Their reported talk both in Hawaii and in Japan, in the native news- papers and on the streets, is to the effect that Hawaii belongs and must continue to belong to them. a When Paramount Commissioner Blount was about to order the American flag to be lowered and the American marines to re- turn to the Boston, the apprehension was felt and expressed that following the with- drawal of the Americans Japanese from~ their warship, the Naniwa (now again tn, Honolulu harbor), wou!d march in and take possession. Rather than permit this ap- prehension to interfere with a consumma-, tion so desirable from Japan’s point of view as the hauling down of the American flag. the Naniwa was ordered away from Honolulu. Concerning the tendencies of the Japan-, ese on the islands, Admiral Walker's re- port of “1804 states the truth concerning them according to the censensus of opin-, ion, except that it is thought that the re- sult of the recent Japanese victory over China has been to intensify their restless- hess, self-assertiveness and political ambi- tions. Admiral Walker said: “They are in- clined to be turbulent, they stand together as a solid body, and their leaders are said to nave political ambitions and propose to claim for their free men the right to vote under the conditions with which that right is granted to other foreigners. They are a brave people, with military instincts, and would fight if aroused to violenc: Reciprocal Discourtesies. A peculiarity in the quarrel between Ja- pan and Hawaii is that each of the’wrang- lers finds more cause of complaint in the other's manner of conduct and in alleged discourteous behavior than In the original act upon which the controversy is based. In the beginning the most heated com- plaints at Tokio were not that immigrants were excluded, but at the manner in which it was done; at the alleged discourtesy of a change of policy and of construction of the law by Hawaii without the slightest notice to Japan. whese people were thereby injured; at the alleged brusque refusal of the Hawaiian foreign minister to allow counsel to see the rejected immigrants, and at other similar alleged rudenesses. Some of the Hawaiian officials, on the other hand, found in the tone of Count Okuma’s first communication in the immigration controversy an arrogance of assumpticn which would not in their opinion have been employed in dealing with a strong nation toward which a show of courtesy was nec- essary Another Japanese grievance against Ha- wail which rivaled in intensity that based upon the exclusion of immigrants was the increase by the Hawaiian government of the duty on sake, the Japanese intoxicant, from 15 cents to $1 per gallon, a duty al- most prohibitive. The new tariff goes into effect today, and the Peking, which brought arnexation news to the satisfaction of part of the community, brought also, to the delight of the Japanese, a vast ship lead of sake, which was yesterday unloaded and put through the custom house at a saving of nearly $25,000 on the duty in ferce today. ‘Two Supersensitive Opponents, Both of the contending governments are exceedingly sensitive and apprehensive lest they be treated otherwise than with the deference that is due to independent civil- ized nations. Japan is just entering the family of treaty powers, and is very much afraid that she will not be recognized by everybody as on terms of equality. She is quick to view as insulting any apparent rimination against her. As a new comer in a more elevated stage of inter ticnal society she suspects every one of a disposition to snub her, to laugh at the cut of her garments and to criticise her m: ners. Hawail is a nation, but not a power, lacking organized army and navy, and a homogeneous, loyal population from which to develop military strength. To be sure, one of the Japanese papers said that the excluded immigrants were induced to re- turn to their steamer by the firing of blank cartridges from the guns in the Honolulu forts. Bu. unfortunately the forts and the guns in the forts of Honolulu are as blank as the alleged cartridges. Japan, which has won recognition as a treaty power mainly through — recent achievements in war, is surprised and shocked at the “high-handed” acts and werds of this little republic which has neither army, navy nor fortifications to en- title it to consideration. And the Anglo- Saxon republic fiercely resents what It con- siders the threatening arrogance of a Mon- golian power, which has merely furnished it with coclie laborers for its sugar planta- tions, and upon that fact alone bases an ef- fert to intimidate, dominate and finally ab- sorb it. Transformation of the Japanese. Undoubtedly the Jupanese coolles came to Hawali as semi-slaves, merely to labor for a contract period of servitude and to return to Japan. They were not recog- nized as among the responsible people of the islands any more than was the Asiatic buffalo, imported to work in the rice field: But the Old has been trans- formed into the New Japan, and before the eyes of alarmed Hawaii a_ similar transformation is working in the 25,000 Japanese within its borders, who seem This is the Package-- remember it. 4 contains WaAsHING PowpER that cleans everything quickly, perfectly. roreconomy buy stb package.

