The gravity of the situation will
be best understood by a careful
reading of the second article Of our
treaty with Japan, which reads as
follows:
"Article III. The subjects of each
OF the two high contracting parties,
respectively, shall have the liberty
and security to come with their ships
and cargoes to all places. ports and
rivers in the territories OF the other,
where trade with other nations is

that would have to be defended un-

When the Constitution of the
hybrid Republic was being drawn,
the rebels who had, through Stevens
treachery, obtained control of the
kingdom, fondly hoped that annex
alton would be had in very short
time, and that an electorate was un-
necessary to their schemes save to
obtain a technical, not practical,
endorsement of their actions by q
vote given entirely by those under
their control, and principally sol
diers aud Government employees
useful only in registering the de-
crees OF the will of the governing
minority and incapable through
personal interests of being dis
obedient to orders from head
quarters.

The Japan Mail treats the action
Of this "funny little republic" which
action was based upon the decision Of
our Supreme Court, in the following
language:
at will be at once apparent that
a very curious consequence is in
volvsd in this decision, namely, that
a Collector of Customs, being beyond
the perview of the law in respect of
his conduct when applying the I'M
migration Act, cantnot be legally
arraigned whatever step he may take
If, for example, in examining an i'm
migrant, he resorts to practices
criminal under ordinary circum-
stances, he can still claim immu-
nifty from penal indictment. On the
other hand, if an immigrant, whose
title to land has been denied by
the Collector, suffers wrong at the
hands of an ordinary Hawaiian
citizen, will the law courts OF Hawaii
refuse redress on the ground that
the injured alien has not obtained
due permission to land in Hawaii 2
These questions seem more or less
academical, but it is beyond all
doubt that Hawaii is not competent
TO decide for herself when and
where within her territory privileges
secured by treaty shall be enjoyable.

Four Deserted Dressmal>ers Commit
Suicide After Hilarious Evening.

A great sensation has been created in
Paris by the discovery that four dress
makers have committed suicide by inhaling
charcoal fumes in fiat belonging to the
well-to-do Nine. Marechal, in the Fou-
bourg Poisson-Rere. Nine Marechal had
long suffered from melancholy because of
the insanity of her husband AMI it is sup
posed that she instigated the act and per-
suaded the others, who were deserted
either by their husbands or their lovers.
The four met in the evening. partook of
a sumptuous dinner, with wine, sang and
smoked until late, and concluded life with
the statement in writing, sigred by all:
I'VE die deliberately and without any re-
greet"
When the bodies were discovered the
tables and floor were strewn with cigar
cites and cigar ends. On the center table
were letters addressed to their relatives.
In the room with them a pet dog was
found dead.

Record Of the Clnbs.

The battle of the National League clubs
was resumed Yesterday, the Washingtons
having the Clevelands as opponents, IN
the latter city. and the home club trounced
our representatives quite easily, winning
the game by the score of 10 to 5. and send
ing the statesmen into eleventh place. Sill
yer King was On the rubber for the Sem
atorial outfit, and for the first three In
nings singles, doubles and triples were
made off his delivery with such frequency
that every chance the visiting Senators
had of winning the game was then and
there dispelled After the third inning
King regained his nerve and pitched good
ball. but it only served as a covering for
retreat in goo6 order on account OF the
men back of him being unable to do any
thing with their sticks. Cy Young did the
twirling for the Clevelards and although
he was hit hard his ability was conclu-
sively demonstrated when he kept the
safe ones from being made with men on
bases.
Manager Tebeau was obliged to put a
