There were two or three showers that

the showers were the very least Of it.
Gen" Jacob S. COxey was the lunch

But even that wasn't so bad.
Some time during the afternoon came
the bolt. Senator Kern, acting interme-

PAGE HOPES FOR COMPROMISE

Sentimental support for the claim Of an
old Senate employe threatens to hold up
the District appropriation bill indefinitely
and hinder the operations OF the District
government in the opinion of those who
have watched the progress OF the con-
ference on the measure.
The belief Is spreading that IL the item

nation damages were out of the way.
both the Borland amendment and Section
would quickly he eliminated from the
bill and a complete agreement reached.
The Senate insists upon the payment of a
part at least OF the Kellar claim. and the
House has twice instructed its conferees
to insist upon the elimination of this
item.
No conferences were held on the bill
yesterday. Chairman Page, Of the House
conferees, is waiting for a request from
the Senate members. Mr.. Page is pre-
pared TO offer to recede from Section II

three items in disagreement. The items
have been presented en- bloc and acted
upon in this form. The House conferees,
on the other hand, have twice been in
structed. by separate votes on each item,
to insist upon their contention.
MIR. Page takes the position that he
cannot recede from specific instructions
from the House merely upon the diCtum
of three members OF the Senate. He
wants the entire Senate to act upon the
items individually. He is convinced that
the House will never consent TO the kel-
lar item, but believes an agreement can
be reached on the other two without fur
ther trouble IL the Senate is given an op-
pOrtunity TO act upon them individually.

year Just ended to S3L S26.9H. Thus, the
Treasury at the end of the present fiscal
wear. when the Panama Canal expendi-
lures are included, shows deficit of

800 7S3 at the close of 1913, and a surplus
of $l,Sg7,lS1 in 1872
Secretary McAdoo's statement adds:
Owing to the provision in the income
tax law which gives ten days after the
close of the fiscal year before penalties
attach, there was a failure to pay ap-
proximately SS5OO.OOO of taxes which had
| been assessed against corporations and
| individuals, and which should have been
paid before the close of the fiscal year
| 1914 Had this S3.5 200 been paid on or
| before June 90, 1914. there would have
| been a surplus for the fiscal year of ap-
| proximately s2.JOO,OOO against a surplus
| for 1872 of s1,Sg7,0OO, and a deficit for
| 1913 of 100000.
Department Is GraGihcd.
The Department is exceedingly graft
fed with the results for the first fiscal
year for the new tariff and income tax
law. Unquestionably very much better
results will be obtained during the pres
ent fiscal year.
THE net balance in the general fund
of the Treasury is now Sl45,SS5, ,5O2.
Notwithstanding Secretary McAdoo's ;
statement Republicans in Congress do
not alter their prediction that the Demo-
cratic tariff law will fail as a revenue
producer if II remains on the statute
books unamended. They point out that
included in the receipts for the present
fiscal year are the revenues from the
Payne e-Aldrich law for the first three
months, also the full Payne-Aldrich rates
on sugar, for eight months. Further
more, Underwood-Sfmmons reductions on
wool did not go into effect until month
or two after the bill was formally signed.
Under the present Democratic tariff
measure, sugar will go on the free list
on May /, 1916. Under Republican tariffs,
sugar has yielded about s6o.OO0.ooO, and
Republicans contend that when this
source of revenue is altogether sacrificed.
the Democratic tariff law will not be
able to make ends meet unless there is
a big increase in the income tax.
