Leslie. was stationed there then, in
command of two squadrons Of his regl-

of the War Department to be his guest.
The Major and | had served in the
same regiment during the Civil War,
but had parted at its close, he to accept
a commission in the regular army, and

as newspaper man We were great
friends always, and not month had
passed without an exchange of letters
between US since that memorable day
in 1865, when we marched with the
Great Army down Pennsylvania Ave-
nue., in Washington, TO celebrate the re
turn of peace.
The visit of which I now speak was
the second one l had paid the Major in
the West. The first was during the
preceding summer, when the torrid heat
of the sun scorched the plains, dried up
the streams, and made life at noon-day
miserable generally. Leslie was used
to 1t, and bore it with unfailing good
humor, but l was perpetually growing
over it, and longing for the cool breath
of one of their famous blizzards.' l

So it happened that when my visit
was ended, and started back toward
Eastern civilization. the Major made

very pleasant surprise for me. His son
Arthur, a bright, handsome, manly boy
of fifteen, whom I had heard much Of
but had never seen, was there to pass
the winter with his father. Now there
is nothing in the world like better

who knew this, had brough hit Arthur

MIR. MAGOON's OPINION.
He Thought the Constitution Extend
ed Over the Islands.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE war de-
partment today complied with the recent
resolution of the house OF representatives,
calling for an opinion by Mr. Magoon. law
officer OF the insular division. relative to
the extension OF the constitution over
Puerto Rico.
The opinion was given in May 1893
After referring to SPANS cesslon OF the
islands, the opinion says:
''Thereupon the territory conveyed be-
came a part of the United States and as
such is subject to the constitution. No
further action by congress was necessary
or possible The constitution does not
depend upon congress for authority in
any part OF the United States. The re-
verse OF the proposition is the fact From
this time on congress must look to the
constitution for authority to legtslate for
Puerto Rico"
Mr.. Meiklejohn, in transmitting the opin-
ion. says that when criticisms were made
on the practice of the war department in
maintaining the tariff Schedule adopted by
the military government he requested Mr.
Magoon TO furnish him a statement OF the
arguments against the continuance OF the
practice.
Mr.. Melk'ejohn adds that the request
was compiled with by the preparation OF
memorandum This memorandum was
not made in any case pending in the de-
partment. II was entirely unofficial and
intended for personal use. Upon considera-
tion the argument against continuance was
not considered to be well founded, and no
change was made in said tariff regula-
tons
Subsequently. Mr.. Meiklejohn says. Mr..
Magoon furnished an opinion on the gen
eral subject. which has been made public
heretofore.
