TREASURY STATEMENT.

Washington. March 31.-The forth
coming monthly treasury statement will
show receipts during the month of March
of S26,041 ,149 as follows:
Customs. $13.344, 215: internal revenue
$11 ,536, 264: miscellaneous. 81, 1GO,66S.
For the nine months of the fiscal year
the receipts are substantially as follows:
Customs. $126,966, 300; internal rev.
enuc, S110,044, 143; miscellaneous. S13,-
239,396, making n total of $3.50, 69S, $40.
The deficit for the present month will
be about S1.3OOOOO. and for the nine
months, S1S.Sl9, IOS.
During the last few months neither
custom receipts nor those from internal
revenue sources have come up to eXpec-
tation and little Improvement is antici-
patcd in the near future. On November
80 last, when the latest departmental
estimates were prepared for congress, the
increase in the receipts from customs
during the five months of the fiscal year
over those for the same period in 1894
was about S12O00,0OO and a further in
crease was confidently expected.

WHY TT WAS DISAPPROyED.

Washington. March 30.-The letter of
Secretary Lamont TO General Hawley,
chairman of the committee on military
affairs. disappearing the bill to receive
the rank of lieutenant general in the
army. was made public today. The bill
was known as intended to confer the
rank on General Miles, now commanding
the army, though his name is not men
toned in the correspondence. Accom-
panying the letter are extracts from mill
tary records of Scott. Grant. Sherman,
Sheridan and Schofield, who became
lieutenant generals; also of General
Miles, Ruger and Merritt. who under the
bill would be eligible to the grade of lieu
tenant general. The secretary, after
acknowledging the receipt of the bill, says
that in no instance has an officer attain
ed this rank until he has successfully
commanded the whole or a separate army
in battle and active campaign.
The grade has been revived but always
with the objection of comforting compli-
mentary rank upon generals who had
rendered eminent and distinguished
services" or those most distinguished for
courage. skill and ability" in war.
Five besides Washington were thus
hOnored, of whom four had received the
thanks of congress by name for most dis
tinguished military service while the
fifth had commanded separate army
during the late war, had attained the
highest regular grade 80 years before his
promotion, had held the chief command of
the whole regular army for seven years
and had successfully discharged most
delicate and responsible civil duties.

TALKING UP SUGAR.

Washington, March 31.-Representa-
tives of the sugar growing interests of
the country made an appeal today to the
house ways and means committee for
legislation to protect them against the
advantages given to the German pro-
ducers by the German export bounties.
They asserted that the Germans are
taking advantage of the weakening of
the Cuban competition because of the
war to crush the industry in America
and complained bitterly of the failure of
the treasury to pay the bOunties autho-
rized by the last congress. Chairman
Dingley of the committee suggested that
the delegation should endeavor to prevail
upon the senate to recede from its atti-
tudc of opposition to tariff legislation.

SEXTON DISAPPEARED

Kansas City, March 30.-Warren B.
Sexton, general manager of the defunct
Sexton Security company. has disappear
ed. He left a letter addressed to his
brother, Edgar p. Sexton, vice president
OF the company, stating that several thou
sands of dollars Of the company's funds
which he had taken had been lost in
wheat gambling.
He took with him large sum of mon
ey that he had collected for different per
sons for whom he acted as rental agent.
The actual amount of his dcfalcation is
not known.
Five years ago Sexton invested $4,000
Of his mothers money in the investment
company. The company made great
splurge in the local financial circles and it
handled vast quantities Of other peoples
money. 1t failed last February with
Sloo,0lD liabilities and practically no as
sets. An examination Of the books shows
crooked entries made by Sexton to cover
up his shortages.
1t is believed Sexton is in California.

AS TO MADAGASCAR

Washington, March 31.-Whilc it can
not be learned that the United States has
yet joined with Great Britain in repre-
sensations to France respecting the set
ting aside by the latter of the treaties
Of commerce and amity that have existed
between them and the HOvas govern
mcnt Of Madagascar it is believed that
the matter is rapidly assuming n phase
that will call for some action by our gov
crnmcnt. Like Great Britain the United
States has treaty with the Hova gov
eminent that guarantees to our citizens
other nation. This means for one thing
that no greater duties shall be imposed
on goods imported into Madagascar. 1t
is the purpose of the French government
to remove this equality and reserve spe-
cial privileges for French merchants and
France has notified our state department
that by virtue of this assumption of con-
troll over the foreign relations of NADIA
gascar these treaties shall fall. If
France has annexed Madagascar,
or made it French colony, then
our government must admit her right to
abrogate treaties in this fashion, but it
is not certain that the present condition
on the island can be regarded as sufficient
to warrant the assumption of any such
right and it may be that before our gov
eminent will admit there must be some
much more definite explanation of the
scope of French authority in Madagas-
car and clear assumption of the re-
sponsiblity for the government of the
island. Our trade with Madagascar is
quite large.

4 REEF RIII.

Washington, March 31.-Charman
Wadsworth today reported favorably
from the house committee on agriculture
Il bill embodying coditication of the
laws under which the bureau of animal
industry is now working. Several
amendments are included among which
are provisions to prevent the infection of
railroad cars. extending inspection to all
kinds of meat instead of limiting it to
beef and pork. to compel exporters to
mark packages truly and also to prevent
the marking of horse meat as beef to
prevent the expectation of beef that has
not been inspected.
At present. although the law requires
the inspection of meat killed in this coun-
try. there is nothing to prevent the killing
and packing of meat in Canada and sell
ing in the United States without inspec-
ton.
