Comptroller's Action.

BURLINGTON, Iowa, Sept. 3.-Judge Har-
Ian, presiding judge of the Court of Alabama
that the recent decision of the First Comp
troller of the Treasury, disallowing all the
minor expenses of the court, is not only in
conflict with the acts of Congress creating
the court and prescribing its duties and with
precedents in that and other courts, but that
it will, if sustained, result in unnecessarily
prolonging the work of the court and in
crease the aggregate expense.

England and America.

AT the cutters banquet at Sheffield this
evening, Mr.. Phelps replied to the toast the
cheered. He said he regarded the welcome
as an indication of a similar feeling through
out England toward America which was re
ciprocated and here-ech0ed the sentiments
of love, honor andldevotionIjust expressed to-
ward the Queen. He was glad the govern
ment had instituted an inquiry into the trade
depression which was equally existent in
America He thought the depression was
somewhat due to the haste to get rich, luxu-
rious living and flooding of the world with
goods that are not required, and hence do
not pay for their production. In conclusion
he said if any word of his should linger in
the English mind his first and last wish was
for continuation of brotherly feeling be-
tween the English speaking people of the
world whose peaceful dominance gave the
best hope for the enlargement of noble and
Christian civilization.
