Legislation Necesanry to Give the Gen- eral Government Power to Protect Foreigners in the States. With two such incidents as those of New Orleans and Walsenburg, Col., facing them, and such affairs as the Rock Springs mas- sacre of Chinese, and the killing of the Italians in New Orleans in the background, the State Department officials make no se- cret of their apprehension that the United | States is destined, as shown in The Star yesterday, to have serious difficulty in maintaining its treaty relations with for- eign nations unless Congress comes to the rescue. As it’stands now, owing to the limitations placed tpon- the exercise of the federal power by statute, the government finds itse?f powerless to protect foreign citizens, whom the United States is under solemn treaty obligation to protect. Under our peculiar condition the national govern- ment can only look to the state to extend protection, and if this is denied or the measure of protection is inadequate it can- not interfere. The State Free From Responsibility. Meanwhile, the state itself is wholly free from any responsibility to the foreign powers with which the United States has entered into treaty relations, and these powers are prohibited from even remon- strating with the offending state govern- ment; they can look for redress only to the helpless national government. So it is with- in the power of any erratic governor, or weak mayor, or even an incompetent chief of police in any city, to force an issue that can be decided only by war, and the fate of the whole nation may depend on the con- duct of such officials. ‘This matter was brought to the attention of Congress by President Harrison at the instance: of the late Secretary Blaine after the adjustment of the trouble that threat- ened war with Italy as the result of the killing of the Italians in New Orleans, but no action was taken to carry out the sug- gestion, probably owing to the fact that the necessary legislation might be regard- ed as an infringement upon the old states rights theory. LegisIntion Needed. It is very probable, however, that Presi- dent Cleveland will feel obliged to again call attention to the subject at the meeting of the next Congress and point out how, in the absence of such legislation, he is oblig- ed to appeal to Congress to pay out of the rroney raised by the whole people large sums for indemnity for outrages committed by a disorderly element in one small place. Just what shape the proposed legisiation will take cannot be ndw defined, but the prevailing idea will-be to make it the busi- ness of the United States courts in all parts of the country to protect foreigners in the United States, first, through the court deputies, and if that is not sufficient, then through the troops of the national government, and to do this without delay in all cases. This would require an amend- ment of the posse comitatus law, passed with the express purpose to prevent the use of troops at elections, but proven to be of much wider scope than was intended,and would otherwise hurt the sensibilities of the strict constructionists of the states rights theory; but as between this and the ever-present danger of becoming involved in a foreign war without a reasonable or just cause it is asserted that Congress will not hesitate to declare for the law. eee ESE SS FEARS FOR REINA REGENTE. The Cruiser Believed to Have Gone Down With 420, The Spanish cruiser Reina Regente ts be- Meved to have foundered off Tangier, Mo- rocco, during the recent gale. She had a crew of 420 officers and men. Pieces of one of her boats and semaphore flags are reported to have heen picked up along the shore near Ceuta and Tarifa. ‘The Reina Regente had just conveyed the returning Moorish mission to Tangier. She left that port on March 10 for Cadiz and has not since been heard of. The absence of news from her is causing the greatest anxiety, and it is believed that she has been lost with all hands. The cruiser Isla de Luzon.of the Spanish fleet has sailed from Algeciras in search of the missing cruiser. The Reina Regente is a_steel-protected cruiser and was completed in 1887. Her dimensions are: Length, 320 feet; beam, 50 feet 7 inches; draught, 19.23 feet. She is of 4,750 tons displacement, 11,500 horse- power and her speed is 20.6 knots. Her main ermament consists of four 9.45-inch guns, one on each side forward of the superstructure and one on each side aft; six 4.72-inch guns mounted in broadside. She hus an auxiliary battery of fourteen rapid-fire and machine guns, and has five torpedo tubes. Her protected deck is 4.3 inches thick on the slope, her conning tower is five inches thick, and her heavy gun shield three inches thick. She has a coal capacity of 1,150 tons. She was one of the three Spanish warships that took part in the gfeat Columbian naval parade in New York harbor in the spring of 1893, the other two having been the Nueva Espana and Infanta Ysabela.

