The President has sent message to Con-
gress on the recent outrages on the Chinese at
Rock Springs Mr.. Cleveland denies that the
United States is liable for the loss OF life and
PROPERTY the Chinese there suffered, but he
brings the matter to the benevolent attention
of Congress" and suggests that 1t would be a
generous action on our part to indemnify the
poor sufferers. The main question, however,
which the President raises is whether the Chi
nese have any rights at all under the treaty of
1880. According to Mr.. Cleveland, that reaty
would seem to be only waste paper.
The defence in the Holland trial has been
opened, and evidently the prisoners shrewd
and able lawyers expect to make out strong
case of self prctectiOn. District Attorney
MARITIME has doDe as much as could be expected
for the prosecution, but he is fighting heavy
odds when he is forced to take such fellow as
@The" Davis for his principal witness. How
ever the trial may result, it may be said for
Holland that since his bullet put sudden stop
to one "sawdust" game, sleek scOundrels Of
the Davis type have been less audaciOus and
offensive than before. This sort of swindling
has been so thoroughly exposed in connection
with the crime and the trial that the swindlers
can find no more dupes.
The chief engineer of the aqueduct is too
well known in this community for his reputa-
tion to suffer under the charges made by Con-
struction Engineer Craven, whose resignation
has been requested by the Aqueduct Commits
soners. The charges and Mr.. Church's answer,
which is satisfactory on every point, will be
found on another page Mr.. Craven proved
an insubordinate and inefficient officer, and Mr..
Church recommended the abolition of the Office
which he holds. Mr.. Cravens accusations are
an evident attempt to "get square " with his
superior Mr. Church has nothing to fear, how
ever. His integrity and capacity as au engineer
are conspicuous, and Crayen's attempt to injure
him will be sure to recoil upon his own head.
The remarks which Judge Giderseeve yes
terday addressed to the Grand Jury are not cal
culated to serve as balm for the wounds which
the Senate Committee has inflicted upon the
tender sensibilities of Jacob Sharp and those
affiliated with him in the Broadway railroad
outrage When the Senate Committee gets
through with its investigation the Grand Jury
will make another, and possibly one fraught
with more serious consequences 10 the brazer
milk -drinker and the rest The judge tells the
Grand Jury that they are e to probe this scan
DIAL to is lowest depth and uncover to the light
and the operation of law and Justice every act.
No Grand Jury ever had better opportunity
afforded it of rendering the people of this great
city a wholesome service of the first Import
ance. Let us hope his fellow citizens whom
Judge Gidersleeve addressed will be true tC
their obligations.
The officers of the Dry Dock, East Broadway
and Battery Railroad must have greet deal OF
confidence in their resources, slice they have
concluded to resist the demands of the drivers
and conductors. But the recent experience o.
some of the oldest and strongest companies II
the city was not of a nature 10 encourage suci
resistance. When the managers of the IhlrC
Avenue, Fourth Avenue, Sixth Avenue ant
Seventh Avenue lines found it prudent to yield
is the Dry Dock Company likely to succeed
Public opinion seems to be clearly oil the sid
of overworked and underpaid street-car EN-
ployes, and any surface railway corporation
which defes public opinion is sure to have al
