MARINE SOVEREIGNTY.

"The cruize of the Claudine u
has given rise to not a little debate
amongst those "who ought to
know " as to what would or might
lawfully have taken place had the
Claudine met the vessel she was
said to have been in search of close
to or at a distance from Hawaiian
land.
Presuming that the officials of
the Government were properly
commissioned for the purpose, and
that the Claudine for the occasion
was a national vessel, it may be
confidently stated that within Ha-
waiian territorial waters the Ha-
waiian Commission would have to
be respected by vessels of any ma
ton just as if the same vessels were
at anchor in Honolulu or any other
port in the islands.
Any foreign vessel attempting to
trade, to land or ship cargo at any
Hawaiian port not port of entry
would be liable to the provisions
of Hawaiian law if any treaty ex
lsted between the two nations.
The question then is, what con-
stitutes territorial waters7" This
phrase in its origin meant, any
water over which, or over the en-
trance to which, the power possess
ing the coast can throw a shot.
Old established custom, admitted
by most treaty nations, has given
an arbitrary range of three miles.
Hence territorial waters are those
within three miles of the shore of
any country holding an lndepen-
dent standing in the comfy of ma
tions, in other words, admitted to
the international treaty-making
group of nations.
In the case of channels between
islands, or between q continent and
a continental island, each being an
integral part Of the same posses
sions, the width of the channel and
other considerations are held to
weigh in an argument as to whe-
ther the whole width, if exceeding
SIX miles. be or be not the terri.
tory of the adjacent country.

EXTRACT FROM THE HAWAIIAN
RECIPROCITY TREATY.

(From Willett & Gray's Sugar Circular.) }
ARTICLE I.-For and in consideration
of the rights and privileges granted by
His Majesty the King Of the Hawaiian
Islands in the next succeeding article of
this convention, and as an equivalent
therefor, the United States of America
hereby agree to admit all the articles
named in the following schedule, the
same being the growth and manufacture
or produce of the Hawaiian Islands. into
all the ports Of the United States free OF
duty.
SCHEDULE Arrow-root; castor-oil;
bananas, nuts, vegetables, dried and un-
dried, preserved and unpreseryed hides
and skins, undressed; rice; pulu; seeds,
plants, shrubs or trees; muscovado,
brown and all other unrefined sugar,
meaning hereby the grades of sugar
heretofore commonly imported from the
Hawaiian Islands and now known III
the markets of San Francisco and Port
land as Sandwich Island sugar.
syrups of sugar-cane, melada and mo-
lasses; tallow."

cruiser Alabama lay perfectly safe
in Cherbourg, while the Kearsage
had to watch her from extra terri
toriaI water. The former having
crossed the three mile line, entered
upon the "high seas" though little
more than three miles from French
territory, and less than the width
of the Kauai channel from British
ground. Here the Kearsage at
tackled her and the battle was
fought on neutral ground or its
equivalent extra territorial waters,
in the presence of the neutral flag
on either side.
But it is generally held to be
otherwise when both sides of
strait or channel are the territory
of the same power. 1t may be
doubted if the Alabama fight would
have come off between Dublin and
Holyhead, about as far apart as
Portsmouth and Cherbourg, at
least without some diplomatic cor
respondence to follow. We are
therefore of opinion that the inter-
island channels of the Hawaiian
group are, or ought to be consid-
cred as territorial waters.

1t will be seen from the above
extract from the treaty that Sand
wich Island sugars are not limited
to No. 16 D. S. in color, but are
free of duty for any color of unre-
fined sugar. Our Government needs
the Island sugar, and will not be
particular about color.
The character OF these sugars is
of the very best. They are dry,
and of fine even grain.
The No. 16 d. S. IN color of this
sugar is sure to test almost as high
as granulated sugar. There will
be a good demand for these sugars
from confectloners, bakers, Gamers
and tobacconists, and if above No.
16 D. S. for domestic uses outside
of the sugar bowl. Some portion
of the crop should be sent East for
a market, but only selected high
color and high test.
The present crop of the Islands
is about 10000 tons, which is more
than the requirements of the Pacific
Coast; but if we are right in our
expectations, the crop can be in
creased, and find ready sale in
the Eastern markets for direct con-
sumption.
Selected dry sugars of No. 16
D. S. and upwards can be shipped
by sail direct from the Islands to
New York. all lower grades can
be sold for refining in San Fran
cisco.
There has been some disposition
shown by the Hawaiian Govern
ment to cancel the present treaty,
but we think it will be found that
a specially profitable trade is wait
ing in the United States for their
production of dry, high color, and
SO to SO degs. testing sugar, which
cannot be found for this sugar in
any other country. No other coun-
try except Java produces similar
sugars, ana Ghe Importation OF Java
sugars is limited to No. 16 d. S.
We see no reason why the Sand
wich Islands may not make No.
20 D. S. unrefned sugar for the
United States trade under the pres
ent treaty, which would come into
direct competition with granulated
sugar for many uses.
1t will not be well for the Islands |
to abrogate the treaty until they |
have tested this new business thor
The fact that they are |
not limited to No. 16 D. S. in color, !
while other countries are, may
prove of more benefit to them than
the former state of things, as 1T
opens to them a trade for an un-
limited production, whereas here
tofore their production has been |
kept down nearly to the limited
requirements of the Pacific Coast. |
This may prove one of the surprises |
1f the new tariff.

