CONDITION OF THE TREASURY.
Favorable Reports From Officials at Wash
ington.

The condition of the treasury is show
ing Improvement and in the opinion of
the officials at Washington is as satis-
factory as can reasonably be expected.
There Is a gradual increase in receipts
and a consequent diminution of the
deficit. Acting Secretary spaulding
said: We are perfectly satisfied with
the outlook and 1 am convinced that
early next year the receipts will equal
the expenditures and by the end of the
fiscal year. June 30. 1898, the receipts,
I believe will be considerably In excess
of expenditures.
Assistant Secretary Howell, who ia
In charge of the customs, says that the
comparatively light receipts from thaf
source are due to the heavy anticipat-
ory imports of wool and sugar. He be-
lieves, however, that within three
months large quantities Of sugar will
again be imported and there will be
large increases In all the lines Of i'm
ports. He Is confident that the re-
ceipts will soon balance the expendi-
lures.

BOLD ASSERTION.
Chicago Railroads Refuse to Pay For Stree
Privileges.

President c. c. Bonney, Of the Chica-
go General Railway Company. acting
in the interests of the Yerkes lines and
the Chicago City Railway Company,
has fled a brief In the Supreme Court
OF Illinois In which he boldly attacks
the right of a city or other municipal
corporation to demand any compen-
sation, more than a license on the cars
run, from street car company In con-
sideration of being allowed the use of
the public streets. The city seeks to
collect $500 a mile compensation from
the railway company, which is agreed
on in its franchise ordinance. The
principle set up Is that the city cannot
demand such compensation in any
cases. Mr.. Bonney's argument applies
to gas telephone and other franchises

GOVERNORS WIFE IN COURT.
II Convicted She Will Surely be Pardoned by
Her Husband

The trial of the wife Of Governor
Atkinson, of West Virginia, began at
Glenville, w. Va, last Saturday, after
Judge Blizzard had overruled a demur-
rer to the Indictment. The charge is
forging the name of her late husband,
Judge d. c. Camden, to certain re-
ceipts. The prosecution is pushed by
heirs Of Judge Camden, the indictment
being found shortly before her mar
riage to Governor Atkinson. The gov
ernor appeared in court with his wife,