We can fight, we are of the race which has just whipped China. We are of the nation which has won through treaties with the other civilized powers recognition for its people as the equal of all others in the world. We like this country, and we are here to stay, and to increase our numbers from Japan at Pleasure, with all the rights that belong to anybody else, and our strong home gov- ernment, one of the greatest of the Great Powers, will protect us in these rights. If the islands aré to have a representative form of government we mean to vote, and through unlimited immigration we shall yery soon dominate such a government. If force is to decide we nave already enough fighting adults on the islands to put to flight any army that the rest of the population can bring against them, and we are largely increasing that number every month.” The Japanese camel has its nose and head tn the warmth and shel- ter of the Hawatlian tent, and now threat- ens to enter fully, to kick out its deluded host and to become exclusive occupant. This coolie laborer, entering for the pur- Pose of harmless and useful servitude, row threatens, the Hawalians fear, to be trans- formed into a ruler. “Suaviter in Modo, Fortiter in Re.” The supersensitiveness of Japan suggests the wisdom of the most scrupulous care on the part of the United States in the observance of all the formalities and nice- Hes of international etiquette in diplomatic dealings with that nation. The United ‘States will, of course, frame its tariff and decide the question of Hawaiian annexa- tion in accordance with the dictates of its judgment, irrespective of Japanese pro- tests, but in its method of reaching re- sults which may be displeasing to Japan it can ufford to go to the extreme limit of international courtesy. Japan has been and is a friend of the United States, and that friendship should not be impaired by any neglect in the observance uf formali- ties. It is to be regretted that opportunities for the charge of discourtesy have been permitted to arise in the dealings between Hawaii and Japan. But Hawaii believes that the action which she has taken, main- tained as she has maintained it, is ne¢es- sary to the very existence of American republican government in the islands, and she holds that the alleged discourtesies on her part are mere pretexts of Japan to ex- cuse any arrogant or forcible action by that government in pursuance of a fixed Policy to hold the islands in statu quo until that date in the future when, having meanwhile made the population over- whelmingly. Japanese through immigration, she can safely absorb them. It is possible, however, that Hawaii could have done what was necéssary in the matter without furnishing to Japan so many plausible pre- texts for anger. No Hint of War in Japan's Protest. Events have fully disclosed Japan's am- bition concerning Hawaii. She naturally deplores annexation by America, for that event, speedily accomplished, is ihe only certain preventive of the success of her shrewd waiting game in respect to the islands. But Japan's great hopes and pro- found fears on the immediate future, as i have already suggested in The Star, re- late to Asia and not to the mainland or islands of America, and all the indications are to the effect that nothing more than a verbal protest would be elicited fronf her by immediate annexation. If, however, the United States and Japan should unexpectedly be thrown into col- lision, the . latter would have the ad- vantage so far as immediate control of the islands is concerned. There are approxi- mately 20,000 male adults among the Japan- ese here. Some of them served in the re- cent war against China, many of them have received the drill of conscripts. Con- trol of the sea for a time is necessary to arm them fully. But the Naniwa, the Japanese protected cruiser in Honolulu, is through her rapid-fire guns superior in battery to the Philadelphia, is better pro- tected and carries more men. lt may rea- sonably be assumed that our officers are more skM@iful in naval warfare, and that individually as fighters our men are strong- er than the Japanese; but our fighting machine is inferior. The maxim that Provi- dence favors the heavier artillery is not contined in its application to the land. In the close quarters of Honolulu harbor the guns which can throw the most metal in a minute are very apt to first strike a vital spot. The climate of Honolulu is delight- ful, and its harbor furnishes today a healthful and inviting station for one of the strongest of our modern warships. THEODORE W. NOYES. eS CARSON INDIGNANT. Visits the District Building With Blood in His Eye. Col. Perry