CRITlCISE THE JUSTICES
FRENCH PRESS COMMENT ON sU.
PREME COURTS INSULAR DE-
CISIONS

PARIS, May 31.-The French papers
only today discuss the decision Of the
United States supreme court in the in
sular~ cases. LIE Temps says: "If rumors
are true the judges have not succeeded in
maintaining themselves pure nor true to
austere principles, but have become ao-
cessible to the arguments and sophisms
of politicians. Their decision is an act
of the highest gravity and tantamount to
triumph for the Mckinley school OF
manifest destiny, for the jingoes spread
eaglism and the partisans Of a per-
manent army. On the other hand, clti-
zens favoring progress and economic re-
forms, who are faithful to the ideals of
Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln, are
filled with anxiety and sadness"
The Journal des Debats considers that
the decision implies that the annexed ter
.ritories cannot invoke tie benefits of
the United States constitution, and that
congress can impose on them any regime
1t likes, saying:
'In short the American dependencies
resemble the English crown colonies. We
do not think the American idea Of pro-
tecting the countries they save from So
called European tyranny is encouraging
to the Latin states Of America, who call
ed the pan-American congress, and we
better understand why the movement of
South America is towards Spain rather
than the United States"

MILWAUKEE, Wis, May 91-The pud-
ding, bushelng and scrapping clauses Of
the iron scale were considered at the
first session Of the Arnalgamated Asso-
citation of Iron. Steel and Tin workers
convention today. 1t is understood this
mart of the wage committees report was
adopted, and that the figures viii be
based on a pudding base Of So and a
1-cent card rate.
Consideration Of the finishing scale OF
the iron section took up the entire after
noon. The convention will wo.k but half
a day tomorrow. The sheet, steel and tin
scales will be taken up after the iron
schedule is disposed of. 1t viii PROBABLY
be Tuesday before the wage committee s
report is disposed Of A most impo- tant
matter to be ratified is the recommenda-
ton of the wage committee for con-
tinuous scale. 1t is expected this part OF
the report will be approved without much
opposition, as 1t is known that the plan
Is favored by the largest iron and steel
concerns in the country. The convention
will probably require two days to pass
upon the reports of the other Commit
tees There will probably be no change
in officers. but a lively contest Is ex-
pected when the time comes for choosing
the city for the next annual convention.

TRIUMPH OF IMPERIALISM.
What London Spectator Has to Say
OF InsuIar Decisions.

LONDON, May 31.-The Spectator, dis
cussing the supreme court decisions, will
say tomorrow: 1.-The decision is in ac-
cordance with common sense, and all
the facts of the situation. If American
commerce is to be worldwide, America
must become world power"
After alluding to 1.-The great effect on
American expansion, or if you like it
better, on American power the Specta-
tor will say further: ''Fhe conquering
of feebler states was done in the belief
that such states, whenever annexed,
must be included within the Union
The Spectator will further say: I'VE
believe the fate of American dependen-
.cies will be a good one, but we cannot
deny that the supreme court, in removing
the great danger attending annexation,
has made annexation easier. If we
were Spanish-Americans we should feel
new sensation of alarm if, for any
reason in the future, near or distant, the
statesmen Of the Union should desire TO
rule a Spanish-American state; we do
not see what would prevent. Suppose
they buy or conquer Nicaragua and so
terminate all complications as to the
control of the canal by cutting it through
territory absolutely their own what, ex-
cept force, which would hardly be ap-
piled, is to prevent them? Or, suppose,
which is quite possible, that under a
new and less wise president than Presi-
dent Diaz, furious quarrel arise with
Mexico, what is to prevent the Union
from annexing it entire? Formerly they
were restrained by the dread of includ-
ing so mary colored voters, and of an
archy arising from so many new half
civilized states. But under the decision
Of Monday they can hold Mexico as we
hold India
The Speaker and the Saturday Review
consider that the supreme court has up

In no way daunted by the capture of
eleven Of his guns by Gen. Darlington
six weeks ago. The garrison at Vladfon-
teln, apparently largely composed Of yeo-
manry had 174 men put out Of action.
That their assailants came to close quar-
ters and suffered heavily is shown by the
number Of dead left on the field.
The dispatch from Lord Kitchener. dat
ed Pretoria, May 80, is as follows:
Pretoria, May 3O.-Gen. Dixon's force

Big Trunk Lines of the Country tQ
Be Merged in Four Great
Systems.
Directing Hand Of j. Pierpont Morgan
in Amicable Settlement Among
Vast Interests.

