The loss to the French troops Is given as eight killed and thlrty-stx wounded. It Is officially announced that the Dahomeyans left 200 dead, among them twenty amazons, close to the French line. The natives occupied a strong position and a desperate fight followed the attack by the French. A thick brushwood surrounded the Dahomeyans' position and this afforded some protection to the attacking forces.

As a matter of fact they do not generally reach the Treasury much before the date of the meeting of Congress. Secretary Rusk, of the Department of Agriculture, has practically completed his estimates. He says they do not vary materially from the appropriations made by Congress for the current year, a total of about 83,000,000. “If Congress should do what ought to be done to advance and encourage the agricultural interests of the country,” said Secretary Rusk, “|50,000,000 would be appropriated. But, as it is, all that vast interest, the greatest in the land, has appropriated for It by the government Is $3,000,000 a year. Why, a single vessel for the navy costs more than that, and several of them are built every year.” As to the operations of the current year, ;which will Include nine months of the last year of > the present administration term, .Secretary Foster claims that the Treasury will show a balance of $10,000,000 on June 30, 1893, i , MRS.

the disease.” Dr. Gardiner entertains no hope of Mrs. Harrison's recovery, and thinks ber death only a question of a short time. Gradually the President is accepting the inevitable, and now seems to realize tally that the hopes he has entertained of Mra Harrison's recovery are vain.
