Declared to Be Forfeited.
Call Louis Strauss the bailiff in Judge

case, $50, was forfeited But this did not

tention of Judge Scott to the matter, and
asked that an attachment be issued, which
was done, and upon this writ the man will
be rearrested if the police can find him.
The charge against Straus, as the man
gave his name, was that he stole a pair of
diamond cuff buttons worth $27 from the
store of the Shaw & Berry Jewelry Com
pany, at 18th and F streets northwest, yes
terday afternoon. Policeman Maurice Aus
tin arrested him and took him to the first
precinct station, where a charge of theft
was preferred against him. 1t was the

Cuban Annexation.
From the Galveston News.

1t is said that every Spaniard in Cuba
is In favor of annexation of the island to
the United States. The reason is not hid
den. AS a rule they are property owners
and would rather risk an established re-
publican government than an experimental
government of any kind. In time the mass
of people in the island who own property
win come over to this Spanish way Of
thinking. When they do their first EFFORTS
should be directed to inducing the protected
sugar Industries of this country to permit
the ann6xation, The protected sugar
makers are about the only Americans now
eopposed to It.

Bureau of InsuIar Affairs.

Il desire to call attention to the estimate
sent to the treasury for a bureau or divi-
sion Of the department to have charge Of
insular and other territorial affairs. The
sum asked for is small, in view Of the ex-
tent and Importance of the business relat-
ing to our new possessions, which is divided
principally between the War Department
and this department. and will continue to
be SO for an indefinite time. AS the share
Of this department in such business has
been chiefly advisory, it's work has largely
escaped public attention, but from the be-
ginning Of the controversy with Spain, and
even from the beginning Of the insurrec-
ton in Cuba, there has been a great addi-
ton to the labors and responsibilities OF
the department in connection with the pos
sessions recently belonging to Spain and
with the Hawaiian Islands. No less than
sixty formal opinions have been furnished
by the Attorney General to the President
and heads Of departments concerning ques-
tions arising in connection with these coun-
tries, in addition to opinions concerning
such matters as the organization Of the
army and navy, prizes, etc. The letters,
informal opinions and other items Of busi-
ness attended to have been many times
sixty. This business does not decrease, but
rather the contrary.

changes in the present judicial establish

notable of these is the transfer to the Dis

proposed that the circuit courts, to consist
of the justice of the Supreme Court as

Better Judicial Salaries.

The Attorney General warmly recon-
mends an increase in the salaries of judi
cial officers Of the government Mr.. Knox
submits the views of the codif1cation COM
mission on this question. This report says:
THE present salaries are less than those
paid for like services in the more populous
states; they are intrinsically inadequate in
contemplation of the professional standing
and attachments of the incumbents. and
they operate to the detriment Of the public
in that in some instances they exclude
lawyers of the highest degree Of fitness
from the judicial service of the United
States. 1t Is a fact of frequent occurrence
that practitioner receives a single fee
exceeding the annual salary of the judge
before whom he appears in the cause. The
justices Of the court of last resort in New
York receive $17,500 per year and the
judges of general sessions $4,000. Com
pared with England the contrast is even
more striking and significant. The lord
chief justice has a salary of $4,000, and
each of the judges at nisi prius a salary of
5000. These considerations have exer-
cised a growing influence upon public SEN
timent, and the views Of the legal profess
sion in behalf Of the more adequate COM
pensatfon OF federal judges have been
voiced by the American Bar Association
and like organizations in several of the
states and larger cities Of the Union
