The appropriation bill is expected to'be re-
ported early in the week but will not be
called for action until the silver question has
been disposed OF. If the finance committee can
find suitable opportunity the tariff bill will be
taken up in committee for consideration so
that an early report may be made thereon to the
senate, but as the members of that committee
or less interested in the silver debate it is
doubtful If any progress viii be made on the
tariff until after the silver bill is out Of the
way.
The first three days of the week in the house
viii be the closing scenes on the tariff debate,
which promise to become more animated as the
end draws near. 1t is the present intention of
the ways and means committee to report the bill
from the committee of the whole to the house
Wednesday, when yea and nay votes depending
on the number of amendments made to the bill
will be in order. The wool sections are to be
the subjects Of attack in this way,
and altogether the proceedings prom
Use to consume considerable time unless
q special rule is reported from the committee on
rules to hasten the conclusion.
The election committee intends to call up the
Alabama contested election case of McDufae VS..
Turpin, Immediately after the tariff bill is dis
posed of and bitter resistances are apt to be
developed.
The river and harbor people are also waiting
their first opportunity to call up their appropri-
alton bill and get it through the house.

Leopold's real reason for visiting London at
this time was that he desired personal assur-
ance from Lord Salisbury that England would
guarantee Belgium neutral position IN case OF
FRANCO GERMAN WAR.
An interv ew was given accordingly and the de-
sired assurance was given. There is no doubt
that England would go to any length re-
quired in order to prevent such an increase
of German territory and power as would be in
volved in the acquisition of either Belgium or
Holland, toward both of which countries Ger
man statesmen sre sus pected of constantly cast
ing greedy eyes.
The recent meeting Of Lord Salisbury and
Gladstone at dinner at the Grand hotel was
furthermore arranged for the purpose Of max

THE GRAND OLD MAN.
Gladstone, after his speech at Lowestoft last
evening, remained in town over night, being
entertained at the residence of one of his per-
sonal friends and admirers; To-day, as is his
invariable custom, he attended church, and his
presence had the effect of crowding the church
with worshipers and spectators. Upon emerging
from the church after services Gladstone found
a large crowd outside waiting to see and greet
him, and he had to submit to an enthusiastic
though decorously quiet impromptu reception.

The Scarcity OF Money.

There is again great stringency in the
money market in New York and appeals are
being made to the Secretary of the Treasury
to come once more to the relief of the gentle
men of Wall street, by buying Government
bonds before they are due, paying the inter-
est in advance also. The cause of this scar
city of money, 1t is said, grows out of the re-
cent money disturbance in London, the con-
traction of business caused by the increase of
prices by the Mckinley tariff, and the loss of
confidence in business circles. The latter is
due, in great degree, doubtless, to the fear
of reckless legislation by Congress which
may cause turmoil and excitement in the
country. The effect of this loss of confidence
is illustrated, according to the Baltimore San,
by the comments of a New York banker on
the situation at is not 80 much money
that we need" he said, "but confidence in
paper. We have all the money we ever had.
The trouble Is here: In this country, as in
other countries, business men carry on their
business with 30 per cent. of paper, and sell
dom more than 10 per cent. cash. So long
as the people have confidence in paper this is
all right. Destroy confidence, and at once
80 per cent. cash and 10 per cent. paper is
the rule, and then comes the stringency.
Restore confidence and things will take care
of themselves"

measures feet from tip to tip of its wings.
1t probably followed the wild geese and ducks
from Canada, as such fowls are its natural prey.
