Comparative OficiaI Salaries.

brief comparison of the pay of the
United States diplomatic corps with those
of Great Britain and Germany, reveals the
fact that, as a rule, the latter receive far
better remuneration than the former. Our
Ministers at London, Paris, Berlin and ST.
petersburg are allowed $17 800. The Eng
Ish Ambassador, Lord Lyons, at Paris
receives 10000, say, $4,000; at Vienna,
Sir Henry ElliOts salary is $4,000; at
Berlin, Lord AmpthilI's is $50 900 and at
st. Petersburg, Sir Edward TherntOn's is
$39.OOO. Our representatives at Vienna.
Rio de JaneriO, Pekin, Rome, Yeddo,
Mexico and Madrid draw salaries of
$l2,Ooe. Those at Guatemala, San
tIa@o and Lima have $4,000. Min
listers to Brussels, Bogota, Homo
lulu, POrt-au-Prince, The Hague, Stock
holm, COnStantinOple and Caracas get
$500. England's plenipOtentiaries at the
lesser courts are uniformly better paid
than ours. The British representatives
at tCOnstantinOple and Washington, which
are reckOned frst-class embassies. re-
ceivc respectively $4,000 and $50. 900. The
salary at Madrid is $25, 900; at Toxic. Lis
bon and Rio de Janeiro, 0,O00; at The
Hague, eS18,OO0; at Athens, $1,000: at
Stockholm, $4,000, and at Santiago. Be-
gotta and Lima, $4,000. The German Am
bassadOrS salaries are: At Paris, S30. 900:
at London and st. Petersburg, $37, 800; az,
Vienna and Constantinople, $50. 900: at
Rome, $4,000, and at Pekin, $4,000. Thus
the United States Minister to London re-
ceives as much as the English Ambassa-
dor to Athens. Being Republicans we
have cause to congratulate ourselves up
on our moderation.
The salaries of home officials also diff
fer widely among the three countries.
Here the President receives $4,000
year; the Vice President, $4,000; Sena-
tors, $1,000; Representatives, 5000: Cabi-
net officers, $1,000; the Chief Justice Ofthe
Supreme Court, $10,J0O, and Associate
Justices, $4,000. In England seven Cabi-
net officers get $25, 600; the Lord Chancel-
lor gets $4,000; the Solicitor General, $780,
600; the Attorney General, $3j, 900; Lord
Lieutenant of Ireland, 100000; the Arch
bishop of Canterbury, $4,000, and the
prelates of York and London, 5000. In
Germany, the Imperial Chancellor and
Prime Minister-Prince Bismarck, is al
lowed salary of $4,000, house and an
additional $1,000 to keep it in order.

A report was received by the Board OF
Health per Likelike ON Sunday from DR..
Thompson, The Government physician at
Kohala, stating that he was treating n case
OF what he supposed at first was an ordin-
arv eruptiVe disease, but which had de-
yeloped some marked symptoms of variOla.
He gave no particulars ofthe possible origin
OF the disease, I'm case of its proving what he
suspected Other parties coming from
Kohala have spoken of this supposed
varIolofd case as altogether a false
alarm. However, the Board of Health,
acting promptly on the slightest suspicion
Of any LANCER Of disease Of his character,
dispatched to Kohala per Likelike DR..
Mouritz, q gentleman who has had large
experiences In treating smallpox, as special
agent Of the Board, to cooperate in case OF
confirmation of the suspected case with he
district physician in devising measures
for Carrying out q rigid local quarantine,
and to engage in a general vaccination,

sent per same steamer, to all the Govern
ment physicians on W and Maui, a
FISH supply of bovine virus, just received
from Boston, also n large quantity Of cir
culars in both languages, embodying the
regulations in respect to vaccination and
reVaccinatfon. Now we have n good many
opInions and assurances that this supposed

Earthquakes

The american Journal Of Science for
May, contains an interesting article on
phenomena in relation to at
mospheric pressure, observations In Japan,
extending over u considerable period OF
time being discussed.
Japan i pre-eminently n country of
earthquakes as the list given ~abundantly
testifies. and DIR. Thos. ii. Street, L. s.
Navy, the author of the article refused TO
that while ''the barometer gives
indication OF the approach Of an earth
quake, they are associated with q
Comparatively high state of atmospheric
About - per cent of them pro-
ing weather or heralded clearing weather"
This, the author goes on to say might i'm
ply some relation" but, inasmuch as the
|climate Of Japan is remarkable for its hui
|midity, "this connection is probably only
incidental"
earthquakes are almost always proceeded
Iby unsettled gloomy weather, so much so
that n season of dull, depressing weather is
IOften called Irregular earthquake weather.
IIm one respect the authors experience has
him to n different conclusion from that
entertained by observers of this
of terrestrial disturbance. He states
tween the time of the autumnal equinox
land the time of the greatest frequency OF
..earthquake shocks" The opinion usually
held land we may say supported by records
kept here, il that earthquakes are asso-
with the equinoctical period of at
lmOspheric disturbance.
1t would he well If there was a more syS-
record kept here OF shocks, and
Ito this end we would recommend that those
who may notice such disturbances, no mat
tier how slight they may be, and let the
be known through the public prints

100000 in vain attempts to-
find a~Ttesian water in that State, abandoned

The other encouraging fact referred to, is

THE PACIFIC


Her Highness the Princess Ruth Keeliko-i
lani died at Kailua, Hawaii, on Thursday
last Mt about 9 Am. The venerable Princess
was slightly sick with fever for n number
of days preceding her death, but nothing
serious was apprehended. For some time|
past the Princess had been suffering from
heart disease, and it is probable that the
fever weakened her system so that the old
malady proved fatal.
Princes Ruth was born on the 9th of
February, 1915. being therefore in her
seth year when she died. She was the
daughter Of the chiefess Pauahi and Cow
ernor K~ekuanaoa, sister of the late Kame-
hamehas ". and ". She was first %cOusinI
to the Hon. Mrs. c. r. Bishop, and also
q sister-in-law of Her Majesty the Dowagerl
Queen Emma. The remains of Her latel
Royal Highness lay in State in her late
magnificent residence on Emma street yes-l
terday, from / to 5 o'clock p. m. A large
number Of people both foreigners and
natives called to pay final tributes OF re-
spect to the deceased Princess. The casket
containing the remains was placed in the;
elegant drawing room mau ka of the hall
leading from the main front entrance of the
mansIsn. -Four ate ndants, each bearing a,
kahili were disposed on either side of the
~catafalc which was covered with wreathsl
Of lowers. The funeral of Her late Royal
HIghness viii take place on Saturday. June
