ANGELL. WIS DETENTION 1X L13DON. Bpectal Dispateh to The Tribune. WarnisutoN, D. C, Nov, 23.—The case of Angell was considerea In Cablnet to-lay. Sec- retary Evarts communicated allthe informatlon he had upon the snbject. The report ias been given out that, because there Ia no extradition treaty with Portugal, no effort will be made to sccure Angell, This report is erroncous, The truth is that, notwithstanding the great mys- terg which has been made of this maiter by the State Department, Angell has really beon ar- rested by tho voluntary if not arbitrary action of the Portuguase authorities, aud is now In tho practical custody of the United States Consul at Lisbon. Of this fact therc can he littie doubt. It he wns not in the custody of somcbody, it 1s Jifeult to cxolaln bow Sccretary Evarts coula know that 250,000 of the stolen money wers FOUND UFON NIS PERSON. Yethe mado that statement at thd Cabinet mecting to-day, Itcan bo etated with confl- deuco that tho Portuguese authorities, byfact ot courtesy, and not under a treaty which docs not exist, have voluateared to hold Angell in cus- tody until such timo jas the officers can take him. If the Courts wero disposed to enforce the net of thelr Governient fo practically kid- napping Angell, they could release him from custody, but any one who knows the Courts of the Spanish Peninsula may rest assured that no cffort to counteract the purpose of the Gouvern- ment wit be made.

Wasbed s Hands of Them=Speaka fils Mind About the Inaatent Banks. Qrreavondencs Linctnnatl Ragutrer, ‘Lexinaroy, Ky, Nov. 18,—Senator James B, Beck reachied homo on Friday from Iilinots, whero it was thonght he had been to attend the Chicago Commerefal Conventlan, [Te has given ore ‘attention to the consideration of the questlons likely to come befors such a Conven. tion than most public men, and, as he had been represented fn the nowspapers, through the As. soviated Pruss, a8 having takea parl fu the de. bate, as Enguirer representative walted upon him os soon a8 possible to learn his views as 1o the charaeter and alm of the Chicage gathering, The firat surprise was to learn that Mr. Beck had not been in sttendance at the Convention, although appointed by the Governor to repre. seat Kontucky. A MERTING OF BUNSIDY SCIEMERS, Ho exorcased his obinlon of the Convention with energy.and emphasis, fecling evidently tn. dlgnane that he should be supposed to take any part fn §t. Baid Mr. Bock: I went from Ces. tral Illinols, where I had private businees, to Chicago for the purposa of sttending what | sppposed Lo be a Commcreial Conventlon in the broadest sense, called todiscuss our Tarft, Tax, and Navigation lnws, and I expected to give my vicws on these subjects, but L saon found by in- quiry that | was nistaken, and I never enteren the hall aftor the orgmnization of the by} so that all reports as ta any participation by me s its action aro untrue. It scemed to mce tobe simply o meoting of the friends of va. rious” sabsldy “schemes, sach s wlling to support nll the others, so. they sccuired what they wanted,—that s tho fundamental yice In tho system of sabsidy monopoly, ur tloss legislation; each schemo ‘is made part of every other. Banks, tarifTs, bonds, railroads, steam. ships, cle., get all they nsk by the united yote of all those who wabt anythivg. They combine and *paol thefr fssucs’ in thelr rn!&’a on the Treasiry, which bLas to bs supplied by taxation levled in the most unjust and expensive wav, [ nm unable to sec how this people con endurs ‘sny further or higher taxatfon, either by tarif or (ntornal-revenue taxes, to subsidize oy ot the schemes now =0 urgently pressed upon Con- gress.”? . ' WIIAT OUGHT TO DR DONE. It was plain that the Benatordiffered radieally from the majority of the Chicago Conventing a8 to the best means of bullding up our forcign comnerce, and, ns he had grown warm upon the subject, the Interviower fuquired what wers Mr, Beck's vicws as t0 the best means to accom- plish this object. Mr. Beck—That_{s too big & guestlon to sn- swer {n a fuw words, I would begin by repeal: ing thenavigation laws relutive to sliips engaged In forcign trade, and let our people buy ships, an tho peopleof every other civilized natlon now do, where they can buy them cheapest. ‘The monopoly of the constwise trade Is u sutilcient burden to carry for New England.
