that the children will give nice en-

further them.

whispered here that arms will be shipped on

that the arms will be transferred off the Gem

1t is slso rumored that Monsonto a promi-

going to Jamaica to negotiate a sale of arms
with Legitime. Monsonto is now in Panama and
will sail for jamaica Friday. The enemies
of President Hippolyte claim that they are not

antagonists Of HIppolyte in Hayti needs is a
reliable leader, and is reported that Menigat
has been invited to proceed to Hayti to organize

Hippolyte's enemies also assert that the var

ripe for revolution, and they say that mer-
chants Of Port au Prince are willing to furnish
finances for an insurrection, provided Menigat
or some other reliable exile will assume the
leadership.
Meantime Hippolyte continues in power and
seems to be more firmly established than ever,
while his severity in dealing with rebels has in
spired caution on the part Of those inclined

Neither one OF the national committees nor

while to eend on. any instructions about the
way OF delivering the electoral vote Of the
states. Nobody seemed to think it essential
that should come to Washington by any pre-

MIR. COLES SUCCESSOR,
Several Gentlemen Suggested as the Next
District Attorney.

Several Gentlemen Suggested as the Next
District Attorney.
The confirmation of District Attorney Cole
as associate justice of the Supreme Court Of
the District has aroused considerable interest
as to his successor. Mr.. Cole will not take his
seat, Of course, until his successor is confirmed
and in no event until after the conclu-
sion OF the hearing to the mental
condition of Howard J. Schneider, whic
will be begun tomorrow morning. and which,
1t is expected, will continue for at least a week
1t seems that Mr.. A. A. Birney is the man most
likely TO succeed District ATTORNEY Cole. Mr.
Birney, it will be remembered, was Capt. Coles
most formidable competitor for the position and
it seems to be the impression Of those best in
formed in the matter that Mr.. Birney will re-
ceive the appointment. 1t is said that the
President will make the nomination in day or
two. in order that the new judge may take his
seat Immediately upon the confirmation, which,
it is expected, will follow in a weeks time.
Mr.. Hugh 7. Taggart, District Attorney
Coles assistant in the Office, is also prominently
mentioned for the place. 1t is understood that
Mr.. Taggart is democrat, but not a very &C.
tive politician. 1t is not believed, however,
that the President will appoint a demo-
crat. Mr.. Fred d. Mckinney. promi-
nent young attorney, is also mentioned as a
possible appointee. 1t is thought by some that
should the President finally decide to select a
democrat who would be agreeable to the
coming administration that he would send IN
the name of Mr.. x. Ross Perry.

ADMIRAL BELkNAP.s VIEW.
Tho United States Should Take HAWAI-
Even at Hazard OF War.

Tho United States should Take Hawaii
Even ut Hazard OF War.
Boston, Jan. 31.-In a statement furnished
to the press relative to the Hawaiian question
Rear Admiral George E. Belknap of Brooklyn
(retired) says:
ITO the people Of the United States the pres
ent situation is Of momentous interest and of
vital importance. Indeed, it would seem that
nature has established that group to be ulti-
mately occupied as an outpost, as it were, for
the great republic on its western border, and
that the time had come for the fulfllment OF
such design.
The group now seeks annexation to the
United States. The contamination Of such
wish would inure to the benefit Of both peo-
pies. commercially and politically.
Annex the islands, constitute them terri
tory, and reciprocal trade will double within
twenty years.
LET the islanders feel that they are once and
forever under the folds of the American flag as
part and parcel Of the great republic and de-
velopment will at once take place in the group
that will at once surprise its people and the
world.
mot to take the fruit within our grasp and
annex the group now begging US to take it
would be folly indeed. a mistake of the gravest
nature. both for the statesmen Of the day and
for the men among us Of high commercial
views and great enterprise.
Let the British lion once get its paws upon
the group and Honolulu would soon become one
Of the most important strongho!ds of Great
Britain's power. Great Britain will undoubt-
eddy propose joint arrangement for the gov
eminent of the islands but we want none of
that. No entangling alliances; We have had
enough of that business at Samoa.
I'VE want no joint protectorate, no occupa-
ton there by any European power, no Pacific
Egypt. We need the group part and parcel
OF the United States. and should take what is
offered us, even at the hazard of war;"
