or five millions more than the Secretary' estimate made last fall. Receipts from miscellaneous sources during tbe first half of thn current fiscal year were about $14.000.000, and will undoubtedly reach double that amount by the end of the year. So the indications are that government revenues for the current fiscal year will reach SAOOO.OOO against $403,000,000 during the preceding year, notwithstanding a prospective loss of $15,0CO.0CO in sugar duty revenue under the new tariff after the first of next April. Government expenditures during the past six months aggregated in round numbers fiOO.OOO.OOO, or $25,000,000 more than expenditures during the corresponding months of 1SU. Of this increase in expenditures compared with the first half of the precedinar fiscal year, more than 81100,000 is due to "prepayment of interest on bonds redeemed, the payments for this account during tbo past six months having aggiegated 2U,SJ,5S8, against Si8.CG2.020 during the first half of tne preceding fiscal year. For premiums on bonds purchased .during the psst six months the treasury has paid out gl0,o61,GTX against $13,450,183 from July to December, inclusive, in 18S9. Pension payments during the past six montht, aggregated 09,001.970, against $61,&0,0f3 during the first half of the preceding fiscal year. 1 TTIE SUrKEME COURT.

Fall Bench for the First Time In Many Tears Important Cases Coming Up. Washington, Jan. 2. It is understood that Judge Brown, of Detroit, will be here when the United States Supreme Court meets on Monday next, and will then be sworn into office as an Associate Justice and take his seat on the bench. When Justice Brown takes his seat the Supreme Court Bench will once again be full. By reason of various causes the court has been one short of its full working strength except during one brief period for several years, in fact, since the long illness of tire late Justice ,Woods. A number of important cases have accumulated since Justice Miller's death and are awaiting assignment for argument as soon as the new Associate Justice takes his seat. These cases involve a variety of interesting and di 111 cult legal problems, . and Judge Brown will almost at the start have an opportunity to show his full capabilities. Constitutional questions are at issue in a majority of thee cases, and the delicate relations which the federal government and the States sustain to each other in tbe matter of the application of the interstatecommerce clause of the Constitution will come np in several forms iu these suits: Among tb j cases which tbe court advanced upon the docket, but announced tbfct it would not assign for argument or a particular date until thero is a full bench, re three or four suits brought by express, sleeping-car and telephone companies against the State of Tennessee. The general question at issue in them is tbe constitutionality of State laws imposing license taxes on tbe agents of these companies, especially when none bat interstate business is performed. An original package liquor case from Kansas is also awaiting argument, and the court, after once hearing counsel at length in an important mining suit from Colorado, has made an order announcing that it desires the case reargned before a full bench, and has advised counsel to have plans and models of mining veins and lodes to exhibit, in order that a complete understanding of the controversy may he reached. This case, which was originated by the Iron Silver Mining Company is of great importance thronghont the Western mining regions. Another suit on the docket awaiting assignment is of ery general interest. The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company has refused to comnly -with an order of the Interstate-commerce Commission forbidding the making of special rates to dramatic organizations, and it is pnrposcul by the pending snit to review some of the most, important provisions of the interstate-commerce law.

States Clamoring fur the Return of the Money The7 Contributed to Prosecute the War. 8 peel l to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Jan. 2. A strong argument is being presented to the House committee on rules in favor of tbe early adoption of the direct-tax bill. The pressure comes mostly from Representatives of various States directly interested in the adoption of the measure. They argue that this money should bo voted into the various State treasuries so that the States may be able to make proper exhibits at tbe world's fair. Three or four States which would receive the largest benefits from the adoption of the bill have empty treasuries, and it is urged that unless something is done to give them some ready cash they will not be able to make proper representation at the world's fair. The committee on rules refuses to express an opinion as to whether the directtax bill will be taken np for consideration. The Republicans have pledged themselves to the eupportof tfre measure by pushing it vigorously in the past two or three CongTer.dCS. but the condition of tbe surplus at this time has led the committee on rules to delay action, and if the bill is not pressed to a final consideration it will be because the committee on rules believes the surplus will not warrant the expenditure. , 31 IN O It MATTERS.

