THE NEWS IN WASHINGTON.
What Is Thought at the National Capital
of the Ownership.

OF the Ownership.
WASHINGTON, Aug 3-The news that
Johnston Island, in the Pacific. had been
seized by the British man. of-war Champion
was not received in Washington until a
late hour last night A few Congressman,
when given the news by THE CALL cor
respondent. were inclined to regard the
seizure as something TO be regarded
seriously. but for the most part those seen
were disposed to think that the affair was
enc of small Importance and which could
be settled in short while by resort to
diplomacy. The Pacific Coast Senators and
pa representatives., who understand the i'm
portance of extending our jurisdiction over
all those small Pacific islands, we're in
cllned to consider the action of the English
snip Champion as move on the part of the
British Government to establish a coaling
station there.
We ought not to Yield a single point IL
controversy should arise between the two
Governments" said Senator Squire at is
OF the utmost Importance to the Pacific
Coast that the United States extends its
dominion over all of these islands, which by
reason OF their location certainly appertain
10 this country, even though they may have
never been actually occupied by Americans
England certainly has no business to 90
proving around in our waters and Selling
an island that is 50 remote from her. You
may uci'tHo upon IL. InouRO, tnat II our
Government is the rightful p0ssessor of the
Island IN dispute, as it seems to be accord
ing to the Atlorney-GeDeraPs opinion which
you have quoted, the President will be
found with plenty of backbone for the
emergency. 1t really looks to me like
serious business. and ii may be of far more
slgnhcance to us than the Chilean i'm
broglio or the Boring Sea dispute"
Senator FELTON, was inclined to heIieva
that the matter would be settled in short
order by the diplomats.
The CALL correspondent, as was nre-
Ylously stated in these d dispatches, visited the
State Department in reference to this mat
ter several days ago and after long search
through the records found an opinion of
Attorney General Black bearing on the mat
ter. In which the latter held that the island
belonged to the United States. But this
was merely an opinion, and Of course il
would have left the matter far from settle
ment If another Attorney General should
nave given contrary opinion.
\ OF having received entirely satisfactory
information from the under secretaries re-
gardlng the ownership of the island THE
CALL correspondent visited the Secretary
OF State, Mr.. Foster himself. and laid the
case before him. Mr.. Foster was evidently
interested in the matter and immediately
gave directions that all the data obtainable