Carson was at the District building this morning with blood in his eye. Some of his political enemies had called upon the Commissioners and made sensational charges against him. They had stated that the big republican leader of the District had control of the appoint- ments of the street sweeping force, and had compelled the laborers, as a condition precedent to their appointment, to enroll themselves as members of the Blaine In- vincible Club, pay an initiation fee of 50 cents and subscribe 10 cents per week for the expenses of the association. The colonel answered the charges to a reporter of The Star before he saw the Commissioners. He said: “Under most circumstances I would treat this foolish charge as I have every other in the past—with silence. But in this case 1 want the Commissioners and the public generally to understand the facts. The Blaine Invincible Club was founded by me twenty-two years ago. Its object, while for the furtherance of republican princi- ples, was mainly to obtain work for the unemployed colored men of Washington. And we have succeeded right along. Dur- ing Harrison's administration we obtained no less than eighty-one appointments for our members. ‘When the laborers won their fight against machine sweeping, through the matchless championship of The Star, we appointed a committee to wait upon Con- tractor Daggett and get him to appoint forty-five cf our members to laborers’ posi- tions. We had been as a club most active in the fight against pick-up machines, which would .have done away with the work of a large number of laborers, and we felt it incumbent upon the contractor who had profited by our work to employ as many members of the club as possible. Out of the forty-five names we sent in as entitled to employment he engaged twenty- Immediately there arose from these cou. said I had controlled the whole business, “Well, I'm black, and have no education, but give me credit for having common sense. Does any one with half a brain think I would tell my people that I con- trolled the contractor? The trouble is with these poor, miserable gutter politicians, who spend their time criticising other folks who are trying to help the laborers. If they would only put their shoulders to the wheel and work, instead of talk, there ‘would be no need to find fault. But I sup- Pose, lke rats, they are a necessity to ‘destroy the refuse.

Since the receipt of Lord Salisbury’s dis- patch explicit inquiry has been made of Dr. Jordan as to the relative condition of the herd in 1805 ard 1 ind in previous years, and he has furnished the chapier on the ‘Decline of t Herd” from the forthcomiug fins! report’of filmself and as- sociates, from which the following extract is taken: ‘While the amount of the decline cannot be given with mathematical exact- ness, it is possible from the data at hand to make an approximate estimate. From a careful study of all the conditicns, in our opinion the fur seal herd of the Pribyloft Islands has decreased to about oné-fifth its size in 1872-'74; to somewhat less than one- half its size in 1890, and that between the seascns cf 1895 and 18% there has been a decrease of about 10 per ‘cent.” Nete of Alarm Sounded. Although Prof. Thompson has been very careful thrcughout the report to say noth- ing likely to embarrass his government in the “conch sions,” the voice of the true scientific irvestigator speaks in firm and | certain tones. While he regards “‘the alarm- ing statements * * * of the herd’s im- mense decrease’ as overdrawn, he says: “There is still abundant need for care and for prudent measures of conservation in the interest of all. * * * It is not difficult to believe that the margin of safety is a narrow one, if it be not already in some mezsure overstepped. We may hope for a perpetuation of the present numbers; we cannot count upon an increase. And it 1s my earnest hope that a recognition of mu- tual interests and a regard for the com- mon advantage may suggest measures otf prudence which shall keep the pursuit and slaughter of the animals within due and definite bounds.” In view of such explicit language it is not easy to understand hew Lord Salisbury can reconcile his refusal to entertain the proposals of the President with the inter- ests of his own countrymen, to say noth- ing of the friendly relaticns which he de- sires to maintain with the United States, Russia and Japan. The experience had with the sctentitic commissions of 1892, as well as the reports of 1896 just under review, shows that It 1s difficult through trem to reach a harmony of views, but we have at hand certain statistics of undisputed authority pointing unmistakably to conclusions waich should be controlling. Decrense in the Catch, The operations of the pelagic fleet in Bering sea since the Paris regulations have been in force are as follows: : 1894—Thirty-seven vessels, 81,585 taken, ov an average of 853 per vessel. 