Olney Thinks the Experiment With Eng
land should BE Tried First.
No recent overtures for the negotia-
ton Of a general treaty of arbitration
have been made by the French govern
ment to Secretary Olney, and it is not
his present intention to reopen the sub
ject. On July 8, 1895, ambassador Eus-
tbs cabled to the state department a res
olution unanimously adopted the pre-
ceding day by the French chamber Of
deputies. The resolution was as follows:
1.-The chamber invites the govern
ment to negotiate as soon as possible a
permanent treaty of arbitration between
the French republic and the republic of
the United States of America
The attention of President Cleveland
was called TO this communication, and
in his message of Dec. 2, 1895, he brief
fly referred to it.
So far as is shown by the published
correspondence, no steps were ever taken
by Secretary Olney toward meeting the
suggestions advanced by the French
government. 1t seems to have been con-
sidered inadvisable then, as it is now,
to attempt with any other country q
system of general arbitration until the
experiment with Great Britain had been
tried New York World

GOVERNOR TANNER SURPRISED.
Believes the State Is Being Imposed Upon
by Bankers.

Springfield, Ills. Jan. 27.-Major
McClaughry of the Pontiac reform
school came to see the governor Mon
day regarding the FINANCES of his insti-
tuition. He told Mr.. Tanner that he
would like to borrow 5000 to 500, 900.
He thought this would be sufficient to
run him through until the new appro-
priation bill. The governor asked Nc
Claughry where he was getting his
money now. The major replied that
since September he had been getting
cash from the Metropolitan bank of
Chicago, and that he had borrowed
about $4,000. Mr.. Tanner asked what
interest the bank was receiving, and
Mr.. McClaughry answered per cent
Governor Tanner told Major McClaugh-
ry that he knew private firms who got
money for and per cent. and he didn't
know why Illinois should be made to
pay more than other business concerns
He told Major Nicola ghry to wait.
Governor Tanner then wrote to the
superintendent of all the institutions
asking that they send in their reports
He thinks the state is paying Z per
cent interest on more than $4,000, 900
needed by the different institutions
Governor Tanner will send a message
to the legislature asking that a joint res
olution be passed authorizing the gov
ernor to borrow money for the MAIN
tenance of the state institutions until
the taxes begin to come in. 1t Is gener-
ally believed that the Republican ma
jorities in both houses look with favor
upon the passage of such a resolution.
Mr.. Tanner said
II am going to know who is RESPONSE
BILE for this Shylock rate of interest

If 1 am authorized to borrow money
can get 1t very much cheaper. There
is no doubt but that the finances are
