THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON. * THE DEADLY TYPHOON. It Struck the Fleets at Samoa Early in the Morning. ‘THE WARSHIPS ABSOLUTELY HELPLESS IN THE FURY OF THE GALE—THE GERMAN VESSELS FIRST TO SUFFER—HOW CAPT. SCHOONMAKER DIED. The typhoon of March 16, which cansed the dreadful disaster in the harbor of Apia, struck the fleet of war vessels before 6 o'clock in the morning. The German ship Eber dragged her anchor first, and was driven helplessly on the reef which runs around the harbor. She struck, broadside on, at 6 o'clock. The shock caused her to lurch and stagger back, and she sank in & moment in deep water. Most of her men were under hatches, and scarcely a soul es- caped. Tha Adler was lifted bodily by a igantic wave, and cast on her beam ends on the reef. A terrible struggle for life ensued among the officers and sailors. Many plunged into the ragiag surf and struck out, some reaching shore in safety. Others clung to the rigging until the masts fell. Of those in the rigging only two gained the shore. The captain of the Adier and several other officers were saved. HOW THE NIPSIC WAS SAVED. Meantime the United States steamer Nipsic had been dragging her anchors and drifting toward the shore. The captain, however, man- aged to keep control, and ran her on a sand bank. Boats were immediately lowered, and the whole company were saved with the excep- tion of six men. These were drowned by the capsizing of a boat. fhe Vandalia was carried before the gale right upon the reef. She struck with a terrible shock, hurling Capt. Schoonmaker against a gatling gun and he felled stunned. Before he could recover a great wave swept the deck and he was washed away with others into the sea, ‘The vessel sank 50 yards from the Nipsic. Sev- eral of the officers and men were washed over- board and drowned. Others perished while making desperate efforts to swim to the shore. Some remained for hours in the rigging, but heavy and swift succeeding waves dashing over them carried them off one by one. THE NATIVES OFFER ASSISTANCE. By this time night had set in. Many natives and Europeans had gathered on the shore, all anxious to render nce to the unfortunate crews. but, owing to the darkness, they were wholly unable to be of service. Soon after the Vandalia had sunk the American war ship Tren- ton broke from her anchorage and was driven upon the wreck of the Vandalia, whence she drifted to the shore. The bottom of the Tren- ton was completely stove and her hold was half fall of water. As morning broke the German man-of-war Olga, which had hitherto withstood the gale, although much battered by the heavy seas that constantly broke upon her, became unmanage- able, and she was driven upen the beach, where she lay in a tolerably fair position. Mataafa sent a number of men to the assist- ance of the ships. They rendered spiendid aid iu trying to float the Olga, BRITAIN CLAIMS SUPERIOR SEAMANSHIP. A London special to the Philadelphia Press says: The terrible news from Samoa caused a profound sensation here, and much sympathy is felt and expressed for the gallant men who lost their lives. At the admiralty the officials were very jubilant at the escape of the Calli- ope, which they unhesitatingly attributed to the superior quality of British seamanship. imiral Howell, formerly of the United States navy, who has been for some time stay- ing at Bournemouth for the benetit of his health, is just now in London. He is sore at heart at the loss of the ships he knew so well and of the officers who were once his comrades. He was sure no fault attached to any of the American officers, least of all to Admiral Kim- | berly, whom he knew well as a splendid officer. Farquhar, too, was one of the best men in the United States navy, and Schoonmaker was a Capital sailor and good fellow, SURVIVORS CoMING HOME. The Auckland agent of the Oceanic steam- ship line, whose steamships ply between San Francisco and Australia, cabled John D. Spreck- les, president of the company, that Lieutenant Wilson desires to secure accommodations on the steamship Mariposa, which touches at Auckland on her return trip from Sydney the latter part of April, for three hundred