NEW YORK, February 1.-THE
World, tomorrow, will publish
summary of a long statement made
by President Mckinley to Henry
Loomfs Nelson, as to the American
policy toward the newly acquired is
lands. The article is vouched for as
an auth orftntiye Interpretation OF
the Presidents views.
According to Mr.. Nelson, at is
Mr.. McKinIey's belief and 1T will be
his purpose to carry the belief into
operation, that the consultation does
not apply to any of our new Islands;
that those people are not MT for self
government beyond that provided
for Hawaii, that our new posses
sfons must not be permitted to in
jure any of our protected interests,
and that free trade with Puerto RI
co is right because our protected
interests will not be injured there
by.
''The President believes, and this
Is the most important statement
that can possibly be made touching
his present beliefs, that Congress
has pIcnary powers over Hawaii,
Puerto Rico and the Philippines"
He holds that Congress mny pass
one tariff law for Puerto RicO,anotli-
err for Hawaii, another for the Phil
ippines, and that all may be differ
emit from that of the United States.
sit does not appear likely to his
mind that any question can ever
arise as to the civil rights of the
people of these places.
"Mr. Mckinley's attitude then, to-
ward the natives Is benevolent. He
desires to elevate them, to educate
them, and he hopes that, In the end.
they will become worthy of being
intrusted with local self govern
ment."

IN FRANKFORT TOMORROW
Both Democratic and Republican
Members of the Legislature VIII

meet.
FRANKFORT, KY. February H.
The adjournment of the Democratic
legislature at Louisville to-day to meet
here Monday revives interest in the
political contest and promises to end
the quiet which has prevailed during
the last few days. There are more
Democratic members In the city to-day
than have been here together at any
one time since they adjourned and
went to Cincinnati, Louisville and 9TH
er points to avoid being arrested by
the militia and taken to London, where
the Republican legislature was meet
ing.
But few of the leaders arrived to-
night, but those who are here say that
the sessions at Frankfort will con-
tinue as long as there is no collision
between them and Governor Taylor's
soldiers. No definite understanding
has been reached between the Demo-
Gratis and Republicans of the Senate
whether Lieut.. Governor MARSHALL, Re-
publican, or President Pro Tenn Carter,
Democrat, shall preside, but the de-
cision OF the Democrats to return to
Frankfort is generally construed as in
dicating that they concluded there was
no danger of a serious clash over the
chair.
Col. James Andrew Scott, one of the
Democratic attorneys in the contest
cases. and devoted friends of the late
Governor Goebel. is preparing a de-
fense Of the Goebel election law which
will be issued next week. 1t will be in
the nature of an address to the coun-
try, setting forth the provisions OF the
Law and correcting what Mr.. Scott
thinks is false impression with many
people as to its import and workings.

While Gen. Kelly-Kenny's or, rather,
Gen. Kitchener's dispatch referred to
the Boer rear guard as being Gen.
Cronje's, it Is still doubtful il that gen.
eral is personally with it, and 1t is

and hostile demonstrations outside the
offices of newspapers sympathetic to

of ministers supposed to be in sympa-
thy with the burghers. The relief OF

WASHINGTON, February 1.-THE
Republican members of the conference
committee having charge of the finance
bill, held protracted session to-day,
beginning at II a. M, and lasting I'M
til shortly before 6 D. m. During part
of this time, Secretary Gage was pres
emit, having been invited to give his
views upon certain features of the
measure. At the close of the days
session it was stated by members of
the conference that no conclusion had
been reached ON the bill as a whole or
any single proposition, the entire time
being given to preliminary discussion
in the general principles involved.
Secretary Gage was called in to give
information concerning administrative
features of the bill, the issue Of notes
and other matters of technical ma
ture relating to carrying out the pro-
visions of the bill when it should be-
come law.
The conferees went over both the
House and Senate bills and it was
found that differences exist all along
the line. The House conferees insist
ed that their measure best met the
requirements of the situation and the
Senators were equally firm in stand
ing by their bill. Strenuous objection
is made by the House conferees to the
bi-metallic section of the Senate bill
and they also oppose the refunding sec
ton of the measure. The conference
did not reach a stage where any propo-
sition to adjust any of the difficulties
was favorably considered 1t is not
meant that there is a deadlock be-
cause the consideration has not reach
ed that stage. The conference will
