Washington, April 7,-From the last dally statem.-nt Issued by th. treasury department It nppwirs that tho expen ditures for the current fiscal year to date, of aso days, imve exceeded tne re celots lv SI2.:9,41tO, tho totals standing ExDemlltuVes. SlWiSC.ttSC; receipts, fcM2.093.1ttiW These IlKures, which embody more than three-fourths or the llseal year, enow that the receipts are runnltiK at the rate of piCi.OOO a day and the ex penditures at the rate of $l.ori.oOO a duy. If the same ratio obtains for the. balance of the fiscal year, the ac counts would stand: Kxpenilltures, IS7O.475.0OO; receipts, JJ15.723.000. This would leave an excess of expen ditures over receipts of $55,000,000. The expenditures are pared down to the lowest limit of economy consistent with fixed appropriations made by law and ore likely to be Increased rather than diminished. The Increases In this fiscal year have arisen from two principal sources, viz.:AppropriatIons by the last congress made Immediately available and the quarterly Interest payments on the $165,000,000 of United States bonds Issued within fourteen months to pro tect'aml strengthen the treasury gold reserve. So far this month the ex penditures on the "Civil and miscel laneous" account, the account that car ries the principal Items mai'e immedi ately available by congress, are $500,000 in excess of the corresponding period last month. It is- therefore to increase receipts that the treasury must turn to bring the treasury receipts and expenditures closer together and bear out the es timate laid before congress which claimed that at the end or the fiscal year the deficiency will then only be J20.000.000. Cunse for Hope. Important statistics yesterday made public by the bureau of statistics hold out a hope that the Increased revenues from sugar duties may come up to the estimates. Indications of a general re vival In commercial prosperity are also pointed to as promising equally satis factory results from other sources of revenue. The question ns to what amount of money will or will not be do rived from the, Income tax seems to be the only Important doubtful factor left m tne treasury calculation, anff-thls can only be solved when the supreme court makes public Its decision in an au thoritative way. This will probably be done tomorrow, but it is by no means an absolute certainty that the decision will be then rendered. The treasury has now a total working capital of $157,000,000, with $1S,00(),000 still owing from the bond pyndicate. Treasury officials therefore think that the treasury will not become em barassed even If no revenue from the Income tax is derived, and that It will not be necessary to Issue any more bonds before congress will assemble In next pecember and provide revenue Irom other sources. CLOUDS OF V, AK IX EUROPE. Emperor William Threatens to Toko t'p Arras Against Kiissla-Swedcn and Nor way to Fight. Berlin, April 7. The maturing con flict between Norway and Sweden has given rise to strange reports in Berlin. Since Tuesday It has been a common statement that, should the two king doms resort to force, Emperor William would take up arms rather than permit the threatened interference of Iiussla, He Is said to have promised King Oscar as much. Although the official circle discredits this report, the mere thought of It has sufficed to fasten general at tention upon the swift course of events in the Scandinavian peninsula. Yesterday's dispatches from Stock holm, while not confirming the predic tions of war, describe the situation as very serious. Russia's attitude Is in doubt, but as usual she Is suspected of designs upon Norway. With the alarmist rumors of the em peror's promise to King Oscar has come a batch of gossip as to the rela tions between Pt. Petersburg and Ber lin The twn murts nre RnnnoHed to be less friendly now than a few years ago. The statement that the czar and czar ina will not come to Berlin this year Is regarded as additional proof of the es trangement, although, as the czarina's accouchment' Is expected to take place early In September, It Is dlflicult to see how the visit could be made even if Russia and Germany were on the verge of an alliance.

Though It is not the first time a thing of tlmi kind has been attempted, I oannoit avoid a feeling of Indignation that any mun who makes any claim to decency, and especially one who assumes the role of the Christian minister, should permit himself to become a dissemina tor of wholesale lies nd calumnies not less stupid than they are cruel and wicked.

"For the sake of the Christian re ligion I am thankful that these scandal mongerlng ministers are few and on every account I am glad that the American people love fair play and jus tice, and that in spite of all efforts to mislead them they are apt to form a correct estimate of the character and labors of their public servants."

About 2 o'clock this nfternoon Gov ernor Clarke called at Gleason's hotel, where he met Jones In the lobby. He requested a private Interview with Jones In order that he might have an understanding with him. Jones replied that he would go nowhere with him, and that if he had any business with him he could transact it where they were. This angered the governor, and he spat in Jones' face. Jones spat back at the governor, who drew a large pistol, but was prevented from shoot ing by several bystanders. Clarke was arrestees by a constable, but was re leased on his own recognizance. The governor will plead guilty tomorrow In a justice court to assault. UNDONE BY ASTREET BAND fondness for Music Lends to a Young Forger's Arrest. Doylestown, Pa., April 7.

