Right oi Anncxntiou of .Mid-Sen

Jtlnds,
Globe-Domocrat's Washington Letter.
Many persons arc of tho belief that
Undo Sam f'y annexing Hawaii will
come Into po&.sslon of tho first Islands
worth mentioning that he has ever
owms-d. Tho acquisition of Hawaii,
with the beautiful and picturesque har
bor at Honolulu, has been the subject
of wide discussion slnco tho treaty was
signed at Washington. The harbor is,
perhaps, on of tho most interesting
of the many attractive features of tho
Sandwich group.
Tho Hawallans, as their own tradi
tions clearly state, camo from Tonga,
In tho South Pacific, voyaging 2,000
miles over a trackless ocean and col
onlEcIng tho Sandwich group 400 years
before Columbus dlscovored this con
tinent All of these are, or soon will
be, under tho flag of tho United States.
This country M proprietor of a largo
number of scattered pieces of real ci
tato in both the Atlantic and the Paci
fic. These, indeed, constitute quite an
ocean empire, and among their inhab
itants are numbered several lclnds of
savages some clad In furs and others
attired In little else than their own
brown skins.
Distributed over the mld-Paclflc, In
the neighborhood of the equator, are
quttn a lot of small Islands that belong
to the United States. Most of them
nro from 1,000 to 2,000 miles to tho
south and southwest of Hawaii. Some
of them are near the Gilbert archipel
ago, and there Is a considerable cluster
Just a1)out the lesser distance men
tioned and directly south of tlio Ha
waiian group, Including America,
Christmas, Palmyros, and other Islands
of large size. Christmas Island Is
about thlrty-flvo miles long. It ob
tained Its name originally from the
fact that the famous Cook stopped
thero on a Christmas day for the pur
pose of observing an eclipse. It Is a
ring of coral formation, Inclosing a la
goon that has become so salt through
evaporation as to be a veritable brine.
Pishes, thrown over the reef by storms,
aro pickled In it and remain perfectly
preserved and good to eat for months.
SIXTY IN ALU
These Isle3 of tho Pacific belonging
to "Uncle Sam number sixty In nil.
They have all been annexed to the
United States under an act of congress
which became a law Au&,18, 1S36. This
law, which remains In t3Xo today, de
clares that whenever any citizen of the
United States shall discover a deposit
of guano on any Island, rock or key,
not within the lawful jurisdiction of
any other government, he shall be at
liberty to take peaceable possession
thereof, and such Island, rock or key
may at the discretion of the president
be cor Idered ns appertaining to the
Unite States. The dlscoveier is re
quire o glvo due notice to the De
part At of State, with aflldavlt, de
scrll fg the Island and showing1 that
possession of the same has been taken
in the r.ame of this couttiv. Ho Is
obliged nt-tht same time to give a bond
which is filed In tho tieasuiy.
"Jjo discoverer, at the pleasure of
Congress, enjoys the exclusive right to
occupy his island for the purpose of
obtaining guano, and for this product
he Is allowed to charge only a certain
fixed price, namely, $8 a ton for guano
dQllvcicd nt the ship's hide or Jl a ton
for the privilege of digging It where
It lies. Furthermore, he gives guaran
tee by his bond to deliver the guano
only to citizens of the United States
and to be used in the United States.
The law also provldes.curiously enough,
that all offenses nnd crimes on such
Islands by persons who may land there
on, or In waters adjacent, shall be
deemed as committed on the high seas,
on board of 'a merchant ship of the
'United States, and shall be punished
accordingly.. The president Is author
ized to use the land and naval forces
of the United States to protect the
rights of the dlacoverer or his heirs.
Any adventurous and speculative
person today Is at liberty to tiamp
about the Pacific or any other ocean
and annex Islands to the United States
In the manner described, under tho law
quoted, which appears In the Revised
Statutes aB section B570. It Is merely
necessary to show that a deposit of
guano exists and that the Island In
question Is not claimed by any nation.
