Although the project to annex Hawaii Is
not now in q form which puts tho Hon. CUsH-
MAN K. DAVIS into the place of supremacy he
has occupied before with relation to this enter
prise, nevertheless his prestige as Chairman Of
the Committee on Foreign Relations imposes
upon him the duty of leading the campaign with
untiagging and aggressive determination I'M.
calledfo by the usual habits OF the Senate. He
must struggle and push toward the common
success without quarter to the obstructionists
standing in the way. The ordinary amenities
of Senatorial courtesy in time of peace in con-
nection with indifferent measures must be fore
gone, and the business of Hawaiian annexation
must be taken up vigorously and prosecuted
with a stern and ~sleepless understanding of the
imperative reasons for accomplishing 1t.

american Correspondence OF tho London EcononIst.
The battle now being fought on the question OF tho
annexation OF the Haw ali Islands ignores the .act
that tho Hawaiian Islands are nearer to our coast
than was California at the time OF Its acouisition.
and It is fairly safe to ndI that tn, result of tho con.
Met over the question OF annexation Will ultimately
be that the Hawaiian Islands will become q part OF
the United StatcS. When that time arrives the In.
nuonce OF their acquisition will be IA marked one. go
far as our foreign trade is concerned. With the
Philippines under tho American nag at the opposite
side OF the world, the Sandwich Islands and, possibly.
the Carolines ours. we will have fairly brldced tn.
Pacihc. and undoubtedly a cable will follow.
When one recalls that America's trade with China
is second only TO that OF Great Britain aud exceeds
that Of Germany. which is making SO great an effort
10 fguro prominently in the partition or tho Chinese
Empire. our having bridgod the Pacific aud placed
the American nag on the Hawaiian and Philippine
islands Will naturally tend to give the United States
a much more important position among I'll. nations
OF tue earth than hhe has thus far been accorded.
That such a day is not far on seems b oyOnd question;
that we Will, as II na,ion. take more than a passive
interest In what the family OF nations ia doluR seemS
to be manifest destiny.

Anti-Anne1stionists of Two Countries

On June 10 there appeared in the Cologne
Gazette, a journal that expresses peculiarly
what Wl.feeling exists in Germany toward
America, the blunt opinion that 1.-THE
Americans are not even prepared to defend
their own coasts against a naval power Of
any Importance" The Cologne Gazette did
not disclose its hope that America never
would have the navy required. We sup
ply the idea that was lacking in order that
American anti-annexationists, or, as they
call themselves, anti.imperialists, opposed
to our possession OF Hawaii as we'll as OF
the Philippines, may see how like they arc
to German enemies of the United States.
american anti.Annexationists, like anti
American Germans, are against the policy
Of an American navy. They are found in
opposition to tho building of every new
ship. Ono OF their first and most trusted
arguments Is that taking the Sandwich
Islands or tho Philippines under the
Stars and Stripes will necessitate q navy.
They arc against them all. Not all the foes
to our national progress and welfare vote
In Germany, or in Spain.
The American people as Q whole, know.
ing tho hand Of opposition when raised
among themselves as unmistakably as
when It is raised In Germany, desire the
annexation of Hawaii, the Philippines, and
all that we may win from Spain, and q

plain why Ht was DELAYED.
President George Gould of the Manhattan
Elevated Railroad received at noon yesterday
the letter President Orr wrote to him on June o.
This letter had been printed in the newspaperS,
but had failed to reach Mr.. Gould, Last Satur.
day Mr.. Gould wrote to Mr.. Orr asking him why
he had not received the letter OF juno 0. and ro-
colved a reply from Mr.. Orr to the effect that
no letter had boon mailed to him on juno 8. but
that ono had been sont on juno 10. "ThiS COM
munication was delivered at your Office by .
special messenger on Saturday, the 18th inst.
before 10: 80 o'clock" concluded Mr.. Orr. As
your letter of Saturday is postmarked IL
o'clock and must, therefore, have been dictated
and mailed considerably before that hour, 1t 10
quito evident that my letter, dated, the 10th
inst, was not In your hands when you wrote"
This statement OF Mr.. Orr aroused the ire Of
all the officials Of the Manhattan road. 40 they
declare that no official communication was ro-
celved by them on Saturday afternoon. Mr..
Gould signed the letter at Defmonico's between
0 and 10 o'clock on Saturday night. and mailed
It Immediately. The Post Office authorities do
Glare that there 10 no such postmark az "l2
o'clock" but that tho mark shows whether tho
letter was posted at noon or midnight Mr..
Gould says that tho letter was postmArked 90 to
show that II was mailed at midnight instead Of
at noon. as Mr.. Orr minated in his letter.

