Receipts and Expenditures.

WASHINGTON, D. c., November 18.-The
excess of government expenditures over re
ceipts has reduced the available balance in
the treasury to lower point than it has
ever been in the recollection of the treasury
officials.
The available balance is 9S,08s, 1914, Of
which 1884 76 is gold reserve.
The officials of the treasury department
declare, however, that they feel no alarm
and are confident the government will meet
its obligations without resort to any extra
ordinary steps.
The greatest embarrassment is the 49,.
094, 200 currency balance, of which $12,OOO,-
600 is in subsidiary silver coin.
This is legal tender to a very limited ex.
tent, and the department can not use it ir
making necessary payments. 1t is believed
congress alone will be called upon to solve
the financial difficulty.

GALEsBURe, ILL, November 16.-The 1lli-
nois State Federation of Labor is in annual
session here with delegates representing 10O,-
600 members present. A motion to appoint
an "out-of-work" committee precipitated an
excited discussion. The committee is to
take steps to secure work for the unemployed
in Illinois.
President Madden denounced Governor
Altgeld for refusing to answer letter on
the subject of state help for those out of
work, addressed to him by the union, and
his disinclination to receive a committee
that tRed to see him on the same errand.
Other speakers joined in condemnation.
The discussion concluded with the appoint
ment of committee. The general sentiment
is the committee should demand assistance,
and should not beg in a cringing manner.

An ser.n. In Hawaii.

The steame- Australia arrived IN san FEan-
cisco and brought the following news:
HoNoIULu, November 1.-But little OF
definite nature has transpired since adVices
by the steamer China were sent. ).
Perhaps the most Significant was one u
the remarks of Minister Willis, wnen No
presented his credentials on the TN ms lnSs''
gether with the reply of President Oole.
Mr.. Willis placed his credentials as Blount
successor in President Dole's hands and said
be vas directed by the president OF the
United States to give renewed assurance Oh
the hearty good will which the United StatSs
government entertained for President dole
and the people of Hawaii.
In conclusion he said: 'mvoking spirit
of peace, friendship and hospitality, which
has ever been the shield and SWORD OF our
country, I now, on behalf of the United
States of America, tender to your people the
right hand of good will, which trust may
be as lasting as know it to be sincere, ex-
pressing the hope that every year Will pro
mote and perpetuate that good will, to the
honor, happiness and prosperity OF botn
governments"
Replying. President Dole said the assur-
ance of Minister Willis of the continued
friendship of the United States government
for the Hawaiian people, added tina gratih-
cation which the long experience of gener-
Gus consideration of the United States Tor
Hawaii had fostered. These assurances are
heartily reciprocated.
1t has leaked out within the last few hours
from very reliable source, that the new
minister will negotiate a new treaty with
the provisional government, which will place
the island virtually under the protection of
the United States. 1t is understood that
when completed this treaty will be at once
submitted to the United States senate with
President Cleveland's message. In the
meantime the United States will let the mat
ter remain in statu quo here, both internally
and externally.

Charges Are False.

PHILADELPHIA, November 2O.-Mr. Pow
derby denounced the charges made by Secre-
tary and Treasurer Hayes as absolutely and
unqualifedly false. He said there had been
no misrepresentation of funds donated for
the relief of strikers, and that each and
every act of the executive board was open to
inspection. He explained where and how
all the money said to be misappropriated
was used. He then appealed to the general
assembly and asked if they we're not satisfied
with his explanation. He intimated the
charges and false reports were given to news
papers by persons who had grievances, real
or fancied, against the members of the exec
utive board, and in unmeasured terms de-
nounced such proceedings as unworthy of
knights.

The Queen Expects to Regain Her Throne

SAN Francisco, CALL, November 15.-The
steamer China has arrived from Honolulu.
Minister Willis had arranged for a formal
presentation of his credentials to the provi-
sional government, hut had not done SO
when the China left.
Among the passengers who arrived on the
steamer China were Admiral Skerrett and
family, Lieutenant Fox, his flag lieutenant,
and Secretary Wilson. 1t is the opinion of
those who came from Honolulu on the China,
that the annexationists will make no resist
ance if the United States restores to Queen
Lilliuokalanni her throne, but that this gov
eminent will have to keep force of men
constantly on shore to maintain her on
the throne. This, they say, will practically
amount to annexation, with the anomaly of
territory of the United States governed by
a woman who calls herself queen.
The ex-queen had held a reception Of her
supporters and had passed the word that she
was to be restored to the throne. Willis
would say nothing for publication.
