ASKS LEGAL ADVICE. /
President Calls m Senators Spooner
N M III S and Plat. II u ia 5ls nv

4 5s s5s and Plat. y sSs W
Washington, June ! President Nc
Kinley was yesterday afternoon in cons
ference with Secretary Root, Senator
Spooner; and Senator Plat of Con-
necticut. The conference was in refer
ence to the governments position In
the Philippines since the supreme court
cdecided that '.cession and possession
change the territory from foreign to
domestic. The president has had pre-
pared a new tariff for the Philippines
which is ready for PRONUNCIATION. The
Taft commission has about completed
the preliminary work for the establish
ment of q civil government in the
Philippines which shall make the mill
tary power secondary after July 1.
The president and the Taft commits
sion are operating under the Spooner
amendment to the military appropria.t
ton bill, which provides that "all mill
itary, civil and judicial powers neces-
sary to govern the Philippine islands
shall, until otherwise provided by con-
gress, be vested in such person OF per-
sons and exercised in such manner as
the president shall direct for the es-
Establishment Of the civil government. -
The
Situation Is So Serious
that the president has called upon not
only Secretary Root and Attorney Cen
eral Knox, but also upon Senator
Spooner, the author Of the act, and
Senator Plat for legal advice. He
must shape his policy in harmony with
the decision Of the supreme court in
the De Lima case, which declares the
Islands to be domestic territory and not
foreign territory. He desires to know
If in the light of the supreme court
congress has delegated to him power
to make tariff regulations-a power
which under the Constitution is vested
solely in congress. There is no ques-
tion about his power to levy and col
lect local taxes in the Philippines and
customs tariffs against foreign coun-
tries for the benefit of civil govern
ment in the islands. But there is
grave doubt as to his power to levy
customs taxes against the United
States or impose an export tax on
products sent from that country'to the
United States, thus discriminating
against the country over which he ex
ercises the authority Of chief executive.
The president will take no action in the
Philippines until his legal advisers
have gone over the decisions of the SUI
preme court and prepared an opinion
as to his exact power under the Spoon
er amendment

Government trials of plans for the
destruction of mosquito pests have
led to the recommendation of certain
measures which have proved most eff

as cannot be drained, and the intro

Lexington. Ky. May 3o.-Lincoln j.
McCarty. tged s.xty-eight, died at a

say he died of hydrophobia, but be-

Cincinnati. Bidding his wife goodbye
McCarty told her she would probably
never see him again as he felt he
would die during the night. Later he
visited his son, and invited his son to
be present at his death, which he felt
sure would occur Tuesday night. Co
ing home he developed symptoms
which the attending physician declared
to be hydrophobia. He was removed
to a hyospital and died yesterday. Ply
sitians attribute his premonition Of
death to the inordinate use of stimu-

were all Of Philadelphia. The party
started out for picnic early in the.

and the current was much swifter than
usual. However, the unfortunate
party Immediately struck out for mid
stream. All the girls were huddled in
the stern, one of. the boys was rowing
and the other was sitting on the bow OF
the boat. After getting in the middle
Of the stream and finding the current
too swift for comfort, the boat was
rowed in toward shore. During this.
time it was carried slowly down.
stream. The boy doing the rowing de-
cided to go through the locks, and as
he approached the dam he was told
by the lockkeeper not to approach any
closer. The warning was not needed
vS,,rs-
until he found that the lock was closed.
He attempted to turn the boat, which
was then about fifty feet frcm the
but he turned the wrong way. A mo-

Realizing then, for the first time,
that they were in danger, the girls be-

control Of the boat. Swiftly it was car
cied toward the brink Of the falling
waters and just as it reached the crest
Of the dam, over which thirty inches;
IF water was passing. the entire eight
stood up and the boat went over stern
first. The drop to the rocks below is,
approximately twelve feet. The boat
struck the water bottom up and as it
disappeared the whole party was under
it. Nothing more was seen by the few
persons who saw the accident for al
most a minute, when the boat reap
peared with one boy clinging to it's
Keel. Then the other young man was
seen to come to the surface and make
frantic effort to reach shore by
swimming. The six girls never rose to
the surface. The boy who was SWIM
ming became exhausted and sank be-
fore he could be rescued. The other
boy, who was clinging to the boat,
loated fully half a mile down the river,
and his rescuers had an exciting time
before they landed him in another boat.
He was greatly exhausted and was
slightly injured by the falling Of the
boat. Up to a late hour none of the
bodies of the victims had been re-
covered.

lock it when the cord is wound tightly.
Before finishing the task the handle is

The annual parely Of the baseball
managers has come to an end in both
leagues and within a few days the
ardent patrons of the sport will be
shiveringly watching the opening
spring games from the bleachers. In
view of the situation which developed
last season, the experiences of the year
should be of unusual interest as in
dicating what is to be the status Of
baseball in the future. Two leagues
are again in the field competing for
players, and in some cases competing
also for patronage, with conflicting
dates in the same cities. Whether the
interest in baseball in these cities is
to wane or increase you'd seem to
rest largely upon the success with
which the managers keep the clubs in
those cities near the top of the list.
However much the public may have
come to regard any n organization
as representative of professional base
Oall, the first consideration will be
the game itself. Whether or not two
leagues are desirable, now that two
have been formed let the aim on both
sides be to put up the very best kind
Of game possible. Rafting. closely
contested games will accomplish more
than the baseball magnates could hope
to achieve by any amount of diplo-
matte maneuvering before the OPEN
ing Of the esason.

