ELLSWORTH ACQUITTED.
Hiss Trout Fails to Convince Jury of
 Brother Laws Guilt.

# Van Buren, July 5.-The talk |hg of evidence ia the Ellsworth 1ssault case closed last mig ht, and |nuch earlier than was expo cted, q wing to the weakness of the Hates evidence after Miss Vadie Front, tho alleged victim of II e 4ssault, had left tbe wit iess 4tand. She was subjected to a long and rigid cross-examiua ation by w. II. Neal, counsel for the Defendant, and 1t materially Feakened her direct testimony. 'lhe jury was out but very short fime, considering the character pfthe charge, wheu they returned Nnh a verdict of aoquittal. The fact that Miss Trout, at |the examining trial before a is- |tice of the peace, declared that Ellsworth was not the man who assaulted her and in the circuit court swore that he was her as- |sailant, did much 10 break down the states evidence, while the allbl of the defense was consid-
 cred very strong. The verdict of
 the jury IS looked upon as just lone.
 The verdict meets with the approval ot those who heard very
 mnc1 of the testimony.

CONDITIONS NOT sATIsFAcfoRY.
Government Officials Not Pleased With
 Showing for Year.

Washington, July s.~-From the treasury standpoint the fiscal year just closed has been a most unsatisfactory one, Since about the middle of Octo bet lasr when the period of money stringeney set in and the consequent depression in business began to be felt, there has been a constant falling off in government revenues ub to the months just closed. For June a sur plus is shown of nearly $4,000,OO0. This fact, however, is not significant as June is unfailingly a surplus month, largely due to the fact that it is closing month of the fiscal year when appropriations gradually reach the point Of exhaustion. The month 6t June, 1907, showed surplus of ap- proximately s11,000,O00 and every pre- ceding June for many years past has shown large surplusses.
 As the month of June uniformly shows surplus, the month of July has certainly shown deficit. Nearly all appropriations become available on the first of July, and this year treas ury officials are looking forward to a deficit larger than usual and while they are not willing at this time to express an opinion as to it's size, II Is believed that S20,000,000 for the one month would be a conservative estimate with chance of it's being considerably larger than that The amount of cash now in the treasury vaults and available to meet expendi- lures is about s70,000000. In addi- ton to this there is on deposit with national banks about $153,S44,000 which is at all times subject to call by the secretary. A considerable DOT tion of this sum is likely to be called into the treasury within the next few days and while MT Cortelyou has not indicated what his purpose is as to the amount, it is thought it will not be less than $50.000,000
 The treasury statement of the gov. ernment receipts and expenditures shows that for the fiscal year just ended the total receipts were $599,- S95. .763 and the expenditures s659,552,- l24, leaving the deficit for the year s59,656,361 as against a surplus one year ago of sS6,945. .542.

9sARY READY TO rRY AGAIN.
The Roosevelt begins Northern Voy-
 age Monday.

New York, July S.-Commander Robert E. Peary, the Ar,tic explorer, will make another attempt to find the North pole. The staunch steamer Roosevelt, built for him by the Peary Arctic club, which carried him and his little party to the far north on the latest expedition, will begin her northward voyage Monday.
 Commander Peary will not leave New York with his ship, but will join his party at Sydney, Cape Breton. The explorer had planned to have his ship leave New York Wednesday, but the uncertainty of raising the $5O,OOo necessary to finance the expedition caused the delay. All but $500O or the funds required has been obtained and he is hopeful of raising the amount before he leaves the city.
 A picked crew of hardy New Found flanders with Capt Robert A. Bartlett of Brigus, New Foundland, as sailing master. are awaiting the signal to start.
 Peary's plan for this expedition. aside from his expectation Of placing the stars and stripes al the North pole. includes researches into the north coasts of Grantland and Green land. He will follow practically the same route as he did on his previous trip. but his tactics will be different and he will utilize the drift method so that the moving ice will not carry him beyond the line of his goal.
