The Prospects as Viewed by secre-
tary of the Treasury Gage.


What of its prospects? Reasonably,
these cannot be foretold for any long period
of time. AT the beginning of the last ses-
sion of Congress when the secretary OF the
treasury made his annual report on the
state of the finances he estimated that the
end of the fiscal year, June 80, 1s9s would
ind the treasury with deficit OF $ll2.OO.-
600. During the year the receipts have been
augmented to the extent of $11,SO0,OOo on &C
count of the Central Pacific settlement on
the other hand disbursements OF extraordl-
nary character have taken place which were
not considered in the estimates submitted

FORE to take no account Of either OF these
tain. with only so short a time remaining
until the fiscal year is ended. that the esu-
mated deficit of Sill. 10000 above set forth
will not be exceeded. Should we escape the
occurrence of unforeseen events that esti-
mate may prove to be too high by a million
or so Of dollars. The accuracy of this esti-
mate Is not fortuitouS. 1t is Indicative or
the close attention which the Treasury De-
partment is able to devote to the fina noes,
CANT predictions made in Congress near the
close of the last session. 1t will be recalled
that much trepidation resulted then from
expected deficit of Sl59. OOOO. 600 and this sum
was added to by others. At the time when
the deficit was estimated for the year to
ury submitted an estimate covering the
fiscal year to end June 90 1900 amounting
to S30.O00.000 for that year. 1t seems GER
tain now, barring always, of course, the
happening of unlocked for events, that the
deficiency for the next fiscal year will not
exceed the estimate. In fact under the
influence of revenues slightly more favor

The feeling in the northwestern Pacific
States regarding the Alaskan boundary
question seems 10 be quite strong. United
States Judge Hanford delivered an address
at Seattle on Wednesday. in which he took
strong ground against allowing Great Bril-
tain to acquire any territory now in our
possession, or even prolonging a diplomatic
negotiation regarding our plain rights. He
said:
1t would be a blunder on the part of
President McKinleys administration which
posterity will not forget If, while sending
American soldiers to fight and die in main
tanning American sovereignty over distant
islands, the soil and seaports In our pos
session and the commercial advantages
which their possession insures shall be
coded TO Canada or lost through any lack
of firmness in maintaining our just rights
This is not exactly judicial language. but
as there is no likelihood of the case coming
before Judge Hanford he can afford to use
it. 1t should command the attention of the
authorities at Washington.

Admiral Schley is reported to have writ

to former Senator henderson, to the effect
that he does not know what offense he

First Dewey was made a Democrat for
that purpose but it was found that he is

courted but he has been Republican and
would not step from the head of the army
to play distinct second TO Mr. Bryan. Some
persons think Admiral Schley was III treated