of the wrecked sailors at Samoa, to be taken to San Francisco. The Mariposa is only entitled to carry two hundred and fifty passengers, but an appeal having been made to the government authorities here the Treasury department re- plied that the naval office would impose no re- ‘striction on the Mariposa carrying more than the usual number of passengers, providing they were shipwrecked sailors. The steamship Alameda left Auckland some days ago. It issup- osed that she touched at Samoa Saturday, and Rs thought she will bring a large number of the shipwrecked sailors to San Fransisco with- out waiting for the Mariposa to receive orders. ‘The Alameda is due at San Francisco April 13, THE STORM OFTEN COMES WITHOUT WARNING. A storm similar to the one of March 16 oc- curred at Apia in February, and at that time the English warship Calliope and the German ship Eber had a narrow escape from being wrecked. Capt. Holland. of the schooner Bonanzo, at San Francisco, said yesterday that March was + bad month for hurricanes in the South Pacific. No harbor is safe in these storms; the ourse is to put tosea, While there is sometimes warning beforehand, as much as twenty-four hours, of the approach of a gale of this kind, at other times it comes entirely with- Out warning. Capt. Holland did not consider for a moment that the escape of the Calliope was due to superior seamanship on the part of her officers. She probably had steam up at the time. Captain Leary, of the United States steamer Adams, which recently returned to Bai Fp cisco from Samoa, said on Saturday: “Th is hardly any anchorage in Apia harbor, and it is a very difficult matter to keep a vessel off the shore in ordinary weather. The anchors keep dragging, and when I was there with my Vessel I found it necessary to carry my anchors out every morning to keep the vessels trom going ashore.” Other San Francisco advices say that the Monongahela, which left there February 21, for Samoa, has probably reached her destina- tion. The seven naval cadets on board the Tren- ton and the three on the Vandalia were saved. The Berlin dispatch says Emperor William Was deeply moved by the news of the Samoan disaster. He immediately telephoned Prince Henry and afterward conferred with Count Von Moltke, Prince Bismarck and others, SYMPATHY FROM THE QUEEN. Expressions of sympathy were yesterday re- ceived from Queen Victoria, cabled by Lord Salisbury to the British legation, Her majesty directed her prime minister to express tothe President her sorrow and commiseration on the terrible naval misfortune at Samoa, The message was delivered yesterday afternoon b Recretary Edwardes, the British charge d’af- faires, who was accompanied by Secretary Bluine. In reply the President expressed his warm appreciation, and that of ghe whole people of this country, of the gneen’s consider- ‘Ste sympathy with the United States over the calamity which had overwhelmed its naval forces at Samoa. The President said that a more formal reply would be made to her Majesty through the Secretary of State. ‘THE PRESIDENT’S VIEWS. President Harrison was interviewed Saturday in reference to the disaster, and is quoted as saying; “It is @ very sad occurrence. Loss of ships is nothing, but the lives of the men lost is a public calamity. Sometimes I have thought that possession of our imitations of war vessels is a misfortune, as it has prevented our getting better ones, and we are continually sending them into places and on missions which hazard Valuable hives, I think there will be no delay when Congress meets again in our having a complement of new substantial ships. There il due exten doula of the o binet, as re- orted. to take action on this misfortune. Nothing can be done further than to render as- Sistance in recovering the bodies of the dead, ‘The ships are understood to be a total loss, and ho effort will be made in all probability to save m2. ——— in 5 or gig Po recommend is Message next fall that » large appropria- be made for the construstion, rot new and men-of-war. o—____ To New You« via B. & O. service on Express Pullman's ‘Knick hoa i * er rt Express,” leav- a ea ae New York is composed exclusively of Vestibuled ‘lor Cars.

