Annual Report of United States
Treasurer Morgan.
A. Detailed Statement of the Receipt and
Expenditures For the Fiscal Year
Ended Jane 30 A Decrease
In the Net Revenue.
Washington, Nov. 24. The treasurer
of the United States, II. D. Morgan,
has submitted to Secretary Carlisle the
annual report on the operations and
condition of the treasury:
The net ordinary revenues for the
fiscal year ending June SO, cents omit
ted, were $297,722,019, a decrease of
B88,097,609, as compared with the year
before. The net ordinary expendi
tures were 8307,525,279, a decrease of
f 15,952,074. Including the public debt
the total receipts on all accounts were
8724,000,533, and the expenditures 008,
908,552. At the close of business on June 30,
1893, there stood on the books of the
department, charged to the treasurer,
a balance of $733,467,555. Adding to
this the receipts on all accounts gives
$1,462,470,093. as total to be accounted
for, and deducting the expenditures
leaves a balance of $763,565,540 on June
30, 1894. In addition to these balances,
however, there were other liabilities
arising from the postal revenues, from
disbursing oflicers and from other
sources, which brought the total to
$776,041,808 at the former date
and to $904,854,753 at the latter.
After setting aside the amounts
treated as unavailable, the principal
of which are the deposits made at the
states under the law of 1836, there re
mained the sum of 8746,538,655 in 1893,
and the sum of $775,310,559 in 1894, rep
resented by live assets in the several
offices of the treasury and mint, to
gether with deposits in national banks.
Of these balances the sums are $584,
593,920 and $616,155,820 respectively,
were on deposit for the redemption of
outstanding certificates and treasury
notes, leaving $161,994,735 and $159,154,
739 as the balance on account of the
general fund.
The treasurer remarks that the im
pairment of the gold reserve, render
ing necessary the issue of bonds in
February, was caused chiefly by the
depletion of the treasury resulting
from insufficient revenues. Even when
the supply of paper had become so re
duced that the treasury was obliged to
pay out large sums of gold in the ordi
nary disbursements, the coin was free
ly returned in the revenues. The pro
ceeds of this loan were $53,600,000 in
gold coin and certificates, and during
the month of February there were re
deemed $19,200,000 of notes in gold, pre
sumably to meet subscriptions to the
loan, so that the net gold proceeds
were about $39,500,000. This, together
with a gain of $l,500,000 in gold from
ordinary sources, brought up the re
serve, during the month, from $(55,000,
000 to $100,500,000, while the net assets
of the treasury, with an excess of $7,
000,000 of expenditures over receipts for
the month, increased from $125,000,000
to $177,000,000. During the succeeding
months, until the end of the first week
in August, the reserve was affected by
deficient revenues and withdrawals of
gold for export, the movement abroad
having been stimulated by the necessi
ty which the treasury was under of
furnishing toexporters new full weight
after the supply of old pieces had been
exhausted. The lowest point touched
by the reserve was $52,189,500, on Au
gust?, 1894.
Prior to July, 1892, the gold reserve
was but little affected by withdrawals
of coin, there never having been any
considerable demand for the redemp
tion of notes. Even when gold exports
were heavy the metal was furnished by
bankers from their vaults or was ob
tained from the treasury for gold cer
tificates, of course without impairment
to the reserve. During the last two
years, however, the treasury has been
called upon to furnish nearly the whole
of the requirements for exportation,
and there have recently been consider
able withdrawals for other uses.
To the end of September the total
redemptions of United States notes in
gold since the resumption of specie
payments were $181,300,000, and the
total redemption of the treasury notes
in gold from -their first issue were $63,
000,000. The two important events of the
year affecting the condition of the
public debt were the issue of $50,000,-
OCd 5 per cent bonds to replenish the
gold reserve and the stoppage of the
purchase of silver bullion by the issue
treasury notes.
With reference to the retirement of
treasury notes, the treasurer says that
prior to August 1, 1893, the treasury
had been able to provide for the re
demption of treasury notes in silver
dollars out of the holdings of
silver, so that there had not been
up to that time, any impairment of
the total amout of the silver funds ac
cumulated under the act. On the third
of that manth, however, the silver
dollars and bu ill ion in the treasury
had become reduced to the amount re
quired by law to be retained for the
payment of outstanding treasury notes
and certificates and the demand for
the redemption of notes continuing in
consequence of the scarcity of the
ajnall denominations of currency, it
became necessary to draw upon the
dollars coined especially for that pur
pose. The silver fund being thus im
paired the notes so' redeemed were can
celed in order to preserve the required
equality between the silver in the
treasury 'and the notes outstanding.
