SIEGERT’S ANGOSTURA ERS, the world renowned appetizer of ex- ite favor. Beware of imitations. It is reported that District Attorney ‘oungs has flaally decided to allow Mrs. jack to plead guilty to manslaughter in Grat degree. Judge Thomas J. Mackey, for many years a distinguished lawyer and jurist of South Carolina, end now of New York, is at the Metropolitan, having come to Washington to represent thore representatives from South Carolina whose seats are contested. “I am also here especially to urge demo- cratic congressmen to support the annex- ation of Hawaii,” said he. “I am con- cerned about the matter as an American citizen. I believe that a joint resolution favoring annexation will pass both houses, even should ratification be defeated in the Senate. The democrats claim that to annex Huwaii means to extend our Ine of defense and compel us to an increase of our navy to hold the island. The republi- cans concede mistakenly that a large in- crease in the navy will be required as incident to annexation. This is all a mis- take. If you lessen the effective force of a foreign navy, say that of Great Britain, fer operation against our Pacific coast line it is clear that you have thereby pro- portionately increased your own power of défense of attack. “For example, the nearest British coal- ing station to San Francisco is now 4,700 miles away. The nearest French coaling station is 4,500 miles away, while the near- est Japanese is 5,000 miles away. Hawaii is 2000 miles from San Francisco. Now, you perceive, that for either of those pow- ers to operate against us on the coast of California they must supply themselves with coal, steam being the motive power of warships, for a cruise of more than 9,000 miles, going and coming, and no ex- isting ship can carry a coal supply suffi- cient for such an enterprise. On the con- trary, if either of those powers held Ha- wali it would be within five days’ steam- ing of San Francisco, and might blot out American commerce utterly from the Pa- cific ocean. It would transfer to us the disadvantage that they are now under. If we hold Hawaii we will have two bases of operations on the Pacific and would dominate that ocean. “As long ago as 1842, before the acqui- sition of California had given us our vast interests in the commerce of the Pacific, Hugh S. Legare of South Carolina, then Attorney General, and by many deemed the most profound jurist, as well as the greatest scholar who has ever held that office, declared that our interests in Ha- waii were sufficiently great to warrant us in declaring war against France, rather than see it pass under rule of that or any other foreign power. The French were then indicating a purpose to take posses- sion of those islards. “It is inconceivable to me that demo- crats can oppose the ratification of the pending treaty, in view of the fact that their party has been from its organiza- tion the champion of territorial acquisi- tion, both by purchase and by conquests, as instanced in the acquisition of Louisi- ana under Jefferson through purchase and its admission as u state twelve years later, and the territory we wrested from Mexico, out of which we have carved the states of Utah, Montana, Colorado, Nevada and the territories of New Mexico and Arizona. “To establish my proposition that no increase in our naval strength will be re- quired by the annexation of Hawaii, I would observe that, having two bases on the Pacific coast, we would need but a strong fort at Honolulu, with a comaany of artillerists and a regiment of infantry, and another at Pearl Herbor and one or two cruisers operating from that base, while the works already projected on the Pacific coast would be sufficient, with- out a naval auxiliary, to defend that line, leaving us free to dominate the Pacific with a few cruisers on that ocean sailing from San Francisco. Any naval expert familiar with the conditions upon which sea power depends within any given area will indorse my views that by holding Hawaii we can bring te bear from our present navy a larger force on the Pacifie and operate it more successfully than if a foreign power held that group of islands. “At the same time I am anxious to see the independence of Cuba recognized as soon as we have completed our coast de- fenses, which will take six months longer. A complete system of coast defense would Tequire armament of 7,000 guns and 26,000 artillerists trained in the working of the new system of heavy ordinance. Yet we have not more than 2,800 guns mounted, with a coast line of 12,000 miles in length, and we have not exceeding 3,500 artillerists in our navy, and not 1,000 in the whole country trained to work guns operated under the present complex system for coast defense.” Judge Mackey was captain of engineers in the confederate army, serving through- out the war, aad he has made a study of the question of coast defense. Col. Richard C. Parsons of Cleveland,who is staying at the Arlington, is one of the most picturesque of Ohio’s many distin- guished characters. Twenty years ago he represented the Cleveland district in Con- gress for two terms. Before that he had been the your gest man who ever presided over the house of representatives of his state legislature. It was before the war that he served his people in, this capacity, and he was scarcely more than thirty years old at the time. Salmon P. Chase had left the United States Senate and was serving as governor of Ohio. Chase formed a strong friendship for the young Cleveland statesman that was sev- ere@ only by his death. Older Washing- tonians and frequenters of the capital will recall during the rebellion and the early days of reconstruction when Parsons, as the guest of Chase, was a familiar figure upon the streets and in official society. Then, as now, he was noted for his polisned Manners and speech and particularly for his dress, which was faultless. So careful was Colonel Parsous in the selection of what he wore