The two opposing forces with regard
to harbor extension appeared before
Major Langfitt of the harbor survey
board yesterday and laid their ideas
before him. Major Langfitt explained
the plans that he and his commission
ers had formed. They do not agree
entirely with either of the proposals
made by the local people. The fact
that the federal government is para
mount in harbor matters will become
gradually more and more apparent as
time goes on. 1t is a good thing for
it does away with much local bicker-
ing. and as harbor here is of national
importance it assures us of the very
best that can be done, arranged for by
minds accustomed to deal with broad
things on broad lines and not narrowed
down by an hereditary tendency to a
6top-gap system.

Boston has divided itself into two
hostile camps to which the quarrel of
the Big Endians and the Little Endi-
ans in Liliput is as nothing. 1t is feud,
deadly, rancorous feud among them.
The cause-Sparrows. Mayor Quincy
upon the representation of several hun
dred citizens, including doctors, zoolo-
gists, professors, and one bishop, or
dered that the sparrows nests should
be destroyed. But no sooner had the
mayors minions got to work than those
who We're not doctors, clergymen, ZOO
lOgists, professors or even bishons,
started a vigorous protest, so vigorous
that eleven columns of the Boston
Transcript were filled with their lucu-
brations. They defend the sparrows
tooth and nail, and deride the mayor
and the doctors, etc, including the
bishop, who object to sparrows. Talk
of Brandenburg's celebrated War Of
the Cow" it is as nothing to Bostons
Battle of the Sparrows."

LABOR.

In the matter of the labor question It
is very little good at this stage of the
game to recriminate and say what
should have been done, or what should
not have been done. The past is past
and no amount of talking will make it
the present To use a vulgarism Chew
ing the rag" is not the way to meet
difficulties. The proper method is to
face them. The labor question is vi
tai one with us, upon it hinges our
prosperity Our present system may
be swept away at breath We had
better have it discussed as to the flu
ture and leave the past to take care
of itself.
Among our prominent men there
must be some who can offer solution.
1t is not the government that is in a
hole, it is the entire industrial commu-
nifty that is in a hole. The Star has
every belief that a happy solution will
be found, and that our new born pros
perity is not going to be strangled in
it's birth. 1t is no good saying I'VE
can't" when force Of circumstances,
over which we have no control, says
you must" and out of our difficulties
we must come. 1t is hard for men to
give up any system, everything seems
to work smoothly and any change
would apparently knock it out of
gear But the change will have to be
made, and the machinery will be found
to work just as smoothly once it gets
into working order.

The experiments in wireless telegra-
ply are being carried on on both sides
of the Atlantic The war department
at Washington is entering upon the
subject and confidently expects to be
able to communicate with Fort Meyer.
Marconi has made a success of his ex-
periments across the English channel
The Germans are alive to the import
ance of the application of the discov-
cry, Situated as we are wireless tie
legraphy across our channels would be
an immense boon to us Within a few
weeks we could have installed a sys-
tenn which would readily put us into
communication with Mahukona, Kaa-
napali, and some parts of Molokai,
and thus bringing within range
any part of the Islands of Maui
and Hawaii. For once reach the
Islands and the telephone system of
each is at the command of the receiver.
The expense is not high, and it is a
venture that any business man might
be proud to enter upon, 1t would rev.
olutionize the methods of inter-island
business.

That the High school should be a
free school has been advocated by The
Star time and time again, and by the
editor long before he assumed his pres
ent position. 1t has always been point
ed out as wrong that the state should
charge for any of it's schools State
education should be free. If people
want select schools they are welcome
TO them, but they must pay for them
out of their own pockets. There is no
objection to select schools, but there
is an objection to select schools at the
expense of the state. We tax every
body directly for the Schools, and ev-
erybody should have the right OF free

use of the schools which he is taxed
to support. Whenever this has been
proposed, however, there has been a
wall of holy horror and pious grief in
government circles. For too strong
advocacy of this principle one member
of the board became persona non grata
and was not recommissioned 1t must
be pleasing to that individual to see a
veering round into the direction of en-
tirely free schools.

governments theory is that Kong Chung is not Kong Chung, but his nephew; that Kong Chung, about 1894, went back to China ard remained there, and that his nephew availsd himself Of his certificate to cone into the country. The written description of the person holding a certificate is 9rdinaGfIy not so definite that it may not be a description Of one who in 3 general way resembles him. The pho- tograph, though, is supposed to clinch
 he description. But the photograph 0n Kong Chung's certificate appears to be of later dace than the certificate. It is not pasted upon u but has been fastened with pin, 8 circUm stance accounted for by Kong Chung saying hat it became accidentally detached.
 The most damaging thing against he defendant is his entire ignorance # the English language and his in- Ibility to satisfactorily account for himself during his alleged residence in Phoenix Besides this, in attempting
 0 do so he told varying stories, so

MAY NOT ACCEPT
Admiral Dewey Hay Decline II
 Gift of House.

Washington, May 25.-The feeling is growing in Washington stkat it IS doubtful if AdmiT;5I Dewey will accept the gift of a house. There are several reasons for this, the pIindpal ore be- ing that there seems to bs a lack Of spontaneity in the contributions. Al though the ccQmittee appointed to re ceive subscrip ipioas has been organized for several days. there does net sesm to be very great desire to contribute, and up to date less than $5,000 has bscn received. l. must also be con fessed that there $ some little friction among members cG the committee, q number Of them opposing the idea of soliciting contributions. It was the original idea that the public would be so glad to contribute the fund that the money would flow into une treasury without effort or solicitation. The plan to allow postmasters, national banks and public institutions to pass around the ha|' is not pleasing to many. and navy officers who know Admtral Dewey do not hesitate to say

The methods or the Spaniards in war might be called intermittent. They would have a fight one day and rest the next, have g battle on the third and so on. When there was an en- counter the Spaniards would fire vol ley and the FIlipipos would retreat. Then the Spaniards would take Q rest, smoke cigarettes or have 3 lunch and after a s:csta the F7iIipino5 would gather together together again and fire on the enemy The natives were not accustomed to a continuous battle, and the American system of fighting has completely denCraIized them.