The total amount of the notes retired
in this way, up to October 31, was $4 -
790.434.
The amount of new issues of United
States paper currency put into circula
tion during the year was $350,959,190"
having been exceeded but once, in 1S93
The amount of worn and mutulated
notes redeemed was $319,002,290. This
h9S also been exceeded but once, in
1893. The total paper circulation
reached its highest point in May last,
when it stood at $1,175,000,000.
Since then there has been a slight
ual redemption and retirement of gold
certificates, the issue of which was

exposition, having finally declined to
defray the expenses of recoining the
Columbian half dollars, which have
found their way into the treasury,

ury p. re retained for the requisition

The amount of counterfeit silver
coins and fractional curre;y detected
at the offices of the treasury during the
year was $10,500, an increase of $9SC
over the year before.
Under the provisionof the last In
dian appropriation act, the face value
of certain defaulted state bonds and
stocks, formerly belonging to the In
dian trust fund, kas been placed upon
the books of the.treasury to the credit
of the several tribes, to draw in
terest at the rate of 5 per
cent, per annum, and the bonds and
stocks have become the property of
the United States. There was an in
crease during the year of $1,552,250 in
the face value of the bonds held on ac
count of the sinking funds of the Pa
cific railroads, which amounted, on
June 30, to $18,960,000.
Notwithstanding a change in the reg
ulations, whereby senders of national
bank notes for redemption were re
quired to bear the charges for trans
portation, the redemptions were the
heaviest since 18S6, amounting to $105,
000,000, or more than half of the aver
age circulation.
OUR TREATY WITH JAPAN.
Points ot Difference Between the Old and
the New.
Washington, Nov. 24. The proposed
new treaty between Japan and the
United States was signed by the secre
tary of state and Minister Kurino yes
terday morning and will be sent to the
senate for ratification on the reassem
bling, December 3.
It replaces the old treaty of 1S53 be
tween the United States and Japan,
and the principal differences from ex
isting conditions are as follows:
The foreign settlements become in
corporated with the general municipal
system of Japan, the foreign consular
authorities being replaced by the Jap
anese judicial authorities. This
sweeps away the extra territoriality
clauses of the existing treaties, which
have been so long repugnant to Japan,
and which made an American who in
fringed Japanese laws amenable to
trial only before an American consul
under American law.
In return for this concession by the
United States, existing limits of travel
for Americans in Japan are abolished,'
and the citizens of the United States
and the subjects of Japan have full
liberty to travel or reside where they
will, enjoj-ing full protection for their
persons or property. This, however,
does not enable Japanese to come to
the United States in violation of our
contract labor laws.
THE MADAGASCAR EXPEDITION.
The Question of Granting a Credit There
for Debated in the 'French Chamber of
Deputies.
Paris, Nov. 21. The chamber of
deputies was crowded yesterday, the
occasion being the debate on the ques
tion of granting a credit for the Mada
gascar expedition. Conspicuous
among the diplomats present was
United States Ambassador Eustis.
The principal speeches were made hy
M. Gaston de Donville-Maillefun, ex
treme left, and M. Andre Lebon, re
publican, both of whom supported the
credit.
M. Julien Dumas, radical republi
can, opposed the credit, and warned
the chamber that the minimum expense
would be likely to reach 200,000,000
francs and the campaign would require
30,000 troops, both monetary and mili
tary requirements being overwhelm
ingly in excess of the credit asked and
the military force authorized. All
this he declared would eventually ben
efit England.
M. Ilonatoux, minister of foreign
affairs, replied to M. Dumas in a speech
whicharoused great enthusiasm and at
its conclusion evoked tremendous ap
plause. PALPABLY ABSURD.

als.
Toronto, Ont., Nov. 24. A dispatch
from Minneapolis Thursday night
stated a secret committee of the Deep
Waterways association, of which C. A.
Howland, of this city, was a member,
had been appointed to bring to fruition
a plan whereby the United States gov
ernment is to be induced to furnish
$2,000,000 required annually for the
maintenance of the Canadian canal
system on condition that the canals be
thrown open to American shipping.