Now, there are thousands and thou
sands of Bmall Islands In the Pacific
that are unclaimed and uninhabited
except by the sea birds which breed
upon them, so that no difficulty lies In
the way of such "acquisition of terri
tory. The reason why all of the so
called guano Islands In the Pacific that
belong to the United States are located
In the neighborhood of the equator,
and between the Gilberts on the west
and the Matquesas on the east, Is that
there Is comparatively little rain In
that particular oceanic region. There
are quantities of Islands to tho north
and south which have guano deposits,
as well as on the Asiatic side of the
Pacific, but the stuff Is almost value
less because the rain wash the nitro
genous matter out of It.
GUANO BEDS.
- As is well known, the Jinest guano
in the world Is that obtained from the
Chlncha Islands, oft the coast of Peru.
Its quality is due to the fact that rain
hardly ever falls there. Unfortunate
ly, those deposits are now practically
exhausted. The ancient Peruvians
were accustomed to draw upon them
ft supplies of fertilizer long before
Columbus landed, ond so carefully did
they project the beds that nobody was
allowed' to land upon the Islands dur
ing the breeding season of the birds
which occupied them. Tho principal
guano-producing birds are tho gannets,
gulls, cormorants, pelicans, and, in hot
latitudes, the beautiful tropic birds
with long talis and exquisite plumage.
In tho tropica the other birds above
mentioned do not migrate, and so tho
accumulations of their droppings In
crease more rapidly. It Is known that
more than a century is required to add.
one inch in depth to a Bheet of guano.
When it Is considered that deposits of
guano are sometimes as much as CO
nnd even 60 feet deep, It will be real
ized what an enonnouB length of time
must have been needed to form such
beds.
In the neighborhood of the West In
dies and off tho coast of Yucatan and
Nicaragua aro several other guano
Islands that bnlmig to the United
States. There at Jeven of them In all
namely, Anchor .e', Booby Key, Na
vassa, San KeJJpNortheast Key, North
Key, North Rock, Sorrann. Key and
tho three Trlanglo Keys. Nearly alt
of them aro small, and the guano Is
of second-rate quality because thero is
too much rainfall. However, most of
tho vnluablo guano was long ago re
moved from nearly all of tho islands
described, nnd Uncle Sam has no very
Important use nt present for thoso
pieces of water-bound real estate.
Nearly all of them are uninhabited,
though a few prlmltlvo Polynesians get
a scanty living on some of our an
nexed ocean property In the Pacific,
cocoanut trees and screw pines yield
ing the most Important part of the food
supply. The natives adopt a very in
teresting expedient for the purposo of
making an artificial. noil. They dig
down to the coral bedrock, and into
tho hole they throw all sorts of refuse,
such as dead fish, garbage and leaves,
with occasionally a llttlo sand. In the
soil thus formed they plant taro.
ATOLLS.
Not a few of the (Pacific Islands be
longing to tho United States are atolls,
llko Christmas Islnnd, already spoken
of. An atoll is supposed by some au
thorities to bo tho result of volcanlo
action, a mountain being uplifted from
the bottom of the sen and sinking later
on, so as to leave behind it tho rim of
coral reefs by which it Is surrounded,
A typical guano Isle is Malpelo, which
Is an Isolated rock about a mile long
and half a mile wide. It Is covered
with the excrement of sea birds, which
occupy It in vast numbers. Thero Is
no vegetation on It save a few low and
leafless bushes. Probably the plants
which would otherwise grow there are
killed bv the droppings of the birds.
The most remarkable feature of Mal
pelo, however. Is a cave on tho north
west side, which has never been ex
plored. On one occasion a boat from
tho United States Pish commission
steamer Albatross entered it for a dis
tanco of 200 yards. The entrance la an
arch 15 feet high, nnd the cavern with
in expands into a symmetrical dome.
But Undo Sam's ocean empire In
cludes a great many Islands of far
greater Importance than tho guano
Isles referred to. In Behrlng Sea thero
nro several very large Islands, besides
the little Prlbyloff group, to which the
fur seals resort. On one of those
Islands a catastrophe occurred a few
years ago. Traders furnished tho na
tives with a barrel of rum, and, in
stead of devoting their attention to
tho procurement and storing of food
during the hunting and fishing season,
the wretched people became drunk and
stayed so. Next year white people
came and found not a soul alive; all
had starved to death during the win
ter. This country owns the entire
chain of Aleutian islands, which sep
arates Behrlng Sea from the North
Pnclfic. The Inhabitants of these Is
lands, called Aleuts, are particularly
Intelligent, much more civilized than
the Esquimaux, nnd bear a close re
semblance physically to the Japanese.
