Last Fiscal Years Big Figures.

The report of the treasury depart
ment for the past fiscal year contains
some interesting figures, which indi-
cate something Of the ma nitude o.
Uncle Sans official business. AS was
anticipated, the treasury surplus passes
the $75,OO0,OOO mark. The excess of re
ceipts over expenditures amounted to
just $75,S64,999, which IS within 81
100000 Of the amount recorded for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1900 r
The aggregate receipts for the II
months just ended amounted to $685.
848, 300, which represents an increase
Of over $16,800,00O as compared with
the preceding fiscal year. Of this in
crease the largest share is credited to
internal revenue, which constitutes the
heaviest general item in receipts. The
revenue from this source amounted to-
$500, 40, which was over $9,2OO,OOO
in excess of that for the preceding fs-
tai year. Customs receipts come next
in order, with total Of $23S, 7S6, TAI,
an increase Of $4,9OO,0OO as compared
with the year preceding. Miscellaneous
receipts also contributed share to-
ward the general increase. They
amounted to $41,547,157, a gain of over
$2,700,000 as compared with the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1900
Tho total oxpopd;t,,roo e., +Lo e.,,1
year amounted to $500, $40, which
was over 100000 in excess of those
for the year ending in June, 1900. The
civil and miscellaneous expenditures
amounted to $122, 31O,435, an increase
of over $16,50O,0o0 as compared with
the fiscal year preceding. The expend-
itures on account Of the war depart
ment amounted to $144,62O,59O, a gain
Of not far from $1O,OOO,O0O over the fig
ures for the fiscal year 1900. Expend-
itures on account Of the navy amount
ed to $60,515 1857, an increase of over
$4,40O,000. The expenditures for the
Indians were S10,S96,007, an augmen-
tation of not far from $73OOO0. De-
creases are noted under the heads of
pensions and interest. The former
item called for an expenditure during
the year of $3.50, 1923, 439, a falling off
Of a little over $1,5OO,OOO, while ex-
penditures on account of interest
amounted to 2,317 ,4O2, a decrease of
over $7,80O,O00.
The cash balance in the treasury
amounted at the end of the fiscal year
to $32G,S33, 124, while the net public
debt at the same time was 81 ,O44, $780,
120. A reduction Of over $36,3O0,O0O
was made in the bonded debt during
the year. The reduction of revenue
taxation, which went into effect at the
beginning of the new fiscal year, will
unquestionably decrease the surplus
for the next year considerably, but a
substantial excess should be found on
the side Of the receipts at the end Of
the year.

The British naval programme just
announced does not seem so very i'm
posing, consisting, as it does, Of three
battleships and six cruisers. But its
extent is limited by the fact that pre-
vious construction authorized has so
crowded the shipyards of England that
it is announced as progress that a Wig
orous effort will be made to catch up
with the old work.

At last the sultan of Turkey has paid
the American indemnity claims which
this government has so long been try
ing to collect. The Ottoman draft for
$4,000 is now in Washington, and
funds have been placed in the Imperial
bank at Constantinople to meet it, The
sultan himself recognized the business
Of the claims and made numerous
promises to pay them, but upon one
pretext or another put off the day of
settlement. 1t is to the credit of our
government that we have at last been
able to collect the bill through the ex-
ercise Of a proper amount of firmness
and persistency, but without any actual
interposition Of force. There are Euro
pean claims against Turkey Which are
practically on the same footing as ours
and which have not yet been paid, but
that is none Of our concern Happily
we are outside the European entangle-
ments and chickering's which make it
possible for the slippery Turks to
"stand off" some of the other credit
ors.

The advice, "Don't be a clam" is ap-
plicable to most cases. but it doesn't
apply to the kind Of clam devised by a
Michigan chemist. This genius takes
a common clam and instills in it's shell
some little hard substance, the nature
Of which he is secretive about. Then
he puts the clam back into the water
and sand, and at the end of three years
or so it can be dug up and will be
found to contain pearl Of the greatest
beauty. He has 5000 pearls now
forming.