Concerning it Mr. Howland said:
"The dispatch is palpably absurd. It
was evidently sent out by some person
who did not know one iota of the sub
ject about which he was writing."
Mr. Howland says that a meeting
of the executive committee will be
held in Chicago next week, at which
general matters of business will be
discussed and a future plan of cam
paign marked out.
ANOTHER VICTIM
Of the Brutal Tactics of the Football
Field.
Alliance, O., Nov. 24. It became
known Thursday afternoon that Harry
P.ider, the right guard of the Mount
Union college football team, was
severely injured in Monday's game
with the Hiram college eleven, and is
in a critical condition. During the
first half he was kicked on the
back of the head by a Hiram player
in a rush, but pluckily finished the
game. Afterward he became delirious
and at times it takes the strength of four
men to hold him in bed. His physician
says the kick has caused a clot of blood
at the base of his brain. Young Rider
is a son of Dr. W. H. Rider, of Akron,
presiding elder of the Akron district
M. E. church.
The Marriage Contract Between Nicholas
and Alex Signed.
St. Petersburg, Nov. 24. The mar
riage contract of the Czar and Princess
Alix was signed yesterday by M. De
Giers, minister of foreign affairs, and
Count Voronozoff-Dashkoff, minister
of the imperial household. It contains
certain provisions for the bride, both
during the czar's life and in the event
of his death.
Acquitted by the Court and Hanged by a
Mub.
Lanpkum, S. C.,ov. 23. Last night
a negro, charged with having ravished
a white girl in Polk county, N. C,
three days ago, and who was yester
day examined and discharged by the
North Carolina authorities, was brought
across the state line and hanged. His
body was found this morning within a
quarter of a mile of Landrum.

A GREAT SCOUNDREL.
Holmes, the Han of Many Aliases, and
Frlnceipal Conspirator In the Plot
Whereby the Fidelity Mutual Life In
surance Co. was Swindled Ont of SIO,
OOO Proves to Be One of the Greatest
Scoundrels Unhung Pitzel, the Alleged
Dead Man, Said to Have Been Seen In
Chicago.
Philadelphia, Not. 22. All the
parties implicated in the conspiracy
by which the Fidelity Mutual
Life Insurance Co. was defrauded
out of $10,000, except B. F.
Pitezel, the supposed dead man, are
in Philadelphia to-day. H. H. Holmes,
the arch-conspirator, accompanied by
his alleged wife and Mrs. Pitezel, the
latter having with her Meda, her 16-year-old
daughter, and baby boy, ar
rived yesterday from Boston in custody
of Detective Crawford and Special
Agent Perry of the insurance company.
Jephtha D. Howe, the St. Louis
attorney, who is also under in
dictment for being implicated in the
affair, accompanied by his attorney,
Marshall F. McDonald, arrived this
morning.
That Holmes is the most accom
plished and most desperate criminal
that has been taken into custody for
some years is shown by his own con
fessions, which are made not as con
fessions, but simply as giving the story
of his life.
Took a New and Unexpected Turn.
Philadelphia, Nov. 21. The sensa
tional conspiracy against the Fidelity
Mutual Life association, for which
Herman Mudgett, alias Holmes, alias
Howard; Lawyer Jeptha J. Howe, of
St. Louis, and Mrs. Benjamin F. Pitzel
have been indicted, the former and the
latter being under arrest here, took a
new and unexpected turn to-day.
The development was in the nature
of a dispatch received by President
Fouse, of the Fidelity association, from
the concern's Chicago representative,
in which it was stated that Pitzel, the
reported victim, was seen in that city
within two weeks. Pitzel, according
to the dispatch was located in Meyer's
saloon on Sixty-ninth street, in com
pany with a man named Ryan. If
this shall prove to be true, it will con
firm what Holmes, the arch conspira
tor, has persistently adhered to that
Pitzel is alive.
President Fouse is inclined to the be
lief, in view of this information, which
he considers to be thoroughly reliable,
that Pitzel is among the living. "1
think that murder was done," he
stated this afternoon, "but I believe
that the victim was a man other than
Pitzel."
GThen dwellingupon this development
he continued: "Our representative fur
ther says that the Mr. Ilyan, with
whom Pitzel was seen, is a Chicago
business man, who knows Pitzel well.
