NEW ISLAND POSSESSIONS.
President Mckinley Convinced That
the Constitution Does Not
Apply to Them.

NEW YORK Feb. 1.-THE World to-
morrow will publish a summary OF a
long statement made by President Nc
kiney to Henry LOOMS Nelson, as TO the
American policy toward the newly ac-
quired islands. The article Is vouched
for as an authoritative Interpretation of
the presidents views. According to Mr..
Nelson;
1T is Mr. McKinley's belief. ana II
will be his purpose to carry the belief
into operation, that the constitution does
not apply TO any Of our new islands; that
those people are not At for self-govern-
ment beyond that proposed for Hawaii:
that our new possessions must not be
permitted to fnjure any of our protect
ed interested and the free trade with
Puerto Rico is right because our protect
ed interests will not be injured thereby.
"The president believes--and this is the
most important statement that can pos
sbly be made touching his present be-
liefs-that congress has plenary power
over Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the Philip
pines.
HE holds that congress may pass one
tariff law for Puerto Rico, another for Ha-
wall. another for the Philippines and that
all may be different from that OF the Uni
ted States.
1T does not APPEAR likely 10 his mind
that any question can ever rise as to the
civil rights of the people of these places
MT. mChlnieSs attitude, tnen, toward
the natives Is benevolent He desires 10
elevate them. to educate them, and he
hopes that In tho end, they viii become
worthy OF being intrusted with local self
government. He does not think any OF
these natives worthy now. except the few
in Hawaii, upon whom II is intended to
bestow the suffrage-a few more than
possessed the suffrage under the Dole
government.
''Mr. Mckinley holds that the constitu-
ton only applies 10 territory when IL IL
set up by treaty or by legisla ton. Upon
TINS point there are authorities in his
favor, but he goes beyond the authorities
and holds that congress IL not bound by
the limitations of the constitution when IL
enters upon the task of legislating, 1. e.,
II may refuse to the natives and TO thu
American citizens who may 90 to our
colonies the right OF jury trial, the right
OF free speech. the right to bear arms the
right of peacesble sssemblage and of
petition. freedom from unwarrantable ar
rest freedom from search-all those rights
which the constitution guards.
But the main purpose Of the president
is to deal with the Islands as markets for
American products and as the SUBJECTS OF
commercial exploitation generally.
'One thing ia settled definitely in re-
spect to the Philippines. The open door
is not to be applied to them. The Repub-
lican party viii not consent TO give to
the Asiatic world an opportunity to land
its goods in the Philippines free of duty
TO enjoy whatever modified tariff there
may be established between the Philip
pines and this country"

The State School Report.

II shall bring out a few things in nv
report" remarked State Superintendent
w. W. Stetson, in relation to the forth
coming school report, ''that will cause
the people to be surprised. That is the
progress of the past three years and the
amount of work that has been done in
that time. l sent out circulars to all the
different superintendents and committees
OF the towns for the purpose of gaining
data for my report and the aggregate sur
p1lsed me, l am free to admit. But when,
however, came to go through the differ
ent separate items and recalled my visits
to these places l saw at once that all was
we'll, for the gain in each town, when
aggregated, made larger amount than |
had anticipated.
''The creating of the local interest has
added much to the success, though this
is not included in my report of what the
towns have done. l suppose you know
that the Improvement League has long
since passed its 10, 600 mark. The school
houses have been repaired, the grounds
benefited, the school rooms made cosier
with the addition of pictures, busts and
charts, and all such steps have been taken
by the people in each that has made an
addition that cannot be estimated in dol
lars and cents''
II understand, professor, that the of
ficials of some of the other States would
not dare to have brought out such strong
statement of the real facts of the school
systems, showing up the defects, as YOU
have done here in Maine" said the re-
porter.
''Well, l can't say just what they would
dare to do, but have to be frank with you.
| have received letters saying that in their
States if anything of the sort had been
done hey would have been horribly con-
demned for it, even though it is their
duty. That is where claim the State of
Maine is in the lead. have dwelt upon
it in my report to certain extent and it
gives me pleasure to do it. 1 claim that
down here in Maine we have the manhood
and womanhood that will stand such
criticism. We have the good sense to
see a fault when it is pointed out with
out getting angry, and furthermore, we
have the push to attempt to overcome our
defects after we learn of them. Now, |
could go into other States and write up
their school systems and it would in most
cases be far worse than that | could write
of Maine | think what | said has been
conducive of good-in fact know it has,
for | have been over the same ground
since, and l can see improvements every
where"

