THE KEEL FETE
Does Not Strike the French Fayorabiy and the Government Is lnterpeIlated d-Pro-
 ceedngs of the Deputies.

Paris, June 10.-M. Millarand. social ist, interpelated the government in the chamber of deputies today in regard to the policy of France in the east and ac- ceptance of the invitation of Germany to take part in the ceremonies at kiel on the occasion of the opening of the Baltic sea canal, declaring that the lat ter indicated a change in the French policy.
 M Hanotaux minister of foreign af- fairs, denied that the acceptance of Ger manys invitation furnished evidence of any change of policy whatever on the part of France. The acceptance of Ger many's invitation, he said. was merely an act of politeness. The French sailors who would go to Kiel would represent France, fearing no comparison with the sailors of any power.
 Disavowing any feeling of resentment respecting the east, M Hanotaux said France was unwilling to leave Russia to struggle alone with the difficulties which might influence the general pol icy of the republic. France, he declared, remained faithful to her ally.
 M. Flourens said that in return for French support of Russia in the east, France ought to have obtained guar antee that when the question of the an- nexcd provinces CAlsace-Lorraine) came before Europe. Russia would give France her moral and material support. Fur thermore, Russia ought to help Fance in Egypt in return for service to Russia in the Armenian question.
 EX-Prernier Goblet declared that the action of the government in sending French warshps to Kiel wounded the na- tionel sentiment of France. The entente entered into with Russia had command ed French gratitude, but it now seemed it was not sufficiently effective for action. If a general alliance existed between France and Russia let M IanatauX say so. Germany. he said, had not hes itatcd to publish tho fact Of and terms of the dreibund and France certainly had no right to deny having established an alliance with Russia. He GobleD was not animated by any feeling of revenge, but the separation of Alsace-Lorraine from France constituted q just reason for displeasure, and until that question was settled France would remain neith- CT courteous nor conciliatory.
 Premier Ribot said that France had united her interests with those of Russia for the preservation of tho peace of Ely rope, and this alliance had made both countries stronger.
 The chamber then voted confidence in the goVernment-369 to 105.

T E 4 KNOTTY QUESTION And Uncle Sam Is Pondering It
 Carefully IF A WARSHIP IS SENT
To the Florida Coast to Intercept the FiIibuster-
 ing Expedition
MAY NOT SPAIN PUT HIM IN A HOLE
And Claim Damages for Previous Neglect of 5F. Duty on This Line P-The State Of ficials Think It Best to
 Go Slow.

Washington, June 10.-Officials of the state and navy departments are consider ing the advisablity of sending a warship to guard the Florida coast to prevent the finbustering expeditions from leaving the United States for Cuba, but an embar- rassing question has arisen to prevent immediate action.
 By ordering a vessel to guard that point of the coast line it is feared that this government may place itself in the position of being held responsible by Spain for neglecting to do 90 before Such action, it is contended, would be virtual acknowledgment that the United States failed to do its duty toward the Spanish government, with which they are on friendly relations.
 It is also feared that even if Spain did waive the right to claim damages for previous neglect of duty by this country, embarrassment would likely arise if any filibustering expeditions succeeded in evading the patrol.
 The officials of the state and navy de- partments think it is best to go slow, trusting in the meantime to increased vigilance on the part of the revenue cut ter service.
 Late this evening Secretary Herbert settled all doubts as to the course to be taken by this government by issuing or ders to the Raleigh to proceed at. once to Key West Fla. She will be retained there to watch for fiiibusters and see that no more expeditions leave this coun- try for Cuba with contraband articles or men for the insurgents.

The Spanish Warship Might Have Made an
 Important Capture.
 Jacksonville, Fla, June 10.-A special to the Times Union from Fernandina, Fla, says:
 The yacht Minim returned to Fernan- dina this evening, bringing N. B. Borden and others of the party who left here Fri day night. Reddened by sun, they re- semble weather-beaten seamen. The Minim's trip has been commented upon much and many are elated. Various opinions are expressed concerning it's destination and object. The following is believed by several prominent citizens of Fernandina who have closely watched the drift of recent events to be the cor rect one:
 It has been observed that nowhere in any dispatches is the presence of those prominent Cubans, the Colazo brothers. noted. They have not been seen since Thursday evening. when they were re- ported to have taken the train from here for Jacksonville. They got out of town very mysteriously. One or two people say they saw them get on the train, but smile when they say it. If they got on the train it is believed they stopped off just above the station, where the freight cars would hide them. and went to the building where it is believed the supplies for the Lagonda were stored. There they remained until the Mnim sailed and though the Minim profcSsed to take only certain persons who were seen, it carried the Colazo brothers. but did not bring them back. The Mlnim went to the Satilla river, for it was seen there al Cabin Bluff yesterday morning. Some time ago. it is stated a filibustering ex- petition was sent out the Satilla river and another has probably gone The Spanish man-of-war that was patrollng this coast was sent south too soon If it had stayed longer off tho mouth of Cumberland sound it might have inter- cepted the Satilla flibusters The chances of the capture of such an cxpedi- tion are slender. so that the Cubans can be said to have scored another victory over the suspicious and Watchful Span iarls

AND HERE'S ANOTHER PROOF That the Tide Has Truly Turned
 al Last. THE TREASURY RECEIPTS
Are Picking Up Right Along With the Bushes:
 Revival.
THE DEFICIT IS RAPIDLY DECREASING.
Large Revenue Being Received From Arti- cles That Hitherto Yielded But Little.
 Notably True of Sugar Internal
 Revenue Also Shows Increase.

