WASHINGTON, April 26.-The treas
4y deficit for the fiscal year ending
Jlne 30, 1896, will be approximately s25.-
100000. This is the opinion of officials
aid others best qualified to make an in
teligent estimate of the results of the
hsal operations of the year. In his
annual estimates sent to congress at
TN beginning of the annual session the
secretary Of the treasury estimated the
recipts from customs during the fiscal
yea at s172,000, 900. So far, with near
~ IN months Of the year gone, the GUS

Oeo'v0. Up to this time they have reach
eo 12o.0O0.000. and it is expected the
ngues for the completed year will be
abot $146, 100000. The receipts from
miscellaneous sources are expected to
ssngFly exceed the estimates Of SIS, ,OGO,-

IP secretary's estimate of the years

elegation to the st. Louis convention.

delegation to the st. Louis convention.
The Chronicle says its researches show
that a large majority of the Republicans
Of California are for the nomination of
ex-Gov. Mckinley and deem it advisa-
BILE to send a delegation to the national
convention pledged to his support. The
gist of the interviews obtained by the
Chronicle is contained in the statement
Of James A. Waymire, which follows:
II am in favor of instructing our del
egation to vote for Mckinley for pres
ident, not first, last, and all the time,
but as the choice Of California, and leav-
ing it to their discretion to change when
they find there is no reasonable hope
Of success. There is no other safe way
Of enabling the Republicans Of the state
to make known their wishes. Mckinley
is the only candidate who has ever de-
veloped national trength. Already 430
votes have been secured by instructions
for the first ballot-votes coming from
thirty-one states. He is certain to have
votes from all the states. except three
or four, and more than a third Of the
states will send instructed delegates for
him. At present the indications are
that he will have 606 votes on the first
ballot, enough to nominate him without
California.
"California now has an opportunity
by instructing her delegates for Nc
Kinley to ensure his nomination and
thus get the credit of ending the con-
test. Here is telegram just received
from M. A. Hanna, who is leading the
Mckinley movement and is better in
formed on the subject than anyone else:
CLEVELAND, April 26-Hon. J.
A. Waymire San Francisco: Seven hun
dred delegates have been chosen. Nc
Kinley has about 43o, and by May 1st
will have 450.'
Now there will be 922 delegates to
the national convention, of which 462
will be necessary to nominate. McKin-
ley will have 450 when our convention
meets on May 5th. Our s votes will
make up the majority with six to spare.
We can thus put ourselves in a position
to claim the honor of nominating the
next president
Il know Gov. Mckinley will give this
coast representation in the cabinet. He
said 1t should always be represented
there; that it was not good politics to do
therwise, and not just to the important
interests of this great and rapidly de-
veloping section of the country which
by reason of its vast distance from the
capital is not sufficiently in touch with
the government. Let us trust him in
this as we are willing to do in the more
important subject of the tariff"

An Indian Territory Druggist Now Wishes

ARDMORE, 1T, April 2e.-Miss Lau-
ra White has created sensation here
by publicly horsewhipping Prof. Lynn,
a druggist, because he had charged her
with theft Miss White. who is an or
phan, boarded with the Lynns.
VIn closing his establishment for the
night, Lynn took the contents of the
cash drawer, $210, home and placed it
under his pillow. He forgot the money
next morning and when he made a
search for it later in the day could not
find 1t. He had a warrant issued and
caused Miss White. as we'll as her trunk,
to be searched. The money was not
found.
About o'clock in the afternoon Miss
White, accompanied by a lady friend.
borrowed a horsewhip and proceeded
up Main street. Reaching the drug
store she seized Lynn by the arm with
one hand and proceeded to vigorously
ply the whip. Three stunning blows
were administered before friends could
interfere and stop the irate woman.
Both Prof. Lynn and Miss White are
highly respected and have lived here
since the opening of the territory.

ARBITRATION OFFERS
Salisbury Can Get Down without Greatly

eral arbitration of all matters in dis
pute between the United States ana

tween either OF these powers and any
other power in which the good offices Of

The meaning Of this is that the pres

general scheme of arbitration to em-
brace the Venezuelan question. but
without reference thereto by name,
thus affording a method in which Lord
Salisbury may reach a settlement Of
that vexing dispute without too di-
