Democrats who were approached
with regard to their opinion of the
prospects for the success of the fusion
lists in the state this fall were not in
clined to talk much. There is little
hope for the democrats and populists
in the state and the most sanguine of
them are disinclined to predict sue
cess. That the two parties will fuse
is taken as a matter of course, but the
democrats are wise in not adding de-
fusion to fusion.

worlds center Of financial gravity is
shifting to this side of the Atlantic,
observes the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat. For many years that center was
in Lisbon. Then 1t went to Amster-
dam. Afterwards it travelled to Lon
don, and it remained there two and
a half centuries. Now it is moving
to New York. Russia had the whole
world open to it, but it came to New
York to float its big loan. The loan,
which is guaranteed by the government
of the Gear, is to be paid, principal and
interest, in American money, and in
New York. This is not the first loan
of a European government which has
been floated in this country. The
United States is the wealthiest coun-
try in the world. In this respect, in
deed, it has gone so far beyond the
United Kingdom in the past twenty
years that its holdings of property of
all sorts very nearly equal those of the
United Kingdom and France together,
which stand second and third on the
list, respectively. There is more
wealth in New York than there is in
any other spot on the globe. New
York, in the near future, is destined
undoubtedly to figure more conspicu-
ously than London in, the great finan-
cial enterprises of the world.

The question of whether the consti-
tuition extends to our recently acquired
possessions will not longer be left in
doubt If the amendment to the Puerto
Rican bill submitted by Senator Davis
is adopted. The republicans in the
house who finally voted for a small
tariff provision did SO undoubtedly
because of the preponderance of argu-
ment in opposition to the theory that
the provisions of the constitution were
at once extended to these islands, and
until the matter was adjudicated by
the supreme court of the United States
it vas properly held that the islands
were simply the property of the United
States and that congress had power to
do as it pleased with regard to them.
Undoubtedly it was President McKin-
ley's first view that the provisions of
the constitution extended to these pos
sessions at once upon their acquisition,
and this has been the opinion of lead
ing republicans everywhere until light
has been thrown upon the question by
the expressed wisdom of able consti-
tutional lawyers. It must be assumed
that the house would not have passed
the fifteen per cent tariff measure with
out some reasonable assurance that the
president had changed his first views
on the subject and favored this COM
promise as the best way to treat the
emergency. His message on the ap-
preparation of the accumulated rev.
enues of $2,OOO,O0O from Puerto Rico
for the benefit of the island and the
speedy passage of the bill by the house
has, however, partially destroyed the
logic of crying necessity" of the tar
if, and now the amendment offered
by Senator Davis may be ac-
cepted as a proper solution of the
whole question, as while it extends the
constitution over Puerto Rico by so
doing it implies that it cannot be ex-
tended to the Philippines or other ter
ritories except by act of congress. 1t
is believed this meets the views of the
president and the republicans of the
northwest have faith in the sagacity,
integrity and wisdom of Mr.. McKin-
ley. The republicans in congress en-
terrain the same view and whatever is
done by that body will be done in per.
feet harmony with the mature judg.
ment of the administration.

maintain tribal relations, are not con-

Furthermore, many who are inclined
to believe that the Puerto Ricans have
a constitutional right to free trade with

so much to the Filipinos. For, II Am

Chief Carpenter P. T. Mayer, who has
been on duty at Hongkong with Naval
Constructor Hobson, has forwarded to the

the use of sheathing on battleships.
The report says that the writer exam
ined II. N. S. Bonaventure. which ran in
between two pinnacle rocks In the Yellow
Sea while going fourteen knots an hour
and had TO be pulled of by other ships.
The Bonaventure was sheathed with four
inches OF teak and copper, and despite the
force with which she struck the damage
was SO small that she got to Nagasaki,
Japan, ! 900 miles away, where slight re-
pairs were made and she then proceeded
1,60o miles to Hongkong, where she was
fully repaired within six weeks
The Naval Board of Construction has re-
ported adversely on the sheathing of bat

Secretary Longs action on the report will
