wrpELrss TELEGaAruY.

AS heretofore stated in the Dispatch,
telegraphic messages were on Wednesday
successfully sent from France TO England
across the Channel. a distance of thirty
two miles, without. wires.
This achievement demonstrates that
wireless biography is practical aud
satisfactory thing. But there is a limita-
ton upon its usefulness arising from the
fact that such messages cannot be relied
upon for secrecy, for whoever is equipped
with receivers may read the messages
as well as the receiving station 10 which
they are addressed.
The instruments that were used be-
tween Dover and Boulogne are the In
yention of an Italian named Marconi
However, Nkola Tesla asserts that the
Italians invention is nothing compared
with one. that he has made. but is not
yet quite ready 60 put before the publicl
He expects to be able to send inteillgible
messages across the Atlantic ocean, For
years ne has been making investigations
and he now asserts that he can handle
currents up TO SOOO,Ooo volts, produced by
his perfected oscillators. and that the
currents may be directed TO any point at
which arrangements have been made 20
receive them. and that this may be ac-
compnshed without regard to distance or
surrounding conditions.

THE SAMOAN TROUBLE.

In Samoa as well as in the Philippines
we ara experiencing the logical results
Of ignoring our time-honored policies and
principles and starting upon career Of
policing tho world.
Some years ago we entered into loose
jointed agreement with Great Britain and
Germany by which we undertook in con-
nection with the parties of the second
and the third part to do the king making
for the Samoans. Aside from the fact
that our action on this occasion was
about our first radical departure from the
Monroe doctrine, there was no good rea-
son for our mixing up in the Samoan
squabble. As far as commercial interests
were concerned we were in position to
snatch the bone over which the other two
Powers were Quarrelling.
Since the tripartite understanding
there have been several outbreaks in Sa-
moa, each OF which has served TO draw
us still deeper into the middle. Re
Gently the United States. through Chief
Justice Chambers, who by the agreement
has the first say in the matter. recognized
llalietoa Tanus as the lawful sovereign,
and the British and American oonsuls
accepted this recognition as final Ma
taafa, rival candidate for the throne,
protested, however. and proceeded TO or
eanize a provisional government, which
was supported by the German Consul. AS
result violence is rampant I'm Samoa
end In order 10 maintain our prestige and
fulfil the police obligation we assumed,
Jointly with the British. we have been
pumping shell from warships into the
Mataafa villages.
Technically the United States and their
British allies are at war with Germany
I'm the islands, and whether or not the
situation brings on a direct issue between
Germany and this country-an outcome
we do not apprchend-it is certainly not
calculated TO improve the relations be-
tween the two Powers. commercially or
otherwise.
A Washington special says that there
IS O. growing disposition on the part of
Germany TO repudiate the stand taken by
her representative, aud this Is quite likely.
1t is difficult 10 see how under the tri-
partte agreement, she could do otherwise.
At the same time, she cannot fail 10
appreciate and remember the fact that
the alliance between the Americans and
British I'M Samoa is another advance in
tho direction of our becoming involved
IN the complications of the Old World
IN a way that Great Britain may use &c
0ermany's serious disadvantage.

PLAY WITH EDGED TOOLS.

Some of the administration organs con-
tinue TO appeal TO Mr.. Jefferson in their
efforts TO justify the annexation Of the
Philippines. Surely these organs have
lost sight OF a certain letter from Mr..
Jefferson to Dr. George Logan, dated
March 81, 1901. We quotes
1T ought to be the very first object OF
our pursuits to have nothing to do with
the European interests and politics Let
them be free or slaves at Will, naViga-
tors. or agricultural, swallowed into one
government or divided into Thousand,
we have nothing to fear from them in
any form. Therefore. TO take a part in
their conflicts would be TO divert our
energies from creation TO destruction.
our commerce is 50 valuable TO them
that they will be glad TO purchase it when
the only price we ask is 10 do us JUS
tice / believe We have in our own hands
the. means Of peaceable coercion. and
that the moment they see. our government
SO united as that they can make use or
II. they will. for their own interest. be
disposed to do us justice. In this way we
shall not he obliged by any treaty or con-
federation 10 go to war for injuries done
to others
Here we have unquestionable evidence
that Mr.. jefferson would never have con-
scented TO any step I'm the matter OF ex-
pansion that was calculated TO involve
us i'm any manner shape, or form In the
complications Of the old world. Here we
have Mr.. Jefferson planting, so to speak,
the seed of the Monroe doctrine, when
doctrine. in the fulness Of its growth, has
been torn up by the roots by the lmpe-
rialists. Here, also, we have a scathihg
rebuke TO those who led us into our "hu-
mainly" crusade. Last, but not least, we
have prophecy Of destruction of our In
stitutlons. unless the people rise up IN
their might and turn the Imperialists
from power.
Again we say there is nothing in COM
mon between Mr. jefferson and the I'm
perialists. Their expansion policies do
not touch at any point. On the contrary,
they recoi from each other at every
point The Imperialist who appeals to Mr..
Jenerson's record plays with edged tools.

MIR. MKINLEY's PURCHASE.

1t would appear that when, at the price
Of $50, 900, Mr. Mckinley bought a war
from Spain, the latter threw in for good
measure her method of carrying on war
and her sentiments regarding "Iebes"
The general newspaper reports of the
desolation of country that is left in the
wake of our victorious legions in the
Philippines, and OF the suffering of the
natives, read very much like chapters
from the history of Spanish advances on
the Cuban patriots.
And special reports in private letters
from soldiers to friends in this country
would seem TO indicate that the Spanish
sentiment referred to has been distributed
by our government along with the army
rations Here is specimen Of these pri-
vate reports:
Il suppose the people back home did not
expect us to have any fighting, but we
have already had the greatest land fight
of the war, and it may take a great deal
more TO finish it yet, for we may have 10
XIII all the black rascals before they are
conquered
And here IS another:
occasionally a Filipino would fall for
ward apparently dead. wait until he was
fairly under the heels of the Americans
and then foolishly rise and attempt TO
gain safety. To shoot a man at six feet
range with a Springfield rifle Is hard
thing to do, but the orders Were to let
no Insurgent live and off would go the
whole side of his head. or he would fall
with a wound in his abdomen large enough
TO drop potato through.
AS we have frequently said. now that
we are in for it, there must be no let up
until the Flipinos have been brought TO
terms. Nevertheless. we cannot forbear
remarking that in all probability the
average Spaniard INDUCES in grim smile
whenever he thinks of American "benevo-
lent assimilation" and humanity" also.
that possibly he is in a constant state OF
perplexty over the rapid change of
gentle. chIldlike" Fillpinos into "black
rascals." BY the way, it might be just as
well TO state that neither of the special
reports from which we have quoted IS
from the pen OF southern man.
