Oct. 15.—Estimates of government expenditure for the next fiscal year totaling about $1,240,000.0011 and the largest ever submitted in time of peace were to be presented to-day to the secretary of the treasury. This was 'he day specified under the law for submitting the estimates, al though there is no penalty attached for failure to do so.

Estimates for the other departments, except State, war and navy and possibly commerce are about the same as last year.