"Our Chicago man subsequently saw
Ryan, but the latter declared his ina
bility to locate Pitzel, the two having
parted after leaving the saloon."
As Holmes maintains that the three
missing Pitzel children are with their
father, the discovery of the supposed
victim will probably clear up the mys
tery regarding the offspring.
A Third Mysterious Disappearanc Charged
to Holmes.
Chicago, Nov. 22. H. H. Holmes,
the life insurance swindler, now un
der arrest in Philadelphia, is charged
with being the cause of the "mysterious
disappearance of a third woman dur
ing his operations in Chicago. That
person is Miss Kate Durkee and she is
said to have had considerable property.
A year ago creditors of Holmes made a
desperate effort to find out who and
where Miss Durkee was.
It was supposed at that time that she
was an accomplice of Holmes, and that
property illegally obtained was being
transferred into her name. Suddenly
Kate Durkee dropped from sight, and
like the William sisters, has left no
trace behind. George B. Chamberlin,
proprietor of a mercantile library, who
represents a number of Holmes' cred
itors, believes Miss Durkee was mur
dered. "Kate Durkee" was the name signed
to a mortgage on some real estate of
considerable value. The mortgage was
turned over to Chamberlin for the ben
efit of creditors. Shortly after the
mortgage was returned to Holmes at
his request to have a clerical error cor
rected, but the document was never
returned.
At this time the Misses Williams dis
appeared and search for the giver of
the mortgage failed to disclose any
such person. Although Holmes had
given several good references, investi
gation showed that these people had
met a dark woman "who had been in
troduced as Miss Kate Durkee," but
did not know her personally.
Charged with Embezzlement and Bigamy
in St. Fuul.
St. Paul, Minn., Nov. 22. II. n.
Holmes, the insurance swindler, was
formerly a resident of St. Paul. He
practiced law here for a couple of
years and disappeared some four or
five years ago. He had an office in the
old Grand block, and had a great fac
ulty for perpetually getting himself
into scrapes. He was a great dandy,
and at one time sued a Chinese laun
dry for burning a pair of cuffs.
He was finally appointed receiver for
a restaurant on East Seventh street,
and after buying all the goods h,e could
on time and selling them he disap
peared with the proceeds, leaving his
bondsmen in the lurch. He married a
St. Paul woman here, and bigamy is
among the crimes that have been laid
at his door. He was regarded as a very
bright man but a great crook.
Lawyer McDonald Arrives In Philadelphia
Without Howe.
Philadelphia, Nov. 22. McDonald,
the law partner of Howe, reached here
from St. Louis last evening. He
6aid that Howe had gone to Washing
ton to see Senator Cockrell, of Mis
souri, who is an old friend of bis fam
ily, and to enlist his aid in his
difficulty. McDonald added that Howe
had become involved in the case, but
claimed that he had only been indis
creet on account of his youth and in
experience, and had been entrapped by
the crafty Holmes. He says that Howe
will be here this morning.
Resolutions of Regret.
BLTiMor.r., Jd., Nov. 22. The di
rectors of the Maryland Horse Show
association adopted a resolution re
gretting the attack made upon John
A. Logan, Jr., one of the exhibitors at
the Baltimore horse show, by Martin
O'Brien, huntsman of the Elk Ridge
club, which occurred ten days. ago.
The resolution also excludes Martin
O'Brien from exhibiting at future
shews of the Baltimore association, or
from having the care of any horses
which may be exhibited by others. A
copy of the resolutions will be for
warded to Mr. Logan.
CAPT. DUNN'S VERSION.
He Says the Nets Lifted Were in Canadian
Waters and Will Prove It by Americans
He Was Very Careful to Keep on Mis
Own Side of the Line, and is Ready to
Meet the American Authorities.
Detroit, Mich., Nov. 22. The Cana
dian cruiser Petrel arrived at Windsor
yesterday morning. She had on board
102 American fishing nets, which, it is
claimed, had been seized in Canadian
waters near Middle island last Satur
day. Capt. Dunn has not yet received in
structions from Ottawa how to dis
pose of them. The fish in the nets
were sold.
