DEFICIT IN THE TREASURY.
Payment to Spain Makes a Change
in Conditions.
RECEIPTS NOT FALLING OFF.
Estimates Made by Secretary Gage, It
Is Relieved, VIII Prove to BE Ac-
curate - War Department Expenses
Not Decreasing.

Washington, May 2.-Treasury re-
ceipts for April fell $15,400,000 below
those for March, while the expendi
lures were $22 100000 more than for
the month previous. This great differ
ence does not, however, indicate either
large falling off in the ordinary re-
ceipts or large increase in the ordin-
airy expenditures. The receipts for
March were increased by the payment
to the government OF nearly $12,000,000
on account of Pacific railway settle
ment, while the expenditures for April
were increased by the drawing of the
warrants for the payment Of $40, 100000
to Spain. Leaving out Of account
these two items the receipts for March
were only about 100000 larger than
those for April, and the expenditures
for the latter month were less than 3d.,
100000 greater than those for March,
Notwithstanding that the interest pay
ments for April were S5,300,000
against only $462, 10S for March.
For April the receipts were SAL 11,-
5S7, and the expenditures, including
the payment to Spain, were $50, 1854, 1000,
showing a deficit for the month of
$24,242, 412. The receipts from customs
were $17,645, 945, from internal revenue
So, 207 099, and from miscellaneous
sources $1,75S,541.
The deficit for the fiscal year to date
amounts to $109, 300,2SS, but the prob
abilities are that the deficit for the
entire year will not be in excess of
the estimate Of $112,000,000 made by
Secretary Gage in his annual report.
Expenditures on account of the war
department have not decreased as rap
idly as had been hoped, on account OF
hostilities in the Philippines, but the
recent favorable reports from Gen.
Otis have led the treasury officials to
believe that by July l practically all
Of the volunteers will have been mus
tered out of the service the heavy ex-
penditures for transportation and sub
sistence of troops will have been ma
terially reduced and the army ex-
penses generally brought down more
nearly to a normal basis
II these expectations are realized it
is thought that treasury can run about
even from the beginning of new fiscal
year and that the estimated deficit Of
$4,000, 900 for that year will not de-
velop. The secretary's estimates for
that year are based on an expected
revenue of $610, 1851 and an esti-
mated expenditure of $641 ,OO6, 49064.

ready to catch at the ropes OF the
other vessel and climb on board of her.
Anime, who had been surprised at the
noise on deck, had come out and had
taken Philip by the arm.
Trust to me-the shock" said
Philip. He said no more; the cut
water of the stranger touched their
sides; one general cry was raised by
the sailors of the Utrecht-they sprang
to catch at the rigging of the other
vessels bowsprit, which was now point
ed between their rSasts. They caught
at nothing-nothing- was no
shock-no conclusion of the two YES
sels-the stranger appeared to cleave
through them; her hull passed along in
silence; no cracking of timbers; no
falling Of masts; the foreyard passed
through their mainsail, yet the canvas
was unrent; the whole vessel appeared
to cut through the Utrecht, yet left no
trace of injury-not fast, but slowly,
as II she were really saving through
her by the heaving and tossing of the
sea with her sharp prov. The strang-
er's forechains had passed their gun
vale before Philip could recover him
self. "Amine!" cried he, at last; 1.-THE
Phantom ship! My father!"
The seamen of the Utrecht, more
astounded by the marvellous result than
by their former danger, threw them
selves down upon deck; some FASTENED
below, some prayed; others were dumb
with establishment and fear. Anime
appeared more calm than any, not ex-
cepting Philip; she surveyed the vessel
as it slowly forced its way through;
she beheld the seamen on board her
coolly leaning over her gunwale, as If
deriding the destruction that they had
occasioned; she looked for Wander
decken himself, and en- the poop Of
the vessel, with his trumpet under his
arm, she beheld the image of her
Philip-the same hardy, strong build,
the same features, about the same age
apparently; there could be no doubt it
was the doomed Vanderdecken.
"See, Philip" said she; "see your
father!"
Even so. Merciful heaven! it is
it isl" and Philip, overpowered by his
feelings, sank upon the deck.
The vessel had now passed over the
Utrecht; the form of the elder Wander
decken was seen to walk aft and look
over the taffrail; Anime perceived it
to start and turn away suddenly; she
looked down and saw Schriften shak-
ing his fist in defiance at the super
natural being! Again the Phantom
ship flew to leeward before the gale,
and was soon lost in the mist; but
before that Anime had turned and
perceived the situation of Philip. No
one but herself and Schriften appeared
able to act or move. She caught the
pilots eye, beckoned to him. and with
his assistance Philip was led into the
cabin.

