THE EVENING STAR. Washington News and Gossip. GOVERNMENT RECEIPTS TO-DAY.-Internalrevenue, $394,126.31; customs, $470,174.08. SUBSCRIPTIONS to the four per cent. loan today amounted to $222,250. THE CABINET was in session about two hour and a-half this afternoon. What should be abodied in the annual reports of the diffe en Catinet officers and of the President was discussed. Secretary McCrary submitted reports showing that everything on the Rio Grande was quiet anl peaceable, with the prospect that they would remain SO permanently. Both Mexico and the U S. force were doing excellent duty in punishing raid and depredations. This information was the subject of much gratification to the Presi lent and all the members of the Cabinet. THE DELAY OF THE RECEIVER of the German National bank to publish a statement of its condition has given rise to a good deal of harsh criticism, and if the bank is in as solvent a condition as the receiver reports it verbally to be, then that fact should be officially communicated to the public. It is but justice to the bank officers, its patrons and the receiver, that this should be done to stitle stories afloat about fraudulent transactions. THE APPROPRIATION BILLS.-COL. Robert J.

THE GERMAN-AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK LITIGATION.-In the Circuit Court yesterday Judge MacArthur sustained the demurrers in the cases of B. U. Keyser, receiver of the German-American National Bank, against Horace Hatch, E. P. Halstead and C. E. Prentiss, for protested notes found in the bank safe, and gave plaintiff leave to amend. The demurrer was taken to the omission of a statement in the declarations of the receiver's appointment under the law.
