To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: There are
In Virginia, or rather there anne to Virginia IN
the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, many
families logitimately descended/from the blood
royal of England. Among these were Fleete.
Digges, Rcade. Throckmorton, Wyatt. &c.
ROYAL blood" can DO legitimately derived in
many ways. the chief among these being:
tagenet. third Earl OF Lancaster grandson of Henry III.
g. Thomas do Brotherton, Duke Of Norfolk, son Of
Edward L.. whose only daughter married John Baron
segrave, from whom sprang the ducal house OF Nor
8. Princess Joan d'Acre. daughter Of Edward l.,
who married Gilbert de Glare, Earl OF Gloucester.
4. Lionel. Duke OF Clarence. son of Edward ILL.,,
whose only daughter married Edmund Mortimer,
Earl of March.
this country derive.
Any one looking over this list will see that
there are many ways that royal descent may
be legitimately derived. and when YOU take
into consideration the fact that they all left de-
scendants who married into various families.
and that this all took place between 300 and 600
years ago, is there any wonder that there are
many, many families that can trace ~legitimately
to Kings Of England Not that there is any ad.
vantage in that, but it is a fact as true as his.
tory and is interesting in n genealogical way.
The people who have written letters to the press
with the sneer of illegitimate descent at the
founders of the 'Order of the Crown" only
show their ignorance of English history.
I believe an investigation would prove that n
social standing in England since the fifteenth
century can trace to one or more Of the Kings
mentioned above. VIRGINIA.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sirt The letter
in H SUN of March 8. signed H." respecting
the House of Refuge, is plausible in its state
ments. but misleading. Therefore. in q matter
Of so much Importance your readers are entitled
to the facts, which are these:
l. The law enacted in 1896, extending tho age
of commitment to 10 years. is as follows,
"Where q male person of the age of 16 years
and under the age of 10 years is convicted of
crime not amounting to a felony, the trial court
may direct him to be confined in q house of
refuge" Hence vicious. hardened criminals

by the conduct records Of the i .stitution.
2. These facts rofute the statement that " the

Mr.. ROWLAND BLENNERHAssETT MAHA-
NY, the Representative in Congress from
the Thirty-second New York district, re-
Gently lied about THE SUN by asserting
In the course of a speech in the House, that
MI. j. PIERPoNT MORGAN owned 176 out
of the $50 shares in this newspaper.
Having been convicted Of this lie, he gives
u%tterance, likewise upon the floor of Con-
Rress, to another. or rather q series OF
other lies, backed up again by his worthy
partner In such bus mess, WH1TELAw REID,
of the Nep York. Tribune, to the effect
that Mr.. MORGAN "controls" 176 shares
Of THE SUN.
This assertion as to the ownership or
control of THE SUN by Mr.. MORGAN would
be no reproach in the eyes Of intelligent
persons, but it is intended as O reproach
when put forth by persons like MAHANY
and REID. And inasmuch as the assertion
Is designed by such slanderers to injure
THE SUN, and is wholly untrue, we en-
phatically denounce It as false, IN declare
the men who utter 1t to be persistent liars.
Mr.. PIERPoNT MORGAN. so far as we
know, has never either owned, or coz
trolled in any sense of the word, or had
subject to any claim or lien of any name or
nature in his behalf, q single share of SUN
stock. We make the same assertion re-
Rarding the late Mr.. w. r. WALTERS. whom
MAHANY has lied about in the way he has
lied about Mr.. MORGAN. A majority of
The Suns shares, numbering III, were
owned at the close of Mr.. DANA's life by
himself, Mr.. THOMAS HITCHCOCK and Mr..
PAUL DANA, and through a recentpurchase
of Mr.. HIToHcocK's holding by Mr.. PAUL
DANA the latter now owns, individually
and as trustee for Mr.. CHARLES A. DANA's
family, free and clear and absolutely, those
i77 shares.