Stucks was killed about 1 o'clock this morning in tho "Rabbit Foot" saloon, a notorious negi 3 dive on WeRt Bay street. A crowd of negroes were In the saloon and Gleen drew a pistol on another negro. Stucks Jokingly said that he would take the pistol away from Glenn, and advanced toward him. lie passed by Glenn, however, and went toward a room In the back of the saloon. As he neared the door he turned around, and Glenn pulled out his pistol and fired, and Stucks fell dead. No words passed between the two men, and no quarrel of any kind was heard. Glenn turned and lied, pursued by a lurge crowd of negroes who soon lost sight of him In the darkness. The Hunt for Glenn. Shortly afterward Lieutenant Minor, Sheriff Howden und other officials he can an organized hunt for Glenn, and about 5 o'clock this morning they start ed their game, "ling Jim," one of the negroes subsequently shot, was In front of the pursuers and he found the negro hiding on a lighter in a creek. The murderer ran, followed by a crowd of people. Glenn was finally run down in a barn, where he took refuge in a loft behind a pile of lumber, which formed an effectual barricade. Lieu tenant Minor called oh Glenn to sur render, and the negro answered with a shot. The officers returned the fire, emptying their pistols, but the negro was effectually protected by the lum ber. 'Rag Jim" was hit In the thigh by a bullet from Glenn's pistol. Policeman Minor was shot-through the heart and killed. A littl bootblack cntejed the door, only to receive a bullet In his thigh, which, however, did not Inflict a serious wound. The fusllade had now continued for ten minutes and of the four men who had entered the barn to arrest Glenn, one was dead, and two were wounded. Lieutenant Jim Minor (another police officer), however, was still In the barn firing at Glenn, who lay In safety behind the lumber. Sudden ly Glenn rose up and fired and dropped back behind the lumber. Then Lieu tenant Minor felt his ankle give way and knew he was wounded. Desperado Surrenders. But the shot that wounded the lieu tenant had exhausted Glenn's ammuni tion, and the next moment he called out; "Lieutenant, I will give up, If you won't let them kill me." "All right," replied Minor, "throw down your pistol and come down." The negro obeyed and the next min ute Lieutenant Minor led the prisoner from the barn. The officer led the negro toward the city hall, which was more than a mile away, followed by an immense crowd clamoring for the man's blood. Near the city jail Policeman Holland ap proached with pistol drawn, swearing he would kill tho negro and avenge his brother officer. The lieutenant placed his pistol against Holland's head and said: "This man Is a prisoner. If you shoot him I will blow out your brains." So Lieutenant Minor brought the negro safely to Jail. This was 8 o'clock, and by 9 there were rumors that a mob was forming to storm the jail and lynch tho negro. The mob was said to be composed of negroes as well as white men, as the former were enraged over the killing of Stucks by Glenn. This rumor proved to be untrue, but the olliclals In order to run no risk, removed the murderer secretly from the Jail to St, Augustine, where he was placed .In jail. Brit Glenn, the murderer, is about 35 years old and Is noted among the negroes as a desperate man. BUXCOEP THE BANKERS.

