
checked, as none of the Western lines will
allow any more Of their cars to be taken
East.
At st. Louis, it is said, the situation is
the same as at Chicago, the Eastern roads
having stopped through shipments by trans
fer. Relief is looked tor only when the lake
and rail shipments Of grain are all out Of
the way, and that Will probably not be for
i've weeks to come.
Over 5000, 600 bushels of grain carried
by the lake line are in Buffalo elevators or
still afioat, and until this accumulation has
been transported TO the seaboard the East
ern trunk lines cannot release their cars for
the traffic from the " est. 1t Is expected
this relief will come about the middle OF
january.

BUILDING UP THE NAVY.
Rec ON m end atiops of Secretary Tracy's
Annual Report to the President.


Annual Report to the President.
WASHINGTON. Dec 6-The opening sub
iocts in Secretary Tracy's annual report 10
the president are tho protected cruisers
No, l3 and 70, OF which be says: ''With
maximum speed OF % knots an hour they
can safely be counted on to overtake any
commerce destroyer or auy mercantile
vessel now ahoat" Four new vessels, the
Newark Concord, bennington and Mau-
tonomoh have been placed i'll commission
during the past year, and 22 including
harbor defence ram, are under process of
construction and rapidly nearing compile
ton.
BY Tar the most momentous question
which the department has had 20 consider
IN connection with the construction of the
new navy is that OF armor; first, to secure
supply of Amer can manufacture; and
sacondly, to determine what kind of arNor
should be adopted, having reference both TO
its composition and mole Of treatment. OF
the latest trials which took place at Indian
Head on October 81 and which have been
reported in detail in the press Of the coun-
try the secretary says The results Of the
'trlnl were III the highest degree sGtisfactorv.
Zach Of the SIX plates manufactured III tais
Country was srperior to the English com
pound plate, while the nickel Harveyed
rlate and the high carbon nickel plate were
Superior to all the foreign plates Of the
Annapolis trial. They may therefore be
pronounced in advance Of the best armor
hitherto manufactured in Europe"
Ca the subject Of ordnance the report
says tibet a total OF 81, guns are required
10 arm the vessels authorized by Congress
a"d that Of this number 10 are already
competed. The most important advance
mae during the past year in respect to
powder consists in the DEVELOPMENT of
tinc4 elcss powder invented ls Prof. c. Il.
Monroe OF the naval torpedo station. The
results haze exceeded the anticipation
formed in ref renee to this powder and it is
safe to say sGat W. lin a short time the use
of ordinary lunpowGer will be abandoned
IN calibers of six inch and below.
The progress made abroad il the construc-
lion of submarine boats has been carefully
watched, and it is believed that recent de
veopments in the appcations OF electricity
have greatly himplj fed the problem and
point TO the eX9eGieucy OF constructing
such a boat in the near future.
Thc attack OF Americau seaman at Vel
parais0 and the operations of the feet in
thilian waters is referred to at length, as
are also the necess!tios for n steady increase
OF the many especially because OF the en-
largiug of our commercial relations with
the lands waGhed by the Pacific.
The closing topic in the report is tho en-
pioyment Of labor al many yards aad the
secretary refers with some pride to his sys-
ten OF examinations By which o force of
fkilled and only skilled workman are ON
ployed.

entered largely into the campaign. Gov.
Horace Boies, the democratic candidate
for reelection, favored a modification of
the present law, while H. c. Wheeler, the
republican candidate for governor, in
sisted that the law shall remain and be
enforced. The other gubernatorial can
didates were A. j. Westfall, peoples
party, and Isaac Gibson, prohibition.
The candidates for lieutenant governor
were S. II. Beerton, the present demo-
cratic umbent, and George II. Van
Houten, republican. l.. G. Kinnea,
democrat, and Silas NJ. Weaver, repub-
lican, were candidates for judge of the
supreme court.
Thirty precincts give net democratic
gain of 149 on governor.
Two hundred and two precincts give
a net democratic gain of 500. This in
cludes Polk county, where the demo-
Gratis made large gains.
