UM Weet Lake Stmt, CKLCAFFC QAOE MAKES WEPOWT. fecrttary of the Treeiary Shorn Re* ceipta and ExpentitorM. Secretary of the Treasury Lyman J. Gage has issued the annual report of his department. Statistics necessarily make op a considerable portion of the report, and the first tabulated item to appear up­ on the pages is one which shows a deficit for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1891), of no less than $80,111,559.67. Revenues of all kinds foot up $010,- 962,004.35, while the expenditures were $700,093,564.02. Internal revenue is the largest item in the receipt column, amounting to $273,437,101.51, and cus­ toms next, with $200,128,481.75. All oth­ er receipts were of a minor and compara­ tively insignificant nature. That the de­ ficit was caused largely through the war with Spain is shown by the fact that the expenses of army and navy for the. fiscal year amounted to $293,783,358.72, to which must' be added the lump sum of $20,000,000 paid to Spain. Pensions for the year amounted to $139,35>4,929.07. Mr. Gage favors the proposition to al­ low national banks to issue their notes in the form of paper money, and makes many general recommendations in regard to their control, but none of a specific na­ ture. Close adherence to the gold stand­ ard is deemed advisable and lengthy eulo­ gies delivered on its believed merits. Im­ migration reports show 311,715 immi­ grants at the ports of the United States and Canada. The transactions of the fis­ cal year, as shown by the report of the treasurer of the United States, were of unusual magnitude, the net ordinary re­ ceipts having l»eeai exceeded in any like period but ©nee, to 1866, and the net ordinary expenditures bat thrice, ia 1803, 1864 and 1805. Important' cbanges took place <duriag the year in the composition and distri­ bution of the stock 'Of money. The amount of notes and silver certificates in circulation was increased by $43,828,380, reducing the paper holdings of the treas­ ury to the minimum required for the transaction of business. During the existence of the system, up to the close of the year ended June 30, 1899, 5,201 national banks have been or­ ganized. On ithe latter date, 3,589 banks were in operation, 1,247 had been placed in voluntary liquidation by shareholders, and 365 placed in the eharge of receivers. On June -30, 1898, there were 3,590 banks in existence, showing a net loss during the year of one bank. During the past fiscal year, seventy-three banks were organized, and sixty-seven placed in voluntary liquidation and eight in charge of receivers. The authorized capital stock of the'banW on June 30 last was $607,871,245, and on June 30, 1898, $030,- 025,295, showing a decrease during the year of $22,154,050. The national bank circulation outstand­ ing on June 30, 1899, aggregated $241,- 268,690, of which $205,204,094 was secur­ ed by bonds on deposit with the treasurer of the United States and $30,004,602 by lawful money deposited ou account of liquidating and insolvent associations.and those reducing circulation. The -silver dollars coined were from bullion purchased under the act of July 14, 1890. The total coinage of -silver dollars from bullion purchased under act of July 14, 1890, from Aug. 13, 1890, to July 1, 1899, was $97,005,900, containing 75,028,051.81 tine ounces, costing $71,- 195.539.09, giving a seigniorage of $25, 810,420.91. tin bullion the mints used $70,252,487.23 in domestic gold and $7,- 220,890.57 in domestic silver. In total the expenditures w^nt above those for d8S>S to the estent of $101,703,5U74&. ' HACINE COUPLE SHOf» •Burglar Severely Wounds Rev. Dr..and Mra. David B. Cheney. The Rev. Dr. D. B. Cheney was shot down in his home at llacine, Wis., by an unknown assassin. Mrs. Cheney was also shot. The minister was shot through the breast and .groin. .Mrs. Cheney was shot in the throat, the bullet lodging in the larynx. The shooting took place.at 10 o'clock in the morning. The murderer tied, and was last seen .near the western limits of the city. A .posse was at once organ­ ized and started in pursuit. There were many threats of .lynching should the mur­ derer be captured. The crime waft one of the most desper­ ate ever committed in the State. Both victims were shot twice, it being the evi­ dent object of the uian to kill rather than to rob. Mrs. Cheney heard a noise in the second story of the house. Going to the hallway, she met' a man coming down the stairs. The ma« suddenly drew a revolver and ordered her to throw up her hands. Mrs. Cheney screamed and the man fired, the bullet taking effect in Mrs. Cheney's neck." A* she fell the man de­ liberately fired a second time, the bullet grazing the ihead of Jus victim. Dr. Che­ ney was in the library at the time, and hearing screams he rushed into the hall. He grappled with his wife's assailant and attempted to overpower him. The man, however, used his revolver. Dr. Cheney fell. lie was found suffering from a wound in the groin and another through fais breast, just below the heart. Several persons saw the assassin run from the house, but no attention was paid to him and not until nearly an hour later did it become known that Dr. Cheney and his wife had been severely wounded by a burglar.

