Samoan Problem Full of Difficulties.

The natives are quarreling again, and SO
are the representatives in Apia of the three
powers, and the diplomats of these powers
at Berlin are vainly trying to find a way
out of joint control. All admit that the con-
deminium principle is not operative, at least
not in Samoa; but no one sees how 1t can be
put aside.
Division of the islands is very simple in
theory, but when Germany and England
both want Apia, and the island it is located
on, Upolu, then division is not so easy. The
United States would be content with the
island of Tutuila and its fine harbor, Pago
Pago. The bay of that name is one of the
finest harbors in the South Pacific.
Division of closely connected islands
among three powers is not an ideal scheme.
The group would thus be subjected to a va
riety of rule, language and degrees of pro-
gress, and the chances are that no part of
the group Would be very prosperous or con-
tented. Neither joint control nor division
will be satisfactory to the natives. Tariff
and trade restrictions would be hurtfHl in
the one case, and strife in the other.
The fact is, the Samoan problem is far
from settlement. A final settlement is not
in sight and the natives are restless and
full of contention. The ad interim arrange
ment is no moro satisfactory than the old
klngship plan under foreign residents was.
Nothing is satisfactory. 1t is turmoil and
trouble all around, and the regret is that
we did not have sense enough to accept the
entire group when it was offered to us in

A TEN MILLION FEE

From the Chicago Tribune.
The president of the American Tinplate
company explained to the industrial COM
mission last week the method of organic
ing an industrial combine. The men who
wished to unite the tinplate mills under one
management appealed to Judge Moore, ''the
Chicago promoter to undertake the lob.
He put it through, and was paid ten mil
lions in common stock to reward him for
his services. It. was his to do with as he
saw proper. Some of it no doubt went to
the bankers who financed the undertaking.
The rest the promoter kept Ten million
dollars may seem as immense fee, but it
must be remembered that bankers and pro-
moter were not able to sell it at par. Sim
pie as the gudgeons who bought it were,
they were not that silly. The common
stock of the tinplate company is in excess
of the the preferred stock by ten millions
That Is true of the five other combines, the
paternity of which is chargeable to the Chi
cago promoter. So out of total capital-
cation of about 240 millions he and the I'M
derdecmfwy bgkfwy rd mfwybg fwy fwyd
derwriting bankers got about sixty mil
lions for their valuable services. 1t would
be interesting to note how much of that
stock they have been unable to dispose of,
and how much cash they got for what they
sold. They have not been the only offerers
of that stock The owners of the different
Plants Which have been absorbed by the
combines have been paid in cash some
times but usually in stock-$100 in preferred
and 800 in common for every 800 cash val
uation The recipients of this common
stock knowing it would pay a dividend
but once, at the most, have Deddled it out
for what they could get. Thus promoters,
underwriters and original owners who take
nav in stock unite in communicating I'M
phisticated investors. Industrial corpo-
rations, organized chiefly for the purpose
of selling watered stock, cannot be long
lived.

CAMPAIGN IN THE PHILIPPINES

Washington Correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune.
Army officials predict mat within the
next two weeks there will be movements
i'm the Philippines clearly Indicating the
plan of campaign against Aguinaldo, which
is said to involve surrounding him with at
least three separate commands 1t is be-
lieved the climaGic conditions will be such
as to justify a combined movement within
the next thirty days, and before that time
the disposition of troops will be such to
E.em in .rle insurgents.
The campaign is believed to involve an
attack in force ON Aguinaldo on the South,
east and north. Macarthur is to move
straight north on the line of the railroad
from Angeles to Tarlac. Lawton, with San
Isidro his base, will keep we'll to the east
of the railroad until he gets on the north-
east flank of the Tarlac army, and then lae
will begin to close in Meanwhile, the
army transports will be expected TO land
a force at Dagupan the northern tSrminus

ments may, in fact, land there instead of
at Manila. -

Gen. Lee at West Point.

Robert z. Lee was at one time superin-
tendent Of the military academy at West
Point and his administration at the aead-
envy is often recalled in army cire!es-.s
in fact, of historic interest because all
paris of lis heroic life are historic At
superintendents. and ule fact has recently
been made public That a portrait of Gem
eral Lee is not in the collection. This omis
sion, it seems, was not or rather at pres
emit is not, intentional.
Secretary of War Root explains the
omission in this way: The collection was
not begun until 1870. and is incomplete.
The lack of a portrait of any kind of Gem
eral Lee in the uniform he wore ait West
Point while at the head of the academy,
has delayed the painting of an appropriate
portrait for the collection 1t is stated that
an old Photograph has been found, and this
will be used in guiding the artist that tne
government selects to make a handsome
portrait in oil.
1t is perhaps just as we'll that the omis-
sion was not noticed in the '7O's, when war
prejudtces were still active and bitter
There are none in existence now. A re-
publican administration is now as ready
to honor General Lees memory as a demo-
cratic administration would be. Secretary

Sam Jones a Facter in Ohio.

