Report to the President. P gt>; _ Wett ud North. Washington, Nov. 4.—The treasurer «©f the United States, Hon. Ellis E. Huberts, has submitted to the secretary of the treasury the annual report on the transactions and condition of the treasury for the past fiscal pear. The net ordinary revenues of the government were 0405,331,335, an increase of $57,597,630 over those of the previous year, while tne net ordinary expenses were $443,368,582, an increase of $77,594,433. The resulting deficiency of $38,047,247 exceeds that of the preceding year by $19,994,793. In the receipts are included $64,591,

223 paid into the treasury on account of the sale of the Union Pacific and Kansas Pacific- railroads. Of them .were paid $28,850,852 of the bonds isfor the construction of the PacificNrailroads, which went to Increase the expenditures. Up to the close of the fiscal year the increase of the expenditures on account of the war with Spain was $43,041,732 for the war department, and $24,262,438 for the navy department. For the four months of July, August, September and October, 1888. the expenditures of the war department were $107,520^368, being $81,613,131 greater than for the same months in 1897. For the same months this year the nary department expended $27,458,577, which was $16,014,026 more 'than it spent in the like period in *1887. Up to October 31 the war with Sjialn added to the disbursements of these two departments iue sum of $164,932,298. | U rowing Strength of the Treasury. Independently of the prospect ot revenue pr expenditure, the treasurer regards the treasury as having been stronger at the close than at the opening of the fiscal year, the significant shrinkage in the amount of the asseta having been more than compensated for in the improvement which took place in this character. Against a net loss of $7,500,000 in the total holdings available for the fiscal operations of the government, there was a gain of upward of $26,000,000 in free gold, coupled with an increase of nearly $23,000,000 in absolutely secured deposits with banks, and these changes were effected at no greater eost than the loss of so much on silver and treasury notes. The total available assets were $874,764,377 on June 30, 1897, apd $<139,006,733 a year later. By the addition of the unavailable assets carried by the department, these totals arc swelled to $904,411,576 and $869,202,941, respectively. On June 30, 1898, the treasurer’s liability to the general fund was $775,751,368, with one of ' $66,465,160 sustained in his capacity i as the depository of public officers, I And one of $26,986,413 for moneys paid | into his hands* but not yet covered by j •warrant into the general aoeount. j Tk* ImhIj D*«»n<l for Mra*ll Jiotr*. In every year, during the period of -the movement of the crops, there is a demand in the producing parts of the country for small notes. By forethought and care during the past fiscal year and the autumn following It, an j adequate stock of notes of^ disTerent denominations was provided, aud the exchange of small notes for large was readily made. The outstanding notes of the denominations of $20 and under, which decreased in volume by $11,522,157 from September 30, 1896, to the same date In 1897, increased by $41,657,037 j in the 12 months ending September j 80, 1898. The gold In circulation rose Steadily by $49,327,268 in the former of the two periods, and by $94,551,059 in the lat* 4er.‘ The total currency of all kinds in -circulation shows an increase of $96,639,249 in the former year and one ol $137,755,854 in the latter, a gain oi $234,294,103 for the two years.

Inquiries Aiwnored. In answer to inquiries from the west «nd northwest the treasurer has prepared a table which shows the amount -of the capital, surplus, undivided prof* . Its and deposits of the national banks in the territory north of the Ohio and *\eat of the Mississippi in July in each of the last three years. The aggre^rates for the three periods are successively $923,979,746, $918,252,470 and 9087,940,160. While these figures do not show the resources of this sort in their completeness, they furnish irresistible evidence of the strength which this immense region has gathered in the instrument# of comwaerce.

