Washington correspondence
says: The forthcoming monthly
statement of the government re-
ceipts and expenditures will show
material increase in the recei pts
aud expenditures from both Gus
toms and internal ,evenue. Thurs.
days income from customs alone
was $735, 567, the highest figures
reached since the new tariff law
went in effect. Several times dur.
ing the last few weeks the custom
revenues have exceeded 100000,
and, according to the expectations
Of the treasury officials, these fig
ures will be fully maintained for
an indefinite period.
The increase from customs this
month will probably will exceed
November by 100000 or 50, 900,
600, which will leave surplus for
the month. Independent of the
receipts and payments on account
of the Pacific railroad transfer, the
total receipts this month would
have exceeded the expenditures by
approximately $1,750,000. The
returns from internal revenue
sources show a gratifying increase,
and it is not unlikely that the
December statement will show an
excess over November of$1 900, 600.
Altogether, the situation so far as
revenues are concerned is very
gratifying to the treasury officials,
who confidently predict that, with
the exception of January. when,
heavy interest payments are due,
there will be a surplus for each
remaining month Of the present
fiscal year.

plus for December, over all the
expenses of the government, of
about $1,550,000. Necessarily
estimating the receipts for the last
two days of the month, the :otal
for December foots up $27 ,455, 900,
while the total outgo is but about
$3.50 900. This will leave the
total amount received from the
sale Of the Union Pacific railroad
at the disposal Of the treasury, to
be applied in cancelling the
government indebtedness. The

Dingley bill went into effect is

the rate of increase shown above
shall be only partially maintained,
and congress shall keep expendi:

the surplus for the calendar year

House Civil Service Debate
viii Simply Put Men,
bers on Record.
Likely, However, to Be Highly
Interesting if Not a Bit
Sensational.
Opponents and Defenders c:
the Law Well Primed for
the Contest.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-The time O.
the house this week, after it meets Oh
Wednesday will probably be entirely
devoted to the debate on the civil serv'
ice question. BY general consent the
appropriation in the legislative, execu'
tive and judicial bill, Tor the nainten'
ance of the commission, upon which
tie debate will be based, went over
until after the holidays. 1t is intended
by the opponents of the civil service
law that the debate shall cover the
whole question and they expect to de.
velop and exploit some very interesting
facts. Tho defenders OF. the law have
made elaborate preparations to meet
these assaults and some highly inter.
estins if not sensational incidents are
anticipated.
Records of Individuals
are likely to be very much in evidence.
No one seriously believes, however,
that the upshot OF the present debate
will be the striking out OF the appro-
priation for the commission. This
proposition cannot by any means com-
mand the full strength Of the opposi.
ton, the leaders of which think direct
legislation should be enacted to repeal
or radically amend the law. The de-.
bate, therefore, will simply be in the
nature Of a general airing Of the views
OF the members of the house, the only
practical effect of which will be to
place them on record for the future.
