Department Expenditures.
Washington, July 4. - Capt. Castle,
the auditor of the. treasury for the

the official estimate that the postal
deficiency fer the fiscal year Just
closed will be s4,617,coS. The deficit
for the previous fiscal year was 81
961 .l7o, This big increase is attributed
to the enormous increase in expend-
itures for the rural free delivery

s134,2GS6O9, and the expenditures
,SS5,S12. The deficiency in the

nitely known beyond the estimate
made weeks ago. The postmaster gen.
erai thought that it would be S227,000

siderably larger than that figure.