Washington, Nov. 7.—Following ia an extract from a letter received by Senor Quesada from Gen. Gomes, writ* ten October 20: “I have full confidence in the solemn promises made by the congress of Washington, and for that reason I do not have any fear as to the independence of Cuba. Some time must elapse before our ideal will be realized, but after so many struggles and privations we can wait a little longer the realization of our hopes. Military Occupation. “The military occupation by the United States is to a certain extent necessary to prepare and hurry the ; evacuation of the Spanish and to bring about harmony among the different factions in Cuban politics. “During this military Occupation the republican government will be organized. Its decisions will be finally accepted by all; order will reign everywhere. Try to Satisfy Tholr SpiUs “Those who speak now of annexation try to satisfy, above all, their spite, propagating unfounded fears as to personal security and private property. “The success of our struggle has required uecessary destruction of property which the enemy used to its advantage, but we have never attacked individuals. “The struggle against Spain is now ended; we commence now a more delicate and difficult task—namely, to make our republican political system triumph and to reconstruct the country. Not u Ra*y Labor. “It is not an easy labor, and all men who love their country should con

tribute to it; for that reason 1 can not retire now, notwithstanding my 61 years. “Most of the officers and soldiers went into the field obeying my orders; 1 can not abandon them until their future is assured. They have tost everything they had.. They have a right to some compensation, and above all to their salaries; the new government must secure them. The lMabmidiurui Must Await Evacuation. “The disbandment cannot occur until the Spaniards have evacuated. My men can not be abandoned, without bread or work to the mcrfcy of their enemies. A solution could be found, perhaps, in the plan which the American government is said to have of creating a native civil guard, formed in the majority of Cuban soldiers. This organization would offer the advantage of not exposing the American Uoopa to the deadly climate of the island, and at the same time the United States would have people who know the^couutry thoroughly. In the meanwhile, aud until the evacuation occurs, food must be provided for my soldiers. All Will be Arranged After the Spaniards Are Gone. “The evacuation should be as rapid as possible, and afterward everything will be arranged, for the American government will fulfill its moral pledges to us. Some people have tried to make us suspicious, so as to bring about trouble, but before doubting ! the good faith of the American people ! we must wait for acts which will give the lie to their solemn pledge.” AN UNEQUALED SUCCESS. Tangible Evidence of the Financial Success of the TraoaualMlMlppl Exposition at Omaha. Omaha, Neb., Nov. 6.—The Transmississippi and International Exposi- j tion association is paying back 75 cents on every dollar of stock that was j subscribed for its construction. After this is accomplished enough money j will remain in the treasury to pay the retnainin 25 per cent., and fulfill all obligations. The rebate was ordered by the board of directors of the exposition Friday afternoon, and a voucher for an amount sufficient to cover the distribution was drawn t on Herman Kouutze, treasurer, in favor of Frank Murphy as trustee for the stockholders. The stockholders are jubilant, and the exposition management is receiving congratulations on a financial success that has been equalled by no previous exposition.

THE NEW JERUSALEM. Rev. Or. T aim age Presents Some Novel Ideas of Heaven. Tli* Boat «f th« Blttt Urowlog Or—far and Grander nil the Time-lU Jtopalatloa Krer bWMilni Mad Ptegrewlnci In the following sermon Bev. T. DeWitt Talmage sets forth some n^vel idoes of the world to come. Hie text is: “And 1 saw a new Heaven.”—Revelations, xxi., 1. I The sterotyped Heaven does not make adequate impression upon us. We ' need the old story told in new style in order to arouse our appreciation. I do not suppose that we are compelled to the old phraseology. King James’ translators did not exhaust all the ! good and graphic words in the English dictionary. I suppose if we should take the idea of Heaven, and translate It into modern phrase, we would find that its atmosphere is a combination of early June and of the Indian summer in October, a place combining the advantages of city and country, the streets standing for the one, and the twelve manner of fruits for the other; a place of musical entertainments—

