Minister Bnkcr Wants a Wnr Ship.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2e.-The State De-
partment has been advised by United States
Minister Baker of the threatened revolu-
ton in Nicaragua, and the Minister has
also asked to have a United States war
ship stationed at Corinto. although the
officials will not confirm or deny this.
Probably the reason for declining to admit
the fact is that the department has found
itself. after communicating with the Navy
Department. unable to comply immedi-
ately with the Minister'S request, owing to
the absence of any United States naval
vessel from the vicinity of Corinto. I'm
fortunately the United States ship Alert
which has been at San Jose, in Guatemala,
sailed from that port yesterday for Aca-
pulco. Mexico. and so got beyond the inn
mediate reach of the Navy Department
She should however, reach Acapulco by
Saturday or Sunday, and she will there re-
ceive orders TO turn soutnward again and
go to Corinto. Although this will be done
in Difference to Minister Bakers request.
ii is not believed at the State or Navy De-
partments that a great emergency exists
in Nicaragua, any rate one that Gould

The reduction from 1895 TO 1896 is just
Ssl,sd3.Dl. But discortinuing the pubIica-
tlon OF the laws In the ~ewspape caused
an economy of about S109.0G0 Therefore,
the economy of about 500, 600. Therefore,
the other expenses must have been about
$4,000 more -extravagant in 1896 than in
1886.
The reason why the State fund for 1887
Is stabout' so much is that the figures
published so far do not give it exactly.
It IS Jumped" with the scnooi fund, and
we have not accurate figures available to
disentangle the two accounts. TIL figure
We give is reached by estimating this
years school money at about the same as
last years.
We further make the 1897 appropriation
thus, ito date This is because the de-
ficiency bill is yet to come. 1t will come
at next years session Of the Legislature.
This years deficiency bill is s2SS. SIT. oS for
the General fund. A similar addition to
the 1891 appropriation viii make the ex-
pen5es ct the year about s2,500,00 0.
The explanation given for this years
heavy appropriation Is that tho extraor-
binary expenses are heavy. They are.
Here are some very pretty as well as ex-
t~raorddnary expenses for a presidential
year: $50, 600 for a Camden Arn1ory; $4,000
for more building at the Morris Plains
Asylum; $4,000 for the R~efornatory build
ing job at Railway, and $4,000 for an
emergency fund" for the Governor.
Economy and reform, according to the
Republican dispensafion, are truly great
things.
