TIE ArGTST SrRPLTS.

The Treasury's August statement, just issued
lays effectually the ghost Of big deficiency in
the national revenues. which has been stalking
through the dreams OF certain Democratic
statesmen eager to find political capital in the
governments failure TO hold its annual expen-
tlitures within the limit OF its annual income.
A month ago, when the deficit of $1.J07.S76 for
July was announced, these pessimistic prophets
shook their heads. and gloomily foretold a sue
eesson of unfavorablc balances. eliminating in
an annual shortage for the year. which they
cautiously estimated at from S30000.000 10
sJoo0o,0o0. The mere process of multiplying
the July deficit by twelve would have shown an
adverse balance of S9o0o0o00 But till another
months returns could come in most of these
lugubrious critics were content TO put the gov
ernraent's net miscaiculation of income and
eufco at about half that sum.
To such discouraged patriots the August bal
snee sheet viii prove sad awakening. For. in
etead of showing another deficit like July's. it
actually exhibits surplEs-and surplus which
practically wipes out Julys unfavorable score
The excess Of revenues over expenditures for
August was 1896 ST. so that for the first sixth
of the fiscal year the Treasurys losing balance
has dwindIed TO but a little over million and
a half Much the same Influences have con-
fribufed to the August surplus as We're ap-
parent in the ITeasurgs operations for July, but
which awaited then merely TO counterbalance
the many exceptional expenditures charged TO
that month. July's expenditures were s56S13-
567: August's were only S42,650.o0o. Receipts
had. therefore. only to maintain themselves on
the July level 20 effect the sudden and crafty
Ing reversal which the August statement shows
AS In July. internal revenue collections for
August decreased materially. a natural re-
suit of the abolition of the remnant of the
emergency taxes laid in 1898. Receipts from
This source were only s17,525,36S against

tections rose TO s2s.5s2.230. against $2f,462. III

How great task it will be 20 put the entire

OIL FUEL IN THE NAVY.

The Navy Department is to continue the tests
Of liquid fuel, but there is much doubt that tic
use will be generally adopted. at least In the
immediate future. Admiral Melville chief of tho
Bureau of Steam Engineering. is satisfied that
oil be burned fuel with facility althousb
the experts have reported that it has not vet
been shown that it be used economically for
naval purposes, but that it can be burned with
perfect safety. The admiral does not believe
that there is any prospect of liquid fuel being
used in the navy in lieu of coal, with the nos
sible exception of small craft as tornado
boats and tugs.
The use Of oil fuel at Mare Island NAVY Yard
for the engines and other machinery on sbora
has been successful that the bills for fuel ,re
40 per cent less than when coal was used aIo,o
The daily consumption in June was about Forty
barrels a day. as against eighty-two barrels q

COLLISIONS on TIE WATER.

A distinguished priest from Italy, q member
Of the Augustinian order. was on board OF the
steamship Liguria when she smashed into
BY the Peconic in our bay There panic
among Storage passengers on the Liguria, but
the ecclesiastic was calm and unrutfed. When
he was asked why he had not been in the least
pcrturbed he said that he had never seen Il
harbor so crowded with vessels, and supposed
that collision Of that kind might be almost
an everyday occurrence.
It cannot be disputed that this hospitable port
is all alive with ships from every sea- but few
of them find the local waters cabined. cribbed,
confined. It is a great city, with such broad
spaces on every hand from Sandy Hook, in the
Lower Bay on both sides of Staten Island, in
the Upper Bay in the Hudson River to the end
of navigation in the East River aud in Long
Island Sound that there is room and verge
enough for every hull ever launched since Noah
built the Ark. In the waters within easy reach
of the Battery.
Nevertheless, the fleets of to-day which have
sional TO the spacious areas of the watery
plains that are tributary TO this capital are so
large and so impressive that the Italian dien-
tary may well be excused for thinking that col
lisions hereabouts took place at short inter
walls that they were little regarded We can
fairly assure him, however, that he jumped 10
a conclusion too hastily. The pilots Of the
fiotillas of this centre OF commerce are with
few exceptions competent men of extensive ex-
perience. They do not slip into many grave
bunders and collisions of any moment are NOT
affairs of daily record

a AFRICAN BLUE BOOK
SHOWS THAT CHAMBERLAIN
AGREED TO PROPOSAL FOR
BROTHERLY LOVE
COUNCIL.

London, July ga South African
blue book, which has just been issued,
shows that Joseph Chamberlain, the
colonial secretary, consented to the
proposal made Lord Miner, British
high comm issioner in South Africa, to
take advantage of the good feeling
prevailing between the Dutch and
the British to mike immediate an.
nouncement that the legislative coun-
ellis Of the new colonies, the Transvaal
and the Orange River, shall be enlarg-
ed by the addition of non official mem
bers and that the enlarged councils
meet as early as possible, the month
Of September being suggested for this
purpose. Lord Miner, it is learned
from the blue book, admits that he
previously believed such early legis-
lative cooperation between the two
nationalities to be impossible.
