ENGLISH GRAIN.
The Mark Lane Ezpress says: Field

tinuous rains cause some uneasiness. Re.
ports from some parts Of the kingdom are less
promising than few weeks since. Reports
from Scotland are favorable. Supplies of
English wheat have been light, both at Mark
Lane and in provincial markets, and business
has been interfered with by the holidays
Trade was quiet, but fine samples sold steady
without any reduction in price. Imports of
foreign wheat into London were few, although
Mondays returns showed only 500 quarters
Subsequent arrivals to Friday exceeded 1900
quarters. The quantity has been swelled by
considerable importations from Odessa, and
Nicolaief, much OF VIII :ch has gone direct to
miliers. American arrivals have been light
the demand for No. 8 spring wheat ex-
ship has exceeded the supply The visible
supply shows a reduction OF 2 200, 900 bushels
in three weeks. White shipments to the
United Kingdom 124, goo quarters. Business
in Marx Lane is restricted, but prices have not
perceptibly varied. Sales of English wheat

AN LILY SUPPLIED CoMM1ssARY.
LONDON, April 26.-Telegrams from India
speak of complete breakdown of the
quartermaster and commissary departments
of the Khyber column at Jellalabad and
Goudomak. Owing to the lack of trans.
portation the column is said to he inca
paciated for offensive operations. The gar
rison of Kandihk is in very similar position.
In consequence of these failures the control
of transport has been transferred from the
commissariat to the commander of the
column, the chief commissary merely ad-
vising and assisting. This effects radical
change in the Indian military system. A
Pespawan dispatch says everybody, from
general down, is tired of the war, which
brings endless discomfort and little or no
glory.

GOVERNMENT POLICY susTA1NHD.
LONDON, April 28.-In the house of COM
mons tonight debate was resumed on Ry-
lands resolution oensuring the government
for an increase Of national expenditure.
Goschen blamed the government for post
poning the payment of liabilities. He point
ed to the example of the United States which
paid off one hundred and fifty millions of
debt during period of gloom and depres-
sion. Gladstone declared the increased OK
penditure had been incurred in furtherance
| of policy which had not in q single in
stance improved our relations with any ns-
tion or race on the face of the earth. The
estimates of expenditure presented by the
government were 50 incomplete as
to tend to make the budget
absolutely worthless and unreliable,
| and thereby imperil the control of parlia-
ment over the finances. Rathbone deepaired
of the maintenance If England's civil policy
rules. Like the Uni ed States and other
countries, she had government which was
determ ned to avoid complications aoroad.
Childers and other members continued the
debate on party lines. Northcote closed the
debate. He said the expenditure depended
upon 'he policy Of the government. If the
policy is wrong, let it be censured and aban-
doned; but if it is right, the country must
take the consequence. The house divided,
and Ryland's resolution was rejected, 303 to
$50.
The announcement of the vote caused
great excitement. The conservatives con-
tinued cheering for several minutes. Five
liberals and three home rulers voted with the

TURKEY, RouME1A AND BULGARIA.
LONDON, April 28.-The rumor that the
Porte has obtained relief from its most press
ing pecuniary endorsements by raising
loan in London on the surplus revenue of
Cyprus, is unfounded. All its financial pro-
jects are still unfruitful.
The organic statute for East Roumania has
been approved by the Porte. but the manner
OF putting it in operation is a question of
much difficulty.
The Mussulmen are afraid of being left
alone with the Bulgarians, and are immigrat-
ing in great numbers from Roumelia. From
$1,000 to 10000 are now t Adrianople. The
Bulsarians, afraid of the province being
again occupied by Turkish troops, are MAX
ing preparations for resistance.

pressed resolutions stumbled out of
the courtroom.

employed at intervals during thirty
years In exploring Central America
and surveying routes for an Inter-
Oceanic canal. The results of pre-
vious observations and SURVEYS
have recently been revised by a
Government expedition, which,
during three consecutive years, ex-
plored with intelligence and perse-
verance every line of communica-
tion between the two seas. What
Is the outcome of so much and such
thorough work Ia q Congress
wherein thirteen nations are repre-.
sented? All the distinctively
American plans are voted down by
an overwhelming majority and the
conclusions of the United States
delegation, with vice Admiral at
Its head, are fiippantly brushed
aside. The Napeolonic Wyse comes
upon the scene quarter of centu-
ry too late. Where will he get the
money for his canal? Certainly 1t
will not come from the United
States. The Tribune says: Suez
canal has proved financial failure.
Naturally, Frenchmen will be dis
inclined to invest their savings in
another canal project, although
the traffic is estimate l at 5000, 900
tons.
The Times says: IT seems 10 us
that candid and disinterested
judgment must be that Congress
has not decided the matter on its
merits, but in the Interest of q
special scheme which had control
over its action from the first, and
consequently the result Is not like
ly to command that confidence
which is absolutely essential to the
success of such gigantic UNDER
taking.
The Herald says of the Congress:
Nearly half the members were
Frenchmen, many being deputies
in the Assembly, or delegates from
Chambers of Commerce in the
great cities of France. They are
doubtless patriotic citizens, share.
holders in the Suez Company, and
unexceptlonable as promoters of
any enterprise purely French or
purely European.
The Bulletin discredits the sim
cerity of the Chief promoters of the
plan adopted, and quotes from the
Paris correspondent of the London
World the following: "Certain
drawlng-rooms of Paris are now
perfect nests Of stock jobbing
intrigue on behalf of one of the
projects, which, though 1t may not
result in a union of the two oceans
may reasonably be expected to
yield diamonds for a good many
women and snug offices for good
many men. The idea makes q
very strong appeal to patriotic sem
timent. There is general feeling
that 1t can be done and that France
ought to do it.
