purposes were $41. "J, 933. 900. 5. leaving
on excess of receipts over expenditures
of $9,015,453.00. During that fiscal year
140,570, 4-VT.93 were paid upon public
debt, which was reduced since March
l,1889,$250,OT0,S9O, and annual interest
charge decreased S11.63.576.C0. The
receipts of the government from all

June 20, 1893, amounted to $401,716,
501.94, and its expenditures to $459,
274,887.05, showing an excess of re
ceipts over expenditures of $2,341
674.29.
"Since that time the receipts of no
fiscal year, and, with but few excep
tions, of no month of any fiscal year,
have exceeded the expenditures. The
reotipU of the government from all
sources during the fiscal year end
ing June 30, 1894, were $372,892,498.29,
and its expenditures $442,005,758.87,
leaving a deficit, the first since the re
sumption of specie payments, of $69
803,260.53. Notwithstanding there was
a decrease of $16,709,128.78 in the ordi
nary expenses of the government as
compared with the previous fiscal
year, its, income was still not sufficient
to provide for its daily necessities, and
the gold reserve in tlie treasury for
the redemption of greenbacks was
drawn upon to meet them.
Bead Issues Adverted To.
"But this did not suffice, and the
government then resorted to loans to
replenish the reserve. In February,
1S94, $50,000,000 in bonds were issued,
and in November following a second
issu 3 of $50,000,900 was deemed neces
sary. The sum of $117, 171 ,795 was
realized by the sale of these bonds, but
the reserve was steadily decreased un
til on February 8, 1895, a third sale of
$02,315,400 in bonds, for S05,116,244
was announced to Congress.
The receipts o the fiscal year, Juaa
30. 1895, were $390,373,203.30 and the
expenditures $433,178,426.45, showing
a deficit of 548,805,223.18. A further
loan of $100,000,000 was negotiated by
the government in February, 1896. the
sale netting $111,106,246 and swel
ling the aggregate of bonds is
sued within three years to $262,315,400.
For the fiscal year ending June 30,
1893, the revenues of the government
from all sources amountctTto $409,475,
403.73, while its expenditures were
$434,673,654.49, or an excess of expend
itures over receipts of $.,203,245.70.
In other words, the total receipt for
the three fiscal years ending June 30,
189C, were insufficient by $137,311,
729.46 to meet the total expenditures.
The Situation Not Itaprovlac
"Nor has this condition since im
proved. For the first half of the pres
ent fiscal year the receipts of the gov
ernment exclusive of postal revenues
were $157,30, 603.70, and its expendi
tures exclusive of postal service $195,
410,000.22, or an excess of exdenditures
over receipts of S37,902,396.4i. In Jan
nary of this year the receipts exclusive
of postal revenues were $24,316,994.05,
and the expenditures exclusive of
postal service 530,269,339.29 a deficit
of $5,952,395.21 for the month. In
February of this year the receipts
exclusive of postal revenues were
$24, 100,997. 3S and expenditures exclu
sive of postal service $23,796,050.G6t a
deficit of $4,395,059.23; or a total deficit
of $186,031,530.44 for the three vears
and eight months ending March 1,
1397. Not only arc we without a sur
plus in the treasury.-, but with an in
crease in the public debt there has
been a corresponding increase in the
annual interest charge from $22,99:
8S3.20 in ls'J-, the lowest of any year
since iso.', to 734,357,297.00 in 1S96, or
an increase of $11,493,414.40.
"It may be urged that even if the
revenues of the government had beea
sufficient to meet all its ordinrry ex
penses during the past three years,th
gold reserve wpuld still have been in
sufficient to meet the demands upon it
and that bonds would neccssaiily hare

