ELEVEN MILLIONS DEFICIT
During the First Month of Republican Finan.
can Administration.

Washington, d. G., August 2.-The
balance sheet Of the treasury for the
first month of the new fiscal year under
republican administration does not
make such a showing as to fill the heart
Of Secretary Gage with unalloyed pleas
ure. In the face of anticipating i'm
portations larger than at any time in
the previous history of the country, the
end of the month of July found a def
cit in the treasury not a small and in
significant thing, but deficit aggrega-
ting nearly $11,OOO.OOO.
This is an extraordinary result when
the unusual importations to escape
higher duties are taken into considera-
ton, to say nothing of the extra pay
ment into the treasury by brewers to
save the y per cent on beer stamps.
These two causes operated during the
month to increase the aggregate of col
lections to fraction less than $40, COO,
600, or % per cent more than the nor
NAL receipts for a month under the old
law. During July, 1896, the receipts
from all sources aggregated only a lit
tie less than $50, 00O,O
This unusual increase ought. it seems,
to have put the treasury on an even
keel, for the month of July, anyhow,
but great as was the increase in the
revenue it did not begin to meet the ex-
penditures, which with the most artful
manipulation of accounts and the hold
ing back of warrants that could wait
ran up to almost $50, 900, 900 as against
little more than $40, 900 for the
corresponding month last year.
One of the chief causes of this in
crease in public expenditures is claim
ed to be due to the republican pension
policy. Experts who have figured OF
question say there will be deficit by
the end of the year of almost $40, 900,
900 in the pension account alone.
How the enormous increases in pen
sions and elsewhere are to be met is
question with which the treasury off
Gals are very seriously wrestling. TIL
maximum of receipts was reached in las
month and there must necessarily b.
reduction during the present month
owing to the enforcement of the nev
rates of duties and the lessening of tn
total of importations. In all probabili
ty the internal revenue receipts will be
come normal again by next month, bu
the customs officials do not anti"ipat
any change for the better in their de
partment for many months to come,

England Will Wait.

The dispatches this morning indicate
that England is up to her old tricks and
that little may be expected from her in
the matter of the restoration OF silver.
For several weeks, in fact, almost every
day since the ENJOYS from the United
States had their interview with Salisbury,
reports have been coming to the effect
that England was really favorably dis
posed towards the white metal and would
consent to become party to a confer
ence to restore the white metal to its old
place as money. Everything had
roseate hue and it seemed as if Senator
Wolcott and his friends were men with a
gigantic pull in London. The facts OF
the case seem to be, however, that Eng.
land is not whit more favorably dis.
posed toward silver than she has always
been. Instead of demonstrating heI
willingness to act at once and show al
least little fairness OF spirit toward sill.

fuses to do anything until October, under

ded no tents or blankets, and subsisted
during the whole 10 days on what the
country afforded, eked out by the scant
supply Of crackers, meat and coffee
which they had in their haversacks.
The first thrilling encounter of the
"Bucktails'' in the field was at Harri-
sonburg. The first New Jersey cavalry
was ambuscaded by some Confederates
and Captain Haines, a brave young off,
Ger, was left on the field. Colonel Kane
volunteered to go with his band Of
scouts and rescue Haines. Meeting
Ashby's cavalry, he attacked and drove
it. Ashby's men finally rallied for a
stand, and the "Bucktails" made ready
for second charge. AS Kane was
about to order the battalion forward
Private Martin Kelly exclaimed, "Wait
until I draw their fire, COLONEL" Kelly
then boldly stepped out from cover and
received full volley from the advanced
companies Of the Fifty eighth Virgin
ians. He fell dead, riddled with bull
lets. The "Bucktails'' advanced and
routed the Virginians. At that juncture
General Ashby rushed forward and
urged his men to use their bayonets.
Meanwhile Kane had been wounded in
the leg and was leaning against tree
directing the fight. Beside him lay Pri-
vate Holmes, mortally wounded. See-
ing Ashby at the front and recognizing
him from descriptions given by Kane.
who knew him, Holmes nerved himself
for last shot, picked up his rifle and
resting it across an outgrowing root of
the tree shot down Ashby. After taking
this speedy vengeance for the death of
his comrade, Kelly, Holmes breathed
his last. Kane was captured at Harri-
sonburg. The remnant Of his battalion,
so men, fought heroically at Cross
Keys few days later and saved bat
terry which had been cut off and deserted.
The eight companies of the regiment
not present with Kane in the valley ac-
companied the Reserve division to the
peninsula under the leadership of Lieu.
