NO IMPROVEMENT.
Treasury Receipts for July, So
=, Far, Are No Better Than
To- 81 aSa-E for May.
NO NEED FOR EXTRA SESSION
Bond Syndicate Will Protect
49,. the Gold Reserve From
Withdrawals.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE treasury
receipts from customs and internal
revenue SO far during the month OF
June show no improvement over last
month, while the disbursements re-
main practically the same. The re-
ceipts from sugar importations are Apr-
prisingly low and the expected large
increase from whisky withdrawals has
not materialized. For the first half OF
the present month the receipts from
customs amount to $6,224,7 25 anil from
internal revenue s., 197,0 S5, rIaking
the total receipts from customs for the
eleven and a half months of the fiscal
year $l46, 843,687 and from internal
revenue sources $138, 1864, 1913. 3,he pres
ent deficit of as, 400, $50, however, is
likely to be reduced by cutting of ex-
penditures to about 50, 900, 600 for the
full fiscal year. Notwithstanding this
showing for the years operations there
is no expectation from any source of an
extra session of congress, or Of another
band issue before the regular meeting
in December. The gold reserve
amounts to about 500. 100000, with an
available cash balance Of nearly 1884,
000, 900, which
Ii Regarded a. Ample
to meet all ordinary demands. The
spirit Of confidence and security which
pervades the treasury department. at
this time is largely due to the provis.
ion in the last bond contract, obligat-
ing the syndicate to protect the gold
in the treasury from Withdrawals for
export. The ability of the syndicate
to carry out this provision has been
amply demonstrated during the last
several months, when the rate of ster-
ling exchange has ruled at times far
above the export point. This obliga-
ton cannot be discharged until Oct. l
next. At the present time the syndi-
cate owes the government about ST.
100000 on it's contract, and, while the
entire issue of bonds has been taken to
London, deliveries will be- made only
as fast as gold is deposited.

FACTS ABOUT SCHNeBELlTE.

A New and Powerful Explosive Whose
Manufacture Is Simple and Cheap.
The advantages of schnebelitc, the
new explosive, are thus enumerated by
the New Science Review: Its manu-
facture is simplicity itself; it is adapt
ed for all war, sporting and mining
purposes; it is almost smokcless, with
very slight recoil; it is not perma-
nently damaged by heat or wet; the
gun does not foul or become oxidized;
no noxious gases are produced from its
combustion: 1t is very cheap to make;
temperature of $40 degrees Fahren-
heit is required to produce a combus-
ton; when a lighted match is applied
to it in its unconfned state it simply
burns, no explosion being produced;
the pressure developed by the charge
of schnebelite, required to give the
normal velocity to the bullet fred from
q military rifle, is from 1000 to 1900
atmospheres, as compared with 1900 to
$500 atmospheres, the pressure devel-
oped by charges of other explosives
when the same velocity is impaired to
the bullet, and as compared with the
best dynamite its force is as So to IS,
or 20 per cent. greater, while it does
not pulverize the surrounding rock as
dynamite does. The inventors assert
that schnebelite can be manufactured
and sold at least so per cent. cheaper
than any other known explosive of
similar character. Its adoption by the
French government would, it is be-
lieved, result in saving of 100000
francs per annum."
