BRITISH STEAMSHIPS ON TUEIAKEs

Ia LII n -.
good deal of solcitude has been produced on
the frontier by the British Government buildinq
several armed steamships on the Lakes, and the
opinion prevails that it has been done in violation
OF the treaty between Great Britain and this comm
try. The Albany Evening Journal gives the
facts in the matter
treaty or arrangement was made in 1917 be-
tween Great Britain and the two countries. bv
which 1t was stipulated that the naval forces to be
maintained upon the American Lakes by the re-
spectlve parties, should thereafter be confined to
the following vessels on each side:
son Lake Ontario, to one vessel not exceeding
one hundred tons burden, and armed with an
eighteen pound cannon.
son the upper Lakes to one vessel no, exceed-
my d IKE burden, and armed with like force"
"On the waters Of Lake Champlain. one YES
s'l not exceeding like burden. and armed with
like torce.'' ''
1t is further agreed, that if either party sbopld
thereafter be DESTROYS of annulling the agreement
and should give six months notice to that effect
the agreement should cease 10 be binding after
me expiration of the six months The British
government gave notice to the President of the
United States in November 1898, that the Gov
eminent had found it necessary to increase their
armament On the Lakes.
MI. van Buren, seems to have supposed that il
was perfectly proper and safe to let the British
Government have as large force upon the Lakes
as 1t pleased, and to leave the frontier defence
less on our party. y. Erpress

SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS 10 buy cham
Der furniture, for the Presidents House. Ii
was stated that there were but three beds in
the mansion-that it was destitute of iurni
ture necessary TO the comfort Of a family;
that though the furniture; had cost oveI
500, 900, il was worth but little, and re9uir'
ed renewal. Many of the rooms in the man
sion, have never been furnished at ALI 20
Adams, carried his own furniture into the
House, and Jackson and Van Buren,, icing
single men, had no need o! many furnished
chambers.
Mr.. Wise opposed the item; he would not
give another cent for that House, unless
Gen. Harrison should ask for it, as uecessa-
ry.
Mr.. Afford moved to sell the "gold spons''
and other useless articles. and with the pro-
ceeds to purchase necessary furniture.
Mr.. Lincoln stated. on the authority Of Of
fcial documents, that there was not q 'gold
spoon" in the Eouse-that they were silver
gilt.
Mr.. Blrnard, declared hat the furniture
of the White House "was unfit for the place;
unsuitable for Il gcnlieman-and that it
ough, to be sold, and new furniture purchas-
ed in its stead"
Mr.. Wise said-either there has been
great extravaganza in the furniture of the
executive mansion, or our allegations to that
effect were unfnunded.
Some called inr the reading Of 'O-le's
Speech" and Others suggested that the iurni.
ture NAV have been stolen. Mr.. Stanley
said. The large sums heretofore appropriated.
Ind been inprovidcn,ly expended.
Mr.. Alfnid'S amendment was rejected, and
the item was agreed 10.