PATCHING UP THEIR PARTY

Various Opinions on the Prosressof the Irish Nationalist Negotiations. Invitation to Gladstonians The Horrors of Baby Fanning Terrible Trajedj at a Children's Fete. IRISH. NEGOTIATIONS. Dillon Dissents from the Supposed Result of the Agreement Parnell in Dublin. E peels! to tbe Indianapolis Journal. London, Jan. 2. A telegram from Paris states that Mr. Dillon has cabled Mr. O'Brien advising him notto accept the pro posals of Mr. Parnell, invoking Mr. O'Brien's acceptance ot tne lrisu leaaersmp tempo rarily, under an understanding that Mr. Parnell should be the power behind the throne and should soon return to actual leadership. Mr. Dillon is said to have confined himself to merely recording hi opinion without any urging, leaving Mr. O'Brien to act on his judgment with as little outside influence as possible. It is stated from the same quarter that the only immediate practical outcome of the conference has been that an agreement is reached whereby certain funds on deposit in Paris may be used by representatives of both factions for the good of Ireland. Mr. Parnell, it is further stated, has instructed Mr. Harrington to draw at once on the fund under this agreement. The action of Bishop O'Callahan, of Cork, in refusing to permit the installation of Mayor Gorgan at tho Catholic Cathedral has worked np the Parnollite feeling to frenzy, not in Cork alone, but in Limerick and Dublin. Timothy Harrington denounces it as a high outrage, not upou Mayor Gorgan alone, but upon the people of Cork, and as a virtual ukase on the part of the clergy that they claim tbe unlimited right of dictation in Irish politics. John O'Connor, who is in charge of Parnell'a United Ireland, is equally outspoken, and protests that the action of tbe Bishop will react with decisive iniluence upon the enemies of Mr. Parnell. Mr. Parnell has arrived in Dublin, and is holding a long conference with Mr. Timothy D. Harrington. M. P., and with Dr. Joseph Kenny. M. P. It is understood there that the conference between Messrs. Parnell and O'Brien will be resumed at Boulogne-sur-Mer ' on Tuesday next. Messrs. Harrington and Gill, and probably Mr. Sullivan, are expected to be present at the conference. It is stated by the Freeman's Journal that the accounts of what is supposed to havo taken place at the liouloccoe conference are not founded on fact. Thero is nothing to say, says the Journal, in regard to the conference, except that it whs an uninterrupted one of nine hours on Tuesday and of several hours on Wednesdiiy. The opinion can only be repeated that when Messrs. Parnell and O'Brien confer in friendliness there is great hope that all men can do to induce a settlement and secure tho safety of the Irish cause will be done. Echoes of the Late Campaign. Dublin, Jan. 2. At the City Hall, yesterday, after Lord Mayor Meade had been installed, the "gallery gods" sang an improvised song to the ellect that it would be advisable to "Hanjt . Tim Healy on a sour apple tree." This musical suggestion was repeatedly cheered to the echo by the socalled "Hillside men," who were present at the installation ceremonies. Three priests and eighteen prominent laymen of Castle Comer; have signed a letter, which has been sent to the Freeman's Journal, denying the statement made by the Journal as to the existence of organized boycotting during tne recent election in North Kilkenny. The signers of this letter also challenge the Freeman's Journal or the government to prosecute them. LONDON ISABY-FAK3UNO. Horrors "Worse than Dickens Ever Iiuagied Found by the Police., J""'' London, J an. 2. The metropolises constantly being horrified by the discovcry'of 'baby-farms," where iufants are treated in the