From all sources, exclusive of the
postal service, the receipts of the gov
eminent for the last fiscal year aggre-
gated $5G0,396,674. The expenditures
for the same period were S5O6. O99. OO7,
the surplus for the fiscal year being
S54,291 ,66I. The indications are that
the surplus for the present fiscal year
Will be very small, if indeed there be
any surplus. From July to November
the receipts from customs were, ap-
proximately, 100000 less than the
receipts from the same source for
corresponding portion last year. Should
this decrease continue at the same ra-
ito throughout the fiscal year the sur
plus would be reduced by. approx

Attempted Assassination Was

pear observation-disclosures i
the Fleet Anyway
,By Associated Press,

CONsTANT1NOPLO, September 1.-The
Porte has notified Minister Le!shman that
i've arrests have been made at Beirut IN
connection with the shooting which LED
to the report that William G. Magelssen',
the United States vice and deputy consul
there, had been assasslnated.
The Turkish officials continue to insist
that no attempt was made on the vice
%consul's llfe> and they reassert that the
whole story originated In q feudJoie hred
or the occasion OF native marriage,
and In accordance with custom
Mr.. Leshman, however. refuses to ac-
cept such an explanation without con
elusive proof. The judicial investigation
continues. 3;Sai u. A n
n The attempt to burn the American col
lege at Kharput occurred Ave weeks ago,
and a pparently was tho work OF an lndi-
yIdual who considered he had a grievance
against the college authorities. When Mr..
Leishman was Informed OF the attempt
he demanded that the Porte protect the
Am eri can insti tuition, and in consequence
or his represen tations instructions were
sent to the authorities at Kharput to try
in the regular courts the charges against
fifty Armenlans accused of traftlcting In
arms and engaging In other seditous
acts. Among the accused is Professor
Tenekedjian, &of the American College,
whose treatment in prison pending his
trial was a $50 ordered to be improved.
PRESSES FOR SUPPLEMENT-.
Mr. Leishman Is pressing for definite
settlement OF number OF matters on
which agreements were reached with the
Turkish authorities last year, and which,.
In spite Of frequent promises on the part
Of the Porte, have never been executed.
For instance naturalized American Is
still In prison at Tripoli Syria, although
the Porte has frequently informed Mr..
Lelshman that the authorities at Beirut,
who have Jurisdiction over Tripoli had
been ordered to liberia to him.
The American f1cials here attribute
tho dispatch OF the warships to Turkish
waters not solely to the Magelessen af-
fair, but to the general dissatisfaction Of
the authorities at Washington at the nom
fulfllment of the Porte's promises in re-
gard to pending questions, and to the
determination Of president Roosevelt5to
show Turkey that she cannot trifle with
American representations. Diplomatic
circles here generally approve OF the ener-
getio action Of the United States, which,
it is pointed out, Is amply Justified by the
bad faith Of Turkey, and 1t is felt here
that the appearance OF the United States
warships In Turkish waters will lead to
the Immediate settlement OF the pending
| disputes Nothing SO impresses the Porte
! as a naval demonstration.
