shelled from this HILL which is four

SURPLUS LARGEST
Of RECENT YEARS
Government Record Better Than
Any Recorded Since

WASHINGTON. June $3.50 far as
working, purposes are concerned, the
fiscal year Of the government closed
to-day with a surplus of substantially
ss7,000,000, one of the largest net
balances ever shown. In the fiscal
year 1902 there was surplus OF SOL
2s7,375, but that was the largest since
1890.
While the official figures for the
fiscal year will not be announced I'M
til Monday the figures available to-
day are approximately accurate. They
show that in the year Just closed the
income from the various sources Of
revenue was SG65, 306134 and eXpendi-
lures s57S,376.709, as compared with re-
ceipts Of $594,454,121 for the last fiscal
year and expenditures Of s56s,7S4,799,
the surplus in that year being s25,669,-
1872.
There has been tremendous In
crease In receipts in the year just
closing. while the expenditures have
been only about s10,00O,000 in excess
OF the last year The largest increase
in receipts has been from customs al
though internal revenue has shown a
big gain.
The receipts from the different
sources this fiscal year have been as
follows: Customs. s333.230,126; internal
revenue, s27o,3O9.sss; miscellaneous,
s6l,766,619.
There has been no year in the his
tory OF the country in which the re-
ceipts from customs came within many
millions Of the present year. The re-
ceipts last year held the record up to
that time, and this years income from
that source Is about 100000 In eX-
cess of last year.
Internal revenue receipts likewise
break oil records except during the
Spanish War, when special taxes were
being collected.
