Joke on the Joksrs.

A Kansas man will be found equal
to the emergency on all occasions. AT
d recent banquet to the Supreme
lodge Knights of Pytbias, at NASH
vile, Tenn. Hon. Tully Scott, the
most popular young democrat of the
9th district, was the only Kansan
present and doubtless he made an inn
preston that will make the banquet
ers think many times of Kansas.
Champagne was served to all except
Scott and he was given large
Ratchet, a la Nation. Everybody
thought it was good joke but they
were dunn bounded when Scott arose
and hurled the Ratchet through 8
5000 plate glass mirror. He offered
to pay for it afterwards, but the
Southerners had appreciated the joke
to the extent that they were willing
to pay for it.

TIL lySULAR DECISION.
Two London Newspapers Consider That
the United States supreme Court
Has Upheld Imperialism.

London, June Tho Spectator, dis.
cussing the supreme court decisions,
says to-day: "lhe decision is in &C.
eordance with common sense and all
the facts of the situation. If Ameri-
can commerce is to be worldwide,
America must become world power"
The Spectator further says: "We be-
lieve the fate Of American dependen-
cles will be good one, but we can
not deny that the supreme court, in
removing the great danger attending
annexation, has made annexation
easier. If we were Spanish-Ameri-
cans we should feel a new sensation
of alarm. II, for any reason in the
future, near or distant, the states
men Of the union should desire to
rule Spanish-American state we
do not see what would prevent, Sup
pose they buy or conquer Nicaragua
and so terminate all complications as
to the control of the canal by cut
ting it through territory absolutely
their own, what, except force, which
would hardly be applied, is to pre-
vent them? Or, suppose, which is
quite possible, that under q new and
less wise president than Porfro Diaz,
a furious quarrel arise with Mexico,
what is to prevent the union from
annexing IT entire? Formerly they
were restrained by the dread of in.
GLIDING SO many colored voters, and
OF anarchy 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 Re,
view consider that the supreme court
has upheld imperialism.

A CABINET MEETING.
The President Consults His Advis-
ers on the Insular Decisions.
The PLAT AMENDMENT and CUBA.
Tho Interpretations by the Constitutional
Convention win Not be Accepted by
the American Government and Mes;
sage Of Rejection HISS Been Sent.

Washington, June 1.-The cabinet
was unable to reach any conclusion
as to the Philippine tariff situation
as affected by the recent insular deci
sions Of the supreme court. Attor.
ney General Knox will make care
full examination OF the language Of
the decisions at once and ascertain
their exact bearing on the tariff be.
tween this country and the Philip
pines. lie then will state to the
president and his cabinet the powers
now vested in the government in
dealing with these subjects. There
was little discussion of this matter
owing to the general lack of clear un-
derstanding as to the real effect Of
the decisions. Mr.. Knox may report
his conclusions on the subject at the
next cabinet meeting and probably
also will discuss the results of his
examination of the opinions of the
court with the president individually.
Meanwhile, discussion of the need of
an extra session Is deferred, as con-
sideration of the question OF an ex-
tra session was regarded as prema-
tire at this time. Members Of the
cabinet individually refrained from
even expressing their personal opin-
ion as to the possibility of congress
being convened in extraordinary ses-
sion,
The cabinet held that the amend
ments and interpretations and the
wealth Of whereases placed by the
Cuban convention upon the Platt
amendment amounted to practical
modification of the Platt amendment,
such as was beyond the power Of this
government to accept. The message
OF election sent to Gen. Wood advises
the Cubans in unqualified language
that there is no power resting In the
United States government to change
the terms Of the Platt amendment
and that this government insists on
the acceptance of the Platt amend
ment without amendment or qualif-
cation. The Cuban convention is
still in session and the message o.
rejection will be delivered to 1t i'm
mediately. The administration is
confident that the Cubans will under
stand, the exact attitude of this gov
eminent and make a satisfactory nc.
ceptance within a reasonable period.
The three main points in which the
action Of the Cuban constitutional
convention is regarded as unsatisfac-
tory relate, 1t Is said, to coaling sta
tions, sanitation and intervention. In
the matter of intervention the obiec-
tion is that the Cubans have so
this vitality important part
OF the platt amendment as to make
our right to intervene an ambiguous
and doubtful matter, whereas a |
straight, unequlvocal acknowledg.
ment Is wanted of our right to inter
venc when in our Judgment 1t is nee
cssary to assure Cuban independence
or stable government.
