The Alooltal AppioprUtian BUI Under ConaJdetetioa-Baeolution B gsrcMa in Sugar Boncty Claim. . . Br Telegraph to the Morning Star. - Washington, February 15 The con sideration of the Agricultural Appro priation bill, in the House to-day, gave opportunity for a revival of the attacks upon Secretary Morton, of the Agricul tural Department, begun by Senator Vest in the other branch of Congress, for refusing to execute the purpose of Congress to distribute seeds among the farmers of the country. The bitterest speeches were made by Democrats Messrs Moses and Livingston of Georgia, and Boatner of Louisiana. Messrs Livingston and Boatner Included Comp troller Bowler in their scathing denun ciations, and insisted that tne time had, come when it was necessary that the line between the legislative and execu tive departments of the; Government should be definitely and finally settled. . Mr. Livingston said he was willing that the legislative branch should be re quired to attend to its business and he wanted the executive branch to learn to attend to its business. . When theHouse -adjourned at 5 o'clock the Agricultural bill was the pending business. Before the bill was taken up the Judiciary Committee's sub stitute for Mr Boatner's resolution re garding the refusal of Comptroller Bow ler to certify the sugar bounty claims tor payment was adopted. It reads : Pesotved, That the .Committee on the Judiciary be and hereby is authorized and directed to inquire as to the condi dition of the law on the subject of the right of the executive otncxrs ot tne Government in the several departments thereof, to refuse to enforce, execute or comply with the provisions of any act of the Congress of the United States on the ground ot its alleged unconstitution ality or for other reasons and to report to the Hquse by bill or otherwise. The Senate amendments to the bill incorporating the Society of the Daugh ters of the American Revolution were concurred in. The House then went into Committee" of the Wnole upon the Agricultural Ap propriation bill. Mr. Willis stated that the bill was the natural born child of, a company of farmers. Laughter. " It carried a total appropriation of $3,158,192, which was $145,358 less than the total of the bill for the current year. "That bill."- he said, ' was passed while the famous Holman, of Indiana, was a member of Congress, The reduction from a standard which passed his scrutiny and approval should commend itseif to the economical spirit of the House. I believe that the bill will me. t your approval until you come to the seed distribution paragraph, and that I have no doubt you will be ab'.e to manage to the satisfaction of men and angels." The Speaker laid before the House to-day a communication from Secretary Herbert requesting an appropriation of 450 000 to enable the Navy Departrceat to test methods of throwing high explo sives from guns on board ships with or dinary velocities.. Recommending the allowance, Secrtary Herbert says that it is very desirable to secure a sale method of throwing large charges ot high ex plosives carrying safely be necessary detonating compound at the ordinary velocities obtained in powder guns. Methods have been presented, he says, which can only be tested under special authority. , FINANCIAL SITUATION. Review oC - Etaiement of the Aseoolated Eaoki of New York. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. New York. Feb. 15. The Financier in its bank statement says: The state ment of the associated banks of New York city for the week ending February 15th is regarded as favorable, although it is not exactly what had been expected. The increase of $3,311 300 in the loan item, for instance, would be taken ordi narily to mean that business was expand ing, but as the Financier pointed out in its analysis of the New York bank state ment several weeks since, it is not safe to judge that a sudden increase in loans following a Government bond issue is indicative of such a revival. While there is no exact means of knowing, it is almost certain, in view of the fact that the corresponding items are not affected, taat some ot the banks are charging up their purchases of Government loans to account. This bas been an invariable experience during the weeks following former issues and it would not be at all surprising to note heavy increases ln- loans for some weeks to come. The sudden change in cash holdings was, of course, to have been anticipated, but the bank report is a little belated in covering the entire, week. The Treas ury bas. since one week ago, Saturday, received in the neighborhood of fifty millions in specie This does not all come from the banks, but it is to be doubted whether their payments con stituted only $7,142,500 of the total, as the statement shows. ' The six national banks acting as Gov ernment depositories now hold, accord ing to close estimates, from $8,003 000 to $10 000000 Treasury gold. . This is secured to the Government by special deposits of U. S. bonds. 1 be legal tender increase of $3,844.- 200 was brought abont by the excess of interior receipts, and by operations with the Treasury on the bond account. The circulation item, usually reported with but few changes, has been fluctuating widely of late. The Fourth National Back, which reduced its circulation over a quarter of a million one week ago. reports another cut of $288 000. and the Chase National bas apparently in creased its circulation $90,000. These changes, however, have only a temporay significance. The money market has been easy and no signs of stringency exists. : ' New York, Feb. 15. The weekly statement of the associated banks shows the following changes: Reserve de crease, $3 363,550; loans increase. $3,311,- suu; specie decrease, $7 142,500; legal tenders increase $3,844,200; deposits in crease, $261,000; circulation decrease $239,400. The banks now hold $38,818,- 875 in excess ot legal requirements. GRAIN AND PROVISIONS. Wheat Advsnoed Bat Closed Lo -war-Corn nd Oats Unchanged Fork Products Lower.

