CIIICAOO , March28. f
Hon. Mark I. . McDonald of Santa Hosu ,
world's fair commissioner at largo from Cali
fornia , said at the Grand Pacific today that
Mrs. Gougar's story about the Junketing
done by members of tbo Hearst funeral party
was false and shameful.
"Thorn Is not ono word of truth In It. " ho
said. "Tho men who composed the party
could not under any circumstances have been
guilty of so gross an outrage in the natural
BOLSO of decency and towards tbo noble man
wtiow remains they accompanied to his Cali
fornia homo. They were received hospita
bly , as are all guests of California people.
They wcro given some cases of our'wino ,
which they took back with them , a thing
which they could do with perfect propriety ,
This is all the foundation thcro Is for the
story which has been sot afloat about oreles. "
Senator Stockbrldgo , who Is nt tboHlcho-
lieu , and who was referred to by Mrs. Gou-
paras being particularly hilarious , spoke of
it as the veriest sensational rubbish.
"Is she responsiblol" bo asked \\lth a
smllo , referring to Mrs. Gougnr.
"Her story Is absurd all bosh. The
charges she makes con probably bo accounted
for In the fact that the Orafton train was do-
laved some hours at El Paso because mem
hers of our party desired to go across the
river into Olu'MoxIco for a short while.
Whllo being detained their train was side
tracked beside ours and she may have seen
us eating our dinner through the car win
dows.
" \Vinosorvedt Well , yes , I suppose maybe
thcro was some wine , table wina Imbibed , but
there was not the slightest bit of hilarity
exhibited , \Vo were as orderly as could bo
desired. "
Senator Stockbrldgo laughed when asked
if ho and Senator Sawyer conducted them
selves in suoh a manner as to Justify Mrs.
Gougiir in particularly rofcrrltiK to thorn.
"Why , Senator Sawyer ana myself were
the most exemplary men on the train. Saw
yer did not , to my knowledge , drink anything
at all , while I hnvo a national reputation as a
total abstainer. In my Washington house
wine is never served , and nt all the social
gatherings I give guests como knowing that
they will receive no wine. "
When asked about Senntor Vance , who
was also mentioned by Mrs. Gougar , Senator
Stockbrldgo said :
"Vnnco was not in the pnrty on the return
trip. Ho loft us after the funeral ceremonies
wcro over In San Francisco and went up to
Oregon. Wo wont down to Palo Alto , Sena-
ttr Stanford's place , and after a short stay
there came on to El Paso , where the Orafton
train \\tis waiting for us to pass thorn.1 '

Kx-Congrossmuu Thomas H. Carter of
Montana bus been tendered the vacant gen
eral land commlsslonership and will undoubt
edly accept It , Mr. Cattor took lunch with
the president yesterday , and during his hour
with the chief executive was told that ho
could succeed Judge GrofT 1C ho desired the
pluco. This turn of affairs was not altogether
unexpected to Mr. Carter. Ho had been
given Intimations of it several days ago , and
the fact got Into nrlnt. A largo number
of telegrams wcro received from his
Montana filends urgina him to accept. Ho
tolJ the president that ho preferred to
return to his law practice at Helena , which
Is largo and lucrative , but ho stated that In
view of the many appeals from hU friends
throughout the country and especially from
Montana , and the fact that the plnco was
tendered as a special compliment to his now
state , which Is largely interested in the
public domain , ho would Ilkoly accent. Ho
asked for three or four days In which to do-
cldo. Tonight it Is known from information
not far from Mr. Carter that ho will accept.
Thomas H. Carter Is thirty-seven years old
only , but hols one of the best lawyers In the
west. Ho has for many years been promi
nently at the front In all matters affecting the
Dubllo domain. Ho is honest , the trlond of
the settler , not the tool of corporations , and
will bo faithful to the government without
working hardships upon those who occupy
public lands. Ho was elected as n delegate
to the Fifty-llrst ( the last ) congress ,
but beioro taking his scat was
elected a congressman , Montana hav
ing been admitted to statehood.
Ho rcndciod conspicuously good service upon
the committees on mines and mining and
coinage , weights and measures , and took a
prominent part in al matters pertaining to
public lands and the torritorics. The presi
dent tendered the place to Mr. Carter as n
special compliment to the new stiUo , and It
will give universal satisfaction. It Is under
stood that Nebraska , in view of the tender to
Mr. Carter , will withdraw her recommenda
tion before his appointment is made , so that
It may ho by unanimous consent. Mr. Car
ter Is a man of the highest posslblo character
and settlers will find that ho comes up fully
to the blirh standard of appointments fixed
by President Harrison.