Washington, June 10.-The treasury receipts are partaking of the general business revival, and while they still do not quite reach the point of equalizing the expenditures, they are getting nearer striking an even balance every day. For the first ten days of June receipts were $S,439. 900 or s1,o00,00O a day, Sun days excluded, and the, expenditures have been lS10,004,000, or only S1,569,00O in excess of receipts. This deficit will be wiped out before many days, and the end of June is likely to show for the month an excess of $2,000,000 of $3,000,000 receipts over expenditures, a condition not reached in any one month for sev- eral years by the treasury.
 The deficit for the year, which now stands at $4S, ,326 QUO, will be reduced to $45, ,000, GOO or below by June 30. This turn in affairs in the treasurys condition is accounted for blythe fact that business is adjusting itself to the tariff conditions, and that large revenue is now being re- ceived from articles that heretofore yielded little, as they were ''in stock This is notably the case as regards su- gar, which had been imported free under the former tariff law. The free stock is now exhausted and imports have been resumed. The large quantity of whisky taken out of bond to escape the in creased tax of 20 cents gallon is now nearly completely consumed and new whisky is taken out of bondto supply the consumption demand. The increase in internal revenue receipts shows this plainly.
 With all the principal lines of business adjusting themselves to the present tar fir conditions and with an increased vol ume of business apparent. still the rev enucs of the government are not quite sufficient, to meet fixed expenditures The increased revenue of 900 or the house tariff act, principally down on the items of sugar, iron ore and coal, makes the deficit just so much less, but leaves the treasury still short about S23, ,000, GOO or $50 GOO, GOO a year of equal izing expenditures. This will have to be provided for by the next congress.

Rome, June 10-The new parliament was opened today with more than the ususal display of ceremony. The king and queen upon their arrival were en- Enthusiastically received and loudly cheered by the immense crowd assem- bled in the Placa. All the ministers and a large number of officials. together with the entire diplomatic corps, were present and strong force of troops was confined in the barracks to preserve order should their services become necessary. Three hundred and seventy deputies presented themselves to take the oath. Signor Cavolotti and the other socialist mem bers were absent in accordance with their previous announcement.
 The speech from the throne appea @ to the patriotism of the members of all parties to assist in eXpedting the budget. The finances, the speech de- Eclared, had already been sensibly ameli- orated. The government promised such judicial reform and laws as would ena- ble a better defense of social order. It might become necessary for the govern ment to have recourse to force in order to preserve the required degree of order but the king preferred the pursuit of hu- mane methods always, and believed in a policy of love before force.
 This passage in his majesty's speech is understood to forecast a large measure of amnesty, and was vehemently ap- plauded.
 The speech announced officially the coming marriage of the Duke of Aosta to Princess Helene of Orleans and the par ticipaton of the Italian squadron in the ceremonies at Kiel upon the occa- sion of the opening of the Baltic north sea canal His majesty also made allu- sions to the friendship existing between Italy and England, to the victories won by the Italians and to the anniversary of the liberation of Rome.
 When the speech was concluded the cheering was loud and prolonged. The speech as whole, made an excellent impression. One particular passage in the speech has been greatly commented upon. After referring to the part to be taken by Italy in the Kiel celebration, his majesty said We shall render our cordial greetings to England and show our close connection with the English navy"
 Pursuing the subject, he presented thanks to the government of Great Britain for having given q new proof of sympathy of England with Italy by pro- hbiting the importation of arms into Africa to the detriment of the undertake ings of Italy on the frontiers of Abys- sinia. These utterances are interpreted in diplomatic circles as disclosing a de- fnitive agreement 'between Italy and Egypt for a common and concerted ac- tion in Africa.

started at o'clock this morning in the Forester Lumber company's yards, Cape and Cherry streets, An hour later the big lumber yard was a seething furnace. The flames had spread to Uhrig's coal yard, in which were stored 50,000 tons of coal. The frame work surrounding the piles of coal was quickly consumed, notwithstanding the fact that twenty streams of water were by that time con- stantly pouring on them. The steam barge Raleigh of Detroit, loaded with coal, caught fire, and the cabin and up per works burned. The roof of the Schlitz Brewing company's barn burned, but the plant escaped.
