be found by tomorrow's S debt statement
to be approximately S43. $50, ,000 This,
added to last years deficit Of nearly $70.-

lures over receipts since June S0 1893,
about $113,250,000 The total receipts of

sive of postal revenues. amount to near
ly 1S.000,000 and the expenditures
1856 900, of which pensions took $141.-
3Sl, ,523. Last year the aggregate re-
ceipts of the postal revenues were S297,-

27S,000 larger than last, and the ex-
penditures about 1925, coo less. The
postal service deficit is about $l1 ,000, 900.
which is considerably in excess of that
of any recent year.
The internal revenue department OF
the government has contributed this
year to the receipts nearly $143, 900 900,
as against a little more than STAT 900 O00
last year. The customs make a better
showing than last year by about $21 ,000,-
900. Last year the receipts from this
and this year they approximate $153, ,O00,-
about 1850 900. The imports for the

the 40 per cent ad valorem duty has
been collected amounted to about 49,

was cane sugar and the remainder beet.

an available cash. balance of about $780,
000,0 900, of which about s107, 500, 900 is gold
reserve. This reserve will include pay
ment in full for the last bond issue. but