Glover counterfeit.
WASHINGTON , March 28. A sensation has
been caused at the treasury dupartment by
the discovery of a counterfeit $2 silver certifi
cate so nearly perfect as to bo almost impossi
ble of detection. Paper with silk thread
through it is for the first time almost perfect
ly Imitated in the countorfoitjust discovered.
So far as Is now known It has been used in
counterfeiting the $3 certificate of
the series of 18bO. It Is estimated
that there nro nnw nearly MU.OOO.OOO
of these notes In circulation , and the problem
before the treasury department Is how to got
thorn back Into tno treasury and substitute n
now scries without embankment before any
considerable quantity of thucountorfoit notes
got into circulation. This was the subject of
a secret conference at the treasury depart
ment this afternoon between Secretary Fos
ter and the leading ofllclals of the bureau of
engraving and printing. It was practically
decided to suspend the printing of 3 silver
certificates and Institute a now series of the
same denomination. These will contain a
vignette of Secretary Windom and bo Issued
soon as the necessary plates can bo en
graved. It will take about two months to
propnrotho plates , and In the meantime tbo
government will exert its utmost endeavors
to secure and destroy the plates and'other
paraphernalia used in the manufacture of
counterfeits.
'Jim Washington National's Affairs.
WASHINGTON , March 28. Comptroller
Laeey today received the ofllcinl report of
Examiner Hepburn In regard to the Wash
ington National bank of New jfork. but ro-
fuscd to disclose it contents , lie lias ad
dressed a communication to Hepburn , sug
gesting that only two courses are open If n
receivership is to Do avoided. In the first
pluco tbo comptroller can levy nn assess
ment of 50 per cent upon the capital stock ,
which would reinforce the assets of the bank
bv $150,000. This could only bo done , how
ever , in case tbo directors and largo stock
holders would agree to advance for share
holders not prepared for immediate payment.
In case this amount was paid in the comp
troller would permit the bank to resume
business , and the amounts duo depositors
and creditors would bo immediately availa
ble. In case resumption is ImpractlcaDlo , thfi
comptroller sucgosts tuat $ . ! 57,000 In addi
tion to the Immediate available assets al
ready In hand would enable the bank to pay
Its creditors promptly in full , whereupon
they could vole to go into voluntary liquida
tion and close the affairs of the bank them
selves. This might bo raised upon n pledge
of the loam and discounts of the bank , sup
plemented If necessary by the personal guor-
nnteo of the larger shareholders. If onn of
these plans is not adopted It will bo his duty
to appoint a receiver and dose the bank up
in the usual way.

LOXDOX , March 23. [ Now York Herald
Coble Special to TUB BKE. ] TCaster finds
England's ' sovereign ami prime minister both
on Trench soil , most of the ministry scattered
over Europe , and scarcely anybody loft to
look after the government except the perma
nent heads of departments.
Balfour Is enjoying himself immensely.
His oocupitlon Is almost entirely gone , in
consequence of the utter collapse of tao ] Irhh
pnrty. Not for years has the chief secretary
sailed his bark In such smooth water.
I see no prospect of the Irish brigade re
forming the broken ranks or making any
flpht in parliament this year. Their weapons
nro levelled at each other's throats , interne-
warfare grows hotter every day , and
but for the presence of the constabulary and
military there would bo civil waY in Ireland
in less than a month , and all about a woman.
Well may the friends of Ireland wring their
hands hi despair.
From the bc-st Information that reached
mo I Judco that Parncll is losing ground in
Ireland for practical political purposes ,
though the shouting mob is still with htm.
If ho cannot carry the elections ho is lost.
Ills friend } confess fears on that point , hence
his back falling about the contest ho volun
tarily challenged In Cork , his supporters
having Informed him that the chance of suc
cess is bad. When the emergency comes the
iriflucnco of the priests will likely dccido the
day , as In Kllkcnnoy. A similar result Is
conlldently predicted in Sllgo , In this case
Parnell's ' present followers in parliament
will take alarm and drop off , leaving him
shorn of power. Hut the divisions have
shown that every constituency must paralyze
Irish action sometime. Even T. P. O'Con
nor fools it. In Liverpool a largo section of
the constituency is declaring for Parncll.
This must result In considerable gain for the
tory party at the next election , who will
snatch at all contested scats.
The parliamentary feeling Is strongly In
favor of making every possible concession to
the claim of Newfoundland , K nuts ford alone
remaining dogged and sullen. Ho and Ralkes
share between them nil the unpopularity of
the ministry , but the postmaster general will
wisely como to nn arrangement with the mes
senger companies. The public approves of
the facilities given them by the companies ,
and what is equally important to many mem
bers of parliament , to have boxes at their
houses.
To admit that Rallies is gaining a majority
in his support of Knutsford's case Is less sat
isfactory. Ho has always taltpu an extreme
bcaurocratlo view of colonial affairs and
now thinks that throats and big words will
scare the Newfoundlanders. Lord Salisbury
Is moro amenable to reason. To him
delegates should anneal. The removal of
Knutsford would glvo much satisfaction
hero. In any case Newfoundland will neither
bo deserted nor given up by either political
party , still less by the people.
I learn on good authority that Gladstone
is meditating a totally now departure , hoping
to bring something like order out of the pre
vailing chaos. This policy would involve the
grand labor problem , a general review of tax
ation and the abandonment of all homo rule
schemes for the term of Gladstone's life.