When we come to criticise photographs as pictures, we find that one great defect is to be found in their small size. It is true that the perfection of detail and fine finish compound for this in a measure, but it has often been said that one good print of 11x14 inches, or larger, is worth dozens of the little scraps made on 5x4 and 4x3 inch plates, It has lately become too much the fashion to advise the use of small sizes, and to depend upon some enlarging pro- cess when a print of good size is wanted. The idea of making small negatives and enlarging them afterward seems fair enough, and it is indeed, successfully done in many cases; but if such a size as 10x12 were settled upon, we should advise that the negatives be made direct, and the Veen not coat from, say, 5x7 or 5x4 inch negatives, All experienced operators agree that the making of negatives for enlargement requires great skill and care. Remembering how greatly the cost of making photographs has been reduced, and what ex- cellent outfits can now be had for a moderate sum, we feel justified in advising those who aim at good artistic results to begin boldly with plates of a fair size—certainly not less than 314x634, or, better, 16x8 inches, SELECTION OF OUTFIT. Now, since the first thing to be considered in the selection of a photographic outfit is the size ot picture desired, and the next the character of work to be done. let us here say that the difficulties of obtaining clean, good results in- crease with the increase of size to a certain ex- tent, and the expense of making the picture in- creases very materially. Nevertheless, in spite of the various processes for making large prints from small negatives—enlarging pro- cesses, as they are technically termed—we re- peat that we should not advise the purchase of very small cameras, unless mere amusement is the only thing to be considered. Plenty of fun can undoubtedly be had out of the little ‘“de- tective cameras now 80 commonly used, but more satisfaction will be felt in a nice collec- tion of views or portraits on plates measuring, say five inches by eight, or ten inches by eight, the camera for which would be too large to be conveniently concealed as the smaller sizes are. Since the introduction of the gelatine dry plate, and the consequent simplifying of the chem. ical part of the work, large-sized photographs may be made with far greater ease than for- merly, and to those of our readers who have de- voted any attention to art matters we will sug- gest one of the larger-sized cameras for plates, say fourteen inches by eleven, as offering more scope for the artistic treatment of fine subjects, particularly landscapes. THE LENS, The size of plate and camera being settled upon, the next thing is to get a suitable lens, and this is often no easy matter. In most of the detective cameras the lens is supplied asa [rake of the outfit, but one intending to provide imself with a regular photographic apparatus ought to have some knowledge of lenses before purchasing. Without going into too great de- tail in the matter. we may say that some general distinctions between the different varieties of lenses should be borne in mind, as follows: (1) Lenses including an ordinary angle or amount of subject, say forty to forty-five degrees on ine of the picture, and of tolerably and (2) wide-angle lenses including eighty degrees, or even more, and of very short focus. It would be natural for the purchaser to imagine that that lens which included most subject would be best, but as a general rule the contrary is true, namely, that the longer-focus lenses are the more practically useful and give the more pleasing pictures. There is another distinguishing characteristic between lenses that wre “single” or “doublet.” The former are cheaper, but quite good enough for average landscape work, while the latter are indispen- sably necessary for architectual subjects and the accurate copying of anything like maps, plans, engravings, &c. To those who are dis. posed to be very economical, we may say that the front lens of an opera-glass will make ex- cellent photographs. It should be unscrewed from the barrel and set in a short tube with its flat side facing the view; or, in other words, it should have its position just reversed from what it was in the opera-glass. A stop of suit- able size is then set in front of it at a distance equaling one-fifth of its burning focus, It should be remembered that the perspective of the | see em is made by the lens and cannot be altered by the operator, except in so far as he provides himself with a number of lenses of different focus and angle, 80 a3 to be able to treat different subjects with lenses suitable to their peculiarities, using each lens pro re rata, as the doctors would say. MORE THAN ONE, It may not be generally known that experi- enced outdoor operators are pretty well agreed upon certain proportions between the focus of the lens and the size of plate, as affording the most pleasing pictures, and being the most useful in the long run. We should thus choose an ll-inch focus lens for the 8x64 plate, a 9- inch for the 8x5, &c., or, in other words, one whose equivalent focus was about equal to the diagonal of the plate. But let us take this oc- casion to say that we cannot too strongly insist upon the desirability of the photographer's having more than one lens irrespective of the size or style of his pictures. We ourselves have worked with lenses of ll-inch, 7-inch and Sig inch focus on the 8!4x6!