most cruel manner, but in srvite of the metropolitan police these disgraceful institutions ilourish, and apparently are only discovered by accident. At Brixton, a pbr tion of this city on the Surrey, side of the Thames, a woman who gave the name of Mrs. Reeves, and who is known to have figured under several aliases, was arrested, on the complaint of her neighbors, for carrying on the illegal business known as "baby-farming." When the police searched her residence they found eight emaciated, filthy, sickly babies crowded into one small, ill-ventilated room. , . ; " Apparently tbe infants were in a starving condition. In spite of the fact that the poor children were immediately given tbe best medical attention, and that they were removed to healthier surroundings, it is feared that some of them will die from the eliecta of the course of neglect and starvation to which they have been subjected by the woman. Mrs. Reeves, in any case, will be prntecuted to the full extent of the law. and should one of the children dje the charge of murder may be made against the "baby farmer." The police are doing their utmost to find the parents of the unfortunate infants. i INVITED INTO THE TORY CAMP. Gladstone's Followers Asked to Join In Organizing a Solid English Party. London, Jan. 2,The Daily Telegraph (Conservative), in its issue of to-day, invites the followers of Mr. Gladstone to reoognizo manfully the distasteful fact that home rule for Ireland is defunct. The present policy of the Liberal party, the Telegraph thinks, is certain to give way to a different programme, whilothe party itself will at the samo time have to make new combinations. "After the next election," says the Telegraph, "home rule will be barely represented in Parliament, and will sink to the level of Radical fads, socialism, total abstinence and the anti-vaccination craze. Crochet mongers wo always have among us, but as the English party, in the largest sense of the word, is co-extensive with the two great political connections which have divided Parliament between them since the beginning of the constitution period, tbe Home-rule party has forever perished. Tbe party going to the couutry on the Home-rule platform would court disaster." The same paper further urges the Gladstonians to "discard vain imaginings and to return to the ancient ways of liberalism." and advocates the rearranging of the parliamentary groups into a great national party on one sido of the House of Commons, a single compact phalanx of patriots, with a common faith in rational progress, tempered by loyalty towards order, good government and legislative honesty; on the other a minority of restless, powerless Irish separatists, and English Socialists and those advocating headlong revolutionary changes, destruction, disorder and spoliation, either by act of Parliament or by municipal decree. FETE TURNED INTO A TRAGEDY. Children Burned to Death by the Firing of Their Tinsel Costumes. London, Jan. 2.' Further particulars received to-day from Wortley, near Leeds, show that the terrible scenes witnessed at the school fete there were in no way exag-. gerated, though the cause of tbe disaster was not the falling of a string of Chiuese lanterns, as at first supposed. The school fete referred to was a charity bazaar held under the auspices of the parish of Wortley. The building used for the fete was the church school adjoining the Wortley Epis copal Church. Part of the programme of the bazaar's attraction was a series of living tableaux, in which a number of the young girls and boys of tbe parish took part. For this display a small stage was erected in the school-room, and to the right of the stage and opening . upon It was a room used ai a

