"Church Extension" and for a more lib
eral support cf this work than has been
accorded it by this district. H. W. Elli

an interest In national convention.
Senator Fred T. Dubois, of Idaho,
came Thursday evening and when ask
ed what he thought of the presidential
outlook said ho saw nothing but Par
ker. "Who will they nominate after they
have beaten Parker?" he asked.
"Would it be Cleveland?" he con
tinued. "Why, there is more than a
third of the convention that will stay
here until tho election before allowing
tho nomination of Cleveland. An at
tempt to nominate Cleveland will
throw the convention into the hands
of Bryan. The convention will nomi
nate Parker because they have no
other man to nominate."

LAST FISCAL YEAR.
Secretary Shaw- Gives Out State
ment in Kegard to the Re
ceipts and Disbursements.
A SURPLUS OF ONLY $13,247,674.
Expenditures on Account of the War
Department Were 3,211,897 Less
'than For Lust Year.
Pensions Show An Increase of $4,133,
000 and Interest, Payments a De
crease of Over $4,000,000, as
Compared With 1903.
Washington, July 1. Secretary
Shaw Thursday gave out a statement
showing the comparison between the
estimates which he submitted to con
gress in his last annual report and
the actual receipts and disbursements
during the fiscal year, from which It
appears that the actual surplus is on
ly about three-fourths of a million less
than the estimated surplus when ac
count is taken only of expenditures
which were considered In submitting
the estimate. In the estimate submit
ted to congress no account was taken
of possible expenditures in securing
the right of way for the isthmian ca
nal, nor of the loan of $4,000,000 to the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition Co. The
estimate was based also on tho then
existing laws. These were subse
quently modified by the ratification of
the reciprocity treaty with Cuba. The
secretary calls attention to the fact
that the surplus would have been sev
eral millions in excess of his estimate
but for tho reciprocity arrangement
with Cuba which reduced the reve
nues from $0,000,000 to $S.000,000.
The available cash June 30, 1904.
amounts to $16G,9C5,S72, as compared
with the fiscal year ended June 1, 1903.
These figures show Increases and de
creases in receipts as follows:
Customs, decrease, $21,823,235: in
ternal revenue, lnciease, $2,320,440;
miscellaneous, increase. $1,802,014.
The civil and miscellaneous expen
ditures for the year Just ended ex
ceeded those for the year 1903, includ
ing the payments on account of tho
Panama canal purchase and the St.
Louis exposition loan by $07,813,602.
The expenltures on account of the
war department were $3,211.S97 less
than for 1903, and the expenditures on
account of tho navy were $20,000,271
greater than for 1903.
Pensions show an increase of ?l.
133,000 and interest payments a de
crease of over $4,000,000 as compared
with 1903.
Commissioner Yerkes. of the inter
nal revenue bureau. Thursday mado
the following statement:
The total receipts of the Internal
revenue bureau for the fiscal year clos
ing Thursday evening will be about
$233,500,000. This shows an excess of
collections over the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1903, of some $3,000,000. Tho
rates of taxation on various articles
paying an internnl revenue tax being
the same this fiscal year as during tho
year which ended June 30, 1903, and
the amount of tax collected being 1n
excess by some .three and n half mil
lions of dollars, does not indicate that
the business movements of the coun
try and Its commercial transactions
are decreasing, or that we are suffer
ing from general business depression,
as claimed by some.
