National Finances.

A correspondent Of the New York
Journal OF Commerce gives some
treasury figures OF the 18th of Feb
ruary 1889, 1893 and 1897, which
shows that tho first Cleveland at.
miniStrati0n handed over the treas
ury to it's successor with u net bal.
auce, III available funds, "t $685.
las in excess of the 500, 600, 600
gold reserve; that the second Clcvc.
lanu administration received the
treasury with a net deficit, in avail.
able funds of 50, C41 SOB, which i'm.
paired the gold deficit TO that tx
tent aud has now handed 1t over
to it's present successor with u net
balance, in available funds, of
81, 53O,0l6 in excess Of the $780,.
900, 900 gold reserve.
1t is, therefore, clearly evident
that Nlr. Cages task in conducting
the treasury will be far easier
tnan that which was imposed on
Mr.. Carlisle, who, besides Starti".
with deficit and an impaired gold
reserve, was confronted with the
obligation umler the Sherman law
of buying each month 100000
ounces OF silver, to be paid TO: in
treasury notes re'Ieemable in gold.

10 the evidence Of several OF the passen-
gers who witnessed the affair. returned
verdict that John ". Fisher came tn
his death by a pistol shot discharged
by his own hand with suicidal intent.
A peculiar circumstance which sub.
stantiates the evidence that he COM
mitted suicide Is the fact that when this
passenger train stopped AT the depot
the doors OF the coach were bcked in
order that the customs inspector rnlshs
examine the luggage OF the Passengers
before they were allowed to mingle with
the crowd In the city. There was q
large number of passengers on the
train, and the customs Inspector had no
time TO go through the train before Its
arrival. When Fisher realized that he
was locked IN II Ia evident that he be-
lieved this precaution was taken to pre-
vent his escape. Very few Of the pas
sengers knew why they were locked In
the coach. and Fisher. remenoerlnG the
grand jury and the shortage. dld not

yer IL made especially 10 prevent aeci-

tai shooting finds little substantfntion-
His face was powder burned, shownn
that the muzzle OF the gun was close

was done. SO In cash. gold and silver

association OF Westfield. Mass This
card was found In one OF his vest pock-
cts. IL looked as though IL might have
been placed there a few minutes before
Fisher shot himself. as IL was only
pushed half way into the pocket. A
small gold cross bearing the letters "v.
II. X. u. =" and two symbols We're
pinned Ia his vest near the left armhole.
In the valise were found a new pair Of
