TREASURY STATEMENT.
Surplus of $4,000 Accumulated in
February.

The monthly statement of the receipts and
expenditures of the Treasury Department
show that IN February the income of the
government was $40 500, 406 and the expendi-
lures 81, 654.772. a surplus of something
over So, 100000. For the eight months of the
present fiscal year the total receipts have
been S365.321,249 and the expenditures $780,
4:S $50, showing a surplus in the neighbor-
hood of S5,000,0c0
For the same period of the last fiscal year
the total receipts We're 1911, 657 1856 and the
expenditures $344, 276, $50. a surplus of 49,
0S1 .371. There has will be seen, large
falling off in receipts this fiscal year and
a large increase in expenditures. The Gus
toms receipts have dwindled S20,OOO.OG0
compared with the eight months of the last
fiscal year. Internal revenue however,
shows an increase of something like 81,
600 900.
For February the receipts from the diff
ferent sources have been as follows: Gus
tens. s2o.974 $40, against s21, 1917 S1 one
year ago; internal revenue, S1S,G67 .921, as
compared with s16,o16066; miscellaneous,
81 O32. S35.
The items in which there have been the
largest increase during the fiscal year are
for the navy and civil and miscellaneous.
The expenditures on account of the navy
for the eight months just past have been
$68 122,0S against $500, 227. This ac-
counts for much of the total increase in
the expenditures during the year.

tons have resulted in whole or in part
from any contract, combination in the
form of trusts or otherwise, or conspiracy
in restraint of commerce among the several
states and territories, or with foreign coun-
tries; also whether the said prices have
been controlled in whole or in part
by any corporation. joint stock COM
pany or corporate combination en-
gagged in commerce among the several
states or with foreign nations; and If SO to
investigate the organization, capitalization,
profit conduct and management of the
business of such corporations, companies
and corporate combinations and to make
early reports of his findings as provided by
law"

rotary to submit the result of his inves,i-
CATION to the House. This was amended to-
day to authorize him to make his report
las provided by law" The law under

cations to the President of the United

public.
Mr.. Martin has in his possession consid-
cradle information bearing on the subject
OF the resolution. and is very anxious that
the operations of the so-called beef trust
shall be investigated and brought to light.
