has almost reached the million mark.
Commissioner Evans has issued state
ment showing that at the beginning OF
the fiscal year the pensioners number
ed 983, 52S, an increase Of 1850 for the
last year. In that year 50.lO1 new
pensions were granted, and 1871 per-
sons were restored to the rolls. Old
age and disease, however, are making
great inroads in the lists, for there were
81 800 deaths in the year. Other
sources of loss were 1,O74 from remar
riage of widows, 1,S45 orphans attained
majority, 1883 failures to claim pensi-
ons and $3.50 losses from unrecorded

1T is understood that the reply of
Secretary Sherman to the last Japan
csc protest against the annexation of
Hawaii will he brief by comparison
with the long letters that have gone
before, but will be conciliatory in tone.
This is accounted for by the fact that
the state department has taken note of
the published utteranees of eminent
japanese statesmen, which, while I'M
official, are still of undoubted authen-
ITCHY, all going to show that Japan has
herself no design Oh the islands, but
seeks only to preserve her treaty rights.
However, the basic tone of the note on
this point viii be the declaration by
Secretary Foster when he submitted to
President Harrison the original treaty
of annexation in 1898, which failed
owing to the immediate change of Ad-
ADMINISTRATION. This statement was that
according to recognized principle of
international law, the obligations of
treaties, even when some Of their slip
ulations are in terms perpetual, expire
in case either Of the contracting parties
loses Its eXistance as an Independent
state.
Fhe foreign treaties of the Hawaiian
islands, therefore, terminate, upon an
neSation, with the competence of the
government thereof to hold diplomatic
relations. This argument is to meet the
japanese objections that they will by
annexation lose certain privileges for
japanese subjects which they now en-
JOY under treaty with Hawaii. The
circumstances under which Madagas-
car passed under French control may
be cited to support the governments
position in this contention, and it can
be shown by the enforced termination
of its treaty with the Malagassy go
ernment, the United States, which al
the time had a paramount trade inter
est in Madagascar, suffered the loss of
most favorable tariff rates upon our ex
ports to that island.
The second Japanese objection, tina,
annexation would disturb the balance
of power in the Pacific, will be met by
an elaboration of the argument thai
Hawaiian islands have for so long a
period been under the influence of the
United States, and have by tradition
become SO closely affiliated with this
country, that no sensible change in
policies OF actualities of goveramen,
may be expected to result from legal
merging of the islands into the United
States.

The gold product of South America
and Asia will add considerably to these
figures. Mr.. Preston estimates that by
the close of the present century the
annual yield of gold will he at least
$500, 100000. This estimate is based on
the wide extent of new discoveries and
on the larger product of old mines and
fields resulting from the application of
new and more economical and effec-
tive processes. During the past twenty
four years the total gold production of
the world has been s., 927, 234 900. The
production has been gradually increas-
ing since 1889 at rate which, in view
of the recent discoveries of extensive
gold fields in British Columbia, in the
British Northwest Territory east of
Alaska and in Alaska itself, justifies
the prediction that in three or four
years more it may re-. CHI $300,O00,0O0 a
year. If this should be the case the
next fifteen years will add nearly ST.
500,000,000 to the existing worlds stock
of gold, which is good deal more than
the entire gold coinage of the world, as
it was estimated in 1896. At this rate.
assuming S5O,OOo,OOO OF gold year to
be used in the arts, the worlds gold
coinage will lie doubled in less than
eighteen years. There is evidently
going to be gold enough and more than
enough to go around if all the countries
in the world should adopt the gold
standard.
