THE WORK OF RELIEF.
The relief committee's storehouse was
not open yesterday except to register
applicants for work. The store will be
open to-day for the distribution OF pro-
visions, and the committeeman and
clerks there will need assistance, as
there will no doubt be a big rush. Per
sons willing to volunteer their services
will be heartily welcomed.
Six loads OF coal were sent to needy
families Yesterday. Captain Cowan
saws the committee now has plenty OF
coal to fill the orders already issued,
but needs carts to haul it. Two
cars OF the coal given by Mr.. Florsheim
arrived yesterday.
To-day a system OF issuing bread by
tickets will be begun, so as to regulate
the supply in accordance with the
needs OF the families.
Only one donation was received yes
terday, that being eight sacks OF Mon
arch flour from o. I. Rhodes. D. G.

serving OF aid cannot secure il, as all ap.
plications have to be passed on by tue

Last night the executive committee
met at the chamber OF commerce and
heard the reports OF members as to the
progress OF the work. The project OF
doing additional work to that furnished
by the city, so rs to let able-bodied poo-
pie in need earn what they receive, us
many OF them prefer TO do, came up Tor
discussion, and several plans were
talked Of The committee has no money
to pay 70, work, but it was suggested
that prco might be placed on the
stores and issue them in compensation
for work. No definite plan was finally
adopted.
The relief committee is short Of pota-
toes. which are much needed. They
would DC glad to receive donations OF
potatoes and also OF shoes. Shoes are
much needed and the committee has
had to buy some out OF it's scauty funds.
No more acceptable contribution could
be made by the charitably inclined.

congress will be completed in less than
two years.
Since 1886 congress has at each session
authorized the building of II or more
vessels, AMI the secretary of the navy
presents an earnest plea for the contin-
uance of this plan. He recommends the
authorization of at least one battle ship
and six torpedo boats. While / am dis
tlnctly in favor of consistently pursuing
the policy we have inaugurated in build
ing up a thorough and efficient navy. I
cannot refrain from the suggestion that
the congress should carefully take into
account the number Of unfinished ves-
sells on our hands and the depleted con-
dition OF our treasury in considering the
propriety of an appropriation at this
time to begin new work
The method of employing mechanical
b at navy yards through boards of
labor, and making efficiency the sole
test by which laborerS are employed and
continued, is producing the best results,
and the secretary is earnestly devoting
himself to its evelopment. Attention
is invited to the statement of his report
in regard to the workings of the system.
The secretary of the interior has the
supervision OF so many important SUBJ
Jects that his report is of especial value
and interest.

THANKS FOR WEEKS.
Costa Rica Did the Proper Act
Relations With Other Countries.

Costa Rica Did the Proper Act
Relations With Other Countries.
Costa Rica has lately testified its
friendliness by ~surrendering to the
United States, in the absence of a con-
vention of eXtraditIon, but upon duly
submitted evidence of criminality, a
noted fugitive from justice. 1t is trusted
that the negotiation of a treaty with
that country to meet recurring cases of
this kind will 0 be accomplished. In
my opinion, treaties for reciprocal eX-
tradition should be concluded with all
those countries with which the United
States has not already conventional az
engagements of that character. l have
deemed it fitting to express to the gov
erDments of Costa RIGA and Colombia
the kindly desire of the United States to
see their pending boundary dispute
finally closed by arbitration, in con-
formity with the spirit Of the treaty
concluded between them some years
ago.
Our relations with the French republic
continue to be intimate and cordial. l
sincerely hope that the extradition
treaty with that country, as amended by
the senate, will soon be operative.
While occasional questions affecting

laid of their birth have arisen in our in
terviews with Germany. Il relations
with that country continue satisfactory.
The questions affecting our relations
with Great Britain have been treated in
a spirit of frlendliness. Negotiations
are in progress between the two govern
Inents with a view to such concurrent
action as will make the award and regu-
lations agreed upon by the Behring sea
tribunal OF arbitration practically eff
f%eetive, and 1t is not doubted that Great
Britain will cooperate freely with this
country for the accomplishment of that
purpose. The dispute growing out OF
the documentary tolls imposed in the
Welland caual upon cargoes of cereals
bound to and from the lake ports of the
United States was adjusted by the sub
stltution Of a more equitable schedule of
charges, and my predecessor thereupon
suspended his proclamation imposing
discriminating tolls upon British transit
through our canals. A request for ad-
ditions to the list of ~eXtraditable Of

SAMOAN
Alliance With Foreign Powers
Commented Upon.

