The diplomatic situation in China as
represented in our dispatches today may
be summed up in a few words. The min
listers at PeItin have added two to the list
of heads they insist upon having. Prince
Tuan and the ten other high dignitaries
must be executed before a peace settle
ment can be had The Empress Dowager
and her faithful Tuan are stirring up the
southern provinces to war against the
foreigners. Ii and Ching at Pekin are
smiling and suggesting that an indemnity
of two hundred million dollars, on easy
terms of payment, and the imprisonment
of Tuan and few others, ought to satisfy
the most exacting OF Europeans Arneri-
cans. and Japanese. We are afraid that
the heads and the money will be equally
difficult to collect, and that it will be a
good long time before the horrible atroci-
ties committed by order of the Chinese
Government will be avenged The State
Department is reported as having acceded
to the terms of the Anglo German agree
ment ignoring the alliance, with which
Mr. Hay very properly thinks We have Lac
concern.

TALK ON GOURTOF CLAIMS.
COUNCIL OF STATE TAKES UP
THE MATTER.
Insists Upon Investigating Items Of
Expense, as Well as Rules of the
Court-Otber Appropriations

The entire matter of the Court of
Claims was yesterday afternoon re-
ferred by the Council of State to its
finance committee. There was consid-
cradle discussion of the matter, and
several neat questions were raised One
Of the members went so far as to say
that the Council could amend the rules
of the court. President Dole thought
the Council could only recommend
amendments.
The provision of fee of $40 for filing
claims was the stiCkler for the Coun-
ell. Attention was drawn to the fact
that the claims OF number of poor
people would probably be very little
more than that Mr.. Achi contended
that the fee should be graduated or
increased in proportion to the size of
the claim. One member objected to Mr.
Magoon sitting as a member of the
court for the reason that he owned con-
siderable property that was burned by
the authorities. Mr.. Robertson object
ed to the principles of the court. He
said that the total awards would reach
would be impossible for the Govern
ment to pay In the first place his opin-
ion was against the court at all. Now
that it was established, however, its ar
rangement should be carefully consid-
cred. 1t was Mr.. Robertson's motion
uidt pdSStu lne OIL over TO the FINANCE
Committee.
Mr.. Damon introduced a bill appro-
priating $1,000 for further assistance to
relief camps l and 2, which was passed
and the money was made available at
once. 1t was explained that this was
the last money required for the pur-
pose indicated, as the camps would in
future be self-sustaining.
The report of the Executive denying
the petition of 800 japanese for exemp-
ton for taxes for the year 1900 was
adopted.
The report of the Cabinet, recon-
mending that the Zerbe claim go back
to the Legislature. shared a different
| fate, however, the Council insisting
upon considering it, and on motion of
Mr.. Gear decided to take it up with
Act 3.
The one other important matter dis
posed of during the afternoon was the
appropriation for the fire department,
the amount passed being $66,164 This
includes money for hose carts in Nuu-
anu, Palama and Waikiki, as we'll as a
new number-one firehouse, to take the
place of the one burned on King street.
| The bill also carried an item for new
| hydrants, which will supply water to
! the fire fighters.

A Big Salary, But

The New York World estimates that
Rockefeller's dividends this year will be
twenty millions of dollars and from
other sources fifty-fve millions-a total
of seventy-five millions that the people
will pay him to keep him supplied with
the necessities OF life so he can work
for them You may think this a rather
heavy salary to pay one mana salary
greater than all the crowned heads of
Europe draw.
"But," says an exchange, sit is not
too great a salary. Rockefeller is doing
more for civilization than he or you
realize. He is doing more to concen-
trate wealth in the hands of few, to
show that private property must CEN
tralize in the hands OF the cunning, to
prove that doing business on small
scale is so wasteful that it cannot com
pete with business done on gigantic
scale, to force people to question the
safety Of letting business be done for
private profit, than all the social agita-
tors of the nation.
1.-The worst luck we wish him is that he
will succeed in getting all the property
of the nation and all the other people
have none. Then all others will have
no interest in maintaining the present
insane system. Ninety per cent Of the
individual business men of the nation
will be out OF a job within the next ten
years. Industry OF all kinds will be
monopolized and harmonized ready for
the people who take it over and have no
jar in the process. Rockefeller is all
right.
zone of these monopolists holding
hundred million of property said to
friend Of mine recently, in response to
the question, Where is all this monop-
oily going to end? Well said he,
there is only one end possible. The
people will have to take all these
properties in self-defense, but we will
have a good time playing the game
before they wake up to the fact And
Rockefeller is doing more to hasten
that day than any other living man."

