Ratify the Treaty. The -nate committee on foreign rela- tions evidenced its appreciation of the need for promptness in the matter of the an- nexation of Hawaii when it voted today to report the treaty back to the Senate, with the recommendation that it be ratitied. The Japs affair is no mere bugaboo. It stands as a real factor in the case, and it would be folly for the Senate to disregard it. The committee on foreign relations is composed of some of the ablest men in the uppe hous men of an unusually wide knowledge of international affairs and a keen appreciation of domestic conditions. ‘The emphatic recommendation of this body, dissent, is entitled to great especially when it is supported by the practically unanimous opinion of the American press, voicing the unquestioned desires of the people of the republic. Un- der these circumstances, the Senate cannot delay censideration of and action upon this treaty without taking grave chances, at least of incurring a feeling of impatience on the part of the nation. it is well knowa that certain influences are strongly arrayed ggainst the annexation of Hawaii and working for its delay if not for its def2at. ‘These influences are understood and secog- nized beyond any further concealment. ‘Their interests in the case are direst and selfish, and bear now only for the personal advantage of a very few individuals. They ignore the broader patriotic elements of the case, and their labors are directed entirely to furthering their own ends. The Senate does not need to study this case to such ar. extent as to jeopardize the accomplish- ment of the great purpose for which the treaty was negotiated. Most of its mem- bers are familiar with the whole history of Hawaii in its relations to this country, having participated in several debates upon various phases of the case in the imme- diate past. The principles involved are few and distinct. On most of these the per- sonal judgment of senators has probably already been formed. Indced, all the cir- cumstances of the case point inevitably to prompt action, and the unanimous report from the committee should ensure that re- sult. without welgPt, see Arbitration a Rensonable Remedy.

It is a chapter of the Wey- lerian history, which is replete with blood and nearly every description of rror. To therefore, as this Havana newspaper that an official, inspired and com- neral Weyler, was incapable of killing a prisoner in his power is to speak in a sort of madn Pathetic as they are, and deserving of all redress, the circumstances attending the assassination of Dr. Ruiz do not retiect more severely on Spain than the killing by starvation of any woman or little child in 5 camps. That blood cries as loud from the ground as the blood of Dr. Ruiz, but che United States fs not pledged in the one case as it is In the other to call the shedder of it to account. ‘The Havana paper in question calls at- tention to lynchings in the United States. -cemmitted. | the generation to which they belong, There are lynchings in the United States, but prisoners who perish in such cases are K.lied by mobs, not by the jailers appointed to protect them. Dr. Ruiz was not killed by a Spanish mob which had overpowered the jailer and made its way to his cell, but by the jailer himself—the man into whose safe keeping he as a prisoner had been Between that case and the lynching of a prisoner taken by force from his keeper there is the widest possible -iif- ference. But even in the case of death by mob violence, the United States, where the vic- tim was a citizen of another country, has always, in effect, recognized its responst- bility to his surviving famity or other heirs. The general deficiency bill, which passed the Senate only yesterday, carries an item of six thousaad dollars to the credit of the Italian government as indemnity for three Italian subjects who were lynched by a mob in Louisiana several years ago. The official in whose keeping the prisoners were Was not at fault. He was simply unable to protect his prisoners. A mob killed the ren, but the people of the United States, through their Congress, make an appro- priation for the surviving heirs of the vic- tims. The Spanish people may be very “noble, and generous, and chivalrous,” as eulogized by this Havana newspaper, but General Weyler’s performance in Cuba may not with safety be offered in support of the claim. ——————_»ree—___ Late News From Hawail. The editorial correspondence of The Star from Honolulu, printed today, comes to hand at a most interesting juncture, coinci- dent with the favorable action taken today by the Senate committee on foreign rela- tions on the annexation treaty. It is there- fore the more appropriate as it bears di- rectly upon one of the most important top- ics of the year, now probably close to a climax. Showing the general effect of the news of the negotiation of the treaty it in- dicates that the Hawaiians were disap- pointed in learning that there would be some delay in the accomplishment of the object upon which they had set their hearts. The letter brings further proof to bear upon the statement often made of late, with the best of reason, that Hawaii now stands between American annexation and Japanese absorption and that if this country fails to accept the opportunity now cffered the islands will surely and perhaps speedily pass into hands from which it can never be secured save by a struggle. The relations between Japan and Hawaii are, it is evident from this communication, none too easy or friendly. The writer points out that each side to the contro- versy is touchy and expects much con- sideration, that Japan is particularly ap- prehensive of slights in diplomatic affairs and that it behooves the United States in cealing with her to observe all the niccties and courtesies of international etiquette. It would appear that the Japanese minis ter resident in Hawaii had abated some- what from his uncompromising attitude with regard to arbitration and thus the hint let fall by Count Okuma in his talk with The Star’s correspondent in Tokyo is given further force. Above all it is clear from the disclosures of this letter that the Japanese people themselves, and espe- cially those now res cast their eyes longingly upon the is The correspondent shows how the Japan y in an excellent position from point of view and make: comments upon the h of the Japanese and American naval forces now stationed at Honolulu in the event of a rupture of the peaceful relations. —+ ++ —____ No Pardon for the Youngers. The governor, chief justice and a have military interesting some relative ances present torney general of Mirnesota have unanimously re- for fused to grant the notorious the pardon requested Younger brothers, now confined in the state’s prison at Still- water for murder. In doirg this they ha set an excellent example for all other par- doning powers throughout the country. The Star pointed out the otter Younger brethers were guilty of atrocious crime and d rved more sé punishment the law then permitted. The sertiment in favor of pardoning them, after twenty-one years of imprisonment, wes based ypon false premises, and if fo: tered could not but give to a disr gard for the law and a dou cacy. Tae cfficials constituting the stz board of pardons were besieged with e ordinary influences, and were under h than pressure to grant the paracn, but they have maintained themselves creditably in the 7 nd have saved their state from reproach to which it would surely been entitled had these criminals been free at the instance of the bandit-wors of Misseuri. y exist im many other cases, whe isoned men are victims of unfor- umstances and for whose ot- some pailiation may be found. But the Youngers there was never least excuse. Their crime was delibe undertaken with full knowledge of tne grave probabilities of murder being done, and, inceed, it was practically unavoidable that it shculd have resulted otherwise than it did. The burglar who enters a house at night armed w.th a deadly weapon is a murderer in intent if not in fact. He goc to plunder and is prepared to kill if d tected. The Youngers undertook to rob a k, were armed to the teeth and when sseiled shot and killed.

