A BAD STATE OF AFFAIRS.
Poor Crops and Trade Depression Re
ported by Consul Furntss.


United States Consul Furniss, at Bahia
informs the State Department that the
financial condition of his consular district
has assumed such a serious aspect as to
| warrant a special report to the department.
What has been the greateast financial
crisis ever known in that section has been
foreshadowed in previous reports from Mr..
Furniss, although Improvement instead of
the present marked depression, was looked
for.
The present serious state of affairs is at
tributed to several causes. In the first
place, the long-continued drought in the
agricultural regions cut short crops for
home consumption. and necessitated the
| importation of food stuffs from neighbor-
ing states, and reduced the income of the
section by diminishing the export trade
which Is its mainstay. Whole sections
says the consul. became depopulated, cat
tie, and even people. dying by the wayside
in search OF food and water, and the state
and local governments had to contribute
for the support Of the destitute.
The federal governments financial policy
Is also held accountable for the present
crisis in affairs The consul states that
| in the governments attempt to elevate the
gold value of the paper currency it has
materially decreased the paper value of
exported products, and with the lowering
of the gold prices Of coffee, sugar cocoa
and tobacco it often costs the producer
more to gather his crop and get it to
hts money buys little more than of gold.
Federal taxes have been extended until
almost every purchaseable article has a
stamp on it. and 1t is necessary to put
stamps on price cards displayed in stores,
on calendars containing any advertisement,
and on bills posted on fences.
Then. too. the increase in the already
high tariff on imports. it is stated, has con-
tributed to a general bad state Of affairs
under which the financial condition OF the
Union has apparently improved, although
the condition OF Consul Furniss' state and
district has steadily grown worse
1t behooves United States merchants,
says tho consul, to make inquiry as to the
present status Of their prospective custom
ers in Bahia before entering into any ex-
tensive business with them.

STATUS OF THE PHILIPPINES,
Officials of the War Department Have
Nothing to Say Regarding 1t.


AS to the legal status Of the Philippines,
the officials Of the War Department have
nothing to say. They do not indicate
whether the tenure Is to be regarded
as one purely military, or whether they
have found In the decisions warrant for
taking the Spooner act as quite sufficient
in itself to Justify the establishment of a
purely civil government in the Philippines,
accompanied by the taxing power as ex-
hibited in tariff schedules.
The general statement is made that the
exercise Of authority is to be by virtue of
the supreme power reposed in the Presi-
dent; 1t may be either as commander-in-
chief OF the United States military estab-
lishment or by virtue of the special desig-
nation of the Spooner law
The collector at San Francisco will go on
taking up Dingley duties on imports from
the Philippines, for the cabinet has salts
fled Itself that the practice is legal, or, at
any rate. the authorities are not bound to
otherwise declare in the absence OF a de-
cison by the highest judicial authority.
The failure of the court to announce a
decision in the fourteen diamond rings case
the one involving the legality of the impo-
sition OF Dingley duties goods coming
from the Philippines-is regarded as war
ranting the belief that the court old not
find In this case parallel to the De Lima
case.

SENSATIONS AT HONOLULU.

HONOLULU, May Is. via San Francisco
June 5.-Sensations that have deeply stirred
Honolulu have grown out of the investiga-
lions Of the grand jury summoned by Cir
cult Judge Humphrey to investigate
charges Of bribery in the legislature.
Last Saturday three of the best known
lawyers of Honolulu-Gen. A s. Hartwell,
w. A. Kinney and S. NJ. Ballou-were SEN
fenced to thirty days in jail for contempt
Of court by Judge Humphreys. but before
they reached the prison all were released
by pardon by Acting Gov Cooper
The sentences were on account Of an at
fidavit which the attorneys attempted to
read and file in Humphreys court to show
on motion for a change of venue. the
judges personal bias against Editor Smith
of the Advertiser, who was Indicted by the
grand jury for perjury In the storm raised
by these proceedings the grand jury's in

