WADsWORTH DISPATCH,

WASHINGTON T T
From Our Regular Correspondent.

stead of the prosperous business year
he expected it is now certain, unless
there is a radical improvement, or
legislation of some sort TO add to his
revenues, that at the end of the pre-
sent fiscal year-June 30, l894-his
balance sheat will show u deficit OF
from $50,000,000 to $1O0,O00,O00 The
administration had hoped to keep
this matter away from Congress until
after the silver bill was disposed OF by
the Senate, because of a desire not to
add any new complications TO those
alread existing in the Senate, but the
regular monthly Treasury statement
contained enough to show those fani-
liar with national finances just how
things stood, and now the matter is
talked of everywhere that Congress
men congregregate. There is no pro-
liability of any increase i'll the revenue
from customs duties until after the
new tariff Is ready to go into effect,
and If IL shall seem probable from the
tariff bill which will be reported to
the House that the cuts will be many
and deep, there will be a still further
falling off, as importers will all wait
for the new tariff. IL is not probable
hat any action will he taken in Con-
gress to help the Treasury, until after
the President shall have made known
his wishes, either by "a special message
or through the leaders Of his party,
although several propositions have
already been made in both House and
Senate with that end i'll view.
Everybody now seems lobe agreed
that Congress will keep RICH, along Ut
work, with the possibility Of a shor. re-
cess Of a couple of weeks in October to
give the members y chance TO visit
tue Worlds Fair before its close, but
somehow the manner in which the
committees on the Senate side are act
ing, or rather, not acting, indicates
that the Senators have a doubt about
it. At any rate the Senate committees
are doing nothing. Those of the
House, with the exception of Ways
and MI aus and Banking and Currency,
have had nothing to act upon yet, but
they will be overrun with bills as loon
as the rules of the House are adopted
and the regulab introduction of bills
begins. The Ways and Means conf
mittee is already heels over head in
the preparation OF the tariff bill. The
Banking & Currency comittee has
been considering the Johnson incon'
vertible bond bill, and u proposition to
repeal the tax on State bank currency
but has arrived ut no definite conclu,
sion concerning either.
It is no longer denied that the
repealers have u majority Of the Sen
ate; it 10 now only q question d
whether the ~repealers can bring the
bill TO O vote. A number Of the South,
ern Senators have stated that they
will not tillibuster. to prevent y vote
and the populist Senators are also OPP
posed to tillibustering, Senator Peffel
having 80 stated ON the floor of ths
Senate. Notwithstanding all of THU
the Senators from the Northwest art
still confident of their ability 10 pre-
vent u vote. The test is likely TO b.
made inside of two week. Then We
shall know who wins.
President Cleveland certainly does
not look like a sick man now his eyes
are clear and bright and his w
ents quick and elastic, and he has
since his, retun to Washington, done
AN amountbf work that no sick ma
could have performed. Still, his ply.
