BOND ISS UE.
Sensible Suggestions as to Sale
OF Bonds

or Bonds.
On account of the difficulty in secur-
ing such u sum within the time it would
be required by the imposition and coll
on of additional taxes, l recommend
that the third section of the act to pro.
vide for the resumption of specie pay'
ments, approved Jan. II, 1875, which
cOnfers authority upon the secretary OF
the treasury to issue and sell certain
descriptions of United States bonds, ba
so amended as to authorize him to issue
and sell, at not less than par in coin,
bonds to an amount not exceeding $780,,
100000, bearing lower rate of interest
and having shorter time to run than
those now provided for, and that he b(
permitted TO use, from time to time,
such part of the proceeds as may be
necessary to supply any deficiencies in
the public revenue that may occur dur-
ing the fiscal year 1894 and 1895.
The section referred to provides that
toenable the secretary of the treasury ti
prepare and provide Tor redemption il
this act authorized or required, he is
authorized to use any surplus revenuei
from time to time III the treasury moi
otherwise appropriated, and to issue,

bonds authorized by the act of July Il,
1870, are described as follows;

gregate two hundred million dollars, in

scribe, and of denominations of fifty

Decrease OF Receipts and Increase
of Expenditures.

Decrease OF Receipts and Increase
of Expenditures.
During the first five months of the
present fiscal year the expenditures of
the government have exceeded its re- !
ceipts to the amount of S29, ,9lS, ,095 Sc.
There has been not only decrease Of
receipts, bat also an increase of expend-
itures during this period as compared
with the corresponding five months OF
the last fiscal year. The revenues from
customs have fallen off S23, So, ,S29. IA;
from internal taxes, 81, S66, ,667. 90, and :
from miscellaneous receipts, 1924. l52. 80.
The expenditures on account OF the war ]
department in the execution of contracts
made during the last fiscal year have
increased Sc, ,162, ,132. AZ; OH account
of the navy department for the same
reason the increase was S1,9l2. .2S9.31;
on account of Indians. 1886, ,O7S.55. and
on account of interest, 500, ,45O.25; but
there have been reductions i'll some
other branches of the public service to
the amount of Sc, 352. 206, as compared
with the corresponding period last year.
The result of these changes is that on
the 1st day of December, 1898. the actual
net balance in the treasury. after de-
ducting the bank note per cent re-
demption fund, outstanding drafts and
checks, disbursing officers balances,
agency accounts, and the gold reserve,
was only Sl1, ,03S, 44S.25, and of the total
amount held 1881. $3.50 was in SUBJ
sidiary silver and minor coins.
1t may be safely assured that the
worst effects of the recent financial
disturbances and consequent business
depression have been realized, and that
the condition will be much more favor
able hereafter for the collection of an
adequate revenue for The support of the
government; put it can scarcely be eX-
pected that the receipts during the re-
mainder of the fiscal year will exceed
the expenditures for the same time to
such an extent as to prevent very
considerable deficiency. l have there
fore estimated probable deficiency Of
S28, 900, 900 at the close of the year. and
if congress concurs in this view of the
situation it will be incumbent upon it
to make som e provision for raising that
amount as soon as practicable by its
action or otherwise.

PREPARING FOR HOLIDAYS.
House Cleaning Day at Washing
ton

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2O.-The house
spent the day in the consideration of the
two pending conference reports, those
on the urgent deficiency of the last ses-
sion, and for the New York & New
Jersey bridge bill, preparatory to the
adjournment tor the holiday recess to-
morrow. Both reports were agreed to
after some very lively speeches. The
deficiency bill called forth very bitter
arraignment of both parties forwanton
extravaganza from Mr.. Hutchison, of
Texas. and the bridge bill. as amended
by the senate, was vigorously opposed
by Mr.. Cummings, Mr.. Warner, Gen.
Sickles and Mr.. Bartlett, of New York,
but it was finally passed by decisive
vote. The pure food bill, intro
duced by Mr.. Hatch yesterday,
was referred to the committee on
commerce, and when the house
met this morning Mr.. Hatch moved a
change of reference to the agricultural
committee, of which he is chairman, but
the demand was temporarily withdrawn
to permit matters of more urgent i'm
pOrtance to be disposed of. The report
OF the secretary of the treasury was
laid before the house. Mr.. Savers then
called up the conference report on the
urgent deficiency bill of the last session
and Mr.. Hutchison took the floor. He
made vigorous speech in which he
scored congress, and the members of
all political parties, for the reckless
and wanton extravaganza displayed in
these halls. Before he came to con-
gress he had worshiped the Democratic
party as man worships his mother.
He now wishes to apologize for the
words of glorifcation he had uttered
during his canvass. "Oh, the gentle
man from Kansas (Mr. Simpson, need not
smile" he said, squarely facing the
Kansas POpulist. Il intend to pay nv
respects to his party before l finish.
He stood here yesterday when members
were voting him mileage, like Casa
blanca on the burning deck, whence
all but him had fed. But where were
his PopulisI colleagues? Every one of
them voted for the steal" He had
lost hope of the Popullst party when