WORK OF LUTHERAN SYNOD.
Discussion of the Report of the Board
of Education.


of Education.
DIES MONIES. Iowa. June 5-Reading
and discussion of the eighth annual report
of the board Of education occupied the
morning session of the general synod.
Evangelical Lutheran Church. A motion
to give Carthage Qll.) College one-third
OF the boards apportionment for the en-
suing two years was discussed at length.
1t is expected the synod will adjourn to-
morrow evening.
Following is an abstract of the board
report:
The eighth annual report of the board OF
education showed that the total number
of students. registered in 1S99-19O0. was 1856
and in 19OO-19O1. SO. The percentage Of
protesting Christianity among them was
GO.
The amount received for the work has in
creased from $500 in 1899 to s26993 in
1901. For this constant growth in the sup
port the board was grateful. and it was
stated that the schools have in them the
promise of a larger growth and greater
fruitage If faithfully nurtured by the
church. The limitation occasoned by the
payment of so small part of the appor-
tionment Is deeply to be regretted Pro
found Is the conviction that unless the
church can be aroused to a truer appre
hensiOn of the function and force Of Chris
fiuence. she must fail in taking the place
she is called to occupy among the organ
lied forces of Christendom. The time has
passed when our colleges and seminaries
can be sustained with the crumbs of our
benevolence. Will we make the adequate
response or will we loiter along the way.
For a quicker, stronger steady step for
ward we plead"

PORTO RICAN DE SION
VIEWS OF FORMER SECRETARY OF
STATE JNO. w. FOSTER.
Conclusion Meets the Wants of the
Country AZ to Government of
New Possessions.

Former Secretary of State John w. Fos-
ter, one of the foremost authorities on in
ternational law in the United States. is of
the opinion that the country at large Is
satisfied with the recent ruling of the Su-
preme Court in the Porto Rican cases. In
speaking on the subject to g. Star reporter
today Mr.. Foster said:
aside from the legal aspect OF the case
1 deem it fortunate that the court took the
position 1t did. Consider the Philippine
situation. for instance. The United States
now has possession of the archipelago.
Having them in our grasp 1t necessarily
follows that we must govern them; in other
words, the legislative branch of the gov
ernment must enact and the executive
must sign laws for their regulation The
decision of the court in the Porto Rican
cases clearly and unequivocally delegated
such authority to the Congress 1t there
fore settles the much-mooted point as. to
whether the Congress had the power to
regulate affairs In. our new possessions
For this reason, l say, the decision was
practical and sensible. It will be a great
bulwark for those now in power in the
future government of our territory IN the
east. The exigencieS of the situation de-
manded just such a decision as was rem
dered.
Meets the Wants of the Country.
There appears to be great uncertainty
to what is the real law of the cases re-
Gently decided. but TO my mind there seems
doubt that the decision is exactly in
accordance with the present needs of the
government. In other words, whatever
should have been the decision Of the court
as a legal question, the conclusion reached
meets the wants of the country In the
matter of the government of the possess
sionS acquired result of the Spanish
war.
1T has been suggested that there is diff
ference in the application Of the opinion In
the Porto Rican cases to the Philippines.
In the case of Porto Rico the power of the
United States extended throughout the
island Immediately upon its annexation by
treaty. At the time of the transfer of the
Philippines to the United States in accord
anCe with the terms of the treaty a state
of war existed throughout the greater por
ton Of the Islands, and the power Of the
United States did not prevail generally.
1t has been suggested that this situation
may alter the legal aspects OF the question
and that the Supreme Court nay not reach
the same conclusion in the Philippine cases
now pending before the court, which 1t
announced in the Porto Rican cases. 1t Is
a question: however, as to whether the
Filipino disturbances can legally be reCog-
nized genuine war. This subject is one
of Importance. and 1t rests with the court
to determine whether it shall be recognized
as such. in case of which, it is suggested,
the opinion regards the eastern posses
sions may differ from that affecting Porto
Rico