that he attracted the atten- tion of President Lincoln, who spoke of him one day to Chase, who was then Sec- retary of the Treasury, as “ihe best dress- ed man he ever 8 The last letter ever written by Chase was addressed to Colonel Parsons. The enief justice was at the home of a near relative in New York, being on his way home from the east, whither he had gone in the hope of benefiting his health. The ietter was written about an hour before he was stricken with the dis- ease that killed him. In it he spoke of his love for Parsons and his family, and he closed by writing, “Kiss Richie for me.” ‘This was a reference to Colonel Parsons’ son, Richard C. Parsons, jr., who was then a toddler. This letter is preserved by Col- onel Parsons, and money could not buy it. When Senator Hanna was the principal owner of the old Cleveland Herald, Colonel Parsons was at one time its editor, and for many years there has existed a close affinity between the two. Colonel Parsons has for a number of years represented the vessel interests of the great lakes, and to his influence, perhaps, more than to any other one thing, may be said to be due the deepening of the channels in those great Lodies of water. “For ten years we labored hard to get deeper charnels, so that larger vessels could be used in the carrying trade,” said he to a Staz reporter. “A peculiar phase of the matter is that the business of the smaller craft has been practically ruined. The larger vessels can carry a cargo at cheaper rates than the smalier vessels be- cause they can carry from two to six times as much. The owners of the smaller ves- sels were equally anxious for a deeper water way, but it has proved ruinous to them. It only goes to show what utter lack of sentiment there is in progress and business. Many of the smaller craft are permanently going out of commission every year. In a few years the carrying trade will be entirely absorbed by the massive steel boats. New ones are being built con- stantly. The Rockefellers are now building a new fleet.” It is needless, perhaps, to say that Col- onel Parsons is firm in his belief that Sen- ator Hanna will succeed himself. Waldo G. Morse, secretary of the joint commission appointed by the governors of New York and New Jersey to ask Congress to appropriate money for the protection and conversion of the palisades along the Hud- son river into a national park, is at the Normandie,- where he had a long confer- ence, this médrning, with Representative Stewart of New Jersey regarding the prob- able line of action. Tams Bixby of Muskogee, I. T., arrived in the city last night, and is at the Coch- ran. He is the third member of the Dawes Indian commission to put in an appearance. “We believe that the jurisdiction of the United States courts should operate over An interesting announcement.

Vance of Gallipolis, Ohio, who is attending the national board of trade gathering, is a nephew of the late Senator Zebulon Vance of North Carolina, and is himself a former member of Con- gress. L. N. McQuester and H. Summers of New York, who are owners of several claims in the Klondike country, are late arrivals at the Ebbitt. Van Leer Polk of Nashville is at the Eb- bitt. A. T. Anderson of Cleveland was one of the prominent members of the national board cf trade. Over in the buckeye state, where he is well known and popular, he is called plain “Alf.” Anderson, and this lack of formality on the part of the natives is said to be appreciated very much vy him. Twenty years ago Anderson was eking out a living in a little country town in Grange county by mending tea kettles and adjusting stove pipes. He sivdied the lan- guages evenings with a local linguist, and became quite proficient in Greek and Lati. He secured a job at tinning in a Clevel shop, but the people of that growing cit who know a good thing when they see it, made it possible for him to direct his efforts in another cnannel. The; first elected him a member of the board of education. Then came the county recordership, a position he resigned to ac- cept the appointment of postmaster, te: dered him by President Harrison. The soothsayers of the Cleveland delegation to the board of trade convention say that Anderson will be the next republican post- master of their city. Be that as it may, Anderson is known to be very close to the republican machine, which controls things in the forest city. He is a stanch advocate of the reorganization of the national board of trade and the establishment of a per- manent and appropriate headquarters building in Washington. Anderson is stay- ing at the Cochran. Judge Samuel E. Williamson, a promi- nent lawyer of Cleveland, is among the recent arrivals at the Shoreham. The firm of which Judge Williamson is the senior member is counsel for Senator Hanna in a number of his business enterprises. Judge Williamson's father—also a judge—was, years ago, a partner of Former District Attorney Albert G. Riddle of this city. That was before the war. Riddle first became famous as a lawyer while practicing in Cleveland, principally through his connec- tion with the celebrated Oberlin-Wellington rescue case. That case was one of the stirring events that ed to the final over- throw of slavery. “There is no pelitics in my visit to Wash- ington,” Judge Williamson said to a Star reporter. “I am here on busiress with one of the departments, which will take up my time for a day or so.” “How about the senatorial situation in Ohio?” he was asked. “There is only one man spoken of, de- spite the attempt cf the democratic pre: to create an impression that there is fric- tion, Mr. Hanna will succeed himself or the republican majority in the general as- sembly will prove recreant to its trust.” Registered at Willard’s is former Repre- sentative Alexander M. Hardie of Wash- ington, Ind. Before he was elected to Con- gress from his district Mr. Hardie was for a@ number of years connected with one of the departments in Was! ton.
