CIRCULATION STATEMENT.
SATURDAY. FEBRUARY Il, 1aoo.
Are We Preparing to Fortif. |:

The WAYS of the new anti Monroe diplo-
macy under this Administration are past
finding out. at least in advance OF accom-
plshed facts. Even then. as in the case Of
the -Pauncefote Treaty. il is quite i'm
possible to feel any certainty regarding
what the State Department authorities re-
ally want or intend.
As far as the public is advised The Presi
dent and his foreign Secretary are urgently
anxious that the agreement TO build Brit
ish canal and to surrender the Monroe Doc
trine should be ratified by the Senate with
out the asking Of any inyidious questions
whatever. Yet. on the other hand We are
Told that the Government is actively negO-
tiating with Denmark for the purchase Of
the Danish West Indian Islands; and s,ith
Ecuador for the cession OF one of the Gala
pages Islands. And here is where the
mystery comes i'm. On the theory that the
Hay Pauncefote Treaty is to be our inter
national constitution for the future Of
what use to this country would be the pos
session of the insular possessions referred
TO" They would be convenient and yalua-
tie enough if We were allowed TO fOrtify
them; but that we could not do. because.
in the Hay Pauncefote Treaty We are for
hidden by our suzerain TO build any for
1iications to command the canal or the wa
fers adjacent thereto, All the islands in
question are in what Great Britain would
certainly hold to be waters adjacent. "

fed
Il cannot be that Mr. Hay does not know

Stocking Superstitions
Erom Notes and Qncries.)

loH MUGS anu fhtiitH.j
On the Welsh border it used to be considered
that the sures precsution against withcraft was to
wear the left stocking wrong side out, THIS leads
US TO another kind of superstition connected with
the harmless necessary hose-their value, when
properly worn or arranged, as charms or as pro
tections against sickness or pain. Ii you will only
take the trouble when you GO TO bed to cross
vour stockings and shoes you will be quite safe
from the grip or cramp Again. ii you hang your
stockings crusswise at the foot of the bed, with
Din stuck in them you need have no fear of night
mare; the bag has holy horror OF cross and pm
Wisescres have also been heard 10 declare that
If YOU will always put your left stocking and
shoe on first you will enjoy immunity from tooth
ache. This however. the most superstitous OF
r,nrtnIs will likelK take leave 10 doubt.

AN ADVERSE REPORT.
General Wilson Against the sale of
Certain Government Property.

thorizing Littlefield. Alvord & Co. 10 pur-
chase the plot of ground at the foot of
Twenty seventh Street, on the Potomac
River, the extreme western part of POto-
mac Park.
Littlefed. AlvOrd & Co. had leased the
property OF the War Department and had
constructed a wharf upon it. under an
agreement made in 1892. They sought by
the bill to obtain by purchase permanent
possession of the ground. General vii
son was ordered by the Secretary of War
to look into the matter. His report has
been forwarded 10 the Committee on the
District of Columbia for the Senate. The
report strongly condemns the policy OF al
lowing private individuals 10 encrOach on
the Government reservations. He says
that for some time the advisability of dis
possessing those who hold Government
property under lease has been considered.

4 was that great judicial authority. Chief
Justice Marshall, who declared that the
Constitution extends to all places over
which the Government extends" Since
Marshalrs time the Supreme Court OF the
Knitted States has reaffirmed his doctrine
on every possible occasion. There can be
no honest doubt in the mind Of any Coustl-
tutional lawyer that the clause of he Con
slitution which says "All duties. imports.
and eXcises shall be uniform throughout
the United States, applies as fully to the
Island of Porto Rico as Ia the District of
Columbia or the State Of Massachusetts.
1t remains TO be seen how many RePubli-
can Senators and Representatives Will shut
their eyes TO the clear evidence of the basic
law as eXpounded by an unhroken line Of
mighty American jurists. and help to pass
measure which they know to be as un-
Constitutional as it is cruel and inhuman;
and how many will Join the Democrats in
