2 a + Ha ie A BIG DEFICIT LOOKED FOR. i ing Out of the Repnbii- | What the Ca | amine Will Mean. | can Preg Washington, D. C, May 6—In| the light of the amount of appropri- ations made and to be made and tl proposed reduction of revenues by | the operation of the McKinley tariff} bill, considerable speculation is rife! as to the effect such appropriations and reductions will have upon the surplus in the treasury. Secretary Windom estimates the expenditures for the ensuing fiscal year, including interest on the debt, pensions and sinking fund, at $341,430,000,000, leaving, as he says in his report, a net surplus of $43,569,523. Mr. McKinley, in his report, estimates the reduction of revenues by the tariff bill at $71,264,414. Should the republicans stop the payment of the sinking fund there would still be a surplys of $21,000,000. Secretary Windom’s estimate for pensions is $98,500,000, but the house has already appropriated $146,000,000 for pensions, and an- other pension bill is favorably re- ported which involves the expendi- ture of $7,000,000 additional, and therefore the secretary's estimate is exceeded by $54,500,000, which would more than swallow up the surplus. The secretary's estimate for river and harbor improvementt is $12,- 000,000; the house bill gives $21,000,- 000. He made no estimate for pub- lic buildings, but the house and senate together have passed, or fa vorably reported, $25,000,000 worth. He made no estimate of the tonnage subsidies bill, but that will cost by the admission of its friends $3,000,- 000. Leaving out other matters con- templated such as a government telegraph which would cost $20,- 000,000 or $30,000,000, mail subsi- dies, which would cost nearly $6,000,000, a federal election law, which is estimated would cost at least $15,000,000, and counting only things passed by the house or favor- ably reported, the republicans seem to have committed themselves to an empty treasury and a deficit of about $37,000,000. Unless payment to the sinking fund is stopped, this deficit will be swelled to $86,000,- 000 and if a halt be not called on other pending propositions involv- ing large expenditures it is possible that. the deficit may reach $120,000, 000. Under these circumstances it is no wonder that President Harri- son is alarmed when he finds him self confronted with the unwelcome fact that he came into office with an overflowing treasury and is likely to go out with bankrupt coffers.

The din-} In order to reward the Tin plate Asso- uted by John Jarrett, defeated Hon. William R. Morrison, the republi- cans propose an average increase of over 125 per cent on all forms of tinned plate. The increase on roof- ing plate is over 100 per cent; on the plate used in the workingman’s dinner pail and other tinware it runs from 100 to nearly 300 per cent. The object of this tax is not to “protect an industry,” but to cre- ate a monopoly. Tin plate can be made in the United States ata profit, but the iron barons of Penn- sylvania refuse to make it unless they can make more on it than they can on those articles on which they have already a monopoly under the tariff. In order to induce them to} make it this bill proposes to pro- hibit the purchase of foreign tin) \¢ pieces of them at the depot.

It is in the house that the questions with which he has been identified are} fought out. The senate is nota dle-} bating ground in the sense that the} house is.

Frosts in Missourt- St. Louis, May 7.—Heavy frosts are reported from various sections of this state, and it is feared that the wheat crop has been injured. In many places, small fruits were destroyed, while in others trees in bloom suffered considerably. The frost was particularly heavy in Pike and Audrain counties, in both places ice forming and the ground being frozen to a considerable depth. Burnes Jones, belenging to the semi-mystical school of artists, had a long struggle for a place in Lon- don, but his style of painting is the vogue there now and on all art mat- ters he is the authority. The Statue of General Lee Drawn Through the Streets by the People. Richmond. Va., May 7.—The Lee statue was put parts on fe trucks which were drawn through the streets this afternoon. Four ropes, each 200 feet long, were at- tached to each truck. One of them was grasped y vetcrans the second by sons of veterans, the third by ladies. The statue was thus hauled to the site. The line of march was literally packed with people from starting point to finish, while the cheering and waving of flags was continuous. There were five hun- in | dred grown ladies and girls, whose} fair hands held the ropes, while lit- tle tots were carried into the streets} jon their mothers’ aris small hands placed upon the ropes. All the trucks were handsomely dec-| orated with pictures of General Lee and flags of the southern states, while here and there a confederate battle flag floated to the breeze. For one of the boxes of the statue $260 has been offered. Relic hunters have been incessantly trying to cut may be made into a set of furniture, | which will be auctioned off. It will take fourteen days to place the statue on the monument. The horse and rider are in eight pieces ‘and the parts will be riveted togeth-/ \er after they are placed on the ped-| estal. The pieces will be hoisted by jackscrews. Engineer Burgmeyer will keep the public from witnessing the issing of the statue. It requires, great vigilance to keep the relic hunters from breaking off pieces of it. ‘Troops will be here from parts of the south at the unveilix and 3° is estimated that the military | proc: ssion in the souta since Sherman's march through it. will be the largest seen The winter birds have gone North and all Florida hotels are closed.
