THE. TREASURY DEFICIT
1T WILL BE LESS THAN 800, 900 900
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 1900.
Heavy Expenditure ON Account Of
the war-But for 1t the Surplus
Would Have Been $2O,OOO,OOO.

WASHINGTON, June Alt is regarded
as conservative estimate that the treasury
deficit for the fiscal year 1899. which closes
ten days hence, will be less than 800 10000.
Already the receipts for the year asgre-
gate over $isS. 10000, with the expenditures
barely 500. 100000 more. with ten days,
judging from past years, of heavy receipts
yet TO be accounted for. Up to this date
the customs receipts amount to over $780,
100000: from internal revenue 1858, $50 600 was
realized. and from miscellaneous sources
there was received S35, 10000 The total re-
ceipts from all sources last year amounted
to $405. .Sal ,3S5. while the expenditures ag-
gated $44336 ,5S2, leaving a deficit of $685.
0a7,247.
From the closest calculation that can now
be made the war revenue act, which, with
the exception of a few items, went into
effect July /. 1898. will realize for the year
little less than $l0o.OoO,o0o. The receipts
from tobacco alone will probably show ar
increase of s6.5oO,Ooo; beer and other fer
mented liquors an increase of over s2s,ooo,- :
600 and oleomargarine 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 last these items had produced over $780,
100000 and 1t is not improbable that by July
the total will exceed $4,000, 0O0 The tax
on legacies will probably produce not naueh
in excess of $1.0O0Ooo. while the special tax
collected from bankers will exceed 50, $4,000
The expenditures up to this time aggre-
gate about $500 100000. OF this amount s22s,-
100000 was paid out on acquisitions from the
War Department, s6400o.0O0 on account OF
the navy $l3s,000.0o0 on account Of pensions
and nearly 900 on account OF interest
on the public debt s12e75, no was paid to the
Indians and sll7. go 900 was dsbursed on civil
and miscellaneous account.
At this time II Is impossible to state. with
any degree of certainty, what the war with
Spain and the troubles in the Philippines
have cost during this year. but an approxi-
nation has been made of the actual cash
payments on these accounts. which places
the amount at $3.50. .0o0O 900. A calculation has
been made at the treasury. which shows
that leaving out Of the reckoning the
$500, 100000 expended this year on account of
the war, the $l00,OO0OO0 produced by the
war revenue act and the s11, ,79s. .314 received
from the Central Pacific the figures would
show a surplus for the year approximating
SIC, 100000.

Gated I'm oklahoma.

derer OF Gilbert Gates. brother of President

ty-eight years of unavailing search. His
arrest is TO be made Immediately at his
home. i'm Oklahoma. Gilbert Gates was
killed twenty-eight years ago. He was jour
neying across Missouri in a wagon train

escaped and had not been found, in spite
of an unceasing search by detectives, until
now. His sister, Mrs. Cornelia Street, of

A Pessimistic View.

LONDON, June 22.-The correspondent of
the Times at Apia, Samoan islands, under
date of June IS. says: Although consider
able success has attended the labors of the
commissioners, it cannot be said that the
outlook for the immediate future Is alto
gether satisfactory. In order to secure
unanimity the commissioners have followed
to perilous extent policy of compromise
with the result that many conclusions at
which they have arrived are inconsistent
and displeasing to all parties. The only
completely satisfactory features are dis
armament and disbandment of the natives.
the resignation of Malietoa Tanu and the
abolition of the kingship. These incidents
greatly relieve the tension and modify the
fears Of another outbreak. The proclama-
tion Of provisional government is keenly
criticised by natives and whites alike.
During the absence of Herr Rose, the
German consul, his duties will be i'm the
hands Of Herr Grunow, the vice consul
wlile deputy commissioner will undertake
the duties of the British consul, Mr.. Maxse.
j have the best reason to believe that the
commissioners will take early action to Sc
cure the retirement of the present chief JUS
tioe and the American consul, Mr.. Osborne,
although no definite decision has been
reached. AS there are many delicate mat
ters awaiting consideration it is very doubt
full whether the commissioners will be able
to leave the end Of this month";

The natives have returned to their homes.
Malietoa Tanu was recognized as King by
the commissioners of the three powers, and
the decision of Chief Justice Chambers in
the matter of the kingship was proclaimed
valid and binding Malietoa Tanu then alb
dicated in favor of the commissioners, who
appointed provisional government consist
ing of the consuls of the three powers, en-
pcwering majority to act In all cases where
the unanimty is not required by the Berlin
treaty. Chief Justice Chambers continues
to hold office, and the various municipal OFF,
cials are confirmed. DR.. Wilhelm Solf has
been authorized to act as president of the
municipality oN Apia.
The commissioners expect to leave on June
2S but they have requested Chief Justice
Chambers to remain. Their report recon-
mends the abolition of the kingship and the
presidency of Apia, and the appointment Of
a governor, with a legislative council, con-
sisting Of three nominees of the interested
powers assisted by a native house. Under
this scheme the governor would have veto
over general and municipal laws; the nomi-
nees would be the departmental heads; con-
sular. diplomatic and judicial functions
would be abolished; revenue would be raised
