403,277.00, and tho ordinary oxponditnrcs for
tho tamo poriod $315,835,428.12, loavlng a but.
. plus of $f5,GG7,8W.51, which, with an amount
drawn from tho cash balanco in tho Treasury
of ij2 1,455,720.40, makes o hurplus of $80',023,-
670 In tho Treasury, as compared with tho

creased $34,003,550.00. Thero was an in

expenditure fr same period, actual and
estimated, aro $316,817,785.48 of tho surplus
revenue
Secretary Fisirchild Bays: "Taxation and
currency reform woro tho questions which my
distinguished predecessor deemed to bo of
most pressing importance, and to them ho
devoted n laj.'go part of tho two annual re
ports which ho mado to tho Congress.
In thoso voports ho statod his honest
convictions with a vigor and boldness which
together with the ability and fairness that ho
fhowod in tho general management of this
department have given him a high placo
among Btabesmon and financiers. I find tho
Fnnio subjects to bo still tho most
important of all those to which
it is my duty to coll your
attention, ana it is not necessary to do oihor
wiu than follow tho general lines laid dawn
by liim in treating them. Circumstances
havo heightened tho Immcdiato urgoncy of
taxation reform as affecting tho surplus
revenues of tho Government. Tho urgoncy
is so great that tho question of surplus
lovcuuos domaiids tho earnest attention of
both tho legishttlvo and executive branohes
of tho Government.
" What shall Ho dono with this surplus rovo
nuo? It comes, into tho Treasury in the form
of gold coin, silver coin, gold cer
tificates and United Statos notes.
The Govern ment , providos, at largo
annual cost. mints and a bureau
of engraving and printing to coin and print
these various forms of monoy and represen
tations of monoy, that thero may bo a suffi
cient circulating medium in tho hands
of our pooplo to enable them to
conveniently oxchango tho produots of
their labor among thomBolves and with
tho pooplo of the, world. If wo tako into tho
Treasury larffe amounts of thoso circulating
media, in excess of what wo pay out, thero
villi soon not bo money enough in tho hauda
of tho pooplo for tho purposes of business:
serious dorangement and disaster must
follow, and a 'portion of labor must ccaso
until tho votv evils which this wrong condi
tion creates shall havo worked a tomporary
cure by so diminishing tho consumption of
food, clothing, fuol and luxuries, by
tho taxation of which the revenues of tho
Government aro raised, that taxos do not
exceed tho expenditures of Govommont.
Ibis ovll and this euro every one wishes to
avoid. There are various expedients by
whioh thbmay bo dono.
; 1st. Tho purchase of tho Interest-bearing
debt of tho Government.
2d. Laior expenditures by Government for
other purposes than the purchase of bonds,
Bci that thoy shall each year equal tho taxa
tion of that year.
3d. Hoduction of tho rovenne from taxation
to tho amount actually required to moot
necessary exponses.
All of these expedients havo in common
tho ono merit of preventing tho derangement
to business which must follow hoarding or
looking up in tho Treasury tho circulating
media of the peoplo.
Secretary I'airchild thon goes on to discuss
tho expedients to prevent thoderongemont of
business enumerated above.
Concerning the reduction of roronuo ho
says: " lteductlon of tho revenuo from taxa
tion is the only fit remedy for tho evils which
threaten the country. This may bo accom
plished in villous ways.
"Ono which has been proposed Is to compel
n doereaso of Importation, and consequently
a decroaso of rovonuo from customs, by
lorgoly increasing tho rates of duties. This
plan oould bo mado to reduco tho customs
rovonuo, but it would incrooso tho people's
taxation far more than it would decrease the
rovonuos, and should not be adopted.
' Still another is to havo loss customs taxo
tion by adding to tho froo list lis many articles
as possible." Ho urges tho reduction of tho
tariff on wool.
Speaking of tho coinago of 'silver dollars ho
says: Tho law should bo so amended as to
authorizothe Secretary of the Treasury to
issue certificates against the coinage value of
the bullion bought, and to coin only such
number of dollars as he might deom expe
dient horeafter."

