A DEFICIT OF, sloo, 600, 600.
During the Fiscal Year Now Closing
Uncle Sam spent Nearly s9OO,OOO,.
OO0-The War Tax Revenue.

Washington, June s2.-It is regarded
as conservative estimate that the
treasury deficit for the fiscal year 1892
which closes ten days hence, will be
less than $100,000,000. Already the re-
ceipts for the year aggregate over
$49S, 100000, with the expenditures
barely $100,0OO,000 more, with ten days,
judging from past years, of heavy re-
ceipts yet to be accounted for. Up to
this date customs receipts amount
to over S200,400,000; from internal rev.
enue $3.50, $4,000 was realized, and
from miscellaneous sources there was
received $35,500,000. The total re-
ceipts from all sources last year
amounted to $4O5, 1921 1886, while the ex-
penditures aggregated S443,36s,5s2,
leaving deficit of S3s,047,247.
From the closest calculation that
can now be made the war revenue act,
which with the exception of FEW
items went into effect July 1, 1893, viii
realize for the year little less than
S1OO,OO0,OOO. The receipts from to-
bacco alone will probably show an in
crease for the year of over $15,000,O0O;
spirits an increase of SG,500,000; beer
and other fermented liquor an increase
of over S2S,O00,000, and oleomnrgarine
an increase of about $5S5,000. The
two items which have produced more
than ten times as much revenue as any
two others are those applying to docu-
mentary and proprietary stamps. On
April 30, 1899. these items had pro-
duced over $36, 100000, and it is not i'm
probable that by July | the total will
exceed $4400O,000. The tax on legacies
will probably produce not much
in excess of 81 100000, while the special
tax collected from bankers will exceed
$4,000, 900.
The expenditures up TO this time ag-
gregate about $600.000,O00. OF this
amount $22s, 100000 was paid out on
acquisitions from the war department;
$64 100000 on account of the navy;
$40 900 900 on account of pensions, and
nearly s40,000,000 on account of inter
est on the public debt; E12,6750O0 was
paid to the Indians and Sl17,200, ,00G
was disbursed on civil and miscellan-
eous accounts.
At this time it is impossible 10 state
with any degree of certainly what the
war with Spain and the troubles in the
Philippines have cost during this venr,
but an approximation has been made
of the actual cash payments on these
accounts, which places the amount at
1890, 100000. A calculation has Eeeh
made at the treasury which shows that
leaving out of the reckoning the $?fU,-
100000 expended this year on account
of the war; the $100,000,00o produced
by the war revenue act and the SILL
70s,314 received from the Central Pa
cific. the figures would show n surplus
for the wear aDDroXimating S20 ,000, ,0C0.

A FARMERS TRUST.

Washington, June 23.-Joseph Ager,
president of the Maryland grange,
Patrons of Husbandry, was before the
industrial commission yesterday. He
said a trust among the farmers, was
impracticable, owing to the difficulty
of getting the farmers to hold up
prices. Speaking of cOlored labor lie
said it was unreliable because of the
natural Incidence of individuals of the
race. Liquor he regarded as the great
bane of that people and responsible
for nine-tenths of the crimes commit
ted by them.
Mr.. Ager considered the condition
of the average farmer as worse than
It was 20 years ago, but he believed
money invested in farming was safer
than in other lines of business. He
attributed the number of abandoned
farms in the southern states to the
fact that they were owned by nom
residents. Mr.. Ager said the grange
was not so prosperous in point of num-
bers as formerly, and he attributed
the falling off largely to the fact that
the grange could not be used in poll

James b. Riley, of Rossville, staggered
into the police station here Wednes-
day night. He was the victim of n
whitecapping attack at Rossville. Ter

came to his home in Rossville and
took him out. He said they wore
masks, but he recognized five of them.
They took him out of the town and
tied him to a wire fence. He was then
stripped and beaten with whip. He
says they wore the whip out on him
