WASHINGTON June @.-Ihe state
ment is made to-day from an authorita-

made by the administration during the

retary Carlisle are In thorough accord
on the financial policy OF the treasury,
and that the end Of gold exports 10 Eu-

administration expects the new .ariff bill
to 20 into effect by August lst and after
that date increased revenues are looked
fOr
During July the expenditures win proba-
bly, exceed the receipts by Sl0,OD,OO which
win reduce the available Treasury bal
ance to about $l0JG0000. The present
outlook is that by deferring everything
but absolutely essential payments the
Treasury deficit for the current fiscal
year, which closes Saturday, June Both,

THE HEAVY RAINS.

TeXarkana and surrounding Coun-
try was visited by a heavy rain fall
last night, the heaviest experienced
in this section for several years.
The creeks, branches and low
places, lying in and near the city,
presented the appearance of an
impossible water way" to the
gaze of incoming milkmen, vegeta-
bic peddlers, etc, as they paused,
in astonishment, on the banks of
this newly swollen stream and gazed
wistfully at the vista Of customers
houses, appearing in the distance,
"ou the other side.
In "Swamppoodle" the effect was
even more noticeable, There where
the accumulated filth of years, from
every species Of humpn, animal and
vegetable refuse, has been permit
ted to accumulate, the miniature
deluge appeared in the light of d
blessing, washing and sweeping
away some of the reeking odors,
so offensive no uninitiated olfacto-
ries.
The stretch of low land lying be
tween Spruce street and Rose Hill,
resembled a sluggish river, bank
full, of exceedingly muddy
water. Rehkopf's mattress factory
was converted into a wooden

Indeed the entire fiat, as far as the
eye could reach presented a scene
of "wattery waste"
