Estimates Qlven Last December Indi
cated That It Would Reach
About $114,000,000.
Washington. Tronsury officials nro
pleased at (ho present showing of tho
government Ilnnncos. Ordinarily n de
ficit In tho government rovenues of
$89,811,150, ns shown by Thursday's
statement, would not be n matter of
congratulation. Nevertheless, nt thu
closo of tho ilscal year 1909, thu treas
ury olllclals express much gratification
that tho olllclal estimate of a deficit of
$111,000,000, made last December, has
not been vorlllcd and nro hopeful for
it contlnunnco of thu Improvement
which hnB been especially noted dur
ing tho last four mouths.
Slnco tho December estimates wero
submitted to congress, howover, tho
receipts and expenditures have shown
marked Irregularity, and as lato ub
Fobrunry lust the expenditures wore
Increasing at such a rapid rate, and
tho revenues falling off so sharply,
that It was greatly feared the balance
on tho wrong sldo of tho ledger might
by tho closo of tho Ilscal year reach
$130,000,000.
Hut a slight upturn In customs re
ceipts was noted about, tho mlddlo of
Docombcr. Improvement wns slow,
howover, until nbout tho beginning of
March, when largo Importations wero,
mado, probably Induced Jn part by tho
prospective tarllT chnnges. Tho re
Bult, both of Improving revenues nnd
the Htrong holding down of expondl
turoB has resulted In a greatly re
duced deficiency.
Tho customs receipts for tho year
aggregated $301,2u9,8C3, which Is an
Incronso as compnrod with last year
of $15,000,000. Thu Internal rovenues
produced $2-10,329,003, n decrenso of
about $5,000,000. Miscellaneous ro-"
celpto from all sources during tho
year aggregated $G0 1,132,810, which Is
an Increnso over last year of $3,250,
000. On tho sldu of uxpondlturos, thu
total for tho year was $G91,2-M,002,
which Is nn Incronso over 1908 of
about $37,000,000.
Tho civil und miscellaneous expend
itures amounted to $101,288,538, an
Incronso of $5,000,000 over last year.
Tho War department expenditures
aggregated $lG j,100,212, nn Increnso of
$10,000,000. Tho navy account Is tho
only item in tho list to show d do
crease, the llgures for tho year'ueing
$115,988,809, ns ngninst $118,780,233 for
tho yonr 1908.
Pension pnymontH for tho yonr
amounted to $101,089,123, an Increnso
of about $8,000,000.
Tho expenditures on nccount of tho
Panama cannl woro $0,000,000 less
than for lnat yoar, being $31,420,28G.
It Is fully expected that the now
flBcal year will start with a series of
monthly deficiencies, notably for July,
when tho now appropriations mndo by
congress becomo avallablu. July Inst
year resulted In n deficiency of $24,
808,000, and this would havo boon
nonrer $30,000,000 had It not boon for
tho nntlclpatlon of about $5,000,000,
representing tho last payments to tho
government nccount of tho Inst indebt
edness. In July, 1907, there was a de
ficiency of $10,901,000, and In July,
1900, nnother of $13,511,000.

EMPORARY INJUNCTION ISSUED
IN BANK GUARANTY CASE.
UP FOn FINAL DECREE
Counsel for Both Sides Will File
Briefs and Circuit Court's Final
. Ruling Will Be Made.
A temporary Injunction enjoining
tho governor and tho othor dufendants
named In tho bank guaranty case was
Issued, and restrains tho bnnklng
board named under the statute from
taking possession of the books und
pnpers of the present banking board,
restrains them from Interfering with
tho plaintiff banks, and from enforc
ing nny of tho provisions of tho bnnk
gurnnty act, and Sam Patterson, who
was appointed by tho govoruor to act
us secretary of tho now board, is re
strained from taking chargo of tho de
partment. The order was signed by
WIHIb Vnn Dovnnter, circuit Judge,
and T. C. Munger, district Judge, of
tho federal court. No decision on any
of tho constitutional questions In-
olved was given, and, both parlloa
fonsontlng It wns ordered by the court
that thu caso bo submitted for tho
finnl decree. The demurrer wns filed
by the nttornoys for the Btnto nnd tho
caflo Is now beforo tho court for n de
cision on tho decree. Counsol for 'io
state was given until July 20 to file n
brlot In support of their demurrer and
llvo days will then be allowed tho
counsel for tho banks. In which to
inake their reply. Tho court will then,
nt their convenience, puss upon tho
conBtltutlonnllty of tho law, though
Judgo Van Dovnnter Btated that n de
cision would bo handed down In u
lompnratlvoly Bhort time. In caso tho
circuit court should decldo tho law un
constitutional tho Injunction would
bo mado permanent and tho caso
would bo 'appealed to tho federal su
premo court. In caso tho circuit
court should hold tho law to be con-
stltutlonnl. tho lnw might or might
not bo enforced pending tho hearing
beforo the federal supremo court. In
tho latter caso tho counsel for tho
bnnkB would apply for a writ of super
sedeas, which tho court might or
might not grant. If It saw fit to grant
tho writ In such n caso tho offect
would bo that while thoy regarded tho
iaw constitutional It should not bo en
forced ponding tho decision of tho
United Stntcs supremo court on tho
caso. It is thought by somo lawyers
that should tho circuit court decldo In
favor of the constitutionality of tho
statute It would refuso to grant tho
Bupersedeas.
