Large Government Deficit.

Washington.-The statement of the
treasury receipts and expenditures for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1908,
shows d marked falling off in the re-
ceipts as compared with the year 1907,
and large increase in the expendi-
lures. The excess of expenditures
over receipts for the year will approx
mate sG0,000,000, which has been ex-
ceeded only twice since the Civil war
The total receipts this year have
been about $599, 700 900, Or sG4 100000
less than for the fiscal year 1907. Gus
toms receipts have fallen off about
SAG, 900 from those of 1907, while
the receipts from internal revenue
sources are short nearly $4,000 900.
The disbursements for the year have
aggregated about $G59, 100000 or $780,
100000 r!Cre than for 1907 and $54 00O.-
900 more than for any year since 1865.

The Panama canal during the closing
year cost the government $3S 900, 900. az
against 100000 for the year 1907,
and the work this year in connection
with the reclamation Of the public
lands has cost about S13,O00,OOO which
is not far from last years figures.
The deficiency in the postal revenues
for the present year Is about Sl3.5OO,-
600, as against $500. 900 for 1907, maxi
ing n difference of $6.00O.000. This is
the largest postal deficit in the history
of the government. except in 1905,
when it reached nearly $4,000 900.
The records show that there has been
postal deficiency every year since
the establishment of the service with
the exception of twelve, when small
surplnses were shown. The expenses
for the rural free delivery this year are
not expected to fall below s25.00O, 900.
The decrease in the amount Of re-
ceipts of $64 100000 and the increased
expenditures of sSO.OOO.0OO, make
difference against the treasury for the
fiscal year of $l44,000,00O.

Cleveland.-The largest and most
varied program in the history of the
National Educational Association.
marked the opening of the forty-sixth
annual convention of the organization
here Monday. Thousands of delegates
are here, and streets and buildings are
galy decorated.
The first session in connection with
the convention was a meeting Of the
national council. This was followed
by meeting of the directors, where
the financial reports were made and
resolutions adopted. The committee on
appropriations and Investigations pro-
posed that their work be dropped. ow
ing to the general financial condition
OF the association and the change in
the policy of the railroads throughout
the country in the matter of passenger
rates. The committee recommended
that Congress be urged to make appro-
priations and take up the work Of edu'
cational investigation under the gov
ernment bureau of education.
One Of the interesting features OF
the program. although not a part of
the official convention, was a spelling
contest between the eighth grade pu-
Lils. in which a team of fifteen repre-
senting each of four cities entered.
The Cleveland schools challenged the
schools of the country. Pittsburg, New
Orleans and Erie, Pennsylvania, ac-
cepted. First there was written
contest of 100 words and then oral
spelling Of about $50 words When the
scores were compiled it was found that
Cleveland won with total of only
thirtyeight errors. Pittsburg was sec
ond with fOrty-seven errors; New
Orleans third with sixty-six. and Erie
fourth with eighty-five.
Mae Thursby of Pittsburg and Marie
BOlden (colored) of Cleveland had per-
feet scores, the latter receiving re-
peated cheers from all parts of the big
