A REDUCTION IN SURPLUS REVENUE.

Decrease of the l'ubllc Debt—Figures tl Circulation And Hontl Itedemptlnu—A Iteport on the Condition of

National Hinki.

UN'CLE SAM'S MILLION'S,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.—E. H. Nebeker, treasurer of the United States, reports that the ordinary revenues of the government for the last fiscal year were 9392,012,447, or 810,408,535 less th^p those of the year before. The net ordinary expenditures, exclusive of the amounts paid in premium on bonds purchased, were S355,.TC,084. an increase of S5",o:w,ios.

Surplus Revenues Reduced*

The surplus revenues were thus cut down from S105,844,490 to 837,239,762, which last summer was applied to the reduction of the public debt The postal revenues amounted to 905,762,908 and the expenditure* to 872,067,580, an increase of about 85,000,000 on both sides. On June 80, 1890, there stood charged to the treasurer on the books of the department a balance of $691,527,403, representing the excess of previous receipts over expenditures. To this was added the receipts of the year from all sources amounting to $756,821,305, which made an aggregate of $1,457,348,708 to be accounted for. The disbursements authorized by the warrants of the department, including those 011 account of the public debt, were 8731,120,376. There was left 872(i,S22.33'j, for which the treasurer was required to be able to produce cash or other assets.

Reducing the Debt.

The reduction effected during the year in the principelof the bondeddebt and the circulating notes which cannot be reissued amounted to S110.590,"'3 and required an expenditure

$126,991494, including the premium on bonds purchased. This sum was made up by taking SS'J, 751,781 from the reserve in the treasury in addition to the surplus revenues of the year. The consequent reduction in the annual interest charge was 84.322,092.

Tlii! Circulation.

The amount of money in the country June 30. exclusive of certificates in circulation for which the treasury held deposits, was SI,070,078,102, of which 8180,412,019 belonging to the treasury and 81,495,660,083 was in circulation. There was a net loss of 849,000,000 of gold, a net gain of upward of 840,000,000 of other money, and a consequent contraction of about S9,000,000 in the whole volume. There is an average increase of 852,200,000, from the end of June to the cud of December, in the amount of money actually in circulation, followed by an average decrease of 814,200,000 from the end of December to the end of June. The increase realized in the last year has been nearly double this average of S38,000,000, and in the last two years the average has been exceeded by 843,000,000.. Unusually large amounts of notes of small'd^nominations have been sent out to the west and south since July 1. The aggregate tip to the middle of November reached upward of 849,000,000, as against 861,000,000 for the whole preceding year. A measurable improvement in the condition of the coinage, particularly the silver, has been effected, nearly 81,000,000 of uncurrent coins in the treasury having been restored to full weight. As the result of this and of some special efforts in other directions the amount of fractional silver in the treasury has been much reduced.

Iluilill Reilennied,

There was a decrease of about 83.000,000 in the amount of bonds held for national bunks as security for their circulation, as also in the amount held as security for public deposits. Nearly $07,000,000 of national bank notes were redeemed. Fresh deposits for the withdrawal of notes from circulation amounted to nearly 810,000,000, while the redemptions from the fund arising from this source exceeded 825,000,000. The deposits of the new 2 per cents, exceeded the withdrawals of the old bonds and there was an issue of new notes amounting to about 87,500,000. Some little difficulty has becti experienced in the redemption of national bank notes through the 5 per cent, fund owing to the narrowness of the margin within which it is necessary to work Many banks have less than 81.000 on deposit and the majority of tliem all have no more tlian 82,250 each.

Condition or tlic Treanury. There has been a net increase of 812, 709,909 in the circulation since November 1. The items of increase were: Standard silver dollars, 8501,743 subsidary silver, 8740,801 gold certificates, 80,549,050 treasury notes, 84,500,802 United States notes, 8810,320 national bank notes, 81,760,000. The items of decrease were: (Jold coin, 8838,905 sil' ver certificates, S209,032 currency certificates, SI ,000,000

Since November I there has been net increase of 88,807,045 in money and bullion in the treasury, the increase being made up as follows: Hold coin, S3, 790,784 standard silver dollars, 8852,013 gold bullion, £4,731,068 silver bullion, 83,884,053. There was a decrease as follows Subsidiary silver. 8806,794 treasury notes, 875,420 United States notes, 8S10,320 national Jtank notes, 897,041 trade dollar bullion, 81,174,898. The circulation per capita December 1 is stated at 824.38.

The number of banks in operation October 31, 1891, was 3,094, having a capital stock of 8684,755,865 bonds deposited to secure circulation, 8152,113,850 bank notes outstanding, 8171,368,898, including 835,430,721, represented by money deposited for their redemption. The gross circulation, including notes of gold banks and those of failed and liquidating associations, has increased 87,751,085 during the year, while that secured by pledge of bonds has increased 811,765,101.

IucrMued Failures.

In number of failures the present exceeds any previous year. Six closed banks were restored by the voluntary contributions of shareholders. These banks possessed 82,225,000 in capital and had liabilities amounting to S3,750,-

The affairs of 102 insolvent have .been finally closed an average expense of 9.28 per centum, witH an average dividend to creditors of 74.17 per centum. Attention is called to the necessity of legislation more clearly defining the duties of directors also to the need of some further restriction upon the accommodations which may be lawfully afforded to officers and directors by way of loans and discounty.

ROBBED HIS PARTNER.

