CORRESPONDENCE.
The Action of the Advisory Coun.
ella Correction.

Mr.. EDITOR: The criticism
upon the Advisory Council made
by "Annexationist" in last even
ing's Star is not only unjust, but
without any foundation. The
Council has never done any Of the
improper thingslof which "Annex-
ationist" accuses it. The mem
bers of that body have. never
ignored" the communications of
the Annexation Club or any other
body of their supporters. The
simple truth is that the communities
tions in question have never reach
ed the Council. have never been
presented, and consequently have
never had chance to be ignored"
or dealt with in any way, either
courteously or otherwise. It is
probable that the letter in the Star
was the first intimation majority
of the members ever had that such
documents were in existence.
When, where, how, and by whom
the respectful and proper petitions
of the Annexation Club are being
"side-tracked" is a matter it may
be well for the club to inquire into.
The facts cannot be very difficult
to get at.

FROM SAMOA.
A Tourist Gives His Opinion Of
Our Distant Neighbors.

From a gentleman who went to
Samoa on the Alameda we have
received a few lines announcing
his arrival, and hope to receive
further advices by later mails.
APIA, Jan. 3.-As at my depar-
ture. from Honolulu, you said you
would like to hear of my arrival
and how I liked Samoa, l send you
a few lines by the mail that closes
today. First impressions are not
always correct.
At a distance the Samoan ISL
ands look like a series of high
hills, but as you come into the bay
of Apia you can see that the hills
which rise to height of three or
four thousand feet are covered with
dense vegetation. The entrance to
the harbor of Apia is, as you are
probably aware, through a rather
narrow channel in the coral reef
which girts the island. It must
be an impossibility to take a sail
ing ship out in the face of a strong
inland gale. The most conspicu-
Gus object noticeable in the harbor
is the hull of the German frigate
which was wrecked with so many
other vessels, in the disastrous
hurricane of 1889.
On steamers anchoring, it is
at once surrounded by a fleet of
boats. The native outriggers take
off fruits and coral for sale, whilst
the othodox four-oared boats con-
vey passengers and visitors to and
from the ship. The town of Apia
may be said to consist of one street
which encircles the bay. There
are good many hotels, the prin-
cipal being the Tivoli, the charges
at which are moderate. [ must
not be too critical.
The natives seem to be a really
amiable lot of people. The men
have their bodies tatooed from
their waists to their knees. They
mostly wear the lavalava, a cloth
wound round the waist, and often
reaching the ankles. AS for the
women, many of them have in
addition to the Iavalava a scarf
thrown around the neck and hang
ing down around in front, thus
leaving their back and sides bare.
L thought L had seen cocoanuts
in perfection at Hawaii, but the |
groves here quite throw them into |
the shade both as to luxuriance
and extent of the civilizations. |
The chief exports are copra and
coffee. 1 have not yet been any
distance inland or far around the |
coast, but hope soon to make an
excursion inland with horses and |
guides. The heat here is certainly |
very great. There are very few
whites, said to number only about
800 to 400, whilst the natives num-
Der thirty to forty thousands. The
latter are always in chronic |
state of confusion. This week
there has been a new claimant to
the throne put forward.

Pennsylvania I'm the Ice Age.

In the ice age the thickness of the ice
which covered northeastern Pennsyl-
vania has been supposed have been great
enough to rise 2, 900 feet above the sea
level. Until short time ago, no signs
of glacial action had been discovered
at a loftier elevation than this, but John
G. Bravner has explored Elk mountain,
which is believed to be the highest
point in northern Pennsylvania, and
there he found scratches made by the
ice at an altitude of about 2,700 feet.
1t is evident, therefore, that the ice
sheet which overspread this region dur
ing the glacial epoch must have been
thicker than biologists have hitherto
thought.-New York Ledger.
