Rapid Depletion Of the Reserve
in the Treasury.
NO IMPROVEMENT N RECEIPTS.
A Lively Contest Expected Over the
Sugar Tariff Schedule. :


wAsHrsarox err. May H.-Ths pres
ens depleted conditisn OF the treasury and
the discouraging outlook for the future
are = source of much anxiety 70 the on
cials Of the treasury department. Already
the gold reserve, which vas brought up
by the last bond issue 20 $lo7. 81, 81, has
been reduced by experts since March 10 TO
less than $50. .0Ol. 000. with no indications
that the foreign demand will cease until il
has reached . much lower point With
the exception Of the gold reserve, and
counting every available dollar in the
vaults. the treasury today has less than
$50. 600 With which to meet iis obliga-
items.
Nor does the future show any signs Of
encouragement On the contrary. the
probabilities are that the deficit of $780,
600 for the month Of May is likely to be
increased BY SIS. 600. 0oO during the two
succeeding months The closest ealcula-
sion that can now be made shows that the
deficit for the fiscal year ended June 80
will Be approximately "a SOC. 600. A close
estimate places the receipts for May at
81 5O0, 600 and the disbursements at
SIS. 500, 600. For June the receipts are
likely to be about ~. .0o0. 600, with the ex-
pendisures 81. 10000, making the total
receipts for the fiscal year sol, ,509. 748. and
the disbursements &365 Isl. i97. While it
is confidently believed the receipts for
July will increase somewhat. yet it il much
more certain that the disbursements will
increase. A conservative estimate Of the
deficit for July il 81. 4o0. .0OO this increase
being accounted for by the payment Of
many obligations. ncluding about $780,
900 in interest that natures at the begin
ming Of the fiscal year. During June the
pension payments will amount to abont
SO. 500. 900, and during the future year to

Lewis Arrants is in Jail at Elizabeth
ton and Jas. A. Martin has found out
who stole his cfoss-cut saw. Nat
Williams suspected that his shotgun
was concealed about Arrant's house,
and had Chief Remine to institute
search. The shotgun was not found,
but an oil can was discovered which
belonged to Robertson & Co., and it
began the unraveling CT bad looking
ball for Lewis.
A stray coat and vest which was
once the property Of Will Martin, was
also found.
James Martin had offered So reward
for the saw, and about this time Jake
Payne, at Milligan, reported that he
had bought such saw, and also saw
GUNNER, from Lewis Arrants. The
saw GUNNER belonged to Robertson
& Co. g mill, where Arrants was night

He was arrested last Friday ON the

The Son of a Gun.

Will Cannon, a young burglar who
is remembered by some OF our people,
has, for few weeks, been reveling in
crime and making sensational escapes.
Officers from Messy Greek have been
following him for some time through
several counties, and captured him
twice, but each time they were unable
to hold the slick rascal The officers
had no trouble in following him as
he kept right on burglarizing in the
counties through which he passed.
He has served term in the pen for
horse stealing, and has committed
numerous burglaries in Tennessee
and North Carolina, and is a remarka-
BILE fellow. His latest bizarre was his
escape from the train while under ar
rest at Bristol Saturday. He was
handcuffed, but that did not prevent
the daring, desperate fellow from
jumping through the car window and
escaping as the train was leaving
Bristol. He has been seen several
times since in Virginia-once before
he had freed himself from the hand
cuffs. He married in this county, and
committed several burglaries here be-
fore he went on the road to create
such sensation.
