THE ENGLISH MINISTRY.

LONDON, April 2S.-The Stan
dard says: Beaconsficld took leave
of the Queen yesterday. The fol~
lowing appointments were finally
made: Duke of Argyle, lord of
priyy seal; Earl of Kemberley,
secretary of state for the colonial
department; John Bright, chancel-
lor Duchy of Lancaster; Marquis
Ripon, viceroy to India. He was
offered the viceroyalty to either
Ireland or India. The report that
Lord Derby was offered seat in
the cabinet is untrue. The absence of
advanced liberals has, after long
negotiations, been met by conceding
a seat in the cabinet to Mr.. Cham"
berlain, who will probably be presi-
dent of the board of trade. Sir
Charles Dixie accepts the position
of under secretary for the for
eign department; Earl Spencer
will be lord president of the coun-
Gil, instead Of the duke of Argyll,
as reported yesterday. 1t is Official
ly announced that the late ministers
will go to Windsor to-day by the
1910 p. m. train, and the new min.
listers by the Ito p. m. train. Lord
Cranbrook attended the India Office
for the last time yesterday. The
Times states that the earl Of Ken,
mare has been appointed lord great

SEN NATE.
WASHINGTON, April {

AohlNdloN, ApIll 90
Senator Blaine (Me.) submitted a
resolution calling on the president
for copies of the correspondence be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain relative to the alleged out
rage upon American fishermen at
Fortune Bay. Adopted.
Bills were introduced and referred
as follows:
By Senator Maxey TEX For
the relief of David G. Burnett,
late president of Texas.
By Senator Morgan (Ala.) ITO
enforce the observance of the con-
stitution of the United States in re-
gard to the election of president
and vice president of the United
States. Referred to a select com
mittee on that subject.
Senator Davis (W. Va.) pre-
sented the report of the majority of
the select committee appointed to
investigate the accounts of the
treasury department. Senator
Ingalls, (Kansas) presented the mi
nority report. Senator Davis, in
some remarks upon the results of
the committees labors, said the
books of the treasury department
showed many and great discrepan-
cies, amounting, in some years, to
nearly $1OO,000,000. Most of
them appeared in the years be-
tween 1860 and 1871. In Nvvem-
ber, 1870, the register of the treas
ury, by order Of the secretary,
changed the figures and amounts, as
previously reported to congress, SO
as to apparently increase the public
debt by $10,O00,000. In 1878,
there was a similar change OF
$4,000, 900, and in 1874, of $75,-
100000. In 1870, the figures of the
register and secretary agreed. Now
they largely disagree. Testimony
shows that three items, amounting
to Sc, ,293,82 were added to the
public debt by order of the secreta>
ry, when none of said three items
appeared on the treasury books.
A comparison of the debt state
ments for 1869 and 1870 shows that
the public debt, instead of being de-,
creased as it should have been by
the dropping of the Pacific railroad
bonded debt, was increased between
$90,000,000 and 100000.
Erasures and alterations on the
treasury books amountto thousands,
and affect hundreds of millions of
dollars. Leaves are cut from books
and not accounted for, and warrants
for millions of dollars are missing
and can not be found.
Senator Ingalls,, in behalf of
the minority of the committee, said
majority had failed to discover a
single fact that had not been known
to congress and the country since
1871. All of the. discrepancies re-
ferred to in the majority report
have been repeatedly explained and
shown to be corrections, the re-
suit of careful revision and analysis
OF the treasury books by competent
clerks in the secretary's office. The
alterations and erasures referred
to are innocent, and were render
ed necessary by the errors and

PENNSYLVANIA.

HARRISBURG, April 28.-The
democratic state convention met in
the opera house to-day. All hope
of a compromise between the con-
tending Philadelphia, or Wallace
and Randall, delegations, being at
an end, matters were very lively all
the morning in the hotels and cons
mittee rooms. Great difficulty is
experienced in gaining admission to
the hall of the convention and a
large number of special doorkeepers
were on hand. The Randall people
appeared to have thorough control
of all the entrances to the hall and
many visitors received their ticket
Of admission before those of the
delegates were issued. So strict
were the doorkeepers that it was
impossible for the telegraph mes
sengers to pass in and out and great
difficulty is experienced in reaching
the telegraph office. When Speaker
Randall entered the hall he was
greeted with most enthusiastic cheer
ing. He had not been elected
delegate, but appeared as an alters
nate. Senator Wallace was also
present as a delegate.
About l o'clock Speaker Ram
dolph had another short interview
with Senator Wallace, which ended
in an agreement to compromise the
dispute between their respective
factions by appointing q committee,
to whom all differences should be
referred.
At Ito the convention was
called to order, and Mr.. Cassidy
announced that he brought glad
tidings to the convention and all
people of the commonwealth. lie
said that the leaders, at the last
moment, had agreed upon plan to
adjust all differences in Philadel-
phia in a manner creditable to the
entire democratic party. He then
named committee, to which, he
said, all the contests would be res
ferred without debate.
Speeches were made by McssrS.
Randall, Wallace and others, after
which the convention took a recess
until 5 o'clock, at which time the
committee of six appointed to set
tie all contests will report.
The convention reassembled at 5
O'Clock, but the committee of six
was not ready to report, and it
therefore took further recess until 8
O'clock.
