The Hotel Empire fills it. It is equal in equipment, accessibility, cuisine and service to the most expen- sive hotels of the world, and its rates are less than those charged by the ordinary hotel. It is delightfully situated at the intersection of the Grand Boulevard, Columbus avenue and 634 street, and fronts on Empire Park. It is noted for the excellence of its cuisine and service, its homelike and beautiful appointments, its delightful music, and its moderate rates. It is the winter home of many of the best families of the Metropolis, and enjoys the patronage of travelers and tourists of the best class from all parts of the world. All points in the city can be reached more easily and in less time from the Hotel Empire than from any of the down town hotels. The Broadway cable, the Sixth, Seventh and Ninth Avenue, the Am- sterdam Avenue and the Boulevard and Forty-second surface cars pass its entrance. The stations of the Sixth and Ninth Avenue “L” Roads are only one minute’s walk from its doors. The Belt Line cars only one block away. W. JOHNSON QUINN, Proprietor de14-1m PIANOS AND ORGANS.

CUNNINGHAM. sel-im THE COAST FAVORS IT. Dwellers on Pacific Shores Not Op- posed to Hawaiian Annexation. From the San Francisco Chronicle, Active efforts are being made to deceive Corgress into the belief that the people of this state and of the Pacific coast are not in favor of Hawaiian annexation. To that end private interests are at work in the name of the public, but without authoriza- ticn to speak for anything besides the: selves. Men who want a puppet govern- ment in Hawaii, which they can move back and forth, as they did that of Kalakaua, iy to their gain, are assuring con- smen that the sentiment of ihe coast is snst the treaty. Other men who were aded off by the revolution of 1sy3 from ‘ying out scnem to turn the islands into a sugar barony, where a few white piutocrats, owning all the soil and tiling it with nalf a milli control the sugar bu: States and crush beet sugar competition, are following suit. Isut these men do not represent the coast majority, nor even a fair minority. They aré self-seekers w! no challenge the general sentiment of the Pa- cific states when they pretend to speak for it, and who mean to use any advantages Cengress may give them to create a tor- midab.e trust. To ertain the feeling of this coast Congress need do no more than consult the records of our most conspicuous public bodies. The California legt laiure, which sent Mr. White to the Senate, passed ar apnexation resolution. The chambers of commerce and boards of trade of all the important cities of the coast, save one, have indorsed the annexation policy. So strorg was the pressure of the state upon Senator Perkins during the past summer that he patriotically laid aside prejudices of his own against the treaty and let it be Known that in his representative capacity he had no recou but to favor it. As to the press, the Chronicie, representing the republican party in the morning field of San Francisco; the Examiner, the locai democratic organ of the state; the Bulletin and the Post are for annexation, with but one newspaper, and that owned by Mr. Spreckels, opposed. ‘Che proportion of pub- lic journals for and against in this city is applicable to the journals of the other Pa- cific states, and to the people themselv We say without hesitation that there could be no doubt of the passage of the Sherman- Hatch treaty by a two-thirds majority if the result depended upon a popular vote in California, Oregon, Nevada and Washing- ton. ‘The reason why public opinion is so much one way is both commercial and defensive. The trade of Hawaii for the present year will amount to about $25,000,000, the great- er part of it being with this coast. We Know that annexation would add immense- ly to its import features, with correspond- ing gain to our own exports, for Hawali as a field of purely tropical production is bound to depend on the Pacific coasyfor the most of what it eats and wears and for every kind of manufactured article save sugar; and with the growth of white popu- lation there the demand must steadily in- crease. If annexation does not come the white population, for reasons we shall pres- ertly explain, must go backward. It is only the hope of stable government under the American flag which Keeps the island whites together now. Hawaii must be lost to us commercially if denied admittance to the Union. We say so because it is the ambition of Japan to colonize the group, so as to make it a trade dependency; perhaps, also, by gaining the franchise for her subjects, to pave the way for a Japanesc republic and a poiitical de- pendency. To escape this fate the island government has shown that it wouid ap- peal to Great Britain to annex Hawaii to her empire, offering a