PRESIDENTS WESTERN TRIP.
1t Will Not Be attempted Before tn.
Middle of August.

Senator Carter ef Montana called upon
the President today to present him with
formal invitations TO visit Great Falls,
Helena. Butte and Misseula when he goes
on western trip. The President said he
had not abandoned his intention to make a
western trip If conditions will permit, but
stated that he would not attempt the trip
before the middle of August. He could not
fix date and could not say positively that
he would go. He could only say that he
desired to go. .1sj
to pass through Montana when the Monta-
ma Regiment in the Philippines has come
home, as 1t was his desire to grasp by the
hand every man who has so cheerfully re-
manned in the Philippines and done his
duty. This is taken to indicate that the
President will start on his western trip
late in the summer, and that he will try to
furnished volunteer troops in the Philip
pines In this way he will be able to shake
hands with the returned soldiers.
The President has had prepared a roll of
the regiments which haye served in the east
and which are about to come home. This
shows the number of battles each regiment
was engaged in,. the number of men killed
wounded and died from. disease or wounds
The roster is complete. The Nebraska Reg
iment, for instance, was engaged in twenty
nine pitched battles and lost twenty mine
men killed and 160 wounded. Eight hun
dfed members of the regiment are coming
home.
1t is stated that there are now %, 600 reg
ular soldiers in the Philippines 1000 on

Secretary Alger today gave a hearing to
President James J. Hill of the Great North
ern railway and Vice President Daniel S.
Lamont of the Northern Pacific railway re-
garding harbor lines at Seattle and Ia
coma, in Washington state.
There Is some disagreement between the
state authorities and private parties and
owners of lands along the water fronts of
these cities which has been brought before
the War Department in an application for
the establishment of harbor lines 1t is
claimed by the state harbor commission
that the general government has no au-
thority to establish such lines, as the state
owned the tide lands and has the author
ity to establish lines. The claim is made
by the property owners along the water
fronts that the state has established lines
in sixty feet of water, while piers cannot
be built out far, and that thirty feet
depth is sufficient. The state gives the
property owners an opportunity to lease
the land between the 30-foot depth and CO.
foot depth, but il they do not lease it
claims the right to lease to other parties.
The property owners ask that the govern
ment establish lines at about the 90-foot
depth. and that request was considered
TODAY.

Mr. Boyntoa's Resignation.

Mr.. Charles H. Boynton, for the last five
years night manager of the Associated
Press in this city, has resigned from that
Office and accepted a position In the ad-
vertising department of the Royal Baking
Powder Company in New York city. Mr..
Boynton has resided in this city for seven
teen years and has been engaged in news
paper work for ten years.
He was for time attached to the repor-
torial force of The Star and proved a good
newsgatherer and a writer of more than
ordinary attractiveness. In his position on
the Associated Press he has developed ex-
cellent Judgment, good executive ability
and a great capacity for work. His depar-
ture from Washington win be sincerely re-
gretted by the newspaper fraternity, all
the members of which, however, will wish
him prosperity in his new vocation.

able that the administration will provide
him with another post as good as this
which he is obliged to reinauish. 1t Is sur
missed, however, that the chief Justices 1e-

which case, of course, the President would
be relieved of the necessity OF finding an

For the fiscal year 1888 the receipts were
$404,511 OS1, and the expenditures $443,3Io,-
3SI. During that year about S3G,900,900 was
spent on account of the war with Spain,
which was then raging. Had this war not
been in progress last year there would have
been a surplus during that year of a con-
siderable sum. 1t is also estimated tnat
there would have been a surplus of over
SO, 600 this year had the expenditures of
the war not been taken into account
Secretary Gage, as already stated in The
Star, estimated that the deficit for the
fiscal year which has just closed would pe
s11200O,U00. The Secretary's estimate was
that the receipts from customs would be
s1S5, 600, and that internal revenue
would bring s27O,Oo0,OO0 Customs receipts
have run far ahead of the Secretary'S esti-
mate, the excess being $l1, 100000, and
showing what improvement has been made
under the Dingley law. There was an in
for internal revenue.
For the present fiscal year, which began
today, Secretary Gage last December esti-
mated that the deficit would be $50 0Oo, 900.
There has been such great Improvement
in the revenue producing laws of the coun-
try that the Secretary said today that he
felt satisfied that there would probably not
be a deficit for this year and that a sur
plus. would be shown. This opinion, he
said was based entirely on the estimates
which had been furnished him by the War
Department. II its expenditures for this
fiscal year are no greater than they have

it's estimates, however, there may be a
change in the situation. Exactly what the
war in the Philippines is going to cost no.
body knows, and this will effect the bal
ance at the end of this year to a consider
able extent. 4,l- .t.-,
The deficit for the fiscal year $780, was
greatly reduced by the surplus during the
present month. The receipts for the month
of June wereos47 ,126 915, and the expendi-
nf1ix
the month ofeneariy SIS 900. No effort
was made to cut down expenditures during
the last month"; and Secretary Gage issued
instructions that every cent which could
be paid should be done, as he did not desire
the expenditures aeeumulatng on the first
of the fiscal year. 1n
The cash balance in the treasury at the
end of the fiscal year stood al s2S1, $50 46S.

In that year they were $219 800 900.