Irvine,s Intensity,

The piercing eyes and intense ex-
preston of Henry Irving once had the
effect of making a fellow actor alto
gether forget that he was on the stage
at all. 1t occurred in Manchester dur

in the scene where Macbeth says to one
of the murderers, there's blood upon
thy facew Irving put so much earnest
ness into his words that the murderer
forgot his proper answer Cs'Tis Ban

voice: us there? Great Scott! He
fancied, as he afterward said, that he

While Americans can boast that in
Arizona the official thermometer has
been known to rise to 119 degrees, yet
the French weather stations on the

that there are some things in which
we do not lead the world. For this

Trolley Roads as Freight Carriers.

Trolley Roads as Freight Carriers.
The Iron Age thinks that immense
advantages would follow the develop
ment of the trolley road into freight
carrying and distributing agency. It
cites the Cleveland and Eastern rail
road, an electric system connecting
Cleveland with certain populous sub
urban towns, as being probably the
first to demonstrate the value of a
freight traffic as an important source Of
revenue to trolley system. It operates
about go miles of track and was origi-
nally designed exclusively for passen-
ger service. It first discovered an adj
vantage in rendering the people along
it's extensive lines a service in taking
milk to the city and returning the cans.
A freight car for milk was built and
run at night. It paid so well that an
other was added. Then combination
cars were built, with passenger accom-
modations at one end and compart-
ments at the other for light freight and
express matter. The requirements
gradually grew to include the carriage
of coal, agricultural implements, fer
tilizers, groceries and general mer-
chandise one way and milk, vegeta-
bles and all kinds of farm and garden
produce the other way. The system is
still new, but about one-third the earn
ings of the line come from it's freight
service. Incidentally it is benefited by
the increase of its passenger traffic
both ways. The suburbs it reaches are
building up rapidly, and it is making
its franchise of great value by render
ing the public an important service.
These facts are extremely significant,
both from the point Of view of the pub
lie and the traction companies. The
immense expansion Of the trolley sys-
TEN Of the United States, if utilized to
effect the exchanges Of freights be-
tween the districts they connect, will
amount to an addition to the Transport
tation facilities Of the country which
will bring about great economic
changes of benefit to all classes of seci-
ETY.. They are in position to render
services worth many hundreds of mil
lions annually, with material additions
to their net earnings. 1t is scarcely
probable that they will long hesitate
to follow the lead of their obvious de-
velopment in the light Of the success

fright on" is the watchword heard
In the Boer laagers as the South Afri-
can war enters the last quarter of the
second year. It is evident that there
are to be no voluntary general submis-
sions, that there are to be no further
genuine peace negotiations and that
there is to be no effective intervention
from the outside. There are stronger
indications than ever that it is to be a
fight to the finish. The war Of England
against the two republics seems des-
tined to 60 on until it ends either in
their independence or the extermina-
ton Of their population. Evidently
there will be no peace in South Africa
until the flags Of the Transvaal and the
Orange Free State fly with sovereign
title over the veldt or until every
burgher is dead or his person is COM
pletely in the power Of the British ar
my. 1t is literally a struggle to the
death, and the picture is one not pleas
ant to contemplate.
Whether authentic or otherwise, the
report that Lord Rosebery is to marry

several particulars Lord Rosebery has

which might be supposed to hem in a
mere Scottish nobleman Of the modest
name Of Primrose. The world is famil-
lar with his realization of his three
ambitions-to marry the richest heiress
in the kingdom, to win the Derby and
be prime minister. Now, if report says
truly, he will become member Of the
royal family Of Great Britain and STEP
father Of the reigning Duke of SAKE
Coburg- Gotha. Lord Rosebery is man
Of ability, character and deserved prom
inence, and the British royal house
would be none the worse for his admis-
sion into it.