Interesting Meeting Held at the Church Of
the Covenant Last Night.
The members Of the Kings Daughters and
Sons in this District held meeting last even
ing in the lecture room OF the Church Of the
Covenant. The various circles in this city we're
represented, and the reports made of the work
done were of an encouraging character. The
president for the District, Miss Lipscomb, pre-
sided, and after devotional exercises Miss
Kimball sang solo. The District secretary,
Mrs. Lapham, read report which detailed the
work accomplished by each circle. One circle
makes and distributes garments to the poor,
another meets once month for Bible study,
while the members Of another welcome strang-
ers who come to their church and call upon
them during the year. Many members have
been added to the order and many new circles
formed, as the sale of $50 Kings Daughter
badges will testify. Mrs Gabella c. Davis Of
New York, member of the executive board,
made an extended address, giving full history
Of the organization and its work. Another
meeting will be held at the Church of the Cove
nant this evening. The organization Of the
Kings Daughters was formed in New York in
1886, and today the membership is over zoe. 0O0
At first the membership was confined to women;
now men are admitted.

HE PLEAD HIS OWN CASE.

Lawyer England Explains His Conduct to
the Court and 10 Released.
Henry Clay England, member Of the bar,
was today called upon before Judge Nmbal to
plead his own case, and Lawyer Moss reminded
him Of the maxim: THE lawyer who pleads his
own case has fool for client" That was be-
cause Mr.. England wanted 70 do too much
talking. Lawyer England was charged with
being . vagrant, and among the Witnesses who
appeared against him were Policemen Foller
and Heller.
1t was alleged that he begged for money and
also that he was in the habit Of drinking.
81 deny the charge" said the prisoner. ''The
when threatened to shoot Judge Wylie. and
was under the influence Of liquor at that time.
That was the last time that drank anything,
for then thought had had enough"
England then told Of his association with
Judge Walker in the practice OF his profession
and said he was interested as counsel in case
involving sl00, 0OO $50 far as begging is con-
cerned, :" he continued, Il am eccentric l am
liberal with my money, and all the begging
did was to request the loan Of i've cents. You
know that after man stops drinking he wants
stimulant Of somo sort and l wanted i've cents
to get cigarettes"
HIS CHARACTER As A CHRISTIAN GENTLEMAN.
Aver OlSpCslnS OF 80 mucu OF tue Cu"rBe
England had something to say Of his character
as Christian gentleman and proceeded to tell
why he went to the Central Union Mission, %
the officers had said something about that In
one breath he told the Judge that he had been
invited to lead the meetings at the mission and
in the next he told of going to Kernan's too
late to see the performance.
Judge Kimban here interrupted him and
wanted to know how he was going to reconcile
the two statements, whereupon the prisoner
became excited and asked: Am to be judged
and sent down for going to a theater like many
other Christians"
"You have not been judged" said the court;
.but II you are not more careful you will be
judged guilty Of contempt"
II beg your honors pardon" said England.
II talked loud because l was excited"
The next accusation to be disposed Of was his
reason for being on the streets at all hours Of
the night, and Lawyer England said that he
could easily explain that. Why he said, Il
have been rooming with young man from my
town, Rockville, and he has been suffering with
the grip. When 60 to bed and lie on my back
l snore, and he complained that he could not
sleep. I told him, confound him, that would
rather walk the streets than be bothered in
that way, and that's the reason the officers see
me on the streets"
England said that in addition to his practice
he was in the employ of Mr.. Jewell of No Is Z
street, and the court directed that Jewell be
sent for.
Lawyer Williamson gave evidence in behalf
Of the defendant, and the latter was dis
charged on his own recognizance. al

1t IL Finally Settled and the Express Com.
pany's Suit Discontinued.
The suit Of President John Hoey of the
Adams Express Company against the American
Exchange National Bank, which grew out of
the robbery Of $4,000 package while in
transit from New York to the Treasury Depart
ment in this city, was discontinued in New
York yesterday, the matter having been settled
outside Of court. None of the parties inter-
ested would make public terms Of the settle
ment.
The robbery Of the package took place in
1888. The money was done up in package by
the cashier Of the bank and given to Messen-
gers Crawford and Earl Of the bank to deliver
to the express company. They did so, presum-
ably, in each others company. The package
was receipted for by the express company and
by them forwarded to this city, where upon
being opened it was found to contain nothing
but brown paper cut to the size of bank notes.
The express company was held responsible for
the loss and paid the money to the bank. De-
tective Pinkerton ran the thief down nearly a
year afterward. He was E. s. Crawford the
bank messenger. The express company then
sued the bank for the return Of the money.
which it had paid.
