Treasury in Condition of I'm
exampled Strength.
TO THE GOOD
This Is Over and Above Ordinary Elk
penditures for the Year-Secretary
Gage Talks of the Condition of the
United States Revenues.

Washington, Dec. 31.--"The treasury
is in condition of unexampled
strength" said Secretary Gage today,
when asked to review briefly the treas
ury situation at the close of the year.
Only one month ago in my annual
report to congress | reviewed these
conditions. Figures for the last month
have made but little change. For the
calendar year We show receipts in eX-
cess of ordinary expenditures amount
ing roundly to S100,000.000. Such an
excess might have resulted in serious
embarrassment had not the department
been able by means of this surplus to
reduce the public dept in large
amounts. Since April /, last, the
treasury has redeemed and cancelled
United States bonds to the par value
of $5S,714,7O0, which has been applied
to a sinking fund, and the disburse-
ment resulting therefrom was $72,226,-
S45. The available cash on hand is
only about $30,000,000 larger than the
amount held one year ago"
Situation Compared.
Comparing the situation as it is
today with April /, 1897, the result is
most gratifying. On, the latter day
the treasury held money of all kinds
to the amount of S250,S73,000, includ-
ing $100,000,000 as gold reserve leav-
ing therefore $150000.000 as cash
balance. Today in money of all kinds
the treasurer holds $296,S59, 900, and if
deduct S150,000,000 now held as gold
hn hole cta do OF C1Ie
100000 or $4,000,000 less than it was
April /, 1897.
1t will be seen therefore substan-
tial equilibrium has been maintained
Increase Is Large.
There has been a very material
increase in the volume of money in
circulation since MasSA J.. 1ss97 4 as
f@ell as iii the amount per capita. The
volume of money on that date. outside
of the treasury, was S1,675,694, 953 and
the amount per capita was $23.14
t.On December last, the amount OF
money outside the treasury was So,
250,256 .23O, and amount per capita
was $2S.73 The increase in the
amount therefore, is $574 SCI ,277, ant
the increase per capita is $3.50.
Gold Coin Increases.
THE amount of gold coin and colo
certificates in circulation increased
from $3.50 .S60,515 on March /. 1897, tt
s914,300,0S9. December /, last Ever.
other kind of money in circulation i.
greater in amount now than on Marcel
III, 1897, with the single exception o
treasury notes, act of July IA, 1890
| THE amount of these in circulation DE
cember l., was only $40012.622 al
against SS5,546.6 Cpl, March /, 1897. Thi
reduction in volume grows out of thu
natural operation of the act of July IA
1880, and the act Of March IA, 1900
Bank Notes Increase.
4 The increase in amount Of nationa
bank notes in circulation during tn
period in question was $132.132,731
This increase is mainly attributable t

SMART DETECTIVE.
How lie Captured a Thief OF Larg,
Proportions.

a clever detective one day found
himself in group listening 10 a man
selling silver watches for three shil.
lings each.
The officer bought one, and, having
assured himself that it was genuine,
came 10 the not unnatural conclusion
that the articles were stolen.
The vendor was, however, a giant,
and the detective was BY no mean.
blessed with large proportions. lie
furthermore argued that there were
eonfedeTatcs among the group.
He formed a plan. lie asked the
man to have 4 glass Of beer, saying
that he mean; to purchase another
watch.
The offer was accepted and see,
ond watch was rendered, which the Of.
iicer pretended to examine. lie, how.
ever, suddenly took TO his heels, watch
in hand. Thoreupon the other pur.
sued, crying: stop thief"
When the willy detective got as far
as the police station he stopped short
Us if dead beat, and allowed himself to
be captured by the watch vendor, who
Immediately took his prisoner inside
the station. His astonishment NAV
be better imagined than described
when he found the door suddenly
closed to and a charge of stealing ar.
ticles entered against himself. lie
had literally run into a den Of lions.
