The correspondent of Chicago paper
says: The Cabinet at It's meeting Tues
day decided to suspend negotiations
with the insurgents through the Philip
pine Commission and the commission
will beIuickly dissolved. The President
and his cabinet advisers have reached
unwise to maintain the commission
and attempt to negotiate with the in
surgents for surrender. An aggressive
campaign has been ordered. reinforce
ments have been provided for General
Otis and the army prepared to deal
crushing blows. The military men OF
the service will be given full sway.
Colonel DENLY and Professor Wor-
cester. the two civilian members Of the
commission now In the Philippines. will
be promptly ordered home and the in
surgents notified that any communica-
tiOns they may have to make in the di-
rection of surrender must be addressed
to General Otis.
The Cannon prize fight act was de-
clared unconstitutional Monday by
Judge Johnson of the District Court,
who says that the law is class legisla-
tion. An appeal undoubtedly will be
taken to the Supreme Court. The de-
cision was given In the suit to dissolve
the Injunction granted by Judge Ruck-
or to restrain the Fire and Police Board
from interfering with sparring exhihi-
tions. The injunction was dissolved
and the bill dismissed at cost of the
plaintiffs. the Colorado Athletic Asso-
cintion. Judge johnson said: "Thc
Cannon law is bad. First because as
Il criminal statute. II has no penalty
clause attached: second. because II Is
not self-0perative; third. because II Is
special legislation; fourth. because
more than one subject is contained in
the body of the act. Ii is a universal
rule of construction that penal stat
ute which provides no method of pun
ishment is null and void for the pur-
pose for which 1t was intended. 1t
may not be unconstitutional, but it Is
Il mere dead letter In the way of en-
forcement and Is no better than IL It
had not been passed"