GEN. MILES NOT SUSTAINED.

balmed Beef Was Furnished.
Washington, May 1.-The board of
inquiry which has been investigating
the embalmed beef charges has for
warded its report to the president.
Gen. Miles and his friends are dis
appointed over the findings of the
board. 1t is not believed, however, that
the commanding general will initiate
further action through army channels.
His friends contend that he submitted
sufficient evidence to sustain his
charges and warrant decision favor
able to him. While the boards judg-
ment that the fresh beef was not
chemically treated is serious reflec-
ton upon Gen. Miles. and the further
opinion that the canned roast beef
was nutritious and wholesome places
him in an embarrassing situation, the
recommendation of the board that no
further action be taken will cause the
president, it is believed, to drop the
matter and refuse to entertain appeals
from Gen. Miles or anyone else VINO
may be dissatisfied. Gen. Miles Is ex-
pected to carry his case to congress
and ask an investigation.

I'VE came here solely to look up i'm

country IOT WH6dl-BiONihb, anu 'hD
other conditions of climate, schools.
markets, etc, are all that we could
wish for.
ITO show what an energetic man
can do we may mention that we found
one such at Hartney who had rented
a farm on shares, receiving two-thirds
OF the returns as his share Of the
crop When he came to sell his OWL
produce he found that his two-thirds-
when converted into cash, was enough
to buy the farm he rented out and
out. which he accordingly did, and Is
now its owner. 1t is our intention to
induce as many OF our friends as pos
sible. who are practical farmers, to re
move from Iowa to this country,
where we believe there is a better
future for the Industrious man than
is now to be found anywhere on this
continent. We are well known in our
part Of the state OF Iowa, and we in

How many times in life few words of

lowing which comes from Battle Creek

Guiteaux, Veterinary Surgeon of that

queror and the result of few timely
words of advice. He says:
II was standing in Amberg & Muir
phys drug store in Battle Creek one
day when a friend of mine came in and
asked for box of kidney pills. After
he had made his purchase said quietly
to him, You have made a mistake in
buying those His reply was, How is
that?' 1 said 'Doan's Kidney Pills are
worth all the others pu. together As
he wanted my reasons for thinking so

one he just purchased. and that until 1
used Doan's Kidney Pills / migh have
taken as many spoonsful of water, in

Kidney Pills are just as you repre-
sented. After using the box about which

WHEAT OUTLOOK POOR.
REPORTS from Many States Show Damage
by Freezing.

Chicago, May 2.-The winter-wheat
crop of this year throughout the mid
die west will not be heavy one, esti-
mated upon it's present condition.
In many of the middle western states
damage by freezing has been immense.
Illinois reports the crop as almost en-
tirely killed and the fields plowed up
and devoted to other uses. Wisconsin
and Iowa Jared little better. Nebras-
ka's shortage in the winter variety
will be supplied by very heavy
acreage of spring wheat. Indiana re-
ports some favorable localities, while
Michigan shows an average crop.
Ohio's yield promises to surpass that
OF any of the states mentioned.

Cinderella of Ancient Egypt.

Cinderella" is not entirely the
product Of fiction. Princess Rhodopis
of Egypt was the first Cinderella. She
was bathing in the Nile, and a bird.
which Strabo calls an eagle, flying
past, picked up one of her slippers, or
sandals, flew away with it, and
dropped it on the lap of Prince Psam-
meticus, who was holding court Of
justice in Memphis. He was so struck
by the dainty manufacture and small
size of the sandal that, being then in
search of bride, he at once vowed
that he would only wed the maiden
whose foot fitted the sandal. There
were two elder daughters of the first
marriage who greatly envied her good
fortune-and here we have all the es-
sentials of the story.
