- =3 THE OMAHA DAILY SIXTEENTH YEAR. [HE DAN-DAVID CONFERENCE. Lamont's Visit to Hill Declared to be With- out Political Significance. GOSSIPS THINK OTHERWISE. A New Policy Regarding Federal Pol- itics Under Discussion—Thornton Given Advice Concerning Vir- giniu's Debt--Capital Notes, Lamont's Visit to Hill, F WAsHINGTON, May 2.—Special Telegram to the Bee.|—Colonel Lamont returned from New York yesterday and made use of the stercotyped phrase that his conference with the governor of the emvire state “had no political signiticance whatever,”” Democratie partisans lere are unwilling to accept La- mont's statement. “Mr. Cleveland,” said a New York politician, “is not only a candi- date for re-clection, but is exceedingly anx- ious to head the democratic ticket again next vear. He realizes that Governor Hill is his only serious competitor at present, and La- mont’s mission was unquestionably that of a peacemaker.” In most circles, however, but little stress is placed upon the conference. The BEE cor- respondent to-day was repeatedly assured by gentlemen who knew a thing or two about the movements and aims of the administra- tion that there is no such thing as a deal being on between the ecutives of New York and the United States affeeting the presidency—that C and would not com- promise or combine with anybody. To-day Colonel Lamont, the president’s private sec- retary, was closeted with Secrctary Fair- child, and it is said that they were putting in form what the former and vernor Hill conferred about SAlludnr amely, a new policy regarding the polities of "the New York custom house and one or two other vrominent federal oflicers in that state.. It was observed by a knowing friend of the administration this evening that il had been assured that Cle had no desire for a second term, but this is discredited by others. 1t is improbable that Hill was con- sulted about anything further than federal spoils in New York and the policies of the administration in that state. The Public Debt Reduction, W ASHING May 2.—|Special wle- gram to the Ber.|—The April statement shows that the public debt has been reduced the last month $13,000,000, and for the ten months ending with April nearly $54,- 000,000, against 74,000,000 for the compara- tive months of the proceeding fiscal year. An examination of the figures of the bonded debt shows that the reduction for April in the interest bearing column was not quite $8,000,000, while for the months just closed it was $11,505,500, that amount of 3 per cents having disappearod since since July 1, 1556, leaving a little more than $15,000,000 of these bonds in the present in- terest bearing column of the amount last named. A call for §10,000,000 matured May 1, so that, deducting the bonds volun- tarily surrendered that are included in the last call, the amount of 3 per cents remain- Ing subject to call is about $19,000,000. Al- though no ofticial announcement of the fact has been made, it seems to be pretty well es- tablished that these $19,000,000 will be re- served for redemption until after July 1, s0 that the amount named may be utifized for” the sinking fund “next ear. The gold fund shows a falling off of $650,000, while the outstanding rertiicates show an increase of 8355, thus producing a_loss in the treasury net gold of about $1,000,000, the standard Kilver dollars, including ~nearly $6,000,- 000 of the redeemed trade dollars, and over $4,000,000, Against this sum there are outstanding certilicates amounting to nearly 35,000,000, an increase of nearly $6,000,000 since April 1. ‘T'he available cash balance is &l;‘mod at 334,446,083, an increase of $13,000,~ during the month. This balance is ex- clusive of nearly $24,000,000 held to redeem bonds called, including those that matured May 1, matured and accrued interest, and Interest on pacific railroad bonds. The re- ceipts for April were over $18,000,000, an in- crease of $3,200,000 over A pril, 1856, More than one-half of this increase came from customs. ‘The annexe the receipts and expenditures fs pnths ending April 80, 1886 and 1887 respectively : Customs. .

Of Interest to Consumptives, WasmiNgroy, May 1.—|Special to the Brk.|—The medical journals of the coun- try lave been discussing for some time, and with a great deal of interest, a cure for consumption discovered by a French physi- cian ing18%5, This new treatment, from which 8o much s expected, consists of the injection into the bowels carbolic acid ¢as impregnated with a small quantity of sul- pheratted hydrozen. ‘The theory is that this gas is taken up through the venous system and that the sulphur contained therein com- ing in contact with the supperated portions of the lungs arrests the progress of the disease and in time effects a cure. The treatment has been tried by a gr many physicians with wonderful results. A tirm in Philadel- phia which makes a specialty of physician supplies has begun the manufacturé of chines for the generation of the necessary gasses on a large scale and it is reported that physicians in all parts of the country have begun to order them.
