What Passed Between Them.

Two men of more or less bibulosity
who had always been friends got into q
row one night which ended in one get
ting pretty badly battered and the other
being arrested for assault and battery.
On the trial one of the attorneys was
quite anxious to know why two such
friends had got into such trouble
"Will you state just how the diff
Guilty originated" he inquired of the
one on the stand.
The witness told very much involv-
ed story.
THAT isn't what I want to know, -
said the attorney sharply.
The witness made another try.
THAT'S no clearer than the other, "
objected the attorney. Cant you tell
just what passed between you and moth
ing more?"
The face of the witness showed a
light in it.
"Oh," he said, sis that what you
want to know"
"Of course it is. Tell that and nc
more.
"Well, as near as I can remember,
there were 10 beers, four whistles, two
Gin fzzes, two Manhats, one brandy
and one vermouth, one bottle Of cham
pagne''--.
''That's enough, " interrupted the at
torney. ''All the rest is easily explain
ed now. "--Detroit Free Press.

Counterfeits In PhigatleInhia.

More counterfeit money is said to be
In circulation in Philadelphia now than
ever before. Among the counterfeits is
a dollar silver certificate marked 'Plate
No. 49," The check letter is A, series
of 1891. Another bogus 81 dollar note
has the check letter B, series of 1886.
Other counterfeit 81 bills that are afloat
in great quantities contain the check
letter D, series of 1891. A bogus So
note is also very well executed. 1t has
the check letter A, series of 1886.
These counterfeits have been scattered
around in profusion. Others Of larger
denominations have lately made then
appearance. One is a rather carelessly
executed So note series Of 1880, letter
D. Another note for the same denomi-
nation has the check letter D, series OF
1886.
Bogus small coin is to be met with on
all hands. Quarters and half dollars are
the counterfeits, which are cleverly made
and are detected by the shoplzeepers only
by ringing on a glass, metallic or mar
BILE surface. -Philadelphia Press.

NATIONAL FINANCES.


versally discussed IN these dreary days
of financial depression it is the question
of finance, and hence special interest
gathers about the official statement OF
the government treasury.
In the government the fiscal year runs
from July 1st instead OF January LIST, and
old appropriations expire and new ones
begin July 1st in all the governmental de-
partments. The treasury report for the
fiscal year just ended, in view of the
great financial depression which has
overshadowed the country, possesses I'M
usual interest, and merits examination
In the Outlook of July DIST it is thus in
diligently and plainly synopszed:
The debt Of the United States now
amounts to nearly 5000, ,O00--an in
crease of about $50 100000 as against the
corresponding date last year, and, since
1865. the first increase in the net debt.
The $50, 900, 900 issue of bonds last Feb
ruary will not be forgotten. Nearly two
thirds of our debt is in interest-bearing
bonds. The treasury's net gold stands
a. almost S65, 100000 recovery of
nearly So, 100000 from last month, when
the departments stock of metal touch
ed the lowest point since the resumption
of specie payments, but decrease of
over $50, 100000 compared with the be-
ginning of the fiscal year. Net silver in
the treasury is now about $51 600, 00O-
an increase of $25, 100000 from a year
ago. The net cash balance is over $52,-
900 O0O-an increase of $26, 000,00 Gov
eminent receipts were about 1927 ,000,-
O0O the smallest since 10, and shows
falling off of almost $89,0OO,0OO, the
greater part of this ($71 100000 being
in the custom revenue. These figures
are significant of the conditions under
which we have been trying to live. The
years expenditures were over 1866, 600
coo. Though $1,000, 900 has been saved
from the previous years expenses by the
result of the twelve months economy,
the total is still about $1OO,000,000 larger
than for that year. This economy, as
we'll as the extravaganza of recent years,
is almost wholly due to pension payments.
The excess of expenditures over receipts
for the year just ended is just close up,
on $70,5OO, 900. A like amount repre-
sents the net increase of all kinds of
money in circulation, the per capita cir
culation now standing at the late of S24.-
$40 cents more than on July l, 1893
The total amount of money in circulation
in the United States is 81 ,661, 900, 00G, of
which gold (coin and certificates
represents 1854, 900, 900, and silver (clin,
certificates and treasury notes. $571,

STILL HOLDING OUT.

The conferees on the tariff bill reached
no agreement yesterday on any OF the
points of difference between the house
and senate. AS far as the public knows
the senate conferees were as stubborn as
thew were when the bill first reached the
conference committee, and the house
conferees were as firm as ever in insist
ING upon the bill as it passed the house.
1t is pretty certain that there Will be
no more asking for instructions. The
copferees will reach an agreement that
both houses will accept, even If they
have to remain in conference until next
winter.
Both the house and senate will indi-
cate a willingness to make concessions
before many days if the c0nferees make
no progress toward an agreement. The
members of the house are anxious to get
home and, begin campaign work, and the
plans of the senators for the summer are
being greatly interfered with. There
will have to be changes IN the bill. The
house cannot have all it wants and the
senate will have to recede from the posi-
ton announced by Senator German,
namely. the senate bill or no bill. Much
of the talk about the house and senate
standing firm for their respective bills is
mere bluff. Before the end of this week
there will be a different kind of talk.
When the bill went back to the confer
ence committee il was with the tacit
understanding thatthe conference should
make changes and that the changes
would be accepted. News.

GeneraIIy ftLooks BETTER.

NEW YORK, April I3 3--Bradstreet's review OF
trade tomorrow will say: The western cities
usually reported more favorable business features
this week. AT Chcsgo the rush OF spring trade is
over although orders for dry goods hold out WELL
notably for cotton dress goods Trade In shoes
ana hardware has decreased. Unfayorable
weather has restricted sales of millinery, dry
goods, clothing, carpets and drugs at st. Louis
but manufacturers o. shoes report trade as active
as previously. business at Kansas City appears
quite regular. At Omaha business is on greater
basis than during March, hardware being es-
pecIaIly more active. At San Fran cisco Jotbers
report merchandise moving more freely. and
better feeling is noted. Extreme heat, with north
winds, reported 10 have seriously damaged
growing wheat In Southern California and in The
Western valley
Prices OF wheat, steel, iron. cattle, cotton and
corn are all lower, the extreme drop IN wheat be-
ing occasioned largely by extraordinarily heavy
receipts, based in part on the report that the
wheat crop is less damaged by the recent cold
weather than at first reported. Prices of iron.
West and East, have been further sealed due TO
cutting OF railway rates and competition between
furnaces.
Oats have advanced IL, pork so cents. lard IA
cents, while sugar and print cloths remain un-
changed.
The Industrial situation is more complicated
and less encouraging There is prospect OF
widespread strike OF coalminers and others this
month, with probability OF further strikes and
