Greatest Of Any Year since the
Civil War-Dcfciency in
Postal Revenues.

Washington. June 2S.-The forthcoming
statement Of the treasury receipts and
expenditures for the fiscal year ending
June 80. 1908. will show q marked fallin z
off In the receipts as compared with the
year 1907. and n large increase in the G. :
penditurcs. The excess of expenditures
mate 5000 o 900, which has been exceeded
only twice since the Civil War. In 1894
there was a deficit of 500. 500. LOO and In
1899 there was another of Il little over
100000 and in each of the four inter
vening years the receipts fell consider
ably below the disbursements. Again ir
1904 and in 1906 there were shortages o!
Sal, 10, CO.. and &23, 900. 100 respectively.
The total receipts this year will be
shown to have been about 1896. 10000. o,
ss4. 600. coo less than for the fiscal yea!
1907. Customs receipts will be shown &c
have fallen off about $780, ON. eco from those
of 1907, while the receipts from interna
revenue sources will be short nearl,
sl9, 00o.0 600. Miscellaneous receipts vii
| show a slight gain.
The disbursements for the year vii
be shown to have aggregated about $3.50.
| co.., 900 or $50, OO. OO more than for 1917
and $4.OOO,m more thar for any other
year since 1865. not excepting the
Spanish War period. Although these in
creased disbursement arc very genera
and are showing in nearly every accoun'
except that Of interest on the public deb
some Of the heaviest of them were fo1
important permanent improvements.
The Panama canal during the closing
year will have cost the government S2S.
oOo. 900 as against $27 900, 90 for the yea
1907. and the work this year in connection
with the reclamation of the public lands
will be shown to have cost about S13. coo,
OO which Is not far FROM last year
figures.
The deficiency In the postal revenues
for the present year will probably reacl
s13, 600. 600, as against $7.5OO,0o for 1870
making a difference Of $6,OO0,0O0. This 1
the largest postal deficiency in the his
tory of the government. except In $50
when 1t reached nearly SIS. 600. 000. The re
cords show that there has been a posta
deficiency almost every year since tn
twelve years small SURPRISES were shown
The expense OF the rural free mail deliv
cry this year Is not expected to fall be
low SIS, 900. OOo. The decrease in the amour
OF the receipts Of s64. 0G0.60 and the in
crease in the expenditures OF $50, 100

Mr. Cleveland was buried with all the
simplicity and privacy that he himself
might have wished. as a private citizen
rather than rs the former chief executive
OF the nation. There was nothing that
savored Of the official, and the military
element'was injected solely as a measure
of precaution in protecting President
Roosevelt.
The President arrived at 4:3S p. m. and
was met at the station by Gov. Fort.
The President. Gov Fort and Secretary
Loeb were driven at once to Westland.
I-pon his arrival at the house the Presi-
dent went to Mrs. Cleveland, Offering
his sympathy and expressing keen regret
at Mr.. Cleveland's death.
The President then returned to the re-

removed in the afternoon from the room
on the second floor in which Mr.. Cleve-
land died.
