RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES.
This Months Statement Will Show a
Deficit of $4,000. 900.

The monthly statement of the govern
ment receipts and expenditures, which will
be issued by the Treasury Department next
Tuesday, August ], will show the receipts
for July, 1905. to have been approximately
$40. 10000. and the expenditures about s62,-
s60O0O, leaving deficit for the mouth Of
$13, 6S0OOO. This is a good showing, as
compared with the figures for July last
year. when the deficit was SIT 800, 600
There were no extraordinary receipts or
expenditures In July, 1904, and none will
appear In this months figures. This very
large reduction in the July deficit Is ac
counted for by the material increase in
the receipts both from customs and inter
nal revenue sources, and a slight decrease
In expenditures. The receipts from GUS
toms this month will exceed those for
July last year by about S2,O000OO, and
from internal revenue the gain will be ABOUT
100000. The miscellaneous receipts will
be about the same this month as for July
last year. The decrease in the expendi-
lures this month probably will be about
81 100000. The receipts this month will
include a payment of about 49, 100000 from
The Southern Pacific Railroad Company on
account of its thirteenth semi-annual note
due the government August 1. Last
July there was similar payment from
this company. The treasury officials re-
gard the showing this month with salts
faction and point to the S2,O00,0O0 increase
In customs receipts as an indication of a
large increase in business during the re-
mainder of the year.

THE RUSSIAN PRESS
Tone Grows More 'Warlike on
Eve of Peace Farley.
SIGNIFICANT COMMENT
GOVERNMENT URGED TO RESIST
ALL HUMILIATING DEMANDS.
This Course Advised Even at the Cost
Of Continuing the War
Kaiser for Peace.
SIGNIFICANT COMMENT

ST PETERSBURG, July 29.-The tone OF
the Russian press grows more warlike as
the peace conference draws nigh and the
government on all sides is urged to resist
humiliating demands, even at the cost of
continuing the war. peace on the Japa-
nese terms as outlined by Mr.. Sato.' says
the Russ. which is the first paper to COM
ment seriously on the Sato interview, "can
only be an armistice."
Tho Russ which has now the largest Hb-
eral following. finds the Japanese demands
far from moderate, and sees little chance
of the conference ending successfully, II Mr..
Sato has correctly stated the japanese posi-
ton. but 1t appears to believe that Baron
Komura's spokesman is acting ION his own
responsibility" or scents possible bluff to
pave the way for the acceptance OF actual
and more moderate terms by Japan.
The Sviet continues its fault-finding with
the "tactlessness of the visit of Secretary
of War Taft and Miss Alice Roosevelt to
Japan while the United States is the host
OF the peace plenipotentiaries."

RECENT ORDERS HELD UP.
Changes in Stations Of General Of
ficers Suspended.

At the suggestion OF President Roosevelt,
the recent orders OF the War Department
changing the stations of Brigadier Gen.
erals Carter. Buchanan, Edgerly and Bliss
have been held up for few days pending
a possible rearrangement of the assign
ments. 1t is stated at the War Department
that there is no "squabble'' over these as
signments and that the temporary suspen-
sion of the orders in no way change nor
does 1t affect The order previously issued
assigning Brigadier General Thomas H.
Barry to the general staff and his detail
to the presidency of the Army War College
board. That matter has been finally and
amicably settled.
A condition of affairs has unexpectedly
arisen which may necessitate the continu-
ance of General Carter on duty in the Phil
ippines for a longer period than had been
contemplated, and consequently 1t was
found expedient to suspend his orders to
come home and take command of the De-
partment of the Lakes. He has been in
the Philippines little over year. The
change in that case necessarily involved
q change in the other proposed assign
ments to commands. All the officers af-
fected are in the Philippines and a slight
delay in rearranging the assignments will
cause neither them nor the War Depart
ment the least embarrassment or incon-
venience.

 The increased output of the coal mines and the demand for ore by the big fur naces will also require more cars. The prospects are that the tonnage of July will be much greater than any previous month since Ensley became city.

He was greatly surprised. on alight- ing from his train in the Pennsylvania railroad station, Co meet man who said he was Charley Johnson formerly or Muskegon, and who also Knew Swanson s son Charles. Swanson did not remember Johnson. but he decided that if the stran-
 ger knew Charles 1t must be all right. Johnson led Swanson to the city hall, | and there borrowed $50 to make up the | amount of his tax bill, which he was to | repay as soon as he could get cneck | cashed at a saloon across the street, Johnson went into the city hall on the Montgomery street side. swanson waited patiently until Police Sergeant Howell | asked him If he wanted to see any one. Swanson said he was waiting for Johnson and explained why.
 Don't they have newspapers where you live?" asked Sergeant Howell.
 "They have," said Swanson "but l
 never read 'em."
 Take my advice" said Howell; "buy a
 couple of hundred old ones and give up a
 month to studying them before you ven ture away from home alone again."
 The police put Swanson on a train for Deckertown and asked the conductor not to let any one talk to him on the way. But the frauds proved to have existed in this city were as nothing to the con-
 ditions known to exist in both New York and Chicago. where democratic bosses have long perpetuated their power through the ascendency of the machines over men, who, after being. in the majority of cases,
 decoyed into the commission or an Illegal
