OUTLINES OF THE QUEEN'S
SPEECH IN PARLIAMENT.
Not to Embrace the Entire Policy . of
the Administration Lord - Rose
hery Silent as to His Policy
Towards the House of Lord
The Approaching De
monstration Against
the Peers.
London, March 10. rCopvBiGHT.1 The
outlines of the Queen's speech, which will
be read at the reopening of Parliament next
week, will not be communicated to the
leaders of the opposition before to-morrow
evening. Enough is already known to
justify the prediction that the speech will
be abont the shortest one on record, simply
canvassing the unfinished business of the
Gladstonian programme. The bills for reg
istration reform, ;Welsh disestablishment,
the relief of evicted tenants in Irelandand
the amendment of the factory acts, are ex
pected to cover most of the positive part of
the document. Extra grants mav be de
manded, moreover, for several purposes.
If the speech, c: '"y-. outlined, were all
the Liberals had to rely upon for disclosure
of Lord Rosebery's policy, a general revolt
of the party would he inevitable. The
Prime Minister, however, has nrenared an
explicit statement of the policy, which he
will present to the Liberal Commoners in ,
the meeting at the Foreign Office. He will
undoubtedly announce to them at this con
ference the continuance of the Gladstonian
home rule programme in its entirety. He
will express his approval of the policy fol
lowed by John Morlev. Chief Secretary fnr
Ireland and. probably, wjll placate the Rad
ical wing of the Ministerial with a declara
tion in favor of his hobby, the principle of
federation for the United Kingdom. Ho s
likely to propose the realization of this
principle with the formation of grand cen
tral committees for Scotland.
Lord Roseberv's attitude t.nwivU fhn
House of Lords remains doubtfuL Unless
he promises a bill restricting the veto power
of the Peers, he cannot expect smooth sail
ing with the Radicals, for Labouchere and
his supporters would certainly move to
amend the address with some hostile clause
concerning the Upper House. The impres
sion in the Ministerial circle is that the
Prime Minister will suggest an interim
measure, giving the Peers the right to sit in
the House of Commons, as a preliminary to
a sweeping reconstruction of the whole
system of hereditary Legislatures. In a let
ter written in i8 ixrd Kosebery declared
that he favored allowing the Peers the
option of the Lower House. His supporters
now argue that the occasion is inopportune
lor any more comprehensive reform.
ihe Liberal conference at the Foreign
Office will be addressed, also bv Sir Wm.
Harcourt, Chancellor of the Exchequer and
leader in the House of Commons.
u nder the initiative of the American com
mittee, the commission of International
arbitration is being pushed among the Brit
ish Church people and a considerable agita
tion has been begun. The British provis
ional committee jiave resolved to extend
their operations and are already forming an
enlarged committee to be composed of cler
gymen of all Christian bodies and of con
spicuous politicians.
r Arrangements .for the demonstration
against the Peers on March 18th are being
completed rapidly. The demonstration will
be enormous beyond all expectations. More
than 220 London societies and unions will
take part in it and hundreds of committees
will come Ironi the provinces. Altogether,
more than 200, 000 men are expected to
march in the procession.
Charles Fenwick, the colliers' member of
Parliament for the Wainsbeck division of
Northumberland, caused some consterna
tion among the more fastidious Liberal Com
moners after he had been selected to second
the address. He declined to wear the tra
ditional levee costume, protesting that his
every-day clothes were good enough for the
occasion, lne uovernment eventually as
sented to the innovation, but not without
exciting considerable criticism.
The statistics issued by Lloyd's to-day
show that within the last three months
twenty-eight vessels have been abandoned
in the Atlantic. Nineteen of them carried
cargoes of timber and must be dangerous
derelicts.
The Queen will start for the Continent on
luesday. Professor Bnce will be the at
tending minister.
McKane Short a Half Million Dollars.
New Yobk, March 10. A committee of
citizens of Gravesend have for the last ten
days been examining the accounts of the
town, and are said to have found many
irregularities. Town bonds have been found
in Brooklyn banks where they had been
hypothecated by McKane. This afternoon
it was announced that the town board of
auditors had discovered that about 500,000
paid to McKane during the year 1893 had
not been accounted for. Of this amount
130,000 was in street improvement bonds,
$70,000 in sewer bonds and $255,000
paid to McKane by John L.
Vorhees, commissioner of investments,
according to an act of the Legislature, which
was passed at McKane's suggestion; 15,
000 received bv the ex-supervisor from the
tax collector to pay town bills, $o,wu rrom
the board of health for cleaning the town,
$U,000 from the treasurer to pay town
bills, and o,iUO trom the exGise commis
sioner. It is iaia that part or mis money
has been used by Mr. McKane to pay con
tractors and other creditors of the town, but
whether it is true or not, the fact remains
that the town auditors have no vouchers or
other documents accounting for any part of
this half million dollars.
Tne South Carolina Election.
Charleston, S. C, March 10. A special
election will be held in the First Congres
sional district, of South Carolina next Tues
day to fill the vacancy caused by ex-Congressman
Brawley'p resignation. The result of
the election has been in great doubt, because
three candidates have been 'In the field.
They are Gen. James F. Islar, of Orange
hnfff a-ho stands on the Democratic plat
form and is entirely in sympathy with the
President and his policy; Dr. J. William
Stokes, of Orangeburg, who is an open and
avowed Ocalaite, and D. A. J. Sullivan, of
Charleston, who has been running on his
own hook with the promise that Stokes
would retire from the contest and leave the
race to him. But S,toks will not retire, and
Sulliyan to-day resolved to withdraw from
the contest. In a letter to his constituents,
which will be published to-morrow, he de
clares that he will not permit himself to be
bound to aid any man against the wishes
and judgment sf his friends and his city,
and withdraws from the contest. He urges
all his friends and supporters in Charleston
and throughout the district to vote for Gen.
Islar. Sullivan's withdrawal is regarded as
almost certain to elect islar.