When men wore clothes like these,
Charles II. of England issued
proclamation suppressing coff ee
houses. He considered them "hot
beds of sedition and dangerous to
the public peace.
Times have changed since then.
In these days benevolent persons
establish coffee houses, having
learned that they promote the public
welfare. The reason for this is that
they drink coffee at home them
selves, and know its virtue.
Perhaps if it had been possible
for King Charles to have known
such coffee as we have to-day, the
kind that is sold by Chase & San
born, he would have done different.
No one can fail to be benefited
by this the most delicious coffee
known to the American public.

Java and Mocha always gives salts
faction and leaves a feeling of con-
tentment whenever it is used.
1t does more. 1t insures good

A method of using the heat of the sun
in place of coal and wood has been per-
fected by Dr. William Calver of Wash
ington City to such a degree that it is
now purposed to make a practical test of
it on a large scale. 1t is the intention to
use the power thus provided for irrigating
purposes in the arid lands of the south
western part of the country. Broadly
stated. DR.. Calver's method of drav ing
heat from the sun is by the use of mirrors,
which are so arranged that the heat is
gathered up and focused at one point.

MILL with him was young man named
Charles Grunditz. One day a loaded car
upset crushing Grnnditz beneath its
weight, and Ernest, then very power
ful man. exerted all his strength and
lifted the ear from the body OF his pros
trate companion, The doing of this
noble deed proved too much for even
his young strength, and As result he
suffered from that day until his death
from the injury done his spine. For
three long years the poor fellow dragged
on through life in constant pain and
weakness Of body; what he suffered
being only known to himself and his
God. Last Friday morning, just as the
light was stealing over the Eastern hills
the quiet angel of death came for his
suffering soul. Greater love hath nc
man than this, THAT he lay down his
life for his friend. The deceased
leaves a father, mother, one sister and
/ five brothers 60 mourn his loss,

TUNGSTEN MINING DISTRICT.

The past year has witnessed the dis
covery of hubernite in White Pine
county, Nevada, on what is known as
Snake range, at the base of Wheeler's
Peak, and the establishing OF a new
mineral district called Tungsten min
ing district, covering an area of ten
miles square. The camp of Tungsten is
about twelve miles south of Osceola.
Tungsten ore in the form of hubernite
was first discovered in January, 1899,
by Charles w. Gaby. who made the
first location for himself and partners,
w. d. Buntin and George Doyle, who
with Il. A. Milliek and j. II. Marriott,
formed the district which now has thir-
ty claims recorded, all carrying the
same mineral. The country rock is
granite and quartzite and the ore oc-
ours in fissures from a few feet to ten
feet or more. On one of the first loca-
tions made the vein crops out for a 1000
feet and is from two to ten feet thick,
showing mineral scattered Throughout.
Over ten tons of float has been gath
cred below this groupings which carries
30 per cent hubernite, several pieces
weighing 800 lbs. or more being nearly
pure metal. On the extension of this
vein is onelrich shute which crops is
feet and > feet thick and over one-half
| its bulk is almost solid mineral. Bould-
ers weighing a ton are scattered below
this, and several tons have been gath
cred for shipment. This ore easily con-
eentrates from 65 to - per cent OF tun-
CYSTIC acid, which is worth In the East '
ern market from 81 TO s. per unit. Tun-
CYSTIC acid is used in the manufacture
of steel, principally for fine tool steel,
and as an alloy for tempering large gun
barrels, etc. The principal market is
in Europe, although few firms in the
United States useit. Most OF the claims
of this district are under bonds to East
ern parties, who will next spring put IN
a large concentrating plant, since this
ore will concentrate rapidly, and save
much in hauling to Frisco, Utah, the
nearest railway point, distance of
ninety miles. The district has the ad
vantage of good roads plenty of timber
and water. hence IL blessed With ad
vantages for putting in a concentrating
plant near the mines. This being a new
mineral for the West results win be
watched with much interest by mining
men.-Salt Lake Tribune.
