WasimiNaroy, April 24.—[Special Tele- Raised o4 gram to Tre Bee.] - The anti-administration press of the cast and west continues to an- nounce menacingly that the treasury threatened with a sorions deficit by virtue of excessive appropriations at the hands of the last congress. 1t is true that the surplus bas been reduced to a low evb—about $12,000,000 ~but it can be stated as positive without any reservation that every audited warrant against the federal government witl be paia without delay or quibble when pre- sented. ‘There is not the least danger of financial _embarrassment on the part of Uncle Sam on account of pension payments, public bulding appropriations, 1d harbor demands, or the redemption per cent bonds, which fall due Soptember 1, or anything else. Already the oficinis at the treasury department have found a uumber ot plans for meeting obliga- tious as they may be presented. In thegtirst place there are about 1,000,000 of subsidi- ary coin in the treasury, which has been counted ali along as unavailuble assets, As no one has asked for it, and this can and will bo paid out on pousions to meet other obligations if nccessary. This can also be counted in the reserve kield for the redemp- tion of national bank notes, It 1s not uneces- to pay out on the appropriations for orand harbor improvements and public buildings auy faster than the money is needod for disbursement, and ihus large ‘sums mway accumulate from that divection, payments being made in n- stallments as needed. The collections from international revenue and customs duties ar.d other directions duily exceed the expense by several hundred thousand dollars. As far as the redemption of the 41 per cent bonds, amounting to $50,000,000 or §50,000,000, are concerned, there will be 1o trouble what- ever i5 altogether likely that the surplus by September 1 will accumulate sufliciently to redeem all these bonds should a demand be made for the payment of all at one time, but such athing would be almost paradoxical. If, however, there is 10t a sufficient sur to meet the demands for redemption, the treasury can and may propose to hold the bonds now deposited for circulation aud pay 2 per ceut interest. The banks which'do not intend to contract eirculation and do not want to buy of their bonds for -security would undoubt- edly to a large extont accept the terms of this proposition as a temporary expedient, sud thus the emergency would be bridged. In fine the sceretary of the treasury has ample assets ana latitude at his command to meet all obligations of tue government as they aro presented, and it can b stated npon the hghest autovity that all the talk about a threateed deficies is buncombe, intended to friginten the ignorant and creato prejudice inst the party in power. Foster on Our Finances.

Oongratulation’Among Gommoners Over the Oonservatives' Stand. ITS EFFECT ON THE PARTY'S FUTURE. Britishers Want Information Regard- | ing the W —Alarming Advives feom Lasbon foundlanders Pl ased. 1Copyright 1891 bu New York Associated Pres .\ Loxvox, April 24.—Theae is much con gratulation among members of the commons that the conservatives have committed them- selves to free education, but much diversity of opinion as to how the new departure would effect the party's future. No one doubts that the *government has made the coup with u view to a general election. Con- servatives who dislike the measure accept it because of their desire to associate the name of the party with immense benefits to town workingmen and rural laborers, but the Jiberals rcason that tory action cannot take from them fSthe credit of the measuro for which they long fought. Tbe opposition has further and stronger reasons to hail the government scheme, con- taining, as it does, ubundant possibilities for party disruption and widespread national discontent. There will probably be denomi- national trouble, ete. From a tactical point ©f view the unionists could not have found a better ery to go to the country with than free education. ually, from a tactical pomnt of vie it could not be worse for them if, after the liverals accepted the principle of the bill, a coalition of tory malcontents with the mass of the liberals threw out the measure on questions relating to the popular control of schools or interference with denominational privileges, and as far as the views of the lib- eral leaders have been ascertained the bill will be opposed unless it concedes power to elect representatives in the managing bo of all schools, including voluntary and de- nominational. A small section of the opposi- tion appears to be willing to accept Mr. Goschen’s proposal in any form, arguing that free schools must ultimately imply popular control. But when the party ideas which are now rathe in solution crystalige under the pressur of party necessitv it is inevifable that the Tiberals will present the solidest opposition to the measure unless representative local con- trol is its guiding spirit. If a similar bill had been presented by a liberal governmentr its leading proposals would have been for the iu- stitution of school boards in every parish. With church schools to be managed by these boards the conservative government dare not