Two citizens from Zeitoun came to Adana, dressed as Kurds, to find cut the strength of the Turkish army in that section, and it is possible' that some of the following accounts from Adana have come from them. Thirteen thousand armed men are said to be in Zeitoun and it is sur rounded by 85,000 soldiers stationed at five points. But these latter, insuffi ciently clothed and fed. are dying at the rate of forty a day. Special trains from Mersin and Adana have been loaded with bread to be forwarded. Many of the inhabitants of the besieged city have donned the clothes of those they have captured and come and go at their leisure. A few of them met a camel train of seventy animals conveying bread to the Turkish troops, u Accosting them as brothers and expressing their sense of grateful, satisfaction over the trouble they had been taking in order to feed the suffsring troops, they led them straight into their city. It is generally supposed in Adana (where nothing is yet known of a medi ation) that some sort of an armistice has been agreed upon until March 1st. .. A tetter from Marash, written the first week in January, says: "The hordes that went up to Ztitoun for plunder were either killed or came back in silence and consternation. It is reported that the Turkish commander was killed and the . war may last Jor months yet." f . Further, regarding Marash, the letter says:. "The people are terrified by daily threats and beating and wounding in the streets are not punished. Few men venture out. The women go on er rands instead. "The foreigners have to take charge of all the relief work, as the natives do not dare help. Yet the foreigners can not do any visiting, because of rough treatment afterward given to the persons visited." Constantinople, January 31. The Turkish violence in the province of Harpoot and some of the adjacent vjL lages. which has been obtained through a translation of a list prepared in Turkey by a local Moslem in a high extra Gov ernment position, gives the total number killed at 89.234. ' London, February 15. The Angio Boer troubles arising from Dr. Jameson's raid into the Transvaal, or perhaps from a more remote cause, do not appear likely to be settled by a mere exchange of diplomatic correspondence, or a! visit of President Kruger to London. . On the surface all appears to be clear sailing, but it can be stated with certainty 'that there is something in the wind of which the general public has as yet no know ledge. Pretoria advices of Thursday showed that the Boer Government was incensed, and with reason, because of Mr. Chamberlain's dispatch to Sir Her cules Robinson. Her Majesty's High Commissioner in South Africa, in which the Secretary of State for the Colonies set forth the alleged grievances of the foreign residents of tne Transvaal and suggested a scheme of reforms, which included the granting of autonomy to the residents of the Rand. President Kruger thought that . tin was an unwarranted interference with the internal affairs of the South African Republic, and he did not hesitate to say so. Oa the face of things, it appeared that the moderation of President Kroger towards Dr. Jameson and his fellow filibusters and the, ostensible intention ot tne tJntitn uovernment to protect the Boers in their rights would, after some diplomatic correspondence, result in ihe restoration of the condition 'of affairs that prevailed before the raid. Beneath the surface, however; it ap pears that the British Government is not entirely in good faith. Toe representa tive of the United Press learns from an official source that the War Office, act ing under orders from the Government, has made every preparation to send an army corps of twenty thousand' men to South Africa. Despite the iieece of the Ecgli.h papers and 10 lace of possible denials, the absolute accuracy of this statement can be relied upon. The War Office was consult ;d by the Government the week after Emperor William sent bis dispatch to President Kruger as to now long it would take to land a f illy-cquipped army in Natal. Plans were prepared between the War Office and the Admiralty, with the re sult that it was reported that an expedi tion could be ready within three months. The details c f the scheme are known only to the deads cf the War Office and the members of the interi or cabinet. but the information received by the re presentative of the United Press points to large contingent being drawn from ndia cavalry, artillery and infantry, in cluding Sikhs and other native troops. ' The promise of a peaceful settlement of the Transvaal difficulty does not ap pear to nave sufficed to induce the British Government to abandon its pro ject. Final orders for the dispatch of