1895—Fifty-nine vessels, 44,169 seals taken, cr an average of 748 per vessel. 1896—Sixty-seven vessels, 500) taken, or an average of 440 per vessel. It thus appears that nearly double the number of vessels in 1896 were not able to take as many seals as were taken in 154, and the catch per vessel fell off nearly one- half. Lord Salisbury attributes this large falling off in Bering sea “to the stormy weather prevailing,” but does not cite his authority. I am not aware of any publish- ed report to that effect. Capt. Hooper, who commanded the Americdn eruising fleet in Bering sea in 1895 and 3803, reports: ‘The weather in Bering sea Wasnot materially different in the last two’years. Conditions admitted of boarding operations by the fleet twenty-five days iy 1804 and twenty- four days in 1596. 1 cob An examination and cémparison of the legs of sealing vessels for 1895 and 1806 confirms Capt. Hooper's‘reptrt. ‘The above figures, with the statistiés cintained in my note of the 9th ult., to the British ambas- sador, make it very clear that the seal herd is becoming rapily ‘depleted, and that “the margin of safety” as Professor ‘Thompson expresses it, ‘hasbeen “already overstepped.” It is to be inferred that “the margin of satety” is intefidet to signify the peint at which pelagic sealing ceases to be profitable. He cannot havé! had in mind biological extermination, fdr that point could not have been reached so long as a single bull and harem existed. Sealing No Longer Profitable. The point when sealing ceased to be prof- itable seems to have been reached during last year. A table appended to his report shows that the total product of the pelagic catch of 18% in the Londoa market was about half the amount of that of 1895, and Lord Salisbury informs us that this res:1t has “brought many owners of the sealing vessels to the verge of bankruptcy.” It thus appears that the condition of things predicted by the government of the United States, as quoted below, has already come to pass—the commercial extermination of the seals. If pelagic sealing continues to be tolerated, a limited number of vessels will carry on the indiscriminate slaughte-, in the hope, by a favorable cruise, of re- couping the losses of the previous years, and the rookeries on the island will be still further depleted. But the biological exist- ence of the fur seal may still be continued, and her majesty’s ambassador may repeat the declaration so often made during the last two years that there is ‘no reason to fear that the seal heard is threatened with early extermination.” (Here follows a long and exhaustive re- view of the efforts: made by Secretaries Gresham and Olney to secure a settlement of the dispute.) Inadequacy of the British Patrol. The manner in which the British govern- ment has discharged its police duties under the award is in marked contrast with its appeal for a strict observance of the five years’ period of the regulations. An equal obligation rests upon each government to patrol the waters embraced in the award area, in order to see that the regulations are not violated by the sealing vessels. In 184 the government of the United States furnished twelve vessels for the Patrolling fleet at great expense, and only one vesse] was furnished by the British government. In 1895 five United States vessels patrolled the award area, and only two British ves- sels, one for a short time only in Bering sea, and the other took no part whatever in the patrol, as its presence was almost constantly required in Unalaska harbor to take over the British sealing vessels seized in Bering sea. Owing to the repeated com plaints of the government of the United States as to the inadequacy of the British patrol, an additional cruiser was ordered into Bering sea during the season of 1896, although it was stated by the British Bov- ernment that, “so far as they had been able to judge, the force employed up to the present time has been sufficient.” As it is shown that practically no patrol service has been rendered in Bering sea by the British cruisers during the previous year, the inference from this language would seem to be that her majesty's gov- ernment understood that the American cruisers only were to perform the patrol duty, and the British cruisers to take over and act upon the validjty.of seizure of British vessels, = The detailed enforcemént ‘Uf the regula- tions has further developed n