velopments concerning the affairs of J. w.

the Controller is still examining the
books" The department in the Clerks

resists the expert engaged in endeavorine
to find the combination. Already parties
who are willing to be his successor are dis.
cussing the probabilities, and there is con
siderable being said as to what steps should
be taken relative to declaring vacancy il
he should not return in sixty DAYS. An
| article of the treaty made in 1850 between
| the United States and Hawaii shows that
persons guilty of murder, piracy, arson,
robbery. forgery, or the utterance of forged
paper, may be demanded of and returned
by either country, and if Mccarthy has fal.
sified the public records his return will
probably be demanded on a charge Of
forgery. Deputy Supreme Court CLERK

been reported to have been absent from his

drawing his salary, is said by those who
should know to have been in attendance ir
