NAY HAVE TO CHANGE
IMPERIALlST POLICY.
Views of Cleveland and Harri-
son Have Great Weight
With the Supreme
Court.
THEY NAMED SIX Judges.
Speculation Is Rife as to Ehe Effect
These Circumstances Will Have
on the Decision of ColOnL1l
Cases.

Washington. Dec 19.-The speed
ofex president Harrison on the con
stitutiOnal features OF our cOlOnia
experiment has attracted general at
tention here, and has aroused very
different sentiments in different quar-,
tiers. Men who were uncOmmitted
have been greatly impressed by it.
Within the administration circle.
naturally, it is condemned wholesale.
Mr.. Harrison enjoys so general re-
spect as "A lawyer that his opinions
on the constitutional question are
regarded as settling it by Il large
number of laymen, who have felt at
a loss in discussing the technical
phases OF Imperialism. He is a dan
gerous foe for the administration to
face.
An attemgt is made now to show
that the Justices Of the Supreme
court put such questions to counsel
during the argument, which be@0n !
on Monday, as would point to de- |
cision in favor of the administration; |
but against this must be set the facts
that the whole court holds Mr.. Har-
rison's legal learning in high esteem;
that he appointed three OF the pres
ent members of the court: that three
Oi the remaining six are democrats
OF the Cleveland school; and that
while visiting Washington recently,
although he declined dinner at the
White House, Mr.. Harrison met a
group OF the justices at three other
dinners, all of which afforded oppor-
t1nities for the informal discussion
oftopics uppermost in politics, and at
IL time when there could be no imprO-
priety in such conversation.
There is a haunting fear among
the administration leaders lest. even
II the court sustains the legal side OF
the imperialist cause, there may fol-
low an agitation for the freedom OF
the Philippines as matter of moral
right, with Mr.. Harrison for its chief
sponsor, and with the effect of break ,
ing the SLATE" for 1904, and mean
while upsetting things in Congress.
Stranger things have happened.

The Presidential Vote.
Philadelphia Times.

Philadelphia Times.
The vote for president has been re
ceived from all the states with the
single exception of Michigan, aud the
estimated vote of that state will
vary but little when officially ascer,
tanned. The aggregate vote OF the
several candidates for president was
as follows;
Mckinley, republican, 1925, 900:
Bryan, democrat, 6,373, 342: Wool
ley, prohibition. 1S2, POI; Debs. so
cial democrat, 107, 900; Barker. pop
ulist, 45,24S.
Mckinley's plurality over Bryan is
increased from COB, 514 in 1896 to
SI1 .61S at the late election, being
an increase OF 24S.144. His major
ity over all was 2SG.T2S four wears
ago. and now it is 516,039, being an
increase Of 229,3
One remarkable feature of the pres
idential vote of 1900 is the fact that
1t is only 10,563 greater than the
vote east for president four years
ago. 1t is we'll known that many
sound money democrats refused TO
vote at all in 1896, and that many
free silver republicans also refrained
from voting because they did not
chose 10 vote against their general
political convictions. but certainly
much larger number of both demo-
Gratis and republicans failed to vote
at the last election.
No man was ever elected to the
presidency who received - many To-
iuctant votes as were east for Nj
kinley in 1900, and there were
doubtless many reluctant Democratic
votes east Tor Bryan, because OF the
money issue 1t is startling to note
the fact that fully 1000. 900 OF
Americans failed TO cast tlseir ballot
at the lasr presidential election.

, Mason City, Ia, Dec 19.-The cit
zens of Baskerville were shocked las
night when the young and beautiful
bride of John Freeman was dragge,
from her burning home in a dvin.

When the charge was made thai
her husband of a few short month.
had deliberately poured coal oil ovel
her bod y-after knocking her down
with a shoe and chlorOforming her
and had then set fire to their home
with his own hands, few believed that
such horrible crime could have oc-

To-day they were amazed to learn
that Freeman. confronted with
strong evidence OF his guilt. had con-
fessed the crime as charged and ad-

ance on her life and to get possession
OF her property, which he had per-
suaded her to bequeath to him in a
will made shortly after their mar

About three months ago Miss Ellen

infatuated with Mr. Freeman. De

held out matrimonial inducements
in the way Of a story in which she
represented herself to be the posses

to the fortune story. and they be

to Baskerville, they took up their
residence ina beautiful home. the
property OF the young wife.
The martial relations proved for n
time very pleasant, and the young
couple basked in the golden sunshine
Of domestic felicity. In some few
weeks 1t dawned upon the husband
that his marriage had not brought
nm such a great fortune as he had
expected, and, upon investigation.
he found that the great fortune the
young lady had claimed to possess

Disappointed in regard to this

He claimed Kentucky as his home and

He was very bitter in his denuncia-
