QUIET IN SAMOA.
Work Resumed on the Plantations Near
 VaiIeIe.

Apia, Samoa. May 4th, (via Berlin, May 10).-The difference which arose regarding the line outside of which the Mataafans agreed to withdraw has been peaceably adjusted and work has been resumed on the plantations near Vailele. All the houses in the neighborhood of Apia are still strongly occupied by Tanu's warriors. Tanu has lodged com plaint with the supreme court against the administration of the treasury which is now controlled by the consuls of Germany. Great Britain and the United States, pending pr. Solf's assumption of the duties Tanu demands that he be paid a monthly salary of $150, which is thrice the amount paid to Malietoa Lapepa. The United States consul, Luther w. Osborn, acting as cashier of the treasury, refused to pay the money demanded, but the chief justice, MT. Chambers, gave judgment in favor of Tanu for the amount claimed.

CASE OF YOUNG MOLINEUX To he Taken Again tO the Grand Jury
 nnI at Once.

New York, May 10.-There was long argument in the Molineux case before Justice Jerome in the court of special sessions to-day. Barlow S Weeks, counsel for M lineux, contended that as the grand jury had passed upon the identical points a issue, Justice Jerome had no jurisdiction Then MT. Weeks announced that he was ready for trial, and the district attorney stated that he also was ready. After further dslibera- tion MT. Weeks stated that he would waive examination and asked Justice Jerome to fix bail. The justice eaid that in waiving the examination the case was taken out of his hands and was in the hands of the grand jury, and he refused to accept or fix any bail. MT. Weeks stated that he would offer no bail but that he would take the matter before the grand jury at once. It is expected that as the grand jury failed to find an indictment against Molineux in the first instance it will do so again.

CARE OF THE REBEL GRAVES
4 DISCUSSION OYER M,KINLEY'S
 STATEMENT AT ATLANTA, GA.
Reunion to Endorse the Presidents Suggestion That the Federal GOvern- ment Undertake the yVOrk-Nntter Re- ferced to Committee.

Charleston, s. C., May 10-Almost the
 first official act of the ninth annual re-
 union of the United Confederate Veter- ans, which began here to-day, was an attempt by General Stephen D. Lee of
 Mississippi to secure an indorsement of President McKinley's statement made in his recent Atlanta speech that the care of graves of Confederate dead should be undertaken by the federal government Action on the resolution however, was frustrated by a motion to refer it to the committee on resolu- tions. As this committee is yet to be appointed it is not probable that the matter will be taken up tomorrow, and the ultimate fate of the resolution is problematical. The motion to refer originated with pr. William Jones of Virginia and met with some opposition, and it is believed that the matter even- tually will cause some discussion, as there is decided faction in favor of General Lees sentiments, while the op- position is said to be strong. The ref erenue to committee probably will re- suit in amending the resolution so that, while thanking the president and ac- his action as graceful one, it will declare that the care if it's dead is q duty of the south.

AMERICAN TRACT SOCIETY.
1 Seventy fourth Annual Meeting Cen. Howard Reelected President.

New York, May 10--The seventy | Tract society was held here to-day. | General O. o. Howard presided. The 1 society has had to retrench expenses
 during the past year. The total dis bursements were $3S2,771, leaving cash
 on hand of only $643. General Howard
 was reelected president Five new members of the board of managers were | elected, namely, the Rev. Drs David c. Wylie and G, w. F. Bisch, the Rev. A.
 B. King, Silas F. Iiallock, M. D., and H. B. Silliman, IL. D. The society has only one regular vice president, the Rev. pr. Robert s. Macarthur. He was re- elected Members of various commit tees were chosen.
 Reports on various phases of the work
 of the society were made by the presi- dent, General Howard; the Rev, Dr. George l.. Shearer, one of the secreta- ries, who spoke for the finance com-
 mttee; Assistant Treasurer Louis Tag
 and the Rev. pr. w. w. Rand for the
 publication department. One of the nu-
 merous secretaries present was the Rev.
 Dr. Cummings of Boston, A number of addresses were made. The Rev. pr.
 David Burrell said that he did not think that clergymen generally appre- ciated the vast amount of good work done by the society. He also referred to the somewhat depressed finances of the society.
 Dr. Burrell and other speakers strong ly deprecated the custom of many cler- gymen in trying to have the gifts of their congregations go to denomination al societies. They said that the Tract society which now had publications in 153 different languages and dialects, did more good than all the denominational evangelical publication societies to- gethcr The Rev. Dr. William Hayes Ward, the editor of the Independent, told of the opportunities for mission work in Cuba and Porto Rico. He said that a large proportion of the popula- tion was absolutely indifferent to relig ion, owing to their hatred of the Span
 sh ecclesiastics, and the field for Prot estant work was very promising. | Among other speakers were the Rev. | pr. w. E. Rankin of Texas, Rev. A. A. Kidder of Hartford, F. l.. Janeway and ! Rev. Dr. Elmendorf. On motion of | Key. MT. JudSon Snlltn the eXScutlNe ! committee was requested to take steps | to have the next annual meeting an ap- proprate celebration of the seventy ! fifth anniversary of the society. On ! the evening of Sunday, May 21, the an- niversary sermon for this year will be preached by Rev. pr. Donald Sage Mackay at his church at Forty eighth street and Fifth avenue.
