Judge Perry rendered a decision yes

PAYMENT OF THE FIRE CLAIMS.

Our success in the passage by Con-
gress of the Fire Claims bill is rather
uncommon event in the history Of Con-
gressional legislation. 1t Is due to sew
eral causes. The very conservative
awards made by the commissioners re-
moved from the minds of Congressman
any suspicion that they were exagger-
ated. In addition to this, the influence
of the japanese and Chinese embassies
in Washington was extremely powerful.
This influence reached Congress
through the Executive and state De-
partments. AS the Chinese ana Jap
anese interests in the claims were large,
the payment of a partial payment OF
them by the United States put the ma
ton in the position Of doing a friendly
ana generous act toward subjects of
a monarch with whom we desire to be
on the best of terms. The! generosity of
Congress will not be forgotten; it was
an act Of inexpensive diplomacy.
Aside from this. the influence of the
Republican party within the Territory
strengthened the presentation Of the
claims. Party interests are a strong
make-weight In Congressional matters.
The integrity of the claims enabled the
Republicans in Congress to do the Re-
publicans Of Hawaii a good turn.

SHALL We DISPUTE
The Opinions of Scores of
Our Fellow Citize, S.

Residents or Honolulu, like otner
American citizens, In making an In
vestment want to be sure Of getting the
worth of their money. They want to
know all the why's and wherefores, and
In a direct ratio to the value OF the IN
vestment they burrow and ferret until
satisfied with the collateral. Take an
instance In the realm OF proprietary
articles. If we know of a friend who
has been cured we have some faith in
the preparation: If we know Of two or
three our faith increases. If the cures
reach scores all well known citizens

NATIONAL DEfENsEs.

The Cabinet, in view OF possible efher-
sencies growing out OF the Nenezueian
question, has approved the proposal vi
the War Department to strengthen ,he
coast defenses. Quite likely the plan
vii, include the building of new forts IN
important strategic points not now pro-
yided for, circumstance which shouio
benefit Hawaii Porto Rico and the
Philippines. In general way the A.
lantic. Gulf and Pacific coasts Oh the
mainland are well-protected, the ue-
lenses embraced in the Endicott scheihe
being admirably planned. One may
look to see, however, a substantlal III
crease in the number of high-powereu
guns and of artillery regiments. Inc
new Army bill calling for an expendl-
ture Of 81, 100000 shows that Congress
Is awakening to all the needs OF the
service. -I .-
In the matter of ships as much or
more is required than in the matter
of shore defenses; but a condition pre-
cedent should be the enlistment OF more
officers and men. Germany has 4o,ooo
trained seamen; the United states
P3. 900. 1t is the duty of Congress 10
bring the personnel of the Navy up
TO such a standard that when ships are
built they can be adequately manned
and Differed. In such thorough prep
aration for war is guarantee of peace
Despite the disquieting signs at
Washington, the Advertiser does not
believe that any power will go to ex-
IRENE lengths over the Venezuelan
Question so long as France maintains
her present attitude and in view of the
popular desire in Great Britain to act
with the United States in all matters
not exclusively american or British, al
fecting the politics OF the western
hemisphere One of the significant items
In the current news is the diplomatic
Interchange between France and the
United States. Members of the drei-
bund will not fail to notice this 1t
means that If the United States is too
severely pressed 1t will simply throw In
it's fortunes with France and Russia
and do It's best to get up vierbund
with Great Britain as the fourth ally.
There would be no fighting that COM
bination.
At the same time defenses and the
means of offence cannot be neglected.
II the United States has made up its
mind to stand by the Monroe doctrine,
II must be able to do it effectively.

Attorney General Dole received a
