SAMOAN NEWS.
The Financial Condition of Things
Not Encouraging.
Apia (.Samoa), Feb. 17. 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.

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.

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

France, in recognition of the assist
ance given this country in the
Revolutionary War, is the task
which "The Detroit Journal" has

WASHINGTON NEWS.
Motes and Comments From the
National Capital.
THE NEW flOL'SE RULES.
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

of the public eve for a season.

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

a few years ago f:om $30. They
are from fitty-two to seventy jears
of age, and are now dropping off at
