Sullivan Says He VIII Fight.

NEW YORK, June 22.-The great
John L. Sullivan has decided to come
TO his country's rescue. No longer can
he suffer the humiliation of seeing the
colors of foreign pugilists waved aloft
on his native soil. He has authorized
james Wakely Of this city and Charles
johnson of Brooklyn, two Of his former
hackers, to match him against Frank
Slavin, the Australian. The conditions
he names call for ten rounds Queens
bury rules, $40 900 side in stakes,
winner to take all, and the match to
be contested before the athletic club
which offers the largest purse.
These stipulations were included in
a telegram which he sent from San
JOSE Cal, to James Wakely. Slavin
will rooaoiy accept. He promises to
return from England III fourteen
months, and the champion, by that
time, will have concluded his Austria
liam engagement and will be ready TO
60 into training.
Of all the men who saw the contest
between Slavin ana kilrain on Tuesday
night none watched IL with greater
interest than did james Wakeley and
Charles Johnson, who furnished good
part OF Sullivan's $40, 900 stake in his
fight with kilrain at Richburg. They
are both good judges of the sport and
are convinced that had Sullivan been
in the Baltimorean's place there would
have been three heartbroken passen-
gers in one OF the big ocean steamers
which will sail for Europe on Saturday
Paddy Slavin, Charley Mitchell and
George Washington Moore. Wakely
and Johnston are ready to match the
phenomenal American pugilist against
kilrain's latest conqueror for $40, 900
a side.
Ii this proposition meets with favor
in the eyes OF Slavin, the match, which
will be the most important pugilistic
event in the history OF the ring, can
be made at once. Slavin will leave
San Francisco for Australia June %.
Both can depart from this country
matched to battle for the worlds cham
pionship and the largest amount of,
money ever fought for in this or any
other country. Wakely and Johnston
will meet the big Australian at any
hour the latter may name to-day or to-
morrow to post Il forfeit and sign pre-
limindrV articles.

Fell From - Balloon.

PARIS. June pa balloon contain
ing a professional aeronaut named
Francoeur and two other persons made
an ascent from La Villette, the aerial
venture being watched by crowds OF
people.
When the balloon had reached
height OF not more than sixty feet the
aeronaut who had been engaged about
the outside OF the car, was seen to sud
denly lose his balance. make Il des-
perate effort to regain it. and then fall
whirling to the earth. He was picked
up so terribly injured that it is said
there is no prospect OF saving mis- life.
In the meanwhile the balloon and
its two remaining occupants, both OF
whom were utterly ignorant Of the
manner in which d balloon is handled.

air, growing smaller ana smaller un-

To Discuss Financial Matters.

WAsHINGToN. June 22.-Prior to
the departure OF the president he issued
a call for a cabinet meeting for Friday
June 26. Secretary Foster will return
in time to attend this meeting as he
announced previous to leaving that it
was imperative that he should be here
at that time. 1t is understood that
financial matters will engage the atten-
tion of the cabinet meeting, among
others n continued coinage OF silver
bullion, the final disposition Of the
question of extending the 4! per cent
bonds and to change the asset and liza
ability statement issued by the treasury
department daily and monthly. Quite
a number of changes of minor char

United States Treasurer.s Statement.
WASHINGTON, June 2O.-The treas
I.rer's statement shows net cash bal
Rnce of but 81, 1885, 900, which is the
lowest figure yet reached. 1t is said
that the treasurer's statement to be is
sued at once, will show deficiency of
5000, 900 instead of the usual net cash
balance. This is the first time this has
occurred since the present form Of
statement was adopted by Treasurer
Jordan. In making this calculation.
however, no account is taken of the
% OO0, 900 deposited in national banks
ind the $40, 600, 600 millions fraction
ii silver in the treasury. The eXpend-
lures so far this month have been
), 1SS S23 in excess OF the entire rev.
snues Of the government during the
iane period, amounting to SIS, 22l,
,52. These were exceeded by the PEN
iion payments alone, which amounted
20 $lS, 81, l55.
Treasury officials say that the ex-
penditures during the remainder OF the
month will be light and that the re-
:eipts will be sufficiently heavy to
overcome the present excess of eX-
renditures and leave a small surplus
IDr the month. The same officials say
hat the treasurer's statement will not
l!clude the receipts during the past
lSo days. and that if it does an actual
lurplus of 81 600, 0Q0 would be shown
Instead OF an apparent deficiency.

