REPORT OF TREASURER MORGAN.

Five Million Dollars.

Five Million Dollars.
Washington. Nov. 3o.-The annual re-
port of Daniel n. Morgan. treasurer of
the United States, shows the net ordi-
nary revenues of the government dur
ing the fiscal year ended June so, 1896.
to have been 1926, 976, 200 and the expen-
ditures $352. LIS. 446. leaving a deficiency
for the year of SIS. 20S. 246. or 81, 601, s77
less than during the preceding fiscal
year. The report shows that during the
last fiscal year there was an increase
of $7.S6S. 134 in the receipts from GUS
toms, So. "a, 1872 from internal revenue
sources and s2.479.622 from miscellan-
eous sources. and loss of $97. 1923 from
the sale of public lands. making the net
increase in the receipts $13.5s6,125. The
decrease in the expeditures amounted
to $4,015,s 52.
After giving in detail theamounts
realized from the different sales of
bonds, the total amount of bonds being
1862 ,315, 400 and the total receipts 1924.
164. 295, he proceeds: while the cash
balance in the treasury has afforded q
comfortable working fund, and would
have done SO without augmentation
from loans, the gold reserve has been
the cause of much concern, and has
been maintained only at the cost of a
fresh issue of bonds and by the volun-
tary contributions Of banks and finan-
cial institutions. With the execution of
a brief period in the autumn of 1895 and
another in the spring Of 1896 the ruling
rates Of foreign exchange were such
throughout the year as to permit, IL not
require, the export Of gold. The move
ment began in volume the first week in
August and continued with a short in.
terruption till toward the end of Jam
uary.
at first the demands upon the treas
ury for gold were limited to the wants
Of exporters, but in December consider
able Withdrawals began to be made
by others. the amount increasing dur
ing January and rising in February,
when heavy payments were made into
the treasury for bonds. to nearly $20,.
Oo0. 900 fer the month. Under this drain
the reserve gradually sank until Feb.
10. 1896, when it stood at $A. 5e3, 49,
1t was then rapidly built up from the
proceeds Of the sale OF bonds and
rose to $12S, 713.s09 by March 81. After
inconsiderable variations in the reserve
during April the export OF gold was
resumed on May 1. and this movement,
together with the continued withdraw.

out to be of little account with that
team.
There has been innumerable other
deals involving great sums of money,
but none that was equal to those
already quoted. The purchase of the
Big Four" from the Buffalos by De-
troit caused a sensation, but 1T Is doubt
full II the money involved was as great
in proportion as in other deals. The
four consisted Of White, Rowe, Brouth-
ers and Richardson. Then there was
another deal that was widely discussed
at the time. It occurred in 1889, Bos-
ton buying the releases of four Of the
best men In the country at the time
Brouthers, Richardson, Bennett and
CAMEL At about the same time Brook
lyn bought Collins from Louisville for
a large sum, the Athletics purchased
the release OF Cross and there were
other deals for Louisville players. But
none Of these deals involved as high
q sum as $4,000 for any one player.
OTHER BIG DEALS.
Among the other base ball deals that
stand out prominently as instances Of
bis money paid for players are the pur-
chases Of Herman Long and Willie
Hutchinson, Boston paid Kansas City
$4,O0O for the former, and Chicago Sc
cured the latter from the Des Moines
team for the same amount. About
three years ago the New York manage
ment gave, it was said, the Washing
ton team 10000 for the release Of
Meekin and Farrell, crack battery,
but the amount Of the purchase money
was never verified.
AS late as last year there threatened
to be number of deals that involved
big sums. The Chicago team was after
a good second baseman early in the
season, and made two offers Of $40, 900
in good faith, one for Clarence Cupid"
Childs, Of the Clevelands, and one for
Bid McPhee, of the Cincinnatis. At
the same time the Chicago manage
ment offered $4,000 for the release of
Cyrus Young, the crack pitcher Of the
Clevelands. AS an offset to these Of
fers, offers of $4,000 were made for
two Of the Chicago players. The New
Yorks wanted Dahlen and LANCE, and
were willing to pay $4,000 for either.
The New Yorks wanted LANCE under
two different arrangements, Eddie Tai
colt and Andrew Freedman both maxi
ing offers for him. Besides New York
other teams made the same bid for
LANCE, and one other club wanted
Dahlen at the standard beauty" price,
