STATEMENT FROM CARLISLE Letter of the Seoretary in Answer to In- quiries by Senator Voorhees, ARGUMENTS FOR AN ISSUE OF BONDS Figures Showing the Exact Condition of the National Treasury at the I'resent Time—Necessity Promp Action by Congress. tor Wasnrsaroy, Jan, 15.—The following let- tor was forwarded by Secrotary Carlislo to Senator Voorhees, chairman of the finance committee of the senate DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON, Hon. D. W. Voorhees, chal on finance, United States senate. Dear Sir: In compliance with your verbal r quest, I have the honor to submit for tho consideration of the inance committee of the sonate statoments, showing the actual con- dition of the treasury on the 12th day of the present month, and an estimate of receipts and expenditures during the remainder of this month and the month of Februar will be seen from this statement that there is an urgent necessity for such immediate action as will replenish the coin reserve, and cnable this department to continue the pay- ment of public expenses and discharge the obligations of the government to pensioners and other lawful creditors Estimated Deficlency. “When my annual roport was prepared it was estimated the expenses during the cur- rent fiscal year would exceed the receipts to the amount of £28,000,000, and I asked con- gress for authority to issus and sell bonds, or other forms of obligations, to an amount not exceeding §50,000,000, bearing a low rate of interest und having a reasonably short time to run, to enable the secrotary of the treasury to supply such deficicncies as might occur in the revenues. The estimate then made was based upon the assumption that the worst scts of our financial disturb- ances had already been realized, and there would be u substantial increaso in the reve- uves for the remainder of the year. While it is not believed the "defi- ciency then existing will be supplied by increased revenues in the future, it is hoped no additional deficiency will oceur, but the receipts and expenditures during the month of December aud up to the 12th day of the present month, show that the estimate of a deficiency of 25,000,000 at the close of the year was much too low. Recoipts and Expenditures, “The annual receipts and.expenditures dur- ing each month of the year and thé monthly deficiencies have been as follows: Receipts and expenditures, fiscal year 1894: OFFICE OF THE Jan, 13, 1804.— rman committee PrEAsviy SECRETARY 1 Bxc soNTIL | Receipts. ‘ Expendi- | tu Jau. 12dys| 10, shouid continue the total dif tween receipts and expenditures on the 30th of next June will be §78. 167,542, cording to the best estimate that be made the total receipts during the pre: ent month and the month of February will be $41,900,000 and total expenditures will be $60,360,000, snowing a deficiency dur- ing the two months of $18,400,000, but this does not. include any payments on account of the sugar bounty, cliims for which to the amount of nearly £5,000,000 have already been presonted and are now under investiga- tion by the department.

WasHINGToN, Jan. 15.—In the last appro- priation bill, providing for the blue book which gives the list of persons nolding posi- tions in the different departments, o pro- vision was inserted requiring that the num- ber of employes by states bo furnishod. This provision has been carried out in the book just published. Representative Houck of Tonnessee has made a compavison of theso figures with the census of 1800, show- ing the number of offices each state would beentitlod to according to the population. His object is to show that many states, in the south particularly, have not a just pro- portion. His figures show that the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Plorida, Georgia, Ken- tucky, Loulsiana, North Caro- lina, South € Texas and Vermont hiave 2,545 persons in office, about 800 fewer than the District of Columbia. Mr. Houck thinks the civil service commit- tee should make no more certificates from states which have a full quota. and that those which have moro than their share should be speedily reduced.

Yorg, Jan. 13 WILL ARKEST TdE GOVERNOR, Phoge of the Talk at Sounds Furcieal. JACKSONVILLE, Jan. 15,—The serious vart of the Corbett-Mitchell dilemma seems to bo passing away aud the comical side is coming out. A numberof lawyers were discussing the question when one remarked in a joking manner: *The governor and the sherift dare not interfere “Why not?” w ked. “Because either would be liable to impris- onmentand fiue, and perhaps both.” This was laughed at, when the attorney said: “Wait a moment qud I will show you. Procuring a copy of the eity ordinauces he turned to where it stated that any per- son found guilty of interfering with, or pre- venting the overation of any of the ordi- nances, was liable to a fine of $100 or im- prisonment for thirty days. Judge Gibbons of the municipal court, was asked if the law had been rightly inter- preted. S[Lis true,” suid Judge Gibbons, “by in- terfering with the Corbett-Mitchell con- test the overnor, sherifl or militia would bo liable to fine and | imprisonment. The ordi- nance allowing suchi a contest cannot be in- terfered with eveu by the governor.” “What would you do if the executive should be brought béfore you on sucha charge?” “Well,” replied the judge, “I should be governed by circumstances. Atany rato I should do my duty."” The fight botwedn thb negroes, Harris and Watkins, tonight was ended in the first round by Harris jumping over the ropes and refusing to fight after receiving a hard blow in the jaw. It is said that both men will be rrestod tomorrow, the case being used as a tost of the legality of the Corbett-Mitchell contest. Latest Jacksonville ANGRY AT CORBETT.

Jackson said this was a falsehood pure and simple and that later Corbett re- fused to accept $5000 added to the stakes offcred by the California club to fight the battle out lator, but instead pulled down his $2,500 coming from tho contest and slipped out of town. BaLtioRe, Jan, 15.—John L.
