PROBLEMS ~ EXPANSION.
SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THE GOVERN
MENT Is ALREADY CALLED UPON



Washington Dec. 2-The United States Gov
eminent is being called TO face some questions
OF interest resulting from the expansion policy.
The British Government some time before the
annexation Of Hawaii to the United States filed
with the Hawaiian Government a number OF
claims for redress for ill-treatment and Illegal
the revolutionary movement which overthrow
the Queen. These amount 70 several hundred
thousand dollars in the aggregate. and the ques-
ton is. the Hawaiian Government having failed
70 settle them whether the United States Gov
eminent does not inherit liability. The claims
Just such filed by Secretary GreSh-
against the Hawaiian Government in behalf
Of number of alleged American citizens. most
of whom afterward turned out 10 be aliens.
None Of these claims were pressed, but they
formed the foundation for the British claims.
Another question Of more importance is the
determination OF the status of some Of the
newly acquired citizens subjects. Already
Chnaman by BIRTH but Filipino by citizen
ship. has applied for recognition American
citizen. Another Chinaman in Hawaii wants
a passport showing that he Is citizen Of the
United States. The Annexation law prohibits
the coming into the limits of the United States
Of Chinese persons from Hawaii but the con-
stitutiOnality Of any act which proposes TO dis
eliminate among American citizens has been
raised and this Chinaman is a citizen by adop-
ton.
These few OF the questions which have
already arisen. and others are expected to fol-
low in the near future.

T4NnANY'S ARDOR FOR BRIDGES
CERTAIN POLITICIANS NAY BENEFIT BY ONE OF
THE SCHEMES PROPOSED

ftskTAlN POLITICIANS MAY FFNEFIT pN ONE OF
THE SCHEMES PROPOSED
The sudden desire Of Mayor Van Wyck and other
Tammany officials to build two more bridges
the East River has astonished many New
Workers. Surprise may give place Indignation
II Of the reports regarding the cause for the
unexpected bridge boom turn to he true. These
reports raise a suspicion that certain Tammany
politicians and certain Democratic politicians in
Brooklyn will he enriched the expense OF the
city If the plans TO build two bridges car
ried The appropriation Of $4,000 for sound
ings and surveys for the bridges indicates that
IT is the intention Of the Tammany officials 10 push
the bridge projects without loss Of time.
II is RENE mbered that when the franchise
granted by the Legislature TO the East River
Bridge Company. in 1892 there was inserted in the
bill a provision that the right Of construction
should lapse II work done for certain
number OF years. but that the company should con
tinue 10 have "a other rights. privileges and
franchises unaffected" II is remembered. also.
that in 1895. when the bill 10 enable the city 70
build the new East River Bridge. in process
OF construction was passed there was incorpora ted
the provision that ~ corporation shall possess

Of this act. said commissioners may pur-
chase said charter and all the rights and powers
granted thereby from the corporation 80 holding
the same"
Under that provision the city paid 10000 TO the
East River Bridge Company for the right 10 build
the bridge on the site covered by the company !
franchise Now II is explained by the Mayor that
one Of the new bridges may be built between
the BROOKLYN Bridge and the new East River
Bridge and IT is understood that site for such
a bridge is covered ny thu old franchise to the East
River Bridge Company and controlled by a synd-
cate Of Tammany politicians II is believed. there

such i site the payment Of a large sum. such as
5000 % would be necessary and would be practi-
cally gift 70 the politicians controlling the fran
chise.
The excuse for the bridges would be in part
that they would increase rapid transit facilities
between Manhattan and Brooklyn. II is believed
that the Brooklyn trolley ompanies and the ele
waited railway companies would be benefited great

which they have been using the Brooklyn Bridge
has caused many NewYorkers TO fear for the