When Capt. Dunn was, yesterday
morning, asked about the charge that
he had taken the nets from American
waters, he replied: "That is a great
mistake. I had been informed by
Canadians and by Americans who have
e.Nensive fishing interests along the
Canadian shore, that Americans were
fishing in our waters, and when I
swooped down on them Saturday I
found it to be a fact. One or two
American tugs were engaged in lifting
nets, and at the sight of the Petrel
they dropped everything and steamed
away. If not guilty, why were they
In such a hurry to get away.
"I took an American chart and
went carefully over the ground. Where
I found nets wholly in Canadian wa
ters I lifted them without question,
unless I was fully convinced that the
owner had put them there uninten
tionally. If the net was on the line,
and was laid toward Canadian waters,
I ripped it up right to the line and left
that portion which lay in American
waters.
"In all cases where appearances in
dicated that the fishermen had violated
the law without knowing it. I gave
them the benefit of the doubt and did
not take up their nets. I worked there
until dark Saturday, and when I went
back Monday every blessed net left
had been removed.
"When the matter comes up for in
vestigation by the American authori
ties, I will introduce as evidence, some
letters from fishermen living in Cleve
land and Sandusky that will have an
important bearing on the ease."
CANADA ANNEXED.
Connected with the United States by an
International Gas Main.
Detroit, Mich., Nov. 22. The last
section of the big international gas
main was hauled across the river yes
terday and the nose of the pipe line is
now on the Canadian shore thirty feet
beyond the water's edge. It is ex
pected that gas will be flowing through
it by Saturday night.
In spite of the fact that several an
noying delays occurred during the
progress of the work, the laying of the
pipe from shore to shore occupied less
than a week, the first length being
started into the water late last Wednes
day afternoon. It is considered a great
engineering achievement.
The workmen at once began prepar
ations to lay a second line across the
river. The second main will be the
same size as the first and will be kept
for use in case of accident to the main
just completed. The engineers expect
to escape many of the annoyanees in
cident to the laying of the first main
as they will profit by the experiences
of the past week.
ONE OF THE BENEFITS
Of the Extension of the Civil-Service Rules
to Ocean Mall Clerks.
Washington, Nov. 22. The exten
sion of the benefits of the civil-service
laws to postal clerks on board ocean
steamers clears the way for a system
of transfers with the railway mail
service by which the sea clerks may go
back to land duty and clerks employed
on trains be assigned to the ocean
steamers. All the American clerks now
employed on mail steamships were taken
from the railway mail service. Recent
ly some of these have desired to go
back to their old positions on shore,
but they found that the fact that they
were not in the classified service inter
fered with this. Now, however, these
clerks may have their requests granted
in this particular, and it is understood
that a number of men now serving on
trains would be glad to take their
places. The sea clerks are given all
their meals free during the ocean jour
ney, and have a holiday while their
vessel is in port, and in addition to
these advantages they have the chance
to see something of the world.
THE W. C. T. U.
Close of the Most Successful Convention in
the History of the Union.
Cleveland, O., Nov. 22. The W. C.
T. U. convention was brought to a
close last night, with a meeting in
Music hall, under the auspices of the
federated unions of this city. Ten
minute speeches were made by Mme.
Barakak, of Syria; Helen M. Barker,
of Chicago; Miss Ackerman, of Aus
tralia; Mme. Chika Sakarai, of Japan;
Mrs. Lide Merriwether. of Pennsyl
vania, and Susan B. Anthony.
The convention has been the most
successful in the history of the union,
and delegates are loud in their praises
of the hospitality of the Cleveland tem
perance women.
Next year's convention will proba
bly be held in Baltimore, although
Kansas City is a formidable competi
tor. The decision rests with the ex
ecutive committee.
More Earthquake Shocks at Reggio di Ca
labria. Rome, Nov. 22. Several more shocks
of an undulatory character were felt
at Reggio di Calabria yesterday morn
ing. The shocks were violent but
brief, and each succeeding shock was
of less duration than the ope preced
ing it. The panic continues at Mes
sina, but no further shocks were re
reportad. Signor Galli, under secretary of the
interior, arrived at Reggio yesterday
morning to direct the repairs neces
sary to the public buildings which
were damaged by the shocks there.
Five Men Injured by the Cave-Io f a
Floor.
Newark, N. J., Nov. 22. The second
floor of the three-story brick building
at Hunterdon street and Fifteenth
avenue caved in yesterday morning at
8:30 o'clock, burying five men in the
cellar. The seriously injured are:
John Lawrence, Arthur Carbelly and
Arthur Kinsella; those slightly hurt
are: James H. Duncan and John En
glish, all employes of James M. Byrnes,
boiler contractor, who was laying a
bed in the cellar for an engine and
boiler. The excavation weakened the
walls, causing the collapse.
