The water which overaowed the delta

brick and a roadway for the stupendous
blocks of stone which are still conspi-

that it was erected IN honor of King Ptol-

OF the conquerOrs and in due time found
its way to the British museum and was

HE WORK in the clubs this
week was principally routine
~ work but unusually interesting.
All the clubs with limited m M
berships, the Homer ana the West Side
Shake, ceare. have many Applications
for first vacancies while the Woman $
club the Atlas club and the Ethical Cu,-
ture club receive many applications ev-
cry meeting. SO that the two latter are
increasing rapidly in membership. There
was no meeting of the Butte federation
as nothing came up requiring attention.
The Woman's club had lecture by EN-
part Librarian Davies on the travelling Ii
Erares OF Montana which was greatly
appreciated by the m embers. The West
Side Shakespeare club enjoyed social
evening this week ana next week the
Homer club and the Alias club will in
dulge in social days and the WomanS
clu, will have a particularly joyous 50
cial day the birthday OF the club when
all the members will bring birthday gifts
and enjoy a social session. SO the club
women who are members of more than
nnc club will have "one continual round
Of eayety." And they will work all the
better for It the following week.
The Atlas club has a project on foot
which promises to be highly successful
hut which until il is brought to such ter
NINA ton will be kep5 secluded.
The club women of Butte have 4 great
treat in store for them. The famous par
liamantarian. Lillian Cole Bethel has
been engaged to come to Butte on March
18th and give her course of five lectures
on parliamentary law. They will all be
practical lessons and we'll illustrated.
The Womans club has engaged the lee
turer and will of course have to pay her
expenses ana her fee. This they can
probably meet successfully if the other
clubs will send enough members 10 parti-
cipate in the instruction. The price will
probably b. only one dollar for the entire
course. That is considered a very low
figure to put il but the Womans club is
anxious to secure a large class to greet
the parliamenta"ian The course will
conclude with a mock convention where
everything will be done just as it should
be- To this men also will be welcome
and small admission fee. probably .,
cents, will be charged. BY next Satur-
day all arran gfiements will probably
have been concluded ana will be an
nOunced
There is hope. rather faint but still
strong enough to find Judgment in the
breast of many of the NJ Members of the
W'oman's club. that Leoiiora Jackson the
world famed VIC mist. will be secure
for a grand concert in Butte. The MEM :
bers of the music department. of the club
have the affair in their very capable
hands.

SECRETARY LONG.
Much Gratiiied by Recent Supreme Court
Decisions in Insuiar Cases.

Denver. Col. June 3.-iIon. John II.
Long. secretary of the navy. passed
through Denver en- route to Washing
ton. after a visit of about two weeks
with his family now staying at Color
ado Springs.
While here he gave out for the first
time statement of his views OF the
supreme court decision in the Porto
Rican cases. 1t follows:
THE decision of the Downes cases
sustains the government and Is In ac-
cordance with the views OF Republi
cans in Congress. | understand that In
recognized fully and clearly the pawcr
of Congress To legisia;e in its discretion
with regard to the revenue relations
OF our insular possessions. Any other
construction of the constitution than
this would have made the rcgula ton
OF our relations with the new terri
tories 4 maze OF ineNtricable confusion
and inefiiciency and an example OF
how not to do it,. and would have re-
suited in the stay OF our commercial
progress
1T is not easy to detail the embar-
easements in which the administration
Of insular affairs would have been in
vowed. Inelr status Is so essentially
different from that Of the states OF the
union that the same legislation for
both is simply impra cticable. This is
So clear that II goes without saying
that this decision ~ fortunate.
Now because of this very thing
there will be those who will say that
the court has been governed by the
necessities of the case and the inter
csts OF the administration. on the CON
trary. / believe no other decision was
justiiiable az pure matter OF constitu
tional law of precedent. 1t Is the decis-
ion outlined by John Quincy Adams. by
John Marshall. by Daniel Webster. by
the most eminent authorities and pre-
NioUS decisions of the court itself
In the old pro-siavcry days the ef-
font was made To carry slavery into
the territories under the theory that
the constitution went there with il. but
that doctrine never found popular ia
vor which Is now confined by the pres
ent decision of the supreme court.

the administration confirmed in its
views and strengthened in its work will

cerned with renewed assurance of uni
