The assertion that the German fleet, I'M
der Prince Henry, will 10 to Samoa and
Hawaii, thus creating a menacing situation
for the United States. are ridiculed in all
oflcial quarters here. When the reports
were called to the attention of the German
representatives they laughed heartily at
the idea Of a German diversion against
Samoa or Hawaii Nothing of this kind
has ever been considered, they say The
German fleet will go TO China via the Suez
canal, and its destination is Kiao Chau.
bay Germany, the United States and Great
Britain are parties to a tripartite arrange
ment for the government of Samoa, and
although the plan has not proved satis-
factory, there has been no recent friction.
and at no time a condition which would call
for a naval demonstration. Germany has
taken no interest in the annexation of Ha-
wall to the United States, and her only in
terestS there are those of the ]. 400 German
citizens. who form a considerable part of
the wealthy sugar-planting community.

Of clothes? For those who desire to give
something on this order It is recommended
that the stock of Victor Z. Adler's clothing

nue and 9TH street. be inspected. Every
tfing in the line of pretty clothes. dress
up clothes, working clothes, and. in fact.
every variety of mans outer casing will
be found there, and at prices. too. that are
way below the average Christmas tariff.
Not only are the suits odd trousers and
odd coats and vests to be found there made
from the best material at the lowest price.
but they are cut in the best of style, and
v ould make Christmas gift that any one
would be proud of. In the matter of mems

II the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Allow me to heartily indorse the views Of
"A Clerk in your issue of this evening
(Friday). He only voices the sentiments of
that much-abused class, the government
clerk. 1 merely wish to emphasize his very
just remarks by a few suggestions. which
may perhaps solve the problem between
the "clerkists'' and the economists" We
all know the burden Of that old song, 1.-The
treasury is depleted; we must economize;
let us cut down the government employees"
Well, II 1t is SO, If the United States is 80
badly OF as to have to economize to the ex-
tent OF pairing on a slice from each salary
by all means let us do it. and do it on
large scale. without stint or scruple. and
not confine ourselves merely to one grade
or class Of employees; let the economy per-
wade all ranks. If the United States has
to look out for it's pennies. let it begin by
sweeping in the pounds. There are several
other sources for Uncle Sam to rake in his
needed dollars in order to make his two
ends meet, besides cheese-paring his clerks.
For instance, IL a reduction Of 10 per cent
is taken as a basis for argument there
would be less hardship endured by a MEM
Der of Congress FORGETTING $500 out Of his
5000 than by $500 clerk to be reduced to
$50. And then what a nice round sum
would be economical! On an average Of
800 members, there would be at once $780,
coo annually! What an economy! Anen,
also, why should not our higher body work
for nothing, just for the glory of being a
senator, as in Great Britain. where the
house of lords is not remunerated? 1t
would be SO English you know! Just fancy!
Five thousand dollars saved some eighty
eight times-about $780, 900 annually! What
an economy! Why, we should soon have to
enlarge the vaults of the treasury! OF
course, this latter measure might entail the
creation Of an aristocracy of money: only
Astors and Vanderbilts could afford to be
senators. Well, what harm, after all? A
millionaire has learned the science of TAX
ing care Of his own shekels, and might be
intrusted Wiz the care of those of Uncle
Sam. But, then. the economy! Nearly
three-Quarters of q million q year! That
cheese pairing would certainly pay! Whewi
II the cheese has to be pared, let it be a
wholesale pairing. The only difficulty in
view Is to find who can hang the bell round
the cats neck. MANY CLERKS.
