United States, whose sovereignty has
been established over them, and the
purposes of the constitution in provid-
ing for trade privileges that no sec
ton, subject to United States sover-
eighty, shall yer become the victim
of discrimination. This principle is
in line with the very foundation prin-
ciple of this government, which con-
templated that all the people of the
United States should have equal priv
ileges, should be exempt from dis
examinations, and should enjoy i'm
munities which the constitution max
ers conceived to be essential to the
%perpetuity of free institutions"
After an extended summary of JUS
tice Browns reasoning, Bryan contin-
ues: Throughout the majority opin-
ion, delivered by Justice Brown, runs
the theory that the American congress
may do anything not forbidden in the
constitution. This is one of the most
repugnant features Of this opinion.
Brown seems to have searched the
constitution for prohibitions rather
than for that grant of power which
the American people have always con-
ceived to be the true office of that in
strument."
Bryan concludes as follows: To
what a glorious field for inspection
this justice of the supreme court has
invited the American people. Under
this opinion we are about to embark
on Great Britain's colonial policy, and
to reassure ourselves, to quiet our
conscience, we have but to look at the
history of Great Britain's attitude to-
ward it's outlying possessions since
the American revolution.
Inspiring spectacle, indeed. We
may look at South Africa, where
Great Britain's unrestrained posses
sion of power has destroyed two prom
Using republics and has drenched the
soil with the blood of patriots; we
may look at India, whose people have
been dying by starvation for years;
where on several occasions the bounty
and generosity of the American peo-
pie have been necessary in order to
save human beings, living under the
sovereignty of Great Britain from
death by starvation"

HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY.
French Journals Have French Way
Of Seeing Things.

Paris, May 31.-The French press
today discusses the decision of the
supreme court in the insular cases.
LIE Temps says:
IF rumors are true, the judges have
not succeeded in maintaining them
selves pure, nor true to austere prin-
ciples, but have became accessible to
arguments and sophisms of politi-
clans. Their decision is an act Of
the highest gravity and tantamount
to a triumph for the Mckinley school
of manifest destiny, for jingoes,
spread-eagleism and partisans of the
permanent army. On the other hand,
citizens favoring progress and econo-
my forms who are faithful to the
ideas of Washington, Jefferson and
Lincoln are filled with anxiety and
sadness"
Journal Des Debats considers that
the decision implies that annexed ter
~ritories cannot invoke the benefits of
the United States constitution and
that congress can impose on them any
regime it likes, saying:
'In short American dependencies re-
semble British crown colonies. We do not
think the American idea of protection
for countries they save from %so-called
European tyranny is encouraging to
the Latin states Of America, who
called the Pan-American congress, and
we better understand why the move
ment of South American is towards
Spain rather than the United States"

Taking Sensible View.

Havana, June 1.-The press de-

Washington government, but gener-

best for the convention to take up
the question Immediately and accept
the amendment as passed by con-
gress.

Dead Woman's Body Found Under
Suspicious Circumstances.

Suspicious Circumstances.
Holton, Kan, June lin a shallow
trench less than 100 yards from her
home, one mile north of Holton, the
mutilated body of Mrs. w. H. Kleus'
mire was found today. Sunday, May
49,, the children of the family were
absent. When they returned they say
their father told them their mother
had gone to Texas on a visit. Later
Kleusmire left, ostensibly for Texas.
Yesterday the children received a tel
egram saying their mother had died
from yellow fever and had been bur-
led in Texas.
The discovery of her body has
created intense excitement.
Paul Swetlick, a brother of Mrs.
Kleusmire, was murdered in 1892 and
the manner Of his death was never
explained. He carried $4,000 life in
surance, the b~enefciaries being Mr..
and Mrs. Kluesmire. Part of the in
surance was contested, and a YER
dict for $4,000 was secured in favor
of the estate in the United States
circuit court. The case was appealed
and was argued at st. Paul yesterday.
The whereabouts of the corpse Of
Mrs. Kleusmire was made known by
dogs, who paved the earth away and
revealed the dress Of the corpse in
the shallow trench. There was no
more than two feet Of ground yer
the body.

Both Parties Claim Victory-llle-
gal Voting.
Santiago de Cuba, June Reports
from outside municipalities show a
general victory for the nationalists,
but in the city both parties claim to
have won. The republicans showed
unexpected strength, though probably
not enough to elect their candidates.
The nationalists make charges of il
legal voting. The streets are filled
with frenzied partisans cheering their
favorite candidates. Over 100 arrests
We're made during the day, but there
was no serious disorder, though n
small riot occurred in front of the
jail. Rioters, however, we're quickly
dispersed by a charge of 20 rural po-
lice. Considerable bitterness is ex-
pressed against American supervision
OF municipal elections.

