the future, shall by its enactment see fit
to extend the Constitution over the terri
tory is contrary to the holding of the SUI
preme court of the United States to the
effect that the general Governnent is one
of enumerated powers and can claim and
exercise no power not granted to it by
the Constitution, either expressly or by
necessary implication. 1t is clear that
the general Government cannot legislate
over territory where the Constitution
from which it's every power is derived
does not extend. The Constitution must
be in force over a territory before the
general Government can have any author
ity to legislate respecting it. No foreign
sovereign can invest the general Govern
ment with any legislative power
Numerous decisions are cited in sup
port of his opinion and he continues;
ct must be held that upon the cession
by Spain to the United States of the
Island of Porto Rico that island became a
part of the dominion of the United States,
as much so as Arizona or Minnesota; and
that the Constitution of the United States
ex proprie vigore, at once extended over
the island; and that this extension of the
Constitution gave Congress, whose every
power must come from that instrument,
the authority to legislate in respect to
that island as a part of the United States
territory 1t follows that all the provi-
sons of the Constitution in respect to per
sonal and property rights, including the
right to trial by jury in criminal prosecu-
ton, became at once, when the cession
was completed, part of the supreme
law of the land. The character of an
offense and the nature of its punishment
would be determined by the law in force
where and when the act was committed,
and laws of that character remain iii
force after the cession until changed; but
the manner of trial must depend on the
law in force when the trial is had, even
though the establishment and organiZa-
ton of courts must be awaited before
the trial can be had
The decision states that military law
being the sole authority the acts of a
military court were entirely legal and
the petition for writ of habeas corpus
was denied.

FIRE BELL QUESTION.
Agitation Has Now Reached the Sc
rious Stage.

The question whether to do away with
the fire alarm bell or to have it contin-
ued in use at the new fire department
headquarters has again Deen brought up
in the city council
When it was first suggested that the
fire department, city hall and auditor
made that the fire bell sounding when
there is a meeting in the Auditorium
would cause a panic in the audience. The
easiest way to settle that argument was
to say there would be no fire bell. During
the making of the plans and the cree
ton of the building nothing further was
said about the bell and the fire depart
ment expected to meet the emergency in
the best way possible. 1t was said that
it. is not necessary for the general pub
lie to know that there is a fire. But there
are other reasons for the fire bell.
The statement has been made that To-
peka is behind the times in ringing a
fire bell as was the custom years ago.
But it is still the custom in all but the
largest cities such as New York, Chi
cago and Boston to ring the fire bells
for an alarm of fire. Such cities as Kan
sas City, Buffalo, indianapolis, Detroit
and in fact all but the largest cities have
not one fire bell but dozen if neces-
sary so they can be heard in all parts
of the city. Topeka is not behind the
times but abreast of them.
With the Topeka department operat-
ing with the fewest men possible to good
service every man must be subject to a
or taking his regular day off. When men
are off duty and hear the fire bell ring
they know at once whether they are
needed and act accordingly. If a team
has to be taken to the horse shoers ard
an alarm comes in while the apparatus
is there the men know it instantly and
respond. If the teams are out exercis-
ing and an alarm comes in they receive
it Immediately and no time is lost in re-
spending. When the fire bell rings the
police know which way the companies
will go and they are on the alert to
keep the streets clear and the policeman
nearest the fire responds to the alarm to
keep back the crowd and see that out
siders commit no depredations.
Then the people in general wish the
fire bell. If there is a fire in the negh-
borhood of their homes or their business
houses they wish to know it. To do
away with the fire bell would greatly
inconvenience the department If there
is danger of a panic during a meeting
in the Auditorium the bell need not be
rung If there is a fire while a meeting is
being held.
1t might be arranged to refrain from
ringing the bell during the progress OF
the meeting in the Auditorium or it
might be located in another portion of
the city.

TO MOVE COTTON.
South Seeks Funds of New York SUBJ
Treasury.

New York. Aug. 1.-THE Herald
prints the following:
There was made upon the local sub
treasury yesterday the first demand for
funds to move the cotton crop. 1t was
very feeble. amounting only to $4,000
in silver dollars shipped to Texas and
Georgia, but it marks the commence
ment of the definite movement to the
south. A few days ago $4,000 in cur
rency was shipped to New Orleans,
which may or may not have been for
crop purposes. No doubt exists as to
the purpose for which the silver dol
lars were ordered.
Wall street is very much interested
at the present time in the future of the
money market. The heavy gold ex-
portations of the present and the last
week, amounting to upward of SIT ,000,
900, are expected to figure unfavorably
in the weekly bank statement of Satur-
day.
The shipments, however. have been
Offset in part by checks paid against
Alaskan gold and pension disburse-
ments. Despite this a heavy loss in
cash is looked for.

sBrautbeter,, in Illinois.

IF'rom the Chicago Times Herald
A curious wedding custom, a survival
of the folklore of the Fatherland, is
found in the German settlement about
Buckley, Ill, and in the townships fur
Their east. When young couple are to
be married the elder brother of the
bride starts out on horseback a few
days before. He is called the 'braut-
Internationally the bride inviter' If
the bride have no brother, some other
male member of the family takes the
place The summons of the "braut-
beter'' is just as effective in assembling
the guests as the engraved invitations
of society folk in the cities
The ''brautbeter'' is a picturesque
figure In his invitation trip he is the
recipient of many perquisites in money
or gifts, which, by right of custom, are
kept as his own. At every place where
he leaves an invitation to the wedding
the recipients are expected to give him
something. The size of the gift is regu-
lated by the circumstances of the re-
ceivers. 1t may be piece of money,
q bill or a coin, or it may be only rib
bon or a trinket. However small, the
present is invariably expected and
given.
AS the "brautbeter" receives his gifts
he pins the bills to his clothing or hat,
sews on the coins and ties the ribbons
10 his horses bride. AS he progresses
on his rounds the gifts are added one
by one till his clothes are opulent with
money and trinkets The circum-
stances of the "brautbeter'' are not
taken into account. Every receiver of
an invitation makes a gift in return,
which becomes the property of the
"brautbeteh." Like going fishing. the
returns from going inviting the uncer-
tain. They may amount to only SO or
81 or run up to SI4 or S15 as luck may
have it. OF course. the 'brautbeter"

fellows there
Old settlers in Buckley say the GUS
tom WAS transplanted from Hanover,
whence most of the foreign born popu-
latiOn comes. Nobody knows the origin
of the custom on the other side of the
water. They cling to the custom os one
of the precious institutions of the
Fatherland- The same custom is said
to exist among Germans of Hanoverian
birth in the northern mart OF Illinois.
