Disturbing Factor in the
Insular Decisions.
Relation Of United States to Eu-
rope Profoundly Modified
by the Court.
Force OF the Monroe Doctrine
Weakened..T Tendency to
Imperialism.

London, May 29.-The world at large
stands to gain something by this mo-
mentous decision by which congress
may devise for dependencies a form Of
government outside of the American
constitution, says the Westminster Ga
zette today, discussing the United
States supreme court Judgment. With
out the decision the United States would
have been unable to adopt a more lib
eral trade policy outside of America
than within without disarranging the
whole of their continental fiscal system
The relations of America to Europe and
the world is profoundly modified by the
new departure. Colonies mean navy,
a navy means naval bases and coaling
stations. Naval bases are insecure un-
less they are backed up by possession of
the hinterland. This is the logic OF inn
perialism and 1t may lead the Ameri-
cans as far as 1t has led us. Moreover,
by stepping outside of their continent
the Americans undoubtedly weaken the
force of the Monroe doctrine. There is
a certain reciprocity in the present ar
rangeinents to conciliate Europeans to
their exclusion from South America, but
If the United States plunges into the
wider world politics equipped with a
strong navy and an American canal en-
abling it to concentrate on either ocean,
she can hardly claim to compete on the
principle which limits liability white
putting no limit to her expansion. En-
trance of the United States on the
scene as a world power is already re-
garded as highly disturbing factor by
European chaneellories. The new de-
parture makes it more important than
before for British and Americans, by all
possible means. to keep on good terms
with each other and settle by friendly
negotiation all outstanding differences.

Qufred Services of Specialists.
Vienna, May 29--News has just
reached here that the eminent cancer
specialist. DIR. Emil Ziemssen. has been
hastily summoned To attend the sultan
in Constantinople. VINO is reported TO be
near death The fact that this is the
third time this medical expert has been
called to the Ylldiz palace confirms the
iumors of the precarious health of ABB
dul Hamid which have been current OF
late.
few days ago Abdul Hamid was so
unwell, being unable to digest anything
but the lightest food, that Dr. Ziemssen
was called to Constantinople to give an
expert opinion He examined the impe-
rial patient and told him bluntly that he
would have to undergo an operation.
This the sultan peremptorily refused
and DR.. Ziemssen left after predicting
that certain crisis could not be
nverted. The cancer in the sultan s
stomach at that time was not large and
could have been removed with little
danger. Then DIR. Emin Pasha, Inc
noted Turkish physician. took Abdul
in hand and prescribed subcutancous
injections and other remedies. but with
no permanent effect. Last month the
sultan became very i'll and DR. Ziemssen
was again sent for. The physician in
sisted on an operation, hut the sultan
declined.
Since the last visit of DR. Ziemssen
the sultan seems to have lost his usual
energy. He is irritable in the extreme.
and when he takes any active part in
the affairs of state it is to order the.
punishment of all who dIsplease him or
supposed enemies. He has partaken of
numerous remedies sent to him and he
believes himself poisoned.

Gals and many OF the young Turk
party. fleeing from the Sultans sever
ity. have arrived here. They report
grave unrest at the porte a terrible
scare exists. No mans reputation or
position is safe and embarrassment of
the national finances has reached an
alarming point. AT times the sultan
seems insane, when the affairs of state
lapse into the hands III Tahsiii Bey
chief secretary. and Abed Zadeh Ahmed
Izzat Bey. the second chamberlain. To
the irritablity of the sultan is ascrIbed
