LIBERIA.

An American commission which has
visited Liberia reports that the Brit
ish colony. Sierra Leone, has appropri-
fated about 800 square miles Of its ter
fritory. by arbitrarily assuming political
control over it. The particulars of the
report are not generally known and j t
lis difficult to Judge of the merits OF
the case. Years ago L was generally
understood that the little republic did
not pay neither principal nor interest
of its Indebtedness, and the question
naturally arises whether its creditors
have taken steps to collect money due.
Liberia WAS founded in 1S22 by Amer
leans. for the benefit OF freed slaves
wishing to return to Africa. For %
years 1t remained a ward of this eoun-
try, but in 1s47 It was recognized as a
sovereign state, by England, France,
States, The babitable region Of the
country is only a strip from ten to
forty miles wide along $50 miles OF
shore line. Tho interior (hinterland)
Is the widest and least visited portion
of Africa, with thicker jungle and for-
est than is known to exist anywhere
else upon the continent. Liberia has
no harbors, and at the mouth of each
OF its rivers Is a sandbar which pres
vents the access of vessels of any cons
siderable draught.

of President Monroe, which is reached
in ten days from Liverpool by. monthly
and bi-weelsly steamers travelling thir-
teen knots an hour, might by means OF
breakwaters be made a fairly satisfac-
tory port of entry.
It Is not probable that the report will
cause any unpleasantness between this
country and England: The matter win
be adjusted amicably

One hundred and thirty three years

ten millions more in the outlying pos

WAS hardly 500 miles from the At
lantic; now it stretches forth over
the Pacific aud embraces Hawaii, Guam
and the Philippines.
At that time our annual exports had
value not in excess of S2O,0o0,O00 and
our annual imports value of SIS, 900,

OF the former totals s2,ooo0oDoo0 ana

ed a lot OF napkins and table covers
and evidently Maxwell Thought the
articles would come in handy when he
and his sweetheart set up housekeep-
ing for themselves, for he checked the
package OF soiled linen back 10 the
girl in Kansas. But the girl didn't
care for such presents. for wnen she
saw that the package contained only
an assortment Of table linen without
laundry slip she refused to receive
1t This led to an investigation and
the package was traced back and
found to have been sent from Winnie

a record of checking out the package
and further investigation led to his
arrest, after which he confessed the
theft

night Mrs. PreStin showed evidences
OF great grief at the separation from
