DISPATCHES received by the Acting
Secretary OF the Navy from the commander
of the United States ship Alaska, at Homo.
lulu, report serious state of affairs there,
growing out Of dissatisfaction among the
sugar planters. The planters have formed
protective union, and have made a pro-
test to the King against the selection Of his
Cabinet. They urge more liberal and pro-
gressive policy than indicated by the Kings
movements. The King, in replying, recog-
nized the right Of all to make suggestions
if they entertained any grievance, and as
sured the members of the union that their
appeal would be considered. Meanwhile
there has been no change in the situation,
and the King has issued a proclamation that
he will be crowned on February u. The
matter will probably drift along until coro-
nation day. when indications pOint to a dis
turbance unless the alleged evil is remedied.
The complaints Of the members of the union
appear to be that the general policy of the
Government is not sufficiently liberal, and
they urge a better opportunity for bringing
in labor, and the adoption of course TO in
sure continuation of the reciprocity treaty
with the United States, which, it is acknowl-
edged, has added so largely to the wealth
of the islands. The union is prepared to
send a representative to the United States to
urge the continuation of the treaty after its
expiration.

The NATIONS DEBT.
Analysis Of the Public Debt Statement
Some Curious Facts.

WASHINGTON, February John NJ Car
son, clerk of the House Committee on WAYS
and Means, has prepared the following anal
ysis Of the debt statement for January, pub
lished to-day: The decrease in the public
debt for January was nearly S13 ,000, 600, and
for the seven months of the current fiscal
year over SIS, 100000, against So, 25O, 900
for the corresponding seven months last YEAR
Since July Let the average monthly reduction
has been Sc, $50, 200, which, if maintained
for the remaining five months, would show a
r eduction for the year OF STAG OOO, 900. Com
pared with February i, 1881, there is
reduction in the aggregate debt of S139. 1885,
600. The current liabilities on account of
called and matured bonds are about Sl6.-
000, 900, OF which amount nearly 81 OOO, 900
are for expended six per cent. bonds recently
called. 1t is a singular fact that in the COL
umn Of debt on which interest has ceased
may be found bonds that ceased bearing in
terest as far back as 1864. There are, how
ever, but $40 900 outstanding of this class of
bonds, and it is probable the greater portion
of this amount has been lost or destroyed. OF
six per cent. bonds, known as consols OF 1867,
interest on which ceased April /, 1879,
there is outstanding, including the interest,
about 81 200 600, and of the five per cent.
funded loan, the interest on which ceased
last May, there is outstanding nearly s., 000,-
900. Why the holders of these bonds do not
present them for payment is a mystery that
cannot be explained Available cash in the
treasury about S144, 100000, decrease OF
S., 900, 900 compared with January Ist. The
large amount required to pay the semi
annual interest and the increased disburse-

RUSSIAN JEWS.
Meeting 10 Protest Against the Outrages
PrRctfced Upon Them.

LONDON, February IA meeting has been
called by the lord mayor, at the instance OF
distinguished citizens, to protest ag ainst the
outrages committed on the Jews in Russia
to be held to-day at the Mansion House. The
hall was crowded long before the hour al
which the proceedings were to begin. The
lord mayor presided. Among the eminent
persons present were the archbishop of Can
terbury, Cardinal Manning, the earl of Shafts
bury, Sir Alexander I. Gait, Canon Farrar
and Morley. Several members of the Roths-
child family and all the leading Israelites of
the city were in attendance. Alfred Tennyson
was not present, but a letter from him
was read, in which he said: 81 am dismayed
at the mass of hatred evinced against the
Jews. Ii the unspeakable barbarities which
have been committed are not universally de-
nounced, it is only because they are SO alien
to the spirit of the age as to be almost in
credible. The government, however, may
have reason to fear that official intervention
would do more harm than good" Letters
from most of those who had signed the re-
quest for the meeting but were unable to be
present were read; also, from Karl
Blind and Sturgeon, the latter pro-
te-ting as non-conformist and liberal,
against the outrages upon the Jews. Resolu-
tons W, re adopted declaring that, while we
disclaim anv right to interfere in the in
ternal sffsirs of Russia, and desire preserva-
t on of amiable relations with that country,
it is our duty to express the opinion that the
laws of Russia concerning the Jews tend to
degrade her in the eyes of christians The
earl of SALISBURY, Cardinal Manning
and Canon Farrar spoke in support of the
resolutions. The lord mayor was requested
to forward copy of the resolutions to Glad
stone, in hopes that the government, when
an opportunity arises, shall exercise
friendly influence in behalf of the perse-
cuted Jews. A relief fund was opened and
received from many of those
present.

The oilhouse opposite the union depot,
the property of the Iron Mountain Railroad
Company, was destroyed by fire last evening.
The building was small one, and contained
nothing but oil and tools. The origin of the
fire is unknown, but is supposed to be the
work of an incendiary. A locomotive came
over from Barring Cross with a hose, and
after considerable labor a hydrant was un-
earthed and water secured. 1t is generally
believed that the fire was part of an organ
lied scheme Of recently discharged employees
to damage the company. A prominent rail-
road man is credited with saying that the
trouble on the Iron Mountain road is but the
beginning of the end; that the disorganiza-
ton now prevailing is greater than during
the strikes a few years since, and he expected
to hear OF almost any kind of bad work being
