tion of these imperial powers. His conduct
in the governing of our island acquisitions
does not justify the suspicion that, person.
ally he demands these vast powers for his
own aggrandizement or for any imperial
purpose. His conduct has established be-
fore the world tie great fact that an
American President. inspired with self-con-
troll and self-abnegGtion. is superior to the
temptations of unlawful and unhallowed
ambition
Mr.. Morgan argued against granting i'm
perial powers to the President in the Gov
ernment of the Philippines.
Il do not believe that he should have
these extraordinary powers" said he. "All
OF our Presidents may not be Washingtons
and Lincolns. and the delegation of unusual
command may result in great trouble. We
have had one instance of this in Cuba in
the past year and now it is asked in this
bill that the President shall control the
s30.ooo,0C0 per year used in the Philippines.
Mr.. Mckinley is in the position of all lat
ter day politicians. He is forced to divide
the spoils among lesser politicians and
campaign managers. He is now before
the country as a candidate for a second
term and yet he wishes to have all of this
power If he is elected again. l should not
think that he would ask for this power. 1t
does not seem as though he should ask it.
Congress has never been requested to dele
gate SO much power to one man before
Discussing the ratification of the Treaty
Of Paris, Mr.. Morgan said II was in
favor of the ratification of the Treaty Of
Paris and still adhere to that conviction
of duty. / believe il Is the most advan-
tageous treaty next to our treaties of an
nexatiou with Mexico that the United
States has made in the nineteenth century.
/ am proud of the motives and their heroic
support by our Army and Navy that forced
this treaty from an arbitrary. cruel Span
ish- bourbon despotism and again opened
the way for our republican institutions.
welcomed this open door of relief to the
people of the South. especially, in their
honorable struggles to repair the losses
and humiliations of the war between the
States. and / honor the President and our
commissioners for leading us in this course
of national duty to a glorious result.
The idea of giving the President the
powers of dictator in the Philippines
seems to be liked by the Republicans, but
it is proposition SO wrong. SO criminal,
that every honest Senator would do we'll
to remain here and fight it. l now sey
that it is true that the demon Of imperial
ism has raised its head in Porto Rico and
in the Philippines. This is the true atti-
tude Of the Republican party. and they
will give their President, as their agent,
the powers of an absolute autocfat. The
party has violated the Constitution by
granting certain railroads special tariff
rates in Cuba, and 1t will continue by de-
grees TO tear down and destroy that docu-
ment and raise Imperialism where our ia
theirs placed freedom

night at the Stafford Hotel Mt Pleasant.

practically in the reelection of the old
board, as follows:
President. H. H. Twombly: First Vice
President, T. A. Harding; Second Vice
President. B. W. Holman; Third Vice
President, F. L. Campbell; Recording Sec
retary, F. L. Ayerill; Corresponding Sec

Chatfeld.
a. A. Chatfleld. reporting for the Com
mittee on Streets and Highways, spoke OF
the desirability of boulevard connecting
the Soldiers Home with Rock Creek Park.
owing to the near adjournment of Con-
gress, Mr.. Chattield thought best not to
have bill introduced this session. but in
the fall he thought the Mt. Pleasant Asso-
ciatlon should cause bill to be drafted
establishing such a highway and should
work for its enactment into law.
communication was read from the
East Washington Citizens Association rel
ative to the marking OF trees In the public
parks, part of which was as follows:
The parks and streets Of Washington
are ornamented by trees and shrubs gath
cred from many parts OF the world their
beauty is enjoyed by ALL but their educa
ttonai value and the pleasure to be derived
from them would be more than doubled II
they were properly labeled with their bo-
tenical and common names and their ma
tive habits"
The suggestion contained in the COM
munication was adopted and the secretary
OF the association iwas instructed to write
to the Secretary Of Agriculture and to
Colonel Bingham. 2the Superintendent or
Public Buildings and Grounds. requesting
that the plan be carried out.
Alexander Scaley called attention to the
mail collections In Mt Pleasant. stating
that in two particulars they were in need
of improvement. He said that the mail
which left the branch postoffice at 7:30 in
the morning was composed only OF that
deposited In the office. Letters placed in
the boxes late at night or early in the
morning were not collected in time for
the early mail. and had to wait until
about Ii o'clock before being sent in to
the general Office for distribution and de-
livery. AS result OF this arrangement
letter mailed after o'clock Sunday after
noon would not be delivered in many parts
of the city before Monday evening. After
discussion it was decided to appoint COM
mittee and cali upon the postal authori-
ties to ask that collections be made in
certain boxes. If not in all. before the
sending out of the early mail. The COM
mittee named were B. w. Holman. Alex
ander Scaley, and J. A. Watson.
A committee, consisting of H. H. Twom-
bly,. A. A. Chatfield. and F. L. Averill
was appointed to wait upon the Engineer
the sprinkling of certain streets in Mount
Pleasant
Much time was spent in a discussion
OF the proposed change in the manner Of
collecting taxes but without coming to
any definite conclusion.

at Richmond, Va.
His Death Recalls His Meetins John

Which the Latter Was XIII ID
Rivalry Over II Virginia BeIIc-Sur-
vivOr's Life Forever Embittered.

RICHMOND. Va. May 25.-Capt Page
McCarty, celebrated as an editor and
duelist. died tonight at the Retreat for
the Sick after long and painful illness.
He might be called the last of Virginia
duelists. for with him the class appealing
to the code of honor. In the old style, may
be pronounced extinct. The famous Nc
Carly -Mordecai duel is one Of the best
known of Old Dominion tragedies. Its
romance and pathos cannot fail to appeal
to all.
Thirty years ago or more Page McCarty.
then young man, went to the University
of Virginia to study law. His fast friend
and desk mate was John Mordecai. Each
came of family prominent in Virginia's
social and business world, and each. by
reason of many talents. played leading
part wherever he was placed. The two
completed the law course at the univer-
sity, Mordecai graduating with distinction.
McCarty. whose bent was toward journal
ism. taking a somewhat lower grade.
The friends returned to Richmond to
begin their life work. and Mordecai
formed a partnership with Col. John B.
Young. the celebrated criminal lawyer Of
that day. McCarty turned his attention
to newspaper and magazine work
The reigning beauty of the day in Rich
mond was Mary Triplett. one of the most
charming and queenly Of Virginia's
daughters. Hundreds worshiped at her
shrine. and she was known az the Belle
OF the South Mingling in the best So
ciety. Mordecai and McCarty constantly
met Miss Triplett. and soon were rivals
for her favor. outstripping. 1t is said all
the rest. The two, once such fast friends,
became estranged. although not exactly
hostile to each other.
Matters went on until great ball was
given, at which the exclusive portion OF
Richmond's social world was present.
Miss Triplett was. IS always. the centre
of attraction, and among her devoted cav
alters were Mordecai and McCarty. The
former was the favored suitor that night.
and the patience Of the high-spirited Nc
Carly was severely tried. Finally Miss
Triplett sighted him in such marked
manner that he left the ball thoroughly
enraged.
few days later local paper published
an anonymous verse Of poetry. which
read:
