There Is y great deal OF misunder.
Standing regarding the Status OF the mill
itln, or National Guard, In the event of
a war with Spain and as TO Its liability
under orders from the President. The
constitution OF the United States an
swers fully the question whether the
President has the power TO order the Ma
Stional Guard OF a state TO do military
duty In another state or country. In case
OF war or Invasion. The constitution
gives the President the power to provide
Tor calling out the militia only to execute
the laws OF the United States, to sup
press an insurrectlon, or to defend the
country from invasion, He can also
provide for the organization and arming
ofthe militia, and governing It's actions
at any time that 1t may be employed In
the service OF the United States,
In any case OF invasion Congress can
authorize the President, who Is COM
mander-in-chief OF the militia after It
has been called into the national service,
to order out the state troops convenient
to the point OF a threatened invasion by
a foreign power, and he can designate
the superior army officers to take COM
mard. This, 1t will be borne In mind,
does not give the President power 70 or
der the militia to foreign country for
the purpose OF invading that country, as
would be the case II 1t were ordered to
Cuba. The President is given no au.
thority OF this kind. Tho only way in
which the President could be given an
authority which might accomplish the
purpose would be for Congress to pass
an act recurring every eligible citizen
of the country to enter the army, by
draft or otherwise. In such case, of
course, the militiamen in the various
states would be as liable to draft as

Washington. June 23.--The expected has
happened and the senate committee on
judiciary today reported adversely on the
nomination OF Mr. e. K. Meek to be Judge
of the Northern district of Texas. This has
been a hard fight and the decision Of the
committee has often been In doubt. This
is q distinct victory for Senator Chiffon,
who has earnestly made the fight against
the introduction of political exotics In
Texas, and especially on the Texas bench.
The fight is now transferred to the floor
of the senate in executive session and Tbe

Chiffon will be as successful there as he

CHINA IL FRIENDLY.
HerMinister Called Mt the state De.
pmrimCMf ArsIeruN.


Washington June %. The Chinese min
lister was among the callers at the state
department today and it was inferred that
the visit had reference to the action OF
China in ordering the dispatch boat Ia
fro of Dewey's fleet away from China
waters.
The minister feels confident there is
some misrepresentation over the action
towards the Zafro He says China has the
most friendly feeling toward the United
states and that the government certainly
would take no action preludcal to this
country unless it was necessary in the
maintenance of strict neutrality.
He thinks that any trouble that may
nave arisen is due to the question of au-
tnorily over certain territory surrounding
Hong Kong. China does not want its
action to be taken as evidence of i'll will.
The technical reason for the expulsion
OF the zafro would be sufficient, it is
believed, If SHE undertook to take on sup
pies for Dewey at a Chinese port.
Neutrality laws prohibit a belligerent
vessel from returning to the same port In
Il neutral country within three months

tact, several trips back and forth from

New London. Conn, June 2S.--The great
intercollegiate aquatic contests, which for

In the freshmen's race, however, the sure

universal custom. the Ithacan novi,iates were
relegated to last place. while the first year

was battle royal.
The first race was unnteresting, except to
Comedians, after the first quarter of a mile

secured at the start was taken away at this
point, and Courtney's men were not again

never been seen in America than Captain
Colson and his Cornell crew showed through
out the race. The work OF Yale, the second
crew, is capable of Characterization as first

in the running. The Cambridge men pulled

If the university race of the early afternoon

which started ut 1903, was thrilling to the last
degree. Every yard of the course was fought
viocusly. and the result was In doubt until
