Already several steam plants have
made experiments with the newly de-
veloped oil found at Beaumont Texas,
as so far the tests appear to have been
satisfactory. The Jennings Electric
Light and Power company put in the
necessary apparatus for using the oil
Is fuel, and began its use in its large
plant. which supplies the town with
light and power. At Houston also ex-
periments have been made in the same
direction and with satisfactory results,
while several of the canal pumping
stations in Southwestern Louisiana
are getting ready to change their fuel
from coal and wood to oil. II after
full and sufficient experiments 1t is
found that the Beaumont oil will be as
cheap and as satisfactory in other re-
spects as coal, there is nc telling the
extent Of the demand that will be
made upon the oil wells for steam
heating purposes.

what? Search me. The motion is
supposed to have a beneficial effect on
the circulation Of the blood or some
thing. Some Of the men try it, too,
but the women have it the worst.
Whenever a stranger comes UP to me
and asks for a fictitious person, l
know they are after the ride and moth

orally pick out a name in the direc-
tory before they enter the car. They
go into an office, however. and
always take the next car down."

Washington. June Airs. Mckinley
continues very weak. Her condition Is
not greatly changed from that Of Sat
urday. but each day that elapses with
out a gain of strength lessons her pow
ers of re~cuperation. The complaint
which came near ending her life in
San Francisco is still present. 1t is in
a slightly less aggravated form, but
gives the physicians ard the president
much concern. Mrs. Mckinley has
shown remarkable vitality but her i'll
ness has so reduced her strength as to
leave her very feeble indeed. 1t Is
feared that unless a change for the bet
ter soon manifests itself her strength
may become 6 near exhausted as to
leave her without rallying power. The
news given out by the physicians In
attendance yesterday was not reassur-
Ing, though hope of better things still
continues. After a consultation be-
tween Doctors Rixey. Sternberg and
Johnston, the following bulletin was
Issued:
Mrs. Mckinley passed a comforta-
BILE night, but her condition has
Not Materially Changed
since the report of yesterday"
There were no further consultations
Of the physicians during the day, but
Or. 3ixey called during the evening
and spent some time with the patient.
In response to inquiries from time to
time the statement was made that
there had been no change in the condi-
ton of the distinguished sufferer.
President Mckinley spent most OF
the day at the bedside of his wife,
though late in the afternoon he went
out for an hours drive. He departed
alone but met Judge Watson of Ohio,
and old friend, on the way n the
latter accompanied him to the White
House. There were many callers dur
ing the day and evening, making anx-
lous inquiries regarding Mrs. McKin-
ley. With few exceptions they simply
left their cards after being assured by
he doorkeepers that there was no
change in Mrs. McKinley's condition.

What was the secret OF that mystic

ence welded by the Little Corporal"
as his soldiers loved to call him? What
was it that made men die for him with

man could say where it might end2 How
did this one man change the map Of Eu-

melt like wax before him, in the space

The secret probably lay in that one
fact, that no one could measure the

this. his individuality is so great and SO
intense that with or without his inten-

that here is its prophet and its leader;

It is well to bear in mind that Repre-
sentative Cushman of Washington State
is a new member If he were not it would
never occur to him to assan the gentle
men of the Rivers and Harbors Commit
tee for loading the River and Har5or bill
with rich things fer their individual Con-
gressionaI districts. to the detriment Of
the districts represented by the common
herd of members. Mr.. Cushman views
with alarm the action of one committee
man from Michigan who having six coun-
ties with a sand dune frontage on the
lake of that name, has Improvements
for every one of them in the bill. When
the gentleman from Washington is older
in the business. he VIII realize that the
same sort of thing has been the rule from
time immemorial 1t is regarded as a
matter of course. and the only notice
taken Of the practice IS by Representa-
tiyes who want something particular and
privately threaten the committee cormo-
rants with exposure if they do not get it.
That method is far nicer and more par
Iiamentary than the one Mr. Cushman
has applied in his open attack. He should
have recognized this truth when an IN
named member of the committee aP-
preached him with oyertures OF a friendly
nature.

SAN sALvADoR'e NEW TARIFF.
Its General Tendency Toward Moder-
alton Of Specific Duties.

Its General Tendency Toward &Oder-
alton Of Specific Duties.
United states Consul John Jenkins. at
san Salvador. has sent to the State De-
Partment the new tariff schedule adopted
by San Salvador. Concerning 1t he says:
Although the duties on Importation
have increased somewhat in the last few
years. it is due rather TO the frequent
changes in the method Of taxes than 10 an
increase of the specific duties en- certain
articles: therefore, a comparison with the
last tariff as published would be OF no
practical value, especially as since that
TING tISSD the relative values of sold
and silver have changed considerably. In
the tariff published b. the Bureau CT the
American Republics. the peso IS valued
at 1913 cents. whereas IN the present
translation the calculations have been
based upon the peso being worth 40 cents
gold. which is a fair average commercial
valuation. United States coin being gen
orally quoted here 1T about Ice premium
The present tariff is much more com
prehensive than the former one. and the
general tendency is toward Moderation Of
the specific duties
The tariff in general is protective;
that is to say. raw materials that mi ght
with the facilities of abundant cheap la
bor and water power which Salvador en-
Joys. be elaborated OF manufactured here
are scheduled at low rates, while manu-
featured articles Of the same materials
are scheduled at higher rates. according
TO the amount of mechanical or other la
Dor necessary to produce the finished ar
ticle. For instance, silk is scheduled at
rates varying from 90 cents silver to $40
per kiIogram (2-2046 poundsD. according to
the degree Of labor necessary in its pro
duction."

Mr.. Grisgs on The Constitution

The argument delivered by Mr.. Attorney
General Griggs yesterday before the Su-
preme Court, in the matter Of the Porto
Rican and Philippine appeals, appears to
emphasize the weakness of the Admins
tration's case against the Constitution
The Solicitor General who preceded him
reasoned that the organic law of the Re
public does apply ex proPrio vigore to
the new possessions. and al other Terri
tories. hut only u a very limited extent,
not including matters Ike the tariff, in
convenient to the executive branch of the
Government. Mr. Griggs took the holder
attitude of assuming fatty that the Con
stitution does not apply to territory out
side Of the organized States. except as its
provisions or benefits may be extended to
Territories by voluntary Congressional
grant
The country ought 10 be thankful TO the
Attorney. General for his frankness in eZ-
posing the sweeping design Of the Ad-
mfnistration and its associated monopo-
lists. to destroy free institutions where the
combination thinks that Il can be done.
| For instance, in answer 20 questions from
that Congress has power TO levy customs
| duties upon commerce between the
United States" and New Mexico and
that Congress could sell that or any other
Territory ard its people TO q foreign na-
ton.
II is entirely PLAIN that the only hope
of the Administration in its fight TO pre-
vent domestic free trade between the in
sular and continental parts Of the Unit
| ed States lies in the new and startling
proposition that the trainers of the Con
| stitution meant it only 10 cover full
! fedged States Of the Union, and intended
that its benefits. guarantees, provisions
and prohibitions should not be enjoyed by
Territories. To endorse such a doctrine
the Supreme Court would have TO reverse
| its decisions for a century, and discredit
the Intelligence and the logic of a long
| line OF distinguished and splendid jurists
We are not in the least afraid that such
| thing will. or possibly could, happen
