American and Central American

American and Central American
nationalities sixty years ago.
While we claim our rights in the
Pacific We must accept our respon-
sibilities. Recent events in Hawaii
make Unnecessary for us to consider
the duty of drawing the Sandwich
Islands towards the United States
by ties more tangible than those
existing. We have reciprocity, and
We do not care for annexation so
long as a protectorate is not men
aced. But we must always remem-
Der that Hawaii is the American
Malta, and to be defended as reso-
lutely as Pitt defended the Malta
of the Mediterranean. To make
this duty easier we should lay q
cable between San Francisco and
Honolulu. Private enterprise may
do it, but if that should hesitate
we have a surplus in the treasury
which keeps our statesmen in
state of anxiety to know how to
spend it. a fraction of that sur
plus would give US another strand
in the ties which must forever bind
the Sandwich Islands to the United
States.
This is a question of statesman
ship, not politics-something that
does not belong to party, but to
higher and purer range of discus
sion-and behind it lie other duties,
which sooner or later must come,
in the development of that splendid
destiny to which we have been ap-
pointed by Providence. The con-
temptation of this destiny may
employ the higher faculties of
thinkers and statesmen. They
must look to the day when "Civis
Americans sum will be the pass
word in Australian seas; when re-
representatives. from Australia, the
Sandwich Islands, and Japan,
and those fair islands, and
archipelagoes which are only
known to US in romance and ad-
venture, lowered by an all-fruitful
sun and washed by teeming, tenn
perate seas, must take part with
US in that coming Parliament
whose deliberations will sway the
destinie8 of mankind. We owe the
protection of Hawaii = the
strengthening of the links which
bind her to the Republicans our
immediate contribution to the
magnificent career awaiting the
Anglo-Saxon race. To throw it
away, to shrink from the duties
which it implies-duties incum-
bent today and not for tomorrow
would be as foolish as it would
have been for Jefferson to throw
away our trans-Mississippi empire
when the chance for obtaining it
came with the rupture of the treaty
Of Amiens.
Much is said to Mr.. Cleveland
about following the policy of Jack
son in the dismissal of tidewaiters
and excisemen. We shall be con-
tent if he follows the policy of JEFF
ferson, a policy which without fir
ing a single gun in anger gave US
an empire IN. Y. Herald, Au-

Important Patent Decision by
the Highest Court OF the
Land.
Under 1t the Telephone Monopoly
Has But Few Months of
Life.

WASHINGTON. March 81. = The SUI
preme court of the United States today
affirmed the decision of the lower court
/, in the case of Henry Huber ct al. vs.
the n. o. Nelson Mining Company, ap-
pealed from the circuit court for the
Eastern district of Missouri. The opinion
was delivered by Justice Blatchford,
who, in announcing it, reviewed briefly
the facts in the case. These were
that a patent for all improvement
in water closets was issued April
z. 1874, in Great Britain, to the
patentees, who assigned to James E.
Boyle. The pate was to run for four
teen years, with a prOysO that IL
(, stamp duty of Z 90 was not paid within
seven years of date of issue, the patent
would at the expiration of that term
become void. Application for patent
in the United States under the assign
ment was made Nov. 20. 1881, and the
patent granted June 81, 1882. Boyle
then assigned to Huber. The 9l00
stamp duty was not paid i'll Great Brit
ain within the time required; the patent
therefore became void April Z. 1881.
Under these facts the circuit court held
that the patent granted in the United
States was void, because it was granted
after the British patent had ceased to
exist, and decision was today affirmed
by the supreme court. A most important
result OF this decision is called
to public attention by the chief officials
of the patent Office. In the Huber case
(as above reported) the court decided
that foreign patent having lapsed, by
reason Of non-payment Of taxes, an Am.
erican patent granted thereafter for the
same invention is void. This action, it
is said at the patent office, destroys Edi-
sons quadrupleX telegraph patent, and
also his three micr0phone patents, leav-

PREPARING FOR RHODES.
Two Bills Amending the Penal
Laws of the State,

Senator Donnelly introduced two inn
portant bills in the senate yesterday,
and they were referred to the judiciary
committee. They both relate to the
trial of criminal cases In district courts.
One gives the defendant the right of
twenty peremptory challenges OF jury
men, while the states limit shall be
nlne; and in all trials for other offenses
the right shall be confined TO five each.
The other bill fXss the order of algu-
ment by attorneys to juries in closing
criminal cases. The plaintiff shall begin
and the defendant close.
The bills were drafted by the attorney
general, and they were conceived by the
eXigencieS that have arisen through the
coal combine investigation. The object
is to increase the peremptory challenge
rights OH the part of the state, to the
end that good jury may tie empaneled.
The law now gives two challenges, and
the act increases to five. In murder
cases the state has seven challenges,
and this is increased TO nine.
AS is explained in another column,
these bills will have to be reintroduced
at the request of the governor.