Brave 40, Of q "rOush- in SAVING .
Baby.

Brave Act OF n -TouGb" In saving y
Baby.
1t was noS a long procession or a
pleasing one, but It attracted much at
tention. There wal a policeman in the
lead. Beside him walked a stocky.
bull-necked young fellow In a yellow
ish suit of loud plaid. His face was
bloody, and his right wrist encircled by
to bracelet of the "twisters" which
tackled him to his captor. The face
Of the policeman was also bloody and
his clothes we're torn. Behind these
two walked three other patrolmen,
each with a h%andcuffed prisoner. The
kid and his gang" had been caught
in the act Of robbing a saloon, and the
fight had been lively, although short.
The prisoners had been taken to the
detectives office, and photographed
and registered for the rogues' gallery.
They were now on their way to court,
and thence, in all probability, to Jail.
At Broadway there was a jam Of cars
and heavy trucks, and the procession
had to wait. Nobody has been able to
tell just what happened, but they all
agree as to the essential points. First,
the %bystanders saw a streak of yellow,
which was the kid; then a streak OF
blue, which was the policeman. The
prisoner had wrenched the twister
from his eaptor's hand, and made a
dash across the tracks. The police
man, thinking of course, that he was
trying to escape, had followed. Then
everybody saw a little child toddling
along in the middle of the track. A
cable car, with changing bell, was bear
ing down upon it with a speed which
the gripman seemed powerless to
check. The baby held up its hands and
laughed at the sound Of the gong. On
the other side of the street a woman
was screaming and struggling in the
arms of three or four men who were
trying to keep her from sacrificing her
own life to ave that of her child. Then
the kid stood there with the child safe
in his arms, the steel twisters hanging
from his wrist. He set the baby down
gently at his feet, loosened the clasp of
her chubby hand on his big red fist.
and quietly held out his wrist 10 the
policeman to be handcuffed again. He
had had n chance in a million for
his life when he made that desperate
leap, but he had not hesitated the frac-
ton of a second. Jacob A. Riis was
-mong those who saw the splendid
deed. If he felt the need of any en-
couragement in his fight with the
slums and his war upon influences
which convert young men like the kid
into "toughs" before they are twenty,
he must have left that Broadway ross
ing with new hope and a more deter
mined spirit.-Youth's Companion.

She Has None Of the Freedom AmerI-
can Girls Enjoy.
The Spanish girl has none Of the free
and happy times IL girls enjoy after
emancipation from the drudgery of the
school room and before the cares OF
womanhood begin, say a Madrid cor
respondent. All Spanish girls are con-
vent bred and their education consists
very largely in learning to embroider,
which is an art in which they excel.
At ID or 10, or even sometimes at 10
years old, they make their debut in So
ciety and are considered manageable.
Girls Of IA and boys of 16 frequently
marry, but divorce Is unknown in
Spain. If a husband and wife cannot
agree they separate and live apart.
The new woman" as we know her
is unknown in Spain, and though the
ladies of hat country are often grace
full and clever horsewomen, the bicycle
Is only just beginning to make its
way among them. Not only is there
among gentlewomen a prejudice
against cycling, as o being a grace
full accomplishment, but their natural
Incidence makes them prefer to be
carried on horseback to having to ex-
ert their muscles to propel a bike"
AS a rule Spanish girls take a on
siderable interest in dress, and though
they have a great love of bright col
ors they contrive to wear them so
they are becoming. Spanish women
have greater need OF care in the mat
ter Of dress than have English women,
for they fade SO much sooner. They
come to maturity far earlier than their
northern sisters, and. perhaps on &C
count CT their earlier marriages, at 40
they often have lost every vestige Of
youth and beauty and are perfect old

Every Chinese manager Of any in
stitution employing labor must pro-
vide employment for his father,
uncle, grandfather, innumerable cou-
sins and entire clan relationship.
These people do not work, are not ex-
pected to work, but are pensioners;
and their great number makes a bur-
den so heavy that the enterprises be-
come improbable. This has been the
cause of many institutions OF a for
eign character under exclusive Chi
nese management, being failures. and
Is largely accountable for the extra
cost of products Of all factories, G~sen-
ais. etc, operated by the Chinese au-
thorities. The other characteristic is
lack Of organizing and directing pow
er OF the Chinese mind applied to in
