MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS

One of the main difficulties of filling
the office of minister of foreign affairs
with no foreign office to attend to. is
the fact that in the event of President
Dole's death or serious sickness. dur
ing the time of the present interreg-
mum, the gentleman holding that port
folio would take the position of pres
ident for the time being. There are
several gentlemen who could readily
fill the vacant seat and draw the sala-
ry regularly, and who would give no
trouble in the executive councils. but
such men would not perhaps, play a
good figure if asked to go to the helm
of state.
On the other hand there are gentle
men who would impress themselves
strongly in the executive councils and
whose opinion would be of the greatest
value, but they might not prove thor
oughly acceptable as the master hand,
in the event of anything happening TO
Mr.. Dole.
Having got rid of the difficulty which
faced him when Attorney General
Smith resigned, the chief executive is
now faced with another difficulty, viz:
that of filling a position in which he
has to consider possible, though not
necessarily a probable, successor. To
the general public this dilemma has
not presented itself, but it is a very
real one to the executive and accounts
for the length of time which is being
taken to fill the vacancy.
The actual work of the position does
not amount to much, for the Islands
have no foreign policy now. There are
the schools to supervise and a man
might even in few months do a great
deal of good in that direction. But
such man might not make an accept
able president. 1t is a dilemma, but
there is one thing, it is not likely to
last more than nine months. Pity the
sorrows of unhappy government Off
Gals.

The California senatorial deadlock
ought soon to come to an end. 1t is
generally accepted that Barnes is a
stalking horse for Burns and that when
the time is ripe the majority, and it
may be the whole of the formers votes
will be transferred to the latter. At
the last ballot they had AZ votes be-
tween them, a very little more
would give the required majority, and
it is possible that that will have been
procured before our next mail leaves
the coast '1'

Pagoda tree, are in no way DESTROYS Of
accepting the latter.
Thus this move, which has had its
incipience somewhere between the
Winter Palace and the Quirinal will
affect both Washington and London,
though its ostensible objective is San
Nun. Truly no move can be taken
among the nations without in some way
disturbing the general equilibrium.
Deweys cannon thunder was the sa-
lutte for the annexation of the Hawa-
iian Islands to the United States, but
it was also the signal of an entirely
new element in the diplomacy of the
east, and had even more effect in the
great capitals of Europe than it had
at Madrid

The arrival of the Grant with nearly
1900 troops on board will enable the
American forces to advance against the
Filipinos. Having to protect Manila
General Otis has not had force enough
to be able to take the aggressive to
any extent. The Filipinos have conse-
quently been under the impression that
there is not so very much difference
between the Spaniard and the Ameri-
can. He is probably, at the present
moment, realizing that the American
soldier is rather worse than a typhoon,
and that cyclone is mild in compari-
son with him when it comes to bush
fighting.

The City of Columbia, after it's
many ups and downs has finally been
duly adjudged as the property of Harry
Evans. There is some chance of her
existence coming to an end, when she
and becomes scrap iron and the con-
tents of a junk shop, she will cease
from troubling and the weary reporter
may be at rest Since she has been
about the Hawaiian Islands she has
chiefly supplied fees for lawyers and
copy for the newspaper men.

NEW PHASE OF EASTERN CUES
TON.

With only the meager kilograms we
receive out here, or indeed are recelv-
ed in San Francisco, it is difficult full
ly to understand Italy's position with
regard to China. There must have been
some strong moving power which urg-
ed Italy to make the demand she did.
The action of Germany at Kiauchau
was not unexpected and Germany took
the opportunity of a Chinese agrees
sion upon German missionaries to make
her demand
Great Britain has ever been an ag-
gressive power in the East, and it was
in the line of her policy to take Port
on the Yangtse.
France has been the competitor of
Great Britain in Southern Asia from
the days of Give and Duplex to the
present.
Russia is the avowed competitor of
Great Britain in the struggle for en-
pire in Asia, and her moving upon Chi
ma is part of a scheme of territorial
extension which has been maturing for
century. 1t was we'll at work fifty
years ago, and is now coming to frui-
ton.
The action Of all those powers is I'M
derstood. That of Italy is not so clear.
One explanation, and it may be the
true one, is that she wants occupation
for her fleet, and she wants to show
that her fleet is necessary. With this
object she has made a demand upon
China which she knew was likely to be
refused and has Immediately brought
her fleet into play
Italy is desperately poor. The peo-
pie are woefully over taxed. Only last
year there were bread riots in Milan
and in other centers. Italy is in no
condition to go to war, but she has sup
porters which Spain had not The Ital-
ian government may have intimated to
those supporters that it was impossible
to keep up the large fleet without Civ
ing it something to do, and she has,
with European consent, been allowed
TO make this demonstration. If such
is the case, it is Russian and not Brit
ish interest which is to the fore.
Another thing which leads one to the
idea of Russian interest being behind
Italy is that the Italian move is in the
direction of spheres of influence"
while the British policy has been clear
ly put forward by Lord Charles Beres-
ford as that of the open door" With
the latter policy as her great aim,
Great Britain is not likely to favor the
Italian move. Some of the kilograms
say that Great Britain does favor the
move, but they are clearly wrong.
Those which say that Great Britain
and Japan favor the opening of San
Nun as a free port are, on the other
hand, clearly right, for that is distinct
ly playing into their hands, and it is
policy which American statesmen will
approve of.
The trade between China and the
United States has been growing enor-
mously during the last few years. The
open door" policy is to the advant-
age of the United States. The Sphere
of influence" policy would compel the
United States to either adopt an ag-
gressive policy upon the coast of China,
or in great measure lose the Chinese
trade. At the present moment the
United States would not like to adopt
the former, and the merchants and
manufacturers who are just beginning