Finances OF thu Nation.

NEW YORK, June 2O.-The statement
! of the United States TREASURY shows a
| cash balance Of $43, O61, 264 20, OF
which S23, 627, 411.9S is the balance in
national banks and $50, 220, 960.S6
| fractional silver and minor coin, show
ing after Geducting these items, an
| apparent overdrait OF $7S7, los. o..
The receipts during the month up to
date being SIC, 2S4. O36. Sc; expendi-
turcs, S25, 29S l65. 9S; other items OF
paiG interest, checks and other public
debt payments making the difference
between the receipts and expenditures.
Yet this does not show the exact con-
dition Of the United States treasury.
There is no deficit.
TO make it thoroughly ineligible
to the public it must be stated that the
treasurers accounts are always two to
three days behind the actual receipts
OF the treasury as shown by the books
OF the secretary Of the treasury. The
receipts OF the departments all over
the country are known up to Gate by
the secretary. and often during the
month the treasurers daily report is
twenty-four to thirty-siX hours behind
the secretary's receip This is also
so in regard to expenditures. War
rants are drawn by the secretary w which
naturally in the course o. business re-
Ouire time to reach the treasurers
Office. In this way often during the
middle or end Of the month the treas
urers report is behind in expenditures
as well us receipts, but by the END OF
the month it is caught up and on the
first Of each month the secretary ana
treasurers statement agree. For in
stance the treasurer's report today
shows receipts up to date $1G, 2S4.
036.36, expenditures $50, 29S, 1853. 9S,
which overdraws the cash balance,
after deducting deposits in national
coins, of S7S7, 1070 o..
On the other hand take the state
ment Of actual receipts and expendi-
lures up to date as shown oy the sec
retary's books today: Balance on hand
June /, $40, 13S, 600; receipts up to
June Is, is, 222, 900; receipts on yes
terday, June 19, sS63, 600; total $40
225, 900. Payments up to the close of
the DAY yesterday, June 19, S26, 311,-
600, (this includes over SIS, 900, 900
pensions), leaving an available bal
ance of 81, S12, 900 outside Of deposits
in banks which are as much available
as in the vaults OF the treasury. This
amounts to S25. .00O,0 900, 1t is worthy
OF special notice in this connection to
call attention 10 the fact that most
pension payments just made are marked
special to hurry them through for
those needing the money, thus making
them appear in the treasurers state
ment several days earlier than they
otherwise would have done.
Another point is that the secreta-
rvs statement includes internal reve-
nue. receipts for this week up to date,
while the treasurer's statement has not
yet taken up the entire revenue re-
ceipts for the week ending June 13.
The reason is that the treasurer gets
his receipts by transcripts of accounts
current from national banks four times
each month, about every Saturday, the
period ending that day unless the end
of the month runs over day or SO
into the next week, while the secreta-

PLATE GLASS CONFERENCE.

Jobbers and Makers VIII Discuss the Sched-
ule of Rates-Assurance That Prices
Won't Be Advanced-News of the Indus
trial World.
The spring conference Of plate glass man
ufacturers and jobbers will be held at the
Duquesne to-day. The object is to talk
over the trade, and revise the schedule of
prices. though they all declare that rates will
not be advanced. Mr.. Loeffler was as sphinx
like as ever yesterday, and little information
could be obtained from him. E. 8. Sherburne,
OF Boston, is President of the Jobbers' Associ-
alton. A number of makers and dealers ar
rived in the morning, and preliminary gath
ering was held to discuss the situation. The
balance of the jobbers came in last evening.
With the exception of the works of the Pitts
burg Plate Glass Company, the factories of the
country have not been working to their full
capacity, and the demand for glass at present
is very good. while the stocks are low. The
prospects of>the business for the summer are
very bright.
With the completion of the Charleroi plant
new champion enters the field. The 6rst
furnace was fired yesterday and another one
will be put in blast next week. Treasurer Neri
Newcomb says the factory will be ready to
make glass in four weeks, and the company has
NUMBER OF orders ahead. So far the new
concern has been ignored by the asso-
was sent to the company to be present at the
meeting. Mr.. Newcomb was delegated to go
as visitor, but without any authority to act
for the firm. The Charleroi people feel rather
will soon be held out. The other manufactur-
ers are sore because the Charleroi people re-
fused to sign an agreement about year ago
not to hire man who had been discharged
from another factory. At present there are
not enough skilled men in the country to sup
ply all the plants,

KEEPING UP APPEARANCES.

