DEFICIT IN MILLIONS

spent money with a lavish hand ven
the newsboy upon the street under
stands; that it will leave behind it
a deficit the largest known is gener-
ally admitted. The other day Chair
man Fitzgerald of the appropriation
committee, the gentleman who in the
previous congress in open declared
that the congress was the most extra
VACANT known and that he could go
home and apologize to the people of
the country with a chance that any
one would believe him, issued a sort
of statement to the public preparing
it for at least $133, OOO, 900 treasury
deficit by June 1. Representative Gil
lette, the ranking republican member
of the same committee, at the same
time issued a statement, backed by
cold figures, in which he placed the
total appropriations of the 63rd con
gress at S2,231 900 900 which, he said,
was $4,000. 900 greater than that of
the 62nd and SLIT 900 900
more than the last republican congress
appropriated.
Mr.. Fitzgerald estimated that should
the condition of the treasury continue
as at present until June 80, the total
deficit would be $l33. 900 900 offset,
however, by the income tax collections
which are estimated at about $50, OOO,-
600. Mr.. Gillette asserted in his state
ment that the Treasury has not been
81 empty since the Cleveland admin
istration."
Mr.. Gillette assailed the democratic
leaders for what he characterized as
extravaganza as follows:
'The appropriations of this session
have shamefully disregarded the prin-
cir,es of sound business and true &C.
oromy With revenues falling and
precarious, with business and CON-
mercial conditions feverish and uncer-
tain. with a steady monthly deficit
end no assured prospect of it's relief,
and with a cash fund reduced to a
point that has generally heen deem
ed unsafe, the administration has re-
commended and the congress has au-
thorized expenditures on a larger scale
than v e before and no step has been
taken to meet the prospective deficit.
1.-THE prevalent opinion that con-
press is mainly to blame is incorrect,
It is the executive which is primarily
at fault. 1t ought to be vastly easier
for the cabinet and president. small
executive body exempt from the dan
gers of log rolling. to survey the whole
field. calculate the revenues and cut
the estimates to correspond"

the exception of Commissioner r.
B. Blakemore. The resolution was
introduced bv Commissioner Joe Ames

AFTER
MARAUDERS

Washington, Sept. ao.-General Car
rama telegraphed from Vera Cruz to
his Washington agency that a. vigor-
GUS campaign was being organized to
pursue marauding bands operating be-
tween Vera, Cruz and Mexico City,
The MESSAGE said
"A vigorous campaign against the
zapatistas is being organized in order
to pursue the small bands maraudine
in different sections but they do not
constitute a nucleus of forces capable
OF cutting on communications with the
City OF Mexico nor to deprive the lat
ter OF water and lights, as the press
has stated II. T%
The irregularity OF railway traffic
between here and the City of Mexico
is due to the lack of rolling stock as
the demand for cars for the transpor-
tation of merchandise and the demand
from the government for the trans
portation Of supplies so far obtained
for the relief OF the poor is SO great
as to delay other traffic.."
