THE PRESS.
WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 6.

There is a good deal of talk about the
recognition of the Cuban rebels as belllg-
erents and doubtless a strong appeal will
be made to Congress at it's coming session
to take that action. 1t is we'll for the
people who are so urgent to reflect a little
upon the probable result of such recog-
milton. There seems to be an idea in some
quarters that it would not complicate
US with Spain at all, but that is not the
opinion of Senator Morgan, the chairman
Of the Senate committee of foreign affairs
whose Americanism is vouched for by
Senator Frye. He says that recognition
would cause our vessels to be searched by
Spanish cruisers and would eventually
bring on war with Spain. SIT may as
we'll be understood, - he says "that
when we recognize the Cubans as bellig-
erents we draw the sword" This puts a
very different face upon the recognition
problem and makes it a much more seri-
GUS one than it has been generally regard
ed.

The Springfield Republican thin ks that
Mr.. John D. Rockefeller will miss a rare
opportunity if he fails to make public
statement, in connection with his latest
gift to the Chicago university, favorable
to freedom of thought and teaching in
that institution. Well, suppose he did.
suppose he declared In the strongest lam
guage that he was in favor of the greatest
freedom of thought in this institution,
suppose he declared that neither direosly
nor Indirectly had he anything to do with
the dismissal of Prof. Bemis, what would
be the result? Simply this, that every
paper in the country that has claimed
that Prof Bemis was removed on account
of preaching against monopolies would
pronounce him hypocrite and say that
he had put forth such a declaration
simply to cover an intention to suppress
freedom of thought and teaching With
in month President Harper, and Profs
Butler and Small have declared over their
own signatures that Prof. Bemis's views
and teachings had not the slightest
connection with his dismissal, yet the
charge has not been withdrawn Indeed
it has been reiterated hundreds of times
since their statements appeared.

The South Carolina constitutional con-
vention has finally settled the suffrage
question by adopting the following:
s'The qualifcatio for suffrage shall
be as follows: Residence in the Estate for
two years; in the county one year; in
the election district in which the elector
offers to vote four months, and the pay
me1it six months before any election of
all poll tax then due and payable.
Provided, however, that ministers in
charge of an organized church and teach
ers of public schools shall be entitled to
vote after six months residence in the
state, otherwise qualified
Registration which shall provide for
the enrolment of every eector once in ten
years; also an enrolment during each
and every year of every elector not pre-
viouSly registered undar the provisions of
this article.
Sup to January /, 1898. all male per-
sons of voting age applying for registra-
tion who car read clause il this consti-
tuition or understood and explain it when
read TO them by the registration officer
shall ba entitled TO register and become
electors.
.'Any person who shall apply for regis
tration after January 1. 1898, if otherwise
qualified may be registered. Provided,
that he can both read and write section
of the constitution or can show that he
owns ana mas pdiu all tdh6S COlleCGlDlS
during the previous year on property in
this state assessed at $500 or more"
There is nothing particularly
Objectionable in these except
the provision for registration be-
fore January l. 1885, but that is very
bad indeed land it is obviously construct
ed inIsuch way as to make it possible to
rule out the ignorant negro vote without
at the same time eliminating the igno-
rant white vote There could be no fault
found with an impartial educational
qualification applicable TO all persons Of
voting age alike, and if the clause referred
to had stopped with the declaration that
nobody should be allowed to register who
could not read clause of the constitu-
tion it would have been fair enough.
But when it also declares that a person
may register even if he cannot read pro-
yided he can understand and explain
clause of the constitution when read to
him by the registration officers it puts it
in the power of that officer to disfranchise
or ensranchise whom he pleases He can

THE SPEED OF OUR WAR SHIPS.

