REVENUES.
1t is gratifying to be able to state
that the surplus revenues for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1900, were $79,-
5270S01S. For the six succeeding
years we had only deficits, the aggre-
gate of which from 1894 to 1899, in
elusive, amounted to 3,022, ,991.14.
The receipts for the year from all
aggregated $567 7,240, ,SS1.99 and expen-
dltures for all purposes except for the
administration of the postal depart
ment aggregated $4S7,713,791.71. The
receipts from customs were S233, 1884,
S71.16, an increase over the, preceding
year of $27O363S9.41. The. receipts
from internal revenue were $295,327,-
926. 70, an increase of $21 800, 1885 ov-
er 1889. The receipts from miscellan-
eous sources were $3S,74S,05997, as
against $56,994, 1882 for the previous
wear

EXPENSES.

1t is gratifying also to note that
during the year a considerable reduc-
tion is shown in the expenditures Of
the government. The War Department
expenditures for the fiscal year were
$134, ia, ,76773, a reduction of $685.,
O66, ASSOC over those of 1899. In the
Navy Department the expenditures for
the year we're $55, ,O7772, as against
$63, ,942, ,10425 for the preceding year,
an increase of S7,9S9, ,626.5S. In the eX-
penditures on account of the Indians
there was a decrease in 1900 over 1899
of $3.50, ,604.53, and in the civil and
miscellaneous expenses for 1900 there
is a reduction of $13,41S,065.74.

THE TREASURY.

Because of the excess of revenues
over expenditures, the Secretary of the
Treasury was enabled to apply bonds
and other securities to the sinking
fund to the amount of $56,514, $685..
The details of the sinking fund are set
orth in the report of the Secretary of
the Treasury, to which | invite atten-
ton. The Secretary of the Treasury
estimates that the receipts for the
current fiscal year will aggregate
$580,000 600, and the expenditures
000O0,000, leaving an excess of rev
enues over expenditures of $S0,000, 900.
The present condition ofthe treasury is
one of undoubted strength. The avail
able cash balance November 80 was
$139, 1903, ,794.5O: Under the form of
statement prior to the financial law of
March IA last this would have been in
cluded in the statement of available
cash gold and bullion held for the re-
demption of United States notes.
If this form were pursued, the cash
balance, including the present gold
reserve of $15O,OOO $1,000, would be $685.
3O3, 794.5O. Such balance November 80
1899, was $295, ,495, ,3O1.55. In the gen
eral fund, which is wholly separate
from the reserve and trust funds, there
was on November 80, $7O,O9O,O7S.15 in
gold coin and bullion, to which should
be added $22,957, 800 in gold certificates
subject to issue, against which there is
held in the division of redemption
gold and bullion, making total hold.

BEST BRICK ON EARTH.
Kansas Gas Belt Can Supply the
Whole West Below the Cost of
Eastern Points.

Mr.. Ladue, an eastern brick man,
was in town the other day and was
talking about lola Brick. He said
that if lola had proper freight rates,
such as his firm gets out of Chicago,
they could lay their brick down in st.
Louis and under sell the home
factories The gas belt plants. he
said, could cover the entire middle
west at big profit and completely
shut out competition as ebrick made
here is superior to nearly any other
make and can he made at a third ofthe
cost.
Mr., Gillespie, of the Kansas City
firm which is building the NoThrup
Bank and who has built buildings all
over the country, says that lola brick
is the hardest brick he ever saw. 81
don't see why you fellows don't simply
control the Kansas City market. If
ever get hold of high building and
think want everything solid, I shall
come right here" And by the way
why won't his engagement here prove
good opening for the lola firms to
break into the Kansas City market?
Speaking of brick, the Star Brick
Company, of lola, yesterday began
filing an order from Texas for 1,250, e
600 brick. Think of it! A million
and quarter Will deaf world
have to be hit by million of brick
before it learns that the gas burned
lola product is the finest made?

GOVERNMENT WRECKED.
Foreigners at Shanghai Regard the
Situation as lreparable.

SHANGHAI, June 23.-Foreigners
and commercial men at all of the
treaty ports are of the opinion that
the Chinese government has been
wrecked beyond repair, and that the
only solution for the existing anarchy
will be the establishment of anew gov
eminent controlled by the civilized
nations. Attempts to restore the En-
press on the basis of her foreordained
promise of good behavior would make
the position of the foreigners worse
than ever. A popular plan is the res
toration of the Emperor, if found
alive,
With liberal advisers, he could be
held subject to strict supervision by
some council representing the foreign
powers. The personal punishment of
the highest officials concerned in the
anti-forigen movement is considered
essential. Interest is focused on Rus
STA and America.

TT. SCOTS Dream.

