United State * Treasurer' * Statement.
WASHINGTON , June 20. The treas
urer's statement shows a net cash bal-
unce of but § 1,235,000 , which is the
lowest figure yet reached. It is said
that the treasurer's statement to be is-
Bued at once , will show a deficiency oi
$600,000 instead of the usual net cash
balance. This is the first time this has
occurred since the present form ol
statement was adopted by Treasurer
/ordan. / In making this calculation ,
nowevcr , no account is taicen of the
| -22.000,000 deposited in national banks
tnd the Jf O.000,000 millions fraction-
tl silver in the treasury. The expend
itures so far this month have been
| 'i , 1SSbi'o in excess of the entire rev-
Junes of the government during the
tame period , amounting to $18,221-
: o ± These were exceeded by the pen-
lion payments alone , which amounted
: o ? lbili' , 155.
Treasury om'cials say that the ex
penditures during the remainder of the
nonth will be light and that the re-
reipts will be sufficiently heavy to
Overcome the present excess of ex-
'enditurcs and leave a small surplus
> r the month. The same oflicials say
Kit the treasurer's statement will not
.ciuue the receipts during the past
l.vo days , and that if it does an actual
J.irpius of $2,000. OL'O ' would be shown
lastead of an apparent deficiency.
Emporium Decision in .THiitiig Claim * .
Boisi : CITY. Idaho , June 20. Judge
Lorenzo Sawyer of the United States
circuit court rendered a decision in the
long pending mining case of J. M.
Buck against the Bunker Hill mining
company of Wardner. The suit in
volves the question of the original
jurisdiction of the courts in suits
brought in support of adverse claims
for patents to mining claims , and it
establishes a clear precedent. The
decision is in favor of the plaintiff on
every point. The case involves the
title of mining property valued at sev
eral million dollars in northern Idaho.
United States District Judge Beatty
concurred.
Finance * of tit ? Nation.
NEW YOKK , June 20. The statement
of the United States treasury shows a
cash balance of § 48,001,264.20 , of
which $23,627,411.98 is the balance in
national banks and § 20.220,960.36
fractional silver and minor coin , show
ing after deducting these items , an
apparent overdraft of $787,108.04.
The receipts during the month up to
date being $10,284,036.36 ; expendi
tures , $25 , 298,163.98 ; other items of
paid interest , checks and other public
debt payments making the difference
between the receipts and expenditures.
1'et this does not show the exact con-
iition of the United States treasury.
Inere is no deficit.
To make it thoroughly intelligible
to the public it must be stated that the
treasurer's accounts are always two to
three days behind the actual receipts
? f the treasury , as shown by tiie books
af the secretary of the treasury. The
receipts of the departments uii over
the country are known up to date by
.he secretary , and often during the
Tionth the treasurer's daily report is
, hours behind
wenty-fotir to thirty-six
.he secretary's receipts. This is also
; o in regard to expenditures. War-
ants are drawn by the secretary which
laturally in the course of business re-
niire time to reach the treasurer's
) fiiee. In this way often during the
niddie or end of the month the treas-
irer's report is behind in expenditures
is well as receipts , but by the end of
he month it is caught up and on tiie
irst of each month the secretary and
reasurer's statement agree. For in-
itance the treasurer's report today
ihows receipts up to date , $10,284. -
)36.3G ) , expenditures $2u,298,103.98 ,
vhich overdraws the cash balance ,
ifter deducting deposits in national
banks and fractional silver and minor
coins , of $787,107.04.
On the other hand take the state
ment of actual receipts and expendi
tures up to date-as shown by the sec
retary's books today : Balance on hand
June" ] , $10,138,000 ; receipts up to
June IS , IS. 222,000 : receipts on yes
terday , June 19 , $863,000 ; total. $29-
223,000. Payments up to the close of
the day yesterday , June 19 , $26,311-
000 , ( this includes over $1S,000,000
pensions ) , leaving an available bal
ance of $2,812,000 outside of deposits
in banks which are as much available
as in the vaults of the treasury. This
amounts to $23,000,000 , It is worthy
of special notice in this connection to
call attention to the fact that most
pension payments just made are marked
special to hurry them through for
those needing the money , thus making
them appear in the treasurer's state
ment several days earlier than they
otherwise would have done.
Another point is that the secreta
ry's statement includes internal reve
nue receipts for this week up to date ,
while the treasurer's statement has not
yet taken up the entire revenue re
ceipts for the week ending June 13.
