ESCAPE or THE ITATL.

The failure of the Charleston to oyertake the
Itata has direct bearing upon the problems OF
naval construction now under consideration In
Secretary Tracy's Department. The cruiser
made a good run from San Francisco to Aca-
pulco and was within few hours of the escap-
ing ship when she reached the Mexican port.
The necessity of renewing her coal-supply pre-
vented the capture of the ship. The Pacific
Mail steamer Colima going north from Acapulco
met both vessels on May Is, one at ii a. m.
and the other at 5 g 0 p m. She gave informa-
ton to the commander of the Charleston which
assured him that he was on the right track and
rapidly reducing the distance between the YES
sells. If the cruiser on reaching Acapulco and
asoertaining that the Itata had not gone into
port had been able to continue the pursuit at
once, it is highly probable that the ship would
have been oyertaken. The delay Of twenty
four hours required for coaling the Charleston
enabled the ltata to battle pursuit Here Is
practical demonstration of the necessity OF
largely increasing the coal endurance of fast
cruisers. The ships recently designed by the
Department answer the requirements OF such
a voyage as the Charleston has been making.
Starting from San Francisco with cOal-bunkers
filled they could have made the run to Iquique
without stopping at either Acapulco or Callao
to replenish their supplies.
The voyage of the Charleston, while unsuc-
ocssful, establishes an absolute defence against
any demands which the Balmaceda Government
may present on the ground of lack of diligence
in the case of the ltata. The vessel was prompt
ly seized as soon as the Chilian Minister pre-
scented proofs of her character and purposes,
and when she was forcibly rescued one of the
fastest cruisers afioat was sent out TO take her
on the high seas. Certainly If there was any
lack of diligence in placing one deputy marshal
in charge of the Itata there has been most
energetic action at every subsequent stage of
the proceedings. The American Government
could never have recovered the heavy bill of
damages for the depredations of the Alabama,
Florida and Shenandoah and their tenders if
British cruisers had been put on the track Of
the escaping ships 1t was the neglect of the
British Government TO regard the protests of
the American Minister at London against the
sailing Of the Confederate cruisers and subse-
quently to take any measures for capturing
them even when they entered colonial ports,
that operated 10 clinch the American demand
for reparation. The United States Govern
ment, by ordering the pursuit Of the ltata on
the high seas-a procedure most unusual, for
which there were few precedents, and even

these not strictly analogous-has cincheo no
defence against any future demands from Chih
for indemnify.
The voluntary surrender of the ltata by the
insurgents at Iquique will be most satisfactory
termination of this complex affair. If this re-
suit can he accomplished by diplomatic means
without resistance from the insurgent navy, the
authority of the courts of the United States will
be indicated That would be most gratifying
TO American pride. The Administration, while
it is justified in making strenuous efforts to Sc
cure the peaceabc surrender Of the ship to the
Jurisdiction OF the courts, will undoubtedly eau

Gillian waters against indiscreet attempts to
seize the Itata under circumstances which may
involve naval hostilities. The American Navy
is not under obligations to fight Balmaceda

MIR. Goschen's announcement that on next
Monday the Government will introduce into the
British Parliament measure enabling 1t 70 re-
strain Canadian poaching in Behnng sea IS
good so far as it goes. The trouble is that the
poaching has already begun, and that notnine
the British Government can now DO Will Dc
really and thoroughly effectua in enforcing
closed season. At the best it will be SIX weeks
vet before the British cruisers can be actually
on the scene OF the depredations armed WITH
authority to stop them, and by that time many
thousands of seal will DO killed. Lord sans
bury's conduct in so long delaying his favorable
response to our proposals has been most UNFAIR
lie has presumed upon the pacific and long
suffering temper of the American Nation. we
do not say that he has done this for the pur-
pose of committing us to all the losses OF q
closed season while enabling the Canadians TO
evade it and to go on with their work OF plum
dor and destruction, but that will be the effect
of his policy, and it is an axiom that the law
presumes a man to intend the natural result OF
his acts

VIII THEY EYER MEETf

IL is big contract which the trustees of the
Bushwick Democratic Club over in Brooklyn
have taken. The Bushwick Democratic Club
has hitherto been unknown to fame. but if the
scheme which its officers have conceived is
carried through 10 succcss there will be no doubt
about its widespread famousness q few weeks
hence. We learn from our Republican con-
temporary, "The Brooklyn Times,n that the
club is engaged in erecting a club house at
Bushwick-ave. and Hart-st., and that it is in
tended to lay the cornerstone on July 10. On
that interesting occasion it is proposed If the
club trustees are able to carry out their plans,
to have those two eminent Democratic states
men, Grover Cleveland and David Bennett Hill
meet, embrace in public, and kiss the kiss of
peace and reconciliation. 1t is a pretty scheme
and if it can be consummated there is no doubt
that the corner of Bushwickaye. and Hart
will become holy ground to Democrats, and that
many will rise up and pronounce the Bushwick
Democratic Club blessed. Thus far, however
the scheme seems to be all in the air. So far
as we are informed. there has been no assur-
ance from either of the statesmen concerned
that he will take the part assigned to him in the
programme. In fact, the picture which the
trustees Of the Bushwict Club have oonjured ND
is purely an imaginative one, and no guarantee
can be given that it will ever assume a sub
stantial form.
Any one familiar with the numerous efforts
put forth at divers and sundry times to bring
these two Democrats together cannot fail to
realize the magnitude of the undertaking on
which the Bushwick Democratic Club has en-
tered. 1t is not necessary to 90 outside of
Brooklyn for a convincing demonstration. The
central Democratic organization in that town
rejoices in substantial building known as the
Thomas Jefferson. When its cornerstone was
laid, and again when the building was formally
opened, strenuous efforts were made to bring
Cleveland and Hill together What was the
resultp Why, that at the cornerstone laying

There is lack of clear seeing and straight think
ing over in New-Jersey in respect to what the
States law-mal1ing powers have or have not done.
1t was supposed until few days ago that the
bill changing the time of the charter election in
Elizabeth from December to April had been en-
acted. A number of ordinances were passed in this
belief and the city went to the expense of print
ing them for several weeks in the newspapers,
when somehow it was ascertained that the Gov
ernor had never signed the bill. Then in Pater-
son they have just found out that law requir-
ing sales by Sherifs, etc, to be advertised in at
least one German newspaper where there is such
a paper in the county, was passed by the last
Legislature, and it is believed that large num-
Der of sales made without such advertising are
illegal. Singularly enough, the Chancellor holds
that when these advertisements are put in Ger
man paper they must be printed in English Just
how that is to benefit German readers, for whose
benefit presumably the law was passed, would
probably puzzle the legislators themselves to ex-
plain.

While the Kingsbridge cow case will never at
tain the notoriety of the Jones County calf Incl
dent, it affords basis for interesting legal argu-
ment. A painter, it is charged, threw his paint
cans into a field where cow was pastured. The
COW ate some of the paint and not long after died
Whether the owner of the COW is entitled to
damage for the loss of his animal or the painter
can recover wages for interior work on the cow
is the problem for judicial consideration 1t is
pretty case it stands, but might be complicated
if the parents of some suffering infant began suit
for pains inflicted by the use Of milk from the
COW between the time when it ate the paint and
its death.
