The iej)le here have been curious to know htnv the moneys col lecteil by Brauilers in the capacity of chief of Kovcrnmeni. have been tlis liurxxl. A statement oI the receipts and ex iwcdilnrc is published. It is a re markable document, and the items therein have been very severely criti cised in the local press. Bv the balance sheet it -vvonld ap pear that there outfit to be $12,01)0 worth of property, and between $2, O0J and S3.tKX) "in cash to be hauded over to the ralieloa's jovernment Tills however, proves to be a de lusion, for a subsequent set of papers has leen handed to the present Sa lnnau government, which show that not only the surplus money but all the proiM?rty bought and owned by the Tnmasese government had been mortgaged to German fanners, who were the treasurers of the government for good?, etc, supplied but not specified. So all the proper! v that is left out of about SS0.O00 collected from the whole of Samoa during the lime the Tamase.se government was ruu by JJranders is only two light towers and some muni cipal effects. On January 1:3th siud lilh a moder ate gale was experienced; the barome tor gave timely notice and the United States teamer Adams and the Ger man cruiser Alaxlrinc went to scirto cs-cajK. The Adams ran to the lee ward and anci ored in Page Page which lKJing perfectly landlocked and the harbor surrounded on all sides by high mountains, afforded se curity. 'Hhc Alcrandrine weathered the storm on Monday and Tues day night at sea, and experi enced very bad weather. The bark and several small schooners remained at anchor in Apia and had no diffi culty in riding out the gale. Their experience of the last hurricane of March last has demonstrated the ne cessity of leaving this harbor on the approach of bad weather. llolert Louis Stevenson, novelist, has lionght a plantation of four or live hundred acres near Apia, where he in tends to make his future home.

George Saltmarsh, a young business man, who was married a short time ago to Miss LalaKiley, of Eugene, shot his wife and then him self at ten o'clock to-night. After their marriage the young couple lived happily together for a few weeks, when the young wife de serted him, saying that she had trans ferred her affections upon somebody else. She returned hist Saturday, and the have leen living together until this evening when Saltmarsh said he was going away, and made all prepar ations to do so. As he went to bid his wife good bye, and as they stood upon the sidewalk, he drew his revolver and shot her in the neck: the ball ranged upward, coming out at the ear, making only a flesh wound, and .she will " recover. lie then shot himself in the right temple, inflicting a wound from which his brains slowly oozed. Physiciaus say he cannot recover. Ilthrin;; Sea Fisheries. Sax Fkaxcisco, Feb. 17.--A special from Ottawa says that word has been received here from a from a well in formed quarter in Washington, that there will be no rigid enforcement of the claim to exclusive jurisdiction to Bearing sea, and the enforcement of the law against Canadian sealing in the waters during the approaching season. The sealers of British Columbia have been advised to this effect and are inclined to believe they have a trifle to fear from the United States cruisers next summer. The Old Jui- Out. Pobtunxi.

A dispatch from fTcffersonville, Indiana, says: Daniel and Edward Seek, aged respectively 15 and 10 years, have just arrived at the home of their grandfather, after a remarkable experience. The boys ran away from their home at Tacoma, Washington, on January 15), be ing uuble. they say, to get along with their step-mother. They had no baggage and possessed only 35 cents between them; yet they never entered any house or asked for food or assistance from any one. Their diet consisted of corn from fields, cat en raw and roasted by a fire in the woods. They stole or begged rides on trains when they could and walked part of the way. 3Ioro- Trouble With Snw. Sackamesto. Feb. 1G. -Advices re ceived from stations on the Sierra Ne vada mountains cause railroad people to fear there will be another struggle with snow at the scene of the recent blockade in the Cascade cut on the Central Pacific The party of seventy Sacramento excursionists who left here last night for the Truckee and who are now "snowed in" at Cascade had to have food carried to them from Sum mit. To day there are sever.il hun dred men at work endeavoring to clear out the drifts with shovels, but are making slow progress as the snow continued to fall to-day.