Edward M. Field Abstracted Notes and Securities. NKW YORKF Dec. 8. Dr. Eugene Fuller. Cyrus W. Field's physician, said Wednesday evening: "Mr. Field is resting quietly. He will, in my opinion, live at least a week. He may recover." (Jeorge De Forest Lord, after calling upon Mr. Field, said: "Mr. Field would rally were it not for this aggregation of troubles, which 1 fear have really only begun."

John F. Wiecliers, the partner of Edward M. Field, has not visited the office of the firm in the Washington building since the failure. He was seen in Jersey City Wednesday by a Wall street friend, to whom he said that his individual losses by the failure amount to 8250,000. He was absolutely and completely deceived by Field, who systematically lied to his partners, who trusted him implicitly and allowed him to run the finances of the firm without let or hindrance. Mr. Wieclier? had deposited .in the safe in the firm's office 850,000 in government bonds belonging to his wife. Mr. Wiecliers locked up these bonds in the safe before he sailed for Cuba two months ago. lie explained to field iwid to other partners before he left that he had placed the bonds there and that they belonged to his wife. When Mr. Wiechers came home from Cuba, just before the failure, he found that the bonds had been abstracted by Air. Field. IIis private desk had also been opened and 8150,000 in notes abstracted. He had indorsed these notes so that his wife might collect them during his absence as they matured. Mr. Field had takes the notes and negotiated them.

In the Kmbrace of Death.

The father and mother were found locked in each other's arms at the foot of the stairs leading out into the yard. Their bodies wore burned to a ciisp. Why they took the rear stairs may never be known, for if they had gone down by tlie front way they would- have undoubtedly been saved. As it was they rushed into a fiery furnace, for the conflagration did most damage where their bodies were found.

Three Escaped.

Two other children. Max, aged 15, and Tony, aged 12, and a hired girl, whose name could not be ascertained, escaped by jumping out of the windows into the arms of t?lie police and firemen.

LOUIS, Dec. 3.—The Adams Express Company, it is now stated, will lose about 875,000 by the robbery of the 'Frisco night express car near Ulendale Monday night by six masked men, and the bold "hold-up" is rapidly developing into a criminal sensation of the first order.

Superintendent Damsel refuses to deny or confirm the story that the total "loss readies $75,000, but admits that it exceeded the 'amount he first gave out as the company's loss.

THK MKSSAOK.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3. President Harrison's message isj nearly completed. Tlie president deals with the departments in the order of their rank and comments upon the work of eucli in his usual terse aiid direct style.

Kecljirooily.

The president points with pride to the work of the state department in concluding the reeiprocitv treaties under the McKinley bill, and also refers to several other conventions which have been concluded but which will require ratification by the senate.

The AtTi.lr with chili.

He reports that the Chilian episode is in a fair way of amicable adjustment and there is no reason to fear that the affair will not be settled on terms most honorable to the United States.

The New Urleans Itlot.

The Italian controversy over the New Orleans riot is a subject of reference and the president states that there is now a prospect that the diplomatic relations between the countries will speedily resumed 011 their old footing.

FhiHiices In a ood Condition. The treasury department, the president says, is in excellent condition and the financial affairs of the country have been carefully administered. The possibility of a financial stringency, which presented itself during tlie summer, was tided over by prompt and conservative action on the part of the secretary of the treasury and there is no further cause for anxiety.

Tensions.

The extraordinary expenditures in the'pension office have been dictated by a sense of the nation's gratitude, but the president intimates that it would be well to use the greatest care in providing for the pension expenditures in the future.

Strengthening t.lie Navy.

The president calls attention to the expeditions work the past year upon new cruisers and urges tin' necessity of'liberal appropriations to carry out the new plan suggested by tin' secretary of the navy in his annual report.

The War Departim-nt.

The work of tlu» war department receives proper attention am! tliu question of eouat defense is discussed. The president asks congress to make adequate provisions fur tlie mounting of efficient batteries to guard the groat seaports as auxiliary to the naval defenses afforded by th«* new cruisers and ironclads.

Tlitt I'orttttl S«»rviri».

The cost ollice department was never more efficient than it. is to-day. Thousands of miles have been added to the mail service. The question of cheap postage is OUJ which congress will do well to consider, as it involves the dissemination of knowledge all over lite land.

Th« I.l)piirl ninil.

The work of the department of justice has been conscientiously eiu-ricd on, the president asserts, and lie is confident that the appointment of the new judges provided for by the last congress will have the effect of lightening the dockets of the 1'uited States courts and expediting justice.

Farmer* CougrutulatiMt.

The department of agriculture, so recently created, has amply justified tlie importance to tvhich it lias been elevated. and the president congratulates the farmers on the large crops and the ease and comfort which naturally follow a season of plenty.

Prosperity tinl«r rrotrclloii. In conclusion the message felicitates the country upon the prosperity which he says has attended it under the protection policy tempered with reciprocity, which has opened an extensive foreign market to American produce while protecting the American manufacturer in his home market.

ARE SAFE NOW.

American S»Uorn"Will He Allowed to Come Afttiorc H( VntpttrHlwo. VALI'AHAIHO, Dec. 8. Commander Evans, of the United States cruiser Vorktown, visited the intendonte in reference to the advisability of permitting the sailors of that vessel to come ashore. The .iutendente assured Commander Evans that lie would insure the safety of the American seamen, but advised that they be not allowed to land in large numbers at a time. At the examination of the Baltimore men Tuesday niglit Dr. Still, the American ship's engineer, said that it was his positive opinion that Boatswain's Mate lliggin was shot with a rifle bullet. The Chilian surgeons have given an opposite opinion. The Chilian police arc armed with rifles. Since tlie arrival of the Vorktown the subject of war with the United States is again generally discussed. r.rclrar. steMllnss.
