No Improvement in Customs
and Revenue Receipts.
DISBURSEMENTS ARE THE SAME
TIL. Present Deficit However, Is EN-
pected To BE Reduced by cutting
on Expenditures.

Washington, June lS.-The treasury
REGENTS from customs and internal rev.
enue SO far during June show an I'M
provement over last month, while the
disbursements are practically the same
The receipts from sugar 1mpOrtatlohs
are surprisingly low, and expected
large increases from whisky withdraw
ais have not materialized. For the
first half of tho present mouth tho re-
ceipts from customs amount to S6,@24,
725, and from internal revenues
$5.I97, OS5, making the total receipts
from customs for the IL l-2 months OF
the fiscal year STAG, 843,6 97, and from
internal revenue sources $l36, 9JI, 1853.
During the last five months receipts
from customs and internal revenue,
June being estimated were as follows,
the first figures indicating the Gus
toms:
January, $17316,916, $9,039, 964;
February, $13, ,69l, VS., $50, 400;
March, $l4, 929, 729, SO, $50, or; April,
$l2.453. 0SG, $40, 648, $50; May, $l2,-
474,55S, $40, 053; June, Sl3,OOO,-
600, %1I 900, 900; totals, $l53, 8, 862,
$142, 1910
The present deficit of S4S, 400, $50,
however, is likely to be reduced by cut
ting off expenditures about $5,OOO,0O0
for the full fiscal year NOTWITHSTANDING
ing this showing for the years opera
tions, there is no expectation from any
source of an extra session of congress
or another bond issue before the regular
meeting III December. Today the gold
reserve is about 500, 500, 600, with an
available cash balance of nearly SlS4,-
900, 600, which is regarded as ample to
meet all ordinary demands.
The spirit of confidence and security
which pervades the treasury depart
ment at this time is largely due to the
provision in the last bond contract
obliging 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 eX-
change has at times ruled far above the
export per cent. This obligation can
not be discharged until December next.
At the present time the syndicate owes
the government about 81, 500, 600 ON It's
contract. and while the entire issue of
bonds has been taken i'll London, de-
liveries will be made only as fast as
gold is deposited.

Delay in Tacoma Custom House.

Denver, June 14.-Otis Spencer, sur
veyor of customs, has stirred up the
custom house officials at Tacoma.
Goods shipped in bond through that
port to Denver have been invariably
taken in charge by the custom house
brokers of Tacoma and thus very much
delayed in the journey to Denver. The
claim was made that Denver had no
custom house. The matter was re-
ferred to the treasury department at
Washington, and the surveyor at Ia
coma was stirred to such an extent that
he wired Spencer that immediate
transportation would be accepted in
the future.

San Francisco, June l5.-RObert
Gonzales, mess boy of the lost Coli.
ma, who arrived here last night on the
Colon, i'll company with Fred johnson,
sailor, gives vivid description of
the fight for life made by the helpless
women and children when the ship
went down.
when the boat began to rock and
roll, the passengers in the steerage did
not seem to think much was the mat
ter. The rolling of the ship becan9
more violent, and after a while this
boatswain came to the cOmpanionway
and told us to get out. Even then the
passengers did not seem to understand
that anything was serious and went out
slowly. | saw two or three of them
go to the companionway and come
back, but | did not know why, at that
time. AS the boat continued to roll,
and the water began pouring in, | ran
to the ladder leading to the deck and
started to get up, After | had reached
the middle of the ladder, | saw why the
others had come back. They could not
get out. The lumber and other stuff
on the deck had shifted to such an ex-
tent that the companionway hatch was
covered up. They were like rats in
barrel. They could not get out, and
had to wait there until the water came
III on them. Being familiar with the
ship | ran through the kitchen and
crawled up the dummy. waiter to the
pantry above. From there made my
way into the main cabin, which then
contained two or three feet of water. |
passed through the cabin and saw
women trying to get upstairs through
the matches, but the water kept some
of them from leaving their staterooms
and others were unable to get up the
stairs on account of the stuff that coy
cred the openings on deck.
1--WE tried to save the two women ~
the boat with us, but when she cap
sized we had to scramble for ourselves.
The last | saw of them they were cling
ing to an empty bucket, which held
them up only a second and they went
down without cry or struggle.

Santa Rosa, Cal, June 14.-It is re-
ported here today that the famous
Durrant murder case may be tried in
the superior court here. 1t is rumored
that change of venue from the San
Francisco superior court will be asked
for on the ground that the publicity
given the case there makes it almost
impossible to secure an impartial jury.
If the case is tried here it will not be
the first time that important cases have
been transferred from San Fracisco to
Sonoma county. The famous Cotton
railway case, the most voluminOus in
the history of the state, was tried here,
as was also the famous Morrow bribery
case.

nor, when seen, today, was thoroughly
determined to prevent prize fight at all
hazards. He said that the action ,f the
circuit judge and sheriff of Garland
county made it a matter of state concern
and rendered him primarily responsible for
its suppression.
he was still hopeful that those in charge
of the prize fighting enterprise would
abandon all further attempt to bring ii
about here. If this did not prove the case.
their efforts could only be interpreted to
mean that they intended to resist with
force the efforts of the officers to prevent
it.
In this aspect of affairs the prize fight
would drop out of Wow and the confess
would be between the power of the state
and the invading forces of the prize fight
ing contingent The Governor had no
doubt of the result of conflict between
these The authority of the dignity of the
state, he thought, would be maintained
If the prize fight took place, in spite of
the efforts of the officers and people. the
Governor said he would resign bis offices
in the future and leave the enforcement of
the laws and resistance to invasion to
more competent hands.