BLAMING IT ON TIM CAMl'BELL.
Jloir Mr. Htephenson Thlnus the UnTWYard
Inquiry Aroao.
Tho Court of Inquiry which was organized
yesterday, met to-day at 11 o'clock at
tho Navy Yard, to lnvestlgoto tho
rocont solo of condomnod material.
Commander McCalla, President, Pay
masters Carmody and narrls, and Lieut.
IiUmly, who officiated as Judgo Associato,
hold a session with closed doors until nearly
noon. Summoning witnossos is tho next
step, Admiral Qhorardl and Copt. Cook head
ing tho list.
" I don't care to say anything about tho
case, as I may bo called as witness," said
Admiral Gherardl to a Would reporter, be
fore the court of inquiry met. " It Is a good
thing to havo tho old rubbish gono, and 1 was
thunderstruck about Stephenson, who has
always bonio a good record."
Tho "precept" authorizing tho court of
Inquiry to investigate tho. matter does not
ohargo John Stephenson with anything, but
merely " enjoins an investigation of the recent
sale of condomnod material," which occurred
at tho Navy .Yard about a month ago.
Mr. Stophenson was in his ofilco. Ho is
indignant at tho insinuation against himself,
but calm and ironical.
"I court tho fullest investigation," said
he. " I am moro interested than anybody
else in having all tho facts como out. I range
mysolf with the court against Stephenson,
and shall not bo without somo shot to firo
mysolf.
" Tho .Richmond's boilers woro not In
cluded In tho cataloguo of tho salo. Hut thoy
woro utterly worthless. I told Chief En.
ginecr Mclvillo about them when ho was hero
prior to tho solo, and ho Bald, ' Soil them.'
Ho addod : ' Do it according to law. Now,
whether I did it according to law Is tho
conundrum tho court has to guess.
" Every sale of this kind has to bo signed
by tho commandant or captain. I don't
handle tho money. Tho boilers had to bo
moved, and it would havo cost $1,000. I
waited sir or seven weeks for bids on them,
and it was tho fifth offer which I accented. I
thought I was saving tho Govornmont 81,400.
" You saw Secretary Whitney's second lot
ter. He recalls tho insinuation of his firbt
letter against me."
" Do you think you know tho porsons orig
inating tho chargo ?" askod tho rcportor.
" Yos. I think it was tho Honorable,'
iu quotation marks, Tim Campbell. It was
tho result of a personal feoling. I am a posi
tive, man and mako enemies. Tho Now York
and Brooklyn crowd woro against my secur
ing this position."
Several officers callod on Mr. Stophonson
and greeted him very warmly while the re
porter was present. Tho green parrot at tho
door oyes everybody with silent scorn.
MYSTERY OF A CHILD'S DEATH.
Iu Uepnted F tuber C'bnrgrd by It Mother
with Making- Away with It.
SPICliL TO TOT WORLD.
. Dovwi, N. J., Doc. 7. A child was fonnd
dead in a woll at Mount Hopo yesterday by
its mother under circumstances which cause
a suspicion of murder.
Tho child was tho year and a half old
daughter of Mrs. Cecilia Mack, a widow, and
tho evidence at tho inquest this morning
leads to tho belief that its death was caused
by John Corrigan, who is, said to bo tho
child's father.
Corrigan has boon a frequont visitor at the
widow's houso sinco her husband's death
about seven years ago. Ho wont thero on
Monday afternoon and stayed through the
evening. Mrs. Mack left the house at 10
o'clock to go to tho storo and was gone about
an hour.
Whon sho wont away Corrigan and hor eld
est boy, who is about fifteen years old, woro
lying on tho bed, and tho little girl was be
tween thorn. Whon b1iq returned tho man
and boy wore in tho samo position as when
sho loft, apparently asleop, but tho child was
gono.
Corrigan disclaimed all knowlodge' of tho
child, and Mrs. Maok flew into a rage and
charged him with putting it away. His denial
only Increased tho woman's anger and sho
threatened him with an axe. A search of tho
place was mado, but without avail. Tho naxt
morning tho mother found tho body floating
on tho waUr In tho well.
SAFE BREAKERS FRIGHTENED.
An Attempt to Itreak Into tbe Wrong Eor of
Typographical Union No. O.
An unsuccessful attempt was mado last
night to rlflo tho safe of Typographical
Union No. G, whose headquarters aro in
Frankfort stroot, near Gold.
The Bafo is an old-fashlonod, clumsy affair,
with combination lock, and it was against tho
latter that tho burglars diroctod their labors.
Two holes wero bared in tho door, both at
tho outer odgo of the- combination. Ono
went cloar through the double platings, but
tho Bocond passed ono-half way through.
Everything was apparently ready for tho
blast which was to complete the Job whon
tho thiovos were frightened away.
In ono of tho borings was found powder
enough to blow open a dozen safes, as Secre
tary Wildman said, while in tho second was
tho romnant of a bit, two inches long and
about a quarter of an Inch in diameter. ,
Assistant Secretary Thomas J. llobinRon
discovered the attempt early this morning,
Whon tho safe men arrived tho door was
opened without recourso to tho combination,
though tho burglars failed to mako use of thai
circumstance. Thoro was some money in tho
safoat tho time. Had tho burglars mado
their visit on Saturday they would havo found
moro than $l,00q In the safo. '