Chief Brown and Clerk Crosby Gray Hold a
Meeting in Common Council Chamber
to Award Printing Contracts-A Quorum
Present and Everything Peaceable.
If the Supreme Justices of the State could
have cast a glance into Common Council
chamber yesterday afternoon they would
have witnessed about the only humorous re-
suit of their wedding out of the Objectionable
features of the city government. Chief Brown
was there endeavoring to hold up his end of
the shattered wreck of the Department of
Awards.
The janitor had been previously notified to
throw open the doors of the Council chamber
preparatory to meeting of some Importance
to the welfare of the municipality The Chief
said that though the Supreme Court had
cast blighting glance at the Department of
Awards he did not propose TO dismiss the
formaities attending the previous sittings of
that defunct body, but would hold forth in the
Council chamber and dispose Of some awards
pertaining to his department
Accordingly at o'clock the Chief raped
his gavel on the Presidents desk and Chief
Clerk Crosby Gray came TO order. The light
had been ordered turned on making the great,
gloomy corners of the room look less for
midable, At this point Controller Morrow en-.
tered the room and walked up to the Chair
mans desk, his footsteps echoing among
the long rows of empty desks He brought the
bids of three firms for the printing and bind
ing of the annual report of the Department of
Public Safety. The Chair looked appealingiy
at the CoNroIler as il he wished him TO stay,
but he only smiled, turned on his heel and
marched slowly out of the room, whistling
softly:
'.He is captain, mate and bosun, too."
81 believe we have a quorum" said the Chair.
Il believe So" replied the clerk
The Chair then announced that owing to the
decision of Supreme Court the Department of
Awards no longer existed. and the meeting had
been called to act on some printing contracts
for the Department of Public Safety. and
closed by stating: IF there are no objections
we will open the bids"
Clerk Gray cast his eye over the great bare

THE MORNING SESSION.

Report of the Scale Committee in Relation
Introduces the Eight-Hour Question
First Display of Oratory.
At the morning session of the miners
conference the Scale Committee reported,
recommending that the base scale be fixed
so and SO cents for screened coal in the Pitts
burg and Ohio districts, respectively. This
was the parliamentary manner of settling the
ditferential rate of cents, which shall prevail
during the next scale year in favor of Ohio.
The report was adopted, thus confirming the
pred C 4 - of The DISPATCH of few days ago.
Itwa3 isrther agreed to recommIt the scale
to the ScsIe Committee for amendments as to
the prices o. mining deaGwork and all other
items pertain ms thereto, and that additions of
two members from each delegation be added
to the committee. These additions were: For
the Ohio mine-s, job b. Rae and John
Nugent; for the Pennsylvania miners, Nc
Laughlin and McQ Quaide; for the Ohio oper-
ators, H. L. Chapman and c. L. Posten; for the
Pennsylvania operators, Francis L. Robbins
and w. j. Scully.
Vice Presi cent PeLna then asked for the
committee to consider the eight-hour question,
but the motion was lost. Colonel Rend F. l..
Robbins and Colone. j. L. Morton took part in
the remarks for the Op rators opposing the
discussion of the matter under any consider
alton. MIR. Rae, however, said it would be use-
less to arrange a scale and then split on the
eight hours, and appealed to the operators to
settle it first.
Colonel ]. L. Morton, of Columbus, indorsed
Mr.. Raes sentiments. He said: Il believe the
question brought up by Mr.. Penna is the most
important ever brought before a convention of
this kind. 1t is good idea to hear this matter
before the scale committee goes out Since the
eight-hour question is paramount TO every
thing else, hear it out first, otherwise the con-
sideration of scale questions would be waste OF
time no matter what scale might be promul-
gated"
Accordingly an adjournment was ordered un-
Ill o'clock The operators met in room 2s
and after listening TO Colonel Rend's argument
in favor of settling the fight before taking up
the scale, they decided on this plan.
