Reported Destruction of Juan Fer
nandez Island.
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE OF NAVAL OFFICER
Revelations Under Torture of the
Turkish Conspiracy
CURRENT FOREIGN MATTERS

SAN FRANCISCO, December PA few
weeks ago a vessel putting in at Lisbon.
after trip around Cape Horn, reported
the destruction by volcanic action of the
Juan Fernandez Island, famous as the
tabled home of Robinson Crusoe. The mas
ter claimed to have seen the catastrophe
from the deck of his vessel The report
was not given credence at the time by
scientific men, and many denials are print
ed in papers and magazines.
But Capt Powells of the British ship
James Kerr, now in port, asserts that the
story is generally believed by seafaring
men all over the world. The James Kerr
recently arrived from Newcastle, N. S. W.,
where she was laid up four months on ac-
count of the coal strike. Capt. Powells met
very large number of master marines
there, and says that the destruction of the
island was a matter of common gossip
among them. The captain himself has not
passed within sihht of the island since
1889, when he secured an excellent photo
graph of it from the deck of his ship. He
says that some Of the captains who ar
rived in Newcastle while he was there
verified the report that the island was
missing.

A REvENGEFUL GIRL.
Tried to Poison Whole Family in

Special Dispatch to The Evening star.
ROCKVILLE, Nd, December 24.-Mont-
gomery county is greatly worked up over
the attempted poisoning of an entire fam

murders. Mr. Charles Young is a we'll

PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS
Those Opposed to Mr.. 0lney Think They
Are Misunderstood - 81
No Denial of the Presidents Powers
Only a Question as to Author H..
ity of Congress-.

Senators and representatives are COM
mentipg on the apparent misunderstanding
the public have of the issue that has been
raised by-Mr. Olney between the executive
and the legislative branches Of the govern
ment. The recognition yesterday by the
President of the Greater Republic Of Gen.
trail America has been referred to in the
press as il this act by the executive related
to the question In controversy. Those who.
resent the assumption by Mr.. Olney of an
inherent power in the President superior to-
acts of legislation call especial attention to
the fact that the Presidents right to rec
ogniZe a Lew government Is not called into
question by Congress and has not been.
There is no sort of dispute over this. 1t is
a wcll-known fact that the President may,
without reference of the question to Con-
gresS, give such recognition.
The present controversy proceeds from
the declaration that it is not in the power
Of the law-making authority to direct. the
President to grant such recognition-the
declaration that the executive Is para
mount. 1t is not contended that the Presi-
dent must ask the permission OF Congress
before granting recognition; nor is 1T claim
ed that Congress alone by simple resofu-
tion could direct the President to take the
action desired. The proposition Of Con-
gress is that nothing that is not in viola
ton of the Constitution is beyond the au-
thority of the legislative powers, composed,
gress and the President. or of stwo-thirds
of both houses.
The antagonists of Mr.. Olney point out
TIE fact that Congress is not seeking 10
curtail the powers of the President, but
that Mr.. Olney, presumably speaking for
the President is seeking to curtall the pow
ers of the lawmaking branch of the gov
ernment. Tney say that recognition Of
Cuba might be given voluntarily by the
President If Congress were silent on the
subject, or 1t might be withheld at his dis
Cret.on, but that If an act goes through the
ferns provided by the Constitution, and be-
comes a law, the President is compelled to
obey that law, whether it was perfected by
his signature, by the expiration of ten
days without veto or by two-thirds vote
of the House and of the Senate following
a veto. ......
Tne contention of Mr.. Olney, as they ex-
plain it. .s tnat the President may ignore
a law enacted in accordance with the Con-
stitution. They insist that the President.
can never be superior to a properly enacted
law.
The Importance of the question does not
depend upon the matter of the recognition
or non-recognition of Cuba, but strikes a
the very root of popular government. Many
of the ablest men in Congress regard Mr..
Olney's assumption as attempt at the
usurpati ton of power, which would be
tremely dangerous if permitted.

The oldest employees of Congress say
that they do not remember time before

tol so utterly destitute of statesmen as
now. All the senator's and representatives
who have been al the Capitol since the two
mol ses adjourned will hardly reach the

uted to the fact that there having been no
holiday recess last year, the statesmen are
determined 20 make the most of this Last
year both houses were in session all
through the holiday season, except on
Christmas day and New Year day. The
holiday adjournment was prevented by the
