LONDON, Nov. 2o.-At the opening Of the
Prussian Parliament yesterday Count. Stol-
berg Wernigerode vice president OF the
Prtssian Ministry, said that the government
relies upon the cooperation Of the Chambers
for the removal of financial difficulties Last
year's surplus, he said, will be almost entirely
required to cover tho Increasing contribution
of Prussia towards the German eyGhequer.
Interest on the public debt will likewise be
considerably Increased, and there are other
unavoidable expenses unless Important inter-
ests are to be neglected.
He said rerenchment will be almost i'm
possible. The influx Of large sums from ex-
traordnary sources has ceased, while the or
binary and regular revenue is suffering from
the continued depression Of trade, which does
not allow Of counting upon any sensible addi-
ton to previous figures. The revenue Is in
sufficient to cover the ordinary and regular
expenditures Of the Htitte Tho means re-
uuired to amend this state Of things will be
found in the taxes and imports handed over
to the German exCheuuer. Meanwhile. the
current expenditures will have to be partly
betrayed by loans
The Iimea Berlin dispatch says the deficit
is fixed at more than 100 900, and but for
the last remnant Of the French indemnify
distributed in 1876 it would have occurred q
year ago. It is mainly occasioned by the
steady increase Of military expenditures &C
companied by q decrease Of Indirect taxes and
proceeds from government railways, mines
and forests, The exact figures Of the deficit
are still unknown. but the total result strange
ly contrasts with the gratifying aspect Of the
, PrussiHn budget for SO many years,

WASHINGTON. Nov. 20-The action OF the
President in the case Of Carey w. Miller. Of
indianapolis. has been grossly misreprosenteH.
The facts. as shown by the record, are as
follows:
The friends of Miller applied to the Presi-
dent to issue pardon and save Miller from 81
criminal prosecution. This was done after
the bank had been paid the amount embez-
zled The request to pardon Miller was
backed by great many influential people OF

The President. while he thought the case
MS presented to him would justify bis inter

vestigated So he simply. through the At
torney General Informed tho district attor,,
ney not to present Millers ease to the grand
jury for the present. Such action Is had
almost every day throughout the country.
The President intended no interference with
the jury. That body had the same right to
investigate the case as If it had been pre-
scented by the district attorney.

NEW YORK. Nov. 2D.-An evening paper

case since Monday evening last. IL Is Known
to the authorities that the Dissertation OF the

tured. Around this man. who has medical
proclivities and is mentioned as boarding IN
the vicinity of the church. yard, the net is fast
closing. The Increased reward offered makes
no mention Of the recovery of the body, and
simply offers remuneration to those who may
give satisfactory Information to strengthen
the evidence already in possession Of the
police and detectives.
The man who Is yet TO be naptured made his
appearance at q fashionable boarding house
IN the vicinity of st. Mark s graveyard short
|time previous to the robbery; He chose a
room commanding q view OF the cemetery.
He inserted for some days in the Herdfd an
advertisement by which An ENORMOUS profit
was to be made by the use Of small capital.
The man seemed Of refined character. lie
was q middle aged man. He represented HIM
self as 8 physician, aud during his stay cultt-
waited the acquaintance Of three medical stu
dents who boarded at the same house and
who left the place about the same time as the
medical advertiser, who was last seen The
Wednesday before the robbery Of the grave.
He is said TO have been seen in the neghhpr-
hood Of the cemetery late ON the night OF The
theft.

above, Superintendent Walling, at 2 80 D. m,
said he had no knowledge of the re-
covery Of the body of A. I. Stewart nor
any clue He also said that the three men ar