ALASKAN ISLES.
Off the coast of Southern Alaska Is
a group of Islands of great size, on
some of which live the Thllnket In
dians. These India is are the most ar
tistic savages in tho world, being very
skillful wood-carvers.
Off the coast of Southern California
Is the Santa Barbara group, compris
ing a number of large Islands. For
merly theie were Inhabited by a large
population, which wus attracted by the
many natural advantages possessed by
them. There were quarries of sand
stone, from which suitable mortars for
the grinding of corn wete obtained, and
plenty of the finest soapstone In the
wot Id was at hand for the manufac
tuie of pots and other primitive uten
sils. There was plenty of food for
nothing, as one might say, the fishing
being excellent. The dead were usual
ly burled In graves marked with the
jawbones of whales that had been
thrown up and stranded on the beach.
The people wete happy and prosperous:
bUjt the Jesuits came and ordered mat
teis differently, compelling the natives
to move over to the mainland Opposite,
wheie they now leslde. At present tho
Islands are used for raising sheep.
Thus It will be seen thatjthls nation,
when it has annexed Hawaii, will pos
sess quite an extensive and widely
distributed oceanic realm, Inhabited by
several queer kinds of people. There
is good reason for believing that the
Aleuts aie descended from the same
stock as tho Japanese. Nobody knows
anything about tho origin of tho Es
quimaux. THE KEA.Ii AND HEW JACKSON.
Ho Could Not Today Win the Ronown
Which Attaches to tlio Horo or Now
Orleans.
From the Philadelphia Press.
The Democratic idolatry of Jackson
Is not altogether unaccountable. He
had many of the qualities which make
up tho poular hero. First of nil, he
was absolutely fearless. The popular
judgment vuns strongly with Parson
Wilbur: "I don't alters agree with
him," sez he, it, by Time!" sez he,
"I like a man i..dt nin't afeared." He
was a vehement friend as well as a
bitter hater. Ho had n real genius for
war, and his star aiose amidst the
darkness of midnight. He gave the
country a victory and a hero Just when
victories and heroes wore sadly needed.
The war had brought 'us, on land,
nothing but a series of defeats and
disgraces, culminating in the capture
of our national capital and tho burn
ing of the national buildings, which
(while bringing llttlo glory to the en
emy) brought measureless ignominy
upon us. There was great reason to
fear a similar humiliation In the cap
ture of the capital of tho southwest.
To defend the city against the British
army we had a handful of undisciplined
troops, made up of the local mllltja,
hastily-gathered volunteers, negroes.,
and Lafltto's pirates. No one dared
hope that these forces could make
head agalnBt the veterans of the Penin
sular War, who had defeated the mar
shals of Napoleon; who had marched
In triumph from Torres Vedras to
Paris; of whom Wellington said,
"With these men. I could go any
where." It was over this darkness that Jack
s' and the 8th of January Hashed
with a radiance that startled not alone
the nation but the world. Wellington
and Napoleon alike recognized the
splendor of the military gpnlus that
had emerged from obscurity. The
plain people were all tho more readily
captured, as they knew that the hero
was one of themselves a man of
humble birth, owing nothing to books,
or to the schools, who did not really
believe, to his dying day, that the
earth Is round. His simple life, his
corncob pipe, his direct, unadorned,
lucid and forcible speech added to the
charm. He was personally pure in life
and, no doubt, personally honest. He
was peculiarly tho idol of the South
and the southwest, which held then
a political predominance that no longer
exists. It was no disadvantage to him
in the ; ... of Tenesiee and Mississippi
that he would say to visitors, "That is
the pistol that I shot Mr. Dickenson
with," and that he and Colonel Benton
each carried in his body a bullet from
the other's rllle. Probably Jackson's

adherence to tho Democratic party
was largely a matter of accident, due
to his Southern birth and associations;
to the fact that the Federals opposed
the war: to his own narrow-minded
view of the Constitution (If we may
suppose that he ever gave any reflec
tion to that Instrument), and to the
rivalry existing between himself and
Henry Clay.
It Is a matter for congratulation and

Intelligence that such a career as that
of Jackson, Js probably Impossible at

contemptuously and tossed him back
