THE PRESIDENTS VIEWS.
with Mckinley on His Policy To.
ward Our New Possessions.

New York, Feb. ia morning pa
per on Sunday published summary
OF long statement made by Presi-
dent Mckinley to Henry LOOMS Mel
son as to the American policy toward
the newly acquired islands. The ar
ticle is vouched for as an authorita-
tive Interpretation of the presidents
views. Among other things Mr.. Mel
son says:
ut is Mr. McKinley's belief and 1t will
DO 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 fit for self-government
beyond that proposed for Hawaii; that
our new possessions must not be permitted
to injure any Of our protected interests.
and that free trade with Porto Rico IL
right, because our protected interests will
not be injured thereby
THE president believes-and this is the;
most important statement that can posi-
bly, be made touching his present belief
that congress has pienary power over Ha-
wall. Porto Rico and the Philippines. He
holds that congress must pass one tariff
law for Porto Rico. another for Hawaii.
another for the Philippines. and that all
may be different from that Of the United
States.
'Mr. McKinley's attitude toward the
natives is benevolent. He desires to ele-
waite them. to educate them, and he hopes
that In the end they will become worthy
OF being intrusted with local self-govern-
ment. He does not think any of these
natives are worthy now, except the few
IN Hawaii upon whom It is intended to
bestow the suffrage-a few more than pos
sessed the suffrage under the Dole gov
eminent
1.-THE main purpose Of the president is to
deal with the islands as markets for Amer
lean products and as tho subjects Of COM
mercial exploitation generally.
HE looks forward TO benefiting the ma
tives by expanding the blessings OF Profess
tant Christianity and civiliza ton by means
Of commerce.
zone thing Is settled definitely in respect
of the Philippines. The open door is not
to be applied to them. The republican
party will not consent TO give to the ASH
attic world an opportunity to land It's goods
in the Philippines free Of duty. to enjoy
whatever modified tariff there may be es-
tablished between the Philippines and this
country.
THE protected interests are not to DO

tory. Mr.. Mckinley did not favor free
trade with Porto Rico until he was salts
fed that no harm would come to any
American interests"

CHAPTER vi,

"Marry us here, doctor,' Stanton
said, gathering himself together.
''It could be done," replied the clergy
man, easily entering again into the
worldly wisdom of the transaction.
mo one is aft on this side. Not soul
need be the wiser. I have two friends
aboard who will stand as witnesses.
But to think of my marrying John

of law, at the same time handing the
clergyman his third paper.

saint exclaimed, slapping his friend on
the shoulder. "Trust a lawyer for do
ing the thing brown. Just take your
wife back to the most quiet corner you
can find, and I'll join you with my
friends in no time"
Again Stanton was trembling so that
he could scarcely move or speak; but
there was little need, for the clergy
man was we'll alive, now, TO the world
ly wisdom of the case. The witnesses
were hardly introduced when he be-
gan, from memory, the marriage cere-
mony, holding his watch before him
as though it were his Book of Prayer,

moved the faster, under the full sense
that millions of money hung upon
them, and he cut and abridged the GER
