THE WORLDS FAIR BILL.
Never Had Emergency Clause-Attorney-
General Jones Gave No Opinion.

TACOMA, Aug. Z. - Especial - Ezra
Meeker publishes notice in the Neics this
evening that the organization of the
Worlds fair commission having been de-
clared illegal, meeting of the members
OF the commission will be held at Olympia
August p, to elect officers, an executive
committee of nine and a commissioner.
He says it is important that all the men,
bers attend, as grave complications have
resulted from hasty action Of the commits
sioners.
OLYMPIA, Aug. 7.-[Special. Attorney
General Jones, who arrived here today,
says that he has been misquoted in the
report that he had expressed an official
opinion in the matter of the date when
the Worlds fair law took effect. His at
tention was called to it last night in
Tacoma, and he simply talked the subject
over with members of the fair ex-
ecutive committee The matter is now
before him officially, and after examining
the questions involved he will write an
opinion. 1t is urged by some that as the
Worlds fair law contained an appropria-
ton it went into effect upon approval,
but this view Is not generally thought to
be correct, as the appropriation was
only incidental to the main purpose of
the measure. 1t is only appropriation
bills pure and simple that take
effect Immediately, according to the best
authority here. The most that can be
properly claimed for the Worlds fair law,
it is stated, is that the appropriation
clauses took effect at once. But even if
that were true, it would not make any sub
stantial difference, as the appropriation
could not be legally used before the lawful
organization of the commission. No emer-
gency clause was in the original bill and
the journals of both houses show that no
emergency amendment was adopted. This
disposes of the suggestion that the emer-
gency clause was omitted in enrolling the
bill. The case is clearly one of oversight.

The Charleston 20 Go to HonoluIu.

WASHINGTON CRY, Aug. 1T was stated
at the navy department today that the
Charleston, which arrived at San Fran
cisco yesterday, would be sent without
delay TO Honolulu. THERE'S at present no
American war vessel at that port, and it is
thought that this country should be rep
resented there above almost any other
country on the western continent. The
Charleston will therefore be dispatched
without delay. The officers of the Ranger
who have not served the required time at
sea will be transferred for the present to
the Independence and placed on waiting
orders to afford an opportunity to put the
former ship out of commission at Mare
Island navy yard while repairs are being
made. The vessel will receive a general
overhauiing, particularly her boilers.
SAN Francisco, Aug. TIT is expected
that the Charleston will leave for Homo
lulu in about three weeks, as another rev.
olution is feared.

of congress to enact suitable laws granting
the same. This amendment recognizes
and protects two great classes of financial
obligations. The one is to those who held
the securities of the government issued to
raise money to carry on the war; the other
Is to those who took the persoal risks Of
war and whose patriotism and valor saved
the Union. The heroism of the men in
arms made the great cause triumphant
preciated obligations held by public
creditors into glittering gold and now
when this mighty obligation of the old
soldiers has matured. because of their i'm
frmities and their weight of years, shall il
be denleu them because the sum is large?
In 1850 the interest charge upon the public
debt was nearly $751;. $4,000, and the pen
sions were So, 500, 600; an aggregate of $i6o-
100000. The public creditor expected bis
interest, and 1T was paid by the people
without abatement. The population was
then 35,000,000, and this annual charge OF
interest and pensions was 1857 per
almost paid. It Is no longer
burden. The hondholders have re-
ceived 5000, 10000 in interest and pre-
NUNS since July 1, 1861. The pensioners
have received 81 ,2S4, III. 900. The present
interest charge for 1851 is 1886, 40S 600, and
the pensions for this year will cost $fl6,-
100000, or an annual aggregate of interest
and pensions of S152. 40s 600. We now have
a population of 63,000,000, so that this
annual expense of interest and pensions is
$2.44 per capita. The gratitude of this
nation to its defenders should be measured
by the value of the service rendered and
the financial ability of this people to re-
spond to the demands of just pension
legislation.

BARK ALICIA scUTTLED AT AP1A.
The Steward and Crew Charge the Cap
tain With the Deed.

The Steward and Crew Charge the Cap
tain With the Deed.
SAN Francisco, Aug. 7.-Steward III. NJ.
Moulton, of the bark Alicia, which was
stranded in Apia harbor, Samoa, last Feb
ruary, arrived on the Alicia yesterday.
To a Chronicle reporter he made grave
charges against John c. Broadhurst, cap
tain and part owner of the Alicia. Moui-
ton says that when the Alicia left New
castle she was leaking slightly, and put
into Apia. She was surveyed and pro-
nounced seaworthy. Her cargo was partly
discharged and she was surveyed again,
this time being condemned. That night she
was blown ashore by gale while
the captain and the crew were ashore.
The Alicia was then sold to wrecking
firm. Moulton charges that after the first
survey the captain scuttled the ship in
order to secure the insurance. The Alicia
was insured in the Union Insurance COM
pany for 1000, but owing TO these charges
the company refused to pay, and suit was
brought here today TO compel the payment
of insurance. The attorney of the insur-
ance company says he has an affidavit
sworn TO before the British consul at Apia
by several of the Alicias crew, which cor
roborates Moulton's charges. Captain
Broadhurst, who is IN the city, denies the
charges

NEW YORK CITY OFFICIAL.
He Talks of the Finances OF the Great
Municipality.

Mr. and Mrs. o. mcdaniel, of New York city,
who are travelling for pleasure, are stopping at
the Diller hotel. Mr.. Macdaniel was for nearly
twenty years assistant comptroller of the city of
New York, and he is now clerk OF arrears. His
mastery of the city's finances has kept him in
Office during every change in the city's politics
during two decades. He saw Tweed rise and
fall, and he has witnessed the struggles and the
victories OF Tammany, the County Democracy,
Irving hall and the Republicans.
"New York city now pays half OF the taxes of
the state" he said last night sour annual
municipal appropriations are upwards OF $685.
oOO.OoO; but since we have from other sources
than the taxes an income of several millions,
the tax levy is only about 100000. This gives
a rate Of 1 90 per cent. on valuation of from 40
10 60 per cent of the market price of property.
So you see that New York's taxes are really low.
Ii city property were assessed at actual value,

Arrested for Cheating Bonanza Fair.

SAN Francisco, Aug. 7.-Bayard Saville,

of ex-senator James G. Fair, has been
charged with obtaining money under false

ex-Secretary Bayard, of Wilmington, DEL,
and on the strength thereof induced Sem
ator Fair to indorse draft for $500 on the

no money in the bank. The latter had
