commissioners. The scale of charges
adopted by the chief justice in registering
titles, etc, is very heavy, the cost being
Mt least $12. These fees all go to the
clerks of the supreme court and in the aggre
gate will constitute very large sum. over
$50, 900, on claims already filed for adjudi-
cation. The rates for copying are also
large. A good writer can earn $1,000 per
month at them by working eight hours
day. The clerk CT the supreme court says
it will take from ten to fifteen years work
to finish the land claims.
A meeting of taxpayers was held and
committee elected to draw up list of the
necessary alterations in the treaty. The
following changes were proposed at pub
lie meeting by the committee: The sub
stitution of mayor for the president
thereby saving 5000 or $4,000 year and
increasing the powers of the municipal
magistrate; FL shall equal S. of United
States coin; twenty gold marks shall
equal IS; Chilean currency shall no longer
be legal tender in Samoa; export duties
to be abolished; to tax opium $50 per
pound to prevent natives from becoming
opium users.
Several native meetings have been held
to consider what is to be done in regard to
the Malietoa affair. 1t was decided that
Mataafa must go to the seat of govern
ment and make friends with the king.
The supporters of Mataafa, however, want
him to be made either vice king or pre-
mier. This is considered cool request, as
Mataafa is a prescribed rebel. The gov
eminent is very weak. however, and
cannot break up the semi-rebellion with
out hard fight.
Affairs in Samoa are in bad condition.
and the whites are getting the worst of
it. Their taxes are all paid, while the
natives are two years in arrears. The

BURNED BY TRAMPS.
Big Vacant House Destroyed
This Morning.
NO MATCHES LYING AROUND.
Property at Hayes and Silver Streets
Recently Sold by j. Fl. MORT to
an Olympia Nan.

A large two-story frame house with q
one-story addition at the southeast cor
ner of Silver and Hayes streets, about three
blocks southeast of Grace hospital, was
burned to the ground between the hours
of 1 and o'clock this morning.
The house was built by John II. Mort,
grading contractor, who owned and occu-
pied it up to few months ago, when he
traded it to man, whose name could not
be learned this morning, for farm near
Olympia. He moved to the farm some
months ago, and since then the house has
been vacant, as the new owner also lives
in Olympia.
The man who owns the property now
was here few days ago to inspect 1t. He
went through the house with neighbor
and was very careful to see that no matches
had been left where rats could get at them.
This neighbor said he thought the owners
name was Barley.
Mrs. Dolan. who lives close by, is sure
that tramps set the house on tre- She
says that yesterday morning che was
awakened by some one hammering on he-
door. She thinks that this rude awaken
ing had something 10 do with the start
ing of the fire. Be this as it may, the 20
lice and firemen are of the opinion that
the fire was of incendiary origin.
The alarm was turned in by the clerk of
the Abbott house, at Third and Pike
streets, over half a mile from the location
of the blaze. The department went TO
the wrong place and then found
it impracticable TO go to where the
fire really was. At any rate there was no
,ra.a- tba-a and the hose warOu and
hook and ladder truck which reached the
scene could do nothing but protect neigh
Loring property.
The house was valued at about $50. Il
was insured at the time Of the sale but the
policy had probably lapsed because the
house had no tenant.

THE ANARCHIST SCARE.
Thirty Dynamiters Leave Paris for New
fork-The Anniversary OF 184S.


PARIS, March 1s.-Thirty anarchists
have decamped to London. They have
requested friends to furnish enough
money to enable them to reach New
York. A chamber of deputies COM
mission has adopted the bill
making it capital offense to blow up
houses with dynamite. The government
fears that the communists will take adj
vantage of the anarchistic disturbances to
cause trouble on the anniversary of the
fall of the commune on May 81 Special
military and civic precautions have been
taken to prevent it.
BERLIN, March 1S-The anniversary of
the revolution of 1913 was marked by no
unusual occurrence. Many Socialists pro-
ceeded to Moab cemetery. but the police did

Church Party Fighting Chilean Liberals.

SANTIAGO, Chile, March 1s.-For the
first time since the success of the revolu-
ton against Balmaceda, there is open
hostility between the elements that
combined to accomplish the revo-
luton. The clericals have come to the
conclusion that President Montt means
to keep them in the background ard
that their potent influence will not be re-
warded by the political performance they
desire. The fact is said to be that large
majority of the Cniieans are Liberals, and
the president has decided to go with ma
jority, even if he has to face the hostility
of the Clericals, whose newspaper organs
are fercely assailing the new cabinet.

Indifference.

The indifference and willing
ness on the part Of consum-
ers to purchase adulterated
articles because they are
offered at a lower price, has
become so general that many
grocers find it difficult to ham
die pure products. If Gus
toners will understand that
the cheap are always the
adulterated, and will pay the
fair cost of a genuine article,
they will lend the only help
ing hand that will secure a
radical reformation. 1t is a
fact that there is no class of
articles used in the prepare
ton of food that is so COM
monty and systematically
debased as favoring extracts.

Tho Decentralization of Cotton.

WASHINGTON CRY, March 1s.-The
March report of the statistical department
of agriculture shows that the production
of the cotton of the world exceeded the
consumption by more than 100000 bales
in 1880, and the increase of visible stock in
1891 is !, 100. 900 bales. The price of mid
ding uplands in Liverpool fell from 61zd
in January. 1890. to AID in January 1892.
This country produced an excess above the
normal requirements in two years of more
than 1900, 600 bales. A large reduction of
the acreage is the only remedy for this
state of affairs.
