OPPOSE ANNEXATION.

The Com mtttee on Foreign Relations
Report Against Hawaiian Anne1a-
tion-A Resolution introduced In
the House to the Same Ehect.
WARRINGTON, Jan. 23.-The attendance
of senators at the opening of todsy's ses-
sion was larger than usual, both political
parties being pretty equally represented.
Mr.. Turpie, dem, Of Indiana, reported
from the committee on foreign relations
the following resolution:
Resolved, That from the facts aud
papers laid bsfore the .enate, 1t is unwise
aud inexpsdient, under existing con-
ditions, to consider at this time any prof
cot of annexation of the Hawaiian ter
ritory to the United States; that the pro-
visional government therein, having been
duly recognized, the highsst international
interests require that 1t pursue its own line
of policy; foreign Intervention In the polit-
ical affairs of the islands will be regarded
as an act unfriendly to the government of
the United States"
After q brief discussion the resolution
went over until tomorrow and Was ordered
to be printed.

EERRERIS CRIME

The crime with which Anthony Fer
rer stands charged is one of a class
that are becoming very frequent in
this country. We say becoming, be-
cause. while the American people have
always been possessed of the underly-
ing impulses of human nature they
have ia recent years exhibited de-
cidsdly increasing prevalence Of that
mild mania or mental disease which,
ordinarily spoken of as harmless, rs
liable at any time, under the impulse
Of the moment, to culminate in trage-
dy that excitts universal oondemna-
tion. Penologists aud philosophers
differ as to the causes OF this growing
percentage, and the present crime
throws little new light on the subject
It is enough for present purposes to
know that Ferrer ls safe in the custody
of law which will mete out to him,
in the ordinary processes Of our courts,
impartial and comprehensive justice.
Society has right to manifest and to
expect no leniency in the treatment of
criminals subject to ebullitions OF
murderous hate and bloodthirsty
frenzy. 1t has a supreme right to self
protection from this class, whether it
be by immediate personal retaliation,
by long sentence Of imprisonment or
by such philanthropic measures as will
be admittedly eficacious. 1t has only
this one thing to guard, further than
the immediate protection of life and
property; it has to prevent the instinct
of preservation from taking lawless
and chaotic form, instead of obsying
the orderly processes upon which so
ciety's own ultimate maintenance il
inevitably conditioned.
1t ia to the credit of the citizens of
Scranton, that even under u tempta-
tion which was extraordinary, they
did not yield to the mob impulse and
add to Farrer's crime another which,
however natural in moments Of
strongly aroused passion, would still
have been q second and greater
crime. 1t is to the credit Of the au-
thoritiss that, within a few moments
following the sensational shooting, oul
citizens had resumed their normal aD.
psarance and conduct. and the law,
through It's properly constituted
agents, had moved without fault oil
friction toward its duty in the prem
ises There is reason to give that law
and those agents further confidence.
They must fail us seriously and Otter
before we shall be justified in making
tempestuous condemnation.

YEARS CALAMITY oE FIRE

The New York Commercial Bulletin
finds that the FIRE losses in the United
States and Canada the past year ag.
grsgats one hundred and fifty six mil {.
lion. four hundred and forty.fve thous-
and, eight hundred and seventy. five.
against one hundred and thirty two
million. seven hundred and four thous-
and, seven hundred in 1892, and one
hundred and thirty-sevsn million, seven
hundred and sixteen thousand, one
hundred and fifty in 1890. The figures
of 1891 were Of almost unprecedented
proportions. They stirred the insur.

the enormous waste which was thus
being inflicted on the country. Bat
the next year saw ouly small rsduc.

ures mount up to much higher terms.
1t has been ct once estimated that
the panic and business depression arc
responsible for the large gain in losses
in 1s92--increasing what the under
writers call the moral hazard Of the

business from causes which everybody
understands. But the Bullstins .com-
parlson by months shows that such has
not materially been the case The
panic and depression were confined
mainly to the last six months of the
year; and during this time the fire
losses aggregated only seventy million
dollars against some eighty-six million
dollars in the frat six months More
over, the losses of the last half OF 1898
exceeded the record for the same pc.
riod of 1891 and OF 1892 by only two or
three millions.
While this is Of course very gratify-
ing, we have yet to face the more seri-
ous fact that losses from fires in the
United States are increasing at Il much
more rapid rate than population or
property growth would Justify. even
on the basis of no particular improve
ment in building, construction and fire
fighting appliances. 1t is such an in

measure this annual sweep of the
flames through the costly works OF hu-
man skill and labor and selt'denial is
not only national calamity, bnt is be
coming q national disgrace.
