Kvcry newspaper on either bldo hi Durham , Yorkshire , Lanca shire , or tlio border counties , prints accounts of the excitement ovci the question In tlio United Slates. That veteran , Joseph Cowan , who refused to enter parliament at the tlmo of tlmlastelections , has been much .sought after hero to-day for an expression of his views , remarked that nil the evidence goes to show that the geminent ] mean to persist In their headlong course ; that they mean to face tlio consequence of their cross policy. They will illller from other governments that have plajcd at the name gnmo If they have not to repent , lie also added that the government , by aid of cloture , will no doubt pet their repressive measure , but It will fnll , ns all similar measures have failed. It would appear that every Kngllsh party bccomcsdemonted when they coma to deal with Ireland , notwith standing the bitter , humiliating axpetienco of n generation. They will rccognl/o the truth of the axiom , endorsed by all history , that It'S ' Impossible to extinguish a national idea by lon'al enactment. The Irisli people arc resolved to llvo their own life , to manage their affairs In their own wny , anil there Is no power in Englnnd to prevent them. The sooner this conclusion Is accepted and acted upon the bettor It will be , botli for England and lor licland. Air.

ISpccial Telegram to the Br.K.j A bitter contention has ex isted foi some tiino between Second Comp troller , Maynard , now assistant secretary of the treasury , and Secretary of War Kndlcott. Secretary Kndlcott has demanded that tlio accounts of Surgeon Billing.- ; , Lieutenant Uay and Captain Wheeler for mileage while traveling abroad , which wore disallowed , be referred to the court of claims. This the second comptroller refused to do , leplying that tlio claims weie definitely determined , that they were disallowed and the papers tuincdo\er to the second auditor , and theio the matter ended. Secretary Endicott then stated that it the second comptroller would not refer the claims to the court of claims for ho himself would do it , to ' Jlr. Maynard replied just before iavlng the comptroller's ofllco to go ito that of the assistant secretary t the treasury , and ho closes his Htcr thus : "If the secretary ot war as any doubt with refeicnco to tlio cor- ectness of his own views upon any or all of he abstract questions of the law propounded ii his letter , the opinion of the court of claims hercon might bo of value to him , but as this ftlco has no doubt and so far as it can bo earned this department has none with refer- ncc to tlio conectness of the adjustment of he accounts relericd to , It Is not seen how a 'eferenco ol these cases by another depart- ncnt to the court of claims can affect the past r control future action of the treasury de- lartmcnt thereon.

" " 1 guess jou are able to cope with most any kind ot a machine , " said Ilavorly , icfer- rlng to political machines. " 1 hope you are , for I want to help you If you arc not. " The president saw the point to the pun and rctoited : "I presume 1 can handle them If I want to. That's a question : Do 1 want to ? " "I'm thinking ot buying n little homo icre. " remarked llaverly , and am glad to Jeain that you have done so much to help the boom In real estate in Washington by your purchase and support. " The president made no reply and blushed , and Mr. Haverly was puzzled thereat. When he related that part of the conversation with the president and was told the president con sidered his support of tlio re.il estate boom a very delicate subject , owing to the Massachu setts avenue scandal , the minstrel blushed and expressed regret at his observation. When asked if tin invited tlio picsldent to at tend his show to-night , llaverly said , "No ; 1 Intended to when 1 went to see tlio piesldent , but after talking to him a little while J con cluded it would bo in bad taste , as tills is holy week and ho might have some religious scruple about attending shows now.

It is reported that the piesldent has been persuaded to take Into .serious consideration the advisability of appointing ex-Congress man Bucknt'r , of Missouil , a successor to United States Treasurer Jordan. It Is under stood that such an appointment woul tend to remove certain disagreeable - able complications in democratic politics in Missouri , and It is rcpicsented it might at tlio same tlmo help the piesident's prospects in that state. It is represented that Uuckner is in hearty accord with the administration In regard ta the sil ver and currency questions. It Is probable also that ho has modified his opinions some what in regard to the oatsonal banking sys tem , but his appointment as treasurer would hardly bo regarded with favor by the friends ot that spstem , EHE COMING TliKASUTtUn. Itepresentatlvu Outhwalto and other promi nent Ohio democrats who have talked to President Cleveland on the subject to-day do not think Theodore Cook , of Cin cinnati , will bo appointed treasurer of the United States as announced last week It would bo done.
