An Important Inlet.

There is a part Of Alaska far more valu-
able than Mount Elias to both of the par
ties by whom it is claimed. Before the re-
cent survey Of the boundary by the Ameri-
can and Canadian Commissions, it had been
head Of the Chilkoot Inlet was United States
territory; but we learn that England has
laid claim to it as a part Of Canada, under
that survey. The Importance of the head of
the inlet arises from the fact that it consti-
tutes an excellent harbor which may be
highly useful to the party holding it, and it
is greatly desired by Canada for both COM
mercial and defensive purposes. II 1t be
conceded to Canada, England will establish
a naval coaling station there, and we GER
tainly have a right to a an interest in a
project of that kind. 1t would be a good
thing for England to have such a station
there, and possibly it would also be a good
thing for us to have one. 1t might be worth
a great deal more some time than all the
range of Mount Elias, which looms up not
far from the inlet.
The claims of both England and the
continent nave been defined by the survey
Of this year; but these claims ave not been
finally settled, and are yet to be the subject
of diplomatic negotiation. II the head of
the Chilkoot Inlet is properly a part of our
purchase from Russia, it ought not TO be,
and it must not be, surrendered to England
by the United States.
The naval stations of England on this side
of the sea, from Halifax to Bermuda, and
on the Pacific at Esquimalt, are certainly
already sufficiently numerous, so far as we
are concerned.

When the many thousands of tailors of
the east side sweat shops were on strike four
months ago, vi took occasion to cOmmend them
for their peacefulness and also for their stead
fast devotion 10 their religious duties in the
synagogue. We regret that we cannot speak
that way about the many thousands OF east side
cloaklnakers, men and women, who have been
on strike for over five weeks and are yet
out Many are the brOils In which they have
been engaged. Too many OF them have been ar
rested for assaulting the nOn-unionists who have
taken their places The most curious thing Is
that most Of the asssilants have been women.
The nature of their assaults, too, is rather
strange, and Unfamiliar here. They pull the
boards Of their enemies, or strike them with
sticks, or tear their clothes, or throw stones at
them. or spit In their faces. or push them hither

was that the buildings at Qua, in the island
OF Ponape, had been destroyed by her troops,
not wantonly, but in the course Of putting
down a rebellion Of the natives. These lat
ter had built their intrenchments close up
TO the buildings, after their occupants had
abandoned them, having received warning
Of the bombarlment from the Spanish au-
thorities, so that the Smelling and burning
OF the structures must be regarded as a
military necessity, 10 prevent them from
becoming a shelter for the rebels.
There was plenty Of evidence, however,
to show the i'll will Of the Spanish au-
thorities and Spanish troops for the
Americans. In the rivalry between the
latter n the Spanish missionaries the
natives sympathized largely with our coun-
trymen. That was natural, since the
American teachers had been In the Carolines
for many years, and had not interfered with
the freedom Of the people, nor sought to
put a foreign yoke upon them. But when
Spain, after her quarrel with Germany over
the ownership Of the islands, which Pope
LEO, rs arbiter, decided in her favor, es-
tablished a Governor and a garrison at
Ponape, taxes, restraints, and compulsory
labor quickly followed.
But this preference of the natives for the
Americans over the Spanish did not justify
the latter in imputing the revolt to secret
encouragement by our co%untrymen. II is
true that the islanders were indignant at
the i'll treatment Of the missionaries, and it
Is said that the arrest Of one Of them was
the primary cause of the outbreak. But in
the facts Of Spanish rule itself an adequate
explanation Of the rebellion seems to be
furnished, and IL is known that the mission
aries exerted themselves successfully to
protect some Of the Spaniards when the
people revolted. The proof OF luminosity on
the part of the Spanish troops toward the
missionaries has a bearing on the destruc-
ton of the property of the latter and on
the indignities Of which they complained.
While pecuniary indemnity has now at
last been furnished to the Americans, the
mission at Ponape has not been restored,
and Spain In the negotiations, IL is under
stood, strongly objected to its restoration.
declared that il would be against her
laws, and n further provocation to revolt.
1t has been asserted that Mr.. BAYARD, on
the Pope's decision that the Carolines be-
longed to Spain, notified that country Of our
expectation that the existing status and the
rights of American missionaries in the
islands woulds be respected. It happened,
however, that when their buildings were
burned, the missionaries. in order to avoid
trouble, gathering up the remainder of their
property, left Ponape for Strong's
Island, one of their stations some distance
This withdrawal was made on the
cruiser Alliance, which had been
sent to their assistance. Thus the result is
that, while money has been paid for the
destroyed, the American mission
has been wiped out, and the natives no
have the aid and counsel OF those
whom they looked upon as benefactors.

