surpassed in extent by some of the har-
bors of Australia and China, there Is
not one whose advantages are greater
and where the safety of feet from
storms or attack is so assured or so
easily provided for. The island itself
is volcanic and the harbor originally a
crater. The dimensions of Tutuila is
about 10 miles in extreme length and
is one vast range of mountains, some
of them $500 feet high.
The harbor is an ideal one with n
narrow and deep entrance about one

throughout its entire extent depth

rHg PRESIDENTS POLICY.
Attitude of the Administration
Towards Our New Poa-
sessions.

. Mr.. Henry Loomis Nelson is SO well
known as careful, conscientious and
intelligent journalist that his Inter
prctations" of the presidents "coloni-
arpoliey in the Sunday Post-Dispatch
may be accepted as authoritative. MIR.
Mckinley talked freely, wisely choos-
ing this as the best way of getting his
views before the country,
The presidents announcement is the
most important political utterance
since the establishment Of the govern
ment. except, perhaps, the emaneipR-
tion proclamation, II is revolutionary.
"The president believes that congress
has plenary power over Hawaii, Porto
Rico and the Philippines"
That Is. in governing the colonies,
congr ess is not restrained by any con
stitutionnl limitations, II Is absolute.
Further. congress may refuse 60 the
natives (of Porto Rico. Hawaii, etc.)
and TO the American citizens who may
go TO our colonies the right of jury
trial, the right of free speech the
right to bear arms. the right of peace
able assemblaRe and OF petition"
The presidents conclusions are not
the result of legal inquiry or judicial
study. They are the product of par
tisan necessity.
"our new possessions must not be
permitted to injure any of our pro-
tected interests
This doctrine, though revolutionary
is not new or strange, The Roman re-
public conquered foreign peoples and
governed them for the benefit of Rome
and Romans. MIR, Mckinley proposes
to do the same thing--to govern the
people Of Porto Rico, Hawaii and the
Filipinos without reference To their
welfare, but primarily for the CONNER
eial benefit of Americans, and in order
to accomplish this he proposes TO re-
pudiaie every principle of American
policy and give the lie to every Ameri
can principle,

ahzing the advantages Of being pro-
tccted by powerful nation. They are
all nominaIly Christians. though not
all of cne sect. Most OF them follow
the English missionaries, though few
are Catholics. A good many heathen
superstitions and customs survive. The
wcmen are the most virtuous savages
in the world, though their marriage
customs seem to more civilized nations
somewhat lax. The marriage relation
endures only so long as mutuallyagree-
able, when a separation Is at once
granted. Several of the workmen who
are constructing the wharves have
formed alliances with the natives, who
make good wives and are extremely
proud of their white husbands. They
are industrious and make good house
keepers. There are many chiefs among
the natives and they are accorded GER
tain privileges and great Difference. but
the paramount chief over all is Mounga,
a magnificent specimen Of physical
strength, who stands six feet two
inches in his bare feet. His wife Is
considered fair type OF an island
beauty.
The island is productive and yields
ample supplies of bread fruit. taro and
bananas. which constitute the princi-
pal articles Of food consumption. The
waters also abound in fish, and the
natives are very expert In catching
them.
Besides the natives raise quantities
of pigs and fowls, which they sell TO
passing vessels. The community is a
happy one, and quarrels are infrequent.
The climate Is very warm and enervat'
ing, though the workmen employed at

Turkish Minister at Washington in
- Peck of Trouble.
he Does Not Know What 90 DO with
His wlfe-Vu1Gar Curiosity Has
Upset All OF His ExceIIency's
Domestic Plans.

Ali Ferrouh Bey, the Turkish minis
ter, who has announced his intention
of taking his wife out of Washington
TO the seclusion OF a high-walled SUI
hurban home. Is not the only Turk
whose mission abroad has been rendered
painful through the religious and So
cial customs of Moslems concerning
women. Sheriff Pasha, the porte's min
lister TO Sweden, was unusually fortu-
nate in that his wife was an Egyptian
princess who was not bound by the in
exorable laws of the harem. But Saadu-
liah Pasha, the Ottoman ambassador
10 Vienna. found the yoke of Moslem
bitter indeed, for this poor man was
driven TO suicide by separation from
his family; and Mohammedan's fam
lily Is his dearest possession in this
earthly life.
Saaduliah Pasha had been the sui
tan's representative at the court of
Vienna for 90 years. In all that time he
had seen his wife and children only
now and then. The prohibition OF the
sultan forbidding his diplomatic serv-
ants 10 take their wives with them was
carried to excess in his case. The
spouse of Saaduliah was taken i'll and
II was feared she would die. The hus-
band asked for leave of absence to go
TO Constantinople. Permission was
withheld and Saaduliah's heart was
broken. He put an end to his life and
his troubles at one blow.
This tragedy was not without effect
on the heart of the sultan. Hence, when