Plttnton, April 7. The borough of Hughestown, a miburb of the city of Plttston, wus thrown Into a great state of excitement this quiet Sunday morn ing at 9.20, on the discovery of the corpse of a murdered woman, whicn was found at the residence of George Wliullsh, on Center street. Neighbors were summoned to the scene und Identified the body as tlmt'of Elizabeth Wlndlsh, the wife of George Wlndlsh. Several stories us to who hud committed the deed were current. A jury were empanelled by Coroner James Gibbons and sent to view the scene of the murder. The Wlndlsk family were composed of the father, mother, and three children, George Frank and So phia, uged respectfully 17, 12 und 10 years. Wlndlsh and his wife had been miss ing for several days. Their absence caused no comment, as they had often before left home without warning and remained away for several days. This morning the oldest son, George, became suspicious and began a search about the premises. He soon discov ered, by peeping through tho blinds from the outside, a bulky object In an unused parlor, covered over with a Brussels carpet. A liliiistly Spectacle- The neighbors were notified of tho youth's suspicions. J. F. Smalts being tho first upon the scene, forced an en trance to the room by an Inner door, which had always been kept locked and which the children had not been allowed to enter. A ghastly sight met the gaze of the Intruders as the carpet was raised. Thero, laying on the lloor, face down In a pool of blood, was the corpse of the murdered Woman. Several cuts were found about the head and face. The walls and celling of the room In which the murder had been committed were spaftered with many blood stains, giving evidence that t terrible struggle must have occurred. Upon further search the clothing usual ly worn by Wlndlsh was found blood stained In a bed room. The pants had been secreted beneath the mnttress of the bed; the rubber boots were found under the bed, and a blood-stained vest was found hanslnir inside out on a chair near by. A cjiisel nearly eighteen Inches long and one and a half Inches wide was found covered with blood between the covering of the bed. The last time Mrs. Wlndlsh was seen alive was last Thursday noon at 12 o'clock. The Supposed Murderer. Wlndlsh had been for many years employed as minor at No. 8 shaft of the Pennsylvania Coal company. About two weeks ago Wlndlsh gave up his work and had been making plans to take one of his frequent trips. He had made several efforts to se cure money by mortgaging the little home, to which his spouse objected. He was of German descent and has made several trips to the old country, where he would purchase fancy bas kets, etc., which his wife would sell from door to door, nnd thereby be came well known to the people of this vicinity. Wlndlsh, the husband of the mur dered woman, was, lust seen at his home soon after 1 o'clock on Thursday. He came out of the house attired In a light gray suit of clothes, a blue over coat and a Fedora hat. He walked rapidly away from his home toward the central part of the city, where he was again noticed about 3 o'clock. Tho children were absent from the house at thut hour. The boys were nt work nt No. 8 breaker and the daughter was at school. Upon their return home they found the house deserted, but did not pay much attention to the absence of their parents, as they had hoard them speak of a contemplated visit to Hnxle ton. In the oven of the kitchen stove tho children found a loaf of bread that had been burned to a crisp. They bor rowed food of the near neighbors and Beemed to think that there wns nothing unusual In tho disappearance of their parents. Evidently Premeditated. Examination of the house todas showed that the fight between Mr. and Mrs Wlndlsh must have commenced In the dining room, as there were blood stains on the wall. The murderous husband hnd evidently pursued the wo man Into the parlor, where the work was finished. Drs. McFadden and Barrett viewed tbe body and found many wounds on the head sufficient to have caused death. There was a. f otind on the tem ple; on the fack of the head; one ear was cut nearly off nnd the skull was broken In several places. Wlndhh appears to have been an in dividual of brultlsh Instincts. He had frequently mude threats against his wife. About a year ugo, during tho progres of a 'row, he struck her four times with a ninllet nnd undoubtedly would have killed her then but for the" Interference of his son and a young wo man who was visiting the house at tho time. ' . Wlndlnh had evidently been planning the murder of his wife, as It was learned today that ho had mortgaged his property foas large an amount ns could be obtained upon It. The missing man hi about CO years of age, Is six feet and threj inches tall. He has gray eyes; Is of light complexion and usually wore a mustache nnd goatee. It Is thought that he has taken passago for Germany. The coroner's Jury summoned upon the case Is composed of Deputy Coroner James Gibbons, John Pcndergast, John T. Clark, George Schmalts.

Detectives Unearth a Lot of Stolen Goods Near Montroso-Jewelry by tho Pailful and Other Articles Unearthed. Speclul to tho Scranton Tribune. Montrose, April 7. Detective Rob ert Stephenson and William Morgan, agent for the United States Ex press company at Binghamton, are In town, In search of goods supposed ' to have been stolen from the Express company by Clarence Warbeck, who has been employed as a porter and wagon man for the com pany at Jersey Cit:. They have Just returned from the home of James Fox, Warbeck's father-in-law, who lives in Franklin township, three miles ' dis tant from Montrose. A thorough search was made, and a tin pall half filled with cheap Jewelry, a sliver water pitcher and other articles which are alleged to have been stolen by Clarence Warbeck were found. Mr. Fox denies that he knew of the existence of these articles. He has not as yet been arrested for being implicat ed in the robberies and it is thought that he will not be, as his reputation Is that of an honest man and his charac ter Is beyond reproach. The Tribune correspondent saw James Fox this morning. He Is the fnther-ln-law of Clarence Warbeck, the man arrested in Jersey City last Tues day for robbing the United States Ex press company. Mr. Fox's reputation for honesty and integrity is unques tioned and it Is partly through him that the goods which Warbeck sent hero to different members of the family were recovered by Detective Stephen son and Agent Morgan? "Last fall," said Mr. Fox, "my daugh ter, who was working in Binehamton drove to my hou3e In company with Clarence Warbeck. I was not at home and my wife tells me that almost as soon as Warbeck entered the house he asked her permission to marry our daughter. In. my absence she refused to grant his request. The next morn ing the young people returned to Bing hamton and were married in the even ing. I.nvish with His Spoils. "Warbeck soon obtained a position in Jersey City; his wife returned home. The first package 1 ever received from him contained a gun. It was an ele gant double barrelled shotgun and no local gunsmith could put it together. My brother nnd I did. however, when we received a diagram and instructions from Warbeck. "We next received a rifle and shortly afterwards a trunk, which wns so heavy that two of us had hard work to lift It. I was suspicious that some thing was wrong when other packages came. "About a week after a trunk came, Warbeck arrived here and bmke it open; it contained law books. He said there was some mistake about It'yind asked me to take it to Conklin station, on the Delaware, Itckawanna and Western railway, and ship It back to Jersey City.
