WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-The sub-com-
mittee of the Ways and Means Commit
tee to investigate the condition of the
Treasury, expects to receive the latter
part Of this week a large amount of in
formation from Treasury experts. The
Treasury officials have been at work
steadily for three weeks on the report. 1t
can be said on good authority that the
Treasury statement will not show a de-
ficit in the Treasury, or the probability
OF one during the present fiscal year. But
close analysis is expected to show that
Secretary Foster at times had hard
task making both ends meet, and his
successor will be likely, unless relieved
by legislation at this session raising addi-
t1onal revenue, to have even a harder
task, with the pensions steadily increas-
ing.
Secretary Foster informed members of
Congress there will be an available bal
ance in the Treasury July 1st next of
S20,000,000. The balance, however. in
cludes nothing for the sinking fund, of
which the annual requirements are S4S,-
100000.
The Democratic members of Cong ress
expect to show that there have been
times whom deficiency was only pre-
vented by a policy Of not paying any
thing to-day which could be put off until
tomorrow. Not a single new public
building has been provided for during
this Congress. but there still remains
over Sl4,000,0o0 to be expended on account
of public buildings, and $I1 900, 900 against
which there is no outstanding contracts.
There are other matters also in which the
Government revenues have made it
necessary for the treasury to ego SLOW"
for fear that the first time in many years
the balance would be on the wrong side
Of the ledger.
On the result of the investigation will
depend whether or not the WAYS and
Means Committee will recommend Iegis-
lation increasing the revenues at this
session. The present plan suggested,
which, is regarded as most expedient, is,
to increase the whisky tax. This increase
would raise over S35,00O,O0O additional
yearly if law could be so framed as to
effect whisky in bond. What will be the
outcome of this course is uncertain at
this time, but matters may soon develop
by action on the part of Ways and Means

He had been indicted for assault with

The Long Threatened Revolt Against
the Government Has Broken Out.
KINGSTON (Jamaca), Jan. I6.-News.
which was received here to-day, indicates
that the long threatened revolution
against the Government and President
Hippolyte of Hayti has broken out
Messages have been received stating that
a battle was fought this morning in the
streets of the village of L'Anse de Neaue
a settlement back of Port au Prince. In
a short time 300 soldiers and twenty Off
GERS were on their way to the village.
While the fighting was in progress at
this point news was received at Port au
Prince that another uprising had oc-
CURED near st. Michael. The residents
are in terror as a result of the uprising.
All the places of business are
closed, even private residences
barricaded, and the occupants sought
shelter. Troops are under orders to leave
tonight to suppress the rebellion, and
they will be hastened with all the speed
the limited facilities of the republic can
afford.
President Hippolyte at once issued a
manifesto announcing that the uprisings
were nothing more than emeutes, and
there is no organized rebellion or armed
opposition to the Government.
In the elections which were held day
bsfore yesterday, Hippolyte's friends
and relatives were chosen Deputies, but
the success was due to a display of force
at the polls, which terrorized the voters.
Notwithstanding the encouraging terms
used in the manifesto the President is
undoubtedly fearful of general uprising
and is in terror of his life. The guards
about his house were doubled and other
precautions taken to insure his personal
safety. 1t is reported that the diseontent
against the President is spreading all
through the republic. Many of his for
mer adherents in the north have aban-
doned his support, and like desertions
are reported from the south.

physicians would this afternoon give out
a statement as to Blaine's condition.
which would be fuller than statements
heretofore issued.
The physicians this afternoon issued
the following: "Blaine's condition is one
OF great weakness. 1t is shown prin-
cipally in the feebleness of the hearts
action and difficult breathing. He is
perfectly conscious and at no time has
been in a state of stupor. He suffers no
pain; no narcotics or sedatives at any
time have been given, and it is not prob
able that such remedies will be needed. /"
Blaine's disease remains a mystery 10

of the physicians who treated Blaine in

Blaine's illness will probably only be
made known when the certificate at the
health office is made public. and 1 fear
that will occur before long,
At 1890 there was no apparent change
in Blaine's condition. Neither of the
physicians were in the house and the
lights were all out.

Shortly after 5 o'clock an ominous
cracking of splintering ioists was heard,
and then with terrible suddenness the
whole upper part of the building came
down with a rush upon the men on the
first floor. Gales made a rush for the
street, and just as he reached the pave

Three gentlemen in the Office escaped un-

They were ef1ectually walled in, how

The schooner lies at the foot of Wash
ington street. Last night at 1880 O'Clock,
all the men, seven in number, were in
their hunks and asleep. The watchman
had also gone to sleep finding a berth on
top of the boiler. Seven strangers went
aboard, CROPPED their way to the mems
hunks and, with rocks and knives pro-
eeeded to batter and stab the sleepers
with the mercilessness of fiends. Abra-
hanson was stabbed thirteen times and
Kennedy seven times. The cries of the
men aroused the other bunk occupants,
whereupon the assassins fed ashore.
None of those on board dared to follow
them and the injured suffered in pools OF
blood throughout the night. Kennedy
will recover, but it is feared that Abra-
hanson will die. He has been stabbed
in the lungs. Both of the victims have
been taken TO the Marine Hospital, San
Francisco.
The assault. it is believed by the crew
and Captain, was perpetated by members
of the Sailors Union. The crew con-
sisted of non-union men who were
shipped at San Francisco Saturday last.

His Remains Laid at Rest With all
Civil and Military Honors,
LOWELL (MAss.), Jan. lG.-To-day the
foremost citizen and soldier of Massachu-
sets was laid at rest with all honors,
both military and civil, to which his high
rank entitled him. From 3 o'clock
this morning Huntington Hall, where the
remains lay in state, was besieged by
pushing, jostling crowd. The crush was
indescribable, women tainted, children
were trampled on, and still there were
many who were turned away unsatisfied.
Long before the hour OF the services in
the church the sidewalks were crowded,
and when the body was carried from the
hall across the street fully $1,000 people
were within sight. As soon as the casket
was seen hundreds barred their heads and
bowed as the pail bearers slowly bore the
illustrious burden into the sanctuary.
Only those who held cards Of admis-
sion secured entrance to the church.
The eulogy was spoken at the private
services at the house, so there was no de-
parture from the regular service at the
church. At its close the casket was borne
out of the church and placed In the
hearse, and then the line of march was
taken to the cemetery. More than $50
carriages were in line, and when the es-
cort arrived at the grave with the casket
the last of the cortege had but just left the

PARIS, Jan. 16.-The Government is

reports its authority to expel obnoxious

newspaper of considerable circulation in
Milan, for having thrown suspicion on
General Menabrea, formerly Italian En-
bassador in Paris, as having been impli-
Gated in the Panama bribery. This ac-
ton is generally approved, as Marquis
Menabrea is personal favorite with the
people of France, and nobody believes
the charge against him.
The insinuations against Baron Moh-
renheiTn are believed to be equally un-
founded. The Government also is much
displeased with the reports sent abroad
regarding the danger of insurrection.
These alarmist reports find ready publi-
cation in English newspapers, but with
in few days, since the Ministry showed
its resolution not to harbor foreign cor
respondents striking at the Government,
it is noticed the sensational utterances of
the London press predicting in yelled
language the downfall of the republic are
either confined to editorial columns or
dated, in large part, from other capitals
than Paris, just as has been for long

papers to date their more sensational
