REBUKE TO BALFOUR.
Gladstone Calls the Insolent
Tory to Account.
THE PANAMA soopLe CASES.
The French 0Ovornment - Begin Active
In It-Pity for De Lesssps.

LONDON, Feb. 10.-In the commons to-
day Balfour spoke at length in favor OF
extending the debate on the address.
Gladstone objected to the manner In which
the extension of the debate was introduced
without previous notice. Balfour replied
with spirit that ne had not only given
notice but also debated the question last
evening. when the right honorable gentle
man who was opposed to it was more
agreeably occupied. This SUR had an IN
expected effect on the house. The Liberal
and Irish members answered 1t with cries
of ''shame" and jeers, which completely
drowned the opposition cheers. when
Gladstone arose to answer he was trem-
bling with indignation. In . voice shak-
ing with anger he thundered out:
With due regard to the circumstances and
time, I endeavored to serve this house to the
best of my ability. loud and prolonged
cheerA] The right honorable member Tor East
Manchester would have shown better taste;
would have better fulfilled the duties OF the po-
sition which he occupied ii he had spared his
reference to my agreeable occupation
Repeated cheers followed Gladstone's
words, and amid the enthusiasm Balfour
arose unnoticed to speak. Before he had
spoken dozen audible words the Irish
yells and shouts of .Oh!" "Ohw ''Cow-
ard!" and 'Withdrawv Amid the re-
newed confusion Balfour made himself
heard sufficiently to inform the house that
he had not intended to hurt the feelings OF
the prime minister; in fact the right hon
orabe gentleman was the last person in
the house whom he willingly would Of
fend. This apology was received on all
sides with prolonged cheers which turned
to laughter as Balfour added that the right
honorable to whose more agreeable occu-
patton he had referred, was not the prime
minister, but one of his colleagues.
The house debated until l O'Clock this
morning. An amendment was offered by
Arnold Foster, urging the adoption OF
measures to prevent the repetition OF
priestly interference with elections. The
amendment was rejected by vote Of 24S

THE PANAMA BOODLERS.


Prosecutions to BE vigorously Pushed
Tho Public Pities DE Lesseps.
PARIS, Feb. 1O.-The discomfort caused
by the dismissal in the chamber of in
dictments and true bills found for cor
ruption against Rouvier and others has
moved the parliamentary commission to
renewal of its activity. The commission
now proposes to summon all the deputies
who have been accused of corruptness.
Should the court of cessation reject the
appeal of Ferdinand de Lesseps against
the decision of the court of appeals, his
name will be stricken from the lists of the
institute and Legion of Honor.

Artonin Proust. Deputy Dugue de La
FOnconnerie, ex-Deputy Gobron, Charles
dc Lesseps, n. Marius Fontane, Henry
Cottu and n. Blondin have been arraigned
on charges of corruption in connection
with the Panama lottery bonds bill. The
indictment sets forth that a note was
found among the papers Of Charles de
Lesseps showing that Baihut asked for
LOCO. 900 francs for introducing the Pam
anna bill in chambers. The measure
was laid on the table in the chamber of
deputies on June IL, and the same
day Charles de Lesseps. ISSUED two
cash vouchers. the amount of which
Fontane received on the following day.
On receiving the money Fontane immedi-
ately handed $4,000 francs to Blondin,
who took the money to Baihut. and for
getting the bill through the senate he paid
Baihut the further sum of 1885,
600 francs. Baihut at first denied
all these facts. but he finally
admitted them. He also admitted that he
applied Il. 600 and 5000 francs to the pur-
chase of italian rentes. The indictments
conclude by detailing the various charges
against Fontane and Charles de Lesseps,
who are accused of bribery. Baihut 8
also accused of having induced Arton and
the late Baron Reinach to corrupt sena-
tors and deputies.

the flames Of the insane asylum fire last
night have not yet been found, for the
the cellar is full of water and debris which
has not yet been removed. The search of
the ruins will be continued tomorrow.
Possibly the origin of the fire may be
found in the fact that insane paupers hab-
itually use tobacco and were allowed three
friction matches each to take to their cells
with which to light their pipes. Driscoll's
opinion is that the fire was caused by de-
fective chimney, the sides of the latter be-
ing the thickness of one brick.

portant Public Business.

WASHINGTON, May 9.-The publication
Of the executive order shutting out from
the White House hereafter all office
seekers has caused great CONSERVATION
among the numerous class who have been
besieging the executive mansion for the
last two months. The. .propriety Of taking
this step has been considered and dis
cussed for more than week. At the last
cabinet meeting on Friday the president
read the order, and it was approved by
every member Of the cabinet.
President Cleveland, In speaking about
the matter, said that he had made up his
mind that unless this office seeking busi :
ness was stopped it would be impossible to
consider and dispose Of the important ques-
tions requiring imSediate attention. Dur
ing the last two months, he added, there
were more important questions brought
before the executive and cabinet for ex-
animation and settlement than during the
entire four years OF his former administra-
ton. He had hoped that after a reasonable
time the pressure for office would cease,
but every day seemed to add to the num-
Der until their opportunities were unbear-
able
Secretary Carlisle said that he expected
that those who have been pressing their
claims at the White House would now
fall back on the departments. He. hoped
not, however, for he was nearly worn out
and exhausted by the pressure of friends
and others for places, not only In his own
department, but in all of the others.

Pleasant and Spencer streets, pitcher OF
whiskey, a bottle OF rum and, two bot
ties of lager were seized and Miller taken
to the station and locked up.
At Michael Quinn's on East avenue the
officers were not so fortunate, but they
brought Quinn to the station Just the
same. Both of these men keep grocery
stores and, 1t is alleged, kept open after II
o'clock Saturday night.
This morning Miller was arraigned on
two charges, keeping liquor for sale with
out a license and keeping his place OF
business open after II o'clock Saturday
night. He pleaded not guilty to both
charges and the cases were continued to
May.
Mr.. Quinn was charged With keeping
his place open after IL o'clock Saturday
night and also pleaded not guilty. Hi
case was continued to May IL. Both fur
nlshed bail and were released.

EXAMINATION OF BANKS
Is Likely TO Be Conducted More Frequently
Than Has Been the Custom.

WAsHrNGToN, May 9-More frequent ex-
animation of the national banks will be
made in the future il tho scheme Comp
troller of the Currency Eckels has In
mind is successfully carried out. The re-
cent failure in small Nebraska town of Q
bank which had not been visited by an ak
aminer for more than year 10 one of the
causes which led Mr.. Eckels to believe
that reorganization of the present system
was necessary.
He proposes to divide all the bank ex-
amining districts In the country into new
districts making twice the number there
are now, and will then arrage to have two
examinations each year of each bank In
each district. That there may be no collu-
sion between the examiners and the bank
officers and no covering up of all irregu-
larities. the comptroller will have each ex-
animation in the year conducted by q diff
ferent examiner.
The new scheme will involve the am
ployment of twice as many examiners a.
are now engaged In the work. This will
not involve the government in an addi-
tional expense as the examiners are paid
by the banks for their services, the ex-
pense being levied upon the banks In pro-
portion to their capital stock. Mr.. Eckels
believes the scheme is a good one and will
be welcomed heartily by all banka
Mr. Eckels has called on alf the national
banks throughout the country for reports
showing their condition at the close Of
business on May L.