The revolt or reaction against the coarse
methods of the purse-swelled Hanna
against his efforts to drive instead of to
persuade-is becoming very apparent in
Ohio; and it is taking the form of a STAN
pede to Mayor Sam Jones, of Toledo, who
is an independent candidate for governor
All men of high standards are disguised
with Hanna and his vulgar methods. He
is degrading both manhood and politics in
Ohio in particular. He has been remarka-
bly, successful, but his very success is re-
garded by thoughtful men and by decent
men who are not SO thoughtful as demon
alzing. The revolt against him is wide
spread.
Hanna republicans now concede that
Jones will poll at least $1,000 votes, proba-
bly, 1900. The Kurtz- Bushnell republicans,
who dislike Hanna, put Jones' vote at not
less than 100000 1t is conceded that he
-rill carry Toledo and Lucas county, in
which that city is located. 1t is also con-
ceded that Jones vote will be heavy in all
the other cities off the state. 1t is also con-

POLITICS IN RUSSELL

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
The structures of The Age-Herald upon
the action of the executive committee of
Russell county are severe; and while your
position may be correct, I wish your read
ers to know that one-half of said commit
tee were opposed to boiling, and contended
for abiding by instructions of the state ex-
eeutive committee the whole day, and only
submitted to the compromise of holding a
primary for the nomination of candidates
for county offices from December ., 1899,
to February 3, 1900, when they saw that any
other settlement was impossible. The
friends of the boiling movement were very
much astonished, and see plainly that there
is trouble ahead of them. The organized,
faithful, party law-abiding democrats of
Russell are at work.

Huntsville Post

From the Huntsville Post.
Special attention is called to the resolu-
ton, found on another page, introduced by
Secretary Thompson a the chamber of COM
merce meeting last night. which calls on the
commercial bodies of Alabama to unite
their efforts to secure the passage of bill
by. the next Legislature to establish a bureau
of industry and immigration for Alabama.
This matter should have the earnest and
prompt support of every business man in
the state. Every commercial organization
should take it up at once, and labor for the
accomplishment of the end proposed Our
state has, 50 far, had no organized or sys-
tematic plan of work in this line. She has
great interests at stake, but no head--no
manager in charge of these matters The
state should have a man-commissioner of

France and Russia Against England.

While England is preparing to protect her
ing to give the Beers a lesson they have
long needed. there crops out here and there
land and the Beers in some way by Russia
and france This sort of thing was discuss
ed both within and without ministerial cir
cles when the United States declared war
against Spain. It came to nothing however,
and the present rumors will probably be
ended in talk also.
Neither Russian nor France have any con-
nection whatever with the South African
trouble: they have no grievances in that
quarter to redress; they have only the gem
eral grievance that goes with English sea
power. They may hope to accomplish some
thing while England is engaged in settling
the Transvaal trouble. Russia wants to
open the Dardanelles, to say nothing about
road to the sea in Southern Asia; France
wants more room and freedom in North
Africa. What the two may attempt is prob
lematical, but they will attempt nothing to-
gether against England that will promote
civilization or the worlds progress.
England will move in strength very soon
in South Africa, and one good victory in
that quarter will silence the Holy Alliance
business. England is really on trial in
military sense. When she faced Russia in
the Crimea the management of her forces
was below criticism 1t was abomnable.
But the England of that day and the Eng
land of fifty years later are two very differ
ent countries. A large army has been quick
ly organized for service in the Transvaal,
and it is dispatched daily with order and
system; and it is believed it will have the
Beers we'll in hand before Christmas. In
tervention before that time is improbable,
however much Russia and France would
like to cripple a country they hate but dare
not attack when she is free-handed.
The British navy is ready to meet all the
ships that Russia and France possess. No
warshps can be used against the Beers.
The whole of the English navy is free to
cope with a French fleet anywhere, or
French Russian fleet, if a Russian ship dare
leave a home port. Intervention by France
and Russia might be embarrassing in
some quarters, but it would not be at sea.
But Intervention of any kind is not prob
able.

CHANGE PROBABLE
State Department Without Late Advices.
from Samoa

Washington, October 25.-The state de-
partment is without late official adyiees
from Samoa respecting the existence Of
fresh troubles among the Eatives on Tic
ISLANDS, but it is believed that these latest
reported events are not really threatening
in character. However, it is probable HAT
some important change WI be brought
about, for it is admitted that the three
treaty powers are each and all now about
convinced that the Ccndomium IS in
capable of affording a safe basis for the
government of the islands.
The difficulty is tlat negotiations up to
this time have produced, no satisfactory pan
to replace this arrangement.
