1t isn't fairly to be inferred that the
+ fusal of the House to concur with the
Senate in the matter of an appropria
ton of $4,000 for Pearl Harbor, Hawaii,
signifies that the temper of the House Is
opposed to annexation, much less OPP
posed to continuing the virtual protec-
t1rate over that country, which for
rearly half a century this country has
exercised. There is no doubt but that
earl Harbor needs Improvement. Nor
is it to be doubted but that when Ha-
vail ceded it to this country she sup
osed the reciprocity treaty would re-
RAIN in force: also, that Whenever it

they would go to the United States.
Tow, the Senate would throw out the
reciprocity treaty and at the same time
assume to hold Pearl Harbor, and it is
10, improbable that it was led to pro
| ose this appropria tion at this time as
Il sort of claim for holding on to that
in an interview recently published
he didn't doubt but that the cedng of
Pearl IIarbor would be found not to be
necessarily dependent upon the reciproc
ity treaty. he did think we would
lave little or no claim in equity should
we break our part of the agreement and
try to hold Hawaii to the other part.
Chairman Hit of the foreign affairs
committee of the House, appears to be
f the opinion that some kind of an APP
preparation like that proposed is neces-
5ary in order to give our claim to the
l;arbor the strength it should have, for
he said: by this small expenditure we
can put our foot down, plant our flag
not come down in thousand years.
This government will do a very foolish
thing if it in any way places in jeop-
ardy our claim upon that harbor Per-
haps the House will not consent to
breaking the pledge, as the Senate pro-
poses to do, and in that spirit defeated
this appropriation, but that at best is
scarcely a good excuse, for the object
is worthy, and under existing condl-
lions is considered by many to be an
imperative one.

is possible that at the time the pres
spirit of this provision was substan-
TALLY carried out This, however, was
nearly half century ago. and condi-
lions have changed radically since
then. Some portions of the city have
grown more rapidly than others, and
the result has been an increasing dis
crepancy between the voting and tax
paying strength of the various wards.
This has been particularly conspicu-
Gus in the case of Ward 1. It is prob
able that when the present ward lines
were established this ward was no
larger than the others. The large map
of the city published by Coleman & Co.
of New York, in 1S75-twenty-two years
ago-and giving the present ward lines,
shows that, even at that time Ward /,
had not attained anything like it's pres
ent growth. Much of the land now
covered by substantial buildings, and
paying a large tax into the city treas
ury, was then open field. The relative
voting strength of this ward as COM
pared with others is we'll illustrated
by the vote thrown at the last Septem-
Der elections. when special effort was

THE BOTTLE KITTEN.

Madison avenue was too restricted a
sphere for woman of her burning am
bitions. She longed to be leader in
the ranks of emancipated cathood and
teach her downtrodden sisters to strike
for more mice-and liberty. So she left
her little family before their eyes were
opened, and started in search of broader
spheres. Two of the kittens died, and
the third started out to battle with life
on four wobbly little legs and an un-
certain little tail that he used for steer
ing purposes. He steered himself as far
as Third avenue, where girl, pushing a
baby carriage, picked him UP and put
him in. There must have been some free
masonry of babyhood between the kit
ten and the baby, for the latter passed
the bottle and the kitten worked it as
II II had Klondike claim. ALI the Third
avenue children crowded round to see
the sight, and the little waits sides
puffed out visibly. The baby's mother
