The possibilities of international arbitra- tion are simply beyond computation. They are infinite. If they should be carried out only in part they would mock the pessi- mists, bring sunshine upon those who take dark views of humanity and make the opti- mists too common for notice. All the evils of the world are crowded into war. It is the parent of every violation of law, hu- man or divine, the apologist for ex-ess, the friend of brutality, the advocate of sin, and the father of bankruptcy. It is the black cloud that darkens the whole wortd at this very moment. What is the object of war? If it ts to settle questions between nations, when has it ever settled them? If it is to do justice, when has it ever done justice? If it is to settle rights, who will pretend that war can settle rights or adjust honest differ- ences as thoroughly, as well and as safely as a court composed of wise and experi- enced men who are anxious to do right?

The President and Vice President Greeted Many New Yorkers. Nearly 1,000 invited guests and members | attended the reception given last night in New York city by the Union League Club to the President and Vice President of the United States, the members of the cabinet and the diplomatic corps at its club house, ‘on the corner of 5th avenue and 39th street. It was just 9:30 o'clock when “Hail to the Chief” resounded through the halls, and President McKinley, resting on the arm of Gen. Horace Porter, president of the club, was seen rapidly ascending the, stair- case leading to the reception hall: The guard of honor presented arms, and ring- ing cheers were given. The President, notwithstanding the strain of the day's duties, looked quite fresh, and walked with as buoyant a step as he did early in the morning. As the guests of the club entered they were greeted by President McKinley, as- sisted by Vice President Hobart. No speeches were made, the reception being virtually informal. Shortly after 11 o'clock a collation was served, the alcove dining room, on the third floor, being reserved for the presidential party, while the other guests were seated at small tables pre- pared for them im the different rooms on the same floor. To each guest was as- signed a member of the club, and nothing was left undone to make them: feel thor- oughly at home. Faust'’s Birthplace Sold. From the Chicago Chronicle. The. house in Roda, Saxe-Altenburg, where Dr. Johann Faust, the famous ma- gicilan and soothsayer of legendary fame, was born toward the last quarter of the fifteenth century, was knocked down to @ native for $25 the other day, and is now being dismantled. Five years ago, when the- world’s fair commission dispatched a small army of curiosity hunters to_ ull parts of the globe to seek attractions, the good people of Roda asked a cool $1,000 for the little pile of brick, wood, iron, mor- ‘tar and dust that was to be taken down and re-erected in this city. But the price was considered too stiff, and the negotia- tions fell through. In order that the house might not fall down, the municipal fa- thers of the little town ordered its im- mediate denolition. This historic structure stood until quite recently on a rocky eminence near the Jeraisches Thor (city gate). It was a frame building, very rickety, and had been ex- tensively repaired. There is a legend that it dated pack to the year 1450 or 1400, as do. many other buildings of Roda. Th: Faust saw the light in one of its dingy ‘rooms, with floors of earth and tiny windows in leaden frames, is attested ‘by several authentic statements in the town chronicle, also in the “Faust: uch,” printed in 1587, from which all later which is thelr" chiet authority. ohne ———+ e+ ___ ‘The Pastor’s Wisdom. From the Cincinnati Enquirer, “I never thought it of you, George,” said the paster’s old schoolmate, in the seclu- THE HAWAIIAN TREATY Ex-Minister Thurston's. drgument Against ts Abrogation, it Would Be a Vielation of Good Faith and Wotk a Post- tive Harm, ee aud Mr. Thurston, ex-minister from Hawaii, has presented a written argument to the firance subcommitiee, ugging reasons why the Hawattan reciprocity treaty should not be abrogated. He calls attention to the fact that the treaty .provides for twelve months’ notice before abrogation, and thon says that the proposition to place duties on certain Hawaiian products imported to the United States would, if adopted, be a violation of the treaty. “de presents the follcwing arguments against abrogating the treaty: 1. lt would be a deliberate violation of a solemn treaty. There ts no overwhelming necessity shown for immediate action of so grave a character 2s to require repudiation of an internationa: treaty. 2. The imposition of a duty on Hawaiian products, especially withcut the notice re- quired by the treaty, would disarrange and throw into confusion all of the mercantile and financial interests existing between the islands and the United States, and sus- pend, curtail and rvin not only many Ha- waiian citizens, but greet numbers of Americans, both in Hawaii and the United States, who have made investments to the amount cf approximately $40,000,000 upon the faith of the treaty. 