GOVERNMENTAL SHOWING.
BY January Next the Deficit Will BE
Greatly Reduced.


Washington, Sept. 27.-The September
| monthly statement of government re-
ceipts and expenditures will show ma
terial decrease in the deficit as compared
with August. The increase that will be
shown in the receipts from internal rev
enue sources seems to justify the expecta-
! tons of the treasury officials that Janu-
airy next the deficit will have been reduced
to a nominal amount.
The excess of expenditures over re-
ceipts'sO far this month amounts to some
thing over $3,250,OOO, but it is expected
that by October this excess will have been
reduced to $3,O00,0O0 or less, making the
deficit for the first quarter of the fiscal
year about $2S,O00,000. Internal revenue
officials call attention to the fact that al
ready the receipts from internal revenue
exceed those of last year by about $6,O0O,-
600 and confidently predict that by jan
uary this increase will have reached ST.
100000 and possibly $S,000,00O. The re-
ceipts from customs so far show no ma
terial gains nor is it expected that any sub
stantial Improvement will be shown until
after the first of the year. Sugar is then
expected to figure prominently in the re-
ceipts, and before the close of the calendar
year, much is expected from wool I'M
ports.
The eXpedtures on account of the Pa
ciic railroads at the beginning of the year
will be exceptionally heavy. On January
there will be due matured bonds of the
various systems to the amount Of 29,9O4,-
952 In addition to this amount the inter-
est payments on January will aggregate
approximately $7,00O,O00. If, however,
the offer of the reorganization committee
of the Union Pacific is accepted about
$40, 100000 would be added to the avail
able cash in the treasury and would re.

Several hundred Polanders board at

street. Joseph Cavendish is proprietor
of n hotel at the east end of town where
several hundred more POlanders make
their headquarters. Bad blood has ex-
listed between them for long time, and
the recent strike troubles at Hazleton
embttered them still more. Last night
matters came to n crisis. Culacabbage,

number of several hundred, arming
themselves with guns. revolvers, knives,
axes and clubs, marched to Cavendish's
hotel, where several hundred of their
enemies were celebrating pay day. Inc

SPAIN AND CUBA.
Tip Anent the Negotiations Between
Uncle Sam and the Spanish
Government.

Madrid, Sept. 27.-The United States
minister, Gen Stewart Woodford, paid
visit of courtesy this morning to the
Spanish premier, Gen. Azcarraga. The
newspapers of this city allege that Gen.
Woodford has said in interviews with
representatives that negotiations be-
tween the United States and Spain on
the subject of Cuba have not begun, and
that he had only a preliminary chat
with the Spanish minister for foreign
affairs. The general is quoted as having
added that he found the Duke of
Tetuan to be q most anna BILE and able
man, and that no ultimatum to Spain
was delivered as that country would
not put up with it, and because the in
tention of the United States was only
to offer it's good Offices in the most
friendly terms.
Secretary Sherman still, according to
the interviews in the Spanish news
papers, desires q prompt solution of the
Cuban question by November at least,
as he fears the "jingoes" will make
themselves heard on the reassembling of
congress.
Finally it is alleged that Gen. Wood
ford has said that in the event of the
complete accord being established be-
tween Spain and the United States the
latter will take measures to suppress
filibustering.
Gen. Woodford told the premier that
he had not visited him yesterday because
it was Sunday. He expressed his firm in
tention to work increasingly to promote
good relations between the United States
and Spain.
Gen. Azcarraga uttered similar senti-
ments in reply.
Before leaving, Gen. Woodford said he
had been greatly touched by the sympa-
thetic welcome given him by the queen
regent. Then. accompanied by his sec
rotary. he paid formal visit to the Mar
quis de Amposta, under-secretary of

STRIKE THREATENED.
Public Sentiment Should support the
street Car Men.

Chicago, Sept. 27.-Mayor Harrison, in
speaking of the threatened strike of the
employees of the City Railway company,
said today:
"If il is true these men were discharged
because they were active in organizing
union for their protection, | believe that
public sentiment should support the street
car men in the event of n strike being de-
clared. There is great deal of talk of
the railroads combining in their own in
terests, and | see no reason why the men
should not have the same right to or
ganize."
Action may be taken by the city council
that will result in the various street car
companies stopping the carrying, of the
United States mail The point is made
that mail is freight and there is nothing in
the franchises of the road conveying au-
thority to carry freight of any sort.
