On the Turco-Persian Frontier.

Last August the Persian side of the Turco-
Persian frontier westward of the great Lake
Urmia was the scene of a sanguinary raid
by the lawless Kurds %inhabiting the dis.
tricts OF Van and Hakkiari on the Turkish
side. The Persian population along the
frontier across which the Turkish Kurds
passed contains n considerable Armenian
and HISTORIAN element, among which are
many Armenian refugees from the late mas.
sacres, and it was against these latter that
the raid was specially directed. 1t has
been established by a commission of inquiry
appointed to look into the matter, assisted
by agents of some of the foreign lega.

the knowledge and connivance of the Turk.

faction from the Porte for the violation of

some influence from behind. Apart from

Shall We Annex Greenland ?

There appears to be nothing whatever in
the Canadian rumor that our Government
has made overtures to Denmark for the
purchase of Greenland. The reason as
signed for the alleged offer is that we may
have a foothold along the proposed Hudson
Bay route to Europe. But that route itself
Is yet only a dream of enthusiasts, and 1t
is difficult to see how our annexing
Greenland will help us much in regard to
it, when that dream becomes a reality.
Still, 1t would be too much to infer that
Greenland is not worth our acquiring. On
the contrary, it might be a most interest
ing and, in SOM respects, a valuable posses
sion. When we acquired Russian America
there were many doubts as to whether that
corner of the continent would ever pay us.
But now that Alaska Is one of the chief
points of the worlds attention, not only
is there assuredly no doubt on that score,
but we must feel little disposed to under
rate Greenland. merely because it is trav-
ersed by the Arctic circle.
What Denmark has to offer us of imme-
diate and urgent interest is in the tropics,
not in the frigid zone. Her islands of St.
Thomas, Santa Cruz and st. John are in
the market, and it is a question whether
we might not do well to buy.

The New Dry Dock Programme.

Alike in the magnitude and the novelty
of its proposals, the board composed of
Commodore BUNCE, Commander CHAD
WICK, Constructor DAsH1ELL, and Civil
Engineer PARKS makes a new departure
on the subject of docking our warships.
The outlays it advocates aggregate $11,-
O75 900. and more than half of this large
sum is declared to be urgently needed. We
have now eleven dry docks, of which only
three can take the largest battleships; but
the board would add ten, making a total
of twenty-one, and would also enlarge one
of the existing docks. Congress undoubt.
eddy would not vote such an amount in a
hump, and accordingly the board has indi-
Gated five docks for earliest consideration,
and further points out that the money
needed for these, So, TIE, 900, can be voted
In annual installments, according to the
amoun completed, as in the case of new
ships. 1t is not unlikely, therefore, that
Congress may make an appropriation for
three or five docks, to start with, and, at
all events, the board has shown sound
Judgment in studying and laying out a
broad programme, for years to come, leav-
ing 1t to be completed by degrees.
Perhaps even more striking than the
magnitude Of the plan Is the character
OF the structures proposed. Our docks now
are either of granite or of wood; but the
bonTd proposes that the new ones shall
drop both these materials and use instead
concrete and steel. Since 1t also introduces
steel floating docks, or, rather, the double
sided steel floating dock, of the combined
floating and craving type, it will he seen
that there is abundant novelty in the re-
port of the board.
We must say, too, that this very novelty
will probably call out prolonged discussion
and probably some bitter opposition. The
friends of wooden docks are many and
strong. The c%heapness and rapidity with
which such structures can be built are
prominent among their advantages, and
there are others, including their hcalthful-
ness and comfort for working in. The APP
preparations proposed by the board could
build nearly n score of wooden docks, all
of the largest size.
But the comparisons have usually been
made hitherto between wood and stone.
When floating docks are called for, and steel
is brought in for the material, concrete
also being substituted for the craving
dock, the basis Of comparison shifts, and
both In ~cheapness and rapidity of corstruc-
ton n great gain over granite Is effected.
To see this it is only necessary to note that
the concrete craving dock for Boston, 700
tsst long, Is to cost only $1,000, 900. AID

Hawaii Clearing Her Path.

The information said to nave come from
Honolulu, that Japan is willing to settle
her claims against Hawaii for 800. 900 in
gold, is interesting for various reasons. The
State Department will not admit hat it
has had official advices from Minister
SEwALL to that effect, but our Washington
dispatches have set forth the grounds for
believing that a proposal has been made IN
the basis of the amount named.
1t might not, of course, end the dispute,
because Hawaii's ground is that she ought
not TO pay anything at all for having
turned back the immigrants last spring,
except in instances where individuals who
had fulfilled the requirements of the treaty
and OF her laws were improperly kept out.
And again, if the payment is to be ac-
companied by an admission of the principle
of ~pecuniary liability, Hawaii may object.
In other words, Japan's main purpose may
be to secure a formal recognition of her
right to send any of her subjects, coolies as
well as others, and of the inability of Ha-
wall to keep them out. In that case the
actual amount said to be claimed for the
steamboat companies. which carried the

the immigrants themselves, might seem
less important Than the establishment Of q
principle which would enable Japan to
flood the islands with her %colonists, over.
riding any restrictive Hawaiian laws. An
offer to settle for 100000 might in that
case, therefore, DO regarded by Hawaii as
something not to be accepted.
But, while not undertaking these points,
we still consider the report as gratifying
and of good promise. In the first place, 1t
would show, IL confirmed, a recession by
Japan from her former ground, which was
that of securing an acknowledgment Of the
principle of liability before fixing the
amount. But with such an outside esti-
mate of all damages, this item can be
clearly understood in our own arrange
ments with Hawaii. 1t would be a very
small addition, at most, to her debts.
Minister SEwALL's report that the Japa-
nese in Hawaii are acting very ~peaceably,
and Admiral MILLER's that the Naniwa
Kan has really gone home, and Is not how
ering in the Pacific, are further gratifying
assurances. Altogether, the Hawaiian hori-
zon is Frightening, and the few obstacles
in the path of the admission of the islands
to our Union are disappearing.
