When the Populists assumed control
Of the state government, on Jan. 9th,
1888. there was a cash lalancc In the
general fund of $109, ,iI6.ioo. The state

treasurers for collections due the state
IN account of the general fund for the
quarter ending Dec. 81. 1902, were
turned over to the Populist auditor by
the Republican auditor The receipts
from the several counties on account
of the above mentioned statements
amounted to $64. III 40 for the general
fund.

Blue book Issued Giving Englandis ver-
sion of the Faahosla AFFAIR.
LONDON, Oct. 25.-The Fashoda yell
low book issued by the French govern
ment having left some slight lnisgivings
in this country as to lord Salisbury's
fir1nness in dealing with the French am
bassador, Baron de Courcel, q dispense
tion Of these fears followed the publica-
tion Of a British blue book. Tho most
important feature of this book is dis
patch dated Oct. 10 from the Marquis
of Salisbury to the British ambassador
at Paris, Sir Edmund Monson, reporting
the previous interview with Baron de
Courcel in which the latter wished to
ascertain what solution Of the question
was possible. In this dispatch the Mar.
quis Of Salisbury said:
Still lsolongs to Egypt.
II generally insisted that the Nile
valley had belonged and still belonged
to Egypt and whatever diminution that
title had suffered by the mahdi's con-
quest had been removed by the victory
at Omdurman."
The blue book also contains interest
ing letters from Mustapha, the regent Of
Egypt, to General Kitchener and Lord
Cromer, the British diplomatic agent,
respectively, showing Egypt's attitude.
He wrote to General Kitchener warmly
thanking him for taking possession Of
Fashoda, and thereby reconquering for
Egypt the provinces which assure her
existence and from which she only re-
tired prOvisiOually.

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. A.-Comment-

ish chancellor Of the exchequer, Sir
Michael Hicks-Beach, the Novoe Vrem-
ya, charges the chancellor with making
aviolent attack upon the French gov
ernment and says he failed to bear in
mind that France has, in Russia, ian
ally resolved to support her in the
Eashoda question, in view Of the full
solidarity of their interests.
Continuing, The Novoe Vremya ex-
presses wish that the matter be ami
cably settled on the basis Of c0mpensat-
ing FRANCE by the concession Of an
outlet on'the Nile, and the paper adds
that France should not demand more.

The Fashoda yellow book, just out, is

Major Marchand's report, which will be
published later. The dispatches were
largely anticipated by the English
Fashoda blue book.
The diplomatic conversations recorded
show o curious endeavor on the French
side to represent that Mnrchand's mis-
sion was quite a. important as General
Kitchener's ON the ground that the
struggle was against the khalifa and
barbaristn.
Preach side OF tho Case.
On Sept. 10 NJ. de 10 Case, the French
foreign, minister, informed the British
ambassador to France, Sir Edmund
Monsoon, III explicit language, that
France did not regard Lord Salisbury's
claim to the Soudan, by virtue Of con-
quest, rs applying to Fashoda, on the
ground that the Marchand expedition
went to the relief Of the French expedi-
tion under Captain Licolard, which dated
from period long before the declara-
ton in the house of commons by Sir
Edward Grey, under secretary Of state
for foreign affairs in Lord Rosebery's
cabinet, as to the policy Of the British
government toward the Soudan, and
at time when the equatorial provinces
were lost to civilization. In fact, M.
de Ia Case argued, unless Great Britain
possessed the sultan's mandate, as we'll
as the khedive's, to acquire all former
Egyptian provinces, France considered
herself equally entitled with England to
possession Of any point occupied by
French officers.

We noed more coast defences and

enough to put into the Presidents

our present revenue ia inadequate TO

duced a deficit in eight months OF

upon extraordinary RESOURCES to meet
these extraordinary expenses. Luckily,
wo have in the Treasury the remains OF
a loan contracted in 1896 by Mr.. Olepo-

have occurred with any tariff. and il
now occurring with the Dingley tariff,

1t is assumed that tho killing grew

The firm was not a member of the
New York Stock Exchange, but did a
considerable business among the smaller

1t Is aaih that there hnd been bad
