TREASURY DEFICIT.
Expenditures of the Year Amount to $600,000,
ooo Wr Department Oct m8,ooo,ooo
and Pensioners $139,000,000.
It Is regarded as a conservative esti
mate that the treasury deficit for the
fiscal year lt99, which close this
month, will be less than 1100,000,000.
Already the receipts for the year ag
gregate over J40s.noO.OW, with the ex
penditures barely 1100,000,000 more, w ith
10 days, judging from past years, of
heavy receipts yet to be accounted for,
The customs receipts amount to over
1200.400,000; from Internal revenue $-'63,-(150,000
was realized and from miscel
laneous sources $:i5.r00.000. The re
ceipts Inst year amounted to $405. 321, 3m
while the expenditures aggregated
$44:1,368,562, leaving a deficit of $118,047,
247. From the closest calculation that can
now be made the war revenue act,
which with the exception of a few
Items, went Into effect July 1, 18!8. will
realize for the year a little less than
S100.000.0nn. The receipts from tobacco
alone will probably show an Increase
for the year of over $15,000,000; spirits,
an Increase of $6,500,000; beer and other
fermented liquors, an Increase of over
$28,000,000, and nlnomnrgarlne, an In
crease of about $."iS5.000. The two Items
which have produced more than 10
times as much revenue as any two
others are those applying to documen
tary and proprietary stamps. April 80
these Items had produced over $115,500.
O00, and It Is not Improbable that by
July 1 the total will exceed $44,000,000.
The tax on legacies will probably pro
duce not much In excess of $1,000,000,
while the special tax collected from
bankers will exceed $3,500,000.
The expenditures up to this time ag
gregate about $600,000,000. Of this
amount $228,000,000 was paid out on re
quisitions from the war department;
$84,000,000 on account of the navy; $138.
000.000 on account of pensions, and
nearly $40,000,000 on account of Interest
on the public debt, $12,675,000 was raid
to the Indians and $117,290,000 was dis
bursed on civil and miscellaneous ac
count. At this time It Is Impossible to state
with any degree of certainty what the
war with Spain and the troubles In the
Philippines have cost this year, but an
approximation has been made of the
actual cash payments on these ac
counts, which places the amount at
$230,000,000. A calculation has been
made at the treasury which shows
that leaving out of the reckoning the
$230,000,000 expended this year on ac
count of the war, the $100,000,000 pro
duced by the war revenue act and the
$11,798,314 received from the Central
raclflo, the figures would show a sur
plus for the year approximating $20,000.

fflDIL OHS IS KOI NERVOUS.
CAN HOLD HIS GROUND.
General Miller Thinks (5,000 Men Wilt be Re
quired to Conquer tha Philippine!
Mites Not to Oo to Manila.
Acting. Secretary of War Melklejohn
denied on Sunday that G"n. Otis lias
cabled thnt he will be compelled to
retreat from the positions occupied by
our forces In the Philippines unless he
Is promptly reinforced.
Secretary Alger said thnt during his
absence he hns been kept fully Inform
ed of all dispatches received from Gen.
Otis regarding the situation In the
Philippines. He was not prepared to
cay anything tonight, for publication
respecting what, If any, Increase Is to
be made to the troops under Gen. Otls's
command. Thnt matter will be talked
over with the President as soon as he
returns to Washington from his New
England visit. Gen. Alger said he had
no knowledge of a dispatch alleged to
have been received from Gen. Otis In
which that officer Intimated his In
ability to conquer the Filipinos with
the force under his command and that
he would be obliged to abandon the
ground already taken unless reinforce
ments were quickly sent. All dispatch
es from Oen. Otis were forwarded to
him, he said, and he had seen nothing
of the kind mentioned.
Gen. Marcus P. Miller, who recently
arrived from the Philippines, wnere he
governed Hollo, has been living here
since his return. Oen. Miller's view
as to the number of men, required for
the subjugation of the Islands Is very
different from that of Gen. Otis. He
believes 86.000 men at least are re
quired 30,000 for the control cf Luzon
and the remainder for the restoration
of peace and order In the other Islands.
There Is no truth In the story that Gen.
Miles has applied to be sent to Manila.
Gen. Miles would not wish to take any
action to displace Gen. Otis when that
officer is doing all he can to quell the
rebellion. Notwithstanding the report
to the contrary, the President Is satis
fied with Gen. Otls's course, and has no
Intention of relieving or recalling him.

Prof. Talbert, of Laporte, Ind., who
Is now In Germany, has discovered a
way for a much wider and more scien
tific Investigation of the action of the
brain on the muscles of the body than
hns heretofore been known. It has
long been known that stimulation of
certain parts of the brain would cause
definite responses from certain muscles
of the body.
Professor Tslbert has hit upon the
plan of trephining holes In a dog's
skull, which he will fill with Ivory plugs
to which are attached electrode knobs
resting on the surface of the brain.
Wires are then attached to a battery
and the brain at that point Is stimulat

of the brain governing the leg, eye, nose

nished statistics showing that the aver
age per capita earnings of furm labor

a year without board, compared to $227
paid to persons engaged in domestic
service; $420 paid to miners, and $445
paid to those engaged In tho mechan
ical arts.
Among the farmers' organizations,
which he considered In the nature of
trusts, were the numerous fruit associ
ations of California and other Stntes
and the Milk Producers' Association
of Boston. There Is also a tendency
toward organization among the cotton
growers, and If It ever takes definite
shape it would be the most gigantic
trust In the country. Any law applying
to trusts must bear upon these organi
zations, and there is no doubt, he said,
they had been beneficial.
