CONDITION OF THE TREASURY.
Secretary Fosters Statement to the Ways

Secretary Fosters Statement to the Ways
and Means Committee.
Chairman Springer Of the ways and means
committee today received from Secretary
Foster Of the Treasury Department the
statement he has been expecting for
some time. showing the condition of
the treasury and its estimated con-
dition at the end Of the present and at the
end Of the next fiscal year. The statement
shows that during the irstsix months Of the pres
ent fiscal year the receipts from all sources were
$234 AIS, ais and the expenditures $3.50 ST. 0os.
leaving an excess Of revenues over ordinary ex-
penditures Of S3, s4s. 20s. The cash in the
treasury. including gold reserve, July /, 1892,
was Sl32, las, 426, and on December 81, 1892,
e129, 092, 5SS.
year ending June 80, 1893. are S466 .671 $50,
and the total estimated expenditures s46467 :
$50 leaving an estimated surplus of receipts over
expenditures for the current fiscal year of ex-
actly $1,000 600. The estimated cash balance
available June 80, 1898, is placed at $780,
the gold reserve fund. For the next fiscal
year, ending June 80. 1894, the Sec
rotary estimates that the revenues
from all sources will amount to $3.50, l21 1865,
and the estimated expenditures, which, how
ever, do not appear to include miscel-
s457, 261. 1895. or an estimated surplus
OF $50, S60.03. To this the Secretary
adds the sc, 1925 77 cash balance above the
gold reserve estimated to be available June
30, 1898, making an estimated available
balance on June 80, 1894, of S5S, s52. 4O7.
from which must be deducted 5000. 900
for redemption Of past due bonds,
fractional currency and national bank notes
and 81 ,ooo. 900 for probable payments on mail
subsidy contracts, leaving the balance S47,-
S52. 407.
There are contract liabilities of about the
amount of this balance, and it Is estimated that
SAC. 600 600 in contracts will be payable
in 1894, which would bring the real
working balance down to s7,s52.-
4O7. The expenditures on account of
pensions estimated in this statement for the
next fiscal year amount to Sl66. S31 $50, or an
increase over the amount which it is estimated
will be spent for pensions this fiscal year of
only SIS, 496, $50.

Fighting With Thieves.

Thieves have been making things lively in
the vicinity Of the workhouse and Jail lately
Sunday night a Waterman at the Washington
asylum, named Payne, was held up. He met
them on the commons not far from the institu-
ton, and they called, throw up your hands -
He complied with their request, but an in
slant later he had his weapon pointed toward
them and bullets were flying as fast as he could
pull the trigger. The would-be highwaymen
fed across the commons and escaped
Yesterday morning about 3 o'clock some ex-
element was caused about the poor house and
jail by hearing a number of pistol shots fired in
rapid succession.
Thieves had been in the poor house and sto-
len some spoons and knives and forks, and
when the Waterman pursued them and used his
pistol they returned the fire and escaped. After
daybreak some of the stolen cutlery was found
in front of the Jail, where the thieves had
dropped it.
