CHANGER LURIkH IN THE REALM OF
THE SETTING SUM-"

The fact that Hawaii has formally
proposed that all differences between
herself and Japan on the important
question Of immigration and other trca-
ty rights be submitted to arbitration,
and that this offer has been Indignantly
declined by the Japanese government,
which takes the position THAT there is
nothing to nrbitrate: that her interprxs-
tntion Of the treaty must stand as CON
strued by Japan, and that If Hawaii
does not live up to her obligations she
must take the consequence, Is causing
no little uncnsincss In Honolulu. AS
an evidence OF the keennesS Of the situa-
ton, It is said that President McI<in-
ieN's administration attaches much I'M

Hawaiian government submitted by
Mr. Hatch on July Sth to the effect that
the Hawaiian Minister Is convinced that
there are grounds for fearing that the

In an exhaustive review Of the Fla
waiIan matter, az 1t relates TO the pro-
posed annexation of the islands to tho
United States and the attitude Of Japan
thereto, the New York Herald recalls
the great and almost inestimablc value
q supreme sea power has been to this
country on moro than one occasion. 1t
sets out with the proposition that the
nation which Is best equipped navally
can do what 1t rleases and declares that
but for the activity Of the Northern
gency, there would be to-day Con-
Tolerate States existing side by side
with the United States.
In saying this it does not mean to
detract from the important services rem
dcred the country by the generals who
led the Union forces on land. but 1t is
unalterably Of the opinion that but for
the United States navy IN that event
FIJI period OF our history, there would
be to-day two Anglo-Saxon Republics
instead Of one, and it is not alone in
that opinion, 1t recalls these facts by
way Of demonstrating the value Of su-
preme sea power, and because it believes
that the Japan Hawaii matter is a.
Stunning such q character that 1t is not
at all unlikely that we may be forced
to measure arms with the Monaghan,
in which event the contest must be set

Japan succeeded in the war with Chi

naval forces, just az the Chlians did
some years ago in the war with Peru,

the mercy Of continental Europe. Every
