why Secretary Herbert Keeps tho Big
Cruiser in the East
WASHINGTON, May 20 There has been
come speculation in naval circles as to
the purpose OF Secretary Herbert in
bringing the San Francisco around from
the Pacific and making her the flagship
Of the North Atlantic squadron, just at
the time when the policy Of the depart
ment appears to 90 to distribute the new
vessels among the foreign stations. The
reason ID the secretary is very proud OF
the beautiful white cruiser and wished
her to take the position of flagship OF
the North Atlantic squadron for which
she is admirably fitted so far as interior
accommodations are concerned) in order
that in this conspicuous place she
might present evidence, not only to Wis
iting foreigners but to the people of the
east. of the excellent naval construction
that.is possible on the Pacific coast.

Annexation and the Behring Sea
Question.

Tho arbitrutors for the settlement Of the
fur seal question will meet shortly in Paris.
It is no secret that The Sun expects u de-
cision adverse to the claims Of the United
States on the points to be submitted to
the tribunal. Our claims will be clearly
stated and ably argued. Great care has
been taken in the preparation OF tho Ameri-
can case, but it rests on a defective founda-
ton. or at least on one of novel construc-
ton, not hitherto recognized in interna-
tional aw. Hence it is likely to fail.
1t will be remembered that the Hon. +. j.
PHELPS advised our Government. in n very
able article published in Hdrper's Aiuga-inc.
to protect the fur seals from %poachers. not
only on the islands clearly under our juris-
diction but also in the open sea. INC to deal
with the consequences aftcrward. This
was manly and courageous. and would nave
brought the question at once to a head:
and although it might have resulted in war
with England. the ultimate decision could
hardly have been doubtful. But our Gov
eminent concluded to pursue a less vigor-
GUS n aggressive course. though even
that. as is now known. came dangerously
near to ending In a collision between the
naval forces OF the two nations.
In view OF the fact that Great Britain had
no direct interest in his question. but was
acting solely under the i%nstigation and in
behalf OF the Dominion Of Canada and it's
citizens engaged in the wanton destruction
Of seal life in the waters adjacent to our
possessions. it is evident that no case could
have arisen had Canada been previously
annexed to the United States. 1t is also
evident that annexation. whenever it &C.
ours. will bring all Canadian fur sealers
and fishermen, whether on the Pacific or
Atlantic. under maritime laws. and thus
put 1t clearly within the right OF our Gov
eminent to suppress and punish all their
violations Of those laws.
Should the arbitrators decide against us,
We shall probably have to pay q heavy bill
Of damages, and then perhaps the Canadian
poachers will again resume operations
and the fur seals will be speedily exter-
minated. OF course, the Tories OF Canada
will exult over us. and other exasperating
questions will arise to plague us in turn, till
they are NIL ended forever. as they must
ultimately be. by annexation. There seems
to be no other solution large enough to
cover all the difficulties. Why should we
not apply it as soon as possible. especially
as many Of our Canadian neighbors regard
it as the only panacea for other ills ex-
clusively their own?
The case Is SO clear. and tho cure 80 OBJ
vious. that only those who will not consider
1t can hesitate. BY all honorable ways, let
us then favor Continental Union as the best
possible means OF settling this as well as
all other continental questions.

On the POlygon at Ochta,

The detailed account OF the recent trial
OF ship plates in Russia shows that a great
triumph was won for the American process
OF armor making.
The wonderful results obtained at Indian
Head and Bethlehem with Harveyized
nickel-steel armor had already created a
sensation in England. and had shown that
face hardening was a necessity for the
ship plates OF the future. Capt. TREsIp-
DER Of the Royal Engineers brought out a

this arrangement was at Portsmouth about
ten weeks CO.. aboard the proving hulk
Nettle. where 1t achieved a complete sue
cess. a 1OH-inch plate breaking up five G-inch
HOLTzER and PALLIsER projectiles, with
out itself suffering a single crack. Then
a HARVEY plate was sent to the competition
to be held at Ochta.
The conditions Of this Russian trial were,
as Is known. half q dozen rounds from a
6-inch rifle, with 90-pound HoLTzER projec-
tiles and a striking velocity OF about ATS
feet per second. against plates eight feet
square and ten inches thick. This being a
far less severe test than HARVEY plates had
successfully borne on American proving
grounds. it was awaited very confidently
by the friends OF that system. The HAIR
E plate. however. was late In arriving, SO
that its four rivals had the first day all to
themselves.
or these rivals two. the CAMMELL high

former did not last through three rounds,

number OF new cotton mills and in tho mag

In order is North Carolina with sixteen new

More than One.half of all the now cotton

featuring industry in tho cotton-growing
States will be quite as gratifying to North
erncrs as to Southerncrs.
Tho new woollcn mills are mostly in New
England, the Middle States and tho West.
1t is u circumstance worth noting that
about onc-third ofthc total increase of pro-
ductive capacity In this branch Of textile
manufacturing is in Maine.
The silk industry centres Mt Paterson.
and the increase is largely in that town

Egypt Giving MIR. Gladstone Trouble


An incident took place this week at Cairo.
which. had not Lord RosEBERY been per-
mitted by Mr.. GLADSTONE to treat the
young Khedive with rigor. might have
wrecked tho Liberal Government on the re-
assembling OF Parliament.
The Khedive ABBAs suddenly dismissed
his Ministers, without obtaining the con-
sent OF his British protectors. and replaced
them with a Cabinet headed by FAKHRI
Pasha. who Is VIGOROUSLY opposed to the
English occupation OF Egypt. Lord Gro
MER. the British representative at Cairo,
finding his protest unhceded. telegraphed
the facts to London. At the Cabinet council,
which was Immediately called. n prolonged
discussion took place. but the decision ulti-
mRtely reached is plain enough from what
followed. Lord CRoMER. having received
instructions from the Foreign Office, pre-
scented an ultimatum to the Khediye, de-
manding the dismissal OF the new Ministry
In t%wenty-four hours. Thereupon, at the
Khedive's request. the Objectionable Pre-
mier. FAKHRI Pasha. resigned. and the in
cident was over.
As the present Khcdive is said to be a
young man OF more than ordinary intelli-
BcuCcs ~ 10 uoI llhely IHuI ne would nave
taken the step referred to unless he had
received assurances that he might take it
with impunity from the representatives of
France. Russia. and Turkey. all OF which
powers are. for different reasons. anxious to
expedite the British evacuation OF Egypt.
He was told that the course adopted would
cause the English to hasten their departure.
In giving such assurances these diploma
lists argued correctly from false premises.
They knew that MI. GLADSTONE had ex-
pressed the opinion that England ought to
keep the promise made to the powers and
withdraw from the Nile country now that
peace and order seem to have been re-
stored there. They also took for granted
that he would enforce his views on his Sec
rotary for Foreign Affairs. In this
assumption they were mistaken. It
was reported at the time when Mr..
GLADSTONE formed his Cabinet that
Lord RosEBERY would not accept the
Foreign Office unless a free hand were
given to him In regard to Egypt. By a free
hand he meant. OF course. permission to act
upon Lord S~ALIsBURY's conviction. which
he Is known to share. that u retention OF
the Nile land. on one plea or another. is es-
sential TO the safeguarding OF England's
communication with India.
Mr. GLADSTONE considered Lord ROSE
BERr's cooperation In tho Liberal Govern
ment Indispensable. both because. with the
exception Of Lord H~ERsoHELL. he Is the
only speaker OF ability on the Gladstonian
