mand it, and charge one-half of same to tho
abutting property owners, S109, pa Is has been
expended, being divided among eighty-two

THE TREASURY FINANCES.
Secretary Foster Says There IL Money
Enough to Meet All Demands.


The amount Of ~ per cent bonds continued
at per cent to date is s2l 1885, ,150. and Secre-
tary Foster says that it was his impression that
the amount would run over $50. 900 600 before
the transaction closes. If his expectations are
realized there will be less than go, 900 600 of
the ~ per cent loan subject to redemption
after September 2. the limit within which it
must be presented for continuance. Secretary
Foster says that there will be no difficulty
whatever in meeting this payment, or larger
one if necessary, without recourse to the one
hundred d-million-dollar gold reserve and the
S17,OO0,0o0 on deposit with national banks.
The Secretary said that including $40, 200, 900
representing disbursing officers balances, out
standing checks, the national bank redemption
fund, DC, there is available balance of
100000 900, exclusive of the 'gold reserve" Of
500, 1000 900, and he regarded that as ample
to meet all current obligations Of the govern
redeemable in gold, if demanded, and there is
over 5000 900 of that coin in the treasury, in
addition to the "gold reserve" an amount In
itself more than sufficient to redeem all the AZ
per cents that will be outstanding September 2
The Secretary said also that he regarded the
amount of public funds in the hands of dis
bursting officers as greatly in excess of the needs
OF the service, and that he was considering a
plan whereby it may be greatly reduced. There
Is now, he said, a balance Of S35, 900 600 in the
hands of these officers, for a considerable por-
ton OF which there is no immediate need. and it
Is his opinion that this amount could be reduced
to about $50, 000, 900 and maintained at that fig
ure without embarrassment to public business.

The Department Of State is in receipt Of .
communication from Consul Bessinger, at
Beirut. transmitting brief notes on some means
Of destroying locusts as adopted in Arabia.
Two years experience and close observation
in that country, the consul says, appears to have
demonstrated the fact that locusts voraciousiy
deyour plant known as giant Iarkspur,' del
ephimum prigrium, and that the smallest quan-
tity proves fatal to them.
Another plant with which successful expert
ments for destroying locusts have been made is
the castor-oil plant or ''pahuna Christi which
seems to have proven an infallible destroyer Of
the insects.
As both Of the plants could easily be propa-
gated in many parts Of the United States, their
cultivation in years when locusts make their
appearance on lands near roads or along the
tracks that they are known to TAX would seem,
the consul thinks, to commend itself as OF the
utmost utility.

After . Stormy Night They Hoist Anchor to
Cross the Channel

PORTSMOUTH, Aug. 26.-At 9 o'clock this
morning, when each vessel Of the French fleet
hove up and Gated one Of the anchors they bad
been lying to and shortened in the remaining
cable. preparatory to getting under way for
Cherbourg, a stiffish gale was still making
matters lively off Spit Head.
While the ironclads were thus making prepa-
rations to leave English waters the French tor
pedo boats attached to the visiting squadron,
which had run into Portsmouth harbor last
night in order to avoid the shaking up which
they would otherwise have received
from the sea running off Spit Head, weighed
anchor and put out to sea, in order to rejoin
their larger and more seaworthy consorts. As
the torpedo boats left the harbor they were
loudly cheered and saluted on all sides.
In the course of time these wasp-like crafts
reached their positions under the lee of the
ironclads, and the entire French squadron
weighed anchor and proceeded westward in
seaman-like style. When the visiting
squadron was passing the British fleet
the blue jackets Of her majesty s
war ships manned the yards, while the
most hearty cheers we're exchanged between
each and every vessel of the two fleets as the
two visitors passed. Finally Admiral Gervais'
flag ship, the Marengo, fired parting salute,
which was promptly answered by the British
men-of-war assembled of Spit Head.

CErY OF MEXICO, August 26.-Telegrams

ing information Of the battle now being fought
between the congressionalists and Balmaceda
forces. The latest one states that the city Of
Valparaiso is completely surrounded BY
congrcssionalists, who are rapidly driving in

seventy-two hours and from the first, though
the army OF Balmaceda is nearly double that OF
the congressionalists the latter have been VIC
torious. From the present indication the fight
may continue several days. The con-
gressionaiists are expecting reinforcements.
The insurgent fleet is still harboring about
Quintero bay. The losses have been very
severe. The success SO far Of the COMPRESSION
alists has been due to the superiority of their
firearms, which are Remingtons and Winches-
ters, which were procured in the United States,
the Esmeralda having landed some 10000 on
her return to Chill. The Mexican. Central

THE GILLIAN CONSUL GENERAL.
A Change Made by Balmaceda Excites Som
Comment

Comment.
President Balmaceda Of Chill has Topped off
the official head Of his consul general in New
York, Mr.. Frederick Beelan, who has occupied
that position for the past twenty-six years,
and appointing in his stead Mr.. Charles
X. Flint, we'll known commission
merchant Of New York, who has large and ex-
tensive dealings with South America. This
change took place but recently and has leaked
out through some private correspondence. A
STAR reporter, who learned the fact this
morning, was assured that the selec-
ton Of Mr.. Flint an American in place of
Mr.. Beelan, native Chilian, is gratifying to
Senor Lascano, the Chilian minister here. Mr.
Beelan is charged with affiliation with the in
surgents, but this he denies emphatically. He
claims that he has always served his govern
ment faithfully, and that no act of his can be-
discerned that would show the least trace Of
treachery.
MIR. Flint has for many months, and indeed
throughout the war, acted as the confidential
agent OF Balmaceda in this country, and, it is
stated, by selling large quantities of guano, has
raised funds for his campaign, spending the
proceeds of his trades in arms and ammuni-
ton.
