The 18th amendment to the con.

yides
Neither slavery nor involuntary
servltude, shall exist within the
United States or any place subject
to their jurisdiction.
Nevertheless President Mckinley
has made an agreement with the
Sultan Of Sulu. one OF the indie
pendent monarchs OF the Philippine
Islands whereby the United States
is to pay HIS Royal Highness a
stated sum yearly, and also guar
~antees to him that the domestic
institution of slavery shall be pro-
tected and upheld in his domain;
aud further that polygamy shall be
maintained under the protection Of
this government, in return for all
OF which the Sultan's country is
transferred to the jurisdiction of
the United States. There was a
time in the history Of this country
when a President who had taken q
solemn oath to support the consti-
tuition Of tho United States would
have hesitated long time before
he would have violated its plain re.
-quirements in such brutal manner.
But that was before Hanna became
the owner Of the land, and the
master OF its chief executive.

Jackson, Miss, September 7.-Thc
fight which has been waged in Mis-

weeks against the Southeastern Tariff
Association on the grounds that it is
amenable to State statue against

brought to an end today by the asso-
citation announcing it's intention to
abandon the stamping Office and
board for the purpose of preventing
rate cutting among the local agents.
The situation has assumed n very
serious aspect until the association
abandoned its position, and tho State
was on Tho verge Of a big insurance
muddlo.
Governor McLaurin had announ-
cod his intention of proceeding
against the Southeastern Association
by means of an injunction to pro-
hiblt the stamping office, and also
prevent the companies therein and
thoir agents from doing business in
the State by withdrawing the for
mer. The Supreme Court has do
clded the association to be trust
within tho moaning Of tho Mississippi
statutes, and mcmbors of the Logis-
lature, which meets noxt January are
expecting some lively litigation on
the subject Of insurance with tho
purpose of putting all comranies op-
Grating in the State under State con-
troll. The complaint against high
rates IS quito general and the agents
are indulging in somo very lively
ratio cutting in ordor to secure busi-
ness.
