Mr.. Carlisle. Secretary Of tho Treasury
to the working of the Sherman Act, in which
he says The records of the Treasury De
pArtment show that during the IL months
ending May l last the coin Treasury notes
issued for the purchase of silver bullion under
the Act amounted to S49, 96l, 1874, and in the
same period the amount Of such notes paid in
gold was $47 ,745, l73. 1t thus appears that
all silver bullion purchased in that period,
with the exception of $2,2l6, oil. was paid for
in gold, while the bullion itself Is stored in
the vaults of the Treasury and can neither be
sold nor used for the payment of any kind of
obligations. How long the Government shall
thus be compelled to purchase silver bullion
and increase the public debt by issuing coin
obligations in payment for it is a Question
which Congress alone can answer. Il 10
evident that il this policy b. continued. and
the Secretary Of the Treasury be compelled
to issue bonds or otherwise INCREASE the inter-
est-bsaring public debt, it will be done for
the purpose of procuring gold in which to
pay for the silver bullion purchased under
MIR. ShermAn's ACT. The total oinags of
silver dollars from 1878 to June, 1893. has
been 4l9, 294,6 1886, fifty times as many as were
coined during the period from 1892 30 1873

Barbados of the sufferings of a large party Of
emigrants who were embarked last summer
from that Island for the Congo State. Some
500 started A few weeks back twenty-eight
returned in a miserable plight. 1t is stated
that some were shot down by Belgian soldi-
crs at the outset of their adventures, under
what circumstances l do not know. The rest
had been housed in miserable sheds, badly
fed and bal barously treated for trivial or
imaginary offences, They went away under
promises of high pay, and apparently under
the idea that they wee going to a British
Colony. There is no doubt that they were
grossly deceived, and it may be presumed that
somebody profted by the transaction. 1t
the efore behoves the Barbados authorities to
take steps which will make the recurrence Of
such frauds Impossible.

story of the burning Of the whaling bark
Sea Breeze is made as clear as could be
hoped for, and that is saying little. The
truth will be the harder to learn, because
even the survivors who came up on the San
Jose do not know ii.
When the steamer got to the wharf IL was
easy to pick out the unfOrtunates who had
gone a-T baliUg in the Sea Breeze. They
had nothing but what they stood up In and
not much OF that. Al any rate the whaleTs
who came up on the San Jose Will need a
new outfit all around.
The story they told fitted in perfectly to
the telegraphlc report already published.
The Sea Breeze left here on December 19,
going south. 1t is common practice for
whaling vessels making the southern season

The Sea Breeze had gotten down to Msdre
Island and was about 10 put out for the tip
10 Honolulu. The fire which destroyed the
vessel sprang I'D quite suddenly while the
hatchways were off. The flames made a
clean sweeD and the poTtbOats were afre
even while being lowered INTO the water
There were fOrtY-ODe men on board and
they lost everything The shore was only
geo yards distant and there was, fortunately
enough, no sea on. But any attempt to save
the vessel or cargo WAS cut Of the question.
Almost as soon as the crew had landed the
ship was mass Of flames and soon burned
to the waters edge.
The crew were looked after by the people
on MsdTe Island and the Governor sent them
on to San Bias, whence they were brought
up by the San Jose.