THE OLD PATHFINDER
Finds a Restlng-Place on the Banks of the
Hudson Laid to Rest with Simple Obse
quies, Attended by a Faithful Few, Who
Loved the Noble Patriot Living and
Honor His Memory Now that He Has
Gone to His Reward.
Sparkill, N. Y.t Nov. 22. On the
crest of a high hill commanding a view
of the Hudson river and the country
to the west of it for miles and miles,
the remains of Gen. John C. Fremont
were yesterday placed at rest. Only a
small band of the followers of the
"Pathfinder" were present. They came
up from New York in a special car at
tached to the 1:30 p. m. train from Jer
sey City. Prominent among them
were Lieut. John C. Fremont, U.
S. N., son of the dead gen
eral; Mrs. John C. Fremont, Jr.;
Mr. and Mrs. John D. Townsend,
relatives by marriage; Mrs. John W.
Magruder, widow of Gen. Magruder;
Maj.-Gen. Miles, U. S. A., Rear-Admiral
Meade, U. S. N. There were a dozen
or more '49ers, members of the organ
ization known as the Associated Pio
neers of the territorial days of Califor
nia, and with the Rockland county
people who attended the burial, the
party numbered 150.
The day was perfect and the simple
ceremony was impressive. On a spot
from which the noble Hudson can be
seen as it broadens to form Tappen
Zee, and followed until it is lost be
yond the Croton hills, and with a view
of the setting sun, as it sinks behind
the New Jersey hills, the little band of
devoted followers stod with bared
heads while earth was consigned to
earth and ashes to ashes.
The remains of the man whose name
was once a household word had been
in the receiving vault here since
March, 1891, when they were trans
ferred from Trinity cemetery, New
York, where they had been placed
after the funeral on July 15, 1890.
At 2 o'clock the casket, inclosed in a
heavy wooden box, was placed in a
hearse and followed by carriages con
taining the relatives and friends, the
little cortege passed up the winding
road to the highest ground. The grave
had been dug within a hundred feet of
the tall shaft which marks the resting
place of Lieut. Gorrigne, who brought
the obelisk to this country.
The casket, adorned with American
flags, was removed from the hearse
and lowered into the grave. Rev.
Ward Dennis, of Sparkill, read the
simple interment service of the Protes
tant Episcopal church. Francis D.
Clark, secretary of the Associated
Pioneers, spoke a few words in behalf
of the veterans who had come to pay
their final tribute to the memory of
their comrade. He then introduced
Rear-Admiral Meade, who said in sub
stance:
"Friends and Pioneers In the face
of death there is not much that can be
said. We are here to honor the mem
ory of the man who did as much as any
man in his generation to give us the
empire of the western world. I re
member well, as a boy, how my heart
thrilled as I heard of the man whom
we now lay at rest on the banks of the
Hudson, beside which Washington
Irving said it was an honor to be born.
Of Fremont it can be said every
pulse of his heart beat for his country.
If he had had his wish, he would have
died fighting for the colors he loved so
well."
Rev. E. Crowell, of Nyack, who knew
Fremont in California, also spoke.
Then Rev. Mr. Dennis concluded the
service; flowers were thrown upon the
casket, and the grave was filled with
earth.
GEN. WILLIAM BOOTH,
Commander-in-Chief of the Salvation

for Treason.
San Francisco, Nov. 23. The
steamer Mariposa which arrived from
Honolulu yesterday brought news of
an attempt to overthrow the govern
ment by Clad II. W etmore, a newspa
per man who formerly represented the
New York World and a Chicago paper
there after the deposition of Queen
Lilioukalani. Wetmore had several
hundred royalists connected with him
in the plot, which was to have been
sprung on the day after the last steamer
from Honolulu, the Australia, had
sailed. On the morniug of the steam
er's departure Wetmore was summoned
to Attorney-General Smith's office and

parting on the Australia or being

p-ogress on the islands in the vicinity

FROM SAMOA.
A Peace Better Described as Armed Neu
trality Still Reigns in the Islands No
Native Taxes Forthcoming and the
White Taxpayers Disgruntled.'
