.SEC'Y CAGES REPORT.
Annual Report of the Secretary of
 the Treasury.
YEARS RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES.
Receipts Exceeded Those of the Proceed ing Year by Nearly Twenty-One Millions of Dollars, But Still
 There Was Big Deficit.

WASHINGTON. Dec s.-The annual re- part of the secretary of the treasury sent to congress shows that the total receipts for the year ended June 30, 1897, were S430, SIS, 16S, and expendi- lures s44s, 439, 623, leaving deficlt of SIS, 052, 454. The receipts of the year, however exceeded those for the year 1896 by SEQ, ,911, 759.
 The customs, it is shown, yielded SIG, 554 ,126, and internal revenue sources sl46, ,6sS, ,574. As compared with 1896 this is an increase in the customs of Si6,532, 374, and internal revenue, s4, 342, 721.
 The secretary, at some length, argues the need of reform in currency, and in conclusion recommends the enact ment of legislation establishing de- partment of the treasury to be desig- oated as the issue and redemption division, in which is to be deposited sl25, 100, 900 in gold to be used only for redemption purposes, and all silver now held in the treasury for redemp- ton purposes, and also all silver bought under the act of 1890. It is also recommended that provision be made for the issue of refunding loan ten year 215 per cent. bonds, payable in gold, in exchange for any part or all of the outstanding loans of the United States.
 The secretary also recommends that national banks be authorized as to the mi inimum capital of S25, 900 in places having pop nlation of 2,0O0 or less, and that the rate of taxation on circu- lating notes secured by deposit of bonds be reduced to one-half of one per cent. per annum; also that banks be permitted to issue circulating notes to par value of refund. ing bonds deposited by them in the treasury, and further, that banks be allowed to deposit as se- curity with the treasury, green backs, treasury notes, or silver certificates to a total amount of $200, 000, 900 against which national bank notes shall be issued to them to an equal amount. He also recommends that the guaranty of the government shall be ex- tended to all circulating notes of the banks, whether issued against deposited security or against assets. To secure the government against loss, if any, a tax of two per cent. shall be levied on unsecured circulation to create & safety fund to be invested by the comptroller in United States bonds

SIGNIFICANT REFERENCE
The Ways and Means Committee win p..,
 with GreenbacL Le0I.lat,o,


 with Greenback Legislation.
 WASHINGTON. Dec. s.-The ways and means committee held a meeting. at which resolution was agreed unon Tor the distribution of the presidents message to the various committees having jurisdiction. In large meas. are the reference of the several questions dealt with in the mes. age IS formal, and jurisdiction r the committee is beyond question. put It was very significant that ths presidents recommendations with re- gard to the currency and the retire. ment ot the greenbacks were divided. only those matters relating to bank ing and currency are to 20 to that committee by the terms of the resolution. The question of retiring the greenbacks and of the reduction of the tax on national bank notes is to go to the ways and means committee. This indicates that if any 'eglslatlon is to be proposed in line with the presidents recommendations It will come from the ways and means and not from the banking and cur rency committee.
