EXCESS OF EXPENDITURES
Government Running at a Loss, But situation Win soon Equal
 ixe Itself.

Washington, July 22.-For the first 20 days of the present month the treas ury deficit has reached an amount in excess of one-half the whole deficit for the last fiscal year The deficit at ths close of business July 20 reached $15.- 35S.23529. This deficit is shown in the daily treasury statement under the item excess of expenditures over re- ceipts this fiscal year
 Counting cut Sundays and legal hol- idays. it would appear that the gov ernment is operating at a loss of sl.- 00000 per day. This, however, does Lot create the interest. aud has noth- ing of the sensationalism in it that might be supposed. Every year. imme- diateiy after July 1, there is rush on the treasury and a great drain on it's resources. This grows out Of the fact that on the first day Of the fiscal year the appropriations made by the last congress become available.
 The situation will equalize itself be- fore the close of the year.

Early corn has improved. is doing well and generally is more promising; the late planted is general ly in poor condition from lack of cul- tiyation and too much moisture Wheat and oats have been injured in shock from rain. Irish potatoes are gener- ally fair to good and sweet potatoes ara doing well. Apples continue to drop and the indications are for a light crop of apples and a fair crop of peaches of inferior quality.

Long Tunnels in Arkansas.

most difficult piece of railroad tunneling is being brought to a com pletion on the White River railroad, twenty miles north of Harrison. The work in question is known as the Omaha tunnel. Its total length is 3.l80 feet. The Turkey creek tunnel, three miles beyond. is 3,400 feet long, but 1t was through solid rock, and has been completed several months, and at far less cost The greater portion of the Omaha tunnel appears in time to have been an old waterway. filled with sticky mud, or muck, and bould- ers that could not be blasted. and was very hard to penetrate with pick and shovel. The excavation, however, has. after two and one-half years working day and night, been com pleted and now the nature of the ground makes it necessary to con- crete the greater portion of it. To do this. it becomes necessary to cut out every timber used for supports while the excavating was being done, to give sufficient volume or body to the concrete. which is from two to six feet thick on the sides. and from three 10 four feet thick overhead In addi- ton to the concrete overhead there Is a network of iron bars or supports for the concrete To make the work in the tunnel worse. number of strong springs were encountered, which made it necessary to have an l8inch pipe to carry the water from ths tunnel