The reason is that the treasurer gets
his receipts by transcripts of accounts
current from national banks four times
each month , about every Saturday , the
period ending that day unless the end
of the month runs over a day or so
into the next week , while the secreta-
f
- s
ry receives his by certificates of d
.posit issued daily aim forwarded dail
to the department.

Sullivan Say lie IVHI Fifjht.
NEAV YOKK , June 22. The grcal
John L. Sullivan has decided to come
to his country's rescue. No longer can
he suffer the humiliation of seeing tin
colors of foreign pugilists waved aloft
on his native soil. He has authorized
James Wakely of this city and Charles
Johnson of Brooklyn , two of his former
backers , to match him against Frank
Siavin , the Australian. The conditions
he names call for ten rounds. Queens-
bury rules , $10,000 aside in stakes ,
winner to take all , and the match to
be contested before the athletic club
which offers the largest purse.
These stipulations were included in
1 telegram which he sent from San
Jose , Cai. , to James Wukely. Siavin
will probabiy accept. He promises to
return from England in fourteen
: nonths , and the champion , by that
Lime , will have concluded his Austra-
.ian engagement , and will be ready to
jo into training.
Of all the men who saw the contest
Between Siavin and Kilrain on Tuesday
light , none watched it with greater
nterest than did James Wakeiey and
L'iuirles Johnson , who furnished a good
: > art of Sullivan's $10,000 stake in his
iglit with Kilrain at Kichburg. They
ire b.otn good judges of the sport and
ire convinced that had Sullivan been
n the Baltimorean's piace there would
uive been three heartbroken passen-
fers in one of the big ocean steamers
vhich will sail for Europe on Saturday
Paddy Shivin , Charley Mitchell and
jeorge Washington Moore. Waiiely
ind Johnston are ready to match the
menoiucmil American pugilist against
vilrain's latest conqueror for $10,000
L side.
If this proposition meets with favor
n the eyes of Siavin , the match , which
rill be the most important pugilistic
vent in the history of the ring , can
> e made at once. Siavin will leave
; an Francisco for Australia June 2o.
! oth can depart from this country
latched to battle for the world's cham-
ioiiship and the largest amount of ,
loney ever fought for in this or any
ther country. Wakely and Johnston !
ill meet the big Australian at anyj
our the latter may name to-day or to-S '
lorrow to post a forfeit and sign pro-
.minarv articles.
Fell Front a.
PAIIIS , June 22. A balloon contain-
ig a professional aeronaut named
rancoeur and two other persons made
n ascent from La Yillette , the aerial
enture being watched by crowds of
eopie.
When the balloon had reached a
naignt oi not more tnan sixty leet tne
aeronaut who had been engaged about
the outside of the car , was seen to sud
denly lose his balance , make a des
perate effort to regain it , and then fail
whirling to the earth. He was picked
up so terribly injured that it is said
there is no prospect of saving his life.
In the meanwhile the balloon and
its two remaining occupants , both of
whom were utterly ignorant of the
manner in which a balloon is handled ,
mounted higher and higher into the
air , growing smaller and smaller un
til finally lost sight of among the
clouds.

tion of the cabinet meeting , among
others continued coinage of silver
bullion , the final disposition of the
question of extending the 41 per cent

.MUi's , O. , June IS. The second
end day's proceedings of the republi
can convention were opened will
prayer , after which the report of tin
committee on credentials was prcacntec
and adopted. The committee on per
manent organization reported the name
of Asa S. Newhall of Clark county foi
permanent chairman of the conven
tion and E. J. Kessinger of Athens foi
permanent secretary. Chairman Bush ,
nell's address was brief. He merely
thanked the convention for the honor
and then declared nominations in or
der. Ex-Uovernor Foraker arose to
present the name of William Mclvin-
iey for governor. At the sight of the
familiar figure of the ex-governor and
sturdy campaigner the convention
fairly went mad with enthusiasm. He
spoke in enthusiastic terms of McKinley -
ley and when he resumed his scat the
Convention again cheered him to the
echo
Colonel Kobert Harlan , the colored
orator of Cincinnati , seconded McKin-
nomination "on behalf of the
Colored voters of Ohio. " With one
hilarious cheer ol affirmation the con
vention declared .Major McKinicy nom
inated for governor by acclamation ,
und a committee wa.s apnoia e.I to ap
prise him of his ncr.iinaliaa and escort
him to the hall.
