Receipts Than Expenditures.
WASHINGTON, Feb. i.--The letter of
Secretary Carlisle was submitted To tho
senate in answer to n recently submitted
resolution asking for certain information
regarding finances. The secretary esii-
mates that the revenues of the govern
ment from all sources for the year ending
Dec. 81, 1895, will exceed the expenditures
by over So, 100000. Action on the letter
went over at the request of Aldrich. The

The reading of the letter was closely
followed by the senate. Mcpherson

spect il. Then Aldrich sent for it. and n
group of republican senators gathered
about him and read II over his shoulders.

Villas of Wisconsin. from the judiciary
committee, favorably reported bill re-
tiring Justice Howell Jackson from the

ing on the interstate commerce commits
sion to furnish information as to contracts
between the Canadian Pacific Railroad
company and the American lines. by
which the former refrained from COM
pct.ng in freight and trallic in certain
localities. The senate then resumed con-
sideration of the District of Columbia

journed.
The treasury officials generally express
the opinion that Secretary C6riisle's esti-
mate of surplus of So 600 for the
calendar year 1895 is conservative. The
secretary urged that the customs duties
on sugar alone should bring in at least
SIS, 10000 during the mex, IL months, and
that the revenue from the income tax is
liable to reach the sum OF so, 10000. The
receipts from the general customs and
whiskey Withdrawals are expected TO ma
terially increase from now on. which il is
believed will bring the receipts for the u
months up TO about S3S1.5)0.OO). The dis
bursements for the year, II is thought,
Will not exceed S35l ,0O), 900. leaving n sur
plus. after deducsing the 100000 deficc
for January Of 22.5)0.O0O.

ury department to-day that was quite in
contrast with the anxious looks and
hurried movements of the officials last
week. Secretary Carlisle was in his Office
and saw all comers, which he has been
unable 10 do for some time past. In
