Compared with those of the Presi.
dent of France, the emoluments of
the. President of the United States
are considerably less. Every one
knows that the chief executive of this
country receives salary of $4,000
year, but the other expenditures for
which the nation allows him people
are, in general, less cognizant of.
His private secretaries, clerks, door
keepers cost $50, 900 annually; SIS, 900
is at theaPfesident's disposal for buy
ing furniture for the White House
and for keeping it in repair; $4,000 is
allowed for fuel, and $4,000 for main
tanning the green houses up to the
mark. The total cost is, therefore,
about &c., 900 per year:
The bare salary of the President of
the French republic is $4,000, or
$4,000 more than this counntry's
total expenditure for a chief exeGq-
tive. In addition to this, tile French
President is allowed the services OF

taries, a small army of men servants

VINEYARD HAVEN, Mass, Jan. %.
The twenty-five men picked up from
open boats off Long Island on Monday
morning by the schooner Helen H.
Benedict, were landed here last night
and left today for New York, whence
they sailed last Sunday.
Their ship was the steamer J. W. Haw-
kins, recently purchased at Baltimore for
an alleged Cuban cruise, and she sailed
from New York On Sunday night, having
on board between Is and 100 men bound,
it is claimed. to join the Cuban insur-
gents.
The rescued men report that when the
steamer was off the eastern end of Long
Island she sprang a serious leak and the
water gained so rapidly on her that all
hands were obliged to take to the boats.
The schooner Alicia b. Crosby which
arrived here later in the day, brought
thirteen more men from the steamer
Hawkins. The men displayed great anx-
iety to get back to New York, and would
have very little to say about their af-
fairs. 1t was learned. however that one
of their number had been lost The
men were transferred to Woods Hole as
soon as possible after their arrival and
sent to New York by the earliest steamer.
