The Henley Distance.

There are good reasons for the proposed
change IN the rules of the National Asso-
citation Of Amateur Oarsmen that will en-
able American crews to row in regattas
over the Henley distance of mile and five
sixteenths. This will make possible COM
parisons between British and American
oarsmen that have never before been avail
able, because the latter hav, regularly
rowed over mile and miie-and-a-ha alf
courses. and thus similar performances are
out of the question. The Henley regatta is
undfsputedly the greatest aquatic event in
the world. and is 50 recognized by oarsmen
and lovers Of the sport in all lands. The
highest ambition Of American scullers is to
win at Henley. but they are handicapped in
their training previous to going abroad by
the lack of chances to go into actual COM
petition under Henley conditions. There Is
thus a chance to bring the two nations al
ready so closely allied in many other lines
OF sport still nearer together in rowing.
The Anglo-American contests in field ath-
letics. cricket. yachting. chess and horse
racing have resulted in a wholesome
rivalry, and this should extend to include
rowing as well. No plan ever suggested to
this end. In the opinion Of many oarsmen,
will do so much to accomplish this result
as the official adoption Of the Henley dis
tance in America

International BimetnIIism.

S1me weeks ago The Star qaoted a repuD
Hcan leader of national reputation On the
subject Of American representation at any
conference that might be held to advance
the cause OF international bimetali.sTl. This
gentle man insisted that any delegates or
commissioners appointed by the President
should all be cf one mind on the subject
ard in favor of the proposition. He pointed
out that at the Brussels conference the
American delegates were divided in opinion,
and this. he thought, impaired the influence
of the delegation at that meeting.
The President has named three commis-
sioners to visit the great pox oxers across the
sea in the interests of international BIZ
metallsm and in choosing them has fol-
lowed the line indicated in The Star. All
three are staunch champions of interna-
uonal bimetaliism, and men of eminence
and experience in affairs. One is republi-
can statesman of note, another is repub-
hcan business man of note, while the third
Is a democratic statesman of note and wide
personal popularity. So that both the po-
htical world and the business world are
recognized.
The fitness of the selection of Mr. Wolcott
appears upon its face. His visit abroad
during the winter for the purpose of col
Letting. unoficiaIiy, information on the sub
ject of bimetallism will stand him In most
valuable hand now, and make his efforts,
supported by formal authority. all the more
effective. His republican associate, General
Paine. 1t seems, was his companion on that
trip. and he. too. by reason Of that oppor-
tunity. will be all the more serviceable now
In the work of the commission.
The selection of Mr.. Stevenson was an in
spiration- The President could not have
deae better. Mr.. Stevenson has the conf
dence anc the respect of the entire country
He has been loyal friend of silver fo-
years. though not an extremist in his utter
ances since the question of free coinage
became acute in party contentious. He sup
ported Mr.. Bryan for President. though
largely, it was repeatedly stated. because
of the fact that Mr. Bryan was the party's
regularly nominated candidate. Mr.. Steven
son. with the promise of being nominated
himself. was urged before the convention
was held to declare for free coinage at Is
to as an Independent act by this govern
ment. but he declined to do so. He is
properly rated, therefore, as an advocate
of international bmetallism, and there ap-
pears to be the best of reasons why the
friends of bimetallism should all be salts
fed with the appointment.
Here is another promise made by the re-
pubhcans at st. Louis redeemed. Interna-
tional cimetallism is to receive the benefit
of the party's best effort TO make it part
OF the financial policy of the day.

IjliuOkalani's Ambitions.

Mrs. Dominis' restoration ambitions take
en daily new shades of absurdity Her
advance agent declares now that per-
haps, under certain circumstances she
might consent to stand for the suffrages
OF her former SUBJECTS now citizens of the
Republic of Hawai- Neces sarily this would
Involve a complete acceptance of the pres
ent constitution, and an acknowledgment
that the office of president is legally es-
tablished- At once the pretensiors TO the
right of restoration crumble and the claims
Tor a pension lose what little force they
may once have possessed. Mrs. Dominis is
reported as having called to the attention
OF President Mckinley the alleged fact
that the native Hawaiians have no repre-
sentation either here or at home. She can
not constitute herself their represen.ativ
by such means The record Is against her.
She was dethroned because 1t had become
plain that she was abusing her power de-
mCralizing the machinery of government.
and threatening to foist upon the people
dangerous gambling monopolies and other
aebasing conditions She met the fate of
ali unwise and unfit rulers. and her pre-
tensions now TO restoration of the powers
she so thoroughly abused are as absurd az
they are futile.

port In his effort to protect his countrymen.
Mr.. Olney was afraid that General Lee
had lost his head. The chances are ten to
one that had Mr.. Olney been permitted to
have his way. General Lee would have been
recalled. WHAT saved the consul generals
scalp was the personal friendship that ex-
listed between the President and himself.
Mr. Cleveland sided with Mr.. Olney SO far
as unfolding Spain was concerned. but he
favored baking General Lee rather than
publicly breaking him. Mr.. Mckinley
sustains General Lee. He keeps him at his
post. and receives from him with pleasure
the news of the release of imprisoned
Americans. What struck Mr.. Olney as evil
dence that General Lee was losing his head
strikes Mr.. Mckinley as evidence that
General Lee has level head firmly planted
on his shoulders.
Mr. Cleveland refused to make any special
inquiry into the affairs of Cuba He invest
ed Spain with the character of 1.-The awful
Mr.. Jorkins.'' 1t would bring on war even
to ask a. question about Cuba. The awful
Mr.. Jorkins' would not stand it. Mr.. Nc
Einley will send a special commissioner to
the island, who will look into the situation
and make report. Thus '.the awful Mr..
Jorkins" disappears from the scene.
One could wish for prompt action toward
Cuba. The insurgents are a gallant and
deserving band. and the United States
ought to at least recognize their belliger-
ency. But this government was so com
promised by the Cleveland administration
that 1t may take a little time for the pres
ent administration to clear the track. Judge

Mr. Mckinley and Cuba.

The friends of Cuba should hesitate TO
accept or to encourage stories to the effect
that the cause of justice and liberty In the
administration; that the Cleveland policy.
In essentials. is to be continued: and so
forth The record up to date does not
warrant any such assertion
1t must be remembered that Mr. Mckinley
Inherited from his predecessor a very diff
cult problem as to Cuba What he would
have done had he been President when the
war first took definite shape and large
proportions is more correctly to be inferred
from what he has done during his one

ignominious role toward the Spanish COM

How stands the record? When Mr. Nc
Kinley took office American citizens were
objects of contempt and persecution in the
island. Sending them to Jail and keeping
them there incommunicado was easy
as you please. The Cleveland administra.

While the arbitration treaty hangs in the
balance of International approval the
comfy of nations Is in a fair way of pre-
serVation between the United States and
Great Britain through the proposed cable
chess match with American members of
congress and British members of parlia-
ment as opponents. Chess Is not distinc-
lively an American game. nor even En-
giish. yet it Is far more familiar to Britons
as nation than to US. So 1t may be that
the contest will result in victory for the
other side 1t will then be in order to pro.
pose a return match in which the Ameri.