Washington, March 10. The Speaker laid
before the House the answer of Secretary

Boutelle, conveying the information asked

forces at Honolulu under the orders of Com
missioner Blount while acting in that capac

COMMERCIAL NEWS.
Stocks and Bonds in New York The
Grain and ProvisionMarkets
of Chicago.
New York, March 10. American Sugar
was the feature of the stock speculation to
day. The stock ranged between 90 to 93i
and closed at 91, a net gain for the day of H
per cent. The rise was based on the belief
that the directors will declare the regular
dividend either to-day or Monday. Up to
the close of the market, however, nothing
definite was known. The stock was also
strengthened by reports that the company
purchased large stocks of raw sugars re
cently which will net it a big profit if the
Senate Tariff bill becomes a law. So far as
protection on refined is concerned, an official
of the company said that anyone familiar
with the sugar business knows that when
the varying rates of the duty are
reduced to a parity of 100 degrees of raw
sugar, there is practically no margin what
ever for the American refiners. Under the
duty as proposad, some of the grades of re
fined sugar from England will come into
this country at a lower rate of duty than
the home refiner will be obliged to pay on
his raw material, these sugars being bright
in color, but low in polarization. The opin
ion, however, had no effect on the stock,
which continued to move up. Chicago Gas
was in better demand and rose to
COS. Railway stocks were quiet for a
time, but near 11 io' clock a brisk
inquiry set in and prices advanced i to li
per cent. St. Paul, Burlington and Quincy,
Rock Island and Northwestern were all
prominent in the upward movement. When
Sugar ran off to 90 near the close, the gen
eral list receded J to per cent., and closed
steady at the decline. Net changes show
gains of 4 to 1& per cent. The total sales
were 113,000 shares, of which 35,000 were
Sugar; 73,000 were listed, and 40,000 unlisted
stocks. Railway and miscellaneous bonds
were active and strong.
Chicago, March 10. Outside of guesses as
to what would be the tenor of the Govern
ment report, but little interest was centered
in wheat to-day. Cautious and conserva
tive operators, no matter which side the
market they were identified with, evened
up their trades so that they could start
afresh when they had learned the amount
of wheat still remaining in farmers' hands.
which would be given by Btatistieian Robin
son this afternoon. May wheat opened 1c
lower than yesterday's close at 595c, de
clined to 59, advanced to 59$, closing with
a loss of 4 to i for the day.
Uorn, hKe wheat, showed activity only in
the line of squaring -accounts. The trade
came to the conclusion early in the day that
whatever the uovernment report might be.
it would more likely encourage the holder
than the short sellers and the latter there
fore bought to cover. May corn opened un
changed from yesterday, ranged between
37c and 373c. closing 4c higher than yester
day at 37c.
Oats were firm entirely out of sympathy
with corn. Theopening was rather easy.but
a rally followed on buying by several of the
larger firms. At the close a gain of 4c for
the day had been recorded.
Provisions opened weak and lower, and
with the exception of a reaction just before
the close, that was the condition of the mar
ket throughout . the session. The reaction
mentioned carried prices for pork to the
closing point of yesterday, that being the
last price to-day. There was much activity
in the trade. An unsatisfactory hog mar
ket was the basis for the bad start and the
firmer feeling in grain later in the session
furnished the reason for the recovery.

New York, March 10. George E. Stock

management, said to-day that the-New York
team Would not make the Southern trip, as
was contemplated some months ago. "The

Southern league members did not get to
gether soon enough for our team to make
the trip, if our boys went down aoutn now
tbey would have no teams to play with.

