NEWFOUNDLAND COMPLAINTS.
Charges Against the English Press
of Malicious Misrepresentation.

LONDON, March 4.-Premier Whiteway.
OF Newfoundland. has csbled a letter TO
the Times. declaring that for some time
past there have appeared in the English
press most malicious and sensational
misrepresentations respecting this colony
and it's public men. over the signatures
OF Reuter- and Dalziell."
Mr. Whiteway gives as an instance a
Reuter- dispatch under the date OF Janu-
airy 26th. which asserts that the revenue
Of Newfoundland up to the date men
toned was 5000. being one sixth OF the
revenue for the corresponding period
Uwenty-six days. of 1884.
Mr.. Whiteway says that the revenue
for that period was s3s.2J7. against &5,2s3
for the corresponding period OF 1894. He
does not ascribe the decline To the Imam
ciaI crisis. but to the reduced purchasing
power. owing 10 the limitation Of the mar
kets for exports This condition. he says
would have been materially averted had
the Imperial Government ratified the
Bond-B convention with the United
States.

pose that he went to the national capital

reading what the newspapers had had to
say on the subject. remarked that II was
pity the Virginia statute did not give
the Governor the power 10 revoke the
commissions OF the officers relieved. but
as the Governor had no such power the
next best thing had been done.
The Governor said he did not go up
20 the White House. IL would have been
cruel 10 take up the Presidents time
during the dying hours Of Congress. As to
the question Of an extra session no one
could tell anything about 1t.