Roberts, Representative^ elect from the State of Utah, is not to sit as a member of the Fifty-sixth Con­ gress. Final judgment on his case was indicated when the House by a vote of 302 to 30 declined to accord iim permis­ sion to take the oath of office. X special committee composed of nine members was appointed to investigate the charges that caused the action. Roberts intimat­ ed that if all other resources fail he may appeal to tie Supreme Court of the Unit­ ed States for adjudication of the legal questions ijavoVvWl in the proceedings to oust him. Roberts made a gallant de­ fense in his own behalf. He refgused te sue for the mercy of the House, but de­ manded as his right that he 'be permitted to •occupy his -seat so that the State of Utah might be represented in Congress. Originally limited to twenty minutes for the presentation of his argument, his time was extended thirty minutes longer.' Roberts made good use of his opportu­ nity. He crowded as many ideas and facts into bis speech as it would contain. The galleries were crowded to their full­ est capacity while the debate was in prog­ ress and, as-during the opening, the audi­ ence was largely composed of women. They were coldly" hostile to the man from TJtah. They listened to his eloquent ar­ gument 'without betraying the slightest sympathy with the deductions he drew. •On the other hand, when his prosecutors scored against him, they swelled the ap- iplause with which Congressmen on both the Democratic and Republican sides of the house greeted the hits, and appeared -to be resentful when Speaker Henderson warned them that they must preserve or­ der. Roberts, notwithstanding his bulldog determination and unflinching nerve, which were betrayed in every line of his heavy face, was not unmindful of the unsympathetic conduct. He accepted the moiety of sympathy which came from a few with eloquent gratitude, which prov­ ed the extremity of his position. When the debate was closed and the House voted down the amendments to the Tay­ lor resolution and then proceeded to a roll call on the resolution which would deprive him of bis seat pending the in­ vestigate^ by the special committee, Roberts picked up his books and papers and hastened to the cloakroom and thence left the building for his hotel. Not a man among the 356 Representatives held out a hand of friendship or said good-by. He passed out of the capitol practically unnoticed, except by the curious, who -simply regarded him as the man whose ease has been attracting national atten­ tion >for six months. MAILS Annnal Keport eral Postmaster Smith, in hid •pace to the matter than an most urgent n he declares, - \ . YEAH. master Gen­ ie. arles Emory rt., devotes more cond-class mail e subject. The postal service, iJieatioii of the enormous wrongs which have grown up in the perversion and abuse of the privi­ lege accordcd by law to that class of mail matter. This reform was paramount to all others. "There are," ho says, "many improve­ ments and advanees waiting development and application; there are opportunities for speedier transmission and delivery; there are fields for broadening the scope of the mail service and bringing it closer home to the people; there are possibili­ ties of reduced postage; but above and beyond all of these measures of progress which experience and intelligence are working out, is the redemption of the spe­ cial concession which Congress granted for a distinct and justifiable object from the fungus growths and the flagrant evils that have fastened upon it. "For this costly abuse, which drags on the department' and weighs down the ser­ vice, trammels its power and means of effective advancement in every direction, it involves a waste of $20,000,000 or up­ ward a year. Tbe postal deficit for the current year is $6,610,770. But for this wrongful application of the second-class rate, instead of a deficit there would be a clear surplus of many millions. Statistics of the different classes of matter carried in the past year are quot­ ed in the report, from which an estimate is made that one-half the matter mailed at second-class rates (170,371,613 pounds) is improperly classified, and should justly be paid for at third-class rates. These figures, says the report, show: 1. That more than one-fourth of the entire volume of weight of matter car­ ried through the mails is rated, and pays as second-class matter, when under the spirit and intent of the law it ought to be rated and to pay as third-class matter. 