monopoly of trade, if need be, to obtain the boon. Could the United States resist? There is no part of the Monroe doctrine which permits us to intertere with any attempi that a free gov- ernment may make Luv veiter iis own condi- tion by a foreign bargain. We can oppose a seizure, but not a willing cession. it is none of our business what a nation does with its own; and in the case we suggest America could do no more than to stand by and see its trade go to a rival. This brings us to the question of defense. Hawaii, with its two harbors, its encircling reef and precipitous shores, is a natural Gibraltar. Whoever holds it has the key to the North Pacific; whoever fortifies it, aside from ourselves, has the key to the Pacific coast. Japan could not make war upon us with a base at Yokohama, but with Hawaii hers—and she would seize the group tomorrow if war broke out—she could put a large fleet near our harbors and maintain it there, unless It shouid be beaten by our own navy. Then, in the event of war with England, our first military effort in the west would be to capture Esquimalt. With that in hand, what could England, unless she held Hawaii, do against us? She could not maintain a fleet in these waters with the nearest dock and coal pile at Auckland or Hong-Kong; and so, unless she could take Hawaii, the war in the Pacific would have to stop. But with the isiands in hand, held like another Bermuda, the safe harbor of warships, the western coast could be haried by powerful cruisers and battle ships, outnumbering our own. To sum up the defensive urgument, the United States needs Hawzli tu keep the group from fall- ing into the hands of future enemies and being used against this coast. There are other reasons why the public sentiment of the western states is for ay- nexation, but they need not be recapitu- lated here. Those we have given are para- mount, and they stand against all the as- saults made upon them by private interests. If the coast’s wishes weigh in this grave matter, they will be accepted by Congress in Heu of all opposing pleas that are or may be urged in its name, and will be used to bring about and to justify the speedy annexation of the Hawaiian group. a One Thing. of the western and she finally gave whet she thought weuld be a parting shot. “You rail at us,” che said, “and make fun of us, but what, I ask you, would you sede Heke” be soplied and she was so indignant that it took her three weeks to make up her mind to ask for a new bonnet. 5 men on the tax commission, however, is rot credited.

Among other things drifting in with the return Tammany iide from Lakewood came a story to the effect that a movement has already been set on foot by the democrats ef Congressman Quigg’s district to defeat shim for re-election next fall. It is as- serted that Tammany and national demo- crats are preparing for a combination against Quigg. The story is confirmed by Whidden Graham, one of the George man- agers in the late campaign, He says that the George people are ready to join all other democrats in the district to defeat Quigg, and that a combination will prob- ably be formed.

Celebration in Brooklyn. Over in Brooklyn they are arranging for a celebration, but in a more modest way. The idea at present is to have the city hall brightly lighted on New Year's eve—not illuminated, but just lighted up all over. In the mayor's office will be, it is hoped, all the living ex-mayors of the city. There are eight who may be present. In the con- troller’s office will be all the ex-conitrollers, and in the city auditor's room will be all the ex-city auditors, and so on through the executive departments. In fact, the mayor has been furnished with lists of all the cabinets for years back, and all who are living will be invited to attend. Then there is to be provided an orator for the occasion, One thing at least is now settled, and that is that there is to be an observance, and the society of old Brooklynites is to play a large part in it. In,all probability there will be a handsome souvenir issued giving a brief history of the past year of the city, with pictures of : officials and speciar scenes and institutions. There may aiso be medais struck off, but this will all depena upon whethir the committee decides to raise a li.ue money toward the event, as at present there is no fund, and there is a feeling agairst raising one. Or course all this has no political aspect. Jt has nothing to do with the Tammany blowouts scheduled for New Year day to glorify the “tizer” and its return to power. In assumiag this power, no city government has made fairer pledges than Tammeny. ‘An honest, efficient and popu- tar government worthy of the greatest taunicipality of the western world” sounds well, but it doesn’t ring true. Take the ad- dress of the general committee