the remainder of the Society islands as
well as the Cook, Savage and islands Of
the Tonga group were explored. The
Ellice, Gilbert and Marshall islands
were also explored, and the island of
Guam was visited.
Along her course the Albatross made
soundings, those between here and the
Marquesas being the first ever made
along that route. About 100 miles
southeast of Guam, a depth of 4.3l3
fathoms, or nearly 81 miles was found.
There are only three deeper s~oundings.

fessor Agassiz says he examined coral
reefs in different parts of the South sea
and came to the conclusion that Oar.
wins theory regarding their formation
was untenable. The %corals, he says,
have grown up on shelves of the vol
canic islands.
The Albatross is still at Yokohama.

STATEMENT BY PAYNE.

Believes Congress Is Likely to Reduce the
War Revenue.
WASHINGTON, April 4.-The resolu'
ton of Chairman Payne Of the ways
and means committee, relative to the
treasury surplus and the probable in
come and expenses of the government,
is a mere preliminary to the determi.
nation by the ways and means commit.
tee whether it will be safe to recon.
mend any reduction in the present
sources Of income. After the adoption
Of the resolution by the house Mr..
Payne authorized the following state.
ment:
1.-The object Of the resolution is to get
information from the secretary of the
treasury that will enable the ways and
means committee to determine whether
s is safe to attempt a reduction of the
revenue, and in case that is decided
afirmatively, then along what lines this
reduction should be made. It is true
there is a surplus of Sd, ZOO, 900 for the
nine months ending Saturday last and
SIG, 500, 900 for the month of March.
Whether this surplus is to be increased
or not for the balance of the fiscal year
is n Of the questions on which we de-
sire information.
Much Depends on Bond Refunding.
"Should all of the $3.50, 600, 900 of
bonds which can be refunded under the
refunding act be paid some $s6, 600, 900
would be absorbed in this operation"
MIR. Payne was asked if he considered
it probable that legislation for this re-
duction would be presented at this ses.
sion of congress.
Il annot say as to hat until we get
the information. If any action is taken
sufficient reduction can be made under
the war revenue act, which was an
emergency act passed in 1898. l am
opposed to interfering in any way with
the Dingley tariff law of 1897"
Representative Dalzell of Pennsyl.
vania, also on the ways and means com.
mittee, said hat in no event would
there be any step toward changing the
tariff law.
He expressed the opinion that the
stamp taxes, which came most gener.
ally under the eye of the public, were
those likely to receive early attention,
