DECREASE IN DEFICIT.
Due TO Imminence of New Tarin
Lew.

WASHINGTON, March 31.-The state
ment of receipts and expenditures for the
month OF March, to be issued by the
Treasury Department tomorrow, will
show a decrease in the national deficiency
for the first time, with the exception Of
one month, in a year. Up TO to-day the
excess of receipts over expenditures for
March has amounted TO SS,743,72S, and as
there were no large payments to Offset
the revenue received to-day, a million
more dollars will probably be added to
this favorable showing. This large in
crease in revenue is due to charges for
the withdrawal of goods in bond and the
duties on articles received from abroad
naturally resulting from the Dingley bill.
Importers and others who deal in articles
on which the duty Is increased by the
Dingley bill are getting their stores out
of bonded warehouses, and receiving
large consignments from abroad, TO Sc
cure the advantage Of the present rates.

In view of the doubt existing in this
matter. Mrs. Bailey. who conducts the
grocery business on north Twenty-fitth
street. has offered a reward of 500 for
any direct information in regard to her
husband, dead or alive. She has had IS
sued by the thousand circulars containing
this offer, a picture Of Bailey taken seve-
raj years ago, and other information re-
garding this case.
The following is the text of the circu-
lar letter:
on the 1st of December, 1895, Scott
Bailey, of Richmond Va, left home, ana
has never returned. From Lynchburg
Va, he wrote letter home, in which he
expressed his determination TO take his
life and al the same time forwarded
watch and other jewelry home Evidence
from Iynchburg showed that, instead Of
taking his life he boarded a west-bound
train. A few weeks later the following
letter came to the postmaster of Rich
mOnd from Denver, Col:
Denver, col, December If, 1895.
To the Postmaster. Richmond Va:
