TOPICS OF THE DAY,

A very interesting provision of the
proposed Government bill for Ha
waii relates 10 the condemnation OF
private fishing right and opening
the fisheries to citizens upon making
just compensation therefor. The
Treasury of Hawaii will probably
be sorely taxed to carry the burthen
imposed upon it for the property
thus condemned, and the lawyers
will reap rich fees. So mote it be-!
We must pay something for the
privilege OF being citizens OF the
Great Republic, aud after all "vest-
ed rights" are relics OF the old
fashioned days Of ieudalism.

the constitution of the United States

What can be simpler or more eqnit
able than the following dictum:
"The Constitution OF the United
States was designed to meet the re-.
quremeuts of sovereign nation
aud must be construed with refer
ence to recognized principles of
municipal and international law; it
implies the power to acquire terri
tory by cession or conquest, and
that power carries with it all neces-

among these is the power, recognized
by the law of nations and founded
on necessity, to permit, either
through inaction or by positive
provision. the government Of new
ly acquired country to continue for
such reasonable time as may be
deemed MT cessary and proper by the

the country is acquired by conquest
or cession, by treaty or joint re-

BERLIN. Feb. l1.-There has been n revival
Of the assertions that Admiral Diederichs and
his officers have been dIscourteous to Renr
Admiral Dewey and the American officers
Concerning these statements Ambassador
White said to THE SuN correspondent
i do not believe there is word OF truth in
them. Certainly eleven -tweliths Of them are
matters Of etiquette which have been mis-
understood and have been interpreted as an
tagonistic. To an outsider tho bearing of
officers in the respective navies may have at
times appeared stifT and starched but 1t Is un-
derstood by everybody in the service that they
never slgnined discourtesy. Dewey and Mer-
ritt are the men TO spenk ON the bearing OF tho
Germans. and unless they have something to
say discredt the Stories"
A person In the Kniser's confidence has just
been authorized to say that Admiral Diede-
richs was chosen for the Far East because OF
his discretion. coolness and courtesy. I'VE
arc sure that when Admiral Dewey speaks OF
his relations with the German Admiral and
officers he will vindcate them In the eyes 81
the American public"

some sort OF organization after their several
severe defeats. are coming forward to meet the
retreating remnants of the main army. and
with fresh troops. who have not had the oppor-
tunity OF testing the fighting qualities OF the
American troops. to oppose his advance. Gen.
Otis will be obliged to fight his way to the last
stronghold of the insurgents.
Aguinaldo is believed to have retreated from
Caloocan to Marilao. in the rear OF his fighting
line. where he is Assem- bling new forces to meet
