1t is always edifying to read tue
London Times calculation of the
Constitution of the United States
just now it is quite disp!eased at the
bad manners OF the Senate in meddling
with the Hay-Pauncefote treaty: and
it assures Mr.. Mckinley that ''if he
has the courage Of his convictions he
has only to exercise his undoubted con-
stitutioaal rights IN order to render
the proceedings Of the Senate innoc-
nous"
The Philadelphia Times in com
mentiny upon this says: "The Thun-
derer is evidently under the impress
sion that the President alone has the
constitutional right to make treaties
and that it is an impertinence for the
Senate to interfere with him. But
this misconception is not strange when
we see that it is shared by very many
American newspapers that might be
expected to know better.
The President makes treaties l,y
and with the advice and consent of the
Senate The frame of a rca'v-as
prepared, for example, by Mr.. Hay
and Lord Pauncefort-is not a com
plcted action. 1t is on V preliminary
The treaty is not complete, on The side.
Of the United States, uni the Senate
las had the opportunity to give its adj
vice as to changes or its consent to the
form submitted, and is not complete
on the otherside till ratified by the
home government The Senate is not
impairing any agreement, because
none has been reached. And the Pres
ident's constitutional rights do not ex-
tend beyond the Senate's consent.

The reason Mrs. Lowe was helped by the use Of
GrapeNuts food Is that the food is predigested by

JUST CLOSED.
Quartermaster's Division Accounts
Amounting to $S7 100000 Settled
Claims of States.

Mr.. F. H. Norris auditor for the War
Department is the first of the bureau Of
ticers Of the treasury to submit his an
nual report to the treasury. The report
was handed to Acting Secretary Vanderlp
yesterday, and covers the operations of
the fiscal year just closed This is con-
sdered a remarkable achievement, in view
CT the fact that the fiscal year closed on
Saturday, and that 1t has been customary
for years to send in the reports at any time
within weeks or months after the close of
the year. No other accounting officer has
been under such pressure as Mr.. Morris
His work has been vastly increased by the
accounts of the SpaniSh-American war, aad
a great effort has been made during the
year to bring the work of the Office up to
date. Despite this he has found time to
prepare his annual report q fact quite
gratifying at the treasury.
The amount involved in accounts settled
in the quartelmaster's division during the
year was ST.. 211, 249. 49,. For the fiscal year
1899 the same class of accounts represented
a total of So, 66s, Al. es while 1893 showed
total of $50. 025, 5103S. These accounts
relate to payments for animals, fuel, for
age. buildings Of all kinds, tentage cloth
ing, camp Ind garrison equipage tele-
graphing, transportation of the army and
its supplies by land end water, and all sup
plies and incidental expenses necessary for
the army in camp or field, not especially
provided for elsewhere. A new branch of
this department called into existence by
the Spanish American war and its results
IS the army transport service. This covers
the charter or purchase, selling and main
tenance of all army transports.
Tho amount disbuTscd through pavmaa-
tiers accounts during the year was $4s-
7O0.560. The ordnance accounts settled ag-
gregated $13.539 SD; tho medical accounts.
81, 1864 '9, and those for national volunteer
homes. 81, 0O2, OSS.
The amount paid on military claims. COW
ering both the Spanish and tho civil war
was sl,259,4O as against s4s9,O2S for 1899