¢ plate, and succeeded in a great variety of subjects. The 11-inch was probably used five or six times where the 7- inch was once, while the 53-inch was only re- sorted to on rare occasions where the peculiar- ities of the subject required a very wide angle, We enter into this matter at some length be- cause the artistic qualities in landscape photographs will be found to depend in great measure upon the ability of the operator to include just the desired amount of subject on his plate from any given point of view; for the latter cannot always be changed so as to favor the lens, Then, also, it must not be for- gotten that every change in the position of the camera will change something in the view: the whole character of the picture may be alterea by shifting the apparatus a little in one direc- tion or the other. A speaking proof of this is seen when examining the results obtained by the members of photographie clubs and socie- ties after having been out for a field-day; here we often see two photographs of the same #ub- ject, where the men have stood side by side, one being complete as a picture, while the other fails in its effect simply because the lens has been a few inches or a few feet farther to the right or left, and has omitted or included some object which has been the making or marring of the picture. ANOTHER PROMINENT DEFECT in photographs, taken as a whole, is that they are usually made in fixed sizes in spite of varieties or peculiarities of subject. How unpleasant it is in the case of a fine panoramic view, where the interest lies in the extended horizontal sweep rather than in the sky or fore- ground, to see things forced into a near! square plate, say 10x83 inches, which gives entirely too much space above and below, with insufficient length! On the other hand, how empty the ends of a long, narrow 8x5-inch plate — if some isolated and rather square object, such as a villa or group of trees, pies the center! Many a picturesque sub- dealing in high and narrow lines, will be ly ruined if crowded on a square-shaped Plate—street views in cities, for example— made near to chui with high steeples. Here we must either have a long, narrow plate, or use a lens of short enough focus to reduce the whole scale of the picture so that it can be afterwurd trimmed to suit the subject. Here we see an additional reason why the plate should be of a good generous size to start with, and the outtit of lenses complete. If we had only a small plate on which to make the view, the trimming might make the finished print too smail to be worth anything. Let us now consider the shape of the picture, or plate, together with the proportions existin between its boundaries or sides, premising that while here and there a print may be trimmed square. circular or oval, fo suit some particwiot subject, the oblong shape will be by far the most generally useful. PERSPECTIVE. A little study of perspective is most highly to be recommended to those who desire their pic- tures tobe truthful and pleasing. Now, by this we do not at all mean that our readers should wade through ponderous volumes, filled with mathematical problems and long equa- tions, but that they should, for instance, set themselves to consider such facts as the follow- ing: —: and that the lines or em appear to recede at a certaii . the box how be moved upto within I i of the face, these lines of junction will be seen to stand at much*more obtuse desi which the sides will appear broader in tion to their height than when the box was a distance. t P hot hing of street Fubjecte Where both meat and focus,” on the other, being indiscriminately used by the photographer. THIS GREAT OBTUSENESS OF ANGLE in the perspective of pictures made with wide- angle lenses is sometimes the cause of most unsightly and ridiculous pictorial failures. It will be seen at once that the objection to using very wide-angle lenses is that, owing to this vat obtuseness of angle of the ines, distant objects will appear pepe dwarfed in size, while those near at hand wi come out immensely larger than they ought to. A few trials = bee =_— — a cons includ- ing, say, ei of angle, i- ae ob} cae pill - the foreground, soon prove the truth of what we have been saying, and sometimes well-known localities will be so changed in the photograph that no one would recognize them. We are thus met by the par- adox that the per ive of the photograph, while mathematic ly correct, is Riise to the eye. These ideas of ive will be found very useful in botogiapiting architectural subjects, wide-angle lenses often being indispensable here. Caution must be observed in using them on these subjects, however, for if the building stands in confined positions, where there is no room to move the camera backward, the pic- ture will have an unnatural effect, and might be compared to the eye of an observer trying to see something that was too close for con- venience. 8 PORTRAITURE, the perspective will suffer very much’ if the distance between the sitter and the lens be too small, and the lens of too wide an angle. In this case, the cheeks will look too narrow in | oh Saab to the length of the face, while the ands and feet will be absurdly larger than they ought to be if at all obtruded. The head, an indeed the whole figure, will look more rotund and more life-like if a fair distance— say twice the sitter’s height—is kept between the lens and the sitter.

