Detroit, July 1.-THE 18th Inter
national Convention Of Christian En-
deavor closed Monday amid scenes Of
impressive solemnity attending the ut

president and secretary in each Of the

from each state and county represented
followed and the last exhortations were
by Bishop Vincent Of Kansas and
Evangelist Chapman of New York.
The reading Of a cabIegram from And
rev D. White, president OF the Amer

Hague, President Mckinley at Wash
ington, to his excellency, Lord Monte,
at Ottawa, and to her majesty, Queen
Victoria at Windsor, England.
The following statement as to the
attendance was given out by Secretary
Baer: without doubt the attendance
at this convention very much exceeded
that of any convention ever held. This
takes into account the meeting at Bos-
ton in '95. Out of the $4,000 Endeavor-
ers registered, which is the estimate OF
the reception committee and includes
the Detroit members, there have been
more who attended the various meet

estimated attendance at the meetings
gives a total of 29S 800"

Washington, July 9.-The insular
commission has prepared an exhaust
I've opinion by which it holds that the
islands IN the possession of the United
States as the result of the war with
Spain are not part of the territory
OF the United States. Copies of this
opinion have been furnished to the
secretary of war and attorney general
and 1t is surmised the latter will pre-.
pare an official opinion upon this inn
portant question. The commission
holds there is radical difference be-
tween the territory of the United
States and the territory in the possess
sion OF the United States. 1t has been
generally conceded, it says, that we
can do as we please with the islands
which we obtained from Spain. If this
general admission is true then, it af-
firms, the islands cannot be a part of
the territory Of the United States, be-
cause no part of the United States can
be alienated. The supreme court has
held that military occupation does not
extend the boundaries of the United
the Spanish cession merely confirms
our military occupation. There was
nothing in the treaty of Paris which
made the islands we obtained
part of our territory. In this respect
there was a marked difference from
those by which we obtained Florida
and Louisiana. The situation with ref
70
ippines, the commission says is prac-
tically the same as that of the territory
acquired from Mexico in the war of
'46. There was military occupation of
New Mexico for five years before con-
gress by enactment extended the SOW
ereignty of the laws of the United
States over it and amalgamated it with
the union. Once Porto Rico and the
other islands are recognized as terri
tory of the United States the decision,
the commission holds, is irrevocable
All the laws of the United States are
Immediately extended over the islands
and citizenship is conferred upon The
inhabitants. Commerce between
the islands and the United States
becomes free in virtue of the
constitutional provision prohibiting
the laying of duties between portions
of the United States territory. The
members of the commission believe
that the courts of the United States in
a decision on this question would of
necessity follow the political policy of
the government. They have prepared
code of laws for extension over the
islands. With reference to tariff du-
ties they believe much injury will re-
suit from the present condition. While
the military government has power in
Porto Rico, for instance, to reduce the
tariff on goods entering the islands it
has no power to reduce the tariff upon
exports from the island to the United
States. Therefore, they say, it would
be manifestly unfair to negotiate treat
les with other islands similarly situat-
ed.