3. The tariff bill is o revenue measure and should not be complicat2d by import- ing inte it far-reachmg questions of fer- eign policy—questicns upon which there is a great diversity of opinion, and involving far more than the mere dollars and cents to be derived from a duty on Hawaiian products. 4. What the future policy of the United States concerning Hawali is to be is a question of the first importance and of broad national policy. It shuuld be con- sidered by itself in such a manner and under such conditicns as to present all Phases of the question, and not the single narrow financia} phase which is primarily raised by the tariff bill. He further says on the general subject of the relations between the United States and Hawaii: “It is submitted that as the years have passed and the policies of intervention and Non-intervention with affairs beyond the limits of the republic have alternately waxed and waned, one consistent and per- sistent policy has been pursued by the United States concerning Hawall, viz: ‘That the preservation of the Hawaiian Islands from the control of any other na- tien is essential te the welfare of the United States. i “The enunciation of this’ principle has not been confined to any party or branch of the government. The policy of the United States has been that of exclusion of other nations from Hawaii, development of Amer- ican interests and ultimate American con- trol. “After making all due allowance for United States philanthropy and generosity, the fact remains that the moving cavse of United States policy coneerning Hawai! has been the conviction that the pussession or friendly neutrality of Hawaii is a po- litical and military necessity to the United States interests in the Paaific. “With Hawaii in the hands of any hostile power, the only coaling station from Nica- ragua to Hong Kong, from San Francisco to Sanroa, would be clesed to American cruisers, and made a cedter from whiche hestile descents could be‘'made upon the Pacific coast end its commerce destroyed. “With Hawaii in the control of the Unit- ed States, the base of supplies of a hostile naval force is thrown back to the entire width of the Pacific—a practically prohibi- tive distance, as coal enaegh would have to be carried'to steam across the Pacific and return, a distance from 7,900 to 5,000 miles, to gay nothing of coal consumption in oper- ating onthe Pacific coastjia quantity far beyond the*capacity of any warship in ex- istence.. Aanarican conttdt of “Hawall? ty; therefore, a practical insurance against na- val attack on the, Pacjfje coast, and on pping in that vicinity.” ‘The objectiye point of United policy has ‘béén politicaf, antlynot financial, advantage. The reciprocity treaty was not primarily intended as an experiment in reci- Procity for the purpose of extending Amer- ican trade. The object in view was not dol- lers; but that which dollars could not buy— the creation and maintenance of a friendly State. “Th public history of Hawaii and the United States during the past few years has demonstrated that this policy has been successful. “Is it good policy for the United States to now about face and abandon the aceruea benefits of sixty years of statesmanship?” Mr. Thurston summarizes the henefits and losses which have accrued to the United States by virtue of the treaty, as follows: 1. Remission by Hgwati of duties on American products, $21,000,000. 2 Profits made by American citizens from freights, commissions, shipbuilding, insur- ace, sugar and sale of merchandise, $52, 251,396. & Existing property acquired by Ameri- can citizens, $43,731,544. 9ggross accrued financial benefits, $116,082,- States Against this there must be offset the du- tes remitted by the United States, amount- ing to $55,899,211. Net financial benefits which have accrued to the United States and its citizens by vir- tue of the treaty, $61,083,690. Disadvantages of Abrogation. Mr. Thurston sums up under the head ot “Results if the treaty is abrogated” as fol- lows: “If the treaty is abrogated the following disadvantages will accrue to the United States. and its citizens: 1. Hawali will levy a duty on all United States products which are free under the treaty. 2. Hawaii will probably enter into. reci- procal commercial relations with other countries which are commercial rivals of the United States, which will largely divert Hawaitan trade and the profits arising therefrom to those countries. 3. The same causes which have practically drivea American shipping out of the trade of every other country will operate to elim- irate it from the Hawaiian trade. 4. The political control, for which Ameri- can statesmen have been,striving for sixty years, and have so successfully accom- plished, will be abandoned at a stroke, and America will be relégated from the domi- nant position which it now holds to the Position which {t occupied in 1842, when England and France alternately bullied and took possession of the Islands, and claimed equal and even superior rjghts to the Unit- ed States. : “Instead of the United‘ States ‘remaining the practical suzerain over Hawaii, as it now is, by the vy y act of the United States Hawaii cE to become the prey of t! which chooses to gather ed States will have ph equality with England, to thereafter engage in control of Hawail under’ of a self-inflicted handt Heavy Reading "itself upon an ce and Japan ot Ao iy, Anthers.

