tents Will Leave Things

Utterly Unable to Explain tho Present
Financial situation-Can Give Neither
Keason Nor Remedy

WASHINGTON. Feb. 10.-CarIisle, within
the last few days. has given much attention
and study to treasury affairs, acgunintinp
himself with business pending in tho de-
pariment which is likely to remain over for
solution by the next administration. The
principal Of these questions is the recent
heavy absorption of gold. He has had per-
sonal conference with several prominent
officials in the treasurer's office. They ad-
mitted that all theories as to the cause Of
the outflow of gold had baen dashed to the
wall by recent events and said they stopped
trying to find out the reasons and instead
are bending all their energies to keep in
tact the gold reserve. $1,000 900. Sscre-
tary Foster expressed the opinion that tho
gold output within the next few mont hs
will not be so great as il has been. Some
treasury officials advance the opinion that
ss the house refused to repeal the Sherman
law gold will cease to be exported. on tho
theory that the gold movements to Europe
WAS intended mainly to influence lsaisla-
ton.

Hunters Hot Springs.
To The independents:
The communication of the president of
the Woman's Relief Corps of the Depart
ment OF Montana is timely and to the
point. The location of the home with a
view to availability and convenience and
comfort of the old veterans should out
weigh local interest. 1t is also we'll
known fact that the majority of the old
veterans are suffering with some chronic
trouble. mainly rheumatism. malarial
poisoning. or some OF the several condi-
tions resulting from disease contracted or
wounds received in tho army. 1t is also a
we'll known fact that these chronic diseases
and results of wounds bat1led tho best med
ical skill OF the country, and in the large
majority of cases these same diseases,
especially rheumatism, dyspepsia, Ca
tarrhal troubles and mRlarial poisoning are
greatly benefited by some of the hot min
eral springs waters by bathing aud use OF
the waters.
While l would not detraot from tho
reputation of any of the several hot water
springs of Montana. it is a we'll established
fnct the waters of Hunters hot springs are
not surpassed by any in the United States
for the relief or cure of rheumatic diseases.
Tho Hunters hot springs are centrally
located, easily available from all parts of
the state; afford an abundance OF water:
the climate ia as mild Rs that of any other
portion of the state; fine natural scenery

LONDON, Feb. 10.-In the commons to-day
Bafour spoke at length in favor of extend
ing debate on the address. Gladstone OBJ
iected "a the manner in which the extern
sion OF debate has been introC uced without
previous notice. Balfour replied with
spirit that he had not only given notice, bu t
also debated the question last evening when
the right honorable gentleman opposed
was more ag eeablv occupied. This slur
had an unexpected effect on the house. Th o
liberal and Irish members of the house an
swered it with cries of Shame" and ieers
which completely drowned the opposition
cheers.
When Gladstone rose TO answer he was
trembling with Indignation. In voice
shaking with anger, he thundered out:
With due regard to circumstances and
time, l have endeavored to serve tho house
to the best of my ability. Loud and pro-

Repeated cheers followed Gladstone's
words and amid tho enthusiasm Bulfour
rose unnoticad TO speak. Before he had
spoken dozen audible words the Irish
members dtowned his voice again with
yclls and shouts OF "Oh! ohr' "Coward.n

sion Balfour made himself hoard sufii.

Processes OF Prompting a Measure
In the French Chamber

General sympathy for Ferdinand DeLes
seps In HIS Tronbles-His Sentence
Thought Too Severe.

PARIS. Feb. 10.--Ex-Minister Baihut,
Senator Berat. ex-Minister and Deputy
Antonin Pfoust, Deputy Duque de la
Fauconnsrie, ex-Depnty Gobron. Charles
DeLesseps. NJ. Marius Fontane, Henry
Cottee and M. Blondin, were arraigned
on charges Of corruption in connection with
tho Panama lottery bonds bill. The in
dictment sets forth that note was found
among the papers OF Charles DeLesseps
showing that Baibut asked for 1,OOO, 600
francs for introducing the Panama bill ia
the chambers. The measure was laid on
the table IN the chamber of deputies June
II, and the same day Charles DeLesseps is
sued two cash vouchers. the amount of
which Fontane received on tho following
day. On receiving this money Fontane
Immediately handed oDs-quarter million
francs to Blondin, who took the money to
Baihut at the senate chamber. On the 21st
Blondin paid Baihut further sum of 1856
600 francs. Baihut at first denied those
facts but finally admitted them. aud also
admitted that he applied 100000 and 5000
francs to the purchase of Italian rentes.
The indictments conclude by detailing
various charges against Fontane and
Charles DeLesseps. who are accused of
bribing Baibut; also of having induced
Arton and the late Baron dc Rsinach to
corrupt senators and deputies.
Discomfort caused by the dismissal IN
chamber OF Indictments OF the true bills
found for corruption against Rouvier and
others has moved the parliamentary COM
mission to renewal of its activity. The
commission now proposes to summon all
deputies who have been accused of cor
ruptness. Should the court Of cessation
reject the appeal of Ferdinand De Lesseps
against the decision of the court of appeal
his name will be stricken from the lists of
the institute and legion of honor.
Papers OF all shades Of opinion comment
on the severity OF the sentence in the
Panama canal cases, especially that Of Fer
dinand De Lesseps whose genius was tho
glory of France. Cottu and Charles Do
Lesseps have decided to appeal from the
finding.
