"Whatever may be finally decided

ions of our constitution and subject to
the merely arbitrary control of Con-
gress. Even IL regarded as aliens, they
are entitled under the principles of the
constitution to be protected in life, lib

The court thus carefully distin-
guishes between the universal rights
and privileges possessed by all of us
who are subjects of what Chief JUS
tice Marshall called 1.-The American
empire" and those rights and priv
ileges which can only be acquired by
act of Congress. There. may be an
American empire, but under our con-
stitutIOH every CitIhch Va Nhut C"p'iS
is protected in his personal rights of
life, liberty and property, and real i'm
perialism Is impossible. This is q
point that has been made repeatedly
by the President in his recent
speeches. The constitution, he has
said, has always carried with it the
blessing OF liberty and it always will.
1t will never be used to make subjects
or slaves of any people, but rather to
help them to greater liberty. On this
point the court is clearly with the Pres
ident.
The Interpretation Of the court is
now the supreme law Of the land. All
good citizens are bound by 1t, and all
legislation henceforth will have to con-
form TO 1t. The decision is the most
important which the court has been
called upon to render since the recon-
struction days. 1t is broad and sweep
ing and far-reaching, taking in all the
aspects of the whole question of the
relation of the United States and ac-
quired territory. 1t will enhance the
profound respect with which our Su-
preme Court has always been regard
ed. and will command the attention of
the civilized world.

hats on their heads, and both he and
the Queen then commenced to chat in
the most friendly way with the little
group.
The King remembered meeting pre-
viously William Butler Duncan and
James w. Pinchot much to their own
astonishment. This little reminis-
cence over, the royal party indulged in
small talk regarding the weather, the
King pointing out the beauties of
Windsor's chestnut trees, referring to
the need the country had for rain, and
SO forth. His majesty regretted that
the state apartments were SO upset
as to be invisible. He apparently
avoided business and politics, beyond
reiterating how glad he was to meet
SO many we'll known men from Amer
lea.
When the audience was over the
delegates partoOk of n small feast and
repassed the King and Queen, who
were having tea in the garden. The
King stood up. took Off his hat and
bowed his farewell. The delegates
then returned to London.
President Morris X. Jessup said:

the most pleasant features was the un-
expected presence Of the Queen. Both

will greatly strengthen the relations
between the two countries"
All the delegates said practically the
same thing.
George G. Ward said:

scarcely believe she was the Queen,

UNCROWNED KINGS OF FINANCE
GUESTS OF KING EDWARD VII.

London, June 2.-Twenty-two Amer
lean gentlemen dressed in the deep
black of British court mourning, repre-
senting many millions of money and
vast commercial interests, were the
guests of King Edward yesterday at
Windsor.
The American guests of the King
were the delegates of the New York
Chamber of Commerce. The visit was
arranged by the London Chamber of
Commerce, the president Of which,
Lord Brassey. accompanied the Amer
lean party. The visitors were greatly
impressed and pleased by their audi
ence of the King, who was just as in
terested at meeting them as they were
at meeting him.
The King had expressed considera-
BILE curiosity to see what manner of
men these multi-millionaires might be,
especially Messrs. Morgan and Carne-
gle. AS regards the latter, the King
was disappointed, for Mr.. Carnegie
was unable to be present. From the
King down all the officials concentrat-
ed their attention on Mr.. Morgan.
Their curiosity was not unmixed with
awe.
One OF the high officers Of the house.
hold confessed that an inspection OF
the list Of visitors made them tremble
lest Mr.. Morgan or one Of the other
millionaires should take fancy to
Windsor and buy 1t.
Apart from this personal point OF
view, Lord Pelham Clinton, master of
the household, said the King regarded
the presence in England of such rep
resentative body of American business
men as highly significant Of the close
and friendly relations existing between
the two countries, and In furtherance
of that feeling he was delighted to
welcome them to his castle and make
their acquaintance.
After an inspection of the grounds,
the delegates were taken to the east
terrace, where they were received by
the King. They were surprised to find
that the Queen was also present, for
her appearance was quite unexpected.
With the King and Queen were the
Princess Victoria and the children OF
the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall
and York. Each delegate was formal
ly presented to both the King and
Queen, shaking their hands.
This ceremony over, the King asked

