A Splendid Showing For the Management
of Her Majesty's Affairs.
LONDON, March 26-Mr. G0schen, the
chancellor of the exchequer, introduced the
budget in the house of commons this even
ing. The total expenditure for the current
year had been eS7 AZ, 900, showing saw
ing of e423,0oO on the budget esti mate and
of e612,0OO over the preceding year. The
revenue also presented satisfactory ac-
count. The total was e89,589,OOO, being
G1,4A 900 more than the estimate. The
total increase in revenue had been 100000
from spirits and e1,12O,OOO from stamps
and succession duties over last year. The
excess of revenue over the estimate added
to the saving of expenditures gave total
realized surplus Of e2, 10000, the greatest
since 1874. Coming to the national debt,
they had decreased their liabilities during
the year by $780, 900, the largest sum paid
off during any year since 1872. Dealing
next with the estimates for the coming
year, he said it was calculated that the
total expenditure would be e8691O,OOO, a
decrease of e512,000 as compared with the
present year. The revenue as estimated
would be e89167,000, giving surplus of
600 over the expenditure.

Evidently Murdered.

ST. PAUL, March 26.-The remains Of the
unknown man found at Inner Grove Satur-
day night and which were supposed to be
those of fascott have been identified as
those of John G. McFeely, who until Feb
ruary 18th was a clerk for Taylor, Craig &
Co. of st. Paul. He left there saying he
was going to Minneapolis and would re-
turn the following Wednesday, but has not
been heard from since. It seems certain
that he was murdered for his money. His
body was stripped Of every article Of value.
his pockets rifled Of all papers, his diamond
ring torn from his finger and his lifeless
remains deposited in the brush in q lonely
locality, with the evident hope that they
would never be discovered and If found
would never be identified. A revolver was
placed blythe side Of the body to give the inn
preston of suicide. The faint tracing Of q
name that remained on the under side of
his collar was overlooked by his murderers
and has led to his identification. His home
was in Kearney, Canada. He has relatives
there.

A Sad Story of Poverty and Destitution
in the East.
MOUNT HOLLY, N. j., March 26.-A sad
case OF poverty and destitution has come to
light in the most respectable quarter of
Mount Holly. In neat residence the
three Misses Aaron and their sister, Mrs.
Wiegard, have lived in quiet way for a
number of years past. They are all
children of the late Samuel Aaron, who
was known forty years ago as one of the
educators OF his day and as gentleman of
rare intellectual attainments. At his death
he LETT small estate, part of which was
the house. in Mount Holly where his
daughters have since lived. Having but
small means, the latter lived economically.
Recently they have been seen but little by
day that one of the sisters, Mary Ann
Aaron, and Mrs. Weigard were dead. Then
the cause of the trouble was learned. The
women were literally starving. Another
OF the sieters is in very precari0us condi-
ton and it would not be surprising if she

stand to-day. He testified that soon after
the first of the disturbing articles appeared
in Welch's paper Villas rode by Welch's

ing him by the troat. Young Welch came
in and separated the two men, after which

THE PURCHASE OF BONDS.
The senate then considered the house
bill to provide for the purchase of United
States bonds by the secretary of the treas
ury. Mr.. Plumb offered an amendment in
the form of new section requiring the
secretary of the treasury whenever the
circulation of national bank is surren-
dered to issue treasury notes to an equal
amount. Mr.. Plumb said that while the
bill was proper one, it was as it stood
trifling with a very great question. The
bank note circulation was shrinking at the
rate Of SS0,OOO,O0Oa a year and under the
proposed bill would shrink $5O,OOO,OOO
year. Mr.. Sherman argued against the de-
lay in the passage of the bill by attachin g
amendments to it, and he therefore moved
to lay Mr.. Plumb's amendment on the
table. AS to the bill itself, he believed that
the language of the law of 1881 was
stronger, clearer and better. Still he was
willing to vote for it. because it would re-
lieve the government from the really dis
tressing condition of the finances. The
amendment was laid on the table-yeas
