Uncle Sam in the Pacific.
American influence to Become Domi
nant on That Great Ocean


There is sometimes a disadvantage
in a near view. There is a lack of
perspective, and objects are not seen
in their right proportion. 1t is for
this reason that contemporary events
are often not estimated at their real
Importance.
Just at present the United States
is fulfilling ancient prophecies of its
destiny in the Pacific, but those who
witness the expansion which is taking
place only imperfectly appreciate its
significance. The New York Journal
Of Commerce" recalls the fact that
more than two centuries ago William
Paterson, the founder of the Bank of
England, and the author of the
Darien scheme, foretold the future
primacy of the United States in the
Pacific Ocean.
If neither Great Britain singly, he
predicted, nor the maritime powers of
Europe Jointly, treat for Darien, the
period is not far distant when, in
stead of waiting for the slow returns
of trade, America will seize the pass
of Darien. "Their next move will be
to hold the Sandwich Islands. Sta
toned thus in the middle, on the east
and on the west sides of the New
World. English-Americans will form
the most potent and singular empire
that has appeared, because it will
consist not in the domination of a
part Of the land Of the globe, but in
the dominion of the whole ocean,"
This prediction has not been full
filed precisely as it was uttered, but
enough of it has come true to vindi
cate the perspicacity of Mr.. Paterson.
Charles E. Magoon, at the dinner of
the American Asiatic Association the
other day, put the situation graph
cally when he said that the Pacific
Ocean will be the theater of the TWEEN
tieth century struggle between ma
tons for commercial supremacy, and
the nation which commands the COM
MERGE of the Pacific Ocean will con
troll the commerce of the world.
"The United States and its posses
sions," he added, ''the Aleutian Isl
ands, Alaska, our western coasts, Ha-
wall, Guam, Samoa, the Philippine.
and Sulu Islands, nearly make this
great ocean an American inland sea"
This is an inspiring view Of Amer
lean commercial destiny. If 1t seems
to anyone an exaggeration, let him
take a map Of the Pacific and study
trade routes thereon, and he will see
that the United States occupies a far
more commanding position in that
ocean than any other nation. When
the isthmian canal is built, its su-
premacy will be still more complete
The United States has no aggressive
ends to serve in the Pacific or else
where. Its aims are the peaceful aims
of commerce.
But its interests are large enough
to require protection and to demand
respect; and it is perhaps partly for
this reason that Secretary Hay pro-
tested so promptly against designs
and demands in Manchuria on Rus
sia's part which might seem hostile to
the interests of the United States.

unique legal process occupied the at
tention of the English lord chancellor's
court on June 7. 1t was a suit of treas
ure trove brought In behalf of the king
by the attorney general against the Brit
ish museum to establish the title of the
crown to number of gold articles OF
early Celtic workmanship discovered in
the earth seven years ago In the north OF
Ireland. and which has come into the
possession of the museum by purchase
The articles included set OF gold bowls
model of a curragh or ancient Irish
boat, collar OF gold. three torres and
some gold chains. The attorney general
claimed that the finders had no right to
sell them to the British museum or any
other party; that no one could acquire
any title to them by purchase: that they
became the property of the crown from
on the shore Of Tough Foyle, and he cited
the ancient law pertaining to such finds
as set forth by Lord Coke In Third In
stitutes. page 1872.
The attorney for the museum contend
ed that James I, after connscating the
land of the natives. granted certain per-
sons all rights in It. and claimed that all
franchises passing by a royal charter in

treasure trove was a franchise. and

right presented by the Commons to King
Edward III. in support Of his contention.
The proceedings. which occupied the time
of the court for a whole day. have an
archaic flavor quite interesting and some
what novel to person OF the Twentieth
century. The archaeological expert wit
nesses who testified on either side sub
stantially agreed that the articles were
of very early Irish fabrication. One OF
them, Mr.. Arthur John Evans. who Is,
at present, conducting extensive exeava-
lions In the island of Crete. thought they
were deposited In the first century of
the Christian era. as a thank offering
made by some pagan Irish chief to a ma
rine divinity for having been saved from
some peril of the sea. But Mr.. Munro of
Edinburg university, another expert,
while agreeing that they were quite an
cient, considered the theory that they
were deposited as a votive or thank Of
fering a very improbable one
Eminent Biologists were called by the
huseum to support the theory that they
were deposited as pagan votve offer

their deposition the sea bed had raised

ed men denied that the ancient Irish
made votive offerings to their sea gods.
There was no trustworthy evidence of 1t;
such customs were confined chiefly TO
Scandinavia. The investigation was an
interesting study in Irish archaeology
and the ancient law of treasure trove,
but on the subject at issue it was very
confusing. Mr.. Justice Farweli who pre-
sided, said he would have to consider
carefully the testimony and render de-
eson at an early day.