His appcr uc was the signal for
another outburst of enthusiasm. The
hero of the day received his honors by
simply bowing his acknowledgment ,
After expressing his things for the
nomination , Ml * . MeKinley proceeded
to say that the republican party f Ohio
approves the administratk'-n of Presi
dent Harrison , and extends its hearty
congratulations. It has been clean ,
aonservative , able and patriotic. It
! has "reen wise in its domestic policy ,
end thoroughly American in its foreign.
It has won the confidence of the people
ple at home : it commands universal
respect abroad. The party is in favor
of a regulated immigration , which
shall be just and reasonable , and
humane. Our shores should be made
impassible to the vicious , the criminals
and the public dependents of other
lauds , but not inhospitably to the hon
est and virtuous and those who are in
disposed to our institutions , seeiciug
new and happier homes , reauy to share
the burdens as weil as tiie blessings of
our society. It demands ami will re
quire a strict enforcement of existing
laws and such additional safeguards as
will protect our citi/enship and our
labor. Tiie remainder of the speech
was devoted to a defense of the cur
rency , tariff' and state issues.
For lieutenant governor , Andrew L.
Harris of Preble county was nomin
ated on the first ballot.
Other nominations were made as
follows : Attorney general , J. K. Rich
ards ; treasurer , W. 'J' . Cope ; supreme
judge , Marshall J. Williams ; auditor ,
E. W. Poe ; member of tiie board of

The committee on resolutions re
ported as follows :
The republicans of Ohio in conven
tion assembled express their adhesion
to the principles which have guided
them heretofore in promoting the pros
perity and happiness of the American
ueonic. !
- * i
We reaffirm our devotion to the j
patriotic doctrine of protection , and j
recognize the MeKinley bill as tiie i
: ibiest expression of that principle , en- '
icted in fulfillment of republican promises - I
ises , and we pleuVe ourselves to its
bupport , always having in view its improvement - j
provement , us changed conuitions or
ixperience may require.
Second We favor such legislation '
jy congress and in this stale as will in I
jvery practicable manner encourage , !
protect and promote the interests of
rgricuiture in ail its departments. The I
protection of labor and the riirhts of i
CJ
* - .
laborers , such as will grant , to toilers j
full and just rewards , is among the first
obligations of the government.
Third We demand protection for
the wool industry , equal to that accorded - j
corded to the most fn oreu manufacturing -
turing nation of wool , so tnat in cue '
time American wool growers will supply - ,
ply all wools of every kind required ,
for consumption in the United States.
'
Fourth Thoroughly believing that
gold and silver should form tiie basis
of ail the circulating medium , we indorse - t
dorse the amended coinage act of the '
last republican congress uy which the '
entire production of the silver mines
of tbe United States is added to the
currency of the people. i '
Fifth We demanc. and wul contin-
tie to demand until lina'.iy and abso- '
lutciy secured , the free exercise by
every citizen of the supreme and sov
ereign right to cast one ballot at all !
lawful elections and have it honestly t
counted. j
Sixth While inviting to our t-hores
the worthy poor and oppressed of other - ,
er nations , we demand the enactment [
of laws that will protect our country j
and our people against the influx of j
the vicious and criminal classes of foreign - ;
eign nations and the importation of '
laborers under contract to compete
with our own citizens , and earnestly '
approve the rigid enforcement of ex
isting laws by the present national ad
ministration.
Seventh We favor economy in the
'
administration of national : ind state
affairs ; prompt and effective restraint ,
of combinations of capitalists for pur
poses unlawful or at variance with
sound public policy ; the reservation of
the public lands of the United States
for homesteads for American citizens
and the restoration to the public do
main of all unearned railroad grants ;
and we cotemplate with pride the pro
gress of republican legislation and ad
ministration in all of the directions
named.
Eighth The republican party , ever
mindful of the services of the heroic
men who saved the union , favors lib
eral pensions to the sailors and sold- 1 {
iers of the republic and a generous. | [
care of their widows and orphans. ( i
Ninth The patriotism , wisdom and 11
ability of the administration of President - { )
dent Harrison command our cordial [
approbation and we especially com- j
menu the policy of reciprocity by I
which our trade may be vastly increased - ,
creased by commercial treaties with j
other nations , : ind we also commend
the vigorous policy of the administration - |
tion which has commanded the respect
of foreign nations for tiie Hag of our '
country. | J
Tenth We commend the patriotic ' ,
services of our distinguished fellow
citizens , Senator Sherman , and his republican -
publican colleagues in the Fifty-first
congress.
Eleventh We congratulate President -
dent Harrison and the country upon