We have been boasting that we had the
fastest war ships in the world, and perhaps
our boasts have been well founded. But
Admiral Ramsay has gathered some sta
tistics that are not reassurlng Ihe
public idea of their speed has been based
entirely upon the number of knots per
hour that the vessels made in their trial
trips, and we have been inferring that
they could skim over ssthe ocean at race
horse speed. But Admiral Ramsay's fig
ures show that there is vast difference
between the speed that can be got out of
one of our war vessels when in charge of
the builders working for premium, and
that which can be had after the vessel has
gone into commission and is under the
management of naval officers. Some
difference would naturally be expected,
but the actual difference is far larger
than any one would have guessed
Our fastest cruiser is the Minneapolis
At her trial trip she made 23. 073 knots,
averaging that for four hours, and earned
for the builders, the Cramps, several hun
dred thousand dollars But the highest
speed she has made since she has been in
commission is 14.3 knots. Probably her
commanders could have pushed her some
what faster, but a. 3 knots is much nearer
her every day naval run speed than %.
The Columbia was equally disappoint-
ing, On her trial trip she made 22.S knots
but she has never exceeded 155 since.
The Baltimore, though she has been on
the China station, where it is likely she
had some hurried orders, has never ex-
ceeded 12 knots since her official trial
when she made over 20. The Philadelphia
has never got above 10 though her trial
trip record was above twenty. Here is a
comparative list of the knots made on
their trial trips and the maximum speed
since of our most important vessels.

THE MARRIAGE SETTLEMENTS.

The sensational statements which have
from time to time appeared purporting to
give the facts in relation to the marriage
settlements between the Duke of Marl
borough and Miss Vanderbilt have been
curiously wide of the mark. In point Of
fact, the deeds of settlement have not yet
been executed, although their terms have
long since been definitely arranged. In
relation to them and the other necessary
arrangements attending an international
wedding OF this Importance the Duke has
been represented by his English solicitor,
Mr. Robert Harding Milwarf, and by Mr..
Hugh L. Colo, of this city. The proceed
ings have been conducted with the ut
most harmony
What the settlements actually are is, of
course, known only to the parties and
their lawyers, and all statements concern.
ing them, their terms, or the total
amount on either side have been purely
efforts of the Imagination. The Herald
is able to state however, on the best au-
thority, that the settlements have been
liberal and suitable on the part of both
of the contracting parties
The Duke is in a position of greater
freedom to deal with his estates than is
usual with personages of his rank. After
the death of the late Duke the entails we're
cut off, except, of course, as to the palace
and park OF Blenheim, which were given
to the first Duke and his successors by
Queen Anne, and this leaves the bulk of
the ducal properly at the absolute disposi-
tion of the present Duke, enabling him
to make far more liberal arrangements as
to the future than might otherwise have
been practi sable.

When the young Duchess of Marl-
borough leaves her native land she will
take with her some wonderfully exquisite
gifts-souvenirs of her nearest and dear
est friends. While it was not absolutely
given out that silver plate would not be
needed at Blenheim. there seems to have
b cen a tacit understanding to that effect
aIuong Miss Vanderbilt's friends, most
of whom have given her jewels or such
trinkets as she may use on wear almost
in number. but there is scarcely one that
would not be the envy of great priD-
cess Mrs William K. Vanderbilt has
given to her daughter her entire marvell-
Gus set of pearls, consisting of one very
long string, which it would not be an
exaggeration to say IS quite yard in
length. The peals are beautiful and
evenly matched, and are said to have be-
longed once to the Empress Catherine,
of Russia. Any empress of to-day would
be glad to own them. Each pearl must
be half an inch in diameter.
siderably larger than those composing
the long string, each pearl alternating
with solitaire diamond
ANOTHER NECKLACE.
Still another necklace of pearls and
diamonds in antique gold aud enamel
setting is gift from Miss Vanderbilt's
aunt, Miss Armide Smith.
From her brother Harold there is cir
clet of diamonds, to which is attached
slender crescent of the same beautiful
gems which though intended for the head
can be worn for a corsage ornament
Other additions to the future Duchess
jewel box are beautiful square cut en-
erald set in a ring with diamond on
bilt; torquoise and diamond ring from
Miss Katherine Duer; blue enamel
watch, set with diamonds and pendant
to true lovers knot, from Mr.. Ivor
Guest; pendant heart, encrusted with
diamonds, from Miss May Goelet: a
unique pearl brooch, the irregularly
shaped pear suggesting to the artist the
body of a swan, the neck and sswings be-
ing carried out in diamonds from Mrs.
Richard M. Hunt; ring set with a
superb square cut sapphire and two dia-
pair of side combs set with small pearls.

declare that the applicant for registration
has understood and explained the clause
read to him or has not, and there is no
appeal from his decision He can and
generally will no doubt hold that the
black man neither understands nor ex-
plains and that the white man always
does. The same provision occurs ID the
constitution of Mississippi and 1T has
been used there to disfranchise the negro
without disfranchising the white. 1t was
invented for thai purpose, and the

troduced it into the Fundamental law of
