THE FINANCIAL CONFERENCE.
In accordance with the decision of
Mondays conference regarding Egyptian
finances, in which Lord NOrthbroOk, Sir
Evelyn Barring, Nubar Pasha and others
took part, the Ministry of Finance yester-
day gave orders that the revenues which
had been assigned to the Caisse de la
Dette Publique for the redemption
of the unified debt by purchases
in open market should be temporarily
paid into the Egyptian Treasury.
The purpose of this action is to enable
the Treasury to pay the current expenses
OF the government and tribute to Turkey.
Such payment is now impossible owing
to the heavy deficit. The members of the
'tCaisse" protest against this action of
the Finance Ministry. They say that
they will hold the governments of the
provinces answerable for payments made
without receipt from the Caisse.
No communications have been received
from the Austrian Consul at Khartoum
since last April. and considerable anxiety
is expressed at the Austrian Consulate at
Alexandria as to his safety.
Gen. Lord Wolseley will leave this city
to ascend the river Nile about Oct. 10, at
which time it is expected that the requi-
site number of troops and supplies of
stores will have passed Wady Halfa en-
route to KhartOum

tiles. lie Paris summons the powers to
protest against such an audacious Yio-
lation of the International law of liquida-
tiOn.

Mrs, Harriet Cummings, of Cincinnati,
Ohio, writess "Early last winter my
daughter was attacked with severe cold,
which settled on her lungs. We tried
several medicines, none of which seemed
to do her any good, but she continued TO
get worse, and finally raised large amounts
Of blood from her lungs. We called in a
family physician, but he failed to do her
any good. At this time friend, who had
been cured by Dr. VIM. HalPs Balsam

We then got bottle, and she began to
improve, and by the use Of three bottles
was entirely cured.

ALBANY, N. Y, Sept. 19.-Mayor Chas.
D. Jacobs, of Louisville, KY, Judge Hake,
of the same city, and 1. Dinkelspiel, edi-
tor of the Louisville Commercial. consti-
tuting the committee appointed for that
purpose, called on Gov. Cleveland this
afternoon, and exte nded cordial invita-
tiOn to him to attend the Louisville EX-
position, now in progress. The Governor
listened to their request, and while ex-
pressing great desire to see the South,
could not give the committee much en-
couragement that he would accept their
invitation, as the duties of the executive
Office were too pressing. During the first
part of next month the Governor intends
to make a trip to Buffalo. He has no
other engagements that will take him
away from the capital.

GRESHADpS PLANS
1t is His IatentiOn Not to Resign from
the Cabinet Before March.


the Cabinet Before March.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-In regard to
the received report that Postmaster Gen
eral Gresham is about TO resign to accept
Judge Drummond's place on the Circuit
bench, it may be said that Gen. Gresh-
ANS own statement is: 81 propose to
remain in President Arthur's Cabinet
until the 4th of next March,
There is reason to believe
that the Drummond rumor is
revived by enemies of Gen. Gresham in
Indiana, who want to place him in the
attitude of delaying the acceptance of
Judge Drummond's resignation for his
own purposes. Gen. Gresham will, it is
believed, when his service in the Post
Office Department ends accept the posi-
tion in ex-senator McDonald's law firm
at Ind annapolis, which has been open for
years. This firm stands in the front rank
at the Indiana bar.

All the Republican Government Officials

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19-Oficial alb.
senteeism has never been carried to a
greater extent than it has been this year.
Nearly all the members of the cabinet
have already been away from their de.
partments over two months, and the
White House has been deserted even
longer than that. The various heads of
the bureaus and assistant secretaries
have been absent over month. and will
remain away perhaps mouth longer for
the purpose of doing political work.
Commissioner of Pensions Dudley has al
ready spent more than a month away from
his office, and he will devote the coming
three or four weeks IN active political
work in Ohio and Indiana. Many of his
subordinate officers and clerks and agents
are likewise engaged, and in the mean
time the work of this important office is
neglected, and neglected at a time when
thousands of claimants are anXiouslv
awaiting the adjustment of their claims.
and at time, too, when Republican
stump orators are prating of
their prOfessed monopoly of caring
for the disabled soldiers and
the widows and the ornhans
Of the nations dead. Commissioner of
Patents Butterworth was complaining to
Congress all last session that his office
was oyerwOrked, and that he ought 20
have a large increase of clerical force to
keep his business in hand. Yet he has
spent weeks away from his post. Part of
the time he has been in New York, part
of the time in Maine, and now he is in
Ohio deyoting his energies to politics.
Judge Lawrence, First Comptroller of the
Treasury, another Ohio man, has also
gone home to take the stump for Blaine,
and scores of officers and clerks are being
sent TO that State by the Blaine managers
to do political work.

Sporting Men Charge Oarsman Norris
Friends With CrOokedness.
PrTTsBURG, Sept. 19.-Since the last
race between Norris, of Boston, and
Priddy, of Pittsburg, on Saturday last,
there have been a number of unsavory ru-
mors afloat in regard to Priddy's treat
ment. On Monday he was reported to be
sick, and he went to Springdale, Pa, to
recuperate. Yesterday he was brought
home with both arms so completely para
lyzed that galvanic battery had no effect
on them. 1t is now openly charged in
sporting circles that Priddy was tampered
with by some persons before the race, and
that if he had been in good condition the
result would have been different. Priddy
is matched to row Clayton on Saturday,
but won't be in condition to do so. His
friends are trying to arrange for a post
pOnement.

TWO FIRES IN DAY.
Atlanta had two fires to-day. The first
one broke out at 3 O'Clock this morning.

cottages ON Hunnicutt street owned by

fire owes its origin to an incendiary.
They were valued at $500 and were covered
by insurance.
The second fire was the burning of a
twO-stOry brick residence on Marietta
street opposite the Atlanta Cotton Mills,
owned Jointly by Edward Calm, Michael
Ragan and Lavender Ray. The building
was valued at $4,000 and was partially
insured. The damage is estimated at
$4,000.
Joseph S. Bean, Captain of the Clinch
Rifles of Augusta, has forwarded his re-
slgnation 10 the Governor, which was re-

the resignation being handed in.

DUBLIN, Sept. 19.-The municipal au-

not TO pay the extra police tax or send a
deputation to Earl Spencer, Lord Lieu
tenant, of Ireland, whom they denounce

fhat tho local authorities did not furnish
sufficient protection against outrages,
and the cost Of their maintenance was
assessed upon the communities to which
they were assigned. This is the tax that
Limerick refuses to pay.