San Francisco, Nov. 23. (Corre
spondence of the United Press per
steamer Mariposa:)
Apia, Nov. 1. Peace still reigns in
Samoa, although it is a peace which
would be better described as armed
neutrality. No native taxes are forth
coming, and the government's current
expenses are met by the proportion of
customs revenue which the great pow
ers have decided the government is en
titled to. Naturally the white resi
dents, who solely contribute toward
this branch of revenue, are disgrun
tled, and the wonder is that thy con
tinue to be law-abiding, when no steps
are taken to enforce native taxation.
The most important event of the
month has been the visit of the land
commissioners to the district of Faler
alili, where they were permitted to es
tablish themselves without molesta
tion and during their stay had no
cause of complaint against the rebels
residing there. On their .return to
Apia they expressed themselves as de
lighted with the work accomplished.
The commissioners are now preparing
for a similar trip to Lufilufi, the capi
tal town of the rebels in Atua, and
their work there being accomplished,
they will have completed their official
inquiry into the land claims in Samoa.
The British war ship Curacoa and
the German man-of-war Buzzard are
still in Apia harbor. The former has
been expecting her relief for more
than three months, but no definite in
formation of it has been received up
to the present time.

Bankers and Capitalists.
New York, Nov. 23. It was reported

ment loan. President Stewart of the
United States Trust Co. and his friends
to subscribe for the other half. The
new syndicate is said to comprise the
Chemical, Park and Importers' and
Traders', the Chase, the Fourth na
tional and the Bank of Commerce.
These banks are among the largest
holders of gold, and if they take the
loan the treasury will be a large gainer
of the yellow metal.
The agents in this city of the Bank
of Montreal will receive SG00.000 gold !
from Canada this week and $400,000
next week. It is understood that this
gold is to pay for subscriptions to the
government loan.
FOR GRAVE ROBBERY.
Professor, Students and Janitors of Cotner
University Charged With the Crime.
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 23. The six
students, professor and janitors of Cot
ner university, arrested Wednesday
night on the charge of grave robbery
had their preliminary examination yes
terday morning and each secured a
continuance until November 30. The
name of the venerable Dr. R. Dungan,
chancellor of the university, has been
included in the list of those suspected.
The men under arrest, it is claimed,
will attempt to prove that the body
was procured in a regular way by pur
chase and that the police have no ac
tual proof that the professor, students
or janitors had any hand in taking it
from the grave. The punishment for
grave robbery in Nebraska is a fine of
from $100 to $500. The affair has
caused a great sensation at the college
suburb.
A DETERMINED FRONT.
The Captain of a Stranded Chinese War
Ship Takes Opium.
London, Nov. 23. A dispatch from
Che-Foo to the Central News says that
all the vessels of the Chinese fleet are
now at Talien Wan. and troops are
marching southward to attack Port
Arthur. The Chinese there are mak
ing preparations to present a deter
mined front against the enemy.
The captain of the Chinese war ship
Chen Yuen, Lin Tai Sau, committed
suicide by taking a quantity of opium
beause of the stranding of his ship.
The vessel struck a rock and is proba
bly a total wreck. The Chinese au
thorities at Shanghai, however, have
arranged to send ships and men to her
assistance, believing that the Chen
Yuen can be floated and repaired.
HIS RULING IS FINAL.
The Courts Will Not Go Behind the Find
ing of the Postmaster General.
Washington, Nov. 23. The post
office department has recently pro
cured rulings in the United States
ccurt to the effect that the rulings of
the postmaster general that a party is
running a lottery or fraudulent scheme
through the mails is conclusive on the
judiciary, and that the courts in an
application for a mandamus or manda
tory injunction cannot go behind such
finding to compel postmasters to
transmit through the mails literature
concerning a scheme which the post
master general has found is a lottery
or fraud.
The courts are thus far unanimous
in this position. Judge Monroe, at St.
Paul; Judge Phillips, at Jefferson City,
Mo.; Judge Lodge, at Cincinnati, and
Judge Newman, at Atlanta, have so
ruled. This is deemed by the postal
authorities as very important in the
administration of the postal system.
THE CZAP AND HIS MOTHER
Suffering From the Effects of the Recen)
Mental and Physical Strain.
Berlin, Nov. 23. A dispatch from St.
