for the liberal party whose object Is to break

Sooner or later" Gladstone is once reported
TO have said TO friend, chamberlain will
quarrel with his new allies. 1t is law Of
the mans nature that he must quarrel with
everybody. AT present his hatred OF me
keeps him bound to the conservatives, but he
will play them out bye and bye" The hour
Of Judgment seems, in Joseph's opinion, TO
have arrived At any rate the prelminaries
of n gepcril smash up may be arranged. So
he has begun in tempestuous and truly
characteristic letter to sneer and scold at the
conservative party. The hermit of Haw-
arden walking to church three times a day,
with peas in his shoes, watches all this out
of the corner of his eye.
If the bulk of the radicals will only for
give Joseph, and of course they will when it
suits them to do so (who ever heard of po-
litical animosity lasting after 1t was the in

would give him about half u dozen at most.

BRUSSELS April 20-TNew York Herald
Cable-Special to TIE BEE AS was pre-
dlcted from the first by the Herald's Brus-
sells correspondent, Belgium's hospitality to
Bouanger will be of short duration. Hear
ing of last Wednesdays meeting of the Bou-
langist committee at Brussels, the French
minister, Bouree, at the Belgian foreign
Office, intimated that the French republic
was astonished at the liberation shown by
Belgium towards Boulanger. Whereupon
the foreign Office sent one Of the officials to
the Hotel Mengelle to inform Boulanger that
the Belgian government would be obliged if
he could save them the painful necessity of
formally eXpelling him, either by spontas
neously leaving the country or by subsiding
into complete silence and isolation. Bou-
langer consulted Rochefort and other
friends and replied that he would
leave Belgium early next week. 1t
is believed he will go to London, via. Ant
werp or Ostend. While the Boulangist
organs have received instructions to put a
good face on the matter, / can assert that
Boulanger is terribly annoyed. Thanks to
the telephone, he could communicate from
Brussels with his Paris associates almost
every minute Through the medium Of the
Belgian papers printed in French, he could
constantly diffuse ideas and keep up noise
around his name. In London or elsewhere.
he will be separated from Paris by great
distance, and will be deprived of telephone
communication. His partisans feel that his
compulsory departure from here will be a
severe blow. The Belgian people were get
ting sick of him.

from the late Captain Schoonmaker, dated

calls the attention of the navy department
to the meritorious conduct of William
Fooye, n seaman. A man fell overheard on

under the counter in a heavy swell and sue
ceeded in clearing the line. On the same
morning Humphrey, orderly seaman of the
Vandalia, while working the anchors,
fell overheard. He could not swim and
would have undoubtedly drowned but for
the courage and presence of mind of Fooye,
who jumped overheard from the forecastle,
swan to him with rope and succeeded IN
getting him on board. The commander says:
"In view of these acts of efficiency and
humanity, / feel myself in duty bound to
call them to the attention of the depart
ment and ask that it will give such reward
to Fooye as in its wisdom will be right"

BANkERS PUZZLED.
Is April 80 to Be Observed AS a Legal
Holiday?

WASHINGTON, April 2O.-It has became
subject of inquiry of much Importance to
banking and mercantile interests whether
the ensuing 3Oth of April is such public or
legal holiday justifying the payment and
presenting of maturing notes, bill of ex-
change, ETC., on the next preceding or subse-
quent day. The late proclamation
of the president appoints n
thanksgiving There is no invocation
to thanksgiving further than is to be implied
necessarily from the preamble stating the
object of the proclamation. This is sufi-
cient, however, to characterize the day and
to fulfill the conditions of state statutes be-
fore referred to- There would seem to be
no reason for doubt but that bankers may
close their doors on that day as on Sundays in
particular states and the District of Columbia,
where the general laws contain the pro-
visions beforei mentioned. The question has
been presented to the solicitor Of the treas
ury with regard to national banks, and the
foregoing is in accord with his opinion, as
expressed to the comptroller of the currency.

Some by Mistake.
CHtcAeo April 2o.-[Special Telegram to
THE BEE. What is now called "a plundor
by some attache" Of the First National band
caused the officers of the Chicago s. Eastern
Illinois road to make sudden call upon
Vice President Lyman j. Gage and Cashier
Symonds this morning. The railroad COM
pany received $50, 900 from the bank during
the early part of the week to pay off their
employees, and among the amount t there was
a quantity of light gold The coin had been
received at the bank as bullion, had been
stamped with the letter 81" which signified
that it was light weight, and should have
been sent to the sub-treasury, preparatory to
having it shipped to Washington. But
by some mistake one or more bags Of this
light coin was handed over to A. S. Cullom
payEaster of the Eastern Illinois, and now
the employees at Danville, ILL.,, and other
places along the route are being heard from.
The pieces of gold were turned out all right
from the United States mint, but from long
use they have become light, and as they are
marked with an extremely large az" those
who received the currency were unable to
get full value for 1t, hence the kick from
the employees. AS soon as possible a Mail
reporter called on the superintendent,
the vice president and the paymaster. Those
gentlemen made haste to hunt up the bank
officials. Mr.. Gage and Mr.. Symonds as
sured the trio that the affair was a blunder
on the part of someone in the bank, and that
good coin would be exchanged for the
marked pieces. Mr. Cullom, therefore tele
graphed to all his agents along the line to
take up the light coin as fast as presented.
'The marked coin got into the hands of the
teller by mistake" explained Mr.. Gage,
land as fast as the coin is collected it will
be returned to the First National aud then
sent to the Sub-treasury -
