VERY COLD COMFORT.
Deficiency Estimates Which Are Re-
specifuiIy Referred TO the estate

GaZetGe.o
Especial Despatch to 1.-THE Evening Post" ]
WASHINGTON, Oct. II, 1S97.-Since
there have been two Sundays thus far in
October it is fair to consider this days
Treasury return as first tird of the
month. The receipts from all sources
have amounted to $S,775,O0O, which, if car
ried out for the remaining twenty days,
would give a yield of $26, ,325, 900, as against
s21, 1000 in September, and SIS, 900 in
August. OF Oetober's returns, the tariff
has yielded S3,340OOO, which would be
$10,020000 for the month, against $7,943,0o0
in September, and $6,9S7,0G0 in August.
Internal revenue which, thanks to the
new, yielded 100000 today, has in the
third of the month contributed S4,961, 900,
and miscellaneous receipts amount to
S473000 for the same time. 1t is said,
however, that the proportion for the rest
of the month is quite likely to fall little
below the present average, or at any
rate the International revenue receipts
cannot prmanently hold SO high level.
Today's expenditures bring the total for
the month thus far up to s12, ,3S6. 900, which
indicates an outlay of sS7,15S.o00 for Octo-
Der. This would mean a deficit of so, SS3, :
600, against ss.4Sa,Ooo in September, and
S14, 351, 900 in August, which of course was
expected. October's interest payments are
notoriously heavy, but the 900 al
ready paid is considerably more than a
third of what win be due this month. Civil
and miscellaneous expenditures also have
probably been heavier than the average,
while pension expenditures will fall lit
tie below the ordinary If the present rate
of payments is not increased. All things
considered, the months deficit will be
about $1O,O0O00o, in the opinion of Treas
ury Department officials.
The deficiency for October, 1896, was ST.
695, ,447. The Bryanite panic was at its ut
most point of intensity The deficiency for
October, 1895, was s6,6O1,eT.

GERAGTHY'S COMPLAINT.

Judge Belcher Sustains the Demurrer
of Sunnyside Land Managers.
judge Belcher yesterday sustained the de-
murrer that was inteposed by Attorney Peix-
otto in the case OF James Geragthy against
James z. Avery and Z. Avery Mccarthy,
formerly connected with the Sunnyside Land
Company IN his complaint, which was drawn
by his attorney, Byron Waters, Geragthy al
legeE that when he came to San Francisco
some years ago he was "of a coniding nature,
simpIe-mnded and unaccustomed 10 the
wiles of designing men, and that he became
an easy victim to the designs OF the defend
ants" He asserts that by comply ing with
their schemes he was deprived of between
$4,000 and $3OOO partly on account of inves {
men made for him by the defendants, while
they were acting real estate agents, and
partly By untrue and misleading statements.
He, therefore, asks to recover $4,000. The
court is of opinion that two causes OF action
nave thus been improperly joined and has al
lowed ten days in which the plaintiff may
amend his complaint.