j harpers, pipers, trumpeters, doxoio- ! gies; a place of wonderful architecture i —behold the temples! a place where there may be the highest forms of animal life—the beasts which were on | earth beaten, lash-whipped, and galled ■ and unblanketed, and worked to death, turned out among the white horses which the Book of Revelation describes as being in Heaven; a place of stupendous literature—thebooksopen; ■ a place of aristocratic and democratic I attractiveness—the kings standing for > the one, all nations for the other; all botanical, pomological, ornithological, arborescent, worshipful beauty and grandeur. But my idea now is to speak chiefly of the improved Heaven. People sometimes talk of Heaven as though it were an old city, finished centuries ago, when I have to tell you that no city on earth, during the last 50 years, has had such changes as Heaven. It is not the same place as when Job, and David, and Paul wrote of it. For hundreds and hundreds of years it has been going through peaceful revolution, and year by year, and month by month, and hour by hour, and moment by moment, it is changing, and changing for something better. Away back there was only one residence in the universe—the residence of the Almighty. Heaven had not yet been started. Immensity was the park all around about this great residence; but God’s sympathetic heart after awhile overflowed in other creations, and there came, all through this vast country of immensity, inhabited villages, which grew and enlarged until they joined each other, and became one great central metropolis of the universe, streeted, gated, templed, watered. inhabited. One angel went forth with a reed, we are told, and he measured Heaven on the one side, and then he went forth and measured Heaven on the other side; and then St. John tried to take the census of that city, and he became so bewildered that he gave it up. That brings me to the first thought of my them©—that Heaven is vastly improved in numbers. Noting little under this head about the multitude of adults who have gone into glory during the last 100, or 500, or 1,000 years, I remember there are 1,600,000,000 of people in the world, and that the vast majority of people die in infancy. How many children must have gone into Heaven during the last 500 or 1,000 years! If New York should gather in one generation 1,000,000 population, if London should gather in one generation 4,000,000 population, what a vast increase! But what a mere nothing as compared with the 500,000,000, the 2,000,000,000, the “multitude that no man can number/* that have gone into that city! Of course, all this takes for granted that every child that dies goes as straight into Heaven as ever the light sped from a star; and that is one reason why Heaven will always be fresh and beautiful—the great multitude of children in it. Put 500,000,000 children in a

country, it will be a Messed and lively country. But add to this, if you will, the great multitude of adulta who have gone into glory, and how the census of Heaven must run up! Many years ago a clergyman stood in a New England pulpit, and said that he believed that the vast majority of the race would finally be destroyed, and that not more than one out of 2,000 persons would be finaly saved. There happened to be about 2,000 people in the village where he preached. Next Sabbath two persons were heard discussing the subject, and wondering which one of the 2,000 people in the village would finally reach Heaven, and one thought it would be the minister, and the other thought it would be the old deacon. Now, I have not much admiration for a lifeboat which will go out to a ship sinking with 2,000 p ssengers, and get one off in safety and let 1,999 go to the bottom. Why Heaven must have been a village when Abel, the first soul from earth, entered it, as compared with the present population of that great city. Again: I remark that Heaven has vastly improved in knowledge. Give a man 40 or SO years to study one science, or ail the sciences, with all the advantages of laboratories and observatories and philosophic apparatus, he will be a marvel of information, j Now, into what intelligence must i Heaven mount, angelhood and saintj hood, not after studying for 40 or 80 years, but for thousands of years— studying God and the soul and immoric intaltty and the universe! How I teiligwwe at that world must

. — —== on and on. with eyesight farther reaching than telescope, with power of calculation mightier than all human mathematics, with pom ere of analysis surpassing all Chemica l laboratory, with speed swifter than telegraphy l What must Heaven learn, with all these advantages, in a millenium? The difference between the highest university on earth and the smallest class in a primary school can not be a greater difference than Heaven as it is now and Heaven as it once was. Do you not suppose that when Dr. James Simpson went up from the hospitals of Edinburgh into Heaven he knew more than ever the science of health; and that Joseph Henry, graduating from the Smithsonian institution into Heaven, awoke into higher realms of philosophy; and that Sir William Hamilton, lifted to loftier sphere, understood letter the construction of tne human intellec; and that John Milton took up higher poetry iu the actual presence of things that on earth he had tiled to describe?