Robert Carter, Frederick Winfield and John Carter, three of the young colored men who were arrested by Detectives Weedon and Lacy several days ago for committing a series of thefts, as printed in The Star at the time, were taken to the Police Court today and arraigned for theft. They plead guilty to the charges and will now stay in jail until warm weather. Rob- ert Carter stole a stove from Patrick Smith, while Fred. Winfield stole some meat from one of Emrich’s meat stores, and for these offenses they were given sixty days. In another case John Carter and Fred. Winfield stole some smoked meat from Warfield’s store. For this they were given ninety days. —_.—_—_ Gen. Shakespeare’s Pension.

Nine were white and eleven colored, and in the line were several men who do not belong here. Some were strangers’ in the city, and one was on his way to the Alexander Island race track, but had remained here too long before crossing the river. His name was given as Hugh O'Neill, and with him was @ man named William Curtis, The latter said he was here on his way north from Newport -News. “They were together when I saw them,” said Policeman Mulvey. “O'Neill was beg- ging from house to house, and Curtis had a Mission soup ticket in his pocket.” “I worked for the ticket,” said Curtis. “And I’m not a tramp,” said O'Neill. “I was willing to work for what was given me, but the lady in the house had nothing for me to do.” “What are you doing here asked. % “I came over from the Pimlico track.” he answered, “and thought I might get a job across the river.” “But you had no right to beg on the street,” said the judge. “There is an army of tramps here, overrunnings the city,.and every time they are brought in for begging I intend to send them down,” “But won’t your honor let me go this "* pleaded the man. “If you do I'll ” the judge said. “You have been here before, and are well aware of how strict our law is.” They were sent down for fifteen days. Known to the Police. Alice Green, a white woman, who has been in trouble a number of times, ap- peared at the prison rail and said not guilty to a charge of vagrancy. The com- plaint was that she has been walking the streets at night and visiting saloons to meet men. All the first precinct officers know her. said Alice, the court “I'm not a vagrant,” “I have a good home on 7th street.” “You will have to give security in the sum of $100 or go down for ninety days.” “May I have the privilege of telephoning to my friend in the War Department?’ she asked. Her request was granted. ‘A colored boy named Thomas Clark an- swered a charge of disorderly conduct, en- tering a plea of guilty. “This was a crap game,” said a police- man. “Ten dollars or thirty days.” Next in line was a boy, whose name was given as George McMulien. He was com- fortably dressed and carried an overcoat on his arm, “Not guilty,” he answered when the clerk had read a charge of va- grancy and asked the usual questions. “He's a Chicago tramp,” sald the offi- en ‘Was he begging on;the street?” “He was begging sooth on the street and ouses.”” H 'm just after being discharged from the Baltimore city hospitef”” said the prisoner. “Pm still sick with tHe rheumatism and now there isa breaking out all over my body.’ “Thiety days,” said the court, “and if you are sick you will get, hospital treatment.” The Old Soldier Got Of.

John R. Watkins, Charles Pascal and Andrew Downey, who were found under a shed, where they were protected from the rain, admitted that they do not belong here. Two of them said that they came from Danville, and the judge released them to leave the city not later than noon. Pipe ae! Julia Carter and Rebecca Blair in. Temperance alley indulged in the use of some language calculated to make an old sailor blush. Rebecca went off first and got the first warrant, but when the case reached the court this morning Policeman Lynch filed a charge of disorderly conduct against both women. Rebecca seemed delighted at the oppor tunity to get on the witness stand and re- peat the alleged filthy language used by her neighbor. Then Julia was called, and she gave her version of the Sunday afternoon affair. “This is only another fllustration of what is seen in court so often,” said Judge Kim- ball, ‘‘and the court is going to put a stop to them, if possible, by fining both parties.” They were fined $5 each. a Spanish Warships Withdrawn. The Spanish warship Infanta Ysabel is to be withdrawn from Key West, where it has been located of late to watch suspected operations of sympathizers with Cuban in- surgents.

The Boston Players. Nash has signed as captain of the Bos- ton Base Ball Club for ihe same figure he received last season—$3,000. He made Catcher Tenney an offer, which has been accepted by wire. There is still a hitch about Bannon’s_sal- ary. When he signed last season it was agreed that he should receive more money if he gave satisfaction. He filled the bill, but the club refuses more than $1,200. Duffy thinks he is worth as much as any. player in the club, and sticks out for $3,000. He says he is disgusted with the policy of the club in haggling about as modest an advance as he asks for, and the public is inclined to agree with him.
