THE BRITISH ADMIRALTY.
The Blunder in Accounts Discovered by the
New Chancellor.

The Blunder in Accounts Discovered by the
New Chancellor.
LONDON, July 1.-THE discovery of the blum
der in the Admiralty accounts was brought
about by the estimates which a prominent official
was required to make Of the expense of the de-
partment up to June, 1886. His figures were
found to be the same as those which had
been given by Mr.. Childers the Liberal Chancel-
lor of the Exchequer for the period ending three
weeks earlier This remarkable result induced
Sir Michael Hicks Beach, the Tory Chancellor of
the Exchequer, to make an investigation. The
result is it is now stated that the new govern
ment has in its possession facts which prove that
there really had not been for years under the
Gladstone government, any adequate financial
supervision over the Admiralty Department.
Lord Northbrook, the First Lord of the Ad-
miralty under the Liberals, had such frequent
missions to Egypt and elsewhere that he was
prevented by absence from giving the necessary
attention to the financial affairs of the Ad-
miralty.

THE STRIKING LUMBERMEN.
All Quiet at Bay City-East Saginaw Mills
Shut Down-Attitude of Manufacturers.

BAY City, Mich, July 1.-THE city is quiet
and orderly this morning largo number of
strikers with band Of music, marched through
the principal streets this morning, and stopped
at the corner of Center and Water streets until
photographed by two different artists. A meet
ing of the milI-owners aud the committee of
strikers was held this morning The strikers
presented their demand for ten hours
day, full pay, and no man to be dis
charged because of connection with the strike
At the meeting between the committees from
the mill-owners and strikers, this afternoon, no
agreement was arrived at The mill-owners ex-
pressed their willingness to concede ten hours
day, but would submit to no dictation as to
whom they should employ or how much they
should pay The meeting closed without any
settlement of the difficulty. The strikers pro
ceeded to Madison Park and held an immense
meeting, addressed by D. G. Blinn, who urged
them to remain firm, but cautioned them to re-
win. Strikers then formed a procession with
two bands, and paraded the principal streets
with banners and flags, the bands playing the
death March, The mill men will hold another
meeting Monday morning, to discuss the situa-
ton. The report that several mill men express
determination to start on Monday with ten hours
and full pay, is denied by the mill men.
At East Saginaw the strikers met at c. Merrill
81 Co. mill, this morning and proceeded down
the river to Milwaukee closing all mills that had
not previously shut down. Since noon the only
mills running are those of the Saginaw Salt and
Lumber Company, at Crow island and Jesse
Hoyts, and both are now being visited. The
manufacturers have taken nc steps whatever
toward an adjustment of the matter and appear
wholly indifferent. One or two are anxious to
run, but with these exceptions they
propose to be idle a week or two,
at least, if not longer. But very few of the mill
operatives at East Saginaw have joined the strik-
ers, in fact. not over 6 per cent The Tltta-
bawassee Boom COmpanys mills shut down, and
rafting and delivering of logs tonight will be
stopped until the mills start up again. The feel
ing among mill men against State Representa-
tive Barry, who has assumed the leadership of
the strikers at East Saginaw, is very bitter.
Many Of the mill men declare they will not,
under any circumstances, accede to the demand
of the strikers.
All the mills and salt works on the river are
now idle, having been closed down by the strik-
ers where they had not previously done so.
At the Warner & Eastman salt
works this afternoon the strikers
assaulted two employees, coored men, named
George and Charles Davis, both of whom were
seriously injured. No other acts of violence have
been reported, and the situation is now quiet.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
The Globe Democrat received yesterday, by
special cable from London, dispatch of about
six thousand words, containing in full the articles
from the Pail Mall Gazette which have made
such great sensation throughout England
Such was the nature Of the matter however
that we were unwilling to spread it before our
readers il. its disgusting detail and it ad-
mitted of no condensation or partial publica-
ton. It's principal effect upon us was to
create wonder why the editor of any
decent newspaper should think of printing such
a vile monotony of nastiness, and justify himself
to himself for doing it. However, as our con-
Germ is for the Globe Democrat and its readers
and not for the Pail Mall Gazette and its read
ers we concluded not to print the articles or any
part of them, but to charge the heavy bic bills
to the profit and loss account Of that enterprisng
journalism of which the Globe Democrat is, aud
will continue to be, one of the best opponents.
We have heretofore found sufficient fields for
enterprise within the limits Of decency, and we
propose to fight it out on that line

from Madrid put quite new light upon the
heroic visit of King Alfonso to the cholera
stricken suburb of Arapjuez the I'd inst. The
King had previously expressed his intention Of
visiting Murcia, which was then the worst in
fected place in Spain, in order to investigate
the measures for the relief of the victims, to
cheer the sufferers by his royal presence, and
to aid the survivors by aims from the royal
purse The Cabinet holly opposed the pro
iected visit, saying that the Kings own
health was so delicate that he would probably
succumb TO the shock of witnessing the horrors
of the plague, leaving his faithful subjects desc
late. So intense was the opposition of the Minis
ters that they all resigned, declaring that they
could not take the responsibility of administer
ing the government in view of the probable
removal Of the King. The latter finally yielded
TO their solicitation and gave up the projected
visit. bat he had already been extolled by the
JoyaIists as almost martyr In conse-

grain laden Canadian vessels. The American
vessels will be cleared under special manifest

the future in American bottoms.
