John Bull and Necker Island.

News received at Ottawa shows that the
British cruiser Champion recently left Hon
olulu for Secker Island 10 take soundings
there and to report upon the suitability of
the island as n landing place for the Pacific
telegraph cable.
AT first this might indicate that JOIN BILL
Is determined TO ignore the act Of the Ha-
waiian Government in raising its flag upon
Necker Island as a token of its sovereignty
there; but it is added that the Champion
has taken out cOcoanut seeds lat the re-
quest of the Hawaiian Government" in
order TO plant them on the island. That,
accordingly, may show that Hawaii's rights
of possession are conceded by Great Britain ;
and, II so, We must score a point for the
youngest Of the republics.
Another suggestion from this news is that
Hawaii may he willing to cede to Great
Britain either Necker Island itself or a right
to land the cab there. II unable to get "A

Whatever the plan in prospect, it is clear
that our country is left out of the account.
With a cordial welcome of Hawaii into the
Union, such as would have rejoiced the
people of the United States, a telegraph to

Secretary Gresham Has No Authority to
Oner Any sum In Settlement.

WASHINGTON, Sept. lS.-The positive state
ment attributed in az Ottawa interview to Sir
Charles II. Topper, Canadian Minister OF Fish
cries, that an offer OF s4"5. 900 had been made
by Secretary Gresham In lieu OF the claims of
Canadian sealers for damages for seizures in
Behring Sea under the moius rircndi,' II cor
rect. indicates once more the inability of even
the best Informed officials of the British prov
inces to appreciate the difference between the
methods Of government in the United States
and in Great Britain and it's colonies. As near
as can be gathered from the cautious
admissions OF State Department officials. Mr..
Gresham did convey to Sir Charles II. Upper,
during his visit Ia Washington, Just before the
the payment of a certain sum. by the United
States, which may have been Si35. 900, mixht
perhaps be regarded ~ u satisfactory settlement
of the disputed question left open by the Paris
award.
such an admission on the part Of a British
Minister would Of course he regarded as binding
on the Government. and Il would I've carried out;
but in Mr.. Grcsham's rase all he could do vas to
wait on the proper COurtesies Of Congress and
ask them tn recommend the necessary apprOpri-
alton.
Mr.. Gresham went up to the Capitol, accom-
panied by Sir Charles II. Tupper. He had in
terviews with prominent members Of both the
senate and House foreign committees, and the
any action in the matter At that session. IL Is
regarded as quite possible tl.at some recon-
mendatiOn may be- sent by the President TO Con-
gress when IL reassemhles TO pay II reasonable
sum for tanadian damages, but in the mean
time IL should he understood by Canadian

Michael Flick Will Have 10 Answer for The
Death Of John Page.
EVIDENCE Was ALL AGAINST Him
Several Witnesses Testify That They
Saw Flick Strike Page with His Fist,
and He is Held by Judge Gunster in
Twenty-Five Hundred Dollars Bail.

Michael Flick, of Mayfeld, was be-
fore Alderman Wright yesterday on
the charge of murder. Flick is accused
of beating John Page over the head
with stick and then leaving him in a
coal shnnty, exposed to the wind and
rain, from the effects of which Page
died. This occurred in Mayiold 'on
Christmas night.
John. Lowry testified that he saw
Flick strike Page and afterwards hit
him with stone. Theodore Wacana
testified to finding Page lying in his
coal shanty at o'clock on the morning
of Dec. 20, He had the man taken into
his house whore he would be warm.
His shoes were frozen to his feet. Page
told him he had cut his head by falling
from train of cars.
DIR. Scanlon, who attended Page de-
scribed the wound as being cash in
the scalp about three inches long. He
felt unler the scalp. but could find no
fracture. The wound had evidently
been inflicted by sharp instrument
and with the exposure which Page was
subjected to, would have tendency to
produce death.
STRUCK PAGE WITHOUT PRovocATIoN.
Michael Danio stated that Page ha d
come to his hou'e Christmas night an d
asked for food. Michael Flick had come
in few minutes later and without
provocation struck Page with his fist
twice. The witness then held FicR
until Page got out OF the house
Later he heard cries out in the street
and when he went out Eaw Flick strik-
ing Page with stick. Danio's wife
corroborated his testimony except the
latter part.
George aSewenski who boards iwitf
Danio also saw Flick striking Page with
a stick and saw Page run away. When
Flick was asked why he nit Page. he re.
piled that Page came around at night
and stole from the houses.
The alderman decided that Ficl
should be held and had him taken be-
fore Judge Gunster, who held him il
bail in the sum of So, 800 to appear a
court. Bail was furnished.