Interior views of buildings, halls, &c., where there ia plenty of room to keep the camera well back, will not be found difticult, but the interiors of small private houses and rooms will often be very unsatisfactory subjects be- cause there is not room for the camera to be set well back and give a life-like, natural effect. Photographs of long, narrow objects will be great failures in the pictorial point of view if the camera be brought too close, and so that the nearer portions are unduly magnified while the more distant become dwarfed in size. Here we see one of the principal reasons why the photographer should have lenses of differ- ent focus, so that if he is compelled to take an unfavorable point of view he may not be con- fined to one focus and angle.—Elerslie Wallace, in Outing, ————+e0_______ THE DESERTED VILLAGE. How Ambition has Depopulated a Little Paradise in Southern Ohio. From the Chicago Tribune, “Gone!” The word came with a deep groan from the lips offthe desdlate man who stood on the lonely street and looked about him. The beams of the setting sun shone with a yellow glow on a peaceful village nestling in a lovely plain, The modest spires of the churches glittered in an atmosphere free from ‘smoke, and nota sound came to the solitary man whose brain was throbbing and whose heart was bursting with a sense of his strange and unearthly isolation. “Under a sky of unsurpassed beauty,” he ex- claimed, ‘in a land where even winter in its most savage mood breathes mildly, in the favored garden spot of a great state, amid fer- tile valleys and vine-clad hillsides, whose vege- tation is already leaping into life in response to the creative energy of the vernal sunshine, can it be possible that I have lived to see such a scene as this?” He paused a moment to kick a wandering and lonesome-looking dog that was snifling abont him in an abjectly inquisitive and apolo- getic manner, and again his voice rang plaint- ively out amid the weary solitude: «Where are they all? Where are my friends, my neighbors, the companions of my youth? What mysterious calamity has ewept over this once happy place as with the besom of—you here again, vou miserable hound? Get out!” He drew his hand tremblingly across his pallid brow and once more his voice smote the air: “They are not here! They are gone! Great snakes! Of course they're gone! Where are ye, friends of my childhood? © familiar faces that filled the horizon of hope in my maturer years, and framed the radiant vision that my ambition bodied forth, where the Dickens and Tom Walker do you hang out now? With these words he took a fresh chew of acco, pulled his hat down over his eyes, e one farewell glance up and down the de- serted and voiceless street, turned his back on the home of his childhood and departed for- ever.

Harold Frederick's London Letter. Germany is agitated just now by the most serious domestic dispute which has stirred its politics in years, The new emperor hates newspapers—it must be admitted, not al- together without reason—and the obedient bundesrath has formulated a new penal code for journalists which staggers even the Cologne Gazette, When this organ speaks of the pro- posed legislation as “putting a frightful weapon into the hands of the Stee, for suppres- sing freedom of speech and silencing opposi- tion,” you may understand that the bill must be pretty bad. It is, indeed, the worst measure that has been aimed against the liberty of the ress in our generation, and there is a deep feeling as to its fate when the bundesrath next month sends it down to the reichstag. There will be a fierce debate, and it is expected that a considerable number of national liberals will part company with Bismarck on this issue, see Colored Episcopalians in South Carolina. THEY WILL REJECT A PROPOSED COMPROMISE OF THE COLOR LINE DISPUTE. The report of the committee appointed by the South Carolina diocesan convention of the Pro- testant Episcopal church, to try and settle the color question, recommends a compromise which proposes to admit colored clergymen to the convention who have been connected with the church for a year prior to May 18, 1889, when the convention meets at Anderson. It also proposes a separate congregation under the ministration of the bishop. No provision is made for the admission of colored lay dele- gates. A prominent vestryman of St, Marks, the aristocratic colored church in Charleston, said last night that the terms would not be accepted. “We won't secede from the church,” he said. “We shall simply wait, and if barred out of the diocesan convention we will carry the case to the general convention.” As to whether St. Mark's would continue to pay its tribute to dio- cesan conventions he was no’ U Se crap to say. ‘The question promises to be a burning one at the coming convention. A New White House. From the Atlanta Constitution. It is said that Mrs, President Harrison’s re- cent sickness was due to the condition of the White House, the sanitary arrangements of which are reported to be in bad order, This has revived the talk about the building of a new house for the President, and almost without exception the proposition has received the hearty indorsement of all of the newi pers of importance which have spoken of matter. The White House was built in 1792, and was rebuilt in 1818, practically as it stands to-day, after having been burned by the British in 1814. It was built for the chief executive of a nation numbering less than 4,000,000 Bowls, which, in less than a century, has increased to over 60,000,000. It is not in keeping with the other great and substantial buildings of the government, and, aside from architectural considerations, it does not appear to be, to say the least of it, a healthy resort for those who have to live in ‘it, The house is pinched and its accommoda- tions are inadequate.