The good wishes of all Washington go with the Morton Cadets in their journey to San Antonio, where there they hope to re- tain the laurels they now wear as the mil- champions of the United States.

They are well behaved young men, well officered and they represent a fine element among Their performances at all the drills they have at- tended have been marked by upright con- duct as well as strict attention to their duties and by the care with which they have met the severe conditions of the com- petitions. Their preparatory work this year has been attended by many draw- icks, but it is the general expectation ' that they will give a good account of them- selves and Washington will surely be proud of them, even if they should not bring bacic all the prizes in sight. ——___ + e+ ____ Oklahoma is still a youthful quantity in the affairs of the nation, but the reports of its wheat crop indicate a determination to do all in its power to hasten the re- turn of prosperity. —__ + = —_____ The President and Office Hunter: Although the pressure on the President for office has at times been heavy, and still keeps up, he carries himself under it with muck good natare and success. Pre- dictiors were all to the contrary. H's urbanity and sympathy were quoted as tnsuring him no end of annoyance, and us likely after a short time to make him an easy prey for the bosses. It was confi- dently asserted, indeed, that he could not possibly hold out long, but in trying to redeem the campaign promises of republi- ‘ar greater grounds for the | can managers he would beeome involved in | world of trouble. These predictions have not been fulfilled. The President is as u-tane and sy pathetic as ever. He has been as approachable as any man who has ever occupied the White House. Thousands have catled and had audiences. Some have secured recognition, but many more have not. Disappointment has been expressed by those failing to secure favorable action on their requests, but no railing at the President has been indulged in by anybody. He has not been accused of “follying’ callers. Good faith and candor have accompanied kindly atten- ton, and, when requests could not be com- plied with, these preferring them have not been left in darkness on the subject. The President has had notable success with the recognized bosses. He has neither yielded to them nor alienated them. He has recognized them in some instances, and oppesed them in others. In no in- stance has he been bullied or rattled by them. His manner, indeed, seems to be :s effective with them as with the individual pushing only his own claims. The bosses are not complaining. They confess that they are noi getting all they want or are trying for, but they are bringing no charges of any kind against the President. They visit him repeatedly, but swailow the dis- comfiture of a refusal when it comes with the best grace possible. Both the President and the country are to be congratulated. The people had almost come to believe that the onerous duties of the presidency could only be borne by man who would either shut himself up as a hermit, or cajole visitors with studied irsincerity, or harden his heart to such an extent as to leave him devoid of all human attraction. Mr. McKinley, in four months’ time, has put the very opposite face upon the matter, by combining in the office ap- Proachableness, sincerity, kindliness and candor, and, while denying many, he has misled nobody. In connection with the Graeco-Turkish question nobody seems to be horrified at the disposition of the powers to actively interest themselves in territory over which they have no definite proprictary title. ——_+ +2 —______ Some of the protests against the tax on Bibles reveal the fact that the tariff nas already done gocd work by stimulating piety in unexpected quarters. — oo —___—_ The Havana newspapers are very bitter, but fortunately for Mr. Les, his success does not depend on the kind of press no- tices he gets in that city. ——__ 2 «= —____ Mr. Hill and Mr. Cleveland both illus- trate the tendency of a man who has been retired from politics to grow gloomy and oracular. soe In his relationships with the Powers, the sultan is very much handicapped by the arbitrary demands of his constituents. —s The frequency of General Weyler’s recalls would indicate that he has developed the farewell appearance habit. nl It looks as if Senator Platt had a great deal of political arbitration ahead of him. - see Only one hundred and ninety-two men worked on the post office building today. +e Rs.
