The Criminal Courts.

1t had been expected that upon the ad-
journment Of the criminal courts for the
June term that there would be no cases
tried in those courts until next September.
1t was practically determined today. how
ever. to hold court in one or both Of the
Criminal Courts during next month. This
was done upon the representation Of Dis
trict Attorney Birney that 1t would be i'm
possible to clear up the criminal docket
this month. even though IL Is proposed,
commencing tomorrow, to hear criminal
cases In both branches of the Criminal
Court. During the past month or so Judge
Cole, In Criminal Court No. 1, has heard
civil causes. He will tom orrow hear the
Leon murder trial, and II Is understood
that he will call no more civil causes this
summer 1t is not proposed to run both
Criminal Courts all through July. for 1t Is
believed that the criminal cases ready for
trial can be disposed Of much earlier than
the 1st Of August One of the two courts
will, however, be kept in readiness for any
emergency cases which may arise during
next month.

TREASURY DEFICIENCY
For the Fiscal Year Not Expected to E1.

EncouragiDg Increase I'm the Gold
Recefpts-NO New Issue of Bonds
Looked For.

1t IL predicted by treasury officials that
the total deficit for the present fiscal year
will not exceed SIS OOO, 900. The progress
made on the tariff bill during the last few
days has encouraged the belief at the de-
partment that 1t will soon become a law,
and IN that case treasury experts are con-
hdent there will be no necessity for another
be md issue. They argue that as soon as
In porters know what duties they will be re-
qured to pay they will at once place their
orders that have been held during the last
several months pending the tariff settle
ment. A large increase in the receipts
from Internal revenue Is expected also.
Owners of spirits now in bond, It ia con-
tended. can better afford to pay even q veiy
high rate of interest and take their goods
from bond, than to wait until the law goes
into effect and pay the higher tax conteln-
plated by the bill as it now stands. Alto
gether, the situation Is not regarded as at
all alarming. and there is no serious
thought Of another bond issue.
Gold Received.
Recent reports of customs receipts at the
port Of New York show a very encouraging
increase in the amount Of gold coin receiv.
ed. On May 81 the amount Of gold re-
ceived In payment Of customs duties was
only 2.3 per cent of the whole. Ten days
later this had been reduced to OIL per
cent Last Thursday receipts, however,
showed an increase to 81 per cent while
Fridays receipts showed that liza per
cent Of the whole was paid in gold.
This Is the highest percentage received
since February 10. 1894. All during June
OF last year not one dollar in gold
was received at New York for customs, and
not until July 81 did the percentage reach
todey's figures This exceptional increas Sc
In the gold payments seems to indicate that
small notes are growing in demand, and
that silver certificates or any other paper
money Is becoming more desirable than
gold coin.
In order to meet the demand for notes of
small denominations coming from all parts
OF the country for use in the annual move
ment of the crops. the United States treas.
urer has issued the following circular letter:
