the Colonel in the full tide Of wrathfuI
defamation. He was demanding of tho
miserable Don Antonio when the army
was to be paid. The latter sat COVERING
under his scorn, and would, l verify be-
lieve, have bolted out Of the House had he
not been nailed to his seat by the cold
eye Of the President, who was looking on
from his box. The minister on RISING
had nothing to urge but vague promises
of speedy payment; but he utterly lacked
the confident effrontery Of his chief, and
nobody was deceived by his weak protes-
tatiops.

roar, and strolled on to the house of
friend OF. mine, one Madame Devarges,
the widow of French gentleman, who
had found his way to Nottingham from
New Caledonia. Politeness demanded the
assumption that he had found his way
to New Caledonia owing to political trou-
bles, but the usual cloud hung over the
precise date and circumstances Of his pat

Finances of Mexico,

City Of Mexico-In congress Satur-
day the report of Minister of Finance
Limantour was read and the budget
for the coming fiscal year was made
public. The estimated receipts for the
coming year total $103 1855, 900, while
the expenditures will reach $103, ,203,-
S42, leaving an estimated surplus of
$1S1 ,15S.
The total increase of this years bud
get reaches the sum of $6,592, ,275, the
largest item in the increase being for
$1,367 $50 for maintenance of the de-
partment of war.
The revenues for the fiscal year
just passed totaled $114 4,027 900, the
expenditures $100.20S,13 leaving a
surplus of $14,077,9S9.
The surplus Of the previous year
was 29,209,4S1 and the falling Off of
the past year was due to the large
sum spent in public works, SIT ,2O6 COS.
Minister Mimantour maintained that
the recent crisis in the United States
would make itself felt in the coming
year in Mexico in that investment
would be curtailed. Interest rates are
higher, but this would only affect min
ing industries. He believed that in
the end it would work for good rather
than evil. The minister recommended
increased salaries for public officials

Admiral Evans MESSAGE,

Fort Monroe.-Rear Admiral Robley
ID. Evans, commander of the fleet, was
ashore much of the day Saturday, hav-
ing recovered from the slight indis-
position he suffered during the early
part of the week. He declared that
the sixteen ships were ready to weigh
anchor at any time. In an interview
he said:
You ask me on the eve of the de-
parture Of the fleet to give you some
words to lay before the people of the
United States. | therefore ask you to
convey TO the people the sincere
thanks and hearty appreciation of the
officers and men of the fleet for the
great interest which the country al
large Is taking in our movements. We
feel the responsibility which the peo-
pie have laid upon us by their interest
in the past years in creating and main
tanning this splendid fleet and in the
continuance of that interest which now
fits us out complete in every particular
and sends us on the great practice
cruise to visit our friends and sup
porters on the Pacific coast of our
country.
II am sure that every officer and
man In the fleet will feel II not only i
duty, but a pleasure, TO repay the peo-
pie for their interest by absolute fidel-
ity to the trust imposed upon him in
small things as well as in large.
Il hope that when we arrive at our
destination the people will have for us
a welcome as warm as in the God
speed which they give us on our de
parture. and should our commander
in-chief then decide to send us to the
other hemisphere. that the same warm
interest will follow there in the future
as 1t always has in the past"