ESTIMATED RECEIPTS
OP REVENUE RAISED BY THE
SENATE TARIFF BILL. :
The Amount Placed at $411,000,000
Against $383000,000 Under the
' House Bill, leaving a Deficit
of $32,000,000 Greatly y
Decreased Holdings of '
. ' " - ' "Wheat and Corn by (
Farmers. ..
Washington. March 10. A rough atatfr
ment of the results of the experts' figuring
on the Tariff bill is as follows:
The estimated receipts from customs in
the amended Tariff bill, as reported to the
full Senate Committee on Finance, amount
to $165,900,000 in round figures. From in
ternal revenue,' including the income tax
and the additional tax of 20 cents a gallon
on whiskey as imposed by the Senate, the
increased tax over the House rates on domes--tic
cigars and cigarettes and the tax on play
ing cards, it is estimated the receipts will
amount to $63,000,000. This $63,000,000 of
internal revenue tax is additional tqS the
revenue derived from these sources "at pres
ent rates, and will make the entire receipts
from internal reVenue, as proposed by the
amendments to the Senate bill, $229,00Q,000.
Adding to this amount $161,000,000 now re
ceived from other sources of internal reve
nue taxation under the present law and
$21,000,000 from miscellaneous sources gives
$411,000,000 as the probable net receipts
under the bill as approved by the Demo
cratic majority of the Senate Finance com
mittee, as against $385,000,000 derived last
Sear from the same sources of revenue under
le McKinley act. , -
The Wilson bill, as passed by the House,
carried an estimated deficit of $73,000,000.
The bill as reported to the Finance commit
tee of the Senate carries with it a deficit of
$32,000,000 only, a little more than half the
deficit created by the House bill.
The statistical returns of the Department
of Agriculture for March consist' principally
of estimates of the distribution of wheat
and corn, the amounts remaining in.farm
ers' hands, the proportion of merchantable
corn, and the average prices of both the
merchantable and unmerchantable. The
report is based upon returns of a corps of
correspondents in each county of the United
States, and through the State agents of the
departments All grain in the hands of
farmers, including the surplus of
the
previous year, is embraced
m the estimates given. The returns of the
correspondents of the department through
out the great wheat surplus States indicate
a new financier in the consumption of
wheat, viz; the feeding of the same to hogs
and other stock, a fact due, as declared, to
the unprecedently low prices, the claim
being made that this mode of disposing of
the cereal is profitable, as compared with
marketing it for human food. The re
turns also indicate that a very considerable
Sroportion of the wheat now in farmers'
ands comes from crops prior to that of 1893
and, especially, from the crops of 1891-92.
Such stocks have been held principally by
large growers. Some damage to such stores
is reported from Michigan and Washington.
The indicated stock of wheat in farmers'
hands is 114,060,000 bushels, or 28 8 per cent.
or tne volume or tne crop ot 1893.. This is
nearly 21,000,000 less than the estimate for
March of last year and nearly 20.000,000 less
tnan tne average or the past eight years.
The amount remaining in farmers' hands in
the eleven principal wheat growing States is
about 73,000,000 bushels, or 63.8 per cent, of
the amount in producers' hands in the
country at large. The average weight of
the crop of 1893, per measured bushel, as
calculated from correspondents and millers
and State agents is 57.6 pounds, making the
estimated product a little over 381,500,000
commercial bushels, as against 396.000,000
nieasurea ousneis as heretofore reported. .
The corn' in producers hands, as esti
mated, aggregates o9,uuo,909 bushels, or
36.4 per cent, of the crop of 1893. This pro
portion is less than for any year in the past
five, except that of 1891. The aggregate of
corn in farmers' hands in the surplus States
oi Uhio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri,
Kansas and Nebraska is bl.l per cent, oi
that in farmers' hands in the entire country.
being in quantity 360,000,000 bushels. The
proportion of merchantable corn is 85.(
per cent., of a present average value of 34.9
cent per bushel. The xinmerchantable aver
ages 32.2 cent per bushels. i
The official and commercial estimates of
the world's wheat crop for 1893, makes.it
32,000,000 bushels less than last year.
The final estimates will probably still
further reduce the total for 1893, as the
preliminary estimates for Russia and Ger
many are generally reduced by the final
estimates.

