SLIGHT DEGREASE TN EXPENDITURES 'SHORTAGE OF GOVERNMENT FOR THE MONTH ABOUT FOUR- TEEN MILLIONS. ‘Washington, July 31.—The monthly statement of the government receipts and expenditures, which will be issued by the treasufy department on Aug. 1, will show the receipts for 180,000 and the expenditures ' about $62,860,000, 'leaving a deficit for' the month of $13,630,000. The deficit last July was $17,300,000. Thelh were no extraordinary receipts or expenditures in July, 1904, and none ent month, This decrease of.about $8,500,000 in the “deficit:'this month, as compared h ihat fer July, 1504, is accounted for by the ma crease in the from customs, and a slight decrease in expenduuu The receipts. from cus- toms alone will exceed those {for July, last year, by about $2,000,000. “Those from internal revenue ' Sources will probably. exceed those of a year ago by about $500,000. The: treasury offi- cials regard the showing this month with satisfaction and point to the $2,- 000,000 increase.in customs receipts as an indication of a large increase in business during the remainder of the year. it MR. BRYAN 1S WILLING. Wisconsin Committeeman Proposes Nebraskan for ‘President. Madison, Wis., July 31.—T.. E. Ryan of Waukesha, the Wisconsin member of the Democratic national committee, seriously proposed William 'Jennings Bryan as the most available presiden- tial candidate of the Democracy in 1908. He declared that the sentiment of the Democracy all over the country was fast coming to an unanimity in favor of making Bryan again the standard bearer of the party and sug- gested that even at this early day the first organization be perfected to this end. Responding directly to this sugges- tion Colonel Bryan did not deny his willingness to consider himself' as available for presidential ticket tim- ber, but, thanking ‘Mr. Ryan and the others for. the tributes paid him, said: “It is too early for any of us to know who ought to be the standard béarer of Democragy in the next campaign and I would not be worthy of the con- fidence you have shown in me if I did not take more interest in the outcome than in any personal victory. “The candidate must be Democratic and stand on Democratic principles. The party must be Democratic and de- serve to win if it does win. It cannot win unless it showssmore interest in legislation for the benefit of the peo- ple than in the distribution of patron- age. The platform must be written by the people and not by the politicians.” PURDY IS PROMOTED.

New Qrleans, July 31.—The -most disquieting news in the yellow fever situation is the evidence that panic IS /increasing in the smaller towns of Lou- isiana and Mississippi and that a dis- position i3 growing to revive the dis- astrous commercial quarantines of 1897, when some of the country towns even refused to receive ice or hard- ware from New~-Orleans. Columbia, La., bars all kinds of merchandise ex- cept hardware; Utica, Miss., will not receive freight of any kind; Osyka, Miss., will take no fruit or:-vegetables, ‘and Jackson, La., wants no household articies’ from New Orleans. Several towns in Tennessee and others along the Mississippl Valley road in Missis- sippi refuse to allow express matter of any kind to be put off; Port Gibson will not take - bread nor anything wrapped in burlap that may be shipped from this city. Some of the Texas towns are 'asking that the mails be fumigated. s If the movement to:. quarantine freight spreads: New Orleans will suf- fer much miore seriously than'-from the fever itself. Up to the present there has been no lucal'apprehensxon] of a dangerous epidemic and it was other states lived up rlg(dly to their agreement’ mot ‘to ‘place any restric- tions on the transportation of freight there would only be & slight reduction of businéss-and the chief inconveni- ence would be the inability of the coun- try people to come here and of New Orleans people to go into the South- ern towns and cities, .

RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT URGED 7o RESlST 'HUMILIATING ~ DEMANDS OF JAPAN. lDlSGUSS ALLEGED TERMS OF PEACE i CONDITIONS OUTLINED BY JAP ENVOY CONSIDERED FAR 5 FROM MODERATE. Bt. Petersburg, July 31.—The tong of the Russian press grows more war- +'like ‘as the peade conference draws nigh and the government on all sides 18 urged to resist humiliating demands, even at the cost of continuing the war. “Peace on the Jepanese ‘terms as says the Russ, which -is ‘the first paper to comment seriously on the Sato intervievs, “can only be an armistice.” The Russ, which | { has now the largest liberal following, finds the Japanese demands far from moderate and sees little chance of the conference ending suceegsiully if Mr. Sato has.correctly stated the Japanese position, but it appears to believe that Baron Komura’s spokesman is acting “on his own responsibility” or scents a possible bluff to pave the way for the acceptance of actual and more moderate terms by Japan. ' The Sviet continues its fault finding with the ‘‘tactlessness” of the visit of Secretary of War Taft and Miss Alice | Roosevelt to Japan while the United States is the host of the peace pleni- Ppotentiaries. - ARMISTICE IS PROBABLE. Fighting Will Be Suspended When. Peace Envoys Meet. New York, July 31 .~ In' the course of an interview Aimar Sato, who is the official spokesman for the Japanese peace commission, said: “Japan is perfectly willing to agree to an armistice after the credentials of both commissions have been examinéd and verified. “The examination = of = credentials must necessarily be the first duty of the peace delegates to ascertain: that all are qualified to act in the capacity to'which they are represented. In the -negotiations for peace that ended the Chinese war I remember there was much delay because the credentials of one of the Chinese plenipotentiaries did not bear the emperor’s seal grant- ing him/plenary powers. “However, I think an armistice will be agreed -upon after the commissions enter formally upon their work. It has been the custom in all’peace nego- tiations to cease hostilities during the’ convention of peace plenipotentiaries.” Mr. Sato was asked as to the definite powers of the members of his commh« sion and he said: “They have power to reject any pro< posal and commit the Japanese governs ment to any document they may sign,, 8ubject of course. to the samction of the emperor.” cHlNA WILL ASK DAMAGES.
