Is the best solution Of a yexatious
question. The triparti,e arrangement
between the United States. Great Brit
ain and &c many was q source Of an
noyance both to the home government
in its relations 10 the islands and Of
friction between the nations which were
supposed to protect the islands. There
was no real authority. and the Jealousy
existing between the representatives OF
the three powers frequently resulted In
bringing about q clash which was not
very dignifed. The natives were shrewd
enough To play upon the vanity Of pet
~ officials. and strained relations often
followed with no adequate cause

soiute sovereignty over another very
convenient hating place between It's

The possession Of Page Page harbor

munication.
England and Germany have come 10
an amieable conclusion as to the share
which each Is TO get. and both coun-
tries seem TO be eminently satisfied.
The profound significance Of this

IL very evident II means a friendly
alliance OF a moral character between
the United States, Great Britain, Ger
many and probably Japan. 1t Is mag
nificent combination and insures peace
because no nation or combination Of
other nations can afford to force to an
issue any claim which IL not approved
OF by this influence.
There Is & lingering ill-will against
this country manifested by some Of the
German papers, but that is a result OF
the jealousy OF the Agrarians and even
OF some OF the manufacturers growing
out OF the great increase in the de-
mand for American goods. The acqui-
sition OF Samoa by Germany WILL how
ever. prove exceedingly popular among
the great masses OF the people. 1t does
not seem much TO rejoice over. but the
islands have been used by the press to
stir UP ill-feeling against Great
Britain and this country, not because
1t was felt that they were SO valuable.
but that neither Of the other powers
would yield, Thus. n very cheap ex-
pedient appeared available to keep up
q ferment until the people really be-
lieved national honor was concerned.
Another phase OF the matter is turned
towards South Africa, 1t Is evident
that a general understanding has been
reached and II is very safe to predict
that before long Portugal will sell Del

Dor on the west coast OF South Africa.

Dungeon in Boston's Subway.

From the Boston Evening Transcript
Did you know that there were dun
geons in the subway? You can see the
doors leading into their dark, under
ground depths as you whiz by. Where
is the anti Russian woman, who used
to distribute hand bills telling how the
spaces under the edges of roofs and
the corners made between partitions
are full of Muscovites. lying in wait to
murder us or blow smallpox germs with
atomizers through the cracks in the
walls. She would people those subway
compartments with armies of Russians.
If we have, as some of our anti-im-
perialist friends claim, adopted the
Castilian character with the islands we
have taken from Spain. we shall I'M
doubtedly learn to make use of these
subterranean depths for purposes of
Imprisonment No doubt, since the war
has developed people capable of believ-
ing that any infamy whatever is con-
sistent with the American character,
we shall soon be told that compart-
ment down under the Commonplace
ably in the part of the subway which
was carved out of the buryingground-
is waiting for Edward Atkinson, and
another for Erving Winslow, where
they will be kept incommunicado for
90 years.

Some Odd Items.

In letter just received from Surgeon
Beck of the 18th Minnesota. now in the
Philippines, he says that in the HOO cases
OF wounded soldiers who had gone to the
hospital at the time of his writing there
were only three cases of amputation.
One of the queer freaks of the Bangor,
Me-, police grist the other day was an in
toxicated man who went into leading
hotel and teiephoned himself for the patrol
wagon. When 1t came he climbed in and
rode over to the city hall to be locked
up.
One of the most remarkable things on
the North Pacific coast is the large num-
ber of halibut In Alaskan waters. Small
steamers catch cargoes in a few hours
time, and it is no strange thing to see
100000 caught in from two to three days.
Some one asserts that a tremendous
waste occurs in all the fruit-growing dis
tricts of this country, and that when there
is a glut carloads are thrown away. Mos
of Oregons great ,pFune crop last year
rotted on the ground.

preparing OF the way for other plans
about the other place next year.
On the theory that New England can
give next years ticket a lift if that
section is properly regarded in the ma
tional convention, the name of George
ably will be urged. He made an out
and-out fight in 1896 and has pulled
true since then. Kentucky has a man
for second place-more than one, for
that matter-but Judge Tarvin appears
to be in the lead for the Kentucky
region. There Is talk of Allen w. Thur
man; his candidacy, of course, at once
involves a rivalry in Ohio with Nc
Lean. There are others-plenty of
them; there is not likely to be lack
of men who will be ready and willing,
under democratic auspices, to make the
run, next year, for Mr.. Hobart's job.
For the moment, Mr.. Mclean is the
man most talked about in connection
with this years politics in Ohio and
next years in the nation. He has for
many years been a national figure; in
1896 he received votes both for the
presidential and the vice-presidential
at Chicago. it looked, indeed, as if
nothing could prevent his nomination
for vice president. The circumstances
that did prevent it were never given to