AH Alleged Pupal Scheme.
Loxnos , March 28. [ Special Cablegram to
THE BEB.J Prominent Irishmen are com
menting bitterly on the news from Rome
that the pope is again endeavoring to make a
handle of the Irish cause to compel a diplo
matic concession from Great Britain to the
Vatican. According to trustworthy advices
from Rome the object of sending for Arch
bishop Walsh was not to ascertain the con
dition of Ireland , but to find out how far that
condition could be used for papal purposes.
It is said that the papal proposition is that
Ireland shall virtually abandon the demand
for homo rule , contenting Itself with the pro
vincial councils or something of that sort ,
and the British government in return for this
concession secured through the Influence of
the church , shall follow the example
of other loading European countries and sta
tion HP ! ambassador at the Vatican. Arch
bishop Walsh Is said to bo in a most embar
rassing position between his devotion to homo
rule and his duty to the head of the church.
His friends hope that ho will succeed in con
vincing the pontiff that such a programme is
Impossible in the present temper of the Iristi
people and wouia simply Involve injury to
the church without any compensation in the
way of the coveted diplomatic arrangement.
The Newfoundland Troubles ,
Losnox , March 23. [ Special Cablegram to
Tuc BBK. ] The Newfoundland question
grows hotter and hotter as each now contro
versialist enters the scono. Sir Charles
DllKo'sarticlo in the Speaker supporting the
claims of Newfoundland and upholding the
acts of tlio colonists has caused a
real sensation and raised a storm
of opposition. Tbo majority of the
morning papers protest vigorously
against it as making too much of n minor
issue and needlessly weakening the govern
ment in Its dealings with Franco. They de
nounce the whole affair as a paltry lobster
row ana ndvlso the government to pursue Its
course regardless of the claims and protests
of the colonists. They want to know if Sir
Charles is prepared to follow tno consequences
quences of his article and face a war with
Franco. The Spectator calmly reviews the
situation. It admits that the colonists have
cause for anger. Suffering under a griev
ance of00 years' standing , iron has entered
their souls. England must do something to
satisfy their just demands.

depreciation of Hlsmurck's criticisms on tha

of the Interview which the late Prlnco Na
poleon is said to have hud with Prlnco Bis
marck In ISfXJ was related to the Marquis ilo
Vlllencuvo by Pnnco Napoleon , who read the
marquis' written notes and authorized their
publication before his death. After Prlnco
Bismarck , as already cabled , had stated his
design to Prince Napoleon , that is , for Franco
and Germany combined to practically control
all Europe , Prlnco Napoleon snld :
"Franco would have to receive for her
share in the transaction the Hhlno frontier. "
Prince Bismarck replied : "I thought so ,
but thnt is Impossible. Public opinion would
never consent to the cession of a single Ger
man village. Would you like Belgluml"
Prlnco Napoleon Wo might tnluot that ,
but how about Kngluml !
Prince Bismarck I don't care n rap for
what England could say ; what can she dot
She could not mobilize over 100,000 or at most
159,000 men. Well , are wo not strong
enough together to sweep them into the

Prlnco Napoleon Would it not bo useful to
Jot down those Ideas on paper to make a
memorandum that could bo shown to the
emperor }
Prlnco Bismarck You would like a signed
secret treaty.Vhat \ would bo the use If
the pact is to my advantage I will oxccuto It

contrary case ( A gesture finished the
sentence. ] .
The chancellor added that ho had not
spoken to Emperor Napoleon in such plain
terms because Napoleon was a woman.
Prlnco Napoleon told the chancellor that
ho would Inform the emperor of the conver
sation In the following terms ;
"Sire , Prince Bismarck proposes a great
net of knavery. We can't arrest him and
take htm before tno police commissioner } ' ;
then let us bo knaves with him. "
The Marquis do Vlllonouvo concluded by
snylnpr that Prlnco Napoleon returned to
Paris and advised the emperor to invade
Belgium the day Prussia dQdared war on
Austria , but the emperor's love of peace and
justice , which the chancellor had termed
"absurdities , " carried the day In the mind of
Napoleon.

