When the President Has Anything to
VIII Not Do So Second-Hand.
TWO OFFICIAL STATEMENTS
CALLED FORTH ny rfORTON;s INTER-
VIEW ON THE SILVER CRAZE.
Latter Also in Hot Water in Regard
ers-Treasury Deficit Growing.

WASHINGTON, April 22.--The statement
which Secretary J. Sterling Morton gave to
the press last week Of his views on the
financial question has been interpreted by
the press very generally as an utterance
made on behalf of the President and ex-
pressing the Presidents attitude. This in
ference was based largely on the circum-
stance that Secretary Morton made public
his statement soon after his return from
the White House, where he had been in
conference with the President and men,
bers of the Cabinet at the regular Cabinet
meeting. The surmise, however, was proven
to-day to be incorrect by denials which
were made by both President Cleveland and
Secretary Morton. The Presidents state-
ment, which was given the Associated Press
by Private Secretary Thurber. follows:
THE President. when asked, this evening,
whether Secretary Morton's interview on the
money question might be regarded as rep
resenting his views, replied: Z am in no
manner responsible for Mr.. Morton's inter
view and know nothing OF it, only what I
read in the newspapers. When have seen
fit to say anything to the people on the
money question, or any other subject, 1
have, thus far. found it quite easy to do so
directly and on my own account -
Earlier in the day Secretary Morton, hav-
ing seen the same Interpretation put on
his interview, which had come under the
Presidents eye, stated that he wanted it
distinctly understood that in anything he
had said, whether on the subject of beef,
or affairs of the department, or on the mon
ey question, or any other public question,
he represented no one but himself, and had
given only his own views.
Both the President and the Secretary of
Agriculture spoke to-day without consulta-
not know when he made the statement that
the President intended to speak and it was
learned that the President had no knowl-
edge of Secretary Morton's action on the
matter when he dictated his own utter
ance thereon.

SUIT AGAINST RECEIVERS.
II. Il. Mcdonald Trying to Recover
$4,000 Worth of Bonds.

NEW YORK, April 22.-Justice Slower, in
the Special Term of the Supreme Court,
has commenced the hearing of a suit
brought by R. It. Mcdonald and the Fort
Wayne Electric Company against the re-
ceivers of the defunct Madison-square
Bank and the receiver of the defunct ST.
Nicholas Bank to recover possession of
bonds for $66000 of the st. Louis Electric
Light Company These bonds. the plaintiffs
claim, were a portion of several which had
been deposited with the Madison-square
Bank as collateral for $15O.ooO in the aggre-
gate which Mcdonald gave the Madison
square and ST. Nicholas banks for the
commodation of the Fort Wayne Electric
Company and which were in trust for that
company.
They claim that by the agreement with
the Madison-square Bank These bonds were
not to be used for any other purpose but
the Madison-square Bank turned over these
bonds to the st. Nicholas Bank as collateral
security for note for which the Madison
square Bank gave the st. Nicholas Bank
for certain Indebtedness. The plaintiffs de-
sire to get the bonds back. and allege that
they were not to be devoted to any other
purpose.
Ex-Mayor Hugh ]. Grant, the receiver of
the St Nicholas Bank, claims that he had
no knowledge of any arrangements which
were made of this nature. He says these
bonds were deposited with him as collateral
security to pay not only the Indebtedness
alleged by the plaintiffs, but all other in
debtedness that the Madison-square Bank
WAS liable for to the St. Nicholas Bank.

The first bout was between Alf Hanlon, of

less. Both men looked to be in good condi-
ton, and they were matched to box six
rounds. Tim Hurst refereed all the bouts.
In the first three rounds Maber held up his
reputation for cleverness, and in the third
round his superiority was very evident. He
simply played with Hanlon, and after land
ing strong left on the chin. easily out
pointed his man until the gong rang. They
mixed up in very lively way in the fourth
round. Maber had the better of the fifth
round. There was very little difference be-
tween the men when they finished the sixth
and last round. Maber's early efforts count
ed in his favor, and he was declared the
winner.
The next bout was between Jake Skeliy,
of Brooklyn. and Johnny German, of Long

The big event of the nights amusement

sixth both We're bleeding at the nose, and
in the succeeding rounds it was give and

THE DEFICIT is GROWING.
Intimation that Payment of Pensions
May BE DELAYED.

WASHINGTON, April 22.-The decision of
the Supreme Court in the income tax case
neccessitates rehearing of the estimates
of government receipts for the fiscal year
ending June 80, and from the best data OBJ
tainabTe it is believed that the deficit for
the year will probably amount to s40O00.0o0
The amount of deficit to date is $47, ,541
with indications of a further increase before
the close of the present month, but the in
come tax receipts, it is expected, will ma
terially cut down this amount during the re-
naming ten weeks of the. fiscal year.. Re-
ceipts from customs and from internal rev.
enue sources continue to increase, but not
at the pace expected, and with fully one
half of the anticipated receipts from the in
come tax cut off, it is doubtful if the close
of the year shows deficit less than $4o,-
100000. AS has been the case for some
years, the expenditure on account of pen
sions is more than a third of the entire ex-
penditures of the government, and several
times during the last two years the mex
orable acquisitions of the Secretary of the
Interior on the pension account has caused
some apprehension among the officials that
the time might come when they could not
be honored with the old time promptness.
Already this month more than Sll coo has
been paid to pensioners, and since July /
nearly 900 has been paid on the PEN
sion account.

THE INCOME TAX CASES.
No Decision of the Supreme Court on
the Motion for a Rehenring.

the Motion for n Rehearing.
WASHINGTON, April 22.-Contrary to
general expectations, the United States SUI
preme Court failed to-day to hand down
decision on the motion for rehearing
the income tax cases. The Chief Justice
announced that on Friday, the Sd of May,
the court would cease the call of cases
on the docket for the present term. The
two facts together are taken to mean def
initely that whatever the decision of the
court on the motion for a rehearing may
be the court has no expectation of
argument during the present term.
The most important case in which de-
cision was announced to-day was that of
Roberts and Ellis VS.. The Northern Pacific
Railroad Company, appealed from the Cir
cult Court of the Western district of Wis
consin. Justice Shiras announced the de-
cision of the court, affirming the judgment
title to lands which were donated to the
railroad company by Douglass county on
condition that the road should pursue a
certain route and make certain improve
ments on Lake Superior, which was done.
The land and the, improvements are now
afterward sold the lands to Roberts and
Ellis for $685., in view of decision of the
Supreme Court of Wisconsin that the coun-
ty could not donate its lands to a corpora
ton. The decision in the United States
Supreme Court holds that the transfer of
not donation, and also that the case was
not one for the State courts, in view of
the fact that the Northern Pacific road
was a national and not State corpora
ton.
More White-cap cases made their ap-
pearance in the court to-day, when w. c.
