The followfcig from the United
States Investor, gives some en-
couraging figures :
The Treasury figures thus far
during June justify the belief that
the deficit will be almost wiped
out iu the monthly accounts.
This does uot mean exactly that
the government will be again on
a eelf-supporting basis, for June
does not call for the large interest
payments which occur quarterly
in January, April, July and Octo-
ber. From present indications
the Treasury will soon be able to
pay all current obligations, in-
cluding pensions, from ordinary
receipts, but the interest account
will still call for some $25,000,-
000., of which lit least a part will
have to be provided from new
sources of taxation. The receipts
from customs have not tliuB far
justified the expectations based
upon the revival of business, but
this is probably due to the fact
that foreign orders cannot be fill-
ed so promptly as domestic orders

rule," he forgot about Cauada.

the Choctaw railroad, holding
that the appeal was not brought
within the time prescribed by the
statutes wherein an appeal may
be made.
This settles the celebrated
Choctaw railroad fight; the road
will be put through the Kickapoo
country and Shawnee will be one
of the best towns on the line.
One of the relators in the case, of
Tecumseh, expressed himself as
beinir satisfied that the court of

this gold is found iu range IT, last resort had been reached; that

and otherwise, are
be relied upon. There
millions of dollars wasted in Col-

assays, and millions made by
others, who happened to be a lit-
tle more fortunate. There is, we
have no doubt gold in the Arapa-
