Deem Water at Savannah

From the Albany IN. " Times-Union.
The Savannah News announces that
vessels drawing "a feet of water are now
loading at the wharves at that city a
depth of rs feet mean high water having
been secured by the recent dredging of the
channel of the Savannah river. The News
says that the channel is about 200 feet
wide in the narrowest part, and the work
still remaining to be done is TO dress 1t up
and give it more width in certain places.
While a width of 200 feet is sufficient to
accommodate any vessel, 1t is desired to
give ample room, and for this reason the
width IN some places will be considerably
increased.

BIG DEFICIT
UNCLE SANS TREASURY is OVER
FORTY MILLIONS SHY.

Washington, June 3.-Treasury off,
Gals are now confident that the close of
the fiscal year one month hence. will
show deficit of not more than $44, 000,-
600 and possibly not more than $4,000. 900
which is at least $5,Oo0.O 900 less than was
predicted only a few weeks ago, and 3d.
100000 or 100000 less than the present
figures. 1t is shown that the pension
payments during June will be at least
S2,500.000 less than for May, and that the
payments on account interest will also
be reduced $780, 900. With an increase
from internal revenue of $4,000 900 on ac-
count of receipts from special liquor, to-
bacco and oleomargarine licenses, which
must be paid before July l, and very ma
terial reductions in pension and interest
payments, it is confidently expected that
the month will show small surplus.
with the deficit further reduced to at
least $4,000 900.
The month of July however is likely to
see the deficit increased by at least $780,
100000, as that months interest pay
ments will aggregate about $1,000. 1000.
Disbursements in every branch of the
government are usually much heavier
in July than in any other months, SO
that without the receipts are greatly in
creased, the deficit of Aug. l, next. will
not likely fall much short OF $55, 0O0, 600
for the thirteen months.
