WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Notwithstanding the fears of the Treasury officials that on wecount of the repeal of the war taxes and the heavy ap- propriations by congress, they might soon be confronted with a deficit, no such thing is in sight now. Although- the expendi- tures so far this year have exceeded the receipts by ncarly $10,000,000, the outlook now is favorable that by the end of the fiscal year all this will have been regained. The recelpts from customs duties during the six weeks of the current flucal year have exceeded those of the corresponding period of the preceding year by several mililon dolla; Last year ‘they were $33,- 000,000, this year they are $39,000,000. This increase is altogether unexpected. The officials of the treasury camnot account for it, nor can they do mere thas’ guess how long it will last. Al calculations ap- parently have been upset. The figures showing a big deficit for the year have been 1 1de. Those charged with the duty of figuring out how: the balance sheet will atand have given up In despair. Customs receipts are not the only thing that puzsie them. They are mot sure yet whether the $40,000,000 Panamerican canal money will have to be spent, nor the money for the Danish West Indi 3 There is ho official opinion whether there will be a surplus or deficit next June, The loss by repeal of war taxes will amount to $65,000,000. If the customs receipts continue at the present rate this be recouped and instead of a deficit there may be another surplus.

Situation in American: WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.—The State de- partment is in receipt of a cablegram from Minister Bowen, at Caracas, saying that he can spare two of the war vessels now in Venezuelan waters. This information is taken to mean that the situation in Venezuela has improved so far that little danger now threatens Ameri- can interests. The fact that two of the three American warships now In Venezuelan waters can be spared will permit the Navy department to dispatch Marletta to Oolon, to which place it was proceeding when, in response Minister Bowen’s dispatch, it was diverted to Venezuela.

Emma Goldman, the high priestess of anarchism, is belleved to be in Omah She s supposed to have arrived in this ity Wednesday and rented rooms in tho Martls block at Sixteenth and Webster streets. A woman whom the police believe answers Emma Goldman's deseription came from Chicago Wednesday, bringing several trunks and considerable household goods with her and is occupying rooms in the Martis block. Circumstances surrounding the woman and her presence here have led the police to keep her under close sur- velllence and 1t is expected that early this morning she will be taken Into custody and an investigation as to her identity and on, if it proves to he the Goldman woman, made. The fact that President Roosevelt s to be in Omaha within a month makes the r motest possibility of Emma Goldman presence of supreme Interest and the police are determined to know before this day is over whether the woman under suepicion is the one from whom the wretched assassin of President McKinley sald he drew his murderous inspiration or not. Chief Donahue is in thorough touch with what seem to be significant circum- stances and while he nor any of his men pretend to pass sentence as yet upon the identity of the woman they will lose no op- portunity of getting at the facts in the case. Goes , by Name of Gibson. A reporter for The Bee called at the rooms occupled by the woman whom the police fear is Emma Goldman yesterday afternoon. He learned from other tenants in the house that she was known as Mrs. Gibson. The reporter knocked on the door a number of times, but was unable to arouse any one within, or at least elicit any response. The effort was abandoned until evening, when at about 8:80 he called pgain. B fore renewing his effort at obtaining ad- miesion to the rooms he learned from a woman oeccupying adjoining apartments that a man had called frequently at ‘‘Mrs. Gibspn's” rooms and had given a certain rap. He put this rap into execution and promptly a voice asked, “Who is there?" But the woman insisted that ghe had re- tired for the night and could not be seen.

Detective Henry Dunn made several visits te the rooms during yesterday afternoon, but says he was unable to see “Mrs. Gib- son,” although her neighbors insisted she ‘was lnside at the time. The police claim that two letters and a paper were delivered to ‘‘Mrs. Gibson" Thursday, having come through the mail from Chicago, addressed “Emma Goldman.” It is sald that “Mrs. Gibson” showed signs of flustration when the letters were handed to her and sald “Oh, yes, these want to be redirected and forwarded to Chicago.” And with that she effaced the Omaha address and wrote that of Chicago, but declined to give the mail back to the car- rler, saying she would attend to the mail- ing herself. She kept the letters and was per. In addition to this suspicious incident the police claita that two of the boxes in which “Mrs. Gibson's” goods came be~ trayed the name of Emma Goldman on the outside.
