PARNELL's BIG STAKE.
The Inquiry May Last for Years ana
Ruin Him Financially.


LONDON, Aug. 20--Mr. Gladstone, in ad-
dressing deputation of liberals Of Bourse-
lem, who had presented him with vase,
said the government had treated MIR. Far
nell with gross inequality in refusing TO
allow an inquiry into the Times charges
against him by select committee OF the
house of commons. The charges against Mr..
Parnell, he said, would, IL proved, destroy
everything he valued-political power and
posltion-but he was going to be tried ON
general charges. Mr.. Gladstone declared
Unat he would never believe Mr.. Parnell
guilty of personal dishonor. Tho inquiry,
he said, might last for years. which would
mean peouniary ruin for Mr. Parnell.
The expense to the Times would be a
mere flea bite.
SURE TO GET JUSTICE IN SCOTLAND.
Regarding the action brought in Edin-
burgh by Mr.. Parnell against tho Times, he
said Mr.. Parnell would be certain to get
justice II the letters were forged he might
get substantial damages, but "a special clause
in the commission bill indemuified the
Times IL the charges were not made good.
That was u specimen of the governments
sense of equality.
FURTHER PROOFS OF uNFAIRNEss.
In conclusion he referred to the Ridley
and Vaudeville inquests as further proofs
OF the unfairness of the government. Tho
treatment of political prisoners in Ireland
he declared to be abominable. 1t was all
very well to say that the government was
responsible, and every man having vote
and not using is against this system was re-
sponsible. He appealed to the electors not
10 depend solely upon their united efforts,
but to devote their undivided energies to
restore order in Ireland and give real unity
to the empire. TCheers.]

tutions.
tThe bill increases the maximum number
of officers who may be selected from forty
to fiftyl
The motion was opposed, discussion arose
and the bill was finally withdrawn for the
present because OF a failure to secure a quo
rum, and the house resumed consideration
of the Chinese bill
The debate was wholly political and
largely upon the same line OF that Of Satur-
day relative TO the position Of the two
political parties in the past and present,
upon the subject Of Chinese immigration
and the record Of Gen. Harrison upon vari-
Gus measures which have been before the
senate relating to restriction Of such immi-
grafton. The speakers were Messrs Hit Of
Illinois, McKenna Morrow, Vandever and
Thompson of California, Herman of Ore
gon, Dingley Of Maine, Bynum Of Indiana
and Cannon and Hopkins OF Illinois.

only upon ratification of the pending

BANKS NOT HARD UP.
Refugees Indignant over Delays-A
Rush for Free Food.
d. -aaxI

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Aug. 2O.-Two
new cases of yellow fever were reported to
the board of health to-day and one death
only, that of j. NJ. Minton. at the Sand
Hills. There are several suspicious cases
which are expected to be better defined by
tomorrow. More vigorous measures will
be taken for the segregation Of patients and
suspects.
The reports sent out of financial strin-
gency in the local banks are erroneous All
the leading banks are well supplied.
Greely's bank, which posted sixty days
notice on account Of a run on its savings
department by refugees, has resumed.
The business of the city is light, owing to
the stringency of the Quarantines, but is
going on as usual.
BI-CHLORIDE OF MERCURY.
A thousand pounds of bi-chloride of mer
curry is to be used by the city for disinfect-
ing.
There has been no artillery firing tonight
on account of the scarcity of primers, and
conclusion will probably be abandoned.
The situation looks more grave, owing 20
the failure of the authorities to segregate
patients promptly and efectually and
TO prevent the formulation OF new centers
of infection.
Col. J. J. Daniel, president of the sani-
tary association, will to-day organize a
sanitary police He once saved the city
from al epidemic of smallpox, and much
confidence is placed in him. He will de-
populate the Infected parts of the city.
RUSH FOR sUoCoR.
Having heard that the government had
sent $200. 900 for distribution among the
people OF tie infected district, some per-
sons came to the city to-day from 100 miles
south of here to receive part Of the amount.
Many of them were very insulting to the
relief committee when told that there was
nothing for them, and only food for the actual
sufferers in the city, and would not believe
that no government money had been re-
ceived.
The outgoing newspaper mail is now fu-
migated here.
REFUGEES RETURNING.
Some of the refugees have returned from
Waycross indignant at the delay in fumi-
eating their baggage there. They say that
their baggage will probably be two weeks
in passing the station.
Much complaint exists because some ply
sicians do not report suspicious cases
promptly. They will probably be prose-
cuted.
Five patients are to be discharged to-mor-
row.
Superintendent Dillon of the Western
Union telegraph company has been dis
charged, and has gone to Upper Georgia to
recuperate.

No mails were received from New Orleans
to-day. Telegraphio communication be-
tween here and there Is also interrupted.
In the absence of any information, it is sup
posed that the interruption of the mail and
telegraph is due to the effects of the storm.

UNCLE SANS BALANCE.
The Revenues for Next Year $17,7o4,-
ala Above the Expenditures.