Cruiser New York and Monitor
Mfantonomah Ordered to Get
Ready for Sea-Oficials Mys-
teriously Mum on the Question
Congress Will Adjourn To-
morrow for the Holidays.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-The navy
department has ordered the cruiser
New York and the monitor MiantonO-
NAH to get ready for sea. 1t is sup
posed they are 10 proceed to Rio, but
the navy department declines to give
definite information on this point. The
situation at Rio is admittedly growing
sufficiently serious to awaken appl chen
sions. 1t will require week to put
the Miantonomah i'll condition for sea.
The New York is to be docked today,
her bottom cleaned and painted, which
has not been done since her trial. Some
impatience is displayed at the depart
ment at The New I York not being ready
for sea. 1t is definitely stated that she
has no orders as yet to proceed TO Rio.
As to the Miantonomah nothing so def
mite is stated. Secretary Herbert this
afternoon declined to say what was to
be the future movement of the New
York and The Miantonomah when they
shall have been made ready for sea.
The ordering of the San Fran
cisco TO Rio, with Admiral Ben
ham on board, puts that officer in
force there. Secretary Herbert said in
reply to query that this was not to be
construed as decision of the Stanton
case, and that the order was not in
tended TO bear on that case. The de-
cision in the Stanton case. he said,
would very soon be given to the public.
Secretary Gresham was asked whether
1t was the intention of the United States
government to open possible blockade
at Rio Harber in the interest of Ameri-
can commerce. The only reply he
would consent to make was that he did
not understand that Rio was blockaded
port. In other quarters the reported
intention of the United States govern
ment to interfere should Mello attempt
to blockade the port of Rio is dis
credited.
The Kearsarge has been ordered from
New \ ork to San Domingo TO protect
American interests. A disturbance of
some sort has occurred there, but its
exact nature cannot be learned.

Henry PuetZ arrived in St. Paul yes
terday morning with S2l0 in his posses
sion. 1t is not Improbable that had he
been allowed to keep his money till
evening it would have been taken from
him by highwaymen. This, however.
was not the case. but lie was swindled
by three card monte sharks at noon out
OF all his cash, SO the result is practi-
cally the same. PuetZ was accosted
near the corner of Third aud Jackson
streets by one Of the numerous "steer-
ers" who IDfest the city and taken to
the Mascotte SALOON, at 13S East Seventh
street. Here he was swindled, or
rather robbed of his money in one of
the rooms in the rear of the saloon.
The police claim he was not robbed,
but lost his cash betting on card
game. According to their system
there is distinction between
the terms, but Puetz, who lacks
experience such as all detectives have,
fails to see any difference. A witness
10 the swindle states that PuetZ did not
bet on any game, but was taunted by
the gang with having no money. In
order to prove that lie did have he
flashed his roll" and it was grabbed
by one of the gang. Puetz was then
taken out OF the saloon by rear en-
trance, and the 'steerer," who went
with him, endeavored to lose him.
Puetz, however, would not be lost, and
when the fellow attempted to leave
i'm Of II IF frI,
streets, Puetz kept right at his heels.
The swindler started on run, but
Puetz followed suit, and at the same
time shouted stop that man." Down
Sibley street to Sixth ran the conf
dence man, with Puetz a length
or two behind. A crowd. at
tracted by the shouts of Puetz,
accompanied him in the chase, and had
there been a policeman within half
dozen blocks of the scene the fellow
might have been captured. AS it was,
he turned into an alley just east of the
Ryan hotel, and was lost to sight.
From man who was in the Mascotte
saloon at the time it was learned that
the "cOn; man entered the rear door of
the place, passed through and out the
front door. He walked to the corner of
Seventh and Robert streets and took
Grand avenue car while the sucker
and the crowd were searching the alley
for him. PuetZ finally found police
officer, and, after stating the facts to
him, was taken to the Office of Chief
Garvin. Up to midnight last night no
arrest had been made, although the
detectives were said to be working on
the case.
