synopsis OF Annual Report OF the
United states Treasurer.

Washington. Oct. 12.-The annual re-
port of the treasurer OF the United
States will show that on June 30. 1896,
the total available assets of the treas
ury were Ss55,6s5,32l and on June 30,
1897, they had increased TO $s74, ,377.
OF these sums $30s, 1854, 44s was available
on June 30. 1896 and S2s3,2o5, 424 on
June 30, 1897, for the strictly fiscal oper-
ations Of the government. On June 30,
1896, S547 .330,O73 and on June 80, 1897,
1891, 4Gs, 1853 was held on deposit against
outstanding certificates and treasury
notes. In addition TO the net ordinary
revenues, the treasury received $l5,44s,-
go in deposits for the retirement of
national bank notes and $3,250 in re-
funding certificates for conversion into
bonds. so that the total income avail
able for the fiscal operations OF the year
was 1868, i73,025. As against this there
was disbursed besides the ordinary ex-
penditures the sum of Sl1 ,37s,502 on ac-
count Of bonds and fractional currency,
and the further sum OF S1i ,002, 1855 in the
retirement OF national bank notes, maxi
ing total OF S3ss.2f5,017. The net loss
OF available cash arising from these
operations, therefore. was s25,0Tl DOL.
In the issue ofpaper currency, the oper-
atoms OF the year. which amounted to
1914, s4s, 900, were exceeded i'm only one
year-1so9 and then by only narrow
margin. The rcdemptions, amounting
TO $3.50. 10000, were also relatively
higher. The presentation of national
bank notes for redemption increased TO
such proportions as TO overtaX the ca
pacity OF the force employed in count
ing and asserting, and required consid-
cradle advances 10 be made out Of the
general funds of the treasury. BY an
increase OF the force. however, the ar
rearage of work was brought up before
the close OF the year.

More Money Order omccs.

Washington, Oct. 9. - The post Office
department has adopted policy OF
general extension of the money order
system. First Assistant Postmaster
General Heath believes that any post
Office wanting money order facilities
should be given them. Complaints have
been constantly filed by business houses
that their correspondents at villages
are unable TO send money orders be-
cause their post Offices have no such IN
cilities. During the past fiscal year
almost 27,000,000 money orders were
issued. amounting to a little less than
100000 900. The total number of
money order Offices in operation is about
$4,000 and the number probably will be
increased to 10000 by the next fiscal
year.

Huge water Main bursts.

New York, Oct. IA large Croton
water main burst early Sunday morn
ing at the corner of Madison avenue
and Forty-eighth street, the heart Of
the fashionable district, and wrought
such havoc with property. both near
and remote. that not even a partial
calculation can be made OF the finan-
cial damage at present. The big water
main was probably cracked by blast
which was fired in sewer excavation
late Saturday afternoon. Then in the
night time, when the strain on the pipe
was greatest, IL gave way and the flood
followed The breaking of four-foot
pipe was announced by rumbling
noise which awakened the people in
the immediate vicinity. Looking out Of
their windows they saw great geyser
in the middle Of the avenue shooting
a vast volume of water into the air, a
column 50 high that it reached almost
TO the top of the electric Light pole on
the corner. Those who had no view
OF the fountain heard mighty rush Of
water. For five hours this column shot
into the air before il was shut oil at its
source. and In that time 100000 gall
Ions Of water had run down the avenue
and side streets on either hand. All the
streets east of Madison avenue slope
gradually, and down them the water
surged in a torrent, flooding the cell
lars and Easements.

Estimate OF Naval Expenses.

Washington, Oct. lit is the opinion
Of secretary Long that almost $4,000, 600
viii be necessary to defray the expenses
OF the navy and marine corps during the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1890. Having
employed the pruning knife atall points
where it was possible TO do so. the secre-
tary has drafted a letter to the secre-
tary of the treasury, forwarding the cs-
Inmates Of appropriations required by
the two services. The exact total Of the
estimates is S31,0ol, 727.55. The esti-
mates submitted 10 congress by former
Secretary OF the Navy Herbert for the
present fiscal yearamountcd TO $34,2l5.-
0361o. The apparent smallness Of Sec
rotary Longs total is due TO the fact
that that official proposes to make a
special estimate in his annual report for
docks and additional ships.
