fled brief In the supreme court which
axes the sttituds of this government on
the question OF whether the constitution
extends to the new possessions Of the

says IL doss not without act Of Congress.
The case Is that OF Ramon baez. n na-

to secure hts release from further Inn

ing him TO produce Baez before the
supreme court and that the writ OF

of Porto Rico commanding 1t to forward
to the court Transcript Of the proceed

case, the solicitor general makes the
following argument.

GREAT INTEREST IN DEWEY

Washington, April 4.-The greatest In.
terest was manifested In official and 9TH
er circles by tbs announcement uads by
Admira, Dewey In the published inter

was beseiged all day by newspaper re-.
porters who were anxious to obtain any
additional Information which might be
forthcoming regarding the Admirais

all he extended a cordial greeting and he
indicated that for the present at least
there was nothing to add to what had
already been published concerning his
Willingness to stand for tha Presidential
office should the people elect to ominAte
him.
Naturally the chief point Of inquiry
WAS as to which Of the great political
parties Admiral Dewey would be can

mination had been reached.

on that subject. None Of the officials or
naval officers at the navy departme Mt
cared TO express publicly any opinion as

is plain to he seen that the announce

circle. The impression prevails that, re-
gardless OF the outcome of the adniral's
movement from political point of view
his entrance into the arena Of politics
marks q Termination of his activity In
the navy. Not that 1t is believed that his
retirement is impending but 1t is felt,
that, engrossed as he will be in his politi-
cal aspirations, the admiral will not be
able to spare the time necessary for the
discharge of purely naval duties. 1t is
intimatsd that he practically indicated
his purpose to withdraw from active
navy work in a conversation recently
with an intimate friend and brother

AMERICAN TOYS.
Generally OF More Practical Cost
Than Foreign Toys.
New York Sun.)

There are now in this country fifty or
more factories devoted to the production
Of toys. Great quantities Of toys OF va
rious kinds are imported. Some that are
of extensive and common use ana that
are SOLD In very great numbers, such as
dolls, are almost all imported. Thete
are great numbers OF very cheap toys,
things selling for a cent and thereapouts,
that are imported. These things have
long been produced in the Countries in
which they are made and, with cheap Ia
Dor, those countries still largely supply
the world in suoh goods. Many OF the
very cheap toys are made In homes, or In
cidentally to other work. the cost Of such
laoor being very small. With such pro
ductions the American manufa oturer
does not sndsav to any great extsut to
compete, though he is now reaching into
such fields among the more costly toys
and also among the cheaper ones.
Up to a very few years ago all the
skin- covered hobby horses were imported
now while the larger part Of such goods
sold here Is still imported, goods OF thii
kind are now also produced here. Form
oriy toy lead soldiers were almost II not
quite all OF them imported; now there
are many lead soldiers made here. But

Dublin, April 4.-Queen Victoria
landed In Ireland this morning for the
first time in tbirty-nine years.
The disembarkati from the royal
yacht was accomplished at 11.S0. The
Queens trip from kiugstown to the vice
regal lodge was accomplished without
untoward incident and was marked
with great enthusi asm. At the entrance
to the city she received an address Of

reply.
The Queen appeared to be much
affected by the warmth OF her welcome.

were the finest he had ever seen. far sur
passing these Of the great jubilee.
No sooner had the Queen arrived at the
vice REGAL lodge and lunohed than she
drove out again to Phoenix Park, being
much cheered.
1t is understood that she expressed Ter
self as wonderfully pleased with the re-
csption and as having suffered no
fatigue. Not one black flag or disloyal
motto marked the line Of march; and
the popular enthusiasm buried all poll
tical feeling for the time. Before landing
the Queen asked for bunch OF sham
rock. These were secured and through
out the day she wore them upon hsr
breast.
At the vice regal lodge, Earl and Coun-
tses CadoRln who had met the Royal par
ty at kingstoun but had taken a special

During the evening the Queen through
sir..AIthur Bigge, her privats secretary,
sent tns Lord Mayor message saying
that she was not over-fatigued by the
morning's drive and had been deeply
touched and gratlhed by the welcome
she had received. The message concludes
as follows:
"Her Majesty looks forward with much
pleasure on her stay in Ireland"
Later the Qusen officially conveyed 10
the Lord Mayer the following;
"Convey to the citizens OF Dublin the
sincere thanks of the Queen for the 10y

which her Msjesty recs ived during her

Washington, April 4.-Admiral Dewey
is a candidate for the Presidency, or
rather, Mrs. Admiral Dsway is can d.
date to be the Presidents wife. The
Admiral said this mornipg that he sent
his statement yesterday to the New
York World because the World had first
nominated him for the Presidency.
He was asked what ticket he WAS going
to run op, and said that he didn't care.
He was q candidate, and that was all.
be was asked what made him change his
mind about running He replied that
he had been getting letters from oil over
the United States.
The Admirsl's new ambition is due to
his wife, who has been very much put
out all winter because she has ha1 to
give way to certain other women at o fl
cial functions. She now wants to be
mistress Of the White House, so shat no
body oan stand In her way.
Dewey himself does not care one way
or the other. He has been insulting and
offensive to more than one who tas called
upon him reosntly with the most friend
Iy motives. and 1t IL impossible for even
those who are kindly disposed 20 him to
account for his conduct, except on the
theory that he has entirely lost control
of his judgment and his temper.
The announcement OF his candidacy for
the Presidency excites ridloule in some
quarters and pity in others. IL is taken
seriously nowhere.
