BRITISH JUSTICE,

A case which has figured in many Admins.
trations of this Government was considered in
Executive session of the Senate last week, and
q resolution was adopted requesting the Presi-
dent to submit the claim of William Webster
against the British Government to arbitration,
The case was fully considered by the Commit
tee on Foreign Relations, and the report
made by tho committee says that the "cass
presents such repeated instances Of injustice
and Of delay and denial of justice by the final
action Of the Government Of Great Britain -
to warrant the iRterposition Of tbs United
States, and, if other means Of redress had been
exhausted, would justify special reprissls."
The case is that Of William Webster, who
seeks compensation from Great Britain for
500, GOO acres of land in New Zealand, acquired
by him from the native chiefs Of the island,
which was seized by tho Government Of Great
Britain.
This matter was frst made the subject of
negotiation between our Governments and that
of Great Britain during Buchanan's Admins
tration, and the volume of diplomstic CORE.
spondence which has accumulated in the case
shows that this Government has never lost an
opportunity for pressing the claim against
Great Britain, and that tho latter has always
refused to admit the justice of the claim. Pres
ident Harrison referred the claim to the Sem
ate with an exhaustive report on the matter
early in the present year, and the Committee
On Foreign Relations have had the claim under
advisenent for some months; and, as stated
above, the committee find that this is case ft
for special reprisals other means of effecting q
settlement failing. The committee justify their
statement by quoting from authorities on in
ternational law in support Of the reprisal sys-
teu4 but they do not wish to be understood as
advising such action, saying that "the most
important function Of the present day Of this
principle Of international law is Its force az An
argument in support Of proposition for arbi-
tration in such cases as this"

TROUBLE ON THE RIVER FRONT.


Senator Mcmillan, Of Michigan, Chairman Of
the District Of Columbia Committee Of the
Senate, offered . resolution last week that has
greatly startled the people Of Washington.
The resolution Is said to be the first step which
is to be taken by the Government in the direc-
ton Of taking possession OF tho entire water
front of the city, which, 1t Is claimed, belongs
to the Government but which has been oceu-
pled for years by merchants and shipowneIs,
and which they believe they own by right Of
sauatter sovereignty. Senator McMillan's reso-
luton authorizes and directs the Chief of
Engineers of the Army to take possession On
behalf Of the United States Of all the lands,
wharfs, and wharfage property lying between
the Long Bridge and the Arsenal wall, except
ing from Water street on the north TO the Po-
tomac River on the south, which property ne
is to hold In the name Of the United States
The resolution also authorizes the Chief Of
Engineers to call upon the police force of the
District to help him carry the resolution into
effect, should it become necessary. The reso-
luton provides that persons desiring to do 50
can enter into contract for the use OF parts OF
the property within 30 days from the passage
of the resolution and take leases thereof from
tho Chief of Engineers for term not to exceed
five years, for such compensation and on such
conditions touching occupany and payment a.
the Chief Of Engineers may impose. This
property includes nearly all the coal docks,
steamboat wharves lumber-piers Tea ware
houses, and other storage warehouses In the
District, and the resolution greatly disturbs
tho condition Of things along the river front.

priation of 100000 on account of pensions

THE ROCK CREEK PARK.

Louis P. Shoemaker, 2. d. Shoemaker, Cor:
nelia B. Truesdsll, and others have presented
to the Senate and House of Representatives q
memorial In relation to the act recently passed
to establish Rock Creek Park. The memorial
lists are large owners in the tracts of land which
the Government proposes &c condemn for q
public park. They protest against the taking
Of their property for the purpose of public
park, and rather than have this done now pro-
pose to donate to the Government strip Of
land 500 feet in width, along and including
Rock Creek, distance of about one mile, and
which would contain five acres of land.
The memorialists also propose TO donate
another tract of land, making in the two .
donation Of 20 acres. They state that they
prefer to make this gift to the United States
rather than have sll their property condemned.
Memorialists argue that there is NO necessity
for the LOO acres OF land which have been
selected, and by the plan they propose the park
would contain about $50 acres. which would be
ample, and could be maintained at much less
expense to the Government.
