PARLIAMENT.
GOSchen'S Information on the Finances.
Smith Accused OF Hurrying Legislation
ON His Bill

LONDON, April IS.
In the House of Commons this evening,
Goschen announced that the total amount of
consois converted now was 1913 900 900,
leaving $4,000 900, most of which was in
the hands of trustees. There was still time
TO apply for their conversion.
A motion by Smith that the county gov
ernment bill be given precedence over pri-
yate members bills, was indignantly protest
ed against by Labouchere, who said that
smith had played an astute game and was
hnrrying his bill TO prevent the House from
taking time to consider its merits.
Smith denied that he desired to shorten
the discussion. The magnitude of the bill
was such that the government would be re-
miss in its duty if it failed to take every
chance to forward the measure
Smiths motion was carried by a vote Of
243 to l+3.

some form of malarial or typhoid
fever. If, however, the patient has
the wisdom to take some reliable
remedy that gently acts on the slug

carry off all impurities, while at the
same time the system is vitalized and
