THE WORLDS DEBTS.
Uncle Sans Credit the Best of All
Nations.

Uncle Sans Credit the Best of All
Nations.
WASHINGTON, May 12.-The census
bureau has issued bulletin upon the
debts of the world. AS far as can be as
certained the debt of the foreign ma
tions in 1890, less sinking fund, was
$25, ,636, ,076, 900, an increase over 1880 of
$2,154, ,503,655. The debt of the United
States for the same time shows a de-
crease of ST. ,007 ,455, 900, or more than
half the amount of the debt in 1880.
The decrease in the debt of the states
and territories for the ten years to 1890
was $67 ,2l9, 900; in the same time the
debt of counties increased $17,846, 900.
The burden of debt falls far
heavier upon the inhabitants of the
principal foreign countries, except
of Germany, than upon those OF this
country. While the individual fiuctua-
tions in the amounts of Indebtedness of
seventy-nine foreign nations reported,
has been considerable during the de-
cade, the aggregate Indebtedness shows
relatively but little change, especially
if compared with the increase of popula-
tion. The aggregate national, state
and county Indebtedness per capita
shows decrease from 1869 IN 1880 to
500. .46 in 1890. The aggregate surplus
receipts of another decade like the one
Just passed would relieve the country
from nearly all the national, state and
county Indebtedness, could they be dis
tributed for the purpose.

Powell's Fourth Trial.

REDwoopCIrY, Cal ,May12.-The fourth
trial of Llewellyn A. Powell for killing
Ralph S. Smith, editor of the Times
Gazette, over two years ago, began here
today. Judge w. G. Lorigan, of San
Jose, presided. Powell had two pre-
vious trials in this county which re-
suited in disagreement. The case was
then transferred to San Francisco at the
request of tine prosecution, and ver-
dict of manslaughter was secured. The
supreme court decided that the transfer
was illegal, and remanded the case back
here for trial. Today, out of venire of
seventy-fve persons, all but seventeen
were discharged for cause, and no per-
emptory challenges have been given by
either side. 1t is probable that only
two or three jurors will be secured from
this panel.

CHANGES IN THE CRATER OF KILAUEA.
Prof. Brigham, in his report to the
surveyors Office, concerning the recent
breakdown in the crater of the volcano
of Kilauea, says the entire fire area was

vanished and in their place was pit or
crater OF illlptical outline, $500 by 5000
feet in extent. The walls were perpen-
dicular and quite impossible. The esti-
mated depth was 800 feet. The break
down is slightly larger than that OF
1886, and differs in that after lapse of
only three weeks, molten lava has again
appeared, and the crater is filling up
rapidly.

SACRAMENTO, May ia controversy
has arisen between the state board of
examiners, consisting of the governor,
the secretary of state and the attorney
general, and the supreme court justices
and officers. The examiners have cues
toned bills sent in by the supreme
court for their late trip to Los Angeles.
Chief Justice Beatty and Justice Patter-
sons bills were cut down 80 cents each,
Justice Harrison's 81, Justice Sharpstein
70, and those of the court attaches from
50 cents to 50.
Secretary of State Waite, by whose
authority the reductions were
made, stated to a re- porter that
the board of examiners was re-
sponsible. There are 240 state officers,
and some check had to be placed upon
them in the matter of expenses, or the
board of examiners might as we'll be
abolished. He did not believe in even
the supreme court justices charging
tips" given palace car porters to the
state, and he did not think it right that
the secretaries or clerks or balliffS OF
the supreme court should, in travelling.
engage an entire section of sleeping
car.
In further proof that there must be
some safeguard in such matters, Mr..
Waite said that few weeks ago state
official had charged for three decks of
playing cards and poker chips. The
board excluded the item.
Another official had charged for SER
vices for himself and assistant in Sacra
mento, and it had developed that the
services had consisted of the officials ef-
forts to have lobbied through the legis
lature an increased appropriation for his
own benefit. He refused even to give
the name of his assistant, and his claim
was knocked out.
In still another instance it was ascer-
tanned that the travelling officials "as-
sistant, and for whom expenses were
asked, was bis own wife, who was TAX
ing pleasant jaunt. Secretary Waite
said that he is not inclined to criticise
what previous boards of examiners have
done, but he intimated that the various
boards and officials entitled to travelling
expenses, will have to be little more
careful in future in sending in their
claims.
