A Step in the Right Direction.

A Step in the Right Direction.
The people of Seattle will commend
| heartily the action OF the mayor in de-
claring an emergency and authorizing
the appointment Of ten additional police
men, with accompanying vigorous in
structions to the chief OF police to clear
| the city Of disorderly characters and
| criminals. 1t is in harmony with the
earnest recommendation made by the
Post-Intelligeneer on Sunday, and il is
o first step which we hope to see follow
ed by others in this direction.
The rush to Alaska has begun al
ready. Every day sees the addition to
our population OF scores or hundreds Of
people intending to go north at the
earliest possible moment. IN their train
&C mes the advance guard of criminals
and toughs who regard this as their OPP
portunity. The beginning Of the move
ment TO Cape Nome has been
watched no more carefully by the in
tending treasure hunter than il has been
by those disorderly characters who live
by their wits or by raids upon the prop
erty Of others. News reports show that
a small army Of these have wintered in
Chicago. and taxed the efforts OF its po-
lice force to hold them In check. They
are turning In this direction, AMI we
need TO be ready to welcome them with
the pol!ceman's club and revolver.
Much depends upon the opening OF the
campaign. These law-breakers are. af-
ter all. cowardiy lot. They are bull
lies rather than desperadoes, and they
either go around or hasten through the
centers where 1t Is known that an ade-
quate force is waiting and that prison
cells are yawning for them Almost all
OF the more serious outrages upon per-
son or property come from this floating
population. 1t Is importan. to have n
force that can handle them from the
beginning. and make the very name Of
Seattle a terror to their whole frater-
nifty.
The appointment OF ten additional pa
trolmen assures more adequate protec-
ton. 1t should be supplemented, when
ever necessary. with such other addi-
tions as the public security seems to
require. Our police force is not yet nu-
merically as large as the actual popu-
!ation Of the city would warrant. Even
then. he next few months NAV and
probably will create an emergency when
still further steps should be taken to
hold lawlessness rigidly in check The
CHEF OF police Is cooperating enersst-
icelly in the policy OF closing an iron
hand upon crime In this community.
Let us inaugnrate, by whatever meas
urcs my be necessary such a reign of
terror among the rogues that they will
either choose some other route 70 heir
chrssn field OF operations or pass
through this city withlthe swiftness and
stealth OF the criminal who knows sha.
the agents OF the law are hot upon his
track. This is the first and most i'm
portsnt duty contained In a policy az
honest enforcement of the law. and the
authorities will have the Endorsement
and support OF all our people in per-
forming II with the utmost thorough
ness and expedition.

MIR. T. II. ALDRICH's VIEWS

In the hotel Hobbies column of the Wash dngton Post of Saturday Appears the fol- lowing:
 ''We are making cotton goods for export to China and building Corliss engines and sugar machinery for use in the Hawaiian Adrich, of Alabama to a Post reporter at the Shoretam.
 Birmingham iron goes not only to every state in the union, but to countries as dis tant as Australia. Our people see the ad- vantage of having the. markets of the world, and hence the popularity of the ex- pansion doctrine as set forth by Senator Morgan. I should say that Alabama would quickly join the ranks of republicanism but for the race question that has hitherto operated to keep the south solid A great many democrats are beginning to believe that the continuance of republican rule is far better for the business of the whole country.
 "Ogr senatorial fight promises to be bit terlya contested, and on account of the desperate nature of the contest between Messrs. Morgan and Johnston 1t may be that, a dark horse will be chosen United States senator. My idea of the situation is that while Senator Morgan has large majority of the best class of democrats on his side, Governor Johnston has a stronger ro1f plain people. His strength with this ele- ment is surprising, and has not been fully recognized by his competitors. Ex-Gov- ernor Oates is nominally in the race, but will not prove a very formidable candi- date.p

Believes a Secret Treaty Exists

Berlin, December a.-Despite the semi official disavowals, several of tne leading German papers believe in the existence of a secret treaty concerning Delagoa Bay, but they discredt the statements of the Lokal Anzeiger regarding it's nature. The Hamburgisher correspondent says:
 'FThe treaty has no definite form, and it would only come into force in case Por- tugal should consent to sell a portion of her colonies It is confined solely to her African possessions. Russia has seen the treaty and has offered TO objections"

PRESS CONDEMNS ACTION
The Right of Great Britain to Stop Pas sengers, Whether Going to Fight for the Boers or Not, is
 Questioned

Berlin, December Safeguarding the seizure by the British cruiser Magiciene of the Bundesrath of the German East Afri- can line, a high official of the German for eign office who was interviewed by the cor respondent of the Associated Press today said:
 "Silence must be preserved at present concerning the actual status of the nego- tiations which have been begun with Great Britain about the matter. Appropriate steps have been taken, of which Germany must await the receipt. The matter is re- garded by Germany as of the utmost im- portance because seriously involving the rights of neutrals."
 This afternoon the foreign secretary, Count Von Buelow conferred at the for eign office with his official advisers and then reported to the emperor. cabinet meeting will consider the seizure.
 It is also asserted in government cir cles that the British right of search is questioned and that in any event the Brit ish right to stop passengers, whether they intend to fight for the Boers or not, is strenuously disputed, as the vessels upon which they were is neutral and the terri tory to which they were proceeding, name ly Delagoa Bay, Is also neutral. Redress, it is asserted, will be insisted upon by Ger many.
 The German press today unanimously condemns British action in the Bundesrath seizure, which is characterized as an in stance of gross insolence, and as "calcu- lated again to illustrate the need of a powerful German navy :, to render such overbearance on the part of England inn possible in the future.'
 The National Zeitung strongly argues England had no right to interfere with the Bundesrath and expresses the hope that she has not adopted a flexible theory re- garding contraband.