Our Unequallod Transit Facilities.

The report Of the State Railroad Commits.
sioners for 1897 shows that the total re.
ceipts for the fiscal year of the various
railroads within the New York city Dor
oughs OF Manhattan and Bronx were $685..
OO0, 900, of which $11, 500, 900 was collect
ed by cable companies or their branches and
extensions, $3,5OO,O0O by horse-car lines
which have not adopted mechanical trac-
tion and are not operated subsidiary to the
cable lines, and $75OtOOO by roads utiliz.
ing the overhead trolley, the remainder be-
ing represented by the revenues of elevated
or surface steam railroad companies. Since
the consolidation of Brooklyn and other
territory with New York, particularly since
the steam and electric roads of Kings
county were brought upon tho Brooklyn
Bridge, there has been an enormous increase
In the conveniences of travel In New York,
the gradual disuse of horses on many lines,
conspicuously the Second and Fourth ave-
nues in Manhattan, being n notable factor
in the improvement.
The receipts of all the railroads-stenm,
electric and horse, surface and elevated
In New York city for 1898 will hardly fall
short Of $4,000. 900. The introduction
of the system Of transfer tickets on the sur
face lines, and Of express trains on the
Elevated lines, and now the running Of
through trains to Coney Island on the
Fifth Avenue line of the Brooklyn Ele-
waited Railroad. in forty minutes from the
New York City Hall and at the fare of ten
cents, have vastly increased these means
of serving the convenience Of the public.
No city in this country, and no city in
any other country, can now compete with
New York in cheap, prompt, p~leasurable,
healthful, and extensive transit facilities.
The improvements in the methods Of hand
ling passenger traffic within the city, in
Guiding the vastly better cars, greater
speed for the running, far more regularity
of service. decreased cost, more trains,
cars, and seats, have been well.nigh mar
vellous during the last ten years. More
over, the enormous passenger traffic thus
provided for is exempt from accidents to a
degree that gives peculiar distinction to the
service.
1t Is the fashion to complain. Let us
sometimes stop to think of what We have
reason to be grateful for In this fine old
town Of ours. Even now every passenger
cannot get a seat at the crowded hours,
but 1t Is not within the range of possibili-
ties that such should be the case, with the
circumstance being as they are and as they
must continue to be in New York.

MEN who Want Co smoke Mast rake Trains 0A
the Other SIDE or the River.
None Of those Brooklyn elevated trains
which cross the bridge has q smoking car %.
tached. This is tho result of an order of the
bridge authorities that there shall BIO no smok.
ing in cars while they are on the bridge. The
elevated road authorities found It easier to run
only smokerless trains over the bridge than to
attempt to stop men in smokers from smoking
while trains were crossing the river. The guards
had lots of trouble yesterday in explaining tho
absence OF smoking cars to mon who got on the
trains on this side of the river.
The Same orders were issued to the trolley car
companies when they began running cars over
the bridge. The conductors tried for a few days
to stop passengers in rear seats from smoking
while the cars were on tho bridge. but they
found it very troublesome and they met with
little success. 1t is said that smokers on trolley
cars now smoke unmolested. The elevated
road passengers are aware or this and It is said
tho officials of the road md tho bridge authori-
ties may come to some agreement SO that trains
with smoking cars attached may be allowed to
cross tho river.