cites. each with a distinction Of it's own, and
all remarkable as an illustration of the power
Of man over the beasts Of the field TO in.
huence their development.
A large part Of the horses exhibited at
Madison Square Garden are not beasts Of
burden ut all. They are purely creatures
Of luxury, modified in their capacities and
aptitudes &c suit luxurious tastes or to
furnish amusement for ~the>public; but even
these are useful to the whole equine breed as
encouraging and pointing the way to the
higher and more useful evolution and
development Of the rest rs beasts useful
to man as assistants in his labors.
Every second taken of the speed Of
the horse is a benefit TO all the equine fam
lily, and consequently TO civilization. Every
improvement OF the quality of n single va
riety cnnduces to the advantage Of every
other. IL proves anew how great and almost
limitless are the possibilities OF scientific
breeding of animals, among which, as we
have said, the human might be included.
As this improvement has been carried TO n
higher perfection, and Of recent years more
particularly, the cost Of horses generally has
decreased rather than advanced. A man can
now buy a fine horse. well bred, handsome,
and sound, for a price which formerly
he would have had to pay for an
inferior beast. The very highest type
Of horse, in which the most brilliant
results Of scientific breeiing are mani
tested, will, of course, he like the diamond,
a costly rarity but already, as the livery
stables bear witness. horses which once
would have been esteemed Of an unusual
excellence, that made their purchase pos
sible for the private stables of the rich
only, are now within the reach of the run
of horse buyers. The substitution of steam
and electric power and Of cables for trans
portation, and the introduction Of the bicy-
Gle are depriving horses Of occupations to
which they were accustomed, to IN extent
so great and wide that their salable value
has declined, and ordinary horse raising is
not so profitable as 1t was. Out in the Far
West where the vast horse farms are, some
talk about slaughtering them for food has
been lately reported-a horrible possibility,
but, happily, not a present and hardly a
future probability. However, science has
been able to modify the horse almost at will,
but 1t will never succeed in providing a
substitute for the artificial animal
of its creation, and which it has made far
more useful to man by the process.
The Horse Show proves that the horse has
a great future, in which more than ever its
will be protected by the affection
and admiration of all mankind.

The Horse Show.

The Horse Show Is again the crowning
event Of the years round OF amusements
and spectacles. 1t appeals to popular and
fashionable interests no less powerful
ly than in the past years Of its SUI
premacy As the capital show offered
by New York. As before, the hotels are
filled with strangers attracted hither
solely by its occurrence. For the time be-
ing the horse is master Of the situation. The
talk Of the town is horsey, and In the shops
the most conspicuous display for the allure
ment OF purchasers is of vehicles and nipple
ments OF the stable, the road. and the chase,
or OF trinkets symbolical of equestrianship.
A recent English magazine writer makes
q whimsical plea for greater justice to the
brutes impressed into the service OF man,
on the ground that their natural develop
ment, their tastes, desires, and individuality
are now ignored by t~yrannical masters. He
contends more particularly for the rights OF
the horse to pursue its natural bent as a
creature not less entitled than human beings
20 be free from subsection TO the ar
hitrary interference and contradiction
of wills outside its own. He goes
in for the emancipation OF the horse
from his longtime slavery. But there is no
beast on the earth which has so much prof
tied by this human restraint aud shaping.
The horse of to-day is an artificial creature,
changed very radically from It's original
character by the force of human effort ex-
pended In opposition to the course of its
natural development; and the more art!-
fetal It has become the happier is its lot.
Horses generally are far better treated than
the run OF human beings; and II the princi-
Piles which, as applied to their breeding,
have produced in them so great a trans
formation, could also he applied TO the
breeding OF men and women, the most poetic
dream OF the perfect development Of society
would be on the way of realization.
IL Is this triumph of human science and
ingenuity in eivilizing the horse aud modify
lug and tranSfOrmingits natural Characters
ties ard a~ptitudes, after hundreds OF years Of
experimenting with the artificial methods,
which has msds the Horse Show possible and
created the universal interest in the exbibi
tion. One original type has been varied by
such msAhs until now there are many yari-

The Chicago Strike Commission.