What the Wife Says.
From the Wilkesbarre Record
The family of the late William II.
Cooney, of East End, who made state
ments concerning the Corcoran murder
at Duryea, discredit the truth of the
alleged confession, as do the neighbors.
Cooney, it will be remem bered, died
at the City hospital, and when he saw
that life's end was near he made GER
tain statements to the officers which
nave been noted in the papers and
which implicated himself and two
others in the murder and robbery.
reporter called at the Cooney resi-
dcnce. One of the sons, Charles
Cooney, said at the time of the Corcoran
murder his father worked for Contract
or Schmitt and slept at home, and,
therefore, could not have been in
Duryea. The. family knew nothing of
the alleged confession until County De-
tective johnson and Peter Baur came
to the house and asked the mother
some questions.
The boy continued by saying that
when his father drank himself sick he
was put in jail on the fake charge of
larceny, and when they saw he was
dying they put him in the hospital.
detective johnson came and took a
revolver | had. He returned next day
with Peter Baur and asked mother If
my father confessed anything to her
about murder. We did not know
what they were about and were dazed
whom we saw the story in the papers"
Mrs. Cooney took the affair much to
heart and was in deep grief She is
left with eight children, the youngest
two years old. She denied that her hus-
band ever said anything to her about
being implicated in the Corcoran affair.
She said:
"He slept at home that night and got
up at o'clock next morning to 20 to
work. l got the paper and told him
there was another murder at Duryea.
He did not pay much attention, as he
was late and hurried to work When
he came home that night he began to
tell me that Mike Corcoran, the finest
man in Pittston, was killed and | told
him read it to him in the paper that
morning. My husband would not kill
a chicken" sobbed the widow.
The widow hoped the people would
not think her husband guilty.

Lehigh Valleys Owners,

From the Philadelphia Press.
The Lehigh Valley Railroad Company
is now considered a part of the Morgan
Vanderbilt interests. For years the
Vanderbilt following have held large
holdings of Lehigh Valley Railroad stock
and it is not much over year ago when
Morgan -Drexel & Co. took up the option
of $4,000 shares of the Packer estate
stock. These two holdings give the
Morgan-Vanderbilt party practically
control of the road. There are 800, 900
shares OF Lehigh Valley stock, but it is
so scattered that there is not much more
oyer 100000 shares voted. At the last
election, 437, 800 shares were cast for
each director.
Captain John Z. Green, first vice
president of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, on April %, stated that the
Pennsylvania Railroad was not buying
any of the Lehigh Valley stock, and
even II it so desired it could not do so as
it was contrary to law. The Lehigh
Valley Railroad, he contended, was a
competitor and his company had enough
experience of this kind in the South
Pennsylvania Railroad deal The Le-
high Valley Railroad Company is now
controlled as has been the case for some
years by the MorganVanderbilt inter
ests, and the buying of the stock OF late
has been by those who are identified
with them.
1t is a part of the program for the
Pennsylvania Railroad to look after the
bituminous coal carrying roads, and the
Vanderbit-Morgan interest to take
charge OF the anthracite coal carrying

Get Out of Cuba.

From the Phila. North American
Senator Hale's direct assertion that
powerful combination of capitalists and
spectators in this country is scheming
to prevent the withdrawal of United
States forces and officials from Cuba is
not satisfactorily met by Senator
Spooner's declaration that we have
given Cuba better government than it
ever had before and that mo one has
thought of violating our pledge to
Cuba"
The obvious way to convince the
Cubans that the pledge to respect their
independence was made in good faith is
to redeem the pledge. No sufficient
reason has been given for Withholding
the right from Cuba to manage her own
affairs. Our promise was that we would
restore peace and leave the island.
There is no pretense that state of war
exists today in Cuba or that the tur-
bnlence of the population is so general
that the presence of American troops is
necessary to protect life and property.
The Cubans say they are able and
ready to establish their own civil
government, and are satisfied that the
United States has done all that it was
bound to do in restoring order after the
war with Spain. They are certainly
justified in believing that they are capa-
BILE OF setting up as honesta a government
as we have given them.
Fear that the Cubans may not man
age their public business with wisdom
and economy is no longer an excuse for
not permitting them to try the expert
ment. II Cuban funds are to be wasted
or stolen, let the Cubans do their own
squandering and thieying, and take the
responsibility.

Gaughan and after pleading guilty were
fined $50 and costs each, amounting
to SCI. SO each, or total of $500 65.
