REMARKS BY SIR MIKE.
Canada Ought to Ante UP If She Is Coin g
to Stay in the Game.

London. Jan. 19.-Sir Michael Hicks
Beach, chancellor of the exchequer,
speaking at Bristol to-day, ridiculed
the notion of providing granaries, as
had been suggested in some quarters.
He said he was convinced the British
navy was strong enough to hold its
own and that in any war England
would have many friends ready to sup
ply corn. Referring to the coming bud
get estimates, he said these would show
that the government was fully alive to
keeping up the standard of the army
and navy, although he declared it was
not creditable to Canada or fair to
English taxpayers that such colony
should contribute practically nothing to
the naval defense of the empire. he
hoped Canada would soon turn her at
tention to this matter. adding that II
she did not, the day would come when
she would have "a rude awakening
which would be entirely her own fault. :
In conclusion the chancellor of the
exchequer announced that China had
approached England for assistance to
pay the japanese indemnity, and that
the negotiations were still pending.

HARD TIMES IN AUSTRIA.
She Got Ready for Gold Standard but
She Won't Adopt IL Yet.

New York. Jan. 19--The Evening
Posts London correspondent cables to-
day as follows: An unfavorable view
is taken here of the financial position
of Austria. and it is based on economic
conditions. The shortage of the harvest
in Austria-Hungary is much greater
than has been anticipated. AdviceS
from good quarters indicate that it will
be necessary to import &20,000.O6O
worth of food supplies. This will have
an important effect on exchanges
Austria accumulated gold largely for
currency reform. Under the conditions
mentioned a postponement of the cur
rency measures is not improbable.
There is evidence that the Austrian
bank lately restricted the sale of for
eign bills. a further rise in Austrian
exchange would probably mean the re-
sale of the Austrian securities to Wien
ra, so sccentuating the rise. Therefore
IL is not impossible that a portion of
the gold accumulated may be exported.
Such prospects, / believe, will not be
without effect in determining the Ger
man bank rate. which is expected To de-
cline sool. Action on the matter was
deferred o-day."

IN THEIR BEST CLOTHES
Two Thousand People Call on
Mr.. and Mrs. Mckinley.
ALL IN THE BLUE ROOM
Sir Julian Pauncefote, Old Boy Leads
the Way, and the Guests Clap Out
and Clap In All Night-'Twas
Perfectly Lovely, Girls.

Washington, Jan. 19.-The first off,
cial reception of the present admins
tration was given at the white house
this evening. Aside from the fact that
il was the first of which interest in the
event conferred in the new method of
distributing the invitations, so that
only certain proportion of those en-
titled to the hospitality of the execu-
tive mansion would be entertained in
a single evening, the plan. SO far as
could be judged from appearances, was
an entire success. While 1000 invita-
tionS had been distributed, and in spite
of very rainy evening, everyone who
was invited appeared, there was no
crush in any part of the house during
the evening, and the whole affair was
+ commented upon as one of the most
pleasant and least laborious of the big
gatherings that have occurred in the
mansion.
The receiving party consisted of the
president and Mrs. Mckinley, the vice
president and Mrs. Hobart and the
members and ladies of the cabinet All
of these were present except Secretary
Alger, who was still too ill to venture
out, and Mrs. Bliss and Mrs. Long,
each of whom was represented by her
daughter When the house party en-
tered from the upper hall it was noted
that Mrs. Mckinley was leaning on the
usual rule by which the president es-
corts the wife of the vice president,
and the latter the mistress OF the white
house.
The receiving party stood in the blue
paror Colonel Bingham and Lieuten-
ant Gilmore presented the guests. The
reception of the diplomatic corps came
first. Sir Julian Pauncefote, as the
dean of the corps, led the way, but did
not as customary. remain to present
his colleagues to the president. The
whole party from the British embassy
continued through to the east room,
| and left the white house almost i'm
mediately. Practically all of the diplo-
matte corps were present including the
| Spanish minister. Contrary to expec-
| tations, there were a number of guests
| admitted with the receiving party back
| of the line most of them being guests
of the cabinet families and members
fthe diplomatic corps.

liking Mr.. Cleveland would have sup
ported annexation.
Mr.. Morgan had been convinced from
private interviews with the ex-presi-
dent that he had not only believed in
the wisdom of the annexation of Ha-
waii. but that he would also have rec
commended the annexation of Cuba I'M
der right conditions.
Mr. Morgan took up the criticisms of
the government of Hawaii, defending Ii
in strong terms and eulogiZing Mr..
Dole as one of the most competent
rulers of the time. He reviewed Mr..
Dole's history and said that that gem
tleman's record showed that he would
be a creditable head of any nation. lie
controverted the idea that the present
government was, as had been charged,
a missionary government. claiming that
Ii was in every way staunch and enter
prising and abreast of the times. He
said that the people naturally sought
a close alliance with the United states
because they had always had the
friendship and support of the people or
this country. Speaking of the re-
sources of the islands, Mr.. Morgan said
they We're manifold and that the time
would come when they would produce
enough coffee to supply the demands OF
all the people of the United States.
While, he said. the sugar production
had already reached its limit. he esti-
mated that there were at least 10000
acres of land on the islands adapted TO
the growth of coffee, and said that in
dustry was rapidly developing. He
thought at least $500 tons Of coffee
would be exported from the islands
during the present year.
He concluded that the resources of
the country were such as to insure
very prosperous future. and predicted
that Honolulu would some time in the
not distant future attain to great COM
mercial Importance, equal In all proba-
bility to that of Hong Kong or other
cities of equal magnitude.

Senator Morgan dealt to-day with the
questions of the agricultural and com

Great Falls. Jan. 19.-The details of
the accident on the Great Northern ex

city to-day. A snow pillow and crew were
cleaning out the cuts from Blackfoot to
Summit, and the weather being very
cold the fan constantly froze up and
clogged. The fireman, Oliver Funts, left
the engine and went up on the rotary to
clean out the knives. While thus en-
gagged the engineer says that he called
10 Funts to come down and he would
make another try at bucking the snow.
The engineer says that Funts heard him
and answered. The steam was turned
ON and the train went ahead, but Funts
did not return to the cab. The engineer
found that in some way he had been
caught in the machinery and thrown
into the knives, which cut and slashed
the body into strips. which wound
themselves around the knives and made
a mass of gore and flesh. which rapidly
froze and stopped the working of the