His Resignation Asked for

Papers Containing Charges

Democrats OF Minnesota in
Washington Favor Loch-

WASHINGTON, March 27.-Dr. F. o
st. Clair, for more than twenty-seven
years head of the consular bureau in the
state department, has been removed.
Late Saturday afternoon Secretary
Gresham sent a note to DR.. st. Clair
notifying him that he desired him to
tender his resignation at once, and
further that his assistant, W. G. Faison,
of North Carolina, had already been
appointed his successor, and would as
sumo the duties of the Office. This was
naturally surprise to DR.. ST. Clair, who
had never before dreamed that his Of
fetal conduct had been called into Ques-
ton. He sought an eXplana-
ton from the secretary. The
latter-iS said to have told him that he
had been guilty of holding back Off cial
papers on the score that they were per-
Sonal letters, and for this OffenSe his
resignation was requested. These
papers, it is said, contained charges
against certain United States consul
in Germany, and instead of being treated
as private by DR.. st. Clair they should
have been sent in their regular depart
mental round. DR.. st. Clair produced
the letters in question, which he claimed
to be his private correspondence, but he
did not succeed in convincing the sec
retary that they were other that official
papers. or that he had not been guilty
of breach of official etiq uette.

Eight of these vacancies were
made by designations, and fourteen
Republicans who were unwilling to let

on the charge Of perjury, made relative
to his testifying before the legislative
committee. The warrant was sworn
out by Richard A. Walsh, the man who
introduced the resolution for an in
vestigation in the legislature, and who
has been at the front of the movement
to investigate the combine. The COM
plant was made before j. j. Ahern,
clerk of the municipal court, who issued
the warrant returnable forthwith in the
municipal court. Mr.. Rhodes learned
that the warrant was out, and. hasten
ing to the law office of G.. d. & I. D.
O'Brien, held a consultation, and, in
company with Thomas D. O'Brien,
went to the chambers Of Judge
Cory, of the mulcipal court,
and asked leave to give bail.
The county attorney was called in and
several others were attracted as spec
tators. Mr. Rhodes said that he would
waive examination and give bonds to
await the action of the grand jury,
WHICH UlSGIS IIlC lllSI NhOlihoy Ill nay
Judge Cory fixed the amount of bail at
$4,000. This was satisfactory, and the
bail was given at once, with E. II.
Bailey, cashier of the First National
band, and G. j. A. Morris. civil en-
gineer. as sureties. Mr.. Rhodes then
departed. Mr.. O'Brien said afterwards
that the bond would have been forth
coming if it had been S500,000. The
bond is as small as it could well be, as
the penalty for perjury is five years in
the penltentiary.
The warrant for arrest is lengthy

legislature relative to investigating the

KNIGHTS TAKE A HAND,
Powderly's Men Will Help Out the
Clothing Manufacturers
Association.
They Swear They VIII Get Even
for the Trouble at Roch-
ester.

NEW YORK, March 27.-There was
every indication this morning that the
fight between the United Garment Cut
ters and the clothing association would
involve the entire clothing trade. This
would ultimately throw about 10000
men out of work. Neither side showed
the slightest signs of yielding. and the
Knights of Labor have entered the coll
test on the side of the clothing associ-
alton. James A. Wright. of Philadel-
phia, a member of the national eXecu-
tive board of the Knights of Labor, to-
day said:
1--WE intend to retaliate on the cutters
for the manner in which they treated US
in Rochester two years ago, when they
filled our mems positions with their
men. We intend to assist the assOci-
alton in every way, and we can supply
them with all the men they require"
The garment workers admit that 1000
of their men have been locked out, and
they have decided to make the issue a
national one. The knights of Labor
are determined to wipe out of existence
the local federation. Mr.. POwderly has
arrived here. The garment workers
will make general boycott throughout
the country against the products of the
clothing manufacturers association.
Boston, March 27.-Three hundred
plasterers,, tenders employed by the
contracting plasterers struck work to-
day. The men want nine hours pay for
eight hours work. The journeymen
plasterers say they will strike also if
non-u&ion tenders are put to work. The
long threatened strike of 500 carriage
and wagon workers of this city for a
nine hours day with ten hours pay was
formally Inaugurated today.
PITTsBURG, March q. = The great
strike of the Monongahela valley coal
miners has practically ended and before
the end of the week it is probable that
all of the 1000 old men will be back TO
work. Fully 5000 strikers returned to
the mines today in the second and
fourth pools and the third pool men
have also weakened.