attempt to interfere with the clergy who now control schools in over ten thousand parishes, nor will Mr. Goschen take the risk of interfering with de- nominational schools already drawing over £50,000 from the imperial exchequer. According to high authority, cabinet plans, howaever, simply involve free education in the lower standards, assisted education in the higher standards and increased grants to de- nominational schools. No change will be mado in the system of coutrol except that parents shall have power to elect part of the ard, The solid opposition of the liberals on this latter point may give the couserva- ul:vs a disastrous check on the eye of dissolu- tion. 1f Eogland is not properly represented at the Chicago fair the responsibility will rest upon the fair managers and not upon the English governmeut, which is evincicg the greatest intercst in the fair. The government has alreadv de- cided to make a handsome appropriation to insure a full exposition of English products, The amount of the appropriation, with the names of the commissioners to look after Englisn interests, will shortly be announcea in pariiament. Interviews with members show such a general sympathy with the undertaking that there is sure to be coraial Sun{;ul‘t of the proposed grant. The decision of the government toask a grant is an unusual sign of friendliness, In French exhibition no was made, While everything is favor- able as far as the government and the feeling of influential persons is con- cerned, it must be admitted that probable e: hibitors show marked indifference, which is entirely owing to the lack of information and the absence of uny one to supply informa- tion. Everything already done is due al- most solely to the spontancous efforts of Sir John Wood, Attorney General Webster, Jumes Dredge and other members of the fine arts society who had charge of the English exhibits in France. Mr. Dredge accompanied the 1ron and ol men o America in 18%0, and it is probable that he and Sir John Wood will be members of the Chicago commission. Mr. Dredge said: “We ave anxious to do all we can for the fair, but we are working under difficulties, We have no information such as exhibitors must have before preparing exhibits. Chicagoans must bestir themselves if they wish England to be fully represented. There are many preju- dices to be overcome. Among the difficulties is the absence of any one able to give infor- mation in regard to space and transportation of freight from the seaboard. The McKuwley law is still a big bug- bear. All sorts of reports are pub- lished concerning the fair--quarrels among the directors about site, ete. Information is necessary to counteract these canards. While many of them are on their face absurd, an impression remains which does harm. For instance, the Economist says that the Illinois laws will probably prevent the employment in the fair building of people sent” from abroad in charge of the exhibits, The people of Chicago ought to act instantly if they ex- pect or desire a creditable display on the part of England. The foreign_office has received alarming advices from Lisbon. The English minister, Glynn Petrie, represents the political situa- tion as critical. The Portugese cabinet ought to submit a new English couvention to the cortes May b, but the premier pleads for an extension of the modus vivendi and delay 1o the publication of the convention in order to give time for abatement of the excitement against England, which is imperiling the position of the government. The Newfoundland delegates express them- sclves gratified at their reception in the house of lords. Since their statement in the lords they have received many encouraging promises of support from oficérs and mem- ers of the common. A Chillian euvoy, Senor Godoy, has been trving to negotiate a loan of £150,000 for sident Balmaceda, London financiers having declined to udvance the mouey, ho went to Paris, where he con- tinues a search for a syndicate to take the loan. He has ve little success, Godoy asverts that Balmaceda still has plenty of money to pay the troops with, and sooner or later will® overthrow the in: surgents. His declarations in regard to the state of the exchequer are doubtful, in view of the fact that the Chilian cruisers built in France cannot leave because two-fifths of the price stipulated to he paid after final trial is not forticoming. Senor Godoy Is now about 10 go to Berlin to seek tinaucial help, Gladstone has decided to support the di- vorce reform bill introduced by Hunter, This amazed the liverals, who believed ne would oppose any extension of divorce us @ matter of religious principle. The bill en- titles the wife to the dissolutlon of the mar- riage tie in_the event of adultery or four years desertion on the part of the " husband. The house of lords will reject it, as the bish- ops will congregate against it.

Captain Varney on Trial, Loxnos, Avril 24, —[Special Cablegram ta Tie Bere,|—The trial of Captain Edmund H, Varney, liberal member of parhament for North Buckinghamshire, who is charged with having been mstrumental in procuring a governess named Nellio Beckett for im moral purposes, was continued today at the Bow street poligg court.