The Commissioners appointed by Presi.
dent CLEVELAND, last July, to investigate
the Chicago railroad strike, have finally
made their report, the most important parts
Of which we print elsewhere in to-day's Sun.
The President confined the inquiry au-
thorized by him strictly to controversies
between the Illinois Central Railroad Com
pany and the Chicago, Rock Island and
Pacific Railroad Company, two corporations
engaged in the transportation of property
and passengers between two or more States
Of the United States, and certain of their
employees" This instruction the Commits
sioners construed to include the strike at
Pullman, ILL.,, against the Pullman Car
Company, a corporation which, though not
" engaged In the transportation of property
and passengers between two or more States
Of the United States" yet employed work
men who were members of the organization
engaged in striking against the two railroad
corporations named in the commission.
The Commissioners have brought out no
facts with which the public have not long
been familiar, and their summary of the
evidence they took presents nothing of
special interest. The conclusions at which
they arrive and the recommendations which
they make are all that deserves considera-
ton. or these conclusions and omm
dations the single one Of importance is that in
which compulsory arbitration is advocated.
The Commissioner would have a permanent
United States Strike Commission Of three
members created, with duties and powers of
investigation and recommendation as TO
disputes between railroad companies and
their employees, similar to those vested in
the Interstate Commerce Commission
and, as in the Interstate Commerce
act, they would give power to the United
States courts to compel railroad COM
panies to obey the decisions of the Commits
sion after summary hearing. unattended by
technicalities, no delays in obeying the de-
cisions OF the Commission to be allowed
pending appeals. When it comes, however,
TO enforcing the decisions of such a Commits
sion against employees, a different view is
taken. "Coercing employees to obey tribu-
nails in selling. their labor" it is declared,
" would be a dangerous encroachment upon
the inherent, inalienable right to work or
quit as they p~lease''l
The bare statement Of this proposed rem
edy for strikes demonstrates it's %futility. A
controversy between employer and EN-
ployee can be settled neither Justly nor
peaceably by any proceeding which shall
bind the one to abide by its result, and leave
the other free TO obey or not, as he pleases.

FROM THE HERMIT KINGDoM.


SEOUL, Cores. Sept. 20.
Ihave yours Of Aug. 18. with the cutting from
THE Sun. II is refreshing TO hear from some
one who can grasp the situation. The ignorance
our people display Of any place but their own
locality. is astonishing.
On Sept. is 20, 1000 Japs attacked the walled city
Peng-An, where 90, 1000 Chinese troops had been
for over q month. The Japs took the place In
twenty-four hours, with little loss to themselves
and great loss to the Chinese.
On the 18th the Japanese feet Of ten
vessels and q despatch boat, met the Chinese
fleet midway between the mouth of the Yalu
and Port Arthur. The Chinese feet con-
sisted Of fourteen vessels and six tor
pedo- boats. The fight lasted FIVE hours.
The Japs sunk the belted cruiser Hei Yuen, the
steel cruiser Chin Yuen, the Armstrong cruisers
Chao Yung and Yang Chei: also the Ting Yuen
flagship was badly disabled. the z, S00-ton Ping
Yuen. had her magazine exploded, and the
belted cruiser King ,Yuen was burned. They
now claim the last three were unable TO get
away and finally sunk: though as they were pro
TO them. The Japs had the despatch boat Saihie
missing. the flagship Matsushima injured In her
,barbettes. the Hei Yei perforated. The Atsagi
lost a mast.
This is the Official report. The English, ON no
authority. deny the whole thing. Tho English
are violently and extensively anti-Japanese. We
are neutral. but our sympathies are with Japan.
Each legation here has q marine guard, and
we now think there will be little more fighting
in this region. II the Japs don't tire out too
soon, they will probably succeed.
