non-christian state to meet them on
honorable terms and speak to them
frankly upon the claims of rival re-
ligious faith. We feel that the inter
ests of the association, as well as the
general interests of the kingdom,
were greatly advanced by this series

had contributed to the cause of this

and pleasing in manner. He delivered
an address during the evening which
without doubt was one of the best
ever heard in the auditorium of the
Young Mems Christian Association.
for it touched the heart of every mem
Der present, as he wildly pictured the
work the association was doing in the
far east. among the people of that
part of the globe. and of the unlimit-

done.
The splendid menu had been pre-

CUSTOMS RECEIPTS GROWING
Collections Yesterday Nearly Double
Those of Year Ago.
DECREASE IN THE DEFICIT
Reduction of Nearly Six Millions for
Month IL Partly Accounted for
by Methods Of bur
meuf.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE customs
receipts for today we're nearly twice as
great as for September 1. Of last year, &C
cording to figues given out at the Treas
ury department today. This is taken as
a fair indication of the effect OF the new
Payne tariff law, although a percentage
Of the receipts must necessarily be credited
to the Dingley law, as ~importations, which
have been held in bond since being brought
In prior to the enactment of the law, are
being withdrawn every day.
II Is also said that the increase is to
some extent due to the better business
conditions existing now as compared with
a year ago. The customs receipts at all
ports today were 81, 400, 9S7, as compared
with $75S, 4B4 for September /, 1908.
Decrease in Deficit.
There was a deficit of S7,411, 72S in the
ordinary receipts and disbursements of the
Treasury department for the month OF
August, as compared with a deficit Of
S13. 103, s49 for July.
As the greater number of the general APP
propristions become available for the use
of the various branches Of the government
during July, the first month Of the fiscal
year, the reduction in the deficit in August
is largely accounted for. There was also
a smaller deficit in the receipts and dis
bursements for the construction of the
Panama canal, the shortage being 5000, 213
for July and $40 ,127 for August.
From the customs the Treasury depart
ment received $Ss. $50, 695 for August, while
the receipts from the same source in July
were 500, 963, 161. During August S19, 79S, 76s
was received from the internal taxes and
81, 77S,SS was obtained from miscellaneous
sources.
Postal Deficit Big.
The postal deficiency for August
amounted to s3,0OO,0O0 as compared with
half that amount for July. The War de-
partment used over S12, 100000 during the
last month, While the maintenance of the
navy called for a little more than $40, 0OO, 900.
The public debt less the cash balance in
the treasury at the beginning of business
today was 81, O7, 211, 900 This does not include
81, 1913, 21l, $50 in certificates and treasury
notes which is offset by an equal amount
Of cash in the treasury. The recapitula-
ton OF the debt shows 1918, 317, $50 in inter.
est bearing debt, S2,s14,475 in debt on which
interest has ceased since maturity and
$3.50, All, IA in debt bearing no interest. The
statement of the cash in the treasury shows
a total Of 81, 722, 121 divided as follows:
Reserve funds, gold coin and bullion, $50.
900, 900; trust funds, 81, 343. 211, $50 to offset
certificates and treasury notes; genera
fund, $3.50, O94, 234; in National bank depos.
itorles. $54,O22, 74e; and in the treasury OF
the Philippine islands, $500, 2n.