The Breckinridge-Pollard Case.
Washington, March 10. The testimony
in the Breckinridge-Pollard case will be re

Lincoln will again be placed on the stand
for cross-examination. It was by accident
purely that the case was broken off at the
dramatic point reached yesterday lust as
the three credible witnesses, whom Mr.
Calderon Carlisle promised would sustain
the averment of a promise of marriage,
had given their testimony, but the effort
on puble opinion of this forcible present
ment of one side of the case has naturally
beenyery great. It is expected that the

as to the hue of defence which is to be fol

Cordial Relations With Minister

San Francisco, March 10. Copyright. -
The steamer Australia arrived from Hono
lulu this morning, bringing advices to the
3rd instant. Since the last -dispatch, Feb
ruary 20th, important movements have de
veloped. The observation of Washington's
birthday was general among the Americans.
Minister Willis invited the officials ot the
Government to notice the day, which re
quest they cordially complied with by clos
ing public offices for the afternoon.
The celebration was arranged nonii-
nall by the American League. Salutes
were fired by the Philadelphia, Naniwa and
Champion. Public exercises were held in
the drill shed at 3 o'clock p. m.. Dr. Mc-
Grew presiding. The American Minister
sat with President Dole. At the close Min
ister W ilhs was marked in his attentions to
the speakers, especially to his outspoken
critic, W. G. Smith. His cordial manner to
the Provisional Minister was also marked.
Mr. Willis has manifested much cordiality
towards the Ministers, the other day meet
ing President Dole and strolling with him to
the President's office for a half hour's chat,
The most serious alarm has been taten by
the Government at the fact of a very large
number of arrivals of steerage passengers
from Victoria and San Francisco during
January and February more than 100 in
excess of what might be expected. About
that number are evidently Canadians and
Englishmen, corresponding to the class re
ported to have been enlisted at Van
couver by Sansome. More than ten
of these men have been marked
as wearing military badges of honor.
Sixty such men are marked as lodging
together at different houses, lhey are nrt
in pursuit or employment, and evidently
are supplied with means oi subsistence.
Their sympathies are with the Royalists
and are not concealed, as they are known
to be in communication with them. From
various sources of information the police
are entirely satisfied that these men are per
sons enlisted by Sansome, and that a deci
sive move to get possession of the
Executive building with the aid of
these men is fully planned by the Royal
ists, to be executed withm a lew days.
The danger, which is believed to be immi
nent on account of the trained military
character and courage of these Canadians,
is more serina than anv that has vet
threatened the Government, except that
during the period of Minister Willis' sup
posed hostile attitude.

Rio de J aneiro, March 10. Copyright.!
There now seems to be a definite prospect of
a naval battle and a prompt ending of the
rebellion, so far as" Rio de Janeiro is con
cerned.
The dynamite cruiser. Nictheroy, the tor-
yedo boat Aurora and the torpedo boat
Destroyer, backed up by three of the tor
pedo boats brought over from Germany for
the use of the Government, have arrived
here. For some time past it has been known
that President Peixotto's fleet was off the
entrance of the bay of Rio; but the six ves
sels mentioned did not pass the forts at the
entrance of the harbor until shortly before
daylight to-day. When the sun rose the
Peixotto fleet was seen to be at anchor be
tween fort Sao Joad and the famous Sugar
Loaf fort. The Government fleet is thus in
a small inlet at the entrance of the harbor.
and well .protected by the guns of Fort
Santa Cruse, as well as by the guns of the
two forts already referred to. The Nicthe
roy, from the position which she now occu
pies, is expected to be able to throw her
dynamite snails at fort viilegagnon. When
Villegagnon has been silenced, it is expected
that the Nictheroy and her consorts will
steam up to a sheltered position behind the
island upon which the Villegagnon f ortifi-
canons stand, and rrom there will shell the
rebel fleet, while being protected from the
hre of the heavy- guns of the insureent
snips.

which is supposed to be the obiect of the
Government's naval attack. All the United

as well as other foreign ar vessels, are tak
ing great interest in what now appears to be
a really interesting chapter in the history of
the Brazilian rebellion. The United States
war vessels, as this disDatch is sent, are inst
outside the harbor and it is presumed that
they may come inside when the action com
mences. The general opinion seems to be that the
fighting will commence to-night or to-mor
row night. For some reason or other the
naval experts seem to have determined that
the engagement must be fought at night.
To Cut Wages or Clpse Mills.
Fall Riveh, Mass., March 10. The Cot
ton Manufacturers' association will meet
Monday next What will be done is a mat
ter ot speculation, but many rumors are in
circulation. It is known that while some of
the manufacturers are contending strongly
for a cut down in wages, others believe that
a shut down embraces the needed remedy
tor the present depressed condition ot trade.
The Spinners union says it will not sub
mit to a cut down, and if one is forced there
will probably be a.general closing jxp of all
mills. The spinners favor curtailment of
production rather than a cut in wages, and
the Weavers union will probably taxe this
stand also. The print cloth trade continues
generally depressed. A fair amount of odd
goods hasT)een sold this week, but at prices
the manufacturers assert below the cost of
production.
Warned Against Immigration Agents.
Berlin. March 10. It is understood that
the Hamburg and Bremen steamship lines
will follow the example ot the Government
and press, and warn the public against the
agents of the Illinois central Railroad com
pany, who were sent here to secure immi
grants for the Mississippi valley, lne uer-
man newspapers declare tnat emigration to
any part of America lor any class or people
is highly iniudicious at the present moment,