the part of the British government a strange miscon- ception of the true spirit;and intent of the arbitrators. Under artic! of the regu- lations, the use of fire: is in Bering sea was prohibited, and to enforte that prohi- bition ft was agreed betweeniithe two gov- ernments for the year -18¥@ that sealing seals seals vessels might have their, a! and ammu- nition placed under seal, on May il, 1895, although this govern. it had every reason to believe from the order in council that the British government bad given its concurrence to the arrangement, the Brit- ish ambassador gave pfhat his gov- ernment would not ren “tn arrangement as to the sealing of arms for the coming season, and defended its action on the ground that the possessfon ‘of arms, etc., by @ sealing vessel was “not forbidden. by the award regulations.” 5 Important Provisions Not Enforced. This tardy action of the British govern- ment in refusing to renew the arrangement of 1894 led to much trouble and incon- venience in connection with the patrol of Bering sea. The British gevernment made grievous complaint against the ‘severe ™measures of search resorted to by. the an. cruisers, sWhioh ere, rise to a lengthy correspondence. July 2, 1896, Secretary Olney submitted a proposition to put an end to the controversy by an exam- ination of vessels entering Bering and an y by @ representative of. the United States at British Colum! of all skins taken Sea, to dis- cover whether or not firearms were used, but this proposition was, not accepted. A further attempt was le by Olney to procure some agreement for the | at 11 o'clock last season-of 1895, when it was urged that American vessels frequenting Bering sea were required to have their arms sealed, and on returning to their home ports their skins were carefully inspected, while her majesty’s government refused to enforce the provision as to arms, and declines the inspection of skins, measures which this government regards as “absolutely cssen- tial for preventing the unlawful destruc- tion of te aes Nevertheless, another season has entered upon without any settlement of this vexed question. Responsibility on Englan The obligations of an international award, which are equally imposed on both parties to its terms, cannot properly be assumed.or laid aside by one of the parties only at its pleasure. Such an award which in its practical operation is binding only on one party in its obligations and burdens, and to be enjoyed mainly by the other party in its benefits, is an aw: which, in the interest of public morality and good conscience, should not be main- tained. Having in view the expressed ob- ject of thc arbitration at Paris, and the declared purpose of the arbitrators in pre- scribing the regulatioris when it became apparent, as it did after the first year's operation of them, and with increased em- phasis each succeeding year that the regu- lations were inadequate for the purpose, it was the plain duty of the British gov- ernment to acquiesce in the request of that of the United States for a conference to determine what further measures were necessary to secure the end had in view by the arbitration. International Relations Embarrassed. A course so persistently followed for the past three years has practically ac- con plished the commercial extermination of the fur seals, and brought to naught the patient labors and well-meant conclu- sions of the tribunal of arbitration. Upon Great Britain must therefcre rest, in the public conscience of mankind, the respon- sibility for the embarrassment in the rela- tions of the two nations which must result from such conduct. One of the evil re- sults is already indicated in the growing conviction of our people that the refusal of the British government to carry out the recommendation of that tribunal will needlessly sacrifice an important interest of the United States. This is shown by the proposition seriously made in Congress to akandon negotiations and destroy the seals on the islands as the speedy end to a dangerous controversy, although such a measure has not been entertained by inis department. We have felt assured that, as it has been demonstrited thet the practice of pelagic sealing, if continued, will not only brirg itself to an end, but will work the destruction of a great interest of a friendly nation, her majesty’s government would desist from an act so suicidal and so unneighborly, and which certainly could not command the approval of its own people. . The President therefore cherishes the hope that even at this late day the Brit- ish government may yet yield to his con- tinued desire, so often expressed, for a conference of the