Representative Dockery, who is | responsible for the compulsory and immediate | payment, stated in the House yesterday that this indebtedness amounted to $974,349.74, to which Representative D.

A. ‘T. Mahan, the naval historian, appeared, advanced the idea that possession of Hawaii by the United States would be in the interests of peace. After care- fully studying the situation Capt Muban comes to the conclusion that too much stress cannot | be laid apon the immense disadvantage under which this country would labor should it per- mit any other power—which might «uddenly develop inimicai tendencies -to control a coal- img station within twenty-five hundred | miles of every point of our Pacific coast | line from Point Roberts to Point Loma Were there many other coaling stations availa- ble it would be difficult to own them all, but, as the captain points out, there is only one, and | this may belong to the United States without even the trouble of asking for it. The possi- Dility of an assault on any of the California, Oregon or Washington cities will be minimized if the offer isaccepted. ‘Shut out from the Sandwich Islands, as a coal base,” says Capt. ‘Maban, “‘an enemy is thrown back for supplies of fuel to distances of thirty-five hin4red or four thousand miles—or between seven thon: sand and eight thousand. going and coming —aa impediment to sustained maritime operations well-nigh prohibitive.” oo Few cities are blessed with a more efficient police force than that which watches over the national capital, but governed by an impression that there is always room for improvement ‘Tux Stax proffersafew words of advice to those who are charged with preserving order uring the three or four days which may be | said to constitute the inaugural period.

There vill be a great multitude here, most of its component parts naturally and artificially exhilarated: streets will be crowded by day and by night; tough characters will, in places, strive to annoy, and in many ways visitors will be inelined to resent interference even with their noisy actions. You will ueed much pa- tience and the soundness of your judgment will be tested a bundred times. Do your whole duty as quietly as you possibly can.

Douglass deserves all the pleasing compliments paid him yesterday by those who have for the past three years been associated with him in the conduct of District affairs. Few men have left the honorable yet trying po- sition of District Commissioner and carried away with them so much of real affection and genuine respect as is undoubtedly centered in Mr. Douglass. When employes who cannot possibly have ulterior motives join so unant- mously in testifying to the regret they feel at the severance of official relations it is satisfac- tory evidence of that popularity which lasts longest and which leaves behind it the most fragrant memories. er Spectacularly the District National Guard does not expect to be “tin it” with the Seventh New York and the Fifth Maryland, but if you want to see a brigade that knows the soldier's duty and does it just keep your eyes on the the local boys in blue.
