LIVE WASHINGTON AFFAIRS.
No Surplus This Year.

For the first time in five years the
Government will be confronted by q
deficit at the close of the present fs.
cal year, which will end on June &C
next. Secretary Shaw, in his annual
report to Congress last December
declared his belief that there would
be surplus of $I4,ooo,ooo in the
Treasury at the end Of the present
year. The fiscal experts of the Gov
crnment hesitate about making state.
mcnts for publication. but privately
admit that the Secretary shot wide
of the mark. The deficit will be due
to decreased Federal receipts, in.
creased Government expenditures, es.
pecially for the military establish.
ment: the $5o.ooo,ooo payment on the
purchase OF the Panama canal prop.
crty and the appropriation OF $4,ooo,'
900 for the St. Louis Exposition.
For II months of the present year
the total receipts of the Government
have been $4o3, ,3oo,23o and the total
expenditures $545, 265. .,36S, or dehci'
of S5T,oo5,l;,S for the II months o.
the present fiscal year. Compared
with the Treasury statement of May
81, 1903, the above figures are ex
ceedingly interesting. For the II
months ended May 81. 1909. the re
ceipts Of the Government were $50,
533.47I and the expenditures SAL,
524S55, leaving the Government will
a surplus of $3S,o4S,oTo on that day.
1t is pointed out by the officials
the Treasury that much OF the short
age this year has been due to tn,
Panama Canal avd ST. Louis Exposi
zion expenditures and that if thi
total of $54,6oo,ooo were deducte'
from the expense account OF the Co
crnment there would be a surplus
$2,334,6II for the first II months
the current year. as against a sur
plus OF S3S,046,o19 for the same periot
a year ago.
As compared with year ago. tn
receipts OF this fiscal year have fallel
off about SI7ooo,ooo, and the expcndi
turcS for ordinary purposes have III
creased about 2,,ooc 900 lncludini

lures the expenditures are S75,ooo,oo
greater than a year ago.
