Ex-senator Edmunds of Vermont,
who is the author of the amend
ment to the Hawaiian reciprocity
treaty by which the United States
acquired Pearl River harbor as a
coaling station, to-day gave an in
terview upon the rights OF the
United States to that station. He
said
g am sorry to see that Senator
Lodge appears from newspaper re-
ports to be under the impression
that the grant of Pearl River har-
Dor by the Hawaiian government
to the United States was limited
only to seven years, during which
Hawaiian sugar, ETC., were to be in
PRODUCED into the United States
duty free. And l am surprised at
what is reported to be the conten-
ton of President Dole to the same
effect. [ regret that proceedings OF
the Senate in considering and rati
flying the last convention with Ha-
wall have not been made public,
but without violating any duty of
confidence | can say that the con-
vention was agreed upon between
Mr.. Frelinghuysen and Mr.. Carter,
the Hawaiian minister, on Deem
Der 6, 1884, and soon afterward sent
to the Senate for consideration.
The Senate did not advise the rati-
fication until January 20, 1887.
Evidently there was difficulty in
the Senate in respect of allowing
further introduction of free sugar,
and that at last, for some reason
which l am not at liberty to state
the details of, the Senate agreed to
ratify, with one most important
additional clause, which appears as
Article of the convention, as pub
lished in the statutes. That article
is in these words:
ellis majesty, the King of the
Hawaiian Islands, grants to the
government of the United States
the exclusive right to enter Pearl
river, in the Island of Oahu, and to
establish and maintain there coal
ing and repair station for the use of
vessels of the United States, and to
that end the United States may i'm
prove the entrance to said harbor,
and do all other things needful to
the purpose aforesaid

HAWAIIAN MATTERS.

Rear Admiral J. G.. Walker, U.
S. N, is on board the Gaelic to
succeed Rear Admiral Irwin and is
supposed to be entrusted with an
important secret mission from Pres
ident Cleveland. This is said to
be to treat with the eX-Queen and
get her to relinquish her claims
and those of her dynasty for a pen
sion of $4,000 a year. In con-
nection with this negotiations are
to be opened with President Dole's
Government looking toward annex
alton. All this is speculation, but
if true it would open a way for
Cleveland to creep out of very
bad position.

A POSITIVE AND UNLIMITED GRANT

A r.
at will be seen that it was a pos
tive and unlimited grant in pres
emit from one political community
having perpetual existence to an
other, and therefore necessarily
both in it's literal and general sense
perpetual right, which became
then and forever the absolute and
exclusive property of the United
States. This is familiar law to
every lawyer and publicist.
"The only contention of Presl-
dent Dole and the only suggestion
of Senator Lodge appears to be that
on the exchange OF Publications be-
tween Mr.. Secretary Bayard and
Minister Carter on the 9th of Nov
ember, 1887, Mr.. Bayard stated
that he understood the meaning of
| the article to be that it was to eX-
pire with the expiration of the
sugar part of the convention. But
it is due to Mr.. Bayard to say that
he told Mr.. Carter that he had no
right whatever to place any con-
struction upon the article or In
any manner to change its effect.
Both Mr.. Bayard and Mr.. Carter,
as well as their respective govern
ments, were undoubtedly familiar
with the principles and precedents
of public law and international in
tercourse on the subject, which can
be found stated in Lawrence edition
of Wheaton's International Law,
pp. 454, 456, and notes. There
had been repeated occasions when
other powers had endeavored on
the exchange of notifications to
place a particular Interpretation
upon some parts of treaties, and IN
all of which the representatives OF
the United States had stated, as
they were clearly bound to do, that
they had no power to say anything
or do anything which could, IN the
slightest degree, affect the meaning
and scope of the words that the
Senate had agreed upon. And for
this reason when in 1919 President
Polk sent to Congress the treaty
with Mexico, on May ~, 1913, he
did not send the conferences and
so-called protocol that had taken
place on the exchange OF ratlhca-
| tions, for the reason that had the
protocol varied the treaty, as
amended by the Senate, 1t would
have had no binding effect.

FOREIGN NEWS.

A sensational dispatch comes
from Buenos Ayres under date of
March 9th which indicates that
Brazil is in serious trouble again.
1t says: One of the war ships of
President Peixoto landed a body of
marines on Saturday last in the
Argentine port of Homiguero, who
forcibly rescued a Brazilian mer-
chant vessel which had been seized
by Argentine customs officers on a
charge of smuggling. The Argen-
tine Government has demanded
immediate restitution of the vessel
and ample apologies from Brazil.
Meanwhile her forces stationed
at Conception, town in the state
of Entire Rios, about 100 miles
north of Buenos Ayres, have been
ordered to concentrate on the Bra
lillian frontier near Santos Tome
under Colonel Sarmiento.
Up to the present writing Brazil
has made no reply to demand.

SENATOR DAVIS OPINION.

Senator Davis of Minnesota, a
member Of the committee on for
eign relations, speaking of the Ha-
waiian treaty and the effect its
abrogation would have upon the
rights acquired by the United
States at Pearl river harbor, said i:
"There is a difference of opinion up
on this point, but it's fact that
the rights of the United States to
Pearl river harbor are secure,
whether the treaty is abrogated or
not. 1t is an exclusive grant and
cannot be aside.

THE UNITED STATES HAS EXCLUSIVE
DOMINION.
1t is certain, therefore, that the
the United States has and will con-
tinue to have until they choose to
part with it (Which ! hope will
never occur) the absolute and ex-
elusive dominion of Pearl river
harbor for the purposes named in
the article | have mentioned.
Whether the United States will be
guilty of moral wrong in imposing
duties on Hawaiian sugar, etc, before
the expiration of the convention
upon the proper notice of twelve
months after next November Is
quite a different matter, and to
which, of course, there can be only
one answer. But that now and
hereafter, whatever else may hap

reorganization OF the canal COM

million shares at 500 each, for the

THE PROPOSED CHINESE TREATY.
The full text OF the proposed
Chinese treaty has been made pub
lie by Secretary Gresham. 1t is
pronounced by Congressman Geary
and Cominetti to be n victory for
this government as it does not in
terfere with the existing laws for
exclusion nor does it abrogate the
Geary and McCreary Registration
Acts. One of the striking features
of the treaty is that it binds the
Chinese government to cooperate
with the United States Government
in the restriction of immigration.
The Republican members are not
satisfied with the measure and will
criticize it severely.

four days after the shooting, in which the
state militia under command Of Col.

DR.. Grubbs said to a STATE JOURNAL

was practically Unanimous, viz. That
there was at no time anything like an

that there was not at any time any
formidable attempt made to capture the

CLEVELAND, O., Nov 20-There was a
slightly decreased attendance at the CON
vention Of the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union today.
Mrs. b. Sturtevant Peele Of California
arose and announced that Miss Jessie
Alderman, round the world missionary
OF the union. was seated with the Cali
fOrnia delegation, and Mrs PeeIe de-
sired that she be given seat On the

morously. After Dir Dickey had con
Guided Miss Willard said: "A certain
custom originated with the first presi-
dent Of this Union. 1t is thought now
it j. a good custom to drop. The
custom has been for the president to don
her wraps and sneak down the back
stairs and stay out until she IS elected.
1t really looks as though the president
were SO sure of reelection. So / am
not going out"
After this little speech Rev. Anna