Nellie Bly's trip is entitled to go on record its the most rapid journey which has ever been made in a circuit of the world, and the enterprising journal and the self-reliant girl are entitled to praise for the achievement. But if the question to be solved was what is the shortest space of time in which, by the route taken, the journey could be made, supposing that trains and steamships were arranged so as to carry the traveler at ordinary speed, without loss of time at connecting points, it can easily be shown that the journey could be accomplished in less than sixty days. The little t raveler who has just finished the round in seventy-two and one-fourth days lost over thirteen days by waiting for connec tions namely, one in London, .two in Ceylon, live in Hong Kong and five at Yokohama, and also lost at least one day by unusual delay in crossing the Pacific ocean. She also traveled 213 miles more than would ordinarily be necessary between San Francisco and Chicago, on account of a detour caused by ;i snow blockade, and her route from Chicago to New York was about forty miles longer than the shortest She traveled at the speed of the ordinary trams and steamship schedule except in the run from San Francisco to Chicago, which was made in eleven hours less than the fastest regular run by the shortest route. But even allowing for this special gain, it appears that the arouud-the-world trip can be made in less than sixty days, assuming only that all connections between trains and steamers are closely made, al though the rate of speed is only that of the present schedules for each part of the journey. E:iilo'.vetl Newspaper. "In the Andover Review for Janu ary," says the New York World, "Mr. Frederick F. Page makes a very con clusive answer to the suggestion of an "endowment for newspapers, so that they may have the character and pos sess the means to secure as editors men who will make ideally pure, wholesome and able newspapers." To this fanciful and quite absurd suggestion the writer very aptly says that "a paper may be endowed, bnt to what advantage if the public do not join in the partnership?' And he adds the wise observation that "the public can always make a newspaper success ful; some excellent editors have never done so.' This is precisely what has happened in the case of the World. It had un der its former management as able and scholarly editors as there were in the country--"ideal" editors in the superficial judgment of self-appoiuted critics and censors of the press. But they do not bring the public into partnership with them. As Mr. Page ebserves: "Endowed virtue in the form of a newspaper can be forced upon an un regenerate public the day that an unwilling horse can be made to drink when led to water." "The best endowment of a great newspaper consists in brains, to know what to do; character, to choose to do the right things; and courage, to daro to do them. THE KEY. GEO. II.

TWO Jealous Females Fiercely FiiM fill Foils. ii:.voci:.iTs io -voir rnoTKST. Washington, Feb. 17. In the sen ale, Dawes presented over 240 peti tions from M-issaclmsetts, stating that more than 100,000.000 worth of in toxicating liquors were annually ex ported from the United Stales to Africa, which is demoralizing to Africa and detrimental to all legitimate commerce with that people, and pray ing that, under that section of ihe con stitution which authorizes congress to regulate commerce with foreign na tions, this sort of thing be slopied. Tt was referred to committee on edu cation and labor. Chandler present ed petitions from Mississippi com plaining of the suppression of the Bepublican vote of that slate and representing that the legis lature of Mississippi recently enacted a law for ihe establishing of a new constitution for the stale on the 13th of August 1890. The same is not to be submitted to the people for rati fication. Thus it was the avowed pur pose or the Democrats to employ fraudulent methods to deprive many intelligent citizens of the franchise. It was referred lo the committee on privileges and elections. Frye, from the select committee on public railroads, reported back ad versely two Pacific railroad funding bills, referred to it. and in lieu of them, reported the origiual bill on the subject with two reports, one of which touches upon the Union Pacific's in debtedness and the other upon the Central Pacific's indebtedness. The latter report, he declared, "had been drafted by the senator from Maine." He explained that the rea son why the bills were reported back adversely was that the committee had finally succeeded to its own satisfac tion in consolidating them into one. The bill which was presented con tained the terms of adjustment with both companies. The Union Pacific and Central Pacific reports were unanimously adopted by the commit tee. The bill, so far as the Union Pa cific was concerned, had also been unanimously rcorled. DEMOCRATIC ACTION' ON' NEW ItULES. After the leading of the journal in the house. Carlisle arose and said that since the 29lh of January his side of the house had been protesting every morning against the approval of the journal on the ground that it con tained an entry made by the direction or the speaker, showing names of certain members as present but not voting. Last Friday the house adopted a code or rules provid ing for such practice. Against this the Democrats pro tested and would protest it as uncon stitutional, but this was a question which could not be divided in the Iioupo and whenever proper case.-, arose it would go to pome other form. It was the purpose of his sid" to see that this occasion should be undo in such shape as would permit it to br finally and decisively passed upon. Therefore he now saw no reason why the journal form, oT which the house had the right to prescribcshould not be approved. This was done. Blair presented petitions signed by :i;,OJ0 members of the G. A. It. in favor of pensions to army nurses; and petitions signed by over ll,0i)0,(HK) persons in favor or the educational bill. Among other petitions presented were several for the per diem pension bill and for bounty to soldiers of the regular army who served in the war of the rebellion. The llaj of IteeLoninc. New Yowc. Feb. 17. A cable from London says: The cabinet were very doubirul ;is to what action to take in regard to the report or the Parnell commission. It was agreed finally to let Parnell and his colleagues take the initiate. It was proposed to move tlie expulsion of members of the house of commons whom Ihe commis sion found guilty of criminal conspir acy, bnt this was not favorably re ceived, and abandoned. The liberals, on the other hand, have decided to assume the offensive and will move a vote of censure when the expense acconnt of the commis sion is tabled. Ihe Kank Closes Its Doors. LANCASTER.