at its re- cent meeting, where John C. Sheehan sat in the backgrovnd in the spectators’ sec- tion, and thereby bore evidence to his “passing.” The address appears to foreshadow an at- tempt to make political capital by pur- suing policies opposite to those pursued by Mayor Strong’s administration. For in- stance, there is a promise that “waste shall give way to prudence, extravagance to wide liberality, intolerance to liberty and the alien office holders to our own resi- dents.” This plan {is unoriginal and bar- ren. If the new administration is approved it will be aproved on its own merits, not because it is unlike Mayor Strong’s ad- ministration. if Brooklyn's Share of the Offices. It was stated by a returned Tammany- ite who had been present at the Lakewood conference that the Brooklyn situation has been adjusted about as follows: Brooklyn will get no representation in the board of health or in the board of docks. In the de- partment of public improvement it is to have two of the seven commissionerships. In the municipal assembly it is to have one-third of the patronage that goes with the city clerk’s office and with the clerk- ship of the koard of aldermen. It will have cne-third of the new patronage in the eon- troller’s office and all that shall come to it by the establishment of borough bureaus in Brooklyn. The deputies for each de- parunent for Brooklyn and their assistants are to be selected by a committee on pa- tronage. After this committee has passed upen applications for minor offices in Brooklyn, Mr. Hugh McLaughlin's O. K, will be necessary in order to insure the ap- pointment. =4 The heads of departments announced as selected as Brooklyn's share of the spoils are as follows: John L. Shea, An Effort to Protect the Litt From Extermination, From the Richmond Dispatch. The people of the eastern shore hy indorse the bill of Delegate S. Wilkins Mat- thews, intended to prevent the killing of muskrats during certain months of the year, and Senator Le Cato knew that he was doing the right thing when, as chair- man of the senate committee, he made a favorable report on the muskrat bill. It created no surprise here when it was am- nounced in the Richmond papers that the upiand members of the general assembly had endeavored tg poke fun at the bill and indulge in good-natured railery at Dele- gate Matthews and Senator Le Cato. The Dispatch correspcndent was once as ignor- ant of the delicious flavor of muskrat meat as these upland representatives now appear to be; but some fifteen years ago a kind friend in Onancock offered him some musk- rat that had been caught and cocked at thé home of the late George R. Dennis, for- merly a United States senator from Mary- land, and from that day to this the afore- said correspondent has been a dear lover of muskrat, properly prepared and cooked, Senator Dennis, who was himseif an east- ern shoreman and owned a@ fine estate on Pocomoke river, was a high authority on things good to eat, and it is known that he put but few things, if any, above musk- rat. Another man of this region famed for his good living was the late Samuel C, Taylor, who for many years was a pillar of the old Messengo Hardshell Baptist Church in the northern part of Accomac. So strong was his liking for muskrat that when he was eighty-three years old he spent an entire Sunday in digging some of these wily little animals out of their holes on the banks of Messengo creek, for which he was summarily turned out of the church. Numerous other authoritis and instances could be cited to prove that Delegate Matthews and Senator Le Cato are right in protecting the muskrat from extermination, and that the upland mem- bers are wrong in trying to ridicule a measure fraught with so much interest to the epictres of the eastern shore and oth- er tidewater regions of Virginia. A gentleman who has just arrived here from King and Queen county, where musk- rats abound along the water courses, says that the people of that section heartily in- dorse the muskrat bill of Mr. Matthews. It is currently reported here that Delegate Matthews is going to have several musk- rats caught and properly prepared during the Christmas holidays, and will take them to Richmond for the upland members to eat, hoping thus to convert them from the error of their way of thinking about musk- rats. Several years ago, while this writer was spending a summer in his native county of Neison, he was regaling some ot his old friends with an account of how the eastern shore people cooked and ate the famous diamond-back terrapin, when an old colored man, who had been an atten- tive listener, remarked, with a significant grunt, “Well, I never expected dat a white man raised in dis county would ever come to dat!” Commissioner of bridges, leader of the seventeenth assembly district.