Led by a desire to compromise differ
ences and to contribute to the reStora-
ton OF order in Samoa, which for some
time previous had been the scene of
conflicting foreign pretensIons and ma
tive strife, the United States, depart
ing from its policy consecrated by a
century Of observance. entered four
years ago into the treaty Of Berlin,
thereby becoming jointly bound with
England and Germany to establish and
maintain Malietoa Laupepa as king of
Samoa. The treaty provided for a for
eign court of justice; a municipal coun-
ell for the district of Apia, with a for
eign president thereof, authorized to
advise the king; a tribunal for the set
Element of native and foreign land titles,
and a revenue system for the kingdom.
1t entailed upon the three powers that
part of the cost of the government
not net by the revenue of the islands.
Early in the life of this triple protecto-
rate the native dissensionS 1t was de-
signed to quell revived. Rivals defied
the authority of the new king, refusing
to pay taxes and demanding the election
of a ruler by native suffrage. Mataafa,
an aSpirant to the throne, and a large
number of his native adherents were
in open rebellion on n of the Islands.
Quite lately, at the request Of the
other powers and in fultiliment of its
treaty obligation, this government
agreed to unite in a joint military move
ment of such dimensions as would prob
ably secure the surrender of the insur-
gents without bl%oodshed. The war ship
Philadelphia was accordingly put under
orders for Samoa, but before she ar
rived the threatened conflict was pre-
cipltated by King Malitoea's attack
upon the insurgent camp. Mataafa wa
defeated and a number of men killed.
The British and German naval vessels
subsequently secured the surrender of
Mataafa and his adherents. The de-
feated chief and ten of his principal
supporters were deported to a German
island of the Marshall group, where
they are held as prisoners under the
joint responsibility and cost of the three
powers. G
This incident and the events leading
up to it signally illustrate the impolicy
of entangling alliances with foreign
powers.

THE CHINESE.
The Geary Law Was Net With

The Geary Law Was Met With
Much Opposition.
The legislation of last yeer known as
the Geary law, requiring the registra-
ton of all Chinese laborers entitled to
residence i'll the United States, and the
deportation of all not complying with
the provision of the act within the time
prescribed. met with much opposition
from Cinnamon in this country. Acting
upon tile advice of eminent counsel
that the law was unconstitutional, the
great mass of Chinese laborers, pending
Judicial inquiry as to its validity in
good faith. declined to apply for the
certificates required ny its provisions.
A test, upon proceeding by habeaS
corpus, was brought before the supreme
court. and oil May Is. 1893, a decision
was made by that tribunal sustaining
the law. 1t is believed that, under
the recent amendment of the act, eX-
tending the time for registration, the
desire to reside in this country will now
avail themselves of the renewed priv
ileges thus offered of establishing by
lawful procedure their right to remain,
and that thereby the necessity of en-
forced deportation may be to a great
degree avoided.
1t has devolyed upon the United States
minister at Pekin, as dean of the dipio-
matte body, and ill the absence of a rep
reSentatiye of Sweden aud Norway, to
press upon the Chinese government rep
aration for the recent murder of Swed-
ish missionaries at Sung Pu. This queS-
ton is of vital interest TO all countries
whose citizens engage i'll missionary
work in the interior.
By article IL of the general act of
Brussels, signed July 2, 1890. for the
SUPPRESSION OF THE SLAVE TRADE
and the restriction of certain injurious
commerce in the Independent States of
the Congo and in the adjacent zone of
Central Africa, the United States and
other signatoyy powers agreed to adopt
appropriate mean for the punishment
OF persons selling arms and ammunition
TO the natives and for the confiscation
of the inhibited articles. 1t being the
plain duty of this government to aid in
SURPRISING the nefarious traffic, i'm
pairing as il does the praiseworthy and
civiliZing effort o in progress in that
region, l Recommend that an act be
passed prohibiting. the sale of arms and
intoXicants TO native in the regulated

AMERICA.
Apology From observation-disclosures.
qua CanaI-Affairs With Hayti.

During the past year an American
citizen, employed in a subordinate COM
mercial position in Hayti, after suffer
ing a p%rotracted imprisonment on an
%unfounded charge of smuggling. was
finally liberated on judicial examina-
ton. Upon urgent representation
to the Haytian government a ssuita-
bic indemnity was paid to the sufferer.
By a law of Hayti, a sailing vessel,
having discharged her cargo, is refused
clearance until the duties on such cargo
have been paid. The hardship of this
measure upon American ship owners
who conduct the bulk of the carrying
trade of that country, has been insisted
OH with a view of securing the removal
of this cause of complaint.
Upon receiving authentic informa-
ton of the firing upon an American
mail steamer touching at the port of
Amapala because her captain refused
to deliver up a passenger in transit
| from Nicaragua to Guatemala upon de-
mand of the military authorities of Hon
duras, our minister to that country, un-

wanton act and demanded satisfaction.
The government of Honduras, actuated
by a n of justice, and in a spirit of
the utmost friendship, promptly dis
avowed the illegal conduct Of its off.

the occurrence.
1t is confidently anticipated that a
satisfactory adjustment will soon be
reached of the questions arising out of
the seizure and use of American vessels
by insurgents IN Honduras and the sub
sequent denial by the successful govern.
ment of commercial privileges to those
vessels on that account.

The convention between our govern

settlement and the adjustment of the
demands of the two countries against
each other, has been made effective by
the organization of the claims commits
sion provided for. The two govern
ments falling to agree upon the third
member OF the commission, the good
offices of the president of the Swiss re-
public were invoked, as provided in the
treaty, and the selection of the Swiss
representative in this country to COM
pIete the organization was gratifying to
the United States and Chill.
The veXatiOuS question of so-called
legation asylum for offenders against
the state and its laws was presented
anew in Chill by the unauthorized
action of the late United States minis
fer in receiving In his official residence
two persons who had failed In an at
tempt at revolution, and against whom
criminal charges were pending, grow

The doctrine Of asylum. as applied to
this case is not sanctioned by the best