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN Boys Arrested for Stealing the Plumbing From Vacant Houses. Other Happenings of Interest om the Other Side of Rock Creek. Of late considerable complaint has been made at the police staticn house of the action of what appeared to be a reguiarly organized band of thieves, which visited newly constructed and vacant houses and broke out all of the lead pipes in the bulld- ings and stole whatever other plumbing things they could get their hands on. The chief complaint was made by Mr. John Leetch, whose house at 3104 U street was cleaned of all the lead pipe connections in the bath room. It was at first thought that it was the work of a band of grown People, but lately the police were led to believe that small boys were the culprits. This morning several arrests were made, the youths being Harvey Goodman, Mar- shall Craig, Copperthite, Daley and two other youngsters, none of their ages being cver fourteen or fifteen. Some of the lead pipe taken from the residence of Mr. Leetch was recovered. The boys were held, pending a further investigation, the arrest being made by Policeman Sam Burrows. Grace Church Sunday School. An entertainment for the benefit of Grace Church Sunday school was given last even- ing at Masonic Hall on 32d street, and was well attended. The affair realized quite a 00d sum fo the schcol, and the enteriain- ment reflected much credit upcn those who Managed it. The children of the Sunday School participated in very interesting an. pretty dris.

Recita- tions were also rendered by Miss Chcek and Master Clinton Ballinger. The stage was under the direction of Mr. William McShea. Barred From the Trestle. Since the instituting of the suit against the Great Falls Electric Railroad Compary by the mother of young Peterson, who jumped off a trestle last October, and was so badly crippled, the corporation has been taking strict precaution in keeping people off the property of the road. The warning signs at either end of the trestles forbid- ding the public to use the same are being enforced in a vigorous manner, and the children who have heretofore found the trestlework an interesting, though danger- ous, playground are now barred from it. The first prosecution of the sort occurred yesterday, when Isaac Branzel, a fourteen- year-old white boy, was arrested, charged with trespass. He plead guilty in the Po- lice Court, and as this was the first case his personal bonds were taken. Funeral of Salewski. The funeral of Otto E. Salewski, the sol- dier of Fort Myer, who was a member of Troop G, 6th United States Cavalry, and who was killed Sunday night on the Falls Church electric road, was held yesterday morning at 10 o'clock, from the hospitat at Fort Myer. The correct age of the de- ceased is given as five months over twenty- six years. The entire garrison attendea the funeral, which was strictly military. The interment was at Arlington National cemetery. Notes. Mir. Thomas Bremmerman, the chief clerk of Hanlon’s grocery store, desires to an- | hounce to his friends that he was not the Mr. Bremmerman who was on the "bus that rolled off the embankment on the Conduit road Sunday night.

Several ef the Cases TI fore Judge Mills. “Them cops think they has a dead cinch on me,” said Mary Hunt, with a whine, to Jedge Mills today in the Police Court, after arraignment as a vagrant. “I rents a house and pays for it, and “they tries to run me away. I don't propose to let them drive me out of the alley, and so they drags me down here.” Policemen Potter and Carlsson explained that Mary is a Gecidedly disreputable char- acter, and that she has been warned re- Leatedly to cease her immoral practices. fhe failed to de so, and finally was placed under arrest. The “dead cinch” plea had no effect on Judge Mills, who sent the woman to the workhouse for thirty days. Charies Foster, John Ryan, William Mc- Millan and Franklin Powell, all white, con- stituted a quartet about as disreputable ap- pearing as could well be imagined in a civilized community. “I arrested them in the woods near Eck- ington,” said Policeman Owens. ‘They had been there for several days, drinking whis- ky and begging food from the residents in that neighborhood.” McMillan, an oid man, who walked with a limp, assured the court that “the Knights of Labor are after me and have been pur- suing me for two years. In order to get away from them I came here and was ar- rested.” Foster pleaded iliness. He had been in a hospital in Norfolk for five weeks and was now trying to reach his home. He was so sick yesterday that he could not stand up, and that was why he was found at Ecking- ton. “One of those other men has been sent down a hundred time, I guess,” volunteeret Policeman Owens. “There 1s no use wasting any more time with this matier,” decided the court. “Six- ty days each.” Stephen Jeffries was the next “vag.” “He has been begging about Takoma Park for several weeks past,” said Policeman Coffin, “and refused to stop the practice or leave.” Stephen had very little to say, and went down for thirty days. ——— Labor for Road-Building.
