peers took note Of the reasons Of the house
for dissgreeing with the amendment Of the
upper house TO the employer liability

In the division on which the house re-
jected the lords amendment Chamberlain
abstained from voting, while several
Liberal Unionists and enc Conservative
voted with the government. The fact
that BaIfour did not challenge the
division il believed 70 indicate
that the peers will yield conces-

An Anarchist stumbles I'm London and
IL Blown Up.

LONDON. Feb. i5-A Frenchman, sup
posed TO have been an anarchist, was
blown almost to pieces tonight in Green
wich park. Near by were found frag-
ments of bottle which had evidently
contained an explosive material. The
parkkeeper heard report and Fastening
thithsr found q man knceling on the floor
covered With blood. His hand and
wrist had been blown away; his face
and body were covered with wounds.
and there was q gaping wound in his
stomach, from which portion of his in
testines protruded. He was only able TO
say: Take me home" Where his home
was could not be learned from the papers
in his pockets. and he was therefore con-
veyed TO the Seamen's hospital He died
half an hour after reaching there.
The conjecture of the police is that he
stumbled and fell and caused the explo-
sion of the contents OF the bottle in his
pocket There was nothing on his person
which would disclose his identity. A card
bearing the name Bourbon was in his
Goa. pocket, and the faint clew which this
affords is all the police have TO depend
upon for discovery Of who the man is.

MONETARY COMMISSION.
IL Is Probable i'm Case the Presidents
Plan Is Not APPROVED.

There is prospect that if congress fails
to take action upon the suggestions for
the modification Of the national currency
system, which it is understood will be
recommended by the president or the sec
rotary OF the treasury, there will be an
effort to secure legislation looking to the
appointment OF q monetary committee on
the Ines of the bill, suggested by the
Commercial club Of Chicago. This pan
embraces the appointment By the president
Of a committee Of non-partisan character,
whose duty will be to investigate the ma
ture and working Of each kind of money
now in use and in their report indicate the
monetary standard, which will best pro-
mote the foreign and domestic trade of
the United States and preserve the pub
lie credit at home and abroad.
Comptroller Eck.es said tonight that the
attention OF the secretary OF the treasury
had been drawn TO this plan, and that he
(AIr. Eck!es) would be inclined TO favor
the plan in case it should become evident
that no direct remedial legislation could
be obtained during the approaching ses-
sion He said. however, that there had
been no systematic effort 10 promote the
scheme for a commission. and that in no
event would II be pushed as .ong as there
was any possibility Of securing more d.
rect Legislation for the Improvement of
the financial system.

u. $. TREAsURER's REPORT.
The Financial Condition of the
Country.

Country.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 22.-The treas
urer Of the United States. the Hon. II.
ID. Morgan, has submitted TO Secretary
Carlisle the annual report on the oper-
atoms and conditions of the treasury.
The net ordinary revenues for the fiscal
year ending June 80. cents omitted were
1927. 722. O19, a decrease of $SS, 097. 500 as
compared with the year before. The net
ordinary expenditures were 1857 525, 279, a
decrease of SIS, 952,674. Including the pub
lie debt the total receipts on all accounts
were S724,0O6,53S, and the expenditures
S69S 90S. $50.
At the close of business on June 30. 1898.
there stood on the books of the depart
ment charged to the treasurer a balance
Of $73S, 467, 555. Adding to this the receipts
on all accounts gives 81. 1852, 474 ,093 as the
total to be accounted for. and deducting
the expenditures leaves a balance of $763,-
565.540 on June 30, 1S9. In addition to
these balances. however, there were other
liabilities arising from the postal revenues,
from disbursing officers. and from other
causes. which brought the total to S776,-
041 sos at the former date and to sS04S 54,
753 at the latter. After setting aside the
amounts treated as unavailable, the prin-
cipal of which are the deposits made with
the states under the law of 1886, there re-
manned the sum Of $746,53S,655, in 1898,
and the sum OF S775, 500 in 1894, repre-
scented by live assets in the several offices
Of the treasury and mint, together with
deposits in national banks. OF these bal
ances the sums of 1854, 1888 and $685.
$50. respectively, were on deposit for
the redemption Of outstanding certificates
and treasury notes, leaving $161, 1874, 1856 and
$3.50 154,739 as the balances on account of
the general fund.
The treasurer remarks that the inn
pairment OF the gold reserve, rendering
necessary the issue of bonds in February,
was caused chiefly by the depletion of the
treasury resulting from insufficient rev.
enues. Even when the supply of paper
had become so reduced that the treasury
was obliged to pay out large sums of gold
i'm the ordinary disbursements the coin
was freely returned in the revenues. The
proceeds of this loan were SIS, 100000 in