Petersburg says that Emperor Nicholas
is suffering greatly from insomnia, and
is consequently very much depressed
in spirits. The empress dowager ha?
become very much emaciated, as the
result of her vigil at the bedside of he
husband, and the subsequent tax up
on her physical strength imposed by
the journey to St. Petersburg and her
participation in the various ceremonies
over the body of the late czar.
Nearly Five Hnndred Millions of Bushels
of Corn in the South.
Baltimore, Md., Nov. 23. The Manu
facturers' Record has compiled from
advance reports of the United States
agricultural department the produc
tion of corn in each of the southern
states, showing an aggregate increase
in the south in 1894 over 1893 of 48,000,
000 bushels, making a total production
in the south of nearly 500,000,000
bushels. Owing to the increase in the
south and the large decrease in the
west, the south has this year produced
more than one-third of the total corn
crop of the United States.
TO AID EMPLOYES.
A New Scheme of the W. L. Douglas Sh 00
Co. Will Famish Their Help with Med
ical Attendance.
William L. Douglas, the president of the
world famed W. L. Douglas Bhoe Co., has
always had a great personal Interest in the
army of men and women wno inkat it the
great factory at MoBtello daring the work
ing hours of the day, and who make the
greatly advertised t3 shoe.
He is a great believer in the idea that
manufacturers should have this personal
interest in the condition- ef their em ployea,
and feels that if the idea fe earned out to
the extent that is possible that it will result
ultimately in the Breaking- down of the bar
riers which have been built np between em
ployers and those whom tney employ. Ha
believes that the breaking down f these in
visible but strong barriers would be a great
thing for everybody conce rned, as it would
convince the workingmen that their em
ployers were not their ene mies, as some of
them seem to think now, but their friends,
with a desire to do all for them that was in
their power.
Having strong feelings upon this point, it
is only natural that Mr. Douglas should give
the matter some study and acquaint him
self with the result of the trials of such
plans in other places. He is satisfied that
the scheme he has orig inated is a pood one,
and he nas now put it to practical test.
To-day he handed to every person in his
exiploy and they form a Email army a
card, a fac-simile of which is here given:
This ticket entitles
Residence
to full and free medical attendance -while em
ployed by the W. L Douglas Shoe Company.
A competent and skillful physician will be at
the private office of the company at 12 M..
daily, except Sundays and holidays.
If said employe should be detained at hom
by sickness, the physician win give full and
free medical attendance there.

lresident.
Room.
CONDITIONS.
The phvslcian will not make visits outside
the city limits. This ticket lsnot transferable,
and does not apply to the family of the em
ploye, and must be return ed ns soon as the
term of employment ceases. This privilege is
a free gift of the company and is no part of
the contract for wages, and may be made void
by the company, at its own option, without
notice.
This is a practical illustration of Mr.
Douglas' idea, and will surely be appre
ciated by the hundreds who receive the
cards.
He says that he beli eves there are hun
Ireds of workimjmen and workinpwomen
who find a doctor's bill a great burder. after
1 period of enforced idleness, and that if
this is lifted from them they must feel that
their employer is in terested in them in
some other way than simply to get all the
work he can for just as little money as he
can. He says also that there are men mid
women who keep right at work when it
would be better for their health if they
would lay off a day or two and have n;cd
ical attendance. Then again they will now
feel free to consult the doctor when ihey
nave slight troubles, wh ich heretofore they
would not do because of the cost.
The plan goes into effect to-day. Dr. R. J.
Gruver has been engaged as the physician
and enters upon his duties to-morrow.
The plan is a good one.
Speaking of the W. L. Douglas Shoe Co.
it may be said that their factory is the only
one in the city where the principle of arbi
tration is recognized and has full sway.
Mr. Douglas is a firm believer in the prin
ciple and has been sin ce the establishment
of the state board of arbitration. He claims
that labor troubles would not be as fre
quent as they are if manufacturers and
help would recognize this great principle,
and adopt it.
The firm obliges every man who is hired
to sign an agreement to submit any dis
agreement that may arise, and which' can
not be settled by the interested parties, to
the state board of arbitration, the decision
of that board to be final and to be hinding
on both sides. Pending a settlement of any
disagreement the men agree to continue
at work. This agreement went in force
December 10, 18S8, and has worked well. It
is signed by the L. P. U. on behalf of tho
lasters. Brockton (Mass.) Daily Enter
