The TAYLOR Indictment

was duly confirmed in our Frankfort des-
patches of last night The fact has not

presses incredulity. He may do so; but
that course would probably be in opposi-
ton to the views Of many adherents who
are understood as advising him to absent
himself from the jurisdiction Of the Ken
lucky courts. OF course as a matter of
law and theory. that jurisdiction is eoter-
minous with the boundaries of the Com
monwealth; but at the present time it is
more than suspected that there are eastern

BOXERS AGAIN ACTIVE.
Unofficial Adyiees Indicate Grave
Conditions in China.


According 10 unofficial adgiees received
at the State Department. the Chinese Box
ers are again active and are likely to cause
trouble OF a serious character. So grave
is the outlook in the eyes of the German
Foreign Office that another German war
ship has been sent to Taxu. the port near
est the seat of trouble. This makes four
ships that Germany has now at Taku.
According to press dispatches, the Box
ers have been active during the past two
weeks. The strength Of the Boxers has
increased very materially and the Chi
nese, especially In the Shangtung Prov
ince. which lies within Gernany's sphere
of influence. have been aroused by The dis
termination of alleged warnings 81 the
gods that unless the foreigners are driven
out China viii be afflicted with drOuth and
other evils.
These stories have had their effect and
feeling or suppressed hatred toward the
foreign class is becoming more and more
intense. The Boxers are openly threaten
ing harm to Germans. Americans. and En-
glishmen. and according to all reports
there is likely to be an outbreak OF serious
proportions unless the eonspirators are
awed by a show Of force on the part OF
Germany or the United States IL seems
that nine-tenths OF the Chinese officials
are secretly influencing the Boxers and
imbittering them toward the entire foreign
population
At the State Department IL was learned
late yesterday thai no action will be taken
by the department until official adyiees
confirming the reports already at hand
have been received from the United States
Minister to China. In anticipation OF trou-
bic nom the Boxers care has been taken
by the Navy Department 10 have vessels
nearest the seat of trouble ready TO sail at
moments notice. Two ships, the Wheel

The Canal Mystery.

What is the reason that the Admins
tration is willing to let the House pass
a Nicaragua Canal bill which provides
that the United States shall "excavate.
construct. and protect" the work. when it
will not permit a measure to pass pro-
viding that the United States shall "exca-
waite. construct, and the defend" the same?
The difference in terms does not appear
great, but there may be a constructive
difference which could only be explained
by some private understanding with Great
Britain, and perhaps. other powers. 1t is
worth remembering that the Clayton Bull
wer Treaty included a secret article. which
was never submitted to the Senate for
ratification. which vitality affected and
Initiated the portion that was submitted.
and that, thereby, the Clayton-Bulwer
Treaty was never in force, because the
negOtiator on the American side was in
competent to bind his Government except
through the constitutional action of the
treaty ratifying power.
Careful observation Of the policies and
movements Of the present Administration
renders US timid about giving It the bene-
fit Of any doubt as to the improperly OF
its purposes. Otherwise we might be In
Clined to think that. perhaps. this sudden
willingness to accept the Hepburn bill with
changes apparently, but perhaps not really,
immaterial. is a result Of political con-
siderations Of a sectional character. It is
generally reported that the Senators and
Representatives from the Pacific Coast have
all assured Mr. Mckinley that, if he doe.
not allow a canal bill to go through al
this session, he will lose the Pacific States
Ordinarily this might be taken as sufficient
reasons for suspending obstruction. on re.
ceiving some slight concession from the
friends of the American canal proposition
But two-faced insincerity has marked
every move Of the Administration in con-
nection with the canal from the outset. W.
do not forget that the ay-Pauncefote
Treaty was handed around the cabinets OF
Europe and cut and trimmed TO meet their
views before its terms were made known
to members Of the Foreign Committees OF
either House Of Congress. Neither is it
forgotten that the Administration is de-
termined yer to fasten that treaty upon
the country. the angry protest Of the Amer
lean people to the contrary notwIthstand-
ing.
Mr.. Hepburn appears to believe that the
changes made in the Nicaragua Canal
measure VIII not prevent resort 10 any
means which hereafter may be deemed
necessary to the protection" of the wa
terway- On that theory we suppose he has
consented to obey the executive order, and
his bill viii be permitted to come before
the House aud reach vote on May 2.
When it goes over to the Senate there win
be Administration amendments and when
finally. it gets out of conference it may
be the Hay-Pauncefote Treaty. We are
not optimistic.

the tablet recently set rp in the Fifth Avenue
Presbyterian Church in this city. in memory of
Dr. John Hall Ii simply gives the dates OF his
birth and death, and says that he was pastor o!
this church from November 3. 1857, to September
II, 1888, and then ends with this singular text:
There remaneth, therefore, rest for the people
OF God" That his departure should give rest 10
the people Of God is what some who remember the
discussions in that church the last year or txo OF
his life do not like 20 have suggested That /.
not what the committee meant by the Scripture
passage; neither did Cowper mean by the lines:
