To this writing there is no confor-
nation of the story by cable from
London-that Spain and Japan have
concluded and exchanged a treaty
whereby the two are to operate against
the United States in case we move to
annex Hawaii, or to aid the Cubans
to gain their liberties. We do not look
upon any such coalition as at all prob
able. If it is true, however, and we
should invite the wrath Of the two ma
tions, they would have US at a disad-
vantage for a short time, but for only
a very short time. However, We antici-
pate no war of that kind. The story is

Mysteries of the Persian Gulf.

Sir Henry Nance recently, in his IN
augural address as President of the
Institution of Electrical Engineers
speaking of the development of oceanic
telegraphy said in the Persian Gulf
one occasionally witnessed phenomena
which to the untraveled might appear
incredible In the midst of the mount
aims near Mussendom he had seen dur
ing a thunderstorm such displays OF
lightning as baff1ed description. lie
had at certain seasons of the year OBJ
served the water in the bay-which was
large enough to hold all the fleets of
the world-preSent exactly the appear
ance of blood. Not many miles from
Mussendom he had witnessed myste-
rious fire circles fitting over the sur
face of the sea at a speed of l0U miles
an hour-a phenomenon which no one
had yet been able 20 explain. While
steaming along the coast of Beluchis-
tan, he had been called from his cabin
at night to observe the more common
phenomenon of a milky sea, the water
for miles around being singularly white
and luminous. In the same locality the
sea was, for short periods, as if putrid,
the fish being destroyed in myriads, 50
that to prevenut a pestlence measures
had to be taken to bury those cast up
ON the beach. This phenomenon was
doubtless due to the outbreak of sub
marine volcano and the liberation or
sulphuretted hydrogen. In these waters
jeTyfish were as large as footballs, and
sea snakes of brilliant hue We're met
with in large numbers. On one occa-
sion a swarm of sea snakes forced their
way up one of the creeks in Karachl
Harbor, apparently for the purpose OF
having a battle royal, for the ground
between high and low water mark was
thiclxly covered with their bodies in po-
sitions betokening a deadly struggle

In State institutions we believe that
the right policy would be to give both
sides" present all these economic ques-
tions with perfect freedom on every
side Assist students to exploit the
whole subject, and look at it from all
points Of view possible; to teach in
pursuit Of truth. no matter where IL
leads, for truth is never discoverable
the question in which it is embedded.
The Bryanites and Populists have no
just warrant for the bitter, nay enyen-
omed invective they are showering up
on Brown University. But they do not
refrain because of that lack Of reason.
In fact they are very illogical TO de-
tuition shall permit to be taught in that
school a doctrine they hold to be err
roneous. We might just as Well de-
nounce a Hebrew College for refusing
to permit Trinitarianism to be taught
within its portals, or roar against the
Northwestern University at Evanston,
I'LL, for refusing to permit Unitarian
ism to be taught in that Methodist
school.
We confess that we do not prefer
universities that are the organs of
special interests. We like the schools
better which are free Intellectually and
otherwise. and where the broadest lib
erty of faith and policy is the rule, so
long as there is perfect freedom on all
sides, and diligent and conscientious
endeavor to present all views of dis
puted questions, fairly and fully. But
despite this prediction, we cannot be
blind to the narrowness, intolerance
and bigotry that condemn the Trustees
of Brown University for conducting
that institution precisely as their con-
Victions lead them.

Gable dispatches convey the news that

ANNEXATION.

Yreka Journal: The argument that
Hawaii is too far from our shores to
warrant annexation shows lack of ia
miliarity with geographical facts. Our
Aleutian Islands in Alaska are 2S de-

them, Attu by name. is only 400 miles
from the coast of Japan, and it has a

In Unalaslza, which is 900 miles nearer

The Cleveland Leader" expresses the
belief that this country can, if it is
so minded, take Hawaii and Danish
every Jap on the islands, and not pro-
woke war with the Mikado. The
Record Union" has already expressed
a similar opinion, but without suggest
ing that such a course would be just,
The treaty under which the japanese
came into the islands was negotiated
under a government now extinct. 1t
was a thoroughly bad treaty, and gives
japanese greater privileges than are
accorded to others, since under it, ac-
cording to the Japanese Interpretation,
the Jap who has lived a certain time
in the islands, is entitled to exercise
the right of suffrage, whether the local
Government thinks the party fit or not.
This, too without the japanese as
suming the full obligations and bur-
dens of citizenship.

1t is amusing to notice with what
ease and fluency the European press
prate of the vast superiority" of the
japanese navy over that of the United
States, and how much inferior we are
in fighting quality on salt water to the
little brown men. On what facts do
the European newspaper critics base
their Judgment? Have they any knowl-
edge Of any real test of the power of
the Japanese upon water? Surely, be-
cause Japan whipped the ill-prepared,
badly managed and ineffective navy of
China, the Europeans do not justify
their expressions. That contest was no
true criterion of capacity. Japan was
not confronted by foe at all worthy
of her steel. She did not have to meet
even brains. We apprehend that the
Japs themselves are fully aware of the
fact that a sea conflict with the United
States would be a very different af-
fair from any of those that took place
off the coasts of China, with the Japa-
nese base of supplies and harbors of
refuge but a few hours distant, and
frequently not half hour away.

WHY Attempt to Cure

Catarrh by the use of so-called blood
remedies? That catarrh is not caused
by blood troubles is self-evident when
you reflect that attacks are always due
to sudden climatic changes or expos
ure, and occur most frequently during
the winter and spring, though the blood
is as pure then as in summer or fall
A remedy which quickly relieves and
cures the catarrhal attacks has been
found in Ely'S Cream Balm.
