the favor is given, both on the ground

This information would seem to show
that Osman Digna was only fibbing
when he claimed to have captured
Emin on the 10th of October. This
report contains no assurance of the
safety of Stanley, but the noted eX-

There are some things about the
presidential succession that are not
generally known. These are stated
by the Philadelphia North american
eff General Harrison should die pre-
vious to the assembling of the Elec-
toral College, then some one else
would be chosen, not necessarily Mr.
Morton. If General Harrison should
die after the meeting of the Electoral
College, then Mr.. Morton would be-
come president. In case of the death
of both Harrison and Morton after
the meeting of the electors, and be-
fore the 4th of March, the electors
might reassemble, or the house of
representatives could elect a presl-
dent and vice president. In the case
of the death of Harrison and Morton
after the 4th of March, the secretary
of state would act as president, and
after him the secretary of the treas
ury, and so on through the cabinet"
1t is generally agreed that the
prospects for continued peace in
Europe are on the whole better now
than they were a year ago. Bulga-
rian affairs are no longer chief sub
iect of discussion, and the troubles
in Servia, which for time threaten
ed Russian interference, appear to be
diving out. But there is no propect
of the dimunition of what are prac-
tically war burdens upon the people.
The London correspondent of the
New York Times states that since
1872 about 81, 800, ,00O,0 have been
expended on military preparation by
continental powers, and that the to-
tai war strength of these powers has
risen from 6,142, ZOO to 1O,4S0,00
men. And the worst of it is that
from this state of affairs there
appears to be no immediate prospect
of relief. Disarmament is most de-
sirable in the abstract; but which ma
ton shall make the concrete effort to
bring it about? However long peace
may last, it is probable that only an
actual conflict can solve the vexing
problem in the end.

graves Record overlauied.
LONDON, March o2.-Tn the house Of
commons when the vote on the salary OF
the CHEF secretary for ireland. lBalfonr,
was reached. Mr.. John Morley made q
speech in which he severely criticised
the governments action in carrying on
furthera clandestine battle behind their
opponents back. SIr. Charles BradIaugh
uiberaD move a reduction Of the salary
b. e5co. The motion was rejected, 272
TO ell.
During tie debate Mr.. Morley. pro-
duced details from the proceedings Of
the trial with a view to disproying the
governments professions Of neutrality
between The Times and the accused. He
predicted that vote Of censure was not
FAR distant.
air Balf0ur declared that the charge
that the government was connected with
The Times case either through Houston
or Pigott was q scandalous libel.
Mr. Bradlaugh asserted so FAR from be-
ing impartial, the government had with
held from the accused matters which
were material 70 their defense.
The debate was continued amid great
disorder Messrs. Healy, O'Conpor, Bal
four and Harcourt delivering more or
less heated speeches. Mr.. BaIfouT
taunted the Parnellitcs with letting
pig0st escape after his confession. Mr..
O'Conner was called to order by the
speaker for charging that lord Salisbury
and Dir. Balfour very trying to galvan-
ize the fofgeries into renewed life. Mr..
0'connor also alleged that The Times
and the government We're equally guilty
of permitting Pigott to escape.
Interest Just now centers in tile ques-
fi0ns asked ia the house OF commons of
the government regarding the suspension
Of Capt. Seagrave, of Mitchelstown fame.
It seems that this valiant slaughterer Of
defenseless peasants was cashiered from
the British army at th6 Cope of Good
Hope in 1868. The PafnelI have only
recently gnthpld az tia lyn0sl and
have forced The nDveffAllent to n1ake In
quiries into the captains record, with
flae result Of establishing the truth of the
charge against him. This is a great Pr
nellite hit and they score ON Mr.. Bal
four 1t viii be rather embarrassing for
the government to explain the appoint
ment of Seagrave as an officer of the
Irish constabulary with such a record.
It is with great difficulty that questions
are formulated so as to draw damaging
admissions from the government, as the
ministers, whose wits have been sharp
encd by frequent encounter, are ready to
las hold on the slightest technical flaw
and Use Ii to their advantage.

HE FLED FROM JUSTICE
Treasurer of Riley County,
 Kansas, in Canada.
CAUSES GENERAL SURPRISE
A Shortage In His Accounts Which It Is Said VIII Amount to o35, OOO---His Flight Hsstened by the Elcc-
 ton of Ills Successor.

TOPEKA. kas., November 12.-Informa- tion has reached the State authorities of the disappearance of James N. Fortner, Treasurer of Riley County. with the an- nounccment that there is shortage of $35,- GOO in his accounts. It was first made pub. lie in Manhattan yesterday, when George S. Green, leading attorney and counsel for County Treasurer James NJ. Fortner. called upon the County Commissioners and other officia's and announced that he had received letter from Fortner that he was at Windsor, Canada, and proposed to stay there unless the Canadian cxtradition laws should force him to return as prisoner.
 Fortner left Manhattan November $, os- tensibly to go east on business for ths county, but in his letter he stated that he had taken the most direct route to Canada, SO as to be out of the reach of officers when his successor should come to make m ex- amination of the county treasury. Nothing is known positively as to tho exact amount Of the defalcation. as the safe must be broken open and expert accountants must examine the books carefully. Fortncr was not known to be . speculator, and what he did with the money of tho people no one can understand. His bondsmen are ter ribly worked up over the matter, as they arc under bond of si50.0oo, His books show shortage of nearly s350o0
 Tho flight of tho County Treasurer was undoubtedly taken as a result of the cleo tion, a now man, also a Republican, being chosen his successor
