COLLECTIONS FALLING OFF. | Customs Receipts and Internat Both Decline -The Government to Meet Fixed Charges with Re- sources Insufficient—No Law to Authorize Borrowing. WaAsHIncrox, Oct. he condition ious and is being president, the cabi- | considered by | net and leadi congress. The deficit has already reached grave proportions, and which threatens, before the end of the next fiscal year, to be so large as to cause | the secretary of the treasury very great embarrassment. It was hoped at one time that some provision would be made for the issue of bonds or that other means would be devised whereby Secretary Carlisle could at once r: enough money to tide over his troubles, but the senti- ment in congress is now so strongly against a bond issue that it is very doubtful whether the necessary legis- lation could be obtained. At any rate it is not thought it could be secured at this session. Customs receipts and internal reve- nue collections have fallen off so heav- the ily that at the present time the daily income is not large enough to meet the daily disbursements. The fixed and definite charges necessitated by the running of the government must be promptly met, the great army of em- ployes in all the executive depart- ments throughout the country, the army and the navy must be paid, and these payments with the interest on the public debt and other miscellaneous disbursements amount in round num- bers to $1,000,000 a day. Fora long time the receipts have fallen below the million dollar mark and as a result the secretary of the treasury is in the same position as a private individual when he has been living at the rate of $10,000 a year and is only earning $5,000. In the case of a private individual or a merchant who finds his receipts are running behind there is the alternative left to him either to settle with his creditors at so many cents on the dollar or else bor- row money. ‘The secretary cannot re- pudiate any of his obligations or make settlement with his creditors and un- fortunately there is no authority for him to borrow. GREAT FIRE AT PITTSBURGH. The People Much Alarmed-One Death— The Damage Heavy. PirrsBurGH, Pa., Oct. 27.—The large warehouse of the Chautauqua Tee Co. on Polk street, a six-story brick struc- ture, 100 feet long, was set on fire by a boiler explosion this afternoon. Five men were in the room at the time and, the flames cutting off their retreat, they were forced to jump to the ground and all were seriously injured. The warehouse was stored with val- uable goods and an insurance of #1,000,- 009 was carried. At 2 o'clock a row of frame dwellings on Mulberry alley in the rear caught fire and people in the neighborhood moved their goods. At 2:10 o'clock a man named Wi man was struck by falling timbers and lis skull fractured. At 2:30 o'clock the western and south- ern walls fell with a crash, burying four tenement houses on. Mulberry al- ley and one on Thirteenth street. For- tunately the occupants had all left be- fore the walls came down. At 3 o'clock the fire was believed to be under control. The loss is variously estimated at from $250,000 to $350,000. The only danger is from an ammonia tank in the Chatauqua lake ice build- ings. The firemen fear it will ignite and a terrible explosion will follow. At 3:05 p. m. the wrecked houses caught fire and as the wind was blow- ing south fears were @mtertained that the flames would spread to Pennsylva- nia avenue. The residents on the Twelfth street side were hustled out of their houses and the streets cleared by the police. The residents of all the houses in the vicinity on the north side of Pennsylvania avenue were also or- dered to leave. Eight Thousand Combinations. San Francisco, Oct. —The state railroad commissioners have approved the new local freight schedule prepared by the Southern Pacific Co. The schedule is what is known as the west- ern classification, and makes a reduc- tion of about 11 per cent. on freight rates. The schedule is complicated, there being about 8,000 combinations of rates. The rates are raised on some classes, lighter and costly freight, but lowered on the great mass of heavy and cheap goods. It goes into effect January 4, 1894. Doc Taylor Hanged. Morton, Va. Oct. —Doe Taylor was hanged for the murder of the Mul- lins family at Wise Court House this afternoon. He met death boldly. He was dressed in a suit of pure white linen and preached his own funeral ser- mon to the crowd of assembled wit- nesses of his death. He declared that in three days he would arise from the dead and preach to the mountaineers. A Broken Track.