troops nave not yet been given, j but if me present aesigns are carried out. a full army corps wilt be in Natal some time in May. What real use is .to be made of this force can only be surmised. The Conservative organ, the Globe alone oi all tne newspapers, seems to have re ceived some hint of the Government's intentions. It argues that soft' words with the Boers is a sheer waste of time. England, it declares, will get what she wants only oy a display ot force, not on actual collision, but a demonstration Therefore, the Government mast in crease us lorces in bouth Africa to such an extent as to convince the Government at Pretoria that neither the Boers nor Germans will, be ' longer allowed to prevent submission to Eng land's just demands.'' The Globe does not attempt to estimate what force will be required to overawe the Boers, but says that the Government bas not enough troops in South Africa at Dres ent to do what at any mqment it may be imperatively necessary to do.i The cngusn, alter tneir thorough defeat at Majuba Hill in 1831. had 20.000 i troops opposea to tne Boers, who were not at all overawed then. If, to the prelected expedition there should be added the existing forces in South Africa, there would be of all arms combined from 25.000 to 30 000 men, who could be used in a demonstration against the! Trans vaal. The Republic might, and proba bly would find an ally in the Orance Free State. It would also receive as sistance Irom Dutch svmnathizf.ra in Cape Colony, and would probably secure ine active intervention of Enrobe. It would be a big job for England to make even a limited demonstration. Although the First Lord of the TreaS ury, Mr.,A. J. Balfour, referred hope- may in tne House of . Commons last night to President Kiuger coming- to camana to aiscuss tne questions at issue, nobody within or without the offi cial circle believes that he is coming. On mursaay nignt Mr. Chamberlain an nounceo bis readiness to abandon bis proposal that Home Rule should be granted to the residents of the Rand and to ask President Kruger to sugeest an alternative. The sturdy Boer Presi dent stated the' alternative" explicitly in bis last dispatch, in which he declared mat me iransvaal would allow of no in vrence In ,l internal affairs: p wi this dispatch before him. Mr. Baliour affirmed the decision of the British Governrflcnt td interfereome- how to secure to the foreigners in tne Transvaal equal rights witnthe Boers. The question now is, what iorm win tnia Interference take ? The ministerial explanations in Par liament regarding Armenia nave not been satisfactory even to toe Govern ment's supporters and have distinctly weakened Prime Minister Salisbuiy's reputation. The old description of "a lath painted to look like iron" is plenti fully quoted. The Liberals have post poned their general attack on the Gov ernment's Armenian policy until the newly issued Bine book can be studied. Tne tone of the Conservative and Liberal speeches in the debate last nigbi in the House of Commons and the con sequent comments to-oay ot tne news- papers ot Dotn parties, aisciose me laci that there is a current of opinion favor able to British Intervention in the Trans vaal oa the pretext of defending the rights cf the foreign residents of that Republic, bir William vernon-Har- court's moralizing ou the fate which at tends those who jnteretere in the ar rangement of domestic differences did not seem to be taken seriously by the Liberals, whose leader m the House be is. The Wesmins- ster Gazette, which is a Liberal organ, replies to Sir William, saying that as far as the domestic comparison goes. Great Britain has aire id v secured a locus standi by checking the fiht between the Bjer husband and the Uitiaaer wile, it adds that if the Bbeclawa make it impossible tor a man to become a burgher, they must not at the same time deprive him cf his rights as a British subject. ; "' The gravity of the situation is becom ing recognized. The Spectator says that the possibility of a temole war underlies the declaration of Baron Marachall Von Bieberstein, the German For eign Minister, that Germany will not abandon her resolve to interfere in the af fairs of the Transvaal. The paper de clares it thinks that if Great Bntiia was fairly roused, there would be no danger of Parliament refusing the demands of the Government from rumors, of war, but adds that it is doubtful if the coua try even now is aware of the dreadful suddenness ' with which an extreme emergency may arise. j The Statist protests against the Gov ernment devoting part of the budget surplus to the relief of the agricultural distress andLdecIares that this monev ought to be expended in putting the country in a state of