United States Ambassador Eustis a copy of the minutes of the court-martial which tried anl Heavy Demand at Close of Fiscal Year Provided For Syndicate Contract Protects Gold Reserve Till October Political Skies in the "West Grew Bright for the Democrats Valuable Charts of Lakes Huron and Superior for Mariners COLD CONTRACT DISCUSSED WORK OF THE SYNDICATE Washington June "There will toe a heavy draft upon the treasury next month" said a prominent member of the administration today in discussing the finances of the government in connection with the final pay7 ment on the last issue of bonds by the Morgan-Belmont syndicate "You see" said he "the new fiscal year begins and the secretary of the treasury will be called upon to supply every branch of the government with funds in accordance with the provisions of the annual appropriation bill The pension claims the bounty on sugar and the interest on the various government securities must also be considered hence it will be seen that during July there will be a heavy run upon the funds now so carefully guarded in the treasury" "What effect will these heavy expenditures have upon the gold reserve if any?" "None whatever" replied the officer "unless the demand should come from abroad In that case the Morgan-Belmont syndicate is under contract with the government to protect the gold reserve from foreign encroachment until next October "There appears to be a general misunderstanding as to the status of the Morgan-Belmont bond syndicate since its final payment was made yesterday Judging from the various telegraphic inquiries that have been received at the treasury department today although the Morgan-Belmont nsyndicate has paid $65116275 for $62315400 in 4 per cent bonds the syndicate is still under obligation to stand between the government and those who would attack the gold reserve until October next "Probably no one but the members of the syndicate will know what it has cost to protect the gold reserve since the syndicate entered into its contract with the government Thus far its work has been successfully done and there has been no attempt to raid the gold vaults of the treasury since the contract was made Many persons in congress and on the outside were vigorous in their denunciation of the contract when it was originally made because the bonds were disposed of at such a low figure The sjndicate may have made a large profit out of the transactions or it may not The fact is that the treasury has been relieved from the heavy and demoralizing drain upon its gold reserve and in the meantime there has been a gradual increase in the general business of the country which has resulted in a slow but steady improvement in the condition of the treasury "Some of us who thought the contract with the Morgan-Belmont syndicate almost a crime must now admit that the syndicate has thus far kept its obligation to the letter and by so doing has produced a quieting effect upon the financial situation throughout the country What the effect will be after the contract with the syndicate expires in October next is a matter of conjecture The very men who are now under contract to protect the gold reserve may be the very first to attack it as soon as their obligation ceases How they have managed to keep the foreign fingers off of our gold is a business secret which they have not divulged to the treasury department There undoubtedly has been frequent demands for gold from abroad during the last few months but the treasury has not heard of it officially for the syndidate in accordance with the terms of its contract has managed to ascertain where the demand came from and supply it without the treasury knowing anything about it" "How are the "finances of the government now as compared with a similar period in the last fiscal year?" "They are in much better shape now At the beginning of the present fiscal year which terminates practically next Saturday night there was a deficit of over $70000000 At the beginning of the next fiscal year which commences next Monday the deficit will not be over $45000000 "What was Secretary Carlisle's estimated deficit?" "He said it would be about $20000000 When he prepared his estimates he was counting upon receiving from $18000000 to $35000000 from the income tax That he is now deprived of Besides there has been a falling off in the receidts from sugar because of the reduction in the price of that article The difierence In the receipts between an ad valorem duty and a specific duty has deprived the government of from $5000000 to $7000000 during the present year" BRICHT FOR THE DEMOCRATS REPUBLICANS LESS CONFIDENT Washington June Apparently Congressman Cannon is not the only man who sees a great white light in the west where the free silver cloud used to be There are other men nonpartisans many of who see that it is not free silver but sound money which is sweeping the country With this admission comes the declaration that the chances of the republicans in the coming campaign are waning There is a moderation in the tone of republican utterances here which speaks volumes Those prophets who have been predicting a mountainous republican majority for any sort of man the party chose to nominate are taking a reef in the sails of their confidence One of the best informed politicians in Washington said today: "With better times throughout the country the free-silver nonsense has died out as every one predicted it would and things look exceedingly bright for democracy Next year's contest no longer wears the aspect of a one-sided affair The strongest republican as well as the strongest democrat will have to work hard and whichever side wins will have no walkover Taking the two parties it seems to me the democrats have the best presidential material The republicans are at war among themselves and many of their supposed candidates will be opposed by republicans" CENSUS OF THE CHURCHES RELIGIOUS SHOWING IN STATISTICS Washington June The census report covering the statistics of churches which has just come from the press contains some interesting facts in an elaborate work of more than 800 pases with colored maps showing the extent of the various organized religious bodies in the various states There ftre 143 distinct denominations in the United States besides independent churches and miscellaneous congregations The total of communicants of all denominations is 20612800 who belong to 165177 organizations or congregations These congregations have 142521 edifices which

1'roBbyterlan 1280332 Lutheran 1230000 A study of the details of the statistics develops more apparently strange results Out Of a total of 130000 Jewish communicants the reform exceed the orthodox by 15000 There are 13500 Russian orthodox 100 Greek CHARTS OF HURON AND SUPERIOR AID TO LAKE MARINERS Washington June 27 The navy department has issued handsome charts of Lakes Superior and Huron which unlike any of the maps hitherto published of those regions are designed wholly for the use of mariners As rapidly as possible similar charts will be prepared for all the great lakes as well as for Interior navigable waters generally Heretofore all government maps have been made with special view to landsmen and were not adapted to the purposes of navigation as they allowed no compensation for
