Notes of the Day.

While the President watches by the bed
side Of his dying mother In Canton, Ohio.
his nearest friends in the Congress are get
ting ready [" upset two Of his most cher
ished policies. Suddenly 1t develops that
Speaker Reed is opposed to Hawaiian aa-
nexation, and that the autocratic power
placed in his hands is to be used to squelch
any joint resolution on the subject that
might happen along, in the event that the
Senate Should fan to ratify the pending
treaty. 1t is very evident that the friends
of the measure have not fully reckoned
upon the extent TO which the Sugar inter
esrs, tog. ther with the lobby representing
Great Britain and Japan. are prepared tn
gu in opposition TO our acquisition OF the
islands. If they are of import auce to Us.
they are regarded as equally SO 10 the
two powers which have had hungry eyes
upon the group for many years. 1t is an
old trick of British diplomacy to buy what
ii wants in Washington, and IL viii be
found that the attorneys of one sort or
another engaged in the struggle, are gen
tlemen not only of the usual plausibiIiti ;.
but that their drafts on one or Two Anglo
a american banking houses in New York are
good for many sums expressed in not less
than five figures each. We recall one IA
nous occasion Upon which an English gen.
tleman Of much prominence spent a short
time and half million dollars in
this city, and secured some financial
Legislation which since has been worth
billions &c MS country at the expense of
ours. Cnder existing circumstances Great
Britain would consider very large
amount dir fheap for the iefeat Of Ha-
waiian annexation. The session promises
TO be both lively and, to some people,
highly remuneraiive.

Dispatches from Cuba show that our CON-
fidence in Gen. Garcia's ability TO make
things hot in Eastern Cuba was not mis-
placed. His latest ELECTROMAGNETIC bonn
bardment and destruction of the town of
Guisa-is Of considerable interest, chiefly
because Guisa was the outpost and protec-
ton to the city Of 3ayamo, which MS likely
as not Garcia by this time has added to his
string ofscaips. A Yankee pneumatic d yna
mite thrower chiefly appears to have been
responsible for success in this instance, and
1t is noteworthy that the Cuban war has
demonstrated the usefulness of the device.
We should say that it has added consider
ably To the possibilities Of aggressive opera
lions in broken or mountainous countries,
Conducted by small bodies of troops. These
dynamite guns are Zig hit enough to be pack
ell over difficult ground by few men, and
a mule can haul the whole outfit wherever
such animal can go himself. There is a
chance, therefore, that the American dyna-
mite thrower will find general acceptance
and use abroad before long. For expedi-
tonary purposes In Asia and Africa, espe-
cially in regions difficult for heavy artil-
lery, IT would seem to be exactly the rIyht
ting.

ADVERSE TO JUDGE MILLS.
Decision of the Court Of Appeals on
tGt Poor Convict Law

Decision of the Court OF Appeals on
the Poor Convict Law.
The court of appeals handed dowl an
opinion yesterday in the Case Of United
States Commissioner Mills, against whom
United States District Attorney Davis APP
Piled to the supreme court OF the Dis:r ct
for a writ Of certiorari to command Com
missioner Mills to show by what authority
he was about to act III the case OF one
Beckett, who was sent to the Jail from The
police court In default of payment or Il Zine
Imposed by the police court. Beckett APP
pied to United States Commission ,r Mills,
after serving thirty days in Jail, anu as
about to show that he wds unable To pay
his fine and to seek his release. In lis
petition the Emitted States attorney cen
tended that the commissioner was with
out authority to act I'm the case OF police
court conyicts
The court of appeals holds that 'om
missioner Mills has no such authority. The
statutes give United States commission
ers the night to Release such persons sent
to prison by a United States court, and
the vital point, as set forth in the tlecisul 1,
is whether the police court is such a to'irt
as is contemplated In the poor convict ,Ct.
The court OF appeals holds that IL is not.
