London, Jan. 19-Parliament re-

Lord Salisbury assumed the reins of
power. There was an unusually large
attendance in both houses, due largely

member of the house of lords, Lord
Salisbury had addressed a personal

Supplemental Report Filed By
ex-Auditor Fisher.
NOTHING NEW PRESENTED
NO LIGHT ON THE DEBT LIMIT
QUESTION.
Cannot Be Determined Until the
Books Have Been Gone Over and
the Supreme Court Gives an Opin-
ion-Two Clerks Appointed.

Ex-County Auditor Fisher yesterday
made reply to the commissioners re-
quest for a supplemental report show
ing the countys financial transactions
from Jan. l TO Jan. 4, 1897, the day
upon which the old board went out of
office. 1t will be remembered that the
boards request was for a revised or
supplemental report" to the annual
statement rendered by Mr.. Fisher on
Jan. l..
The statement submitted yesterday
is in no wise a revised report and fails
to throw any more light upon the ques-
ton whether the old board, acting
upon Whittemore's advice, exceeded
the debt limit in their expenditures.
But this was not the purpose of Fish
er'S supplemental statement and the
true state of affairs will not be known
until an expert has gone over the
county's books and the supreme court
renders a decision on points involved.
THE REPORT.
Mr. Fishers report addressed to the
board yesterday is as follows:

18th inst. requesting me to furnish
you a supplemental report. l respect

your request for a statement of the
financial transactions of the county in
the fiscal year of 1897, l can only give

ARBITRATION a BULwARK.

Another advantage would be derived
from the treaty in this respect: A
minister dealing with a subject involv-
ing the honor of his country or which
some persons claim involves its honor,
has to think how to furnish an ac-
count of the transaction which will
soothe the jingoes. Arbitration would
be bulwark for such a minister, for
it would be impossible to say he had
trified with the honor of the country
if he said he had submitted the matter

would be something to look back upon.

THE NILE CAMPAIGN.

In regard to the Nile campaign, the
premier said that DongoIa was
taken because it was on the route TO
Khartoum, which place must event
ually be taken from the Dervishes. He
repeated that it was the intention of
the British government to reconquer
the Soudan for Egypt.
In regard to the treaty of arbitration
just concluded with the United States.
he said he could not speak fully on the
subject, because the agreement had
not yet been ratified, still he would say
that the people must not think that
they were living in the mellennial dis
pensaticn. He hoped, however, that
something would be done to diminish
the risk of war. He would not saw
that the treaty would not remove the
greatest risk of war or restrain a Ma
poleon or a Bismarck, but the policy
with the United States was full of an
infinite number of small differences,
which, sometimes exaggerated, caused
irritation and enmity The formation
of tribunal of arbitration would set
tie these differences, would prevent
such and stop the two nations who I'M
derstood each other so well that unless

Then the clerk was instructed to
furnish the board with information as
to whether the county has collected
from the state any part of the salaries
of county attorney, treasurer and as
