The steady persistence of the enor-
nous excess of merchandise exports
over imports continues to be a puzzle to
the best Informed Of the Treasury ex-
perts. An excess of merchandise over
imports amounting to $615, 432s676 for
the first fiscal year 1899, Ia apparently
10 he followed by a similar excess of
$3.50, 600, 900 for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1900. The ten months ending
with April have already yielded an ex-
cess of exports of 1856, 495, l4l, which is
trifl. less than the corresponding bal
ance in 1898 and 1899, but is really
greater when the reduced imports of
gold are taken into the account. From
present appearances the three fiscal
years ending with June will show mer-
chandise balances 10 favor of the United
States amounting to nearly $1.700, 000,-
600 ffaet by gold imports of only about
Sic, 100000. The silver movement,
moreover, will show balance of exports
during rhe same period amounting to
about $50 900, 600 and having the appar-
ent balance OF these several trims upon
the face of the returns at 81 ,600, 600, 000

TOMMY atkins, AMERICAN
OTTO MAAHS' CONFUSION OF
NATIONALITIES.
A Sailor on the Dominion Who is Hav-
ing a Hard Time Proving What Flag
is His.

The British bark Dominion, Captain
Rodd, brought among her crew a young
man named Otto Maahs, who was a
British soldier in South Africa in the
early part of the Boer war and who
has become involved in lot of puzzling
complications in the matter of nation
atty
I Maahs shipped on the Dominion at
Newcastle, or at least he took passage
on her. He signed no shipping articles,
and after the ship was out and Captain
Rodd asked him to sign he refused, so
that Captain Rodd is wondering wheth-
er TO treat Maahs as stowaway or not.
Maahs claims that he is an American
citizen but he carries with him a bit
of paper telling of his discharge from
the British army in South Africa. 1t
is signed by Major "OPENS, of "Opens
Light Horse, and bears testimony to
the good character of Trooper Maahs.
The British army does not follow the
custom of allowing foreigners to enlist,
but Maahs insists that he is a subject
of Uncle Sam and intends to claim
American protection in securing MS
rights from the ship
Maahs says he was born in New York
state. A year ago he went from New
Orleans to Capetown, at the opening
of the Boer war, joining the "Opens
Light Horse, in which he served from
the 18th of February to the 18th OF
May. Then he lit out for other pas
lures. Two month ago he struck the
bark Dominion at Newcastle and he is
with her yet.
Captain Rodd says he wants Maahs
to prove that he is an American citi-
zen Then the captain will know how
to discharge him. But discharge from
the British army is not very good proof
of American citizenship, and the cap
tain does not want to run against the
shipping laws of either nation. Rodd
is a Britisher, in charge of British
ship, and he says that If Maahs VIII
find q way of establishing his nation
atty there will be no trouble.

RULES ADOPTED.
Lawyers Accept Suggestions of Justice
Perry.

Perry.
At the special meeting of the Bar As
ISOLATION, held in the United States
district court room yesterday after
noon, the new Supreme Court rules
suggested by Justice Perry were adopt
ed. Discussion was confined to Sec
ton 9, in regard to the time for filing
briefs. The opinion of many was that
the time was being cut too short, but
as there We're other excellent points in
the section it was adopted. The section
reads as follows:
At least ten days before a case is call
ed for argument counsel for the plain
tiff in error or appellant shall file three
typewriter or printed copies of his
brief and serve at least one copy on
counsel engaged on the opposite side.
At least five days before the case is
called for argument counsel for the
defendant in error of appellee shall file
three typewriter copies of his brief
and serve at least one copy on counsel
engaged on the opposite side.
At least twenty-four hours before
the case is called for argument counsel
for the plaintiff in error or appellant
may file typewriter or printed reply
to the brief filed by counsel on the OPP
posite side.
No further briefs shall be filed eX-
cept by special permission of the court
When according to this rule, a plain
tiff in error or an appellant is in de-
fault, the case may be dismissed or
motion, and when a defendant In error
or an appellee is in default he viii moi
be heard except by special leave of the
court.

SUICIDE RECALLED.

A petition for letters of administra-
ton filed in the Circuit Court yesterday

outka came here from Santa Rosa, Cali
fornia last December or January and

but the fact was not discovered until
two or three days later when his body
in an advanced state of decomposition
was discovered lying on the floor of his
room. The community was then in the
midst of the plague excitement and the
discovery of this body in the condition
it was, created a sensation, the first
thought of everyone on hearing of it,
being that it was another plague VIC
tim. Although it was clearly shown
that death was self-inficted by shoot
ing, the body was cremated as mat
ter of precaution
Peroutka left a long letter detailing
his family troubles and giving the
names and addresses of his wife and
daughter who lived in Minnesota. He
asked Harry Armitage to take charge
of his estate.
The petition for letters of administra-
tion states that the estate is valued at
800, consisting of 100 shares of Waia-
lua stock $74.6O in cash, and $25 in
jewelry The wife and daughter are the
only heirs.
