The war as made before the senate COM
mittee On finance was given to the pub
lie yesterday. The secretary stated the
available balance IN the treasury OH
April 20 at sI79,S32f.2. but frorl this il
was. he said. necessary TO deduct the
S50.0C9,yg@ appropriated for the national
defense. tie estimated that when the
deficiencies in the war and navy de-
partments were met'there would be an
available balance OF S91. 900. 00e The
treasurer estimated that he must have
$50,c00eU0 for working balance from
day TO day. This would leave now only
S29,OO0GCC of available net cash in the
treasury, but for the fact that there
were some liabilities that would not be
pressed. He thought that all told. the
treasury could count upon available
cash to the extent Of SO. GOO, 600 above
the Sl000t9,0J0 gold reserve.
Volunteers Have To BE Considered.
Gage stated that at the time his tes-
timony was given none of the volunteer
forces had become a tax upon the gov
ernment; that the entire $4,000 men
would have to be taken care of within a
months time. The best estimates placed
the extraordinary expenses for the war
and navy departments at So. coo coo up
to the LIST of July next. in addition to
the $J0,000.000 voted for national de-
fence. He thought that from $40 600 coo
to $50 0C0 600 IN addition to the ordinary
revenues would have to be realized be-
tween now and July to preserve the
gold reserve intact. Without this extra
fund he thought the reserve would be
reduced to the extent of $4,000, O00, leav-
ing in the treasury only 100000 G0, ell

REG ARDING i PUPULAR LOAN.

American People Not Like the french, the
Secretary says.
The secretary refused to furnish an
estimate Of the expense Of the war after
July !, because he had no data from
the war and navy departments, but he
gave the committee what he called a
guess" based on the best information
obtainable, placing the figure at s25.OOO,-
GOO month in addition to the ordinary
expenses. Gage expressed the opinion
that it would be impossible to place as
much as 500, 600 of the lean among
individuals and in small sums Explain
ing his reason for this opinion, he said:

generally, and when the government
puts out loan it is his opportunity.
Our people have larger opportunities.
That is the principal reason why 1 think
the whole 500. Goo eco will not be taken
by private persons"
To this statement Wolcott took ex-
ception. saying: The secretary allows
nothing for the patriotic desire of the
people to support the government and
take bonds at less interest than they
can get in savings bank. He assumes
that they would be governed entirely
by selfishness."
Secretary Gage-Tou ask my opinion
as to what proportion of these bonds
will be taken by individuals. l don't
think that my opinion is worth any
more than any other gentleman here,
but looking at it. as I would say, by

A veritable love feast was inang-
urated last night between the mens
bers of the fire department, the
mayor and the fire committee of
the city council. Everything work
ed smoothly and without a jar. All
seemed to be imbued with one re-
solve, and that was to encourage
our volunteer fire fighters, and
everything comes their way. Ar
rangements are now to employ a
skillful engineer in addition to the
teamster already employed, the
choosing of the engineer to be left
to the fire boys. The matter of
fines against members of the COM
pany to be left to the discretion of
the chief, and shall then apply
only IN cases of insubordination
and to insure discipline. The BOYS
will submit report of officers elect
ed to the city council for their ap-
proval next Monday. The mem
bers of the council assured the
boys that they were ready to rem
der them every assistance in their
power to make the fire department
effective.
The city team will begin prac-
tice with the engine this evening
and take spin around the block.
The team will be carefully trained
and it will be one mans especial
business to attend to them.