preparation for war. It asks what time wou;d elapse, suppos ing there should be need for immediate action,- before material and reinforce ments could be landed in South Africa. Germany, it adds, hss entered upon a struggle with Great Britain to obtain the controlling influence in the Transvaal. An entente on this subject is impossible. The need for lull naval and military preparations without a moment's delay is plainer than ever. ! The latest dispatches from Cape Colony confirm the views generally en tertained here that the Volksraad of the Transvaal will decide that it would not be wise or expedient for President Kruger to make a visit to England, j The newspapers of Maul say they ex pect that; the negotiations between Great , Britain and the Transvaal I will end in a rupture of diplomatic relations and that this will be followed by hostil ities. 1 According to the Natal Adver tiser only a miracle can avert a war. 1 ne news oi a revolution in uorea. attended by the murder of the Prime Minister' and several other officials, bas excited the Foreign Office, wnere the movement is regarded a ctup d'etat in the interests oi Russia. Tne revo lution in bcoul last October, in which the Queen was murdered, removed the greatest enemv of Japanese influence in Corea. The Japanese envoy. Viscount Miura, virtually nominated the minis ters, who kept the King almost a pris oner, i ne counter-revolution, the de struction of the ministers, the anti- Jap anese movement, and the fact that the King bad sought refuge at the Russian egation bas caused great excitement in ljapan. This, coupled with Russia's efforts to secure a naval station in Corea, is likely to lead earlier than was; ex pected to a conflict between Russia ard Japan. The debate in the House of Commons on the address .in reply to the Queens speech will close on Monday. Accord ing to the Pall Mall Gazette, the debate on Mr. Atherly-Ienes' Venezuelan arbi tration amecdment will elicit from the Ministers a , declaration that there is a cordial entente with Washington regard ing the procedure to be followed in de ciding the claims of Great Britain. The Tablet says that Cardinal Gib bons, ot ; Baltimore, .and Cardinal Vaugh, of Westminster, London, have exchanged communications, concurring in the opinion that international arbitra tion should be adopted. The paper adds that the world will welcome their com mon utterance as marking the solid arity of feeling on both sides of the At lantic. MAHER'S EYES.

Maher says he will ight that day certain. He thinks riiz ougtt to agree to this. j El Pasd. Texas, Feb. 15 A mem ber of Maher's party who arrived late to-night from Las Cruces savs that Quinn bas knowledge of a breach in the articles of agreement that will trevent Fi;z3immons from claiming or receiv ing forfeit on Monday. He would, how ever, give no particulars. 1 At 8.30 o clock to-night notice was sent out from headauarters for all the men matched in the minor contests, to gether with their, principals, to meet to-morrow night, when the pro moters will make a statement) of the situation and announce what course it is intended to pursue. It also devel oped to-night that the contract between the citizens and the Florida Athletic Club, by the terms of which the former agreed to provide the sum of $10 000 on condition that the fight take place adja cent to this city, stipulates that the terms of the agreement shall hold good only if the Fitzsimmont-Maher' contest' is brought off between sunrise Feb ruary 14th and sunset of Mon day the 17th. If, therefore, Maher is unable to come to time on Monday the citizens' committee, snould it be so disposed, can declare the agreement null and' void. There are also rumors that the committee has been unable to raise the full amount of the guarantee. It is definitely known that $3,000 of the total is on deposit In the State National Bank, and it is claimed, but not corrobo rated, that there is an equal sum in the' First National Bank and $1,600 in New man's Bank. Even this, however, would leave the necessary total $2,500. U A telegram from Beaufort, N. C says a sensation has been created there ; by the arrest of Dr. L. W.

He said he would leave her at this port far 'some time, and that ' he would run up to Pniladelphia on Monday. He decline to say anything further. A significant point about the arrival of the Commodore is that a few hours after she came to her dock the revenue cutter from Wilmington appeared off the bar and then came into the barbar and ai- chored. The Commodore is a little steamer of 173 tons, scarcely larger than a tue. Her home port is New York. Capt. Hughes and the chief engineer. Thurston, were both on board the Lau rada. K LLED HIMSELF.
