Des Moines, Ia, May 16.-The SUI
preme court has ruled that sales of
liquor to ''bootleggers" and other
resident violators of the Iowa law
cannot be prohibited when the sales
are made by agents of nonresident
dealers. The court holds that the
section of the Iowa liquor law known
as the 'muIct law'' prohibiting such
sales is in conflict with interstate
commerce laws and is therefore I'M
constitutional. The decision is rem
dered in favor of Pat Henaphy, of
Jefferson county, who was an agent
for an Illinois liquor house, soliciting

of understanding between himself
and Gen. J. H. Smith concerning the

of the arrest of several native presi-

peace and tranquility of the people
of this province, the military authori-

have done many things that are
calculated to hinder the progress of
civil government and make the peo-

WORSE THAN MARTINIQUE.
More Territory Has Been Devastated By
Volcanoes on ST. Vincent Than on
the Frep-,h Island.

KingstOwn, Island of ST. Vincent.
May ia correspondent of the As
ISOLATED press has. just returned here
from visit on horseback to the de-
vastated district of this island, dur
ing which he Travelled so miles and
penetrated to within five miles of the
Suofriere crater. The ash-covered
area of st. Vincent exceeds that of
Martinique which the correspondent
has also explored. The most con.
serVative estimate of the death rate
here now places the number at 1,7OO.
About 1900 bodies have already been
inferred. The entire northern part
of the island is covered with ashes
to an average depth of IS inches,
varying from thin layer at Kings
town to two feet or more at George
town.
It is estimated that the sea has
encroached from ten feet to ten miles
along the coast near Georgetown and
that a section on the north of the
island has dropped into the sea.
This is apparently verified by the re-
port of the French cable ship Pouier-
Quertier that soundings now show
seven fathoms where before the out
break there were SO fathOms of wa
ter.
Advices received here from Fort
de-France say that footing and rob-
berry are on the increase at st. Pierre
and elsewhere and that the author
tiles cannot cope with the conditions,
especially as local political quarreIs
at st. Pierre are interfering with
practical harmonious action. There
are 5000 refugees at Fort-de-France
and rioting is feared there.

A PRESENT FROM WILLIAM.
Germany's Emperor, Grateful to American
Hospitality, Offers to Give Us Statue
of Frederick the Great

Wiesbaden, Hesse-Nassua, May II.
The German emperor has tele-
graphed as follows to the president
of the United States at Washington:
am still under the deep impression
created by the splendid and cordial re-
ception of my brother, Prince Henry, by
the citizens of the United States of
America. In the speeches with which
he was greeted the fact was often men
toned that my ancestor, Frederick the
Great, maintained a friendly attitude to-
wards the young American republic dur
ing the course of her formation, thereby
laying the cornerstone of the friendly re-
lations Which have always existed be-
tween our two countries. The example
set to me by the great king intend to
follow. I wish to commemorate the visit
of Prince Henry by a gift to the people
of America which I request you to &C
cept in their names. I intend to present
a statute in bronze of Frederick the
Great to the United States, to be erect
ed in Washington, on a place which you
will kindly choose. May this gift be
looked upon as a lasting sign of the in
innate relations which have been sue
cessfully fostered and developed between
our two great nations.-William II.
Action of Congress Unnecessary.
Washington, May 17.-At the cabi-
net meeting yesterday the offer Of
Emperor William of Germany to pre-
sent to the United States a statue
of Frederick the Great, in commence
ration of the visit of Prince Henry
to this country, was discussed at
some length. President Roosevelt
has decided upon a site for the
statue. After giving the matter at
tention the president concluded that
no action by congress was necessary
and that as Frederick was a great
commander it would be most appro-
pirate to place the statue adjacent
to the new war college to be estab-
ished, in Washington. This college
is to be erected in the arsenal
grounds.
