BAYAHUS BRITT. II CASE.

There is curious circumstance in connection
with the treaty that has escaped notice. This
is the fact that Secretary Bayard has embodied
in the restrictive clause of his treaty portion
of the British case which the Halifax Com
mlssioners refused to consider. It was asserted
before that tribunal that freedom to transfer
cargoes. to outfit vessels, buy supplies, obtain
bait and traffic generally in British ports or
harbors" was a privilege which materially en-
HANGED the value of the concessions made in
the Treaty Of 1871. This was part of the
British case submitted to the Commissioners
who were to determine the comparative valuo
of the free market ON one side and Of the in
shore fisheries on the other. The Canadians
wanted to have these secondary commercial
privileges which Secretary Bayard has re-
served under Article XIV until the duties or
fish shall he ::,"'ishcd. expressly included with
the right ! fishing within the thrcc-milc belt
and compensated for in hard cash The Com
missOners refused t take these privileges into
consideration, deciding that it was not com

An AyNrx roe C0LUMBIa COLLEGE

The Columbia College Trustees are to meet
their old problem again to-day. memorial
| is to be presented asking that an annex for
women shall be founded by the college, bear
ing a relation to the institution somewhat
similar to that sustained by the College Of
| Physicians and Surgeons. The petition bears
| the names of men and women prominent in
| the social, educational and literary circles Of
| this city and Brooklyn. Mayor Hewitt. him
self graduate Of Columbia; the president of
the Board of Education. the presidents Of the
two city colleges, clergymcn representing
many denominations and several leading ply
sicians are among the signers. The list is not
formidable as regards numbers but the aim
has been rather to obtain representative names.
The friends of the university education of
women will await the action of the trustees
with much interest. Several times within the
last dozen years similar petitions have been
submitted but the prayer of the petitioners has
never been granted, although the trustees
have gradually lesscncd their opposition to
the education of women.
Poverty will not be a barrier in the way this
time, as it has been before, because no money
is desired from the board. for those behind the
present scheme say that they arc in position
to obtain enough to erect and equip the ncccs-
sary buildings, If Columbia viii assume charge
of the new enterprise. This certainly seems
&c be a reasonable request and one that the
trustees will do well to consider carefully.
The venerable president of the college says:
" | should regard the establishment of an an
mex as desirable only considered as step
toward what think must sooner or later come
to pass, and that is. the opening of the college
proper to both sexes equally" DR.. Barnard
has labored long and earnestly in advocating
coeducation, and while his views are not gen.
orally held by his associates in the board. it is
certain that nc has done much to bring about
the present kindly feeling toward women
Within few weeks the board has established
a post graduate department for them. The
present system of giving diplomas. earned
simply by examinations, has been tried for some
time but it was never considered satisfactory
answer to frequent demand Of the better
classes in this city that one OF the richest
colleges in the land should do something for
the education of the many young women who
desire to obtain a college education without
leaving their homes.

4 BILL TO KILL PRNNPTL

The Assembly Committee on General Laws
has fallen into an amazing error in reporting
iavorably Mr.. Firms bill concerning betting
Any bill introduced by Finn should be sub
jccted to the severcst scrutiny Finn is a
model Of the class Of men which the lowest
and worst OF the Democratic wards disgrace the
city by sending to Albany. How the commit
tee could have received any measure proposed
by such man with anything but suspicion
passes conjecture. lis members must have
been wholly ignorant Of the influences behind
this bill and of the real purposes which it aims
TO accomplish, or they could never have re-
ported it favOiably.
This bill would repeal the salutary and
wholesome legislation by which the selling Of
pools and making of betting books in the city
were declared fclonics. 1t was prepared in the
interest of the corrupt and rotten Book makers
Alliance and of the city pool-rooms, though
its real objects are cunnngly yelled in obscure
language No one with any knowledge of the
subject. who studies its provisions. can doubt
that the effect Of il would be to stimulate and
expand enormously the vlcst and most per-
nicious form OF gambIing-thc betting in city
pool-rooms by young clerks. office boys and
others OF small mcans-while it would ruin
legitimate and honest racing. The men back

Dr. De Costas attacks upon the Charity Or
ganixation Society might have greater weight
than will be attached to them had not Bishop
Potter repeatedly expressed confidence in the
society. At its recent annual meeting the
Bishop declared his /" entire satisfaction" with
its methods and work. That is the general
feeling of the community. DIR. De Costa is in
q hopeless minority and an attitude of modcsty
would be becoming. The Charity Organization
Society very likely has made mistakes. but the

The Statesman" from Corsicana who occu-
pies but doesn't fill the Office of chairman Of

himself with The notion that the House will

mates that only fourteen Democrats will OPP
pose tho measure. and he hopes for ten Repub-
lican votes in its favor. II is easy. as our
Washng tOn dispatches show. to count up moro
than twice fourteen members OF the majority
who will vote against the product of the Dark

TO have such an easy time with his pet as he
imagines at present. The country is being

the County Option provisions. will be regarded
with general interest. Seeing that the final
enactment Of the law was inevitable. it is
almost TO be wondered at that Governor Green
should have taken so much pains to accentuate
the alliance that is known TO exist between the
saloon and the Democratic party.