The Tribune Wednesday resurrected
the DID, oft-repeated dream of Fort
Scott that she might steal Iola's fire
and wax fat. If the fasteners want
to move their factories to the gas belt,
why in the name of all the ancients,
should they move half way and then
pipe the gas the other half. Why not
come to lola at one jump, for in no
other way can they ever get Allen
county gas. The Tribune says;
sc. c. Nelson of this city has be-
come interested in company of east
ern capitalists, which has just been
organized with a half million dollar
stock, to lease and develope Kansas
gas and oil lands. It's main offices
will be maintained in this city. Fifty
thousand dollars of the stock has
been paid up, and for several weeks
the company has had men at work in
the gas belt securing leases. Attor-
ney j. II. Grain to-day drew up an ap
plication for charter for the com

few days.
The company is backed by the Muir
docks of Lafayette, Ind, who were
here year ago figuring on piping gas
to this city from lola, and some of
their wealthy associates. Their
means are unlimited, and the concern
will no doubt prove to be a principal
gas and oil developer in Kansas. 1t
will be known as the Kansas Oil &
Gas Co., chartered under the laws OF
West Virginia. L. G. Nicely, of st.
Marys, Ohio, is president, c. c. Mel
son, of this city is secretary, and Chas.
Murdoch, of Lafayette, is treasurer.
1t is the intention of the gentlemen to
secure large leases throughout the
Kansas gas belt and move their fac.
tories to the different towns in that
belt from the Ohio and Indiana ga,
fields which are becoming exhausted.
The idea of piping gas outside of the
| field has been abandoned

STRUGGLE AT TIEN TSIN.
Prince Tuan, Chinese General in Chief,
in Command.

Shanghai, June 25.-Prince Tuan
has taken charge, as general-in-chief,
after Diminishing Young La, nephew
of the Emperor, the former command
er in chief. Prince Tuan gave notice
that he would march to Tien Tsin and
sweep out the handful of foreigners
there. AT daylight on the morning of
June 81, he attacked the settlements at
Tien Tsin with artillery and the best
foreign drilled troops.
The Chinese army had about forty
five Krupps. They managed to burn
the United States consulate. The
warehouses and the Standard Oil
Company's premises are believed to
have escaped. Though the situation
is grave, the Chinese have not occu-
pied Tien Tsin.
The latest news from Pekin emanat-
ing from authentic sources is to the
effect that there is no change in the
situation. This is understood to mean
that the legations still hold out. The
Chinese have surrounded them, but do
not dare to make another attack. APP
parently they hope to starve out those
who have taken refuge there.

CAPTURE OF TAKU.
Details Showing That the Battle Was
Hard-FOught One

Shanghai, June 23.-In the bonn
bardment of the Taku forts, the fun
nels and upper works of the German
cruiser Iltis and the Russian war
ships Giljak and Koreentz were much
damaged by the Chinese fire. A mer-
chant steamer belonging to Chinese
company was completely riddled, and
her captain, an Englishman, was
killed. The British sloop of war AL
gerine escaped destruction through
the sudden collapse of searchlight
on one of the forts.
Capt. Haas, commander of the Ger
man cruiser Hits, died afterward of
the wounds he had received.
Additional details regarding the
capture of Taku show that the Rus
sian war-ship Koreentz seeks the
credit of having exploded the maya
zine inside the forts.

The Cemnnt Plnnt.

1t is a continual source of pleasure
to lola people to visit the cement
plant. for the works seems larger at
each visit and there is an air of mag
nitude and business about the place
which is pleasing, The plant has been
partly in operation now for some
time and every Sunday visitors from
town swarm through the works. This
will not last always as already high
iron fence is being preparedto enclose
the entire plant.
The process is simplicity itself to
the sight-seer. A wagon of rock is
dumped into hole and it comes out
about block away cement. The
Jumps are crushed by the slight Earring
of the huge ball in the crusher, with
out apparent effort the big boulders
being cracked into small pebbles. The
noisy and swift Griffin mills crush
these pebbles into powder while
the white dust rises continually
above them. From THE mills
into the long rotaries is but step
and the burned clinker from the
rotaries is carried to the top
of the building and dropped from
shuts to the brick floor. There are
two big piles of these clinkers and at
night these red hot glowing Goals look
very pretty as they fall from above
and roll down the pile. The hardness
of these clinkers is astonishing, a
knife making not even a scratch on
them. In another set of Griffin mills
they are crushed to powder again and
sacked for shipment.
The huge gas engines running like
living, knowing things, the intelligent
bucket belts, the whirring, noisy mills,
the sedate and stately revolving
rotaries with fire belching from every
opening, everything works without q
jolt or a jar, day and night. AND
when one remembers that the part in
operation is one sixth of the proposed
plant, lola people feel mighty good

in the presence of Secretary T.. e.
