Senator Morgan says the Islands Must BE
Divided Up Between the Three Ma
tIons-secretary Hay Talks

Washington, April Ex-senator John
7. Morgan, of Alabama, 4 leading
member Of the foreign relations COM
mittee, when asked for an expression
on the Samoan problem, said: There
is only one permanent solution Of the
Samoan question. That is partition
Of the island by the three great pow
ers, which have by common desire just
formed a commission to reconcile the
differences between themselves and
the native SamOans."
The secretary of state in converse
ton said that neither Of the three
powers to the treaty of Berlin had
scored victory in the arrangement
Of the Samoan matter. nor suffered
defeat. All three of them were, he
believed, aetuated by the same desire
to reach a peaceable and honorable
solution of 4 state Of things, which
was not only most regrettable at this
time, but likely, if neglected, to 60
rapidly from bad to worse.

NILE Ticket Law UBoonstItutIonaI.

Washington, April IS in the United
States supreme court an opinion was
handed down BY Justice Peckham,

part Of the law affected is that
providing that these tickets shall
be good for two years and shall be
sold at a reduced rate Justice Peck
ham said that the provision was not
the exercise Of a power to fix maximum
rates and not a fair regulation Of the
railroads, but an improper IN reference,
the legislature having no right to dis
criminate, as was done in this act I'VE
cannot he said, regard this excep-
tiOnal legislation as the exercise Of a
lesser right which is included in the
greater one to fix BY statute maxi

concluded its direct testimony against

is to be the defense or if insanity is to
be in any degree relied upon as part

also because the state has shown some
