THE SECRET SERVICE FuNp-There has been
much talk recently of the Secret Service Fund.
This fund has always been appropriated by Con.
gress, and its application has been left by the
law. to the sole discretion the President.
"The New York Telegraph says that the largest
expenditure made by the American Govern
ment in this way, since the Revolution. was in
1912, when John Henry, supposed to be Bri,
tish agent, received from Mr.. Madison $50 600
in two drafts on the Treasury, one OF 9i9, 900
and the other Of $1,000, Before he left the Uni
States, he purchased of the Count de Griloa,
then at Washington. an estate in Ianguedoc,
France, for 400, coo francs, OF which the amount
received from our Government WAS supposed TO
have been part.
Mr.. Madison sent messageto Congress infor-
ing them of the plot, and also with the message,
series of letters between this George Henry and
Sir Thomas Craig, Governor General Of Canada,
and his Secretary, Mr.. Ryand.
Henry made these discoveries in consequence,
as he alleged, of "the peridy and dishonor of
those who first violated the conditions on which
he received their confidence" and on the ground
of retaliation The papers he communicated
were vouminous, and Congress thought them so
important as to print 5000 copies, appearing to
believe in the authority of the documents.
Henry was an Englishman, and had been
captain in our army of l79s.
The British Minister at Washington, Mr., Fo,-
ter, disavowed the whole affair in official let.
ter to the Secretary of State, who also made a
report TO the President, that the department was
not in possession of any names or persons in the
United States who had any way countenanced
the project and views Of Mr.. Henry.
The affair made great sensation at the time,
but the author oft left the country in few weeks
after his communication had been made public,
and sailed from New York on the 10th of March,
1912, in the ship Wasp for France His subse-
quent career, we have not yet been able to
trace
During the Revolution large sums were ex'
pended for secret services, and in 1916 the a.
mount appropriated for those purposes was about
100000,
or late years the amount expended has been
very trilng"

made to induce cxPresident Tyler to break
ground on this subject, and 10 disavow having
sanctioned the disbursements.
Mr. C. j. Ingersoll asked whether the mem.
Der meant tosay that the attempt had been made
BY him.
Mr.. Ashmun replied in the affirmative.

u TnE NATIONAL FAIR.--The great fair to
be held at Washington City, on the goth of May,
will probably exhibit the most extensive and
splendid display Of American manufactures and
products that has ever been witnessed. An i'm.
mense temporary building, covering an extent of
over five hundred feet front, is already nearly e.
rected. Goods manufactured in almost every
part of the United States will be sent to the fair.
The manufacturers are willing to contrast them
side by side with the imported articles. We
predict that it will be great triumph of Ameri.

and speeulatiops Of British tree.trade theorists

The Presidents Message.

AS neither of the Washington papers contain
the Presidents Message relative to the Secret
Service Fund, we copy the following abstract
from the Baltimore American:
The Message was read, beginning with re.
cital OF the resolution calling for the items of the
secret service fund. The President says that,
with on anxious desire to furnish the information
lift were consistent to do it, he must decline.
The foreign intercourse Act Of 1910, in pursu.
snce Of which information was communicated,
was stated.
Tho law required the public items 10 be sta.
tod privately. The Presidents certificate only
was required to be presented to the accounting
officer to secure the payment Of the same Had
the public items been called for they would
have been communicated with great pleasure
But the secret expenditures cannot be made pub.
lie without injury to the public interest. Som.
Of his predecessors have not specified for what
the secret service fund was expended.
His predecessors had declared that this sum Of
S5,4jO was expended for foreign intercourse.
Mr.. Polk the question iswhether the reso.
luton can be answered at all with propriety.
AS a general rule, it should not be done, and
whether it could be done under any circumstan-
ces or not, is q subject for serious consideration
The President may keep the information in his
own hands # he chooses, in which case the items
do not become public records by being filed a.
way. They are not seen by the accounting Of
fcer.
The provision of the law of 17S9 were then
stated and explained, when Mr.. Polk says that
if called upon to answer this Resolution, he
would be under the necessity Of answering all
such calls, whether under one administration or
another, or whether in Peace or in War. The
Presidcn, says that he is aware Of the preiudices
against keeping any thing secret but there are
circumstances which may require it
While in office, says Mr.. Polk, I have had no
account settled upon the Presidents certificate,
and it would be an extreme case that would al.
low him to use his certificate. Still, if there
was necessity for this, he should most cheer
fully take the responsibility of doing so. The
House, as the Grand Inquest the nation, hive
right to investigate the conduct OF all public
officers, but it must always be bya committee.
Such committee would have the right to demand
the appearance Of every public and private pa.
per, but they would not communicate what was
done to the injury of the public intere.t
No communication is found upon the flee o.
the Department, in reference to the special mis-
sion to England, says Mr.. Polk, and therefore
this part of the information is not given, as de.
sired by Mr.. Polk. All public papers (and
they cover forty or fifty pages) are communica.
ted.

HOPE IN THE DISTANCE.

We see that our Representative, Mr.. Atkinson
has moved in the House on the subject of the YES

on his motion, II was
q" Resoired, That the Committee on Naval
Affairs he instructed to inquire into tie expedien
cy OF having completed and fitted for service The
ship the line New York and the frgate ST.
Lawrence, now on the stocks at Gusport, in Vir-
GINA"
We are glad that our friend Bayly, from the
Eastern SHIRE. has stirred our Representative up.
On Tuesday previous to the offering of the above,
Mr.. Bayly moved in the House the following re-
solution, which was in operation al the time the
Committee on Navel Affairs, to which Bayly be-
longs, was inquired Of for information as 10 what
1t would cost 10 complete and fit these vessels

Resolved, That the Secretary of the Navy
he requested 10 communicate to the House how
long the ships New York and ST. Lawrence ha w
been upon the stocks how many similar ships
have been hnilt and launched since the building
OF said ships were commenced. and where they
were built -
