tons are very interesting. The total
reet,p,s i's the fiscal year were 1884,
53S,953. internal revenue furnished
Sl70.000.000, and customs about $3.50 O00,-

cific contributed $5S,44S,23S. The ex-
penses were s3S.047, 247.60 in excess Of
the receipts, the cost of the Spanish

ing $5S,S2394S. The total revenues as
compared with the fiscal year 1897. in

increased s77,594, 423. Military expenses
increased about 100000, and naval
establishment expenses $24, 100000.
Receipts for Next Year.
The secretary estimates the re-
ceipts for next year at $577. S74,647, and
the expenses $112, 100000 more than re-
3eipts. Naval and military are accred-
tied with probable expenses of 1910, 600, :

For 1900 the receipts are estimated at

ury attention is called to the great
deposits of gold, the largest on record.

For Waste in Coinage.
The secretary recommends reduction
Of one-half in the allowances for waste
in coinage; authority to coin silver
from whatever bullion in treasury to
meet increasing demand for fractional
currency; desires a deficit charged to
certain minis of $3.50, 6S1.67, for old de-
falcations, losses, ETC., wiped out;
wants direct appropriation for the
bureau OF engraving and printing: the
privilege Of keeping foreign gold de-
posted to order to sell, rather than be-
ing obliged, as now, to melt it; desires
additional efficiency of revenue sery-
ice; pensions to revenue service en-
pioyes, and is emphatcally for the Gre
alton or an American sea-going mer-
cnant fleet which is not "intrinsically
more difficult to establish than has been
the recent rehabilitation of the Ameri-
can navy" Porto Rico is the subject
OF considerable comment, and much
space Is devoted to currency reform.

THE RECIPROCITY MOVES SLOWLY
Canadian American Commission to Ad
journ to the 4th of March.


Washington, Dec. 12-It has been
agreed by the joint high commission of
Americans and Canadians which has
been in session here for several weeks
to adjourn at an early date. This has
not yet been formally announced, but it
is understood that the day fixed for ad-
journment is Dec. 20. On the evening of
Dec. 10 the Canadians will give a ban
quet to which the Americans will be in
vited. The understanding is that the
sessions will not be resumed till after
March 4 next, when the American COM
missioners. who are members of the
house and senate will have leisure to
devote to the negotiations. Whether
the sessions will be resumed at Quebec,
where they were begun. or in this city
has not been stated.
The decision to adjourn has grown
out of the developments of the past
week. While there are several proto-
coils in the proposed treaty--notably
the Boring sea and north Atlantic fish,
cries, reciprocity. and questions affect
Ing the great lakes-reciprocity is the
one great subject in which the Cana
dams are interested. Last week the
they have ever been before to the dis
cussion of that subject. The Canadians.
had submitted proposals and on
Wednesday the Americans submitted
counter proposals. These counter pro-
posals showed that the Americans were
disposed to be very unyielding. and that
much smaller concessions would really
be made than had been expected
The negotiations of last week also
convinced the Canadians that free lum-
Der. contamination they and all their
people have devoutly wished for. was
impossible The american commission
ers not only told the Canadians So but
the latter were invited to the Capitol
and while there met several prominent
members of the house and senate who
impressed the fact still more firmly up
on them. 1t is said that the Americans
have agreed to a small reduction in the
duty on lumber, now 50 per 1000. The
Canadians had hoped for much larger
concessions.
This condition of things and the APP
parent impossibility of reaching an
agreement before Christmas are said to
have led to the decision for an adjourn
ment. The senate may be called in ses-
sion after March 4 to transact business
when there would be ample time to
present any treaty that may have been
framed with Canada. At present the
outlook for an agreement Is not bright
