ALL WAR NEWS REMAINS STILL DECIDEDLY SCARCE
1h.x ohI.e. to Flrh,lpr.

NEW YORK, June 16.-A special to
the Tribune from Newport News says:
Those American Line employees aboard
the United States scout ships Yale and
Harvard. who have not already deserted
will be forced to serve out their full
time according to the terms of their
mercantile enlistment. The 600 foreign.
ers aboard the two ships persistently
refuse TO 60 to sea, or if carried by
force, to discharge the duties expected
of them. The British and German
Vice-consuls refused to interfere. The
only course left open for the men is to
desert, and If they do that they can be
apprehended by officers of the law. The
crews are laboring under an Impression
that they will have to go into action
and light the enemy, simply because
both vessels are receiving heavy ar
mament Such is not the case; both
vessels will continue as scout ships, and
the precaution nov being taken is only
to insure against being captured or
destroyed by the enemy without some
means Of resistance.

nHawailan Resolution.

WASHINGTON, June 16.-Five min
utes after the opening of the Senate's
session today, the clerk of the House
delivered the Hawaiian annexation
resolution, passed by the House last
evening. The resolution was referred
to the Committee on Foreign Relations.
Chairman Davis, of the Senate Com
mittee on Foreign Relations, said he
would call meeting of the Committee
tomorrow morning to consider the Ha-
waiian resolution. DAVIS said he ex-
pected the Committee to dispose of the
matter at one sitting and had no doubt
the decision would be favorable to
annexation. If not disappointed, he
will report the resolution tomorrow and
ask the immediate consideration, re-
sistiDg any movement to obtain ad-
journment of the Senate until Monday.
Davis expresses the opinion that the
outlook for action before final adjourn
ment is improving. The present inten
tion is to consider the question in open
legislative session.

Shaking In Their shoe s.


NEW York, June 16.-A dispatch to
the Herald, from Cadiz, via Gibraltar,
says: There is great excitement here,
owing to fears that the American fleet
is coming to Spain. 1t has been de-
cided to send further reinforcements
to tho Balearic Islands, the Canaries
and Ceuta. The reserve squadron,
consisting of two iron clads, one tor
pedo boat, one cruiser and two torpedo
boat destroyers, sailed at dawn yester-
day, but returned in the evening
These mysterious movements are
doubtless intended to mislead, and any
alleged sailing of the fleet should be re-
ceived with the greatest caution. From
hints gathered in official circles, it is
believed that the squadron will sail
singly or in pairs, under sealed orders
to meet at given point, probably on
the high seas.

THE YANKEE IDOL MENACED

The present discontinue and threat
ened ruin of the textile fabric manufac-
turers of New England, through the
successful competition of the new mills
in the south, continues to monopolize
the attention and earnest solicitude of
Yankee editors and Yankee statesmen,
nor is consideration of the situation sub
ordinated by them to the running debate
in congress over honest money and cur
rency reform.
Senator Hoar, on Wednesday, was con-
strained to drag it into the debate over
the Teller resolution, and in the course
of his remarks made some statements
that will bear investigation. He eX-
pressed joy, which we doubt not is sim
cere, that South Carolina, Alabama and
Georgia We're having industrial pros

would not be drawn into competition

ployed in the factories. "These prac-
tees" he declared, ARE not known in
New England, where limited hours foi
workmen and no child labor are pro-
vided for by the law"
AT this moment something like one
hundred and twenty-five thousand oper-
atives in New England cotton mills are
on strike against the favorable condi-
tions which the venerable Massachu-
sets senator inferentially suggests now
obtain there, and which are threatened
/ by the competition of southern labor

! But if this is not an answer to his
plant, we have before us a copy of the
Burlington Free Press of recent date
which significantly remarks:

capitalists to the fact that they can

QUESTION OF MORALITY

The Ohio senatorial bribery investiga-
ton wakes warm and as the coils begin
to tighten about Mr.. Hanna he raises the
question of jurisdiction, claiming that
the United States senate is the sole judge
of the qualification of it's members, and
that it alone is authorized to question
the methods by which he. secured his
election.
Technically this may be true, but an
honest man, with a clear conscience and
blameless record, would have filed this
protest to legislative inquiry at its in
ception, rather than after it had pro-
ceeded so far as to badly smirch him by
it's developments, in spite of the fact
that he is ably and strongly represented
on the board of inquiry.
1t is in especially bad taste, also, be-
cause, by his precipitancy in connecting
God with the result, he relieves it, so far
as he may, of political significance, and
makes it question of morality.
We are willing to concede that a
legislature which had to be paid for
carving out it's instructions is not fit
to deal with such a question, but we at
the same time marvel that Mr.. Hanna
should not in this emergency depend
upon the potency of his purse in again
purchasing it. in preference to appealing
to a body politically stacked against
him. He doubtless flatters himself that
inasmuch as no seat in the senate has
ever vet been declared forfeited because
secured by illegal and immoral practices,
precedents will not be reversed in his
case. and that he will be allowed to en-
joy in peace that which he has bought
and dearly paid for.

Sensible People

The people of Los Angeles, in their de-
sire to secure municipal ownership of the
water plant recognize the wisdom of deal
ing justly with the corporation owning
that plant. and abiding in an honorable
manner with the terms of a contract be-
tween the city and the company. The
ot-headed mayor of the Angel city pro-
posed to seize the company's property, re-
gardless of the justice of the case, but
that official was not supported by public
opinion in his absurd proposition. The de-
sire of Los Angeles people appears to be
to treat the water company decently and
not to attempt to confscate it's property
after the manner of a road agent. The
disposition is manifested to give the water
company such consideration as it is le
gally entitled to. Such a disposition does
not mean that any eXtravagant price Is
to be paid for the plant, nor that the city
intends to browbeat the company into the
acceptance of a consideration for the
property which is less than it's value. The
aim is to ascertain exactly the value of the
company's property, and upon that basis
to negotiate in a sensible, business-like
manner for its requirement by the city.
No square dealing municipality nor water
company can object to such a procedure
and it is along such lines as this that an
amicable and satisfactory transfer of the
property can be secured.-San Diego
Tribune.

THE HERALD'S LIBEL SUIT
A Grain of Allowance

When one newspaper man sues aholhei
for libel the public takes the allegation oil
damage with many grains of allowance
and now that Harry Patton is to bring
The Herald to the bar of the superior
court for slander and to demand molliiica-
ton in the sum of $4,000. the public will
ask how much the charge that Patton
received $1,000 to withdraw from the con-
gressional ice differs in degree of libel,
even If untrue, from the charges of every
thing disreputable in politics made against
Colonel Otis in last weeks Capital. Pat
ton is a good fellow and makes friends
wherever he appears, but II he has dictated
the articles regarding the school board
scandal recently appearing in the Call IL
is no wonder he has called down the wrath
of a decent public upon himself and his

not but if general opinion is reliable, there
