Coming Events.

At the Boyd theater this week the Wood
ward Stock company will be presented in
Henry Arthur Jones four-act drama, Mrs.
Danes Defense" which very strongly pre-
sents the argumen on one phase Of the
woman question. Mrs. Dane has taken the
name Of a dead friend TO cover up a past
for which she is not especially blameable,
but which is unpleasant in a way. She is
clever and attra ctive, and Lionel Carteret,
the adopted son of an English Judge, falls
in love with her. Just on the eve Of the
marriage Mrs. Bulsom-P Porter, a busy
body of the most marked type, begins to
talk. In order to stop the threatened
scandal Sir Daniel Carteret starts an in
vestigation, which ends in the great scene
OF the play in which Sir Daniel questions
Mrs. Dane, and she finally tells him the
whole truth. He deeply sympathizss with
her. but shows her how impossible II is
that she should marry his son and try to
live in a community that is infested with
Mrs. Bulsom-Porters She struggles, but
finally gives in. and the play ends very
logically, Mr.. Morrison will play the part
of Sir Daniel and Miss Fleming viii be
Mrs. Dane, while Miss Spencer will have
the part OF Mrs. Bulsom-Porter. The re-
hearsals have been under the direction of
Mr.. J. Francis Kirk, VINO has succeeded

GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS NOT
PLEASED WITH SHOWING.
There Has Been = Constant Falling
OF In Revenues for Nine
Months.

Washington, July 2.--From tn,
treasury standpoint the fiscal year jus
closed has been most unsatisfactory
one. Since about the middle Of Octo
Der last when the period Of money
stringency set In and the consequent
depression in business began to be
felt, there has been a constant falling
of In government revenues up to the
months just closed. For June sur.
plus is shown Of nearly $4,000, 1000.
This fact, however, Is not significant
as June 10 unfailingly surplus month,
largely due to the fact that 1t IS
closing month Of the fiscal year when
appropriations gradually reach the
point Of exhaustion. The month Of
June, 1907, showed a surplus of ap-
proximately $11,000,000 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 its size, It
Is believed that $20,000,000 for the
one month would be conservative
estimate with chance of its being
considerably larger than that. The
amount of cash now in the treasury
iaults and available to meet expendi-
lures is about $70,0O0,0O0. In addi-
lion to this there is on deposit with
national banks about $l53,844,O00
5hich is at all times subject to call
ny the secretary. A considerable por-
lion of this sum is likely to be called
into the treasury within the next few
lays and while Mr.. Cortelyou has not
indicated what his purpose is as to
he amount, it is thought it will not
be less than $50,OO0,OOO.
The treasury statement OF the gov
receipts and expenditures
shows that for the fiscal year just
ended the total receipts were $780,
1885, and the expenditures $659,552,-
IA, leaving the deficit for the year
i59,G5G,361 as against surplus one
,ear ago of $86,945,542.

MEXICAN GOVERNMENT ISSUES A
STATEMENT REGARDING
PRESENT UPRISING.
REPORTS ARE EXAGGERATED
The Officials Declare Reesnt Attacks
on Villages Had No Political
signifieanee--caused by
Agitators.

Mexico City, July FIN a statement
made to the Associated press Wednes-
day on behalf Of the Mexican state
department by Secretary OF Foreign
Affairs Senior Federico Gamboa, that
Official said:
I'D order that the absurdly exag-
gerated rtsaregarding the recent
trouble In northern Mexico may be
corrected and In compliance with your
request, | am giving you access to
certain official correspondence which
will prove that the contention of the
Mexican state department that the re.
cent troubles had no political signifi-
canoe are well grounded"
A number Of kilograms and official
documents were thereupon shown the
correspondent Of the Associated press
which set forth the following facts:
That the recent attacks on the vii
lagos of Viesca, Las Vacas and
Palomas were made by small bands
Of indictments, who were driven to
deeds Of desperation by lack Of work,
consequent hunger and an enmity to-
wards the local officials. These men
had been furnished literature OF an
anarchistic and inhammatory nature
by agitators in Los Angeles, CAL;
San Antonio, Tex; Austin, Tex, and
st. Louis, Mo. In no instance had
representative man led the attacking
parties, nor had the largest group Of
raiders numbered more than go men
and that the trouble was practically
over. Continuing, Mr.. Gamboa said:
"As you have seen, these attacks
have all been made on villages near
the boundary line which separates the
United States and Mexico by small
groups Of unemployed and ignorant
men of the lower class.
ut seems that some of them came
from the United States side and 1t is
claimed that the conspiracy was
Matched on that side. For that reason
Mexico maintains that all Of the raid
ers are guilty Of common crimes and
those caught on Mexican soil will be
tried for such, while those apprehend-
ed in the United States, Mexico will
ask their extradition as we would of
any criminal guilty of the crime of
arson, murder or robbery.

Robert d. Peary, the Arctic explorer,
will make another attempt to fiDd 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 $4,000
necessary to finance the expedition
caused the delay. All but $1,000 Of
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
landers 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 at 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
rip, but his tactics will be different
and he will utilize the drift method"
