AFTER CLERKsHIrs.-There are now

usual, for which they will be paid o2er

Olympia after legislative clerkship
writes to the Tacoma Ledger Of her ex-

minutes to learn Of the foolishness OF
her errand and thereupon she determin-
ed to learn the total number OF those
who, like herself, had sought Olympia
in search OF clerkships. 1t proved a
motley throng. There were young men

families to support, women deserted by
their husbands, and gir. who was the

little sister. Then there were dozens OF
girls and women who were unable to do
heavy work, as we'll as the cripples who
could only do writing. Business men
asked fer positions that they might pre-
vent assignment sales. From the en-
treaties, the open button-holing Of the
members, and the thousand and one
manauyers, that the observing eye
could detect, one was almost led to be-
lieye that every needy person IN the
state was asking for legislative clerk
ships. The same kind OF q scramble
took place at Salem. there being III
clerks hired to wait on 80 Legislators.

batteries which would afford safety to any
one single city. Another reason why bat
teries on shore are not feasible is that the
cost would be enormous and aggregate in
the whole almost as much as would be re-
CURED to fortify New York, Boston and
the large cities on the Atlantic seaboard.
Should this country, therefore, ever be
forced to war with Great Britain it will
probably be the navy that will defend the
lake cities, notwithstanding that there is
treaty between the two Governments
which forbids the maintenance of more
than one vessel of war OF limited ton
mage on the lakes. The ships that would
be depended upon to do this work, how
ever, would not be regular battle-ships
and cruisers of the navy but great feet
of fast commerce steamers that ply be-
tween Cleveland, Chicago, Detroit and
other large Western lake towns. This
feet, which has been reported as available
for naval work, numbers thirty-six vessels,
each Of which has enormous tonnage and
steaming radius.
1t is proposed by Secretary Herbert and
Captain Sampson, head of the Ordnance
Bureau, to order another inspection of
large steamers to determine just how
many more would be valuable as auxil-
liary cruisers. The first blow that might
be expected from England, it is claimed
BY naval experts, would be on the lakes,
and before this country could get troops
to Canada there would be a feet Of gun
boats on the lakes ready to lay large cities
in ruins.
The intelligence office of the Navy De-
partment contains records showing that
Great Britain has just ffty-two vessels of
war whose draught will permit of their
entrance through the Welland canal. One
of these carries eleven inches of armor.
but the remainder are ordinary cruisers,
with no protection to their sides. To eff
fectuslly block the canal would prevent
the passage Of single vessel but as the
waterway runs through British soil it is
not probable that the United States could
reach it in time to shut out the feet. With
no United States warships on the lakes to
meet it, there would be nothing to hinder
warships from playing havoc with city
like Chicago.
The Navy Department, however, pro-
poses to provide against just such an
emergency and will have sufficient five
and six inch high power rifles on hand
with which these auxiliary cruisers are
to be equipped. A feet of fifty Of this
class of boats, it is asserted, could whip
any number OF ships which Great Britain
could possibly place on The lakes.

THERE WILL BE NO WAR.
That Is lie Candid View of Professor
Lawson.

COLUMBIA, Mo-, Dec. 24.-Judge John
Lawson. professor of law in the State Uni
versity, is the author of numerous legal
books. His work on Contracts" is used
ii nearly all of the leading law schools of
America. Speaking OF the threatened war
with England Judge Lawson said:
"There will be no war, for the simple
reason that England has given too many
hostages to fortune in the shape of Ameri-
can investments. Every American citizen
would be released for the time from any
debt obligation to Great Britain; and if it
became necessary the United States Gov
eminent could, as a war measure, wholly
annul obligations. Even without Govern
mental action all business relations would
cease. Take the suspension of English in
surance companies doing business in
America; all the obligations incurred
under these would be Cancelled. 1t will be
a long time before a commercial country
like England involves itself in a war with
the United States"
Judge Lawson does not agree with the
law professors of Yale and Harvard in
their published utterances of international
Jaw. international law" said Judge
Lawson, lis not code of principles reck-
oned from all that pertains to justice 1t
Is simply certain important principles
which each nation has been able TO get
other nations to acquiesce in through
force. The Monroe doctrine will become
international law as soon as the United
States, holding firm to its position, COM
pels its recognition by another country"

CITIES WITHOUT DEFENSE.
But Well Armed Vessels Can Be
Produced.