Again: Heaven is vastly imp roved in its society. During your memory how many exquisite spirits have gone , into it! If you should try to nuke a lift of all the genial, loving gracious, blessed souls that you have known, it would be a very long list- souls that have gone into glory. Now, do you not suppose they have enriched the society? Have they not improved Heaven? You tell of what Heave; i did for them. They have done nothing for Heaven? Take all the grac ious s ouls that have gone out of youx acquaint* anceship, and add to them all the gracious and beautiful'souls tl at for 500 or 1;000 years have gone out of all the cities and all the villages, and all the countries of this earth ic to glory, and how the society of Heaven must have been improved! Suppose Paul, the apostle, were introduced into your social circle on earth; but Heaven has added all the apostles. Sup :K>se Hannah More and Charlotte Elizabeth were introduced into your social circle on earth; but Heaven has added all the blessed and the gracious and the holy women of the past ages. Suppose that Robert M’Chsyne and John Summerfield should be added to your earthly circle! but Heaven lliias gathered up all the faithful and earnest ministry of the past. There is not a town, or a city, or a village that has so improved in society in the last hundred years as Heaven has impiroved. But you say: “Hasn’t Heaven always been perfect?” Oh, yest but not in the sense that it cpn not be augmented. It has been rolling on in grandeur. Christ has been there, and He never changes—the same yesterday, to-day and forever. But I speak now, of attractions outside of this, and I have to tell you that no place on earth has improved in sot iety as Heaven has within the last 1) years; for most of you within 4€ years, within 20 years, within five years, within one year; in other words, by the accessions from your own household. If Heaven were pluccd in groups—an apostolic group, n patriarchal group, a prophetic group,group of martyrs, group of angels, and then a group of your own glorified kindred —which group would you choose? You might look around and make comparison, but it would not take you long to choose. You would say: “Give me back those whom 1 loved or earth; let me enter into their society—my parents, my children, my brothers, my sisters. We lived together on earth, let us live together in Heaven,” Oh, is it not a blessed thought that Heaven has been improved by its society—this colonization from earth to Heaven?

Again: I remark that Heaven has greatly improved in the good cheer of announced victories. Where Heaven rejoiced over one soul, it now rejoices over a hundred or a thousand. In the olden times, when the events of human life were scattered over four or five centuries of longevity, and the world moved slowly, there were not so many stirring events to be reported in Heaven; but now, I suppose, all the great events of earth are reported in Heaven. If there is any truth plainly taught in this liible it is that Heaven is wrapped up in sympathy with human history, and we look at those inventions of the day—at telegraphy, at swift communication by steam, at all these modern improvements which seem to give one almost omnipresence —and we see only the secular relation; but spirits before the throne look out and see the vast and the eternal relation. While nations rise and fall, while the earth is shaking with revolution, do you not suppose there is arousing intelligence going up to the throne of God, and that the question is often asked before the throne: “What is the news from that world— that world that rebelled, but is coming back to its allegiance 7” If ministering spirits, according to the Bible, are sent forth to minister to those that shall be heirs of Heaven, when they come down te us to bless us, do they not take the news beck? Do the ships of light that come out of the celestial harbor Into the earthly harbor, laden with cargoes of blessing, go back unfreighted? Ministering spirits not only, but our loved ones leaving us, take Up the tidings. Suppose you were in a far city, and had been there n good while, and yon heard that some one had arrived from your native place —some one who had recently seenyoor family and friends—you would rttBh up to that man, and you would aak all about the old folks at home. And do you not suppose when your child went up to God. your glorified kindred in : Heaven gathered around and asked about you, to ascertain as to whether you were getting along well in the struggle of life; to find out whether you were in any especial peril, that with swift and mighty wing they might come down to intercept your perils? Oh, yes! Heaven te a greater

