GOING TO HAWAII.
Honolulu the Destination Of the
Battleships Iowa and Oregon.
nay co TO MANILA FROM THERE.
Not Anticipated That They Will Be Needed,
Strengthening the Pacific
Squadron Merely PrecautiOn
Capt. EvanA Detached.

Washington, Sept lG Capt. Robley
D. Evans called at the navy depart
ment and had long talk with Secre-
tary Long, the result Of which was the
issue of an order relieving him of the
command Of the battleship Iowa,
which is now being repaired at the
New York navy yard. This was done
at Capt Evans personal request He
has served more than the period OF
time required by regulations and
practice for a captain to command.
Secretary Long decided to assign Capt.
Evans to duty as member OF the
naval inspection board and he will as
sumo his new duties after a brief va
cation.
The next commander Of the Iowa
will be Capt. Silas Terry, now in COM
mand of the receiving ship Franklin,
at the Norfolk navy yard. He will
take the ship around South America
and over to Honolulu in company with
the Oregon and some colliers. 1t is
said at the navy department that the
sailing orders to the battleships have
not yet been issued, and that when
they are they will take the ships only
as far as Honolulu. 1t is not denied
that they will ultimately proceed to
join Dewey's feet at Manila If itshould
be deemed expedient to reinforce him.
But as the journey around South
America will occupy nearly four
months and many changes in the
situation as to the Philippines may be
expected to occur before the expira-
ton of that period Of time, it cannot
be certainly foretold whether or not
the Oregon and the Iowa will reach
Manila.
1t is expected in official circles that
the battleships and the five colliers
which will accompany them will be
ready to sail by Monday next. The
ships will not waste any time in max
ing the voyage. They will make few
stops and these only to coal and COM
municate with the department. While
believing there will be no international
developments to change the pro-
gramme, the authorities do not pro-
pose to be in such position that they
cannot modify the instructions to the
vessels in case of necessity, and it is
for this reason they are to touch at
certain points to report and receive
orders.
So far as Germany is concerned, the
authorities say there is nothing in her
attitude to cause the belief that she
proposes to interfere with any DISPOSE
ton Of the ]. Philippines this govern.
ment may see fit to make. IT is appre-
ciated, however, that it will be the
part of wisdom for the United States
to put in the Pacific force SO formida-
Lle as to discourage even the sugges-
ton of interference Germany's force
in the Pacific consists of the ar
mored cruisers Kaiser and Deutsch-
land, the protected cruisers kaiserin
Augusta, Irene, Princess Wilhelm, &C.
flon, Cormoran and Fake. The dis.
placement Of Rear Admiral Dewey's
present force amounts to 80 SS2 tons,
while that Of the German commander
reaches 37,Sli. Rear Admiral Dewey's
ships, however, are better armed than
the German men.of.war, and their men
have the advantage of having been
under fire.

The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-02-03
Does Not Improve WIEN Axe.

Neither the Hawaiian annexation
treaty nor the policy of hiding the de-
bate upon it behind closed doors i'm
proves with age The discussion is
reported with almost as much freedom
as if all corners were admitted. In
deed, the fact that the exclusion of the
public hides nothing is so patent that
conservative men, like Senator Morrill,,
are beginning to see that the open ses-
sion should be the rule of the future.
The debate yesterday went far afield,
but brought out some interesting argu-
ments against annexation. Both sides
charge so freely against each other the
support Of the sugar trust that this
loses all force. The retort courteous
OF the Southern Senators, that the Re-
publican party, which made all it's po-
litical capital for years out of the in
1quity Of alleged minority rule in the
South, is now openly allied with minor
ity rule in Hawaii, is forcible, if not eff
ffcacious.
The argument that Hawaii is needed
for purposes of defense has been pune
tGred in thousand spots by the pene-
trating point Of common sense That a.
Warship, when out of coal, is as help
less as raft, does not go to show the
need of Hawaii as a coaling station
half as strongly as it does what would
happen to squadron that should go
to the Sandwich Islands to protect
them and happen to find the harbors
already occupied and fuel supplies cut
OFF. All that the enemy would have to
do would be to go on board and take
charge
This is probably the point that will be
urged by Senator Pettigrew in advocat-
ing his resolution that no territory
should be annexed which requires a
navy to protect It, So fearful does the
senate appear of publicity of the argu-
ments on this side issue that it has de-
clded to have the debate on it also take
place behind closed doors. These ac-
compartments of the Hawaiian discus
sion, few Of which are particularly per-
tirent, show that the senate is merely
marking time while skirmishing for
those extra recruits whose votes are
needed to ratify the treaty, and who
can be brought in only by the remorse-
less application Of party pressure under
PARTY discipline

Press Gag or Dead Letter

1t is understood that the Republicans
of New York state, under the leader
ship of Platt, will make a party issue
of the Ellsworth newspaper bill that
has hardly been regarded seriously up
to this time. A few of the Repub-
lican law givers of that state have
been greatly exercised over the per-
formances of a 'licentious press" when
it exposed their peccadilloes or took
the more harmless and pleasing shape
of presenting their portraits in carica-
ture Out of this arose the PROPOSE
ton, at the last session, to prohibit
the publication of cartoons, and this
has now been expanded into a general
act "to prohibit and punish the publi-
cation and dissemination Of licentious
indecent and degrading papers,
If the purpose of the act were as ex-
pressed in its title, it's passage might
be an excellent thing OF course, it con-
templates seriously nothing of the sort,
but has in view the establishment of a

kind of press censorship. The INSIDE
punished heavily by fine or imprison-
| ment, Or both, consists in editing or
publishing or distributing a paper
which, among other things, "corrupts,
minds or morals of the public or Of its
readers or of the people among whom
it circulates"
Of this kind of legislation we already
few who would not applaud any Iegis-
lative restriction that might put an
effective check upon such work as is
done by the sensational newspapers of
New York city. Like most other
| abuses, however, these are we'll within
| the scope of existing law It would not
be difficult, If complaints were made
in the proper quarters, and acted upon
by the authorities with vigor and in
telligence, to sweep the atmosphere
clear of the fetid odors of yellow jour
nalism." The community that is I'M
willing to enforce its own statutes and
finds abuses existing in defiance of
them, always resorts to a more COM
prehensive and more drastic law as a
pretense of relief This is the reason
that the Ellsworth bill has for it's be
ing.
The terms in which it is expressed
show that it would either create an
absolute censorship of the press or re-
main dead letter from the day that it
should become law. Who shall say
what portion Of the contents Of news
paper Injuries the minds or morals of
the public or of it's readers ?" The pub
LEGATION Of police reports, of prize
fights, Of horse races, of Sunday ball
games,o of the daily stock quotations and
Of social entertainments where wine is
served or where dancing is permitted
would each and all come under this
definition in the minds Of different per-
sons among the readers of almost any
| newspaper. 1t is impossible to set up
GiS ouS1 teSt, BECAUSE the COue OF the
people as to what may be called minor
morals is not fixed one
Courts and juries deal roughly with
! sweeping laws like this in their own
fashion. The question of injuring the
public would be one of fact for the
jury, ard no verdict Of guilty would
ever be found unless in such instances
of paipable violation of the laws of de-
cency as constitute a crime under ex-
listing laws of every civilized commu-
nifty. If this act should be passed, there
fore, it could serve no other purpose
than to stand as the embodiment and
menace of press censorship, to be
used by those in authority in attempted
coercion of newspapers for personal or
party purposes. No doubt that is what
its Republican sponsors have in mind.