NEW YORK, n. Y, Dec. 24.-The Suns
Washington special says: The fortifica-
tons board, which some years ago drew
an elaborate plan for coast defense, left
out entirely the great Western cities near
the Canadian line, the theory being that
Canada, in the event of war, would be &C.
cupied in ten days by the United States
troops, and that such cities as Chicago,
Detroit and Cleveland would be in no
danger from the enemy if that enemy
should be Great Britain. No other coun-
try lighting in the United States, it is
Claimed by military authorities, could pos
sibly reach these cities, as to get there it's
SHIPS would have to pass through Ca
madam waters, which of itself would be a
declaration OF war on England.
General Miles, in discussing this feature
Of the country's lack of defenses, said that
it was rather curious thing that the
waterway through which an invading feet
could reach the great lakes ran through
British territory, anu for this reason it
would be an exceedingly difficult thing for
the United States to seize the Welland
canal IN time to prevent the transit of
ships up the st. Lawrence. No single sys-
tenn of Notifications for the protection of
Chicago and Cleveland. says the General,
would be practicable, for the reason that
attack would come from the water, and it
would be almost impossible to erect land

ENDORSES THE DOCTRINE.
Professor Rogers Approves of the
Presidents Policy.

CHICAGO, Ill, Dec. 2.-President
Rogers of the Northwestern University,
who also occupies the chair of inter
national law at that college, has, in an
interview given out to-day, come out fat
footed for President Cleveland's message.
He says il is purely patriotic document
An assertion OF his which will probably
attract some attention is that the Monroe
doctrine never has been part of inter-
national law. When asked what he
thought of the message President Rogers
SAID:
"Yes. approve of that message and do
not regard it as having its inspiration in
any desire for third term. have too
great regard for the President of the
United States to believe that he would
place in position OF peril two great ma
tions, simply to further his own selfish
ends"
The Monroe doctrine, he said, was broad
enough to cover an attempt such as had
been made by England in regard 10
Venezuela. While it was not now part
OF international law. he expected it to be-
come so in a few years. Nations would be
compelled to ultimately acknowledge the
principle involved, and it was one of the
fundamental principles which alone kept
them from encroachlng on each others

So Far the Government Has Done
Nothing to Check Murder
and Pillage.
INCREASE OF THE RAIDERS.
Consuls Have Given Warnings and
Missionaries May Receive Some
Protection.

BOSTON, MASS, Dec. PA letter was
received in Boston to-day stating that the
situation in Hadjin, Central Turkey, is
daily becoming more serious. Hadjin is
e1icon passed by large band Of Kurds and
Turks, who have raioed and sacked every
village in the neigh borhood.
The Government. the letter says, does
nothing to put stop 70 this work of muir
der and pillage. The consequence is that
not only have tie raiders taken fresh cour-
age, but their numbers have swollen so
that they constitute an army of sufficient
strength to attack Hadjin. The letter
continues:
There is practically no government.
Anarchy sits enthroned The Christians
of Hadiin, notwith standing the treatment
to which they have been subjected, offered
no resistance, and in their conduct
throughout have been most praiseworthy.
Neither the American nor the English
Consul has put in an appearance. Travel
is extremely dangerous, and, indeed, no
one ventures these days even under the
escort of gendarmes. Supplies are be-
coming exhausted and already some are
suffering from hunger The Vail gives
assurance that the missionaries shall be
protected, and consuls have warned him
that they hold him responsible for their
safety"
Another letter was received from the
vicinity of Harpoot, Eastern Turkey, stat
ing that the apologists for the ruler of
Turkey will doubtless try to make out that
all the disturbance is the fault of Moslem
fanaticism and quite contrary to the
wishes of the Sultan.
1.-THE Government itself will represent"
the letter says. cit has already begun to
represent that the Armenians provoked
the attacks. As to the Armenlans, in m ost
places in this region they had given up
their arms and cast themselves wholly on
the protection OF the Government. The
day before the outbreak in Harpoot the
colonel in com mond telegrap hed to his
commander-in-chief in Mexreh that the
Christians had given up their weapons
and cast themselves on the protection of
the Government with their women and
children and asked what they should do.
He received no reply. 1t is perfectly plain
that this whole thing emanated from the
Sultan.
"For two months the Dersin and Moslem
Kurds have been declaring that they had
orders from the Sultan to kill the Chris
tians. The Turks in the cities also have
said the same. Prominent Turkish Off
Gals have acknowledged that such an I'M
preston was prevalent. Then simulta-