UEHI.IN , March ' . ' 3. Suml-oniclalorgans are
advised to Ignore the ronouod war alarm and
not to notice reports coming from various
sources which indicate early ngrcsslvo action
in the part of Franco and Russia. Persons
high In ofllcial circles refuse to say more
.bun that the intentions of Russia to abandon
aer attitude of reserve linvo been for some )
Inio known to the chiefs of tuo drutbuml and
.lint . nothing can happen for which they nro
unprepared.
The recent Indiscreet assertion of Signer
Crisp ! , ex-Italian premier , that war was cer-
aln to occur during the current year , has
illcitcd from official papers at Vienna comment -
ment to tbo effect thnt Slgnor Crlspl U no
' .ongorin the secret of great events , and has
become incompetent to prophesy , and that
at ho says ought not to disturb the trim-
iiulllty of Europe.
This sort of denial , however , Is not roa
surlug , ns the fallen statesman is known to
possess ample information regarding every
thing relating to both the political and mill-
ary powers of Europe.
It Is believed in Uulcarta 'that the murder
of M. Bnllchiff , minister of litmnco , is tno
opening of a game of secret Intrlguo pre
ceding an open conflict.
The conferring by Prcsklcfft Carnet
of the gr.md cross of the legion of
honor upon llaron Do Mohronhclm. Russian
ambassador at Paris , is merely p.irtof the
oncruleffusion of tha alliance and of the en
dearments exchanged between Franco and
Russia. The czar today decorated M. Briols ,
military i.ttncho of the French legation , per
sonally presenting him with the order , sot
with brilliants , and also giving him a rare
malachite vase and n portrait of himself and
the czarina. Briols will shortly return to
Paris. Ho Is thoroughly conversant with.
Russia's project for tbo mobilisation of forces
and upon his return to Parts some schema
for simultaneous action will bo agreed upon
by the French war ofllco. It Is for this rea
son that the czur has conferred 11(1011 ( him a ,
distinction never before accorded a military
attache.
In an interview had with General Obront-
chcuf today by a representative of the
rclchstug tbo general declared that the un
ceasing rapidity of Russian preparations will
enable the czar before the close ot tbo pres
ent year to abandon his attitude of pcaco
and force any" issue he may dcoin necessary
to obtain his ends. I
Uudor the head line "Strategic March of
Kussla Wcstward , " the Kelchsrote details
the concentrating movements of Russian
troops cantoned in Poland , Padolla and Vol.
hynla provinces ) Which now form ono vast
camp.
The government bill which Is now in
course of preparation for siimnts-jlon to the
landtag , dealing with the Guclph fund , will
bring Into publicity the hidden history of
Bismarck's disposal of largo sunu. If the
Frclsinnlgo party get a chance ttio wbolQ
secret of payments to tbo press and police by
Bismarck's agents , If they were drawn from
the fund , will become a matter of
public account. Inborn ! paper * nro
already trying to trnio the pay
ment. No ono suggests that the princq
used the money for other than political pur
poses , but the organ of the liberals demands
that the ox-chancellor bo compelled to raako
restitution for 3. > 0,000 marks given Dr. Voa
BtBttlcher and other payments drawn from
the fund.
The candidate of the Frolshmlgo party for
the relchstag in Gmsteuuiudi ) , finding
no support , has withdrawn , leaving the
contest to Bismarck and the socialist
candidate. Nobody doubts that the prlnco
will receive a great majority. The warmth
of his reception at Altona and the extent of
the preparations throughout the country for
the celebration of the seventy-sixth anni
versary of his blrtli .on Wednesday urovo the
unabated popularity of tbo prince. The so
ciety of German industrials will present the
prince with B- silver table sorvlco of 1m-
tnmiKn x'liluoTho subscrlntlons for this
wore so grout as to eunblo the committee to
purchase a piei-o of land adjoining Fned-
rlchsruhc , which will bo added to the
prince's dominion. With growing doubts as
to the emperor's callow wisdom being n poor
subbtituto for the cx-chancollor'.s genius and
experience , national sentiment reawakens
toward Bismarck.
The report that a treaty of commerce with
Austria had boon concluded is premature.
The negotiations are still progressing.
The emperor will go to Stettin on Tuesday
next to Inspect the war ship now being built
there. Thence his majesty will go to Lu-
brcck , Kiel and Altona to visit Count Voa
Waldorseo.
