roreign seizure of Hawaii.

sity of aunexing Hawaii to tho
United States as a means OF prevent
ing its immediate seizure by the
Japanese. Two or three years ago,
it was affirmed by those who we're
urging the annexation policy upon
our governm, Mt that England was
meditating a seizure OF this group
of islands in the Pacific, and that
the only way to prevent such an
untowsrd proceeding was for the
United States to step in and an
nounce itself a possessor OF them.
The e1-premier of japan, who is now
in the United States on his way to
England, states most emphatically
that Japan has no more idea OF
selling Hawaii than it has of taking
possession of Gibraltar. This denial
was needless so far as intelligent
and disinterested citizens of the
United States are concerned. From
first to last, the Hawaiian scheme has
been developed on the theory that it apas
easier to accomplish results by dishonest
than by honest methods; that is, there
has been through all these proceedings
the practice Of systematic deception, and
these pretended Seizure Of the islands by
foreign governments are simply part
and parcel of this fraudul-nt business.
When it became obvious that the
bogie of English seizure was losing
its terrors, the Japanese seizure
scarecrow was ooncocted and dress-
ed up, and when the emptiness OF
this is exposed we shall either have
revival of the English scare, or it
may be that Germany and France
will be brought forward as appro-
pirate labels for convenient and
strongly worked delusion. The fact
is there is a speculative and organ
lied effort to commit the United
States to the expensive and, under
the circumstances, altogether un-
satisfactory work Of regulating the
affairs of this mixed island commu-
nifty, which is located almost as far
from the United States as Ireland is
from Boston.
1t is vastly better that this com
nunity should work out it's own
destiny so far as its local control is
concerned. Its government must,
from the nature of things, be a
modified despotism, form of con-
troll which the United States could
not tolerate as part of its national
system. France and England have
pledged themselves in the past not
to Eeize Hawaii, and if there is any
doubt concerning other nations, the
mere assertion on the part of the
government of this country that it
considered Hawaii to come within
the range OF its legitimate national
interests, and that any attempt on
the part of a foreign government to
deprive the Hawaiians of their in
dependence, or to bring them under
control, reg, rded by the United
States government to be an I'M
friendly act, would be just as effec-
tive in securing immunity from
foreign seizure as if the United
States government formally annexed
the islands and sent its army and
navy to Honolulu to protect the
archipelago against an attack. But
such declaration is not asked for,
for the simple and sufficient reason that
those who are starting these stories con-
corning the seizures contemplated by
England and Japan know that there is
not the least foundation of truth in
them-B Boston Herald.

Senator Ketcham defended the bill on he

several grand juries. Much to Mr.. Ketch-

Mr.. Parry also had a time of it with

TRENTON, March "a, 1ss7.@The Sen
ate, although itfsheads only morning and
after noon sessions, accomplished as
much as the House and did much more
talking. AT the opening of the afternoon
session a message was received from Cow
ernor Griggs calling attention to the re-
port of the Commissioners who consider
ed the subject Of the pollution Of the
Passaic River and a plan of relief. Ref
erence is made by His Excellency to the
great need of a prompt and efficient rem
edy for the condition existing below the
Great Fails at Paterson. The river at
present is a nuisance, detrimental to
health and damaging to property inter-
ests. The Commissioners, he says, rec
commended, under the advice Of, eonpe-
tent engineers, that the only adequate
remedy Is the construction OF q system
of trunk sewers leading from the Falls
at Paterson to the meadows below New
ark. The estimated cost is $4,000 00. The
governor adds that or account of the
lateneSs OF the session 1T is improbable
that the necessary legislation will be en-
acted this year, but he recommends that
the senators consider carefully the af-
cess, SO that action can be taken next
winter. He also recommends the appoint
ment of a special committee to sit during
the recess and receive suggestions, etc.
When the House bill fixing the open
season for certain kinds of game came
up on final passage, the Senators were
disposed to amuse themselves over it.

POLICE MAKE 4 HAUL.
Three Supposed Burglars Caught
After an Exciting
Chase.

Two colored men and a white man,
supposed burglars. gave Roundsman
Frey and five policemen of the Gregory
street station a lively chase at three
o'clock this morning.
The roundsman and Policeman Quinn
were walking through Warren street
when they espied the three men acting
III a suspicious I'M neal a grocery
store. AS the policemen approached the
trio started in an opposite direction. Frey
called upon them to stop. The trio broke
into a run.
The officers started in pursuit and as
h fugitives gained on them Quinn drew
his revolver and fired several shots over
their heads. The report of the shots at
tracted Policemen Oxley and Manning,
and espying the three men they, too,
started in pursuit, exploding their re-
volvers inc blowing call whistles at
frequent intervals.
The commotion terrified the downtown
residents, and heads were poked out of
windows, and a choice variety of cues
tons as to the cause of the trouble were
flung at the coppers as they rushed here
and there in pursuit of the suspects. In
Essex street the white man separated
from the colored men. He was, taken
prisoner by Roundsman Frey. who found
him hiding in a hallway.
Quinn, Oxley and Manning continued
in pursuit of the colored men. They
eludad their pursuers ON the
piers at the foot of Grand street.
The coppers were securing the neigh
borhood for the men when. a pistol shot
from he direction of Exchang place
attracted their attention. Hurrying
through Hudson street toward Exchange
place the colored fugitives practically
ran into their arms. The suspects did
not resist arrest. Immediately after the
men had been taken prisoners Policeman
Bennett dashed around the corner. He
was in pursuit of them.
1t appears that after GLIDING their pur-
suers on the piers the colored men en-
tered the ferry house and made an at
tempt to catch a BOAT which was lust
drawing out of the slip. Their anxiety
to get across the ferry aroused the sus-
p1cion of Bennett, and he determined 10
question them. AS he approached they
made a break for the ferry gate. and
before Bennett could catch them thew
had escaped into Exchange place. They
We're gaining on him when he fired the
shot which attracted Oxley and Manning
and resulted in the capture of the men
Atfthe station house they gave the
names of Solomon Williams and Walter
Jones' The white man was Robert Wal
ker of No. rs First avenue, Albany.
They told such contradictory stories
that Justice Potts sent them to the
County Jail for sixty days. Chief Muir
phy believes the prisoners are burglars
