LONDON. March There was an
other mutiny in the Tory camp yester-
day against Balfour's leadership. 1t
came as a sequel to Chamberlain's let
ter to the Times yesterday character
izing the Government proposal to sus-
pend the midnight rule and enable the
House to pass the naval vote as "a
dirty trick" Sir William Harcourt,
who was leading the House in the alb
sence OF Mr.. Gladstone, explained that
the Government had no intention un-
duly to rush the votes Mr. Balfour
thereupou announced that he would
not oppose the motion TO suspend the
rule. A section of the Unionists de-
clined to con form to this compromise
between the two front benches and
challenged division, whereupon Mr.
Balfour, with the whole front opposi-
ton benches, with the exception of Sir
John Gorst, Indignantly quit the House.

ing left in the lurch but accepted the
situation and abstained from voting,
though afterward he warmly remon-
strated with Mr. Balfour, whose posi-
ton is becoming untenable.
Lord Salisbury has come to the rescue
OF his nephew and called meeting Of
the Conservative peers at the Carlton
club for tomorrow, ostensibly to dis
cuss the opposition to Home Rule, but
really to endeavor to secure the discip-
line Of the unruly Unionists. Lady

Mcclure of the Times has sent the fol-
lowing dispatch from Washington TO
his paper:
For months past the one effort of
the late administration was to conceal
tn true condition of the national
Treasury and embarrassing as its con.
dition is known to be, the public
will be startled when Secre
tary Carlisle's statement shall
be given to the country. The Treasury
is literally bankrupt. The gold re-
serve is actually below the minimum
tandard-Sl00, 900, 600 Secretary Eos
ter refused on Saturday to sign a
s., 900 600 warrant for an Indian claim
that should have been signed
months ago, because there was not
money enough in tho Treasury TO meet
it. There is S1O4 900 900 Of gold re-
serve, but IS 900, 900 has been borrowed
from the banks TO keep up the appear
ance of maintaining it, and counting
only the actual available cash assets of
the Treasury as they were counted
by former secretaries there is
a deficit Of over 10000, 900.
All the gold shipped to Eupope comes
direct from the treasury vaults, and
the government now receives no gold
revenues. Custom duties can be paid
in coin notes, and gold has ceased TO
come into the Treasury.
