mcut Finances.
Washington, Sept. 2s.-The Septem-
Der monthly statement of the govern
ment receipts and expenditures VIII
show a material decrease In the deficit
as compared with August. The increase
that will be shown in the receipts from
internal revenue sources seems TO JUS
tify the expectation that by January
next the deficit will have been reduced
TO nominal amount. The excess OF
expenditures over receipts so far this
month amounts 20 something over Ss'-
100000, but IL is expected that by DC
tober 1 this excess will have been re-
duced 10 $4,000 900 or less, making the
deficit for the first quarter OF the fiscal
year about $2s.000.OO0. Internal rev
enue officials call attention 10 the fact
that already the receipts from internal
revenue exceed those OF last year by
about 100000 and confidently pre-
dict that by January 1 this increase
will have reached S7,000,000 and posi-
bly, ss,000,o00. The receipts from Gus
toms so far show no material gains, nor
is IL expected that any substantial inn
provement will be shown until after the
first OF the year. Sugar is then expected
10 figure prominently in the receipts,
and before the close OF the calendar
year much is expected from wool inn
ports.
The expenditures on account OF the
Pacific railroads at the beginning of the
year will be exceptionally heavy. On
January / there will be due matured

amount Of S10.614.120; Union Pacific,

S320,000; Sioux City g. Pacific, $i.62s,-

addition to this amount the interest
payments on January / will aggregate
approximately $4,000 II. however.

about $40, 100000 would be added TO the

count OF the Pacific roads by about SlT,-

next three months at Sl7.0O0.00O, eX-
elusive of payments on account OF the

balance in the treasury at the close OF

Murders His wife and Five children
md shoots Himself.

Carroll. Ia. Sept. 2s.--The home OF
John Blocker. farmer living eight
miles west Of Carroll. is the scene of
terrible tragedy which took place Sun
day night
II is undoubtedly a case Of murder
and suicide. The indications are that
Blocker first dispatched his wife with
the shotgun, shooting her In the neck,
then used the revolver on the baby, first
shooting then knocking out its brains
with the butt. He then went upstairs
where the five children were sleeping
and attacked them. He must have used
a light. for his aim was effective. each
victim being shot in the forehead. All
but two children met with instant
death, for the blood clots were under
their heads and two lay as calmly re-
posing as II in sleep. All except Henry,
who is not yet dead, were attired in
night robes. He had reloaded the
weapon while upstairs and evidently
sent the second bullet into the Oldest
girls brain just before leaving the
room. Going downstairs he stretched
himself beside the corpse OF his wife
and shot himself. His right hand was
burnt by the powder. showing much
use OF the revolver. The revolver he
borrowed from his brother Henry last
Thursday. remarking that he wanted
IL 20 kill rats in the cellar.
Blocker was "a years old and for over
90 years lived in the same neighborhood.
in fact, on the same farm. He was mar
ried II years ago. and latter living year
with his parents, moved 10 the scene OF
the tragedy which Is almost within
hailing distance Of the old home. He
has been regarded as a prosperous
farmer and only recently bought 200
acre farm n few miles from the old
homestead.
1t is surmised that he and his brother
Henry had trouble about the home
place which John was urged TO vacate
for Henry. This is assigned 10y some
as the cause OF his troubles which cul-
minated in murder and suicide. The
family are Germans and highly respect
ed citizens.

News AT Washington.

Madrid, Sept. 90.-The entire Spanish
cabinet has resigned. The queen has ac-
cepted the cabinets resignation, but
has asked Gen. Azcarraga TO continue
In Office until solution OF the crisis is
found Her majesty will summon the
lenders of the various parties and the
presidents Of the chambers to-day TO
consult as TO the situation. Senior
Sagasta has been telegraphed for and
IL is believed that the liberal leader will
be- asked to form a cabinet. The min
istry whose resignation has been an
nounced was constituted as follows:
Prime minister and minister OF war,
Gen. Marcello de Azcarraga; minister
for foreign affairs, duke of Tetuan;
minister of marine. Rear Admiral Don
Jose NJ. Beranger; minister Of finance,
Don Juan Navarro Reyerter; minister
OF commerce and agriculture, Doh
Aureliano Linares Riyes; minister for
the colonies, Don Tomas Castellano;
minister for the home department, Don
Fernando CoshGayon.
1t is said that Senior Sagasta is in
favor Of superseding Capt. Gen. Weyler
and OF granting autonomy TO Cuba inn
mediately. Senior Gamazo will probably
be minister OF foreign affairs in the new
cabinet. A strong impression prevails

IN diplomatic circles that Senior Sagas-
Ia, the eminent liberal leader. will be
called to form a cabinet.
The conservatives have a majority in
the cortes at this time, so that the for
nation OF a Sagasta cabinet would ne
cessitate a dissolution of the cortes and
an appeal TO the country. There Is said
TO be little doubt that this would result
in the return of a heavy liberal ma
iority. owing TO the strong feeling said
10 exist throughout the country against
the conservative ministry which has
just laid down its commission.
but whether IL be Sagasta or another
the change is felt 10 entail important
considerations on the Cuban policy
The present ministry has been an ag-
gressiye one, supporting Gen. eylerand
refusing TO accept his resignation, al
though a strong element at Madrid has
urged n more lenient policy. The choice
of Sagasta would undoubtedly. II Is
said, lead TO the recall OF Gen. Weyler
and material modification of the ag-
gressive policy in Cuba.
In the event OF the formation OF lib
eral ministry Minister Dupuy de LONE
would undoubtedly submit his resigna-
ton as the Spanish representative at
Washington, as is usual on a change
of political control OF the cabinet. and
the minister is. moreover, a conserya-
tive in politics.
London, Sept. 30.-A dispatch TO the
Daily Mail from Madrid says: The solu-
ton OF the crisis depends upon the
policy 20 be adopted toward the United
States. Liberal politicians declare that
they will stoutly resist Americas pre-
tensions. Gen. Azcarraga, in a long in
tcrvew with the queen regent, ex-
! planned the situation. N is believed that
he asked her majesty II she was ready
TO confirm the government in necessary
