The first six months of tbe current fiscal year (lour months of which have come under the operation of the new Tariff law) gives some indications of what may reasonably be expected in thfe months to come after the new Tariff law has be come effective in all its multitudinous details. Tbe receipts for the six months have aggregated $159,500,000 and the ex penditures in the same time have been $188.000 000. an excess of expenditures over receipts of $i9600.000. For the corresponding period of last fiscal year the excess of expenditures over receipts was $48 000.010. Less tban $.'500 000 have been received from the newly imposed duty on sugar, which first aooeaTS in any appreciaoie amount. in this months receipts, nom ing. of course, has been received trom the income tax. which dies not go intotff.ct until January 1st. 1895.

On the contrary, the Japanese bave persisted . in maintaining a policy if reticence.

A TERRIBLE FIHE. , , bring the receipts for the balar.ee ol tbe fiscal year up to Secretary Carlisle's esti mates as submitted to Congress. De cember receipts show an increase ovr November of $2 500.0000 and N vemoer showed a slight increase over Octcker, indicating that business is adiusung it sejf to settled, tariff rates.

Against this gratifying exbibit is to be set off the fact that the old reserve con tinues to decline. At tbe close of busi ness in tbe Treasury to day it stood at $86 819 623 implying a loss of $500 000 lor the day. and a total loss since tbe gold reserve was recouped bv the last is sue of bonds ol nearly $28000,000. About ninety employes of tbe Census office were to-day given notice of thtir o ism issal to take eff-ct the 81st instant. Tbis action was necessary on account of tbe completion of the work in the bu reaus where they were employed. Tbe Commissioner of Pensions to-day issued an order that will prevent clerks in the Bureau, who are physicians, trom practicing medicine alter office hours In this branch of the Government ser vice, it well as in others, there are a number of graduated physicians wbo attended oatients after office hours and are known as ' Sundown Doctors." The order states that if any clerk or rmniove of the Pension Bureau shall at tend patients as a physician or medical dv.ser. it will oe'jegarded as sufficient ground for saying that his further ser vice will be no longer required. Tbe danger of bringing contagious diseases to the other clerks and employes and allowing such diseases to spread in the community is obv o as and has been manifested in recent cases. Moreover, a calling which is likely to r q nre clerks and employe to be up at nignt, and to demand their prompt attention at ail times is regarded as inconsistent with tbe proper discbarge of their duties in the bureau. Tbe issuing of the order was caused by a negro doctor named Johnson employed In the Bureau attending a smallpox case while be was suspended. While no official notification has vet been issued it is almost ceitain that a similar order will oe made including the entire Interior Department, not only physicuns. POPULIST CONVENTION.

Japan, therefore will not stipulate for any terri torial or commercial requisitions in which the other powers ate directly in terested. Formosa will be taken by apan as part of a pledge tor war indemnity and certain Chinese ports that are not treaty ports win te held as a pledge for tbe remainder of the indemnity, together with such a lien upon tbe Chinese cus toms as will not prejudice tbe custom revenues already mortgaged. In regard to Corea. it is probable tbat a Chinese Japanese dual control over that country will be proposed. These term, which are divulged bv the Japanese Embassy are a great deal more moderate than tbose described in tbe sensational cable crams received here from Tokio and elsewhere and have the stamp of belie in diplomatic circles. As the great body of tbe members of the Liberal party are resolved that there shall be some practical; intervention in Armenia and have relied upon the Gov ernment to cairy out their plans there, there is great surprise among them at finding tbat the Foreign Committee of Enquiry, which is going to Armenia, is composed ot dragomans. Russia's del egate, M. Maior, has been a dragoman attached to tbe Russian embassy at Con stant inrpe, M. Vilvert. the French delegate, is an interpreter in tbe employ of the French Consolate at tbe Turkish capital and Eng land's delegate. Mr. Sbapley. is a Vce Consul to Turkey. The personnel of tbe commission as thus descrioed. givts no security, says the Speaker, that there will be satisfactory u quiry, especially since tbe European delegate has refused permission to make an independent in vestigation. There is utile hope now. continues the Speaker, of getting at tbe truth even if tne dragomans should be allowed, as they will not be, to take an active part in the invt s .igation. Eng land ought to come to some agreement with Russia without delay to the end of taking action together or with ut the c )-operation of the Powers ar.d they sbould act at once. A word from Eng land w uld lead to a revolution in Crete and Macedonia, and even in Constanti nople. London. Dec. 29 The Sfieaker gives expression to tbe popular feelu g on the subj ct which has been greatly intensi fied bv tbe ringing speech delivered to the Armenian dep nation by Mr. Glad stone at Hawarden to-day. Mr. Gadstone, in bis reply to tbe deputation's address, said it was not their duty to assume tbat all the allegations of outrages were true, but rather to await the result of the inquiry wb cb bad been instituted: However, be said, tbe pub lished accounts pointed strongly to the conclusion that tbe outrages, sjns and abominations committed in 1876 in Bul garia bad r eec repeated in 1894 in Ar menia. If this were true, it was time there should be a general shout of exe cration against these deeds of wicked ness from ontraged humanity. II tbe facts were established it sbould be writ ten in letters ot iron upon the record ol the world that a government which could be guilty of countenancing and covering up such atrocities was a dis grace to Mahomet, tbe rropbet, and a disgrace to civilization at large and a di?grace to manmna. Mr. Gladstone, continuing, saif: Don't let me be told tbat one nation bas no authority over another, tverv nation, aye, every human being, has authority in bebalf of humanity and justice." He bad been silent, be said rtecause he bad lull corn ence tbat the Government knew its duty. If the allegations made sbould prove to be true it was time tbat me execration oi humanity sh uld force itself upon tbe ears of tbe Sultan ol Turkey and make bim sensible of the madness of such a course as was being pursued. Mr. Gladstone spoke f r a quarter of an hour. He was remarkably deliberate in its delivery and vigorous in action and gesture, and was loudly cbeered as he concluded his remarks Lord Rosebery bas summoned a meeting ot the Cabinet Council on Jan uarv 14th and bas accompanied bis sum mons w th a request tbat tbe Ministers make arrangements to remain in Lon don therealter. The conservative whips bave already intimated to tbe Toty members of the House of Commons who are now abroad tbat tbey sbould not fail to be present at tbe opening of tbe next session of Parliament. Tbe leaders on both sides recognize the lact that the stress ot the session will at ihat time be the greatest. If the Gov ernment survive tbe debate on the ad dress in reply to tbe speech from tbe Throne, tbey may tide over tbe session, but otherwise they will be in constant danger of falling. Tbe danger of the Redmonite taction of tbe Irish part) throwing their votes to tbe Conserva tives bas lessened considerably under tbe ufljence of tbe extention of tbe Governments pro Irish policy. Tbe McCartbyite leaders have received ex plicit Ministerial assurance tbat the principal of Home Rule will be re affirmed at the coming- session ot tbe party congress and tbat it will be made tne first plank in tbe party platform.

In view of the lact that the state ot Alabama and other Southern States are without a Republican forjn of Govern ment, because of tbe rule of a political oligarchy which is perpetuated by mon strous frauds at the ballot box, tbe im perative necessity of a free ballot and an honest count is a constitutional right, and we demand that it be given, anr ask that the Chairman of tbe National Com mittee appoint a committee of three to submit evidence to tbe press of the coun try and to Congress to substantiate tne alarming and revolutionary condition, tbat thev mav be awakened to me threatening of peril, taused by tbe ex isting autocratic Anarchy in the South.