interested powers, and in delivering to Lord Salisbury a copy of this instruction you will state to him that the President will hail withegreat satis- faction any indication on the part of her mnajesty’s government of a disposition to agree upon such a conference. Respectfully yours, JOHN SHERMAN. CONDENSED LOCALS Thomas Butterworth, William Richards and Daniel Walls, charged in the Police Court today with cruelty to animals, for- feited their collateral. Michael Foley and Dennis McDonald, for loud talking on the street, paid $1 each in the Police Court today. Six cases of violating the police regula- tions were recorded in the Police Court to- day. Those charged with fast riding were 2. C. Curtis, Frank Jackson and William E. Wood. Samuel Mills and Robert Waters had not the necessary lights after dark, while John Driggs’ wheel was minus a bell. None of them appeared for trial, and the collateral was forfeited. James Richardson, when arrested on a warrant charging him with being an un- licensed peddler, gave vent to his feel- ings by using profane language. Two policemen told the court of his conduct, and the defendant not only made a denial, but called a friend as a witness, who deciared he had not used bad language for many months. Five dollars was the penalty im- posed. “When you were sent down for shooting crap,” said Attorney Moss, in the Police Court today, to a colored witness, “where were you arrested?” I wasn’t arrested for shooting crap,” was the angry response of the witness, “Oh,” said the attorney, “you were not caught?” “I don’t shoot crap,” added the boy, “and my reputation is as good as yours.” He was excused. Cony Murcurio was the name given by the owner of an ice cream cart who was arrested yesterday for obstructing the streets. Business was dull, according to the testimony of the police, and he remained with his cart on 11th street near Pennsyl- vania avenue for seven minutes. “I won't go there any more,” the seller of frozen food told Judge Kimball this morn- ing, and his personal bonds were taken. “When people violate the law they must expect to be punished,” was Judge Kim- ball’s remark today, when Attorney Frisby argued that the imposition of a fine would take bread out of the mouths of Adelia Johnson’s children. “But, your honor,” said the attorney, “here is only an infraction of the law that has been violated.” The judge made the fine only $2. This morning about 7 o'clock an alarm of fire was turned in from box 68 for fire in the house of William Walsh, No. 231 K street northeast. The explosion of a gaso- line stove caused the fire, which resulted in about $5 damage. A fishing party, consisting of Messrs. Vincent Giovannetti, Gilvio Giovannetti, Phillip Giuliani, Jos.

The entire stock of the Continental Cloth- ing Company, managed by Godfrey, Moore & Co., lith and F streets, has been pur- ckased by Parker, Bridget & Co. This con- cern was opened up a few months ago by a couple of Parker, Bridget & Co.’s em- ployes, backed by a Philadelphia clothing manufacturer. Owing to the condition of the times and fierce competition in the. clothing business they quickly succumbed, and it is quite a scoop on the part of Parker, Bridget & Co. in securing this stock, which was necessarily entirely new and very desirable. On another page they announce the sale of the Godfrey, Moore & Co.'s stock at a big sacrifice at their es- tablishment, 315 7th street, which an- rouncement will be read with considerable interest by the economically inclined men who are acquiring an as acute taste for bargains as the weaker sex. Parker, Bridget & Co. are progressive and aggres- sive, and are firm believers in the efficacy of newspaper advertising. ———_ FITTING OUT THE BENNINGTON. ‘Will Take the Place of the Marion at Honolulu. ‘The gunboat Bennington, now on the California coast, is being fitted out to take the place of the old cruiser Marion at Ho- nolulu. The Marion was ordered home some time ago, but an accident to her ma- chinery delayed her for several months, and the order has now been repeated. Though there is talk of sending the battle- ship Oregon to Honolulu to reinforce the Philadelphia, it is said at the Navy De- partment that no such orders have issued, and it is more probable that she will be kept in the neighborhood of San Francisco in perfect condition and for sea or- ders at short notice. Admiral will soon be relieved at Honolulu by Ad- miral Miller, now on his way home from England on the Brooklyn. Like his prede- cessor, he will be charged to maintain the Status quo there pending the settlement of | the question of annexation. —_-e-+_____ Representative Arnold’s Wife Dead.
