FATE OF MoRFoLk ISLAND.
II has Been Seized and Annexed by
New sOuth Wales.

II Has iieen seized and Annexed 5y
New south wales.
Another little republic has been sb-
sorbed and lis individuality lost IN al
greater and more powerful state, says
the New York Sun. Very quietly the
self-governing island of Norfolk in the
South Pacific ocean has been annexed
by the government Of New South Wales.
The inhabitants of this primitive settle
ment are the descendants of the mutt
neers of the Bounty. who took refuge
on Pitcairn island In 1859. In 1856 the
islanders had so far increased in num-
bers that Pitcairn island was INSULT
, cient for their needs, so many migrated
to the larger island of Norfolk, where
they continued their own form Of gov
ernment.
Unfortunately their laws and meth
DDS, though entirely satisfactory to
themselves, recently excited the unfa-
vorable notice of the governor of New
| South Wales. The chief fault of the
system seemed to be that there was no
paid policeman and no prison, and that
consequently debts were difficult of re-
covery and crime could not be punished
adequately. Although the islanders
unanimously declared against being
handed over to New South Wales and
prepared to follow their own customs,
The British government has sanctioned
the Incorporation, and this quaint and
fourishing commune has come to an
end Settlers are to be encouraged to
farm upon the island by the cheap sale
of land. Public houses, or saloons
which were formerly forbidden. will
doubtless be allowed, and all that was
distinctive in the community is doomed

HATS AND eoNNErs.

The spring millinery has the enviable
advantage of improving with age, and
hats cannot be much prettier than we
find them now, after all the subtle
changes have wrought out their saliva

in this department is the use Of silk
canvas, q soft, durable material, which
comes in all colors and has many uses.

Is twisted around the crowns, forming
rosettes and outstanding loops on
others.
Chiffon and tulle are both very much
employed, and very swell large hats are
made of alternatenrows of black silk,
straw and double frills of black chiffon.
Chiffon is softly twisted around the
crown, and feathers and flowers are
the finish, one gorgeous red rose with
few green leaves tucked under the
brim at one side, being especially chic

used for toques made with crinkled or
draped brims. One model in light green
has an upright bow of black lace, with
white applications. and a bunch of vio-

Violet, pink and geranium red are the
most popular colors in millinery, and
what may be termed ruche, OF red pop
pies, is arranged all around the crown
Of red straw hats. A bunch of flowers

aigrette, is another feature Of the new
millinery, and it Is a very effective as

TAXING FOREIGN SHIPPING.
The United States More Liberal Than
other Countries.

The annual report of the bureau of navi-
cation was transmitted to Secretary Gage
today, and will be ready for distribution
shortly. 1t comprises $50 pages, including
statistical tables Commissioner Chamber
lain shows that as the result of admins
about by the bureau during the last four
years, an annual continuing gain 10 the
government of $4,000 has been effected,
and saving in the burdens on ship owners
of $4,000, making.a total of s173,OO0 annual
gain to the government and American ship
owners. The annual appropriation for the
bureau is less than $1,000.
After pointing cut the nature of expendi-
lures for maritime purposes, amounting an
nually to about $50 000, 900. the report dweils
upon the different methods of raising
money to meet these expenditures in the
United States and Great Britain, shown g
that three-fCurths of the tonnage in for
eign trade entering and clearing ports CT
The united kingdom is British shipping, yet
vessels are taxed to maintain the light
house service and for other maritime pur
poses in that country.
Though three-fourths of the tonnage in
foreign trade entering and clearing ports
of the United States is foreign. foreign
slipping contributes only about $6JO,O00 to
the expenditures Of $200U0,OO0.
The United States is more liberal In its
charges toward British, German and
French shipping than are those countries
respectively to their shipping. This mat
ter is referred to one requiring the con-
sideraton of Congress.

MINISTER ANGELL'S DEMAND.
Turkey, 1t Is Believed, VIII Postpone
q settlement.

Edhim Bey. the new Turkish charge, who
recently arrived here. states that he has
received instructions thus far relative
TO the reported demand made by DR.. Angel,
the United States minister at Constan-
tirople. for a speedy payment of indem-
Bity for the destruction of American mis-
sion property in Turkey.
Ii is believed that Turkey will seek to
postpone settlement on the ground of Il
depleted treasury. This was the basis for
d former postponement. The excuse is
less effective now. however, as Turkey is
10 receive a large cash indemnity from
Greece. The first intention was 10 use the
indemnity for reconstructing the Turkish
navy, but Russia promptly intervencd
and pressed for the payment Of a balance
due on the old Russo-Turk.sh war debt.
This demand sufficed to stop the plans for
rebuilding the Turkish navy and Turkey
will have on hand ut an early day Il large
sum taken from Greece as indemnity
1t is felt that Minister Angeirs pressing
for payment of the American claims is due
largely TO his knowledge that Turkey is
about 10 have a replenshed treasury. When
the claims were pressed the last time Rus
sia took friendly interest in the matter
and called the attention of the United
states government to the fact that Turkey
was practically bankrupt.
III Is said at the State Department that
no new claims have been filed since ex-
Minister TerrelrS presentation of the sub
1ect several months ago, and that Minister
Angel is now merely pressing them to n
definite conclusion.