THAT DECISION
English Press Still Discussing
Porto Rican Findings Of
Supreme Court.

London, May 31.-The Spectator,
discussing the supreme court decis-
ions, will say tomorrow:
"The decision is in accordance with
common sense and all the facts of the
situation. If American commerce is
to be world wide America must be.
a world power"
After abiding to the great effect on
American expansion, or, if you like it
better, on American power, the Spec.
tator will say further: "The con.
quering of the feebler states was in
the belief that such states whenever
annexed, must be included within the
union" The Spectator will further
say: 1--WE believe the fate of Ameri-
a dependencies will be a good one,
but we cannot deny that the supreme
court in removing a great danger at
tending annexation, has made annexa-
ton easier. If we were Spanish
Americans we should feel a new SEN
sation of alarm if for any reason in
the future, nea or distant, the states
men Of the Union should desire to
rule a Spanish-American state, we
do 10 see what would prevent. Suppose
they buy or conquer Nicaragua and
so terminate all complications as to
control of the canal by cutting it
through territory absolutely their
own, what, except force, which would
hardly be applied, is to prevent
them? Suppose, which is quite pos
sible, that under a new and less wise
president than Porfiero Diaz, a quarrel
arise with Mexico, what is to pre-
vent the Union from annexing it en-
tire? Formerly they were restrained
by aversion to including so many
colored voters and fear of anar-
chy arising from so many new half
civilized states But under the decis-
ion of Monday they can hold Mexico
as we hold India"

SUFFRAGE CONVENTION DIS
CUSSES EVERYTHING.
ALL TAKERS
Undoubtedly Some Brainy Women
in the Aggregation-Few
Men Visible.

+ Minneapolis, June 1.-Three days
of steady work has kept the dele.
gates to the oma suffrage conven-
ton very much occupied. They are
a busy lot of women. Today, just
prior to the opening of the general
convention and even after it's begin
ming, committees were engaged in get
ting their reports into presentable
shape, submitting them to the execu-
tive committee, and altering them to
suit the e~xigencies of individual
cases.
Most of that work has now been
done and the sessions of the conven
ton are proceeding as we'll as anyone
could wish for. The suffrage conven
ton is unlike many in n respect.
The delegates are not content to let
reports and addresses pass them
with simply a nod Of appreciation.
Everybody wants to talk. There
has not been a topic presented which
has not been added to in some way
by the members on the floor Of the
house. The platform does not have
everything all it's own way.
Men have been visible at all the
public meetings, but barely so, as the
maze of skirts very nearly obscured
them. Numbers of men have been
heard to declare that there were GER
tainly some brainy women in the ag-
gregation. While not, for the most
part, believing in the cause which has
brought the delegates together, they
were willing to pay tribute to super
ior qualities of mind to be found
among them. Reports have consti-
tuted the greater part of the business
thus far.
Friday was given partly to organi-
cation plans and today enrolment
was the topic in the afternoon, the
evening being devoted to some inter-
esting papers,. Mrs. Priscilla Hack
staff. of Brooklyn, N. Y, presided in
the afternoon. The discussion waxed
warm, for it was accused of business
men that many of them signed petit
tions to the legislature, announcing
themselves in sympathy with the suf-
frage movement, and then wrote per-
sonal letters to senators which COM
pletely denied any interest in the
cause they had SO recently signed
with. Co"mmercialism was at the root
of this, and fear to lose the custom of
suffrage believers. One woman who
had not had this experience declared
that she would make it hot" for any
nan who treated her in that manner
The subject of enrolment was dis
cussed from the platform by Mrs.
Hackstaff, Mrs. Ellen Powell Thomp-
son, and Mrs. Clara A. Young. Nearly
all the states were included in the
discussion from the floor. The issue
of the afternoon raj whether the con-
vention should decide to have a censu
taken during the next year, or as soon
as possible, of all those believing in
the suffrage movement, and willing
to sign their names as such. The mo-
ton was made by DR.. Marble, of
Washington. An amendment was
made by Miss Laura Clay, of Ken
lucky, to the effect that only the
the names of those willing to pay dues
he tincluded After a great dea1 of
discussion the amendment was lost,
and the original motion put.
