Toying With the Constitution.

The Boston Journal thinks the OPP
ponents of Imperialism should be
thankful because of the supreme
courts Porto Rican decision. The
Journal says that had the court held
that the constitution followed the flag
and extended over u new
possessions, it would be impossible to
ALLEVIATE any of these islands in the flu
ture. This is so, according to the
Journal, because there is nothing in
the constitution that warrants the sur
render of any territory Or any people
once formally pronounced American.
Will the Journal take another look
at the constitution and discover if it
can any authority therein, either di-
rect or implied, for the government Of
subject peoples?
For people who are so ready to ig-
nore the constitution, so quick to set
themselves above the constitution, the
imperialists are very prompt crush to
the constitution to find prohibitions
against doing that which they do not
want to do, and authority for doing
that which they want to.

Is is All Caution in the Cuban AFFAIR."

Is is All Caution In the Cuban Affair?
When the Cuban commission visited
Washington they were told by Secre-
tary of War Root that the Platt amend
ment was the law of the land; that the
president was powerless to change that
law, and before the executive could OBJ
tain authority to act in the premises
the Platt amendment, as a whole must
be adopted.
The Platt amendment as a whole has
been adopted, and now the Washing
ton dispatches say that the administra-
ton counsellors have concluded that it
would not be wise for the president to
act in the matter of withdrawing the
troops from Cuba, even after a govern
ment shall be organized there, until he
shall have submitted the question Of
American evacuation to congress. It
is stated hat the president has fully
made up his mind hat he will not act
upon his own responsibility in the
premises"
Is it possible to regard all this as
mere caution and a desire to conform
to the laws and the equities of the sit
uation? Are not the people justified in
suspecting that there is a vust amount
of ~insincerity and hypocrisy in the ad-
ministration's attitude on the Cuban
question?

BERLIN, Dec. 2S.-American diplomacy
in Berlin, so far as it relates TO CONNER
cial controversies, is hampered by the
interference of the private interests con-
'cerned. The force of the representations
of the state department has been con
tinually impaired by American business
men acting independently of diplomatic
channels. This is the rather startling
purport of statement made to the cor
respondent of the Associated Press to-
day, by parsonage closely related to
the foreign office. He said;

three or four things that are the sub
jeets of correspondence with our foreign

troublesome in the spring, if our new in

Underlying the meat dispute is, OF
course, the protective tariff idea, in
which your statesmen have educated us
But beyond that, how can you blame us
if We exclude canned meats after the EN-,
balmed beef testimony. Public opinion
here has most unpleasant reeollections
of that and it is now irritated by the
boastful recollections or representatives
of the great meat firms whose attitude is
that whether the meat is good or bad,

SMASHED ICE RECORD.
Fauna Glenn Makes II Half Mile in
I:O4 Flat

Fauna Glenn Makes Half Mile in
1904 Flat
The Lake of the Isles Driving club held
its first matinee yesterday afternoon.
About 800 people We're present and We're
surprised as well as entertained.
Not one of them expected that any re-
narkable time would be made, and con-
sequently were surprised when they saw
last years record on ice lowered by one
and one-half seconds This was done in
the first heat of the 2:25 pace by Fauna
Glenn who made the half mile in :04 fat,
and beating out Susie Oh So by a short
head at the finish.
The best previous time over the same
course was made last year in 1:O51a, and
this was made after the horses had been
seasoned for their work and had been
accustomed to ice work. The old-timers
say that they look for some new ice
records to be made this winter, as all the
horses are In fine shape for work.
The first race on the programme was
the 2:21 special trot for prize OF $50.
There were but three entries for this
race, as two of the horses had not shown
up at the time scheduled to start. Rob-
ert Downs, Pepper and Dr. Pinney were
the starters. Robert Downs took the
lead and won the first heat handily, with
Pepper second. Or. Plnney threw ons
of his boots. which caused him to break
badly, and was distanced. Robert Downs
won the second and fourth heats, and
Pepper the third in the best time of the
race, which was 1:OS.
The 2:25 pace, for a prize of $50, had the
following entries: Susie Oh So. Fauna
Glenn, Lady Volanta, Nellie Bly, and
Brownie The first heat was won by
Fauna Glenn, after being driven out by
Susie Oh So, with Lady Volanta third
and close up. The next three heats We're
taken handily by Susie oh So, who took
the lead from the start and was never
headed, and Fauna Glenn easily defeat
ing the balance OF the field.

"Much of the trouble we are giving

when a new commercial treaty probably
will be negotiated with the United States,
