and general excitement prevailed In
Richmond yesterday. The water In
the James river rose 23h feet, within
four feet OF the level OF the great
freshet OF 1877. Lower Main street
and a greater part Of Fulton. the ex-
IRENE eastern section OF the city, were
flooded. When the freshet was near
It's height, FIRE. caused by the waters
coming in contact with lime, broke cut
in the plant OF Warner, Moore & Co,
Aillers and feed supply men. The
property is situated on the creeks OF
the flooded district, and at one time
1t seemed inevitable that It would be
destroyed, but a change of wind and
the splendid work OF the FIRE depart
ment averted that. The hose were
carried over a line OF partially sub
merged zeal ears and bueyed on RATS
made OF small boats. The fremen
fought the flames standing up to their
waists Ia water. 1t is estimated that
the occupants Of some zoo small
houses on this and the Manchester
sides Of the river had to vacate tenn
porarily. The gas works are partially
under water and the gas supply il
cut OF. This condition seriously Grip
pies the newspapers, as the metal for
their linotype machines is heated by

THR NATIONS FINANCES
Secretary Gage Says Treasury
Shows Great Strength.
SURPLUS REACHES s1oo,ooo,ooo

Secretary Of Treasury Reviews FInen-
elal Situation at Close Of Year-Na-
tionaI Debt Reduced by Nearly
$50 100000.
Washington, Jan 1.-The treasury
Is in a condition Of unexampled
strength" said Secretary Gage, when
asked to review briefly the treasury
situation at the close OF the year.
"Only q month ago, in my annual
report to congress, / reviewed these
conditions. The figures for the last
month have made little change. For
the calendar year we show receipts
In excess Of the ordinary expenditures
amounting roundly to 500, 900 900.
Such an excess might have resulted
in serious embarrassment had not the
department been able by means OF this
surplus to reduce the public debt in
large amounts. Since April last, the
treasury has redeemed and Cancelled
United States bonds to the par value
Of $5s.714.7OO, which have been ap-
piled to the sinking fund, and the dis
bursement resulting therefrom was
$72,226,S45. The available cash on
hand is therefore only about $40, O0O,-
600 larger than the amount held a
year ago.
Comparing the situation as It Is
today with April 1, 1897, the result is
most gratifying. On the latter day
the treasury held money OF all kinds
to the amount OF $3.50, S73, 900, includ-
ing s100,000,00o as a gold reserve,
leaving therefore $150,000,0o0 as a
cash balance. Today in money OF all
kinds the treasury holds 1896, esq 900,
and IL we deduct the $3.50, 1000, 600 now
held as a gold reserve, the balance
stands at S146, 900, 900, or 100000
less than 1t was April 1, 1897. 1t will
be seen therefore that substantial
equilibrium has been maintained.
There has been a very material in
crease in the volume OF money in cir
culetion since March 1, 1897, as well
as In the amount per capita. The vol
ume Of money on that date, outside
the treasury, was $1,675, 694,953, and
the amount per capita was 1924. On
the list of December last the amount
Of money outside the treasury was
$2,250, 256,230, and the amount per
capita was s2S.73. The increase in
amount, therefore, was 1914, SCI, 277,
and the increase per capita was $3.50"
