be killed.
The bird was great favorte and was
allowed the freedom of the premises. and
often remained out Of its cage at night,
which no moral parrot should do.
Polly managed to escape from the
skunk, but with tho loss OF one leg and
one wing. The bird aroused the neigh
borhood with its cries and eNclamations.
but was evidently at loss to name the
animal which injured it. That was not
necessary, however-there was no mis-
taking the identity OF the birds assailant.

Treasury Situation Improving.
CBy telegraph to the pispatch.l


WASHINGTON, ID. c., October 26.-The
Treasury situation, as the month draws
to a close. shows signs Of Improvement.
The receipts still lag behind those OF last
October. but pension payments are begin
ming to show substantial decrease, and
for this month will not probably exceed
81, 600 900. With the interest which was
paid October lst taken out of the cash,
the net excess OF expenditures over re-
ceipts for the month will probably not be
more than s6.O00.0O0. or about y26,Ooo,Oo In
excess of receipts for the first four
months OF the fiscal year. An encourag-
ing sign Is the increase of the gold re-
serve which to-day stands nearly $1,000
CO., This increase has been brought
about. not by increased gold payments
on account OF customs but by less gold
being paid out in the ordinary course of
Treasury business This has been made
possible by the fact that the Treasury
by working an extra force over-hours. has
caught up to some slight extent with the
accumulated paper currency awaiting re-
demption. The amount thus tied up has
now been made available and has been
paid out where. had 1t not been on hand.
gold would have been used to meet cur
rent expenses. Ii IL believed that the re-
demptions will keep ahead of the needs
for currency. and thus give the gold re-
serve an opportunity TO strengthen Itself.

ing Some OF these stations were $500