BUSINESS. ‘The attention of the business public is invited with confidence to the superior advantages pre sented by Tae WaskivoTon EVENING Stak as an advertising medium. The sworn statements of its Gaily circulation, published from week to week, taken in connection with the data given below, ik lustrate in the most striking manner the steady and rapid growth of the paper in circulation and infuence. They also establish, beyond contre ‘versy, the fact that THE STAR is the Dest lotal a@- vertising medium, not only in the United States, Dut in the whole world! This claim is based an@ conceded on the fact that no city in any country is 80 thoroughly covered by the regularcirculation of a single paper as is the city of Washington by that of THe EVENING STAR; and it does not rest on the extent alone, but also on the character of circula tion. Not only ts its local circulation the largest &nd fullest of any dally paper printed, in propor tion to population, but it is also the ®RST, since the paper does not merely go into the hands of me People of the District of Columbia asa body, but {nto their homes,—inwo the families of all condi- tions, and into those of the moncy-spending as well as the moneyrarning portion of the com- munity,—in @ much larger ratio than ang daily journal that can be named. By reason of the fullness, freshness and reliability of its news, local, domestic and foreign, its independent and fair treatment of all public questions, and espe- cially because of its intelligent and effective de- Votion to local interests. and its close attention to Matters with which the housebold, and particu- larly its nay members, are concerned, THR STAR is everywhere recognized and admitted to be. ia every quality, the leading and favorite newspaper of the National Capital, alike in the counting- room, the work-sbop, and We family circle. More conclusive evidence on these points no Person can ask than that afforded by the table below. ‘The growth of circulation therein indi- cated, with the analysis following, clearly shows the esteem in which the paper is held by the com- munity to whose interests it is so steadfastly de- voted. It will be seen that, in the number of copies issued, every month in the year 1888 shows & handsome increase over the cotresponding month in each year given; and, as further (lus tration on that point, it may be stated here that there has been a corresponding advance in the umber of new advertise:nents printed during the year. The comparative figures for the four years last past are as follows: DAILY CIRCULATION IN 1885~—86-'87-'88. 1883. ISS6. LSS?. 23,388 235,470 W32L 26,200 2 26,009 25,575 25,742 25,116 “24! 24.559 24,905, 24,507 25.007 26,466 26,753 25,484 27,088 Daily av'ge..22,123 ducrease. 1,503 1,598 Of this aggregate daily circulation of 27,082 Copies, the bouks of the uflice show that an average Of 20,029 copies were regularly delivered each day, by carriers, at the homes uf permanent sub= scribers in thecity and suburbs, Of the remainder, @ daily average of 5,481 were sold at the office, in the hotels and railway stations, etc.,and on the streets, by newsboys, making a grand total average Within the District of 25,450 copies dally, leaving | & daily average of 1,02 to be seut to regular eu | scribers residing beyond its limits, by mail, express, and railway trains. In addition to the 20,029 copies daily delivered. At the homes of subscribers, a large proportion of the 5,421 otherwise disposed of in the city is reg- ularly purchased by permanent residents, living in lodgings, &c. (uot househuiders), while we resi- due goes into the bands of transient visitors, from al parts of the country, who each year come to the National Capital ia greater numbers and for longer periods, aud who, furthermore, largely rep- resent the well-to-do and purchasing portions of the communities to which they respectively belong. ‘The last-named is a class of readers alone well Worth reaching; but it is to the phenomenally jarge permanent local circulation of the paper, and especially to its unparalleled hold upon the household aud family circle, that te attention of Advertisers is particularly directed. A comparison of the home circulation of 25,450 with the figures representing the entire popula- Uol of the city will couciusively establish the fact that LHE STAK reaches avout every family in the Districtof Columbia, and is read every guy vy more Uan Unree-Jourtis uf us population why are able toread! 1t follows, therefore, that au advertise. ment inserted in its columus will meet the eyeof every person in the Wiswrict worth reaching, of Whatever race, creed, sea, age, or condition in life, It only remains to be said, for the information of those interested in the suvject, tat, in proportion Jo its circulation, the rates of advertising in TER SVENING Stak, whether transient or for long periods, rank with Um very jowest in the United Dates, Indeed, king both the extent and char acter of its circulaion into consideration, it may safely be claimed tat so wide and such an excel Jeut quality of publicity cau uoWwbere else be boughs tor te sume money. “Trial by Peers.” For the information of those uot familier with ‘THE Stak, @ few extracts from notices vy its oon- temporaries, called out by its recent change im Jorm, are appeuded: From the Washington Post, We cougratulste 1Wr Sram on its great rosperity, There ws mw beticr eveniny newspaper inthe Unices Suses trom the Phuadelpiia Ledger.
