TIE deficit for the fiscal year
which ended last Sunday is in the
neighborhood of fifty million dollars.
This is large shortage, but it Is
twenty million dollars less than it
was a year ago, and it will probably
shrink from this time forward. The
expenditures may not be materially
lessened, but the revenues show
signs of increasing. In any event
no more bond sales will have to be
made. The government will be
spared this embarrassment, and the
country this humiliation for the
near future.

PORCELAIN PAYS DUTY.
Decision of Appraisers on Imp orta-
tions of Goods Claimed as
Free Under the Law.

Declsiou OF Appraisers on imp orta-
tions of Goods Claimed as
Free Under the Law.
New YORK, Aug. 3.-The board
OF United States general appraisers
has rendered decision denying
the appeal Of Bour & Boulllon, i'm.
porters, Ia regard to the free entry
Of artistic porcelain, and declared
the porcelain to be subject to a
duty of 80 per cent. Though the
value Of the importation is not
large, the case is an important one,
as there are 80 cases hanging on
the decision. The goods were i'm
ported in Sept, 1894, and were en-
tered as 6S paintings on rectangu-
lar and oval shaped pieces Of
porcelain. The collector classified
and assessed the goods under para
graph IS, Of the present tariff
law, which reads as follows:
China and porcelain, including
plaques, painted, tinted, enamelled
or otherwise decorated in any man
ner are subject to a duty OF 30 per
cent. The importers demurred and
claimed that the goods should be
classed on the free list as "paint-
ings in oil or water colors, original
drawings and sketches, artists
proofs, etchings and engravings,
provided for in this act Free" and
further declare the word painting,
as used in the act, shall not be un-
derstood to include such as might
wholly or in part be stencil or other
mechanical process. Ex-Judge
Somerville, who handed in the de-
cision with the concurrence Of the
board, held that pictures in ques-
tion were not pictures in oil or
water colors of the kind described
in paragraph 95, as being exempt
from duty. There were expert art
lists and decorators skilled in the

guilty man was Funolli's brother,
who had a grudge against the
murdered man. Efforts for par
don were commenced in May 1894,
and in the due course OF time the
brother was heard from and ad.
mitted his guilt. The innocent

MEMPHIS, Aug. 3.-The publica-
tion Of the Little Rock dispatch, re-
lating the fact OF President E. H.
R. Green, OF the Texas Midland,
being in that city with the avowed
object of inspecting the Little
Rock and Memphis railroad with
view to purchasing it and con-
structing its extension to Paris,
Texas, to which point the Midland
is now building, resulted in the
story of Col. A. M. Billings con-
nectiop with the deal, which has
been known in this city for several
weeks, being given to the public.
Col. Billings, the Chicago million.
aire, who is practically the owner Of
the Memphis system Of street rail-
way, is working in common with
the Green interests, but publicity
was not given to 1t for reasons ad-
vanced by MIR. Billings himself.
He and Mrs. Green are figuring on
the purchase OF the Little Rock
road when it shall go to sale on
October 18th, and there is a
possibility that they will Sc.
cure it before that time, IL
the desired deal with the bond
holders can be made. Col Billings
held a consultation with Mrs.
Green in New York recently rela-
tive to the purchase and at that
time she looked upon it with great
favor. Both were desirious, how.
ever, OF becoming more familiar
with the probable earning capacity
of the line when extended, and it
was for that reason chiefly that
Mr.. Billings came to Memphis
last week. When he was here
several weeks ago he first seriously
considered the idea OF buying the
property, and at that time asked
Receiver Fink for full statistics,
setting forth all the facts Of the
costs and the earnings Of the road.
These were furnished but recently,
and with these, together with pro-
files Of two surveys for the extern
sion of the road to the southwest,
he has gone to Bellows Falls, VT,
where he will have another con-
sultation with Mrs. Green.
There is little doubt that the
Little Rock and Memphis road
with the proposed extensions,
would prove handsomely paying
J piece of property, as it would then
penetrate the richest section of Ar.
kansas and form perhaps the most
direct route from Memphis to the
southwest. In addition to the line
from Little Rock to Paris, Texas,
it is also proposed to build line
to Wister Junction on the line oil
the st. Louis and San Francisco
one Of the great roads on the Santa
Fee system.

drowned while venturing into the
pit to warn his comrades Of their
danger. There is scene OF in

surface in a most exhausted condi-

man who was carrying a brother
who had become too much ex-

any Roadway with his burden. He
was finally forced to put his
brother down and proceed alone.