dressing-room or green-room by the children. Inside this dressing-room, just before the disaster, a crowd of joyous children were gathered, all the girls of the - party being in light, gauzy attire and many of the them covered in addition with cotton used to represent snow. In addition, several of the children carried; dangling' on sticks above their heads, lighted Chinese lanterns. The tableau then preparing was-intended tosymbolizetbe winter lrolicsot the "mummers" in days gone by. Suddenly shrieks of terror issued from the little dressingroom and all were horror stricken to see a number of children rush upan the stage with their costumes on tire. The gentlemen promptly seized the burning children, threw them upon tbe stage and smothered the flames. Up to the present - there are four deaths recorded as the result of the disaster and several of tbe injured children are not expected to recover. " Investigation into the cause of tbe disaster shows that while the -children were gathered in the dressing-room, preparatory to making their appearance on the stage.one of the little girls, who was playing with a lighted lamp, ac cidentally set tire to her clothes. She uttered a cry of terror, tried to extingnish the flames with her bands and rushed towards the door leading to the stage. Her cries and the sight of the flames caused a panic among the children, who also made a rnsh for the door mentioned. The result was that a crowd of children were crushed around the child, whose clothes were already in flames, and thereby ignited the clothing of twenty -three other children. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.

A Handful of Peruvians Try to Get Up a Revolution, and Die tn the Attempt. - New York, Jan. 2. Advices from Peru give details of an attempt at revolution .which occurred at Lima on Deo. 3. Pierola, the Bonlanger of Peru, had been quietly at work for some time among the lower classes endeavoring to create a revolution which would place him in the position of dictator. On the afternoon of Dec 3 several of Pie rola's chosen followers obtained ad mission to Fort Santa Catalina with about eighty men. A signal was given, and the insurrectionists suatieniy iook. jiubbcosiuu of the fort. The government troops were called out, and for two hours a tierce battle watred. which ended in a defeat for the revolutionists. The Peruvian consul said to-day there was no fear of further outbreak. The correspondents of W. R. Grace & Co. make liuht of the trouble and say there is no further danger of a revolution. Sev-entv-tive of the insurrectionists were killed in the fight at the fort Emln Likely to lie Sustained. Special to tbe Indianapolis- Journal. London, Jan. 2. There is a strong feelinc in Berlin' in favor of sustaining Emin against Baron Wissinann in Africa, Emin's vigorous proceeding having strongly ap pealed to the Kaiser's warlike instincts. It is not certain - as yet that WissmannV action will be approved. The Kaiser is said to have recently ex pressed himself privately to the effect that what was needed in such colonization work as Germany has on hand in Africa was less discipline ana meinoaicai plodding, and more boldness and original undertaking. He is even Bald to have gone so far na to compare German colonizers un favorably with English, and to say that the methods suitable lor nome military service did not seem to work satisfactorily in the development of new and distant ldminiHtrations over uncivilized peonies. For this reason he is thought to be likely to view with leniency any unaue aaventurousness on the part of Emin in the interest of German extension. Russian Foreign Spy System London, Jrp. 2. Since the murder of General Seliverskoft the Russian foreign police have been reorganized. Tbe central office continues in Paris, but agencies have been created in Zurich, Berne, Geneva, Mentone and Montpelier.

Wants the Church In French Politics. Pauis, Jan. 2. Bishop Freppel, at a reception which be gave yesterday to the clergy of the diocese of Angers, made an address to bis guests in which he declared that the campaign of the irreligious Frenchman against tho church, although now less glaringly conducted, was still continued. The form of the government, he said, had nothing to do with the matter. He was of the conviction that Catholics must organize, not as a party, but under tbe direction of their bishops, and "wrest from Freemasons and Free-thinkers rights and liberties of which they h; to 'een deprived." German Mine Horror. Berlin, Jan. 2. A dispatch from Bochnn, Westphalia, announces that a disastrous explosion has taken place in a coal-pit at that place. The total number of lives lost is unknown.

They report nine men as killed and say that ten others are not expected to survive their injuries. Chamberlain Loneiome In His Views. London, Jan. 2. Tho English LiberalUnionists, esnecially the working class, are giving open expression to their dissent from the assertion of Mr. Joseph Chamberlain that the alliance with the Tories should be maintained, irrespective of Irish home rnlc, as against what he calls anarchy and English nihilism. In the large manufacturing towns this view is especially repudiated, the voters of the party claiming that while .they suppoit the integrity of the empire, they cannot pledge themselves to any alliance with the Tories that goes beyond that.' Scotch Engineers Returning to Work. Glasgow, Jan. 2. Fifty: engine-drivers who left the employ of the North British railroad when the strike was declared, haye resumed work on the company' terms.

London, Jan. 2. According to trade statistics published to-day 26.000 worth of Sheffield cutlery was exported during the past quarter, as against 74,000 during the previous quarter.

Secretary Proctor and General Schofleld . Hopeful About the War. Sveclal to the Indianspolis JournaL Washington, Jan. 2,Secretary Proctor and. General Scboiield both expressed the opinion, to-day, that the backbone of the Indian war in the Northwest was broken, and that it would be but a few days before the settlers would have assuranoe of safety. They acknowledged that the desertion of some of the friendlies about the Pine Ridge agency and their location in the Bad Lands looks embarrassing, but they believe the next positive movement of tbe military forces will rout the worst of the enemy and bring about a speedy termination of the difficulties. General Schofield ventured the opinion that it was never tbo intention of the Indians to make war. He thought tho dances and the Messiah craze, in the first place,, were intended to be harmless, but that, during the past few days, the Indians had come to tbe conclnsion that they were to he disarmed for all time, and,-not having sufficient provision, they feared suffering from the want of food, and therefore preferred to fight their way out of the situation. Secretary Proctor said that the department would furnish more arms to the settlers threatened by the Indians if it was deemed necessary by the State officers, and that the Governors of Nebraska and South Dakota need not hesitate to call upon the department for assistance if an emergency should arise.