Tho lady's latest appointment is City Prin

Emzamstii, N. J., Doc. 7. Tho nmbnlonco
attached to tho Kliahitll Konerol hospital
was mobbed by an excited crowd of peoplo
at Ellrabothport last liiuht. Harry Kociinn,
tho driver, toRother with tho horses, barely
escaped with their IheH.
Tho trcmblo originated ocr the romovol of
an injured man to the hospital. Patrick
McVuich, of 1U01 Ilurks ktrtet, Philadelphia,
age tonty.Boen jours, a fireman on a
Iteadinu' road engine, wns lrnniuc out of tho
locomotive cab when another etiu'ino thot
woh running off tho turn'tablo at tho cool
shntes struck him, knocked him out of tho
cab and imrtlv under tlm wheels, lln was
dropped Homo distance beforo I he engine was
Btopped. Huwni mortally iniurid.
MoYoich'H body was qnirklv extricated,
and a mesKimo was Mnt to lllirnhcth, two
miles distant, for tho ambulance. Mi an while
a bijf crowd catlierod at the scene, and when
tlio vehicle Arrived men iu the crowd insisted
that tho injured man should bu taken direct
to Father Oessner's house.
This Mr. Keenan refused to do, aliening
that tho priest hod ample time to see tho man
beforo the umbulanco arrived, and that It
was his duty to bo on hand when called.
The oxeited mob caught hold of the bridle
of the horses, whilo some armed themsolves
with stones and threatened to knock tho
driver off tho box if he did not comply with
their demand.
Keenan whipped up his horses and tried to
drive through tho crowd. This mado tho
man furious, and the closed in around tho
nmbulonco, threw tho horses book on their
haunches and tried to drag Keenan from his
seat.
llloodshod was only nvcrted by tho timoly
arrival on the hceno of Dr. (j'lteilly, who
rushed nnionir tho enraged men nnd begged
them for G d's sako to desist.
His appeals wero evontually successful and
tho ambulancu was allowed to depart.
Tho hospital authoritios nro highly indig
naut over tho affair. Thoy ascribe it
to prejudice against tho institution
on tho part of peoplo who think
that Catholics will not get proper
attention thero. Thoy say that no Catholio
is over neglected or permitted to die without
tho services of a priost and that Father Van
Schilgcn is oIwovh mnnmonod iu serious
casus, such as railroad accidents, and that he
was at tho hospital beforo tho ainbulanco got
back from Klirabnthport.
Mrs. Thompson, tho matron, said to a
Wobld reporter that a very bitter oud im-
inst feeling had been stirred up against tho
tospital by ovil-disposcd persons.
