tience on the Part of the People.
New York. May A-Henry Clews, dis
cussing the war situation, says:
The commercial relations of this coun-
try were never on so substantial a basis
as today, which compared with Spain s
beggarly condition is certainly reassuring.
The only way for stock operators to make
money in the future is to forget relative
ly small troubles with Spain and look on
railroad earnings and the condition of the
growing crops from time to time.
1T is natural enough that the move
ments of the war do not keep pace with
the wishes of the sanguine speculator in
securities, who is always impatient for
quick results. Cooler heads. however, are
prepared to wait patiently for the out
come of operations extending over a line
of $500 miles and which have the whole
area of the Atlantic for maneuvering in.
An army of 10000 is not marshaled and
trained in day; and wise strategists will
never encourage stalking great battles up

OMAHA FAIRS OPENING.
Programme as First Announced Has
Been Elaborated.

Omaha, May 24.-The managers of the
Transmississippi exposition have just
issued handsomely engraved invita-
tions to the opening day ceremonies to
the national. state and municipal Off
cials, to officials of former expositions,
and to the press generally.
The programme, as first announced,
was found to be inadequate, so great
was the pressure for representation by
municipal and civic bodies in this and
neighbOring states. The procession from
the city to the grounds will be most
imposing, headed by the United States
Marine band, which President McKin-
ley permitted to visit the exposition for
two weeks. There will be ten other
crack bands in line. The inaugural ex-
grounds will present most interesting
features. The president will transmit
by telephone message of greeting and
congratulation. The event is booked
for noon on June 1.

TO LEVY TARIFFS.
Occupation of Manila Means Ad-

Will Be Collected as "War Con-

AUTHORITY ASSURED
War With Mexico Established
the Precedent.
Spain Collected Is Millions i'm
Philippines in 1897.

Washington, May 24.-In anticipation
of the early occupation of the Philip
pine islands by the military and naval
forces Of the United States, the treas
ury department has already begun the
formulation of regulations and
scheme of customs tariffs, which will
be collected by the military authorities
and turned into the treasury of the
United States as military contribu-
ton. That the president has authority
to collect the Philippine revenues under
existing conditions is not a matter of
doubt. 1t was several times done dur
ing the last war with Mexico, and the
authority of the government in the
premises was sustained by decisions of
the United States supreme court.
The court, in a case which grew out
of the capture and occupation of San
Francisco and all the upper part of the
state of California by the United States
troops, held that the president, under
the constitution commander-in-chief
of the army and navy, had a right to
exercise the belligerent right of con-
queror and to impose duties on imports
as military contribution for the sup
port of the army. This view was the
view held by the court in another case
where it was also decided the capture
of Tampico, Mexico, by the United
States forces, though sufficient to cause
it to be. regarded by other nations as
part of our territory, did not make it
in fact, a part of the United States un-
der our constitution and laws.
'It remained" said the court, ga for
eign country within the revenue laws
of the United States. The tariff rates
now being prepared by the treasury de-
partment will closely follow the Span
ish customs laws in force in the Philip
pines. Just what revenue they produce
is not known but the assumption is that
inasmuch as the home government re-
allied from them last year approxi-
mately nine million dollars, the actual
amount collected was SIS, 900, 900. The
government will assume control of the
revenues as soon as the principal sea-
ports are in our possession and will
continue to control them at least until
congress takes specific action in the
case or until peace has been declared
between the two countries"