juarp awaaehee er the nrty-nrth Cea-
f&i. evees la Order.
Ojox, March. .16. r-Th. .amain
internet ia the assembling of the Fif
ty-fifth Congress in extra session to
day under President McrTinley's call,
centered in the House where organiza
tion and the seat lottery were the
drawing cards. Great crowds were in
the galleries hours before noon, but
the general public had small oppor
tunity to view the proceedings. The
section opposite the Speaker s rostrum
commonly known as the "black belt."
which has a seating capacity of 300,
was given up to the public. The other
galleries were strictly reserved for
ticket holders.
The most striking feature of the
scene on the floor was the number of
new faces. Figures conspicuous in the
shock of many a parliamentary battle,
had disappeared, and instead wore new
and untried men. The change in the
personnel was very great
By 11 o'clock the reserve galleries
with the exception of those for tho
diplomatic corps, and the executive
were crowded. The bright costumes
of the ladies gave light and color to
the scene.
As tho hands of the clock pointed to
12, Major McDowell, clerk of tho last
House, rapped the members to order
and then the Rev. Mr. Coudcn. the
blind chaplain, delivered the invoca
tion. The clerk then read the President's
proclamation convening Congress and
the roll was called.
Thomas B. Reed of Maine was re
elected Speaker, the vote standing:
Reed, 199; Bailey of Texas, 114; Bell,
Populist of Colorado, 21; Ncwlands,
Silverite. Nevada, 1.
The other "Republican caucus nomi
nees for the various House offices were
then elected. All held similar posi
tions in the last House.
In the Senate there was an abund
ance of flowers on the desks when Mr.
Hobart rapped for order, and there
was an exceptionally full attendance.
The public galleries were packed and
the reserved galleries well filled. Tho
chaplain's opening prayer invoked
divine grace and blessing on the sen
ators and members now about to take
np the work of the extraordinary ses
sion, and upon the President and Vice
President.
The roll call disclosed the presence
of sixty-eight senators. The new sen
ator from Kansas, W. A. Harris, took
the oath of office.
Mr. McBride of Oregon presented the
credentials of Henry W. Corbett, ap
pointed by the Governor of Oregon to
fill the vacancy caused by the failure
to elect a successor to Mr. Mitchell.
The Governor's certificate was read,
and Mr. McBride requested that the
new senator be sworn in if there wcra
no objection, but Mr. Gray of Dela
ware said that unusual circumstances
attended the appointment and that the
credentials should be scrutinized. He
moved that they be referred to the
committee on' privileges and elections,
and it prevailed by unanimous vote.
Mr. Hoar and Mr. Cockrell were
named a committee to wait on the
President and inform him that Con
gress was in session and ready to re
ceive any communication from him,
and the Senate then, at 12:20 o'clock,
took a recess until 2 o'clock.
SENATE REORGANIZATION
Much Dependent oa Gold Democrats
The Finance Committee Contest.
Washisotox, March 16. The ques
tion of the anti-Ilepubhcan organiza
tion of the Senate plainly depends
upon the attitude of the gold Demo
crats, whose votes are absolutely
necessary. A number of the free coin
age Democrats favor ignoring entirely
these Senators, but they are confronted
at the outset with the statement that
such action will absolutely prevent the
wresting from the Republicans of tlie
committee chairmanships and auy re
organization of the Senate officials
which would increase Democratic
patronage.
The reconstruction of the finance
committee will be the most important
act in the reorganization of the senate,
provided it be found possible to effect
"any reorganization whate"er. All tlie
great questions upon which the issues
of the late Presidential campaign were
fought, and which involve party as
well as. governmental policies, will be
formulated by that committee. In the
last congress, although nominally
under the domination of the Repub
licans, it was in reality controlled
by the silver men, who subordinated
every question of revenue to
that of free coinage. Its para
mount importance is well understood
by the opposition, and they may be re
lied upon to exercise their power to
maintain their domination, if possible.
In the possible reconstruction the
coinage question will be the founda
tion upon which the committee will
rest There is no disposition to ob
struct the Republicans in their efforts
to formulate a tariff bill, beyond a pur
pose to insist that a measure shall be
formulated on conservative lines.
As now constituted the committee
is composed of the following senators,
the names being in the order of seni
ority: Morrill, Jones ot Nevada, Alli
son Aldrich, Piatt, Wolcott, Harris of
Tennessee, Vest, Jones of Arkansas,
White and Walthall. There are two
vacancies caused by the retirement of
Messrs. Sherman and Voorhees. K is
assumed that these will be filled by
the appointment of a Republican tc
succeed Sherman and a Democrat to
succeed Voihees. If that course is
followed the committee will stand po
litically, so far as the currency ques
tion is concerned, precisely as during
the preceding session.

Lincoln dispatch: The house of rep-
rescutatives' is ia posaesaioa of tne
ballots cast at the last Xovember elec

the member of the canvassing board!
were watching the ballot doxks, anu
the committee in the name of the leg
islature, took possession.
The members of the board protested,
and they with two guards that had
lieen on watch endeavored to prevent
the sergeant-at-arms and the commit
tee from carrying out their purpose.
The six canvassers and their two
guards were powerless to prevent the
others from carrying out their plana
and now the ballots are locked up in

The resolution authorizing the seiz
ure of the ballots was preseated to the
iiouse by Sheldon of Dawes county and
was in this form:
-That the committee heretofore ap
liointed to confer with a like com

Senator Beal introduced in the sen
ate a resolution providing for the
appointment of a committee of the
senate to act with a like committee of
the house to devise ways and means
for carrying on the count winch had
been suspended under the injunction
issued by the district court judge, C.
L. Hall of Lancaster county. This
resolution was adopted and the lieu
tenant governor appointed Senators
Ifcal, Mutz and Feltz on the committee.
The respective committees held a con
ference which resulted in an agree
ment that tlie legislature must take
possession of the ballots and conduct
the count. Xo other plan was consid
ered practicable, for all other plans
left the canvassers exposed to the in
terference of the delays by the
restraining orders obtained through
the courts. Accordingly the poll boxes
were taken possession of in the man
ner before stated. Gov. Holcomb, itis
said, will present to each house a bill
calling for a recount by a legislative
committee. He will include a call
for a recount of two more amend
ments, the amendment providing for
the investment of the permanent
school fund and another placing three
railroad commissioners in the list of
the elective officers. Further move
ments arc looked forward to with a
great deal of interest.
Latek. There have been no-exciting
developments over the controversy re
garding recount of the constitutional
amendments. Tlie ballots have re
mained in the fire proof vault in the
office of the secretary of state.
Tlie doors of the room in which
the vault is located are locked
and the scrgeant-at-arms of the
house or one of his deputies is con
stantly on guard to ward off an an
ticipated attack. There will Iw a bill
introduced in the Iiouse or senate pro
viding for counting the ballots and
declaring the result of the election on
tlie proposition to adopt amendments
to the constitution. The form and
substance of this bill was agreed
upon in a joint caucus of the
fusion incmliers of the house antl
senate. The caucus had before it a
draft of a bill which had been prepared
to meet the suggestions contained in
the governor's message. Tlie question
of whether a bill or a joint resolution
should be adopted was discussed at
some length, and it was agreed that
the latter would be best. 1 1 was agreed
that the bill should provide that the
ballots lc taken charge of by a joint
committee of four niemWrs of the
house and three members of the senate
and counted. It will provide that one
republican from each house may be
appointed. I Here is no limit as to the
waj in which the canvass Is to lie
completed. It is provided thatthc act
of February "0. 1SU7. be repealed and
the memliers of the committee may
employ as many clerks as may le