and az pure q government as can be found
in any country" strengthens his desire 70
admit her to our Union.
But while such considerations are offsets
to what Mr.. BRYCE thinks TO be the dangers
threatened in annexing Hawaii, q special
point is made by Senator MORGAN on the
question Of our national duty. He believes
that the immigration Of Asiatic races into
Hawaii will be such that at some future
day, not distant, the monarchy will be re.
stored, unless we annex the islands. II
result, he believes, will be a relapse toward
barbarism, and certainly toward that
policy Of opium licenses, lottery charters,
ov%ertaxation of capital, and arbitrary acts
of the monarch that led to the downfal OF
the throne. Wealthy holders Of leased
lands will join the monarchical scheme In
order to convert them into fee.simple
estates, through the corruption of the
monarch and the Cabinet, and the virtual
conf1scation of the property Of our country
men will, in Mr.. MoReAN's opinion, follow.
To prevent such a submergence of Hawaii
beneath the overflow of Asiatics he regards
as our clear duty, apart from the advan-
tages which annexation would give us. As
to these last he holds that, with Hawaii
ours, we can ~"rapid!y build up at Honolulu
a commercial mart like Hong Kong" Ger
tainly annexation will clearly bring bene-
fits to both sides.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1898-03-06
Our Duty Toward Hawaii.

The friendly advice which Mr.. JAMES
BRYCE lately gave to our countrymen,
through the Forum, concerning the dan.
gers that would attend their acquiring of
Hawaii has prompted Senator MORGAN to
consider, in the same magazine, our duty
to annex hat archipelago.
Promising that Mr.. BRYCE finds no occa-
sion for c%autioning the British people
against the danger of extending their W
dominion in foreign lands, and does not
even intimate that Great Britain would
hesitate to adopt Hawaii as a colony of her
own, II she could get it, Senator MORGAN
proceeds to say that our duty in the case is
analogous to that of one who has adopted a
son without giving him legal rights. and
afterward desires to give him such rights.
For we have certainly long professed to
hold a special relation toward Hawaii,
strengthening it by repeated treaties. so thai
she cannot to-day dispose even of her public
property to any other power, except by our
consent. The settlement of Americans In
Hawaii, their control of its resources,
the vast pr~eponderance, in its total com-
merce, of hat which is with our country,
the ties OF intermarriage with our people,
the value of the Hawaiian group in the
growing trade of the Pacific. its strategic
Importance, as set forth by Capt. MAHAN
and others, are additional reasons for our
annexing Hawaii, while Senator MoRGAN's
personal observation of the character and
tanners of the native people, the degree of
public education, the respect paid to re-
ligion and the existence there of "as good

conflicting claims of Germany and Russia
by sacrifice Of bohemia, Morayia, and Aus
trian Silesia to the former power, while
Galicia, which contains about 100000
Poles, might be turned over to Russia, and q
part at least Of the Dalmatian seacoast be
given to the Prince of Montenegro, who
is practically the Cars vassal. What, 1t
may be asked, would France get in return
for assisting Russia to secure a part OF the
Hapsburg inheritance3 What she would
want, no doubt, would be Alsace-Lorraine,
and IL Germany made great accessions on
the southeast the latter power might con-
sent to a certain pairing of her borders on
the southwest. Or, IL the surrender Of AL
sace-Lorraine seemed uncomfortable, Kaiser
WILHELM II. might acquiesce In an occu-
patton by France of Belgium, or, at all
events, of the Fre~nch.speaking provinces
Of that kingdom.
Unquestionably, the inference may DO
drawn from the speech Of M. DEsoHANEL
that France and Russia have agreed not to
permit the German Empire to be augmented
by the 100000 Germans of the Cisleithan
kingdom, much Less by 100000 Czechs
and by the inhabitants of the northern and
eastern coasts of the Adriatic, unless they
receive compensatory concessions.

More ~"Licenses."