NEW YORK, May 31.-(Speclal 1.-The
ground plan for the reconstruction of the
railroad map of the United States has
been virtually agreed upon at a series
Of conferences which have been going
on for the last three days, the final ses-
sion having been held this afternoon at
the Office of ]. P. Morgan & Co.
These conferences were attended by
James ]. Hill, E. H Hartman. Jacob
Schiff, George ]. Gould and representa-
tives of w. K. Vanderbilt, ]. P. Morgan
& Co., and the Pennsylvania interests.
The controlling powers of all the great
trunk lines and Western systems were
represented and the conclusions reached
have the moral force of contracts.
The plan, as tentatively agreed upon,
was cabled to J. Pierpont Morgan Thurs
day night and received his cordial ap-
proval and Endorsement in a cablegram
received today.
IN FOUR GROUPs.
Briefly stated, the plan provides for a
division Of the railroads of the country
into four groups, which, when finally
completed and rounded out, will be as
follows:
The Union Pacific will surrender the
Southern Pacific to the control Of George
]. Gould, John D. Rockefeller and their
associates in control Of the Missouri Pa
cifc The Missouri Pacific system will
be conceded an outlet to the Atlantic
seaboard
The understanding is that control OF
Delaware. Lackawanna & Western has
been guaranteed to the Gould-RockefelleI
combination which viii extend the Del
aware, Laekawanna & Western to Pitts
burg, there to connect with the line beine
built into that city from the West. The
Gould party is said to have paid or agreed
! to pay 300 for control of Delaware
Lackawanna & Western, the bid having
been raised from 250 to that figure.
The HarrlmanVanderollt combination
will retain Central Pacific as the West
ern continuation of Union Pacific, and il
will take under its control St. Paul and
North Western.
The Hill-Morgan party will have the
Great Northern, Northern Pacific, Bur
lington and Erie.
The Pennsylvania combination viii take
over Atchison and Rock Island.
The status Of the Southwestern railway
systems was not fully determined upon,
but it is not likely there Will be any In
t6rruption to the Pennsylvania llan OF
absorption of several lines in the cotton
belt east of the Mississippi. The anthracite
situation will not be disturbed in any
important manner, conditions there being
satisfactory to the ruling powers me
introduction of the Gould and Rockerel-
Ter party into the Eastern trunk line
field is not expected to make any dis
rurbance among the coalers. A year or
more may be required to work out this
magnificent scheme for the reconstruc-
ton Of the railroad may of the Western
hemisphere, but with the outlines Of plan
agreed upon the rest will follow.

WASHINGTON, May Sit Is Of

will not return to Venezuela. There
are two reasons for this decision. In
the first place Mr. Loomis has suffered
in health at his uncongenial post, and
In the second place, the president is not
disposed to expose him again to the
merciless attacks he has suffered In
Venezuela as a result of the execution
Of the orders Of the state department.

Mrs. Mckinley is recovering from the

Mrs. Mckinley failed to show any i'm
provement during the day, and tonight
her condition is reported as unchanged
from the status given in the bulletin is
sued during the morning. One of the
grave features of the case is the fact
tnat she continues extremely weak and
fails to gain strength. She is seriously
Ill, but has had severe attacks of illness
heretofore, and this gives rise for hope
that she will yet show Improvement. No
bulletin was issued tonight, and none
will be until after the consultation of the
physicians tomorrow. Both Drs, Stern
berg and Rixey called during the even
ing at separate times, the latter remain
