The balance sheet of the late Tanasese government has been published. The people here have locg been curious to know how the money collected by Branders in hit capac ity as agent of the government has been disbuised. Tbe statement of receipts and expenditures published is a remarkable document. The items thereon have been very severely criticised in tho local press. By the balance sheet it would appear that there ought to be $12,000 worth of prope:ty and between $'-'000 and J000 in cash to be handed over to Malietot's gov ernment. This, however, proves to be a delusion, for the subsequence of the papers has been handed to the present Sanioan government which ohow that not only tlie sur plus money, but all the property bought and owned by theTciuascsc government had been mortgaged lo the (urrman linns by, the treas urers of the government for goods, etc.. supplied but not specified.', so that all the properly that is left out of ahout $80,000 collectedfrom the whole of Samoa during the t:me that the Tamasese government was run by Brander is only two light towers and some municipal effects. Kobert L. Stevenson, the novel ist, has bought a plantation of 400 or 500 acres near Apia, where he intends to make his future home. He finds it better for his health than any other place he has visited. KKOM Al STKAI.1A. A Chapters of Disasters on the I51r Island. Sax Francisco, Feb. 17. The steamer Zelardia arrived to-day, bringing advices from hvdney to Januarv '22 and Auckland to Janu ary 20. tire in Svdney on Liiristmas destroyed the sheds of the Tas manian Steam Navigation Compa ny's wharf, causing a loss of $150 000. The new year was remarkable in Australia for many fatal accidents. One of the most prominent was the collapse of the old Volunteer Artil lery hotel in Svdney, in which two people were buried in tbe rums and burned. The condition of the unemployed at Sydney is becoming serious. One recent night 500 men and wo men were counted asleep in parkB of the city, all without money or homes. ' Queen Island was visited by a severe storm on January 5th, re suiting in serious floods, causing several deaths and much loss of property. The l'arnell Commission. New York, Feb. 17. A cable from London savs: The cabinet was very doubtful as to what action to take regarding the Parnell com mission. They agreed finally to let Parnell and his colleagues take the initiative. It was proposed to expel the members of the commis sion who were found guilty of criminal conspiracy, but it wis not favorably received and was aban doned. On the other band it was decided to assume the offensive, and a vote of censure will be moved when the expense account of tbe commission is laid. Closed Its Doors. Lancaster, Pa., Feb. 17. The Lincoln national bank has been plundered by Cashier Bard and F. W. Hull and has closed its doors under orders of the bank examiner. It is reported this, morning that the defalcation will amount to between $80,000 and $40:000. The World's Fair. Washington, Feb. 17. The house committee on the world's fair decided to report to the house a resolution, making a special order for the consideration of the fair bills on Thursday and; Friday and balloting for the selection of a site on Monday. " llehring Sea. Hatters, San Francisco, Feb. 17. A special from Ottawa, Canada, says word has been received here from well informed quarters in tVash ington that Ihere will be no rigid enforcement of tbe claim to the exclusive jurisdiction to the Behring sea and the enforcement the law against the Canadian sealers in these during the ap proaching season. The sealers of British Columbia have also been advised to this effect and are in clined to believe they have a trifle to fear from the United States cruisers next summer. TIIKXVTH AMENDMENT. To Sacrlfico Representatives in Con gress for the Repeal. Jackson, Miss., Feb. 1G. The West memorial, now pending in the House of Representatives of this State, is attracting more attention than any other public question before the Legislature, and the following letter will he read with interest. Judge Wiley P. Hsrris advocated the adoption ot the Allth an4 Aivtu Amendments of the Federal Constitu tion by the Southern States before the XV th Amendment was thought of, and in the letter which follows he ap proves the same course to-day. His opinion is entitled to great weight. Dor a third ot a centusy na has been consulted by Senatore and Governors, and has been regarded as the first constitutional lawyer in Mississippi. He was asked for his opinion by mem bers of the Legislature, and replied as follows: "To your joint letter of February 6. on the subject of the memorial to Congress, reported to the House of Representatives bv tbe Committee on Federal Relations, my reply is that I take the memorial to be in effect an address to our sister States, through Congress in favor of ammending the Constitution of the United States so as to allow tbe States, as each may determine for herself, to deal with the question of suffrage, as they may se nt, subject only to the rule of ap portionment fixed by the XlVth Amendment. The restriction imposed by the XVth Amendment of the liberty of thekStates in this respect is felt to be a grievance by us, as in view of the preponderance of the negro population in the State, a preponderance annually ine-easing by t'ie influx of the negroes from other States, it is a transfer of political power so that race, aud we think wc ought to be free to deal with the dan ger involved in it. lhe practical view of the demonstration measured iy the chance of favorable action by Congress appears, I confess, to be slight; but I perceive in the memorial an avowal which, in the constantly recurring agitation of the subject in the country, I think should L: made in some authoritative way by a body representing the people of the State, of our willingnecn t n;tfcr a reduction of our representation in tho lower House of Congress and of our votes in tho Electoral College for the sake oi tranquillity at home. Such an avowal will serve to refute the charge and dispel the belief that we perferto suppress the nero vote by indirect mcanv, and at the same time retain a political we'ght in National affairs to to which we arc not entitled accord ing to the spirit of the Constitution lam persuaded that it is best for the people of the State, in order to secure order, stability aud progress, to lodge political power irreversibly it the white race, and submit to the couse oucnce to which it will lead under the operation of the XlVth Amend ment. I think this is the conclusion of those most competent to decide what is best for us, and it should be avowed." A Testimonial To France. Detroit. Micb., Feb. 16. The sending of a suitable testimonial treat tbe people of America to France, in recognition of the assist ance given this country in the Revolutionary War, is the task which "The Detroit Journal" has undertaken. Tbe plan baa been carefully matured and is strongly supported by the Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, which has officially indorsed it. Tbe president-general of the society William Seward Webb, of New York, is the chairman of the com mittee to arrsDge all details. The following uave been selected by Mr Webb at his associates on this com mittee: L. S. Barrett, Cambridge, Ma? j.; Goldsmith Bernard West, Birmingham, Ala.; Judge L. P. Deming, New Haven, Conn.; Will iam O. McDowell, Newark, N.J.; Nathaniel Green, Newport R. I.; William Wayne. Philadelphia; the Rev. Charles Pinkney, Charleston. 8. C; Cbauncey M. Depew, New York, and William H. Bearley, proprietor of "The Detroit Journal.'' To these Mr. Webb bas added H. B. Ledyard, of Detroit, pres:dent of ti.e Michigan Central Railroad, as tbe treasurer. Several of those named have telegraphed their warm approval and acceptance. Tbe features of the plan are: T raise an adequate fund by f 1 suo scriptions: to bind the names of all subscribere in volumes and sent them with ths gift to France, and to obtain suggestions as to the form ot the testimonial.

