WHY THERE IS AN INCREASE.
Thirty-five millions of dollars was drawn
out of the trea-ury for pensions during July
and August. This is $10,(XX),000 morn thau
the amount drawn out for pensions daring
July and August last year. It has resulted
in au increasj of several millions in the
public debt. Commissi, mer Tanner explains
that $0,000,000 or $7,000,000 of this atuouut
was for a deficiency in last years’ accounts,
but ho does not ex* lain that his pension
allowances before Ja y 1 helped to make
the deficiency. Supposing, however, the
increase to be only $3,000,000 it would
be at the rate of $18,000,000 a year.
5 llepresenta;ive-elect Flood has gone to
Deer Park to lay before the President why
.Corporal Tanner should be removed at once.
He said before he left that he did not seo
how the President could refuse to remove
him and appoint some decent man.
GOULDSBOtiO’a RIOT.
A New Orleans Paner Denounces the
Burning of the Church.
New Orleans, La., Sept. 2.—The
Times-Democrat, commenting editorially
on the Goulds boro riot, closes as follows:
The subsequent act of vandalism in burning
the negro church close to the scene of the dis
turbance was a wanton act in keeping with the
crime of incendiarism which occurred in the
Gretna riot a few months ago. Whatever may
be said of the indiscriminate firing near the
Texas Pacific railroad, not a word can be ut
tered in palliation or justification of this last
grave offense. It was a wanton, deliberate, de
testable crime, and the men who committed it
are a disgrace to the state and the r race.
The wtiole affair should be submitted to a
most rigid investigation by the local and state
authorities, and tnoge who can be piinted out
and found responsible for it should be pnnlshed
to the very extremity of the law. We had hoped
that difficulties in the suburbs of this city, on
the other side of the river, had been perma
nently settled. They have lieen begun afresh
apparently by the same hoodlum element that
undertook to clean out Gretna by indiscrimi
nate use of the shotgun and torch. It is time
now for the state authorities to look into these
troubles, and to see that the public peace is
preserved, and that the rioters of both races
are properly punished.

Scale of the Men.
Pittsburg, Pa., Sept. 2.—Saturday was
the last day which the window glass manu
facturers had for signing the scale, and to
day was the time set for a general resump
tion of work in case it was signed. There
was no resumption, however, as only one
firm signed the scale, Chambers & McKee
of Jeannette, and they did not start up be
cause they have decided to act in harmony
wi.h the other manufacturers. Since
tho time has passed for the
signing of tho scale, the next thing in order
will be tha issuing of au edict from the
national headquarters declaring a general
strike. This uas been looked for ever since
the last conference between the wage com
mittees of the two associations, two weeks
ago, when they failed to reach au agree
ment.
OTHER DISTRICTS IN THE SAME BOX.
The wage committees north and eist
have done nothing, and tho sa.no state of
affairs exists in those districts. How long
tho 1 ckoutor strike will last will depend
much on the s’ate of the trade. Window
glass of all sizes and grades is in demand
now, and tha probabilities nre that the
trouble will soon end. Two factories, one in
Vineland, N. J., and the other in Washing
ton, l)e!., are reported as having started up,
but no report has been received at tho win
dow glass workers’ headquarters as yet.
The bottle bio wore are nearjy all going to
work. Tho flints have been at work some
time. Several bottle factories on the South
Side will start to-morrow.

Apia, Samoa, gives tho following account
of the return of Malietoa, King of Samoa,
who was deposed by the German uaval
forces nearly two years ago. from his exile
at Jaluit, Marshall Islands, on Sunday,
Aug. 11; The German gunboat Wulf
arrived in the harbor at 2 o’clock
in the afternoon. When the Vussol came to
anenor King Maliotoa was seen standing on
the deck. The flag of the returning monarch
was at oncce hoisted on shore and hearty
cheers were given by the American and
English residents.
ACCOMPANIED by three chiefs.
Besides the king, three ohiefs who were
deported with him, Manga, Asl and the
king’s brother Mold, were also aboard the
Wuif. No canoes were allowed to approach
the vessel, and it seemed hardly probable
that the party would bo landed that day.
A little before dark, however, a number
of natives were seen hurrying in the direc
tion of Matatu, where the German consu
late was situated, and it was ascertained
that King Maliotoa and the chiefs were
coming ashore on one of the Wulf’s boats
with Dr. Steubel, the German oonsul gen
eral and Folau, chief magistrate of Samoa,
who had gone aboard the VVuif an hour be
fore.
THE LANDING.
W Quite a crowd of natives and a few white
residents had assembled at the spot where
tho landing was made. When the boat
touched the bench Dr. Steubel sprang out
and assisted Mnlietoa to land once more
upon his native shore. Tha latter was taken
at o ice to Folau’s house, where he was fol
lowed by a number of nenple.
Tho meeting between King MaHetoa and
his relatives was most affecting. The
women fell on their knees aud kissed his
hands, and the whoio party, including the
king, were weeping all the time. The
greatest expressions of joy were heard,
and all present extended sympathy to
the monarch who had been carried
off by tho Germans ana landed fir t at
Camaroonp, one of the most un ealthy
shores in the world, and taken from there
to Hamburg as a steerage passenger, aud
then exiled on an island in tho Marshall
group, in company with throe of the highest
chiefs of Samoa.
AN AMERICAN CONSUL PRAISED.
All of the returned party give the highest
praise to Dr. C. Morgan, the United Sta es
consul at the Marshall Islands, and declare
that had it not been for his ns istanee, thov
would have suffered heavily. About half
an hour after King Maliotoa had arrived
at the house, King Mataafa, who had been
reigning during his absence, arrived and
greeted his relative most cordially. King
Malietoa seemed to bn careworn and broken
down iu health. The white residents pres
ent drank the health of tha two monarch*,
and an invitation was then given to attend
ail impromptu banquet.
friendliness of the two monarchs.
The greatest good will existed between
the two kings. Among those who called
during tho evening was United States Vice
Consul Blacklock, who was warmly re
ceiver! by b th kings. On the following
day King Malietoa went to King Mataafu s
house, where he was received with the
royal sat ate. The two kings will
remain in the same house for
the present. A perfect feeling of
amity exists between them. King Mataafa
will retain control of affairs until a satis
factory settlement is made. The Ameri
can schooner, Lena Swazey, lying in the
harbor, hoisted King Malietoa’s flag on the
day of his return. No formal acknowleg
ment of this kind was made by the
Sophie or VV uif. There was no American
or British man-of-war in the harbor.
