BIG DEFICIENCY PROBABLE.
Revenues for Fiscal Year Beginning
July 1, 1908, Estimated At Less
Than 5000, ooo,o 600.

Washington. May 1.-THE sixtieth
congress viii have earned the title Of
. ''billion dollar congress- at its first
session before adjournment is taken
ct the end Of this week. It is esti.
mated that the total appropriations
will reach the enormous sum Of ST.
o26. 900. 900. which is said to be tho larg.
est amount ever appropriated at q
single session.
The various items contributing to
make up this prodiglous aggregate
are as follows: Sundry civil. $780,.
100000; legislative. executive and ju-
dicial. 100000; army, $95.ss2.000;
postofice. $221,765. 900: pensions. $780,
100000; Notifications. $11.500.o00; az
riculture. s11,642.00o; District Of Co.
lumbia. $11.50o.000; diplomatic and
consular. 100000: naval. S122.652.'
900; Indian, $9,000.000; urgent de-
f1ciency, $26,000,000; public buildings.

grant station at Philadelphia, relief
Of tornado sufferers in the South. etc..
$1.500,000; permanent annual appro-
priations. S154,000.000.
These appropriations are for the
fiscal year which begins July 1, 1908.
It Is too early to give anything like
an accurate estimate Of the revenues
of the government during that period
Of twelve months, but members Of the
appropriations committee think they
will run somewhere between $780,
100000 and $9oo.o0o.ooo. This would
mean deficit of between $125,000, 900
and $175,000,000. Chairman Tawney
of the house committee warned the
house last week that the deficit would
reach $15o,0o0,o00 and If this predic
ton is fulfilled the surplus now in the
treasury will be wiped out by June
80, 1909. inasmuch as at the end OF
this fiscal year there will be deficit
Of between $60,000,0o0 and $65,o00.oo0