Secretary Tracy's Despoiled Home-Ameri can Bhips Deeded for American Cargoes Mloor Qossip. Special Correspondence. I Washington, ten. lz.ii was made appaient at the last sessien that the House could not be run to ad vantage under the old utes; it has been made apparent this session that the House cannot be satisfactorily run with no rules. Whether the new code shall be in all respects tbe best that could have been devised is not in question. But a glance at the changes will show that the new rules are much lietter calculated to advance legislation than the system which ob tained in the last Congress and that those who are disposed to be ob structionists simply for the purpose of obstruction- are disarmed of many of their favorite weapons. If not what the minority choose, this will give it a fair show for recognition, while re stricting its powers of mischief, and will bring order out of 'chaos. The blacnened shell of the lately handsome home of Secretary Tracy, standing in the sunshine that floods Farragut square with the memory o the melancholy tragedy about it, yf a sad remnant of one of the happiest homes in the city. Mrs. Tracy was the latest of the cabinet ladies to make the acquaintance of the Wash ington people. With her generous and sympatbetec nature soon became interested in everything and almost every person connected with social life here. She took up her duties with so much warmth of heart and real pleasure in it all that bet enthusiastic enjoyment won for hei love and admiration. Past sir.ty in years there was that youthfulness ot the heart characterizing her that is sever touched by time. Mrs. Tracy's social gifts were of the rarest order and the mourning tiat is felt for nor in hundreds of hearts is that of personal less by ca? individual who knew her. Mies Mary Tracy had inherited her mother's sunshiny nature that time would have developed into the attrac tive qualities that made Mrs. Tracy so remarkable a woman whatever position in life she was called upon to grace. They were two of nature's gentlewomen, pure of heart, noble in intention, kindly and gracious and tenderly loyal in all their relations and obligations. Washington is unquestionably the cjnventiou city of the republic. Such important gatherings were convened Wednesday as the National Board of trade, the National bhipping League, the National Guarl Association, the National Association of Post Olh'se Clerks, aud tbe National Colored People's Convention. As a culmina tion of its achievements as the meet ing place of the psople, Washington needs a great convention ha1, and the national celebration at the capital of the discovery of America by Colum bus. Mr. Foster Higgine, when he stated in the American shipping league Wednesday that the present condition of the merchant marines of the country is a standing menance to American prosperity, was emphatic ally right. If tbe carrying trade of Great Britain were suddenly with' drawn, as in the cast of war it might be, there would be a financial panic here. This question of : he American ship for the American cargo is one of the higher economies, and no 'matter what the point of view of the citizen on the tariff question may be we should all be favorable to a restora tion as soon as possible of the national merchant marine. At a meeting of the House com mittee on the civil service yesterday. the line of inquiry to be followed into tbe charges that have been preferred against the commiisinn was decided upon. The committee will first in vestigate the charges affecting the commission as at present organized; then the former commission, and finally a general inquiry into the workings of the civil service system. No date for the beginning of the in- qui-y has yet been agreed upon. Deadlocks and world s fairs and Congressional insurrections seem to have crowded David Bennett Hill out of the public eve for a season. Sneaker Reed's and ex-Speaker Carlisle s statements of the contem - - - poraneous struggle in the House are now before the country. The people are judges. One case a year in 1790-91. if teen hundred cases a single session in 1889-90. That is the way the Supreme Court has grown. Give tho great tribunal relief. Asking For Am Increase of Pensloa. Washington, Fib. 16. The House Committee on Invalid Pen sions to-day bad before it a delega tion from the United States Maimed Soldiers' League, who presented their reasons tor the passage by Congress ot tbe kills intioduced in tbe Senate by Mr. Quay, and in the House by Mr. Bingham, increasing the pensions of those who have lost a limb, two limbs, or betb eyes, and fer other purposes. The delegation consisted of Benjamin F. Widdi comb, James M. McGee, A. G. Rspp, General H. S, Huidekoper and J. II. R. Storey. Several of lhe delegation addressed the com initlee.They also presented a print ed nigument. m which they sny that a in aimed soldier iu thcEnlisii Army, a commissary clerk, dis charged after the Zulu war, for the purpose of reducing the establish ment; or a policeman in he city of New Xork. after twenty-one years of service, without any disability, set a pension of f 50 a month.