One OF the Albany representatives in the
Assembly has come forward with a bill
which may be said to still further advance
that form of ~paternallsm in government
which seeks to license" as many indiyid-
uals as possible to make them amenable to
what is e~uphoniously called Estate con.
troll" This Is a bill providing for an ex-
amining Board of Electricians to examine
and license" those having to do with
electricity in any form. and requiring the
payment of an annual fee OF SD for such
certificate. The Board of Licensing Elec-
tricians will offer opportunities for public
service, at the public expense, of sundry
statesmen who might otherwise not be EN-.
ployed either In the supervision of elec.
tricians or in any branch of State super.
vision over blacksmiths, drug clerks. horse.
shoers, awning makers, canal boatmen,
bridge tenders, roof repairers, insurance
agents, or picture trainers.
Another bill is pending in Albany for the
establishment Of a Board of Examiners to
issue certificates to men and boys en-.
ployed In the operation of passenger eleva-
tors, and there has been some talk, desul-
tory as yet, of bringing the newsboys
under State control" in order that the
qualifications and fitness of each may be
nscertained by some established competi-
tive test and certificates issued to appli-
cants, revokable on written notice and
after a hearing by the Board of Examiners,

would be derived from the public funds,
and whose places would be filled by indi-
viduals chosen generally from the always
large ranks Of persons who, without State
aid, are in the chronic condition OF being
tout of a Job"
In two particulars recent Legislatures In
New York have maintained a remarkable
equality in adding, on the one hand, to
the number, of those persons required by
law "to have licenses" and, on the other
hand, in adding to, by multiplying exemp.
tions, the number Of those who are re.
lieved from what ought to be regarded as
one of the normal obligations of citizen
ship, Jury service. Every successive Legis.
lature, and apparently it does not make
much difference what Is the politics of a
majority of it's members, extends the num-
Der of those exempted from jury service,
increasing the burden of service on others,
and demands licenses from more people. The
number of electricians, limiting the desig.
nation to those who are experts In the knowl-
edge of the uses of the electric current, Is
small, but under the enlarged and constant.
ly increasing uses of electricity, the number
of persons indirectly, collaterally, or remote.
ly concerned with electric appliances is so
large as to include a very considerable por.
ton of the whole working population, and
IL the Legislature has in view the setting
up of a license board for trolley gripmen,
hello girls, l~amplighters, cooks, and jan.
itors, the force Of license commissioners
would soon attain the size Of an army.

the canals. Where the element Of time IL
unimportant, transportation by water IL
uniformly cheaper. and sometimes more de-
sirable, than by steam cars, and during the
last ten or fifteen years many millions of
dollars have been appropriated by the Fed
eral Government In improving the facilities
Of lake commerce, In broadening the chan
nels Of rivers, and In promoting internal
generally. Such expenditures,
supplemented by like expenditures by tho,
States, more particularly New York, Mich
igan, and Illinois, have necessitated either
q reduction Of rates or large OUTLAWS by the
railroad companies for improved service.
In the United States nearly 800, 900 tele-
phones are now in use, with 100000 miles
of telephone wire, $4,000 telephone sta
tions, and, It is said, nearly 3,O00,O 900
telephone messages daily. In many cases
where formerly the transaction of business
involved a railroad journey, the telephone
renders 1t unnecessary, and accordingly the
passenger receipts of railroads have suffered
to q considerable extent, at least their
normal growth has been checked. 1t is
noticeable that where the telephone service
is imperfect or undeveloped this effect
Is not marked.
The Post Office Department transports in
a year over 15.O0O,O 900 pounds of fourth.
class mail matter, or merchandise and
samples, and goods formerly sent by ex-
press over railroad lines ut considerable
profit to them are now sent by post atTates
materially less than the express charges.
In spite Of all these obstacles-the reduc-
tion of local traffic by the competition of
the trolley lines, the Government OUTLAWS
on water improvements, the extension of,
telephones, n the Increase of fourth-class
mail matter-the railroads of the United
States have maintained their efficiency
and have vastly improved their service,
and also lave reduced their rates, thus
justifying the very favorable comments of
foreign students of their operation. The
railroads Of the United States carried last
year moro than 500 900 passengers
and more than $4,000, 900 tons of freight,
earning more than a billion and a quarter
dollars from passenger freights and mail
service, and making an approximate net
profit of 81, 600, 900 a day.