sounded through the streets, sews ringing from the towers, news heralded from the palace gate. Glad news! Victorious news! I Now, I say these things about the | changes in Heaven, about the new improvements in Heaven, for three stout reasons. First, because I find that some of you are impatient to be gone. You are tired of this world, and you want to get into that good land about which you have been thinking, praying and talking so many years. Now be patient. I could see why youwoold want to go to an art gallery if some of the best pictures were to be taken away this week or next week, but if some one tells you that there are other beautiful pictures to come—other Kensetts, Raphaels and Rubens; other i masterpieces to be added to the gal- ! lery—you would say; “I can afford to wait. The place is improving all the time.” Now, I want you to apply the same principle in this matter of reaching Heaven and leaving this world. Not one glory is to be subtracted, but many glories added. Not one angel will be gone, not one hierarch gone, not one of your glorified friends gone. I By the long practicing the musio will be better, the procession will be longer, the rainbow brighter, the cof* onation grander. Heaven, with magnificent addenda! Why will you complain when you are only waiting for something better? 1 Another reason why I speak in regard to the changes in Heaven, and the new improvements in Heaven, is because I think it will be a consolation to busy and enterprising good people. I see very well that you have not much taste for a Heaven that was all done and finished centuries ago. After you have been active 40 or 50 or 60 years, it would be a shock to stop you suddenly and forever; but there is a progressive Heaven, an ever-accumu-lative Heaven, vast enterprises on foot there before the throne of God. AgI gressive knowledge, aggressive goodness, aggressive power, aggressive grandeur. You will not have to come and sit down on the banks of the river of life in everlasting inoccupation. O busy men, I tell you of a Heaven where there is something to do! That is the meaning qf the passage: ‘‘They rest not day nor night,”

m tne lazy sense of resting. I do not think it was superstitions when, one Wednesday night* I stood by a deathbed within a few blocks of the church where I preached, and on the same street, and saw one of the aged Christians of the church going into glory. After I had prayed with her I said to her: “We have all loved you very much, and will always cherish your memory in the Christian church. You will see say son before I see him, and I wish you would give him our love.” She said: “I will, I will;” and in 20 minutes she was in Heaven—the last words she ever spoke. It was a swift message to the skies. If you had your choice between riding in a Heavenly ehariot and occupying the grandest palace in Heaven, and sitting on the throne next highest to the throne of God, and not seeing your departed loved ones; and on the other hand, dwelling in the humblest place in Heaven, without crown or throne, and without garland, and without scepter, yet having your loved ones saround you, you would choose the latter. I say these things because I want to know it is a domestic Heaven, and consequently it is all the time improving. Everyone that goes up makes it a brighter place, and the attractions are increasing month by month and day by day; and Heaven, so vastly more of a Heaven, a thousand times more of a Heaven, than it used to be, will be a better Heaven yet. Oh, I say this to intensify your anticipation! I enter Heaven one day. It is almost .empty. I enter the temples of worship, and there are no worshipers. I walk down the street and there are no passengers. I go into the orchestra, and I find the instruments are suspended in the baronial halls of Heaven, and the great organs of eternity, with multitudinous banks of keys, are closed. But I see a shining one at the gate, as though he were standing on guard, and I say: “Sentinel, what does this mean? I thought Heaven was a populous city. Has there been some great plague sweeping off the population?” “Have you not heard the news?” says the sentinel. “There is a world burning, there is a great conflagration out yonder, and all Heaven has gone out to look at the conflagration and take the victims out of the ruins. This is the day for which all other days are made. This is the Judgment! This morning all

the chariots, and the cavalry, and the mounted infantry rumbled and galloped down the sky.** And after 1 had listened to the sentinel, I looked off over the battlements, and I saw that the fields of air were bright with a biasing world. I said: “Yes, yea, this must be the Judgment;” and while 1 stood there 1 heard the rumbling of wheels and the clattering of hoofs, and the roaring of many voices, and then 1 saw the coronets and plumes and banners, and I saw all Heaven was coming back again —coming to the wall, coming to the gate, and Urn multitude that went off in the morning was augmented by a vast multitude caught up alive from the earth, and a vast multitude of the resurrected bodies of the Christian dead, leaving the cemeteries and the abbeys and the mausoleums and the graveyards of the earth empty. Procession moving in through the gates. And then I found out that what was fiery Judgment day on earth was Jubilee in Heaven, and, I cried: “Doorkeepers of Heaven, shut the gates; all Heaven has come Ip! Doorkeepers, shut the gates, lest the sorrows and the woes of earth, like bandits, should some day come op and try to Blunder the eUrt”
