quadrennial conference of the African
Methodist Episcopal church In the United

continue for three weeks. In the selection
of delegates and in legislative functions

with Shiekh Dem Aleddn, who is credited
with having planned the murder of both
the shah and grand vizier Of Persia.

Regarding RIGHTS OF ASYLUM
state Department Further Defines
Its Position.

Washington, May 4.-,Tne state depart
ment has taken an advance in the posi-
ton relative to the limitation of right
CT asylum, as is exhibited in the CORE
spondence between the department and
United States Minister Tillman respect
ing the sheltering by the latter of an of
nicer of the overthrow government of
Ecuador last September While APPROX
in,r the course of the minister, Secretary
Oney took the ground that although
asylum might be afforded in the case Of
a member of an overthrow titular gov
eminent while chaos regns and until the
empire of the law is restored, when the
authority Of state is established on an
orderly footing, no disparagement of its
power under the mistaken fiction of extra
territorality can be countenanced on the
part of representatives of this govern
ment. In this the members of such gov
eminent are therefore placed upon equal
ity with unsuccessful revolutonists who
can not find in the United States lega-
tons an asylum against the operations
of the local law.

has been demonstrated in oriental coun-
tries that a government cannot maintain a
high state Of civilization and prosperity
under a commercial policy SO restrictive as
to radically curtail Its trade relations, while
on the other hand 1t is reasonably claimed
that the country with the greatest COM
mercial facilities will eventually .outstrip
in progress and. civilization the country
that trades only within itself.
This leads to the conclusion that there
should not only be sufficient duties levied