213 Above the Expenditures.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2o.-On Aug. Is the
clerks of the house and senate committees
on appropriations, acting together and in
accordance with annual custom, prepared a
statement of the exact condition Of the ap-
preparation bills at that time, comparing
them with the aggregates of the previous
fiscal year, and their total with the estinla-
ted revenues for the current fiscal year.
They make the following showing of the
condition at the time named:
The regular annual appropriation bills
for this year carry appropriations aggre-
eating $2SS. .764. .82S.
The deficiency appropriations aggregate
1922. 1888.
Miscellaneous, including public buildings
and everything not included in the sundry
civil, amount to IS, ,638, 100.
The permanent annual appropriations
amount to $115, GAO. .79S.
THE TOTAL.
This makes the grand total of the appro-
priabions s42S, 269, $50. This is an excess
over last years appropriations of $64, ,054,-
730.
The total estimated revenues for 1889, in
cluding postal receipts, is s440, ,56S, ,734, which
is s12, ,294, ,213 more than is shown by the
above statement of ap preparations.
Ofthe appropriation bills which 60 to make
up the grand total the navy and sundry civil
bills were in conference, aud the fortifca-
tions and general deficiency bills were be
fore the house. tHse4
Since Aug. Is the fortification bill has
been passed by the house, its appropriation
having been reduced by s2.5J0,0O0 below
the amount which was figured in the above
statement. There is also an item of
$4,000, 900 which appears both in the army
bill and the Notifications bill, which win be
taken out of one. a
THE EXCESS OF REVENUE.
It therefore appears that SO far as this
preliminary statement can be taken as a
criterion of the ultimate results that about
S5, ,5OO, 900 added to $12, ,294 ,213 of the excess
estimated receipts over the expenditures
will give the probable surplus for the next
fiscal year.
There are number of public building
bills in conference, the action upon which
may either reduce or augment these fea-
lures. The clerks in their calculations, of
course, took no account of the accumulated
surplus in the treasury.

MRS. HOWE KILLED.
KILLED NEAR BROOKLYN BRIDGE


The Dead Man Unknown-The Crime
Committed in Broad Daylight.
New YORK, Aug 20.-A mysterious muir
der occurred about 4 o'clock this afternoon
on the stairs leading to building on the
north side of the entrance to the Brooklyn
bridge. Many persons were passing by at
the time, and tho unknown murderer, with
his revolver in his hand, edged through the
crowd, dropped his revolver about 80 feet
away, and escaped. The dead man, whose
name is also unknown, was shot in the
head, SO that his left eye was forced from
its socket.
UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF LIQUOR.
1t seems he was sitting on the steps at the
time he was shot, and was probably under
the Influence Of liquor. He was instantly
killed. There was nothing on his person to
identify him. Upon a description given
of the murderer by newsboy and a
couple of newspaper reporters, a printer Of
Brooklyn, named Bernard Manning, has
been arrested on suspicion. Manning re-
fuses to talk. He will neither deny the
crime nor confess 1t.

SIOUX STILL STUBBORN.
Sitting Bull and Red Cloud Refuse :
be Converted.

De converted.
BISMARCK, DAH., AnN. 20.--A messenger
from the Standing Rock agency brings in
formation that the Sioux commissioners
are still there holding on with tenacity.
During the last fortnight nothing worthy
of note has transpired. The commission is
taking things quite easy, probably in the
hope that the Indians will be subdued by
taelr persistence. To-day is ration day for
the Indians, and the commission hopes To
make a favorable impression npon the
minds of the 81 lux. Trustworthy informa-
ton shows, however, that the Indians have
not the least idea OF signing the treaty, and
that the commissioners will meet with
similar results at the lower agencies.
SITTING BULL sULLEN.
Sitting Bull cuts no conspicuous figure at
this great pow-wow. He is sullen and do
fiant, and has nothing to say whatever.
His jealousy of Chief Gall is daily becoming
more pronounced, and 1T is feared that q
serious turn in affairs will be the result. In
the special dispatches sent out during the
last conference the statement was made
that Judge Wright of the commission, in
addressing the Indians, told them that they
must sign or the government would take
their lands without compensation and en-
ploy soldiers TO scatter the red men among
the reservations in different parts of the
west.
MADE NO THREAT.
The fact is that Judge Wright did not
use this language, and In Justice TO him
this explanation should be made He posi-
lively made no assertion which would in
any particular convey the above meaning.
He has made no threats at any time 70 the
Indians, but has simply warned them Of
what he believed to be the folly of refusing

aat matter under consideration to-day was a

Americas asking that the quarantine be

edly too dangerous. The company will

TWO MURDER MYSTERIES
A WOMAN SHOT DEAD BY POACH-
ERS IN AMBUSH.

She Was Out on a Pleasure Sail With
Her Husband ard Children When
the Shot Was Fired-The Supposed
Murderers Had Been Ordered to
Stop Fishing.
CALAIS, Me-, Aug. 20.--The fishing
ground on Tobique river, near Andover,
was the scene of murder Sunday morning.
On Saturday several men, supposed to be-
long to the vicinity, were found fishing on
grounds owned by private persons, one of
whom is Maj. Howe of Philadelphia, form
ery Of Boston, who about month ago
started with his family on a salmon fishing
trip to the waters of the Tobique river.
ORDERED OFF THE GROUNDS.
The major ordered tho intruders Off of
the grounds, and after some angry words,
hls orders were sulleDly obeyed. Maj.
Howe camped that night at Galquac. On
Sunday morning the major, his wife, four
children and three Indian guides were en-
joying sale on the river near that place
when they were fired upon by parties in
ambush on shore. The first shots passed
over without injury. Maj. Howe at once
directed his wife and children to lie down
in the boat.
MRS. HOWE KILLED.
Before his directions could be obeyed O
bullet entered Mrs. Howe's left temple and
came out back of her right ear. She dropped
without a sound, and Maj. Howe did not
know she was dead until after the firing
ceased. About ten shots were fired. Ma ].
Howe and his children reached Andover
last night with the body of the murdered
woman. All were completely prostrated
with grief. The major had casket sent
