John F. Laird Critically III.

When prosecuting attorney John r.
Laird appeared in the cases at criminal
court last week he did so against the
advice of his friends. He had been
very seriously i'll with grip for several
weeks and was weak and in no condi-
tion to hazard any risks by going to the
court room where the air was foul and
contaminated. He returned home
Friday evening feeling very badly and
has suffered relapse, and is now dss-
perately and critically i'll. His friends
are extremely anxious about him, but
hope that he wiz be able to pull
through.

That charming tale of love, hate and
intrigue, so cleverly told by Anthony Hope
in 1.-THE Prisoner of Zenda," and revealed
in dramatic form by Edward Rose, will
be presented tomorrow night. The play
is admitted to be the current gem of the
romantic drama. The novelist construct
ed an unknown kingdom in the heart of
Europe and peopled it with characters
through whose veins surged the blood Of
modern life. Since the dayss of Dumas
"Musketeers," fiction has not furnished
more reckless, ready and companionable
lot of adventures than Anthony Hope
has given in his pen pictures of the mys-
terious Ruritania. The company is CON
sldered equally as strong and capable as
that of last season. The dual role of the
English Rassendyll and the Ruritanian
King is assumed by Howard Could who
achieved success in the part last year.

senator pIatt's Answer.

When Mr.. Hoar had concluded Mr. Plat

ly to the carefully prepared argument Of
the senator from Massachusetts. | can

conjuring up a specter (which is really

ton of his argument in erecting a man Of
straw, and the remainder of his argu-
ment in demollshing that man OF straw

represented what / said. i"
Mr.. Platt maintained that Mr. Hoar had
admitted his contention that this country
had the right to acquire and govern dis
tant territory, but that he had unfairly
presented what he (PlatD had said about
The acquisition and government OF such
territory. He then read from his own
speech paragraph showing that he had
held 1t 20 be the duty Of this country TO
provide for acquired territory a most lib
eral and enlightened system of govern
ment-a government IN accord with the
spirit Of the declaration Of INDEPENDENCE

The Other Side OF It.

81 have made a careful analysis of the
constitutional argument of the senator
from Connecticut. I think l can do ii
Justice. 1 have not followed the precise
order of his statements. But l have put
them in logical order. He says:
First-That the United States is a ma
ton, sovereign.
Second-That, as a nation it possesses
every sovereign power not reserved in the
constitution to the state or the people.
Third-That the right 10 acquire terri
tory was not reserved, and is therefore
an inherent sovereign right.
Fourth-That it is a right upon which
there is no limitation, and that in regard
to which there is no qualification.
Fifth-That in the right to acquire ter
ritory is found the right to govern it.
Sixth-That this right to govern 1t 10
also a sovereign right; and,
Seventh-That it is a right without con-
stitutional limit.
The senator from Connecticut proceeds
to establish these propositions by citations
from decisions of the Supreme Court; from
Mr. Webster from text writers, and from
legislative precedents. Not one of these
in the least helps him. From these pos
tulates the senator reaches the conclusion
that we have a right to conquer, hold and
govern a subject people of 10000, 900, with
out any constitutional restraint, such peo-
pie being entitled to no constitutional
rights, but subject to the uncontrolled will
of the American Congress.

Yet" said Mr.. Plat, with emphasis
and feeling. he holds me up here as OPP
posed TO applying to the people OF this
acquired territory the principles of Iegis-
lation in accordance with the spirit of the
declaration of independence and of the
constitution. The United States never
has legislated in opposition to the decla-
ration of Independence and 10 the consti-
tuition, and it never will.
Il want to say, Mr.. President. that an
application of the doctrines of
the senator from Massachusetts
would have prevented our expansion west
ward across this continent 70 the Pacific

erty which the fathers trod down into this

ism. But he has got TO make the entire

Mr.. President, the persons who favor
the ratification of this treaty without con-
ditons and without amendment differ
among themselves certainly in their views,
purposes and opinions, and as they are
so many of them honest and well-meaning
persons, we have the right to say in their
actual and real opinions In general, the
state of mind and the utterance of the
lips are in accord. If you ask them what
they want, you are answered with a shout:
Three cheers for the flag! Who will dare
to haul it down? Hold on to everything
you can get. The United States is strong
enough to do what it likes. The Declara-
ton of Independence and the counsel of
Washington and the constitution of the
United States have grown rusty and
musty. They are for little countries and
not for great ones. There is no moral
law for strong nations. America has out

1T may be that in some storm and tenn

the great contest for the freedom of the
vast territory between the Mississippi and

But they were overthrow and brought to

Our fathers dreaded a standing army;
but the senator's doctrine, put in practice
anywhere, now or hereafter, renders nee
essary a standing army, to be reinforced
by a powerful navy. Our fathers de-

salaries were paid by foreign power; but
