Wages Paid A. ID. 1900.

McMaster's History tells the wages re-
ceived i'll 1900. On the Pennsylvania ca
mails the diggers ate the coarsest diet,
we're housed in the rudest sheds and paid
Sc month from May to November, and
S. month from November to May. Hod
carriers and mortar mixers, diggers and
choppers, who, from 1898 to 1900, labor
ed on the public buildings and cut the
streets and avenues of Washington City,
received $40 year, or, if they wished,
$50 for all the work they could perform
from March l to December 20. The
hours of work were invariably from
suncise to sunset. Wages at Albany and
New York we're shill1ngs, Or, as money
then went, 40 cents day; at Lancaster,
IS to $40 month; elsewhere in Penn
sylvania, workmen were content with Sc
in summer and S. in winter. At Balti
more, men were glad to be hired at IS
pence day. None by the month asked
more than S.. At Fredericksburg the
price of labor was from SIS to 81. In
Virginia white men hired by the year
were given GIG currency; slaves when
hired were clothed and their masters paid
Ell month. A pound Virginia money
was in Federal money 1888. The aver
age rate of wages the land over was,
therefore, $65 year, with food and per
haPs lodging. Out of the email sum the
workman must, with his wife's help main
tain his family.

Death of a Congressman.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-Representative
Burnes, of Missouri, died at 1916 a. m.
He was unconscious from O'Clock un-
til his death. His son, d. d. Burnes, and

he frequently acted as chairman of the
committee on appropriations. Congress
man Burnes was man of large wealth,
and it is estimated that the
family, who hold all their property in
common, is worth from 81 100000 to ST.
100000, largely invested in banking in
situations. He leaves a wife and two
sons, and seven adopted children of a
deceased brother.
The house tomorrow will adjourn i'm

ASCENDENCY In SAMOA

Treaty to Stop Her Acquiring it.
Numerous Washington Officials Give
Their Views on the Subject.

Dies Suddenly of Paralysis.

BERLIN, Jan. 24.-Ths National Zsitung
denies the existence of a treaty precludipg
any European power from acquiring or
seeking to acquire ascendancy in
Samoa. 1t also denies that England and
America have agreed upon any proceed
ings for the settlement of affairs in Sa-
moa. The German agent in Samoa says
that on the contrary such q treaty would
be opposed TO diplomatic etiquette and
has officially notified the foreign office
at Berlin accordingly. The Zeitung con-
tinues: "The treaties between Samoa,
Germany, England and America provide
that Samoa comedies to each treaty
power equal rights with any other power,
but no treaty regarding neutrality or the
independence of Samoa exists between
Germany and America"
The North German Gazette says that
the sensation in America over the
Samoan troubles is regarded here as
deliberate defiance from Washington.
BERLIN, Jan. 25.-The National lei
tung, referring to the action of the sena-
torial committee at Washington on the
Samoan affair, says that measures for
the protection of the autonomy of the
Samoan island are superfluous, because it
is not threatened by any one. the sole
interest of America consists in not al
lowing the good relations with Germany
to be jeopardized by a few intriguing
adventures.
The Vossische Zeitung criticising the
argument of the Cologne Gazette of yes
terday, holds that it would be mistake
to attach no Importance to the measures
taken by President Cleveland, merely be-
cause he is to be shortly succeeded by
Harrison. It points out that the author
ity for dealing with foreign affairs rests
with the committee of the senate and
warns the semi-official press it would be
unwise to try to appease the German pub
lie with fallacious Illusions"
