ratatroura island, aud from there il
was sent by the schooner Levani 10
Tahiti, where the intelligence was
freely canvassed but doubted by many
who thought that after passing through
so many mouths it had become eXag-
gerated.
The same source OF information had
it that the schooner Tolua, the Counts
trading vessel, had been chartered by
an Australian company OF traders some
weeks before the death OF Festetics,
who, in his eccentric way, made the
new managers OF the vessel agree TO
land him and the Countess at Peuryn
island, where Count FestetieS had be
come a fast friend of the few inhabi-
tants OF the island, and also TO deliver
the vessel TO him there at the expira-
ton OF the contract
The simple life with the limited so
ciety seemed To suit the Count, and 1t
is said that he was rapidly adapting
himself To the customs or the natives
a. well az TO their mode of dress The
strange titled couple were living hap
ply on the island until the Count was
taken i'll. He was far removed from
civilization and medical attendance
could not be secured for him. His
sickness was short, and in few hours
after he was taken i'll he expired.
The Tolna sailed from San Fran
cisco on October 9Th OF last year, and
after a short stay at Honolulu started
TO visit the out-of- the places OF
the Pacific Ocean on a trading cruise.
She was built at Benicia for Count
Festetfcs, and when she was about
completed the Count took course OF
instruction at a naval school
The day the Oceanic sailed for Ho-
nOIulu the Examiner published the
following interview with Lloyd TevIs
regarding the rumOr Of the Counts
death:
"This rumor first reached me at this
moment he said. II have the latest
advices that have come direct from
them, and the last eCter, which was
from the Countess Festetlcs, reached

Count Festetics is dead \ least
that is the news brought from the
south Pacific islands 10y the barken-
tine Tropio Bril-, which arrived IA san
Francisco from Tahiti one week ago.
The news came ia a very roundabout
way, yet some OF the passengers OF the
vessel who had become acquainted
with the Austrian nobleman were in
clined 20 believe that it was true.
Rumor has it that his death occurred
ia one OF the small islands OF the PEN
ryn group, where he aud the Countess
have been living in perfect harmony
with the tifty OF sixty natives who
compose the population OF the small
speck OF land ia tho south Pacific
ocean.
The news OF the death Was taken
from that island by a small schooner
which Is said to have called there soon
after the Count had been buried, To

seeking this alliance the agrariaus have
offered to conclude compact, the terms
OF which the old conservatives would have
shrunk from in dismay.
THE sTAFFEL TARIFF.
The proposal to abolish the stafTel tariff
is opposed to the agricultural interests Of
eastern Prussia, and as a consequence
the Polish vote in the ReichslaC, upon
which the government has counted with
confidence, has become very shaky. In
the lobby of the Reichstag the drift of
opinion has also become materially altered
from last week IS estimate of the number
Of centerists who would support the treaty.
Still, If the Official calculation holds out,
the governments ma ority in favor of the
treaty will be at least thirty, and it may
go considerably higher.
The emperor will remain in Berlin
throughout the debate and may be de-
pended upon to make his influence felt.
Under the most favorable circumstances
1t will be month before the treaty can
passed through its final stages.
The financial proposals of Sgnori
Crispi and SOnnino have given the
Bouerse a shock. Italian fives, which are
largely held here, have dropped 3 per
cent. since yesterday. The proposed clip
ping OF the fives, under the conversion,
into per cents, is held as a breach of
faith with the holders of the bonds.

der Indictment.

some days, shows that several state Off
GERS have been guilty Of extensive specu-
latlons from the state treasury The

them the right to collect from the state
BY table copied from the books
In the auditors Office, the Journal shows
that every time one of these officials
served on any one of the boards OF which
he is an eX-otticio member, he charged for
mileage from his residence to Lansing,
hotel bills and extra services. and
although meetings Of different boards
were held on the same day in the same
building, mileage and hotel expenses
were charged up in each instance. After
marked progress had been made in it's in
vestigations. the Journal was denied
further access to the books, and the full
extent OF the peculations could not be as
certained.

ARMY oFF1oERs IN CONGRESS-.
The Second Controller Declares
Them Inelicible.

Washington, Feb. M.-Secretary OF
War Lamont to-day received from Second
Controller Mansur the decision In tho
case Of Gen. Sickles which, while setting
forth strong arguments against the quail
ication of retired army officer TO enter
congress. finds that Gen. Sickles cannot
be divested of his retired pay, amounting
to 50, 625 annually, and continues to hold
his military office. In his conclusion the
controller shows himself clearly Of the
opinion that Gen. Sickles was Ineligible to
election as q mem Der of congress, and was
not qualified to take the oath OF Office, and
this will tend to prevent retired officers
in the future from entering congress.