MRS. M'KINLEY STILL
IN GREAT DANGER

Washington, June 2-Doctors Rixey
and Sternberg both were in attendance
at the White House during the even
ing, although the latter did not remain
very long. DIR. Rixey was at the man.
sion for over two hours. and when he
left for the night, shortly before IL
O'Clock, he announced that at that time
Mrs. Mckinley was resting cOmforta-
bly,, as she had done all afternoon.
Mrs. Mckinley continues very weak.
Her condition is not greatly changed
from that of yesterday, but each day
that elapses without gain in strength
lessons her power OF recuperation. 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 and the Pres
ident much concern.
Mrs. Mckinley has shown remarka-
BILE vitality, but her illness has SO re-
duced her strength as to leave her very
feeble indeed. 1t is feared that unless
n change for the better soon manifests
itself, her strength may become SO near
exhausted as to leave her without raj
lying power.
The news given out by the physi-
clans in attendance to-day was not re-
assuring, though hope OF better things
still continues. After consultation
between Drs. Rixey, Sternberg and
Johnston, the following bulletin was
issued:
Mrs. Mckinley passed n comforta-
BILE night, but her condition has not
materially changed since the report Of
yesterday"

Politics In the south.

There was nothing especially signih-
cant politically in the reception given
the President. He had equally as cor
dial reception In Georgia nearly -four
years ago, and southern communities
are prompt to evince patriotic spirit
and are never neglectful of the laws of
hospitality. But the Presidents
speeches gave evidence of his sincere
desire to discard all sectional differ
ences and the broad and wholesome
nationality of their tone was infectious
among his hearers. But the change Of
political conditions in the South is i'm
minent because the basis of the old or
der has passed away and 1t can not be
perpetuated on mere sentiment, preju.
dice and resentful memories.
Mr.. Larry CAN'T of Spartanburg.
South Carolina. who has hitherto been
a supporter of Tillman, declares boldly
that the South in general and southern
cotton mills in particular may look for
great practical benefits from the ac-
quisition of the Philippine Islands and
adds: ''It Is high time that the intelli-
gent voters of the South We're begin
ming to think and reason for them
selves, and not SO blindly follow politi-
clans and Office seekers, whose love of
self and thirst for promotion greatly
overbalances devotion to his people
and his country. l am n Democrat to
the core, but am n progressive, twen-
tieth-century Democrat, and not an old
political fossil that, when going to mill,
put rock in one Of the sack and corn
in the other. just because my daddy al
ways did that. The world don't stand
still, but moves forward. Every year
new issues present themselves for our
solution. Parties, us well as men, II
they do not desire to be left far behind
in the march of progress, must keep
pace with the times"
There are many progressive south
erners who think us Mr.. CAN'T thinks
and they will not longer suffer their
thoughts and actions to be ''cribbed,
coffined and confined" for the sole pur-
pose OF maintaining party organiza-
tion that has lost its original purpose
and meaning.
President Mckinley may have done
something toward Fastening the dis
ruption Of the solid South. but his
chief opponent in the last two presi-
dental campaigns has done much
more. Had the Democratic party pur-
sued the even tenor of its way on the
old lines the loyalty of the South to
that party would have remained un-
shaken, for longer time at least. but
Bryan radicalism, coupled with Bryan
defeats, has been too trying test for
the unquestioning continuance in sub
servience to n party name of 10000 600
people spread all the way from the
Potomac to the Rio Grande.
Division of sentiment in the South
is inevitable as the old Issues that made
it solid recede into history and new
ones arise that strongly affect the
South's material interest. The preju-
dice against the name Republican may
long linger in this section. 1t has an
association with war and reconstruc-
tion that is ill-savored in the South.
But division in sentiment on public
questions is already at hand in the
Sonth. 1t is manifest everywhere and
that division will make impossible the
continuance Of political solidity.-

A dearth Of violets may not sound
alarming to those who are not aware
of the great Importance Of this flower
in perfumery. At present great dis
tress prevails all along the Riviera.
and especially at Nice owing to the
failure of the violet harvest. The ex-
ceptionally cold spring and the Bit
ter winds have destroyed the blooms.
and the peasantry are in such a pitt
full condition that public appeal has
been made to assist them until the
young plants can be bedded out. The
orange flower crop has also been very
bad. The marked change in the cli-
mate Of Nice is said to be due to the
