New York. March 1.-Roland b.
MolineuN was to-day indicted by the
grand jury for murder in the first degree
in causing the death of Mrs. Katherine
j. Adams. The finding of the indict-
ment does away with Il hearing before
the coroner, and there will be small
chance for Molineux's counsel to take
any steps in his behalf until the case
actually comes to trial.
The case of Molineux was placed ON
the calendar for pleading, and he will
be arraigned before Recorder Golf to-
morrow. He will, probably then he re-

taneously in England and the United States
have had the opportunity of perusing the book,
and though of course its contents cannot be
divulged, may say that students of high politics,
and the general public, will, for the first time,
have the China question put before them in
coherent and connected form. The narrative is
deeply interesting, and the plea for the main
tenance of the open door is sustained in measur-
ed sequence of fact and argument that will appeal
to the conscience well as to the interests of the
Anglo-SaNon people. Lord Charles deeply teels
the ignonlinious reversal of British traditions
which has characterized Our treatment of China.
There was time when the hereditary policy of
Britain was to befriend weak nations. That is
ancient history. England has taken what does
not belong to her in China under threats of guns
and ships, for no better reason than that the mill
tary powers of Europe were doing the same

tered upon him to stop the forthcoming election.
his is not said in criticism of the local govern
ment for ordering the election. 1t is difficult to
conceive how they could have avoided it acting
as they did also under the Newland resolution
which provides for the continuance of Hawaiian
laws at the discretion of the President of the Uni
ted States. 1t must be much relief to the local
government as it is to the people that President
Mckinley has used his discretionary power in
this instance.
AT the present moment there are no politics in
Hawaii. An election of a Senate and House of
Representatives would have been farce-an af-
fair without issue or possible interest to anyone
Even under the patcl1ed-up oath required for
registration the election could not have obtained
full representation 1t was in itself farce. Yet
it was the only thing that could have been done
under the circumstances. If the election had been
held old local party differences and race ami
mosties must of necessity have been stirred up
thus putting off the time when all those of Ha-
Waian birth. of whatever color and their affilia-
TONS may work with unanirnity in public affairs
1t may be audacious early to forecast the flu
ture but the time will surely come when combined
Hawaiian influences; in cohesion, will be called
upon to repel the evil of carpet-bagism. When
this time comes it is needless to say that all Ha-
waiians who have heretofore refused allegiance
to the Hawaiian Republic will take the oath of
allegiance to the United States to protect their
own interests. 1t was inevitable that in the past,
lines were sharply drawn while there was pos
slble chance for the restoration of the monarchy.
But these issues are dead. Let them sleep peace
fully in the grave. New issues will confront us
soon enough.
1t is not at all probable that President McKn-
ley, in making his order to stop the election, took
any of these things into consideration. There
fore, it is far more significant, nasnuch as it re-
fleets the opinion of the administration, that
American laws will shortly be extended to these
islands, thus doing away with the present uncer-
tainty and conflict between the Constitution of
Hawaii and that of the United States.
The Australian colonies are to be congratulated

c.a.-..,o. The subject has been
agitated for many years.
But failure has hereto
fore followed every effort to bring the matter to
a head. In the present instance the question was
put to vote of the people, in each of the colonies
and was carried by two-thirds ma jority in all
of them excepting Queensland. But it is
thoroughly understood by statesmen and poll
ticians that the vote was lost there only because
of careessness in making out the specifications
submitted to the people. AS the concensus of
opinion is there likewise, apparently, in favor of
federation it is hoped another election will also
bring Queensland into the compact.

The Samoan oeen the subject OF
m....,. more comment by
contemporary journals
on the mainland than
the Samoan Middle. 1t is subject that must
naturally be of great interest to home readers. 1t
u.s. therefore, discussed at greater length else
where in these columns
Is it possible that ecclesiastical iealousies at
this the very dawn of the twentieth century, can
still WELD influence patent as to cause
sanguinary conflicts and put great powers by
the ears? 1t seems 1t is pretty generally
conceded that the struggle between the English
Protestant missionaries and the Catholic priests
for paramount influence in native affairs is re-
sponsibe for the whole thing.
1t seems that Mataata is under Catholic in
tluence While Nlaletoa Ianu is the candidate
for the throne OF the English missionaries. Ma
lletoa the elder was never able to govern the
Islands although normally king. Ills jurlsdlc-
ton extended only over very small district Ill
the vicinity OF Apia The adherents OF Mataala
out-nunDered those OF the former many times
and have Tor years refused to pay taxes to the
Government OF the relgnng king. 1t is conced-
ed, III the election following the death OF Malle-
toa the elder, that Mataata received the more
votes and should have been declared king if the
will of the people had been taken into conside-
ration.
1t is openly charged from German sources,
with considerable showing OF evidence, that
Judge Chambers was directly under the in
Huence OF the Protestant missionaries and gave
his decision III favor of Maetoa Ianu, Oh the
plea of right by descent" to assist his friends
in gaining the paramount political influence. If
Justice Chambers did thus connve to defeat the
popular will in Samoa he and his missionary con-
splrators become responsible for very serious
chapter of casualties; i. e. the loss of many
good Samoan lives, the killing OF number OF
brave American and English naval officers and
men, besides the ridiculous spectacle of the war
ships of two OF the greatest powers on earth
bonlbarding defenseless native huts and slaught-
ering people who were fighting for just repre-
sentation, principle for which these two powers,
above all Others stand sponsor.
Much is hoped for from the deliberations of the
Samoan Commission but it is not best to be
too sanguine concerning the outcome. All the
members must agree to make the work OF the
Commission effective. Germany cannot well re-
cede from the position she has taken and if the
American and English representatives decide to
sustain Justice Chambers the situation will prob
ably remain as it is. If on the contrary his
decision is overruled and Mataafa is installed
king there will be peace, for the Malietoa Tanu
party is not strong enough to carry on sue
cessful revolution without the aid of British and
American gunboats.
At all events one thing is certain the tri-
partite compact is an absurd farce. 1t is fraught
with danger to the friendly relations of the
Great Powers and the advantages are not worth
the risk. On the principle that sovereignty or the
establishing of protectorates over distant lands,
