Secretary Herbert has decided to send a naval attache to the United States lega- tion at Tokio, and has selected fcr the post Commander Francis M. Barber, who was originally ordered to London as naval at- tache. Commander Barber will sail from San Francisco on the 15th Instant, and his field of operations will cover all naval matters in the east, China as well as Ja- pan. He is weil fitted for this duty, as he returned oniy a year ago from °China, where he had been in commard of the United States steamer Monocacy, and had in the course of his cruising become well acquainted with the authorities at nearly all of the eastern seaports. TELLER ON ANNEXATION The Colorado Senator Believes it Necessary to Annex the Hawaiian Islands. He Scores the Administration Very Severely for Its Action in the Mat- ter—Question to Be Kept Alive. Ore of the mest remarkable features of the brisk debate in the Senate yesterday morning on the Hawaiian question was the very patriotic speech of Mr. Teller,who entered into the discussion with all of his characteristic energy. He took the radical ground that annexation is not only neces- sary and expedient in Hawaii, but in other neighboring territories, and his speech from beginning to end rang with a broad American policy, which, he said, was the early policy of the democratic party, which he was reared. He vigorously at- tacked the former speech of Senator Wray, which he called a labored effort to excuse the administration, but, he said, it did not convince any considerable number of the American people that the present adminis- tration had not committeed a grievous blunder and inflicted a serious wrong upon the dignity of the United States. Mr. Tel- ler almost made public an executive se- eret when he alluded to the great joy and sense of congratulation that pervaded the Senate, when, behind closed doors, Mr. Morgan in the early part of the Hawaiian discussion read a telegram from the State Department as to the transactions in the islands. Mr. Teller raised a laugh by the follewing summing up of the relations be- tween the administration and the islands. ‘The Administration in Disrepute. Nothing which this administration could do would have so brought it into sympathy ard touch with our people as to have taken steps to bring those people into closer re- lations with us. Nothing has brought this administration into greater disrepute than its connection with this single transac- tion—not one.” At this point Mr. Stewart, who had been listening very intently, leaned forward and made a whispered remark to Mr. Teller. ‘The latter .nodded and went of And that is saying a good deal, as is suggested to me by the Senator near by, because there are a good many matters in which the administration has not been in touch with the peuple.”” In conclusion, after justifying completely the course of Minister Stevens and the offi- ce of the Boston at Honolulu, and plead- ing for fuller protection by the United States to the young republic, Mr. Teller said: “I did not rise to say anything disre- spectful of the committee on fcreign rela- tions. I did nct agree with a portion of its findings, and I do not agree with them now. I am not in sympathy with this idea that we are bound by local lines. I want the government of the United States to be what it ought to be, what it is entitled to be by virtue of its great population and great wealth, the dominant and ruling power on the face of the earth. I cannot be proud of my flag and my government unless that is t- be the case. Will Keep the Question Alive. The debate on the question yesterday showed that the republicans are deter- mined to seize every opportunity to harass the administration by holding the Hawaii- an question before the people. Notices of speeches were given by Senators Palmer and Allison, and it is known that there are half a dozen others ready 4 to come to the front with “rema ever the subject shall be broached in av form. There is a vague undersiandin: that this is to be done with the express | idea of keeping the question alive, se that the subj: of annexation can be brought fort ai the proper time with greater ease. The resolution of Mr. Lodge, which ed the discussion, has gone on the c dar, from which it can be taken o; jority vote. This, however, is re advantage to those who wish to subject alive, as the motion te resolution fz¢m the calendar may be m at any time during the inorning hour, and is fully debatable. Eee eee AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN. Big Petition to Extend the Limits of Jastices. On next Merday, District day in Con- gress, Mr. Hurd will present a monster petition from Georgetown and urge imme- diate action on it. The petition, which is signed by business then here who do trad- ing in the aggregate to the estimated year- ly sum of $10,000,000, and whose personal aggregate wealth fs estimated at $2,000,000, prays that Congress will at once take up Senate -bill No. and push it through. This bill provides for the increase of the civil jurisdiction of justices of the peace and asks that the original bill be so amend- ed as to make the jurisdictional amount $200 instead of $300.” At present it is but luv. The petitioners state that because of the present limited jurisdiction in the Dis- trict they are yearly subjected to great pecuniary logs... ‘Ybe. original bill was pre- sented in the Senate by Mr. Mitchell last February. It was passed, but ever since has slumbered undisturbed in the House. For even a bill of $101 merchants are now compelied to go to the regularly established courts, where they must submit to ex- penses averaging $31, and great inconveni- ence also. United Prayer. The Methodist, Baptist and Presbyterian churches are arranging the last details of next week’s evenings of united prayer. On Tuesday the combined congregations will meet at the West Street Church, where the Rev. Mr. Alexander will preside. The sec- cnd evening’s united prayers will be sent up from the Gay Street Church,where the Rev. W. $. O. Thomas will have charge, and on ‘Thursday the Presbyterians, Baptists and Methodists will all congregate at the Dum- barton Street Church and pray under the leadership of the Rev. Dr. J. B. Stitt. The affiliation of the various congregations, it is believed, will soon be productive of much that will go toward helping along the pro- motion of Christianity. It will serve to pull down the barriers that have separated the representatives of different creeds, and all working together will accomplish un- told good. Notes. In the new police manual gotten up by Ccmmissioner Truesdell and now being distributed among the officers, all attaches of the force are forbidden to enter while in uniform any store of any kind where liquor is sold, be the place even an ordi- } nary grocery. As the police are only al- lowed to doff their uniforms through spe- cial permission the new regulation, it is said, appears extremely inconsistent. 1 ‘At the meeting of Independent Lodge, No. 4, LO.

EL ¢ hen j ander Island, WITHIN THE DISTRICT. A Curious Contention Made in Regard tothe Alexander Island Jurisdiction. There is said to be a prisoner in the Alex- andria jail who proposes to test, by an ap- plication for a writ of habeas corpus, the question whether Alexander Island, on which the track of the Old Dominion Jockey Club is located, is within the District of Columbia or the state of Virginia. The prisoner, it is explained, was arrested by the Virginia authorities for an offense al- leged to have been committed on Alex- In his applieation for by writ of habeas corpus, which made, it is said, to Judge Hughes of the United States circuit court for the eastern district of Virginia, the prisoner will con- tend, it is understood, that Alexander Is- land is not, as heretofore been supposed, a part of the mainland of: Virginia, but tha: it is; in fact and law, an island, and as such clearly belongs to and is a part of the District of Columbia. 2 From the formation of the District up te the year 1846, when that part ceded by Vir- sinia was retroceded to that state, the D, trict consisted of two counties—the counties of Washington and Alexandria. Washing- ton county embraced the land east anu north of the Potomac river, together wits the islands in the river..
