Hay dos hip6tesis que tratan de
explicarI la catastrofe: una la atri-
buye a La conmoci6n producida por
un fenomeno sfsmico (aunque NADIA
haya confrmado al hecho), la se-
gunda cree que el Milo ha sido ell
culpable del desastre por la accion

way & Lane, was made. This addi-
tion lies to the right of County Av-

There was good-sized crowd

tied at times. Mr.. Styles Ragland
acted as auctioneer. Fifty lots
we're sold, and, though apparently
at low figures, aggregated quite a
sum of money taken altogether,
Prices for the lots varied widely
from $40 down as low as $l5, at the
far end of the addition, Among
the bidders we noticed, were-Mrs.
]. H. Bradley, Isadore Scherer, ].
7. Corbett, Mr.. Bell, Otto Hoffman,
H. c. Harris, ]. e. Holloway, Gus
Less, W. H. Huddlestons Cook &
Sanderson, Chas. Munchneyer, and
others.
The sale was made qdickly-re-
quired only forty MINUTES to sell
the entire fifty lots. Although a
little far out, the lots lie well, and
as the city grows will become more
and more valuable.

The Treaty With France.

New York, Feb. ia special to the
Herald from Washington says: Although
Japan has not addressed any remon-
the treaty of reciprocity negotiated by
this government with France, she has
made it plain to the authorities that she
will be adversely affected by the pro-
vision relating to silks.
The United States is unable to take
any action in the matter except to nego-
tiate a treaty of reciprocity with Japan
in case the French treaty is ratified,
which is, from the present outlook, an
altogether unlikely event. The French
treaty will expire the latter part of next
month, providing notifications have been
expressed by that time, and it has NOT
yet been reported by the senate commit
tee. The state department officials in
sist THAT interests at first opposed to
treaty have Withdrawn their opposition,
but senators familiar with the situation
a the treaty will not be ratified.
The section of the treaty of friendship,
n extradition with Switzer-
land, negotiated in 1850, requiring the ex
tension to the Swiss confederation of any
favor in granted to other ma
lions, will be abrogated next month, and
with 1t the embarrassment suffered be-
cause of the possibility of other nations
claiming the extension to them of the
most favored nation clause will be re.
moved.
There is no intention on the part of the
authorities TO revive the treaty with Ar.
gentina. but they propose to use all thu
influence they can to obtain the ratif.
cation of the French treaty. An officia
said last night that In the event OF ths
failure of congress to ratify the French
treaty. h tariff will be raised around
the UNITED States by h Dingley Law
would in the end result in limiting TN
American products through European re.
taliation on American products.

In Regard To Our New
Possessions Is Shown.
WELL-KNOwN LAWYERS
Say Congress Has Power Vested In 1T
to Make All Necessary Laws
Porto Rican Debate VIII Bring the
Matter to a Head. y

New York, Feb. 19.-James c. Garter,
the constitutional lawyer. says in. an in-
tervfew: n
II think congress has vested In 1t the
authority to legislate for the island pos
sessions of the United States. II we are
going to hold these islands there wiN
have to be special legislation for them.
for they are not portions OF the United
States. I am Internationally a free
trader, and as such could express APP
prevail of no other policy for these newly
acquired colonies. OF course the natives
of the colonies are not citizens of the
United States, and laws that are enacted
for them must, in the very nature OF
things, differ from those enacted for the
states.
"You may say for me emphatically that
I believe we have no right to keep the
Philippine islands at all, and that we
never did have such a right. The fact
that we helped the Filipinos to gain their
independence from Spanish rule did moi
entitle us to assume that rule ourselves"
E. Eilery Anderson says:
'Of course the cOlOnists are not citi-
zens. The colonies are dependent upon
the United States for their laws, unless
they are gwen absolute independence ana
permitted to govern themselves. which Is
improbable for the present at least.
Il cannot see, though, why it is equita-
BILE or awful to grant free trade to Porto
Rico and refuse it to the Philippines. If
h Philippines are annexed to the
United States and become a part Of our
territory it is an injustice to legislate for
a tariff on trade between the islands and
the United States. as it would be to legis-
late for a tariff on goods sold in New
York to the people Of any other state.
"At present 1 am inclined to the opinion
that the Philippines nno be regarded
as part of the United States, but if they
are, there certainly should be no tariff
on trade between the United States and
the islands. I am in favor of the open
door' policy"
