by assuming that our Government would
demand actual ownership OF the whole OF
Mole st. Nicolas rs United States territory.
Nothing OF tho sort was desired at
Page Pago harbor. In the island OF
Tntuiln, where we have coaling station.
The territory romans Samoan. and the
rights of the United States Government
are enjoyed under q lease OF land. At
Pearl River harbor, in Oahu. our country
simply possesses the right to lease property
for the purposes OF coaling station. and as
a fact has never made bargain for tho land
necessary. 1t would. therefore. seem pos
siblc. difficult as the matter may be. to
make it understood in Hayti that our coun-
try does not propose to annex foot Of
Haytian territory. but simply would lease
sufficient ground for its buildings and
piers. having first acquired the right to
keep Its ships there.
The value Of Mole st. Nicolas as naval
and coaling station fully justlfles any steps
that may be taken to secure 1t. The harbor
is fine one. well sheltered from the pre-
vailing Winds and already connected with
the United States by cable. Its situation
on the Windward Passage gives 1t
strategic value greater than that of any
other point on the island. particularly when
the routes TO the Isthmus are regarded. 1t
certainly is not the only point for consider
alton. since st. Thomas would afford the
excellent harbor OF Charlotte Amalie. while
Santa Barbara on SANTANA Bay. In San Do
mingo, would yield fine and commanding
position in relation to the Mona Pass. But
tbs to Mole st. Nicolas that attention should
first be turned.

The suit of Johnny Davenport agai lst Post
master Dayton to be reinstated In the Offices
on the NTH floor Of the Federal building from
which he WAS summarily bounced by order OF
the Postmaster. was argued before Judge La
combe in the United States Circuit Court yes
terday morning. Postmaster Dayton was his
own lawyer. Davenport was represented by
United States Commissioner Deuel.. his pal.
Deuel. argued that Daven port was an officer OF
the court, and as such had right to offices In
the building.
Postmaster Dayton argued that Dayenpore
attorney practising before 1t or any United
States Com missioner. Mr. Dayton was Just In
the beginning OF his argument when Judge
claim to the Offices himself. Davenports law
yer looked aghast. and was suddenly taken
with a. serious attack OF that tired feeling.
Judge Lacombe said to Mr.. Dayton:
There at the disposal OF tho court but Jury
room for tho use OF all four parsland II two or more

ono Of those ures some part OF the court have
TO adjourn early with business unfinished. so as to

cnpatiOn OF tho court and occupied by
who ia an intruder tho court no doubt would be very
glad to cooperate with you In ousting him. and thus
secure an increase of accommodation which Is greatly
needed.
Mr.. Dayton-Then II your Honor should hold with me
you will thank for getting addition al ROOM even
though the Post ONCE be denied 1t.
Judge Lacombe reserved his decision.

We cannot approve OF the bill introduced
into the House by Mr.. GEARY Ito suspend tho
immigration into the United States Of all
aliens from whatever foreign country for q
period Of five years." the act to 20 into effect
upon It's passage. There is no necessity for q
law OF this kind. We have room for immi-
grants yet. We could take at least hun
dred thousand Of them a year for the
next hundred years. unless meanwhile. our
own population shall increase at q ratio far
higher than any ratio ever realized in past
times. 1t would be cruel to put In force O
measure like that drawn up by Mr.. GEARY II
there were the slightest chance OF its adoption,
he ought certainly to make provision that Its
execution shall be postponed for at least one
year after its passage. so that the foreign born
citizens or residents OF this country might
have time to bring over such members OF their
families yet in Europe as may desire to Join
them. Butt 1t Is not worth while to propose
amendments to a bill which cannot pass Con-
gresB
Let Mr.. GEARY. who was tho author OF the
Chinese Registration act that is giving us so
much trouble. draw up a measure that shall be
distinctive OF the immigration OF aliens, and
that shall keep out. as existing laws do not
keep out the undesirable people, Let him
think Of the advisability OF restricting the
number Of alien immigrants admissible in any
year to 100000. and making q judlcious
spportionment of that number to the various
foreign countries.

Cold Facts from q Sub-Tropical Source.

The editor Of the johannesburg Sentinel
maintains an intelligence Office in conneo-
ton with his attractive newspaper. He
tells all who contemplate removing to the
Transvaal that he will do his best to pro-
cure employment for them. They have
only to fill out a coupon. which he prints In
his newspaper. with the facts he needs for
intelligent efforts In their behalf Then he
will get them work II he can.
The popularity OF this intelligence office
annexed to newspaper Is that the editor.
while fllnging his banner to the breeze as
an employment agent. advises working
men In every part Of the world not to come
to the Transvaal. He warns them that the
chances are that they will be bitterly dis
appointed. In the same column in which
he prints his employment coupon and
his promise to do all he can for those who
immigrate. he gives this condensed and not
very rosy view OF the labor market:
