A PARLIAMENT.

The various students, statesmen
and other persons of note who
make things hum in Russia, says
the Philadelphia Times, until the
Cossacks appear and move the pre-.
vious question, are reported to
have persuaded the Gear to grant
constitutional government with a
parliament and all complete. This
news was not censored, and we,
therefore, surmise that it is a
piece of imaginative enterprise.
The Gear is a good man who
loves peace, and who inaugurated
the conference at The Hague to re-
duce the warlike disposition and
ornaments of Europe. Why he
should fly into the face of his con-
victions by establishing parlia'
ment and thus endangering the
drowsy quiet of his realm, no one
has yet explained. There is par
lament in Vienna, where the ink
stands are nailed to the desks to
prevent their use as arguments
And Germany has a Reichstag in
which it is contempt of Majesty tc
express on IS real op nion. Or
the Thames is another parliament
in which o,e party is always ask
ing questions which the other party
declines to answer.
Then there are the French cham
bers, and last but not leas', the ag
gregation of orators IN Washing
ton, d. c., all of which ought to b'
a warning to the Car against in
stituting a body with talking rights
If he wants really to free the coun
try, let him try something besides
parliaments.

most of the stuff being published in

about the discovery of oil at Dem

whole situation in few words;

him must be paid. A failure on

Amongst these there are some who believe that they will come nearer to the realization of their desires by not attempting the i'm possible-they believe that it is better to regulate that which cannot be sup pressed Experience has proven them to be right in this.

MRS. M'KINLEYS CONDITION.
Was More Encoura Ging Yesterday
But still Very Serious.

Washington June 1.-The bulletin re-

statement given out since her return.
The three physicians were only in con-
sultation a short time, and a IL O'Clock,
Immediately after their departure, Sec

bulletin:
Mrs. McKinley's physicians report that

BILE this morning"
The President appeared to be encour-
aged over the slight improvement shown,
and this morning took a stroll through
the White House grounds in company
with Gen. Gillespie, chief of engineers.
There were many inquiries at the White
House to-day regarding Mrs. McKinley's $
condition. The gloomy character of the
bulletin issued yesterday has revived the
alarm felt when she was so low in San
Francisco. and many telegrams have been
received, asking about her state of health.
Several of the ladies of the cabinet called
this morning to make personal inquiries.
They were slightly relieved to learn that
she had had a fairly comfortable night.
The general public is showing much con-
sideration for the President, and there is
no disposition to intrude upon him dur
ing the trial and strain he is undergoing.
A number of senators and representatives,
including Chief Justice Fuller, Senators
Foraker and Lodge Representatives Bou-
telle of Illinois, Livingston and Adamson

The President saw the Chief Justice and
the two senators for few minutes, but
excused himself to the representatives.

10 O'Clock tonight and remained for a
short time with Mrs. Mckinley. He said
after leaving the sick room that the pa

call for consultation with the other ply

THEIR PAY CEASES JUNE 80.
Extra Effort Being Made TO Muster
Out Volunteers by That Date


Washington, June 1.-Acting Adjutant
General Ward received cable message
to-day from Gen. Macarthur, saying that
the transport Logan sailed from Manila
yesterday for San Francisco with two bat
talions of the Thirty-eighth Volunteer In
fantry and the Forty-fourth Volunteer
Infantry. Although every effort has been
made to land the volunteers in this coun-
try before the volunteer army goes out
of existence, it is not now believed that
it can be done with respect to all the
regiments yet to start on their long voy-
age across the Pacific To expedite the
matter, cable instructions have been for
warded to Gen. Macarthur to send mus
tering-out officer with each regiment on
the transports yet to sail, so as to have
everything in readiness for their muster
out on arriving In San Francisco. A
large corps of paymasters has been or
dered to San Francisco to make the final
payments, and there will be no delay in
complying with the law when the troops
get home. Under the law, the pay of
the volunteer soldiers will cease June 30
and If they are not mustered out by that
time Congress will have to make specific
appropriations for their extra services.

time before his death. was good He was
attacked with cerebral hemorrhage early
to-day and died shortly after noon. No
funeral arrangements have been made,
but it is expected that the interment will
be made here.
Capt. Howgate had singular and event
full life. While a trusted official OF the
signal service he was charged with ap-
propriatng a large amount of government
funds and placed under arrest. His es-
cape and flight were attended with many
dramatic features. for by ruse he got
away from a government officer having
him in charge, while the latter supposed
his prisoner was taking a bath. For
years he remained In hiding and
not until fourteen years after his
escape was he located by secret service
detectives as proprietor of an obscure
bookstore in New York For some time
before his actual arrest the authorities
here were aware of his presence in New
York. but were disinclined to take him
in custody as there was considerable
doubt concerning the evidence IN the old
case. 1t was finally decided 20 bring
him back and ex-Chief Drummond made
the arrest. He was brought back here,
tried and convicted. After serving
sentence in the Albany county peuiten-
tiary, he returned to Washington last
December.
Capt. Howgate was known as a scien-
tist of ability. He gave much attention
to Arctic researches, and was the
author of what Is known
as the Howgate colonization plan
| for reaching the north pole by means Of
| stations along the route. His attachments
were such that he doubtless would have
maze a name Tor hitnself IN the scientihc
world had II not been for his misfortunes.
| Up to the time of his death he firmly be-
lleved IN the colonization plan as the one
most practical for reaching the pole.
| Capt. Howgate was born in England In
| 1862 he was appointed a second lieuten-
| ant in the Twenty-second Michigan Volun-
| teers and served to the end Of the war
with distinction, earning promotion for
gallant and meritorious service in the
battle of Chicamauga and in the Atlanta
campaign At the close of the war he
entered the regular army and rose to the
rank of captain In the signal corps.

Islands and as such entitled to the pro-
lection of the United States"
The decision upon this point is Of i'm
portance as having perhaps some bearing
upon the status of the people of the Phil
ippines, Porto Rico and Guam. A year
ago the decision was reached to regard
the Porto Ricans as entitled to the pro-
lection conveyed by an American pass
port, but a formal decision of the test
case was prevented through the with
drawal of the application. The Foraker
act determined the right of the Porto
Ricans as "citizens of Porto Rico" to the
protection of the United States govern
ment. 1t is now held that the Spooner
law conveys the same privilege to the in
habitants of the Philippines.
