Tbis statement doe? not include the $100,000,003 gold reserve, which Secre-tary Foster has stated at various limes that he could Use in case of necessity. nor does it include tbe gold and silver coin in the trearury. It includes only the currency available for current de-mands. ; . Itis stated on frood authority that during tha. present week the treasury officials hive had to "hustle" to get to-gether sufficient currency to meet the demands and drafts, and, where practi-cable, drafts have been drawn ou the f jr at New York to avoid cur-tailing tie: small currency balance in the treasury department. Money has also by express and telegraph firpoints remoyed from tho to meet urgent de-mands, as;the treasury could not afford to have ths ftinda remain idlo at small points. ' This "crainp" for currency is brought about by the redemption of the 4 per cent bbnds rnort than $15,000,000 of which bafien redeemed during th present in on.:!), and also to the falling Jnf cUKtotn reeeiiitt, which shows a dt'cread' o1-$- i er caf firing tile pres- ent raoul.ll over the ahia mouth last fyfcaKJilelr.Vji ikyments have lo figi.H JfV'kv..J Vhe available,1 .cnrrenCIVV-00-0 b fli?lf Vb'a . jut on " Ik-"- Thetra now remain ' Jitf $d,fXM.00S of 4 i per cent bonds to bfl t fher fepeiq--e- d or continued, and when these are disposed of he thought that the avail-able currency in the treasury would r..- increase. Of the 89,000.000 in 4 per cent bonds it is believed that about $7,000,000 will be presented for redemp-tion. While the treasury department is therefore at this time having a tight time to find currency to transact busi-ness, the pressure will soon bo removed and mature run along smoothly, as they have for some time past. There are yet outstanding $9,143,000 of the 4J per cent loan which have not yet been continued or redeemed. The government deposits in the national banks depositories have now been re- - duced to tV.i. 000.000. The annual report of Commissioner llaum of the pension bureau has been submitted to the secretary of the inte-rior. It shows that on June ISO, lH'JI, there wero (i7ti,l(i0 pensioners on tho rolls, being an increase of l!iS,21(! for the last fiscal year.

During the last fiscal year payments w ere paid upon 131,111(1 original claims, amounting to $31,301,538. This is an increase in the number over 1800 of 01,532, the aggregate cost, however, being $1,087,302 less. There were 22,-5- 1 lirst payment of every description, requiring "$138,552,274. "being 00.502 less than required for the 130,514 first nr.yments made during the last fiscal year. 'The average value of first payments was tJ30. The average valuo of first payments under the act of June 27, was $71. The aggregate annual value of 070, 150 pensions on the roll June 30, 1801, was $l.247,200; the aver-age value of each pension, $130; the average value of each pension under ths act of June 27, 1S0O, $121. At the close of the fiscal year there wure 38,574 pensioners on the roll w ho remained unpaid for want of time, and who were entitled to receive $S,8-3.24.- ', which will be paid out of tha appro-priation for the current fiscal year, and there remained in tho hands of the pen-sion agents the sum of $5,7 13,852, w hich has sinco been covered into Hie treasury. This amount, added to tho ? !. tJt 7. 1 :; of appropriations not drawn aggregates $0,320,080 of the appropriation which was not expended. There will be a de-ficiency in the appropriation for the payment of fees and expeuses of exam-ining surgeons of about $3,000,000. The total amount disbursed on ac-count of pensions, eto., during the fis-cal year was $11,518.050, as compared witn $106.4113,880 for the preceding fis-cal year.

The greatest surprise connected with the meeting ot the German-America- Clerical union in this city came out last night. It was the leaking out of the fact that Hurr Caheusley's personal representative had beon present in the city through-out the whole week's deliberations, and was only prevented at the last moment from making the opening address of the congress, having l.eeu shown by soma members of tho committee on arrangement the intolerable position in which the clerical union and tl.e congress would be placed by him. in the event of such a connection between tbem being publicly established. l'aul Mare Von Garten is the name of the envoy, and the Catiensley plan so far as known publicly, has been to what would amount to a German-America- n hierarchy in America, inde-pendent of the present Crtholic bishops whose authority would thus be role-gate- d to the it Hairs of the speaking Catholic population. Failing in this, vacancies occurring iu the hier-archy of the United Slates were to be rilled to the greatest extcut potsible by Geruiaus.

"From the fact that an increase of about three and one-hal- f mil-lions is the j;ros earnings was effected at an increased expense of the cost of operating and malulaining of about live millions of dollars, the conclusion. is inevitable that, after making full al- - : lowan. e for all local aud exceptional j requirements for inereasnd expendi-ture- s, tflSt a large portion of tha busi-ness of the year was secured at rate involving an absolute loss.

The government directors say they reluctantly concur in this course of of action as adopted, as presenting ap- - ' parenlly the only means of relieving tho company, but regret the temporary character of the provision for relief, and the additional fact that it is neces-sary to hypothecate not only bonds but slocks held by the company.