2. That while this wrongly classed mat­ ter amounts to more thau one-quarter of the whole volume of mail transmitted, it furnishes only one fifty-fifth part of tbe postal revenue. 3. That the expense of transportation being reckoned at 8 cents a pound, the ,4jnore carrying of this matter costs $14,- ,108,129, while the revenue from It was only $1,763,516, involving a loss to the Government of $12^344,613. "These statements convey tfceir own moral," the report continues. "It is a gross and manifest wrong that a particu­ lar and limited group of private interest's, using the mail solely for their own busi­ ness ends, and with no public object, di­ rect or incidental, should first succeed in eluding the plain purpose of the law, and should then and thus carry on their mail transactions, not at their own expense, but the expense of others. If there is to be a favored class, let it embcaoe *U tbe people." OLDEST ftAIHN AMERICA Tells How He Escaped the Ter­ rors of Many Winters fcjr . easing Peruna. .

The text of the currency measure elab­ orated by the Republican Senate Finance Committee has been made public. The bill is a gold standard bill. It affirms the existing standard without equivocation.; It declares that "the dollar consisting oft twenty-five and eight-tenths grains of cold nine-tenths fine shall, as established by section 3511 of the Revised Statutes of fhe (United States, continue to be the standard unit of value, and aitl forms of money issued or coined by the United States shall be maintained at a parity of value with this standard." la the next place, the Senate bill, like that of the House, provides that the greenbacks and the treasury notes of the law of 1890 "shall be redeemed in gold coin" of the standard specified. In the third place, a reserve fund of $150,000,- 000 is set apart for redemption purposes, and the treasury is given power to issue bonds for the maintenance of that trust fwd. The House bill provides for a re­ serve fund equal to 25 per oe«t of the outstanding volume of government notes, which at present would amount to less than $109,000,000. Again, the Senate bill enlarges the privileges of the nation­ al banks by allowing them to issue notes up to the par value of bonds deposited. It provides for a reduction of the tax on circulation issued not, indeed, against all bonds, but against bonds bearing only 2 per cent interest. The House bill does away with this tax altogether, but it imposes instead a tax equal to that elim­ inated on the capital and surplus and un­ divided profits of the banks. The House bill converts all outstanding "coin" bonds into gold obligations.- The Senate committee has refused to do this. It leaves the coin bonds as they are, mak­ ing it possible for a secretary to redeem them in silver. The House bill also au­ thorises the exchange by the treasury of gold for silver, which proyisiOn the Sen­ ate bill omits. CI.OSE AFTER "AGGIE."

A passenger rate war has begun which threatens to become fhe greatest ever known. Already all the lines forming di­ rect routes from New England to Cali­ fornia are involved. From present indi­ cations the war will be between the Van- derbilt and Pennsylvania systems, and the Northwestern, Rock Island, Burling­ ton and St. Paul roads on one side, and all the differential lines between Chicago and-the Atlantic coast, with the South ern Pacific, Santa Fe and Illinois Central roads on the other side. So far only rates on traffic to California are seriously affected, but signs of de­ moralization are apparent on all classes of traffic. The present trouble grows di­ rectly out of the old controversy of East­ ern railroads over differential rates. Sec ond-class tickets from Boston to San Francisco are being sold for about $io less than the regular second-class rate from Chicago to San Francisco. Municipal Matter*.