STILL A SECRET.
Injunction of Secrecy on the
Treaty With Russia Not Re-
leased

Injunction of Secrecy on the
Treaty With Russia Not Re-
leased.
WASHINGTON, March 27.-The senate
Wss in executive session this afternoon
for upwards of an hour, and the greater
part of that time was consumed in a
discussion relative to the release of the
injunction of secrecy on the treaty with
Russia that was recently ratified by the
senate. The injunction was not, how
ever, released, although the majority
of the senate is in favor Of it, and the
proposition also meets with the approval
of the state department. The sticking
point is, just what amount of the
correspondence shall be made public,
and the vote by which the treaty
was ratified. 1t is understood that the
state department is averse to, giving
out certain parts of the correspondence,
and that until some agreement upon
this point can be reached the text of
the treaty will not be given to the pub
lie. Despite the fact that the treaty has
been ratified great tmanyremonstrances
have been received, principally from
Polish residents of this country, all of
which have been referred to the COM
TDlIlGG
the act of ratification has taken place it
is still possible for the treaty to be kept
from becoming operative by the inter-
VentIon of the executive. and it is said
that steps looking to this end have been
taken by the opponents of the agree
ment between the two powers.
But three nominations apparently
were confirmed today. This is not liter
ally true. 1t is is said upon good DEM
ocratic authority that all the nomina-
tions sent in by the president for I'M
Dortant offices up to date. exclusive of
those sent today, have been faVOrably
acted upon. Under the rules, unless
motion to Immediately notify the pTesi-
dent is carried, these combinations lie
on the table for two consecutive eXecu-
tive sessions in order that motion to
reconsider may be made, if any one
desires so to do. For that reason, al
though the senate has acted upon the
nominations before it, the fact has not
been made public.
Towards the close of the session Mr..
Sherman, chairman of the Republican
caucus, notified the Democrats of the
action taken by them on the subject of
reorganization of the elective officers of
the senate, which was to the effect that
the Republicans would accept no COM
promise. Mr.. German replied quietly,
saying that he thought the REPUBLICANS
should accept the compromise that had
been suggested, and before any discus
sion could arise, if there had been any
disposition to talk, he made motion to
adjourn, and the executive session was
ended.

A MAMMOTH TUMOR.
When Removed 1t Pulled Down

When Removed 1t Pulled Down
the Scales at 100 Pounds.
PIrTsBURG, March 27.-One of the
most remarkable and difficult opera
tions the medical profession has ever
known occurred yesterday at the Ale
gheny general hospital. 1t was the re-
mOval of an ovarin tumor weighing 120
pounds. The patient was Mrs. Brush,
wife of Albert J. Brush, clerk to
Coroner II. Mcdowell, and the operator
was DR.. r. Stanbury Sutton. Mrs. Brush
was resting very easy this evening,
and her chances for recovery are
good. This is probably the largest
tumOr that has ever been removed from
a living person. and the operation was
also one of the quickest on record, as it
only required forty-tiYe minutes to re-
move the tumor. The medic al records
show that the largest ever taken from
person previous to this occurred at Edin
burgh. Scotland, where one weighing
1l2 pounds was removed from corpse.
Mrs. Brush has been suffering from the
tumor for several years, and the opera
ton was made to save the patients life.
The tumor measured five feet and five
inches in circumference, and the pa
tient only weighed siXty-tVe pounds
after the operation.

HOPING FOR LOCHREN.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON. March %. - Every
Minnesotan in Washington, regardless
of politics, has been hoping of the ap-
pointment of Judge I4ochren as COM
missioner of PENSIONS" said Congress
man Baldwin today, when he was told
that it had been intimated in Wash
ington special to a Northwestern paper
that there are some Democrats in the
national capitol opposed to Judge
Lochren for this important position.
''Such statement is without fOunda-
ton and simply malicious" he cOntin-
ued. II have never known man to
receive stronger support or such gen.
eral Endorsement as has been given
Judge Lochren by Democrats and Re
publicans ali6e.- All concede his pre-
eminent fitness for the place, and hope
he may see his way clear to accept if
the appointment has been rendered him
by the president"
The fact that the president did not
send in the name of Gen. Ricketts,, of
PENNSYLVANIA, for commissioner of pen
sions today, leads the friends of Judge
Lochren to believe that Mr.. Cleveland
has not yet given up the idea of sup
porting the Minneapolis juriSt, and that
the delay means that an effort is to be
made to induce him to accept.
Congressman Hall laughed at the idea
that any Minnesotlan would think OF
opposing Judge Lochren. 'It is alb
surd,' u he said. "He is the man for the
place above all others hope will ac-
cept."
