LESSONSOFTHE ~FISCALYEAR

The fiscal year was ended at mid
night of last Tuesday, and the figures
of imports and exports are not yet at
hand, but it is believed the imports,
will be about one billion and twenty
million dollars, while the exports
Will foot up one billion four hundred
and twenty million dollars, showing
an excess in our favor of about four
hundred million dollars. Such a Ia
Vorable balance of trade is very cred
liable and very satisfactory, and also
much needed, for between tourists
and freight money it is quickly dis
sipated, and there is not much gold
coming to us. It, however, prevents
the shipment of gold, thus enabling
us to retain to a great extent what
we dig out of the earth.
1t is of course fegrettable that
Dingleyism is operating to lessen
steadily the balance of trade in our
favor. The excess of exports over
imports has fallen from about seven
hundred millions to four hundred
millions, and the tendency is to still
lower figures. A bad crop year un-.
der the crippling trade effects of the
Dingley tariff may yet give us an un-
favorable balance of trade. This will
assuredly be the result unless Ding
leyism is rel called, and our manufac-
turers are enabled to seek a wider
trade in all parts of the world.
The treasury surplus of the year is
but ffty-two million dollars, as
against ninety-one millions in the
previous year. The decrease was
chiefly due to extravagant expendi-
lures on the part of the government,
for the total revenue last year was
but three millions less than the reve-
nue. Of the year before. The expen-
ditures in the year just ended were
$500, 176, $50, as against $471, 100, 1858
in the previous year. This tells the
whole story of governmental extrav-
agance. On account of the high ex-
penditures the bonded debt was re-
duced during the fiscal year Just
ended but $16. 529, 900. At this rate
the national debt will stay with us a
long time, especially if the present
scale of expenditures be maintained.

DISCUSS FIRE INSURANCE.
Local Agents in Annual Convention at
Raleigh Hotel

Local Agents in Annual Convention at
Raleigh Hotel.
The annual meeting of the Virginia Asso-
citation of Local Fire Insurance Agents
convened in the Raleigh Hotel this after
noon. with about forty members in at
tendance. President w. L. Childrey of
Norfolk presided over the session. which
was held behind closed doors, and Mr.. H.
H. Trice, also Of Norfolk, acted as secre-
tary.
Following the formal call to order the
preliminaries incident to the opening of the
convention were disposed of, after which
matters of interest to the membership were
taken up for consideration. The meeting
will continue through tomorrow, when final
adjournment will take place.
One Of the important matters to come be-
fore the convention. 1t is stated. will be the
consideration of plan for securing in
creased commissions for the local agents. 1t
it also expected that the appointment of
special committee will be requested, the
duties of which will be to wait upon the
members of the general assembly of Vir-
ginia with the idea of securing the passage
of a bill creating a proper department of
insurance for the state of Virginia.
With regard to the subject of securing in
creased commissions for the local agents,
President Childrey in announcing the an
nual meeting to the members Of the asso-
citation, said:
at is my intention to lay before the asso-
citation proposition to ask our companies
to increase the commission paid us. 1
think we are justly entitled to better COM
pensation than that we are now receiving
for our work. Whether the increase we ask
for be in the way of a fiat commission,
contingent commission or graded commits
sions, it is for the agents to say, but to
make our application effective, it is neces-
sary that there should be a large number
of agents present to act upon the question.

FOR INTERMENT HERE.
Remains of John D. Fitzpatrick to b
Brought to Washington.

The remains of John D. Fitzpatrick, a
young man who was found dead with a
bullet wound in his heart in his apartments
at the Martinique, in New York city, Mon
day morning, will be sent to this city for
burial. The death of the man is surrounded
In mystery, and while some inclined to
believe that Fitzpatrick took his own life,
others are of the opinion that he was the
victim of foul play.
Among some of the theories advanced for
possible cause of suicide were that he
had lost considerable money in the recent
stock fluctuations, or that he committed
the act on account of ill-health. Both have
been disproved, as 1t was learned that the
young man had considerable sums of money
at his command, and that instead of losing
money he had really enlarged his capital.
The result of an autopsy performed upon
the remains showed that every organ of
the body was in perfect condition, SO 1t
was hardly likely that the act was self
committed on account of illness
The body was found after a search by a
chum, Charles Lindley, recent graduate
of Yale on the morning mentioned. Lind
ley 1t is stated, was so distracted by the
discovery that after informing the authOri-
ties of the death he left New York
The coroner Is strongly of the opinion
that death was not due to suicide, because
the pistol with which the act was commit
ted was found on the left side Of the body,
and the clothing was not burned by the
powder. which ordinarily would have re-
suited in case of suicide.

HAD TO MAKE WELL DEEPER
Congress Will Be Asked for Appropria.
ton for the Work.

The we'll at the new Congress Heights
fire engine house, recently placed in COM
mission, has given District officials much
concern. The well was driven to a depth
many feet in excess of the original con-
tract with the builders of the house.
Recently test was made and the electric
pump worked for more than thirty minutes
without bringing water to the surface 1t
has been found necessary to drive the well
to a still greater depth. varying from 100 to
200 feet, in order to reach the water STRAIT
UNI that is tapped by the wells at ST. Eliza
beth Asylum.
The matter of securing money for this
work has been placed before the Commits
sioners. 1t was thought the appropriation
for repairs and improvements to engine
houses might be applicable.
This fund, however. has already been al
Iotted. and it has been decided to wait until
Congress meets. when an emergency ap-
preparation will be asked. Meantime the
house will be supplied by water in tanks
and barrels.

OBJECTS TO A SALOON.
DR.. Gallaudet Gives His Reasons in
Letter to Commissioners.

DIR. E. M. Gallaudet, president Of the Gal
laudet College at Kendall Green, has writ
ten to the Commissioners stating that he
has been informed that an application is
pending before the excise board for the
opening of a saloon at 7th and H streets
northeast.
"Some two years ago." DR.. Gallaudet says
IAN effort was made to procure a license
for this locality. At that time very earnest
protests were presented by many on Ken
dali Green and other residents in the
vicinity against the granting of such a
license, and 1t was not granted.
1.-The reasons which then existed for the
denial of the license to open a saloon at
that place are strong now as they were
then. 1 consider 1t would be deplorable to
allow drinking saloon to be opened at
that corner.
Its effect on the locality there would be
very depressing. There are public schools
very near the place, and the corner is con-
stantly passed by persons connected with
Gallaudet College"
The Commissioners have noted the protest.
