Kid Ashe, of Cincinnati. lost the decision

JOHN HAY, PRESIDENT.
Likely So TO Serve, if Roosevelt Goes
to Maneuvers.
Baltimore Sun.

Baltimore Sun.
Secretary of State John Hay will have
the distinction Of being President OF the
United States for a while IF President
Roosevelt carries out his plan to accom-
pany the fleet under command OF Aonfai
George Dewey during the naval eVoluuons
in the West Indies in January.
While there is law which in direct
terms prohibits the President from gong
outside the jurisdiction OF the United states
during his term Of office. the common inter
probation of the Constitution is that by 5"
doing he would incur a disability which Is
contemplated by the Constitution IN pro-
viding for temporary succession. "lnabil
ity to discharge the powers and duties or
said officer" as well removal. death or
resigna ton Of the President. creates a con-
dition which, under the Constitution. re-
quires the next in line of succession TO per-
form the duties of President.
The general assumption has been since
the foundation of the government that the
absence of the President from the territory
of the United States would. for the dura-
ton of such absence. disqualify him for
the performance of the duties. and for this
reason Presidents have been careful TO re-
main within the national Jurisdiction while
in office IL is believed that on two or three
occasions President has, by force Of cir
cumstances, been carried short distance
over the line, but the period on such occa-
sions has been so brief as TO render IL pos
sible to ignore the fact. No President ever
has gone TO visit foreign shore, nor pub
licly and VIGOROUSLY at the time of the act
gone beyond the national Jurisdiction
Senator o. II. Platt Of Connecticut. a
member of the judiciary committee. who
believes I'm constituting the Constitution TO
meet conditions as far may be. thinks
the President may go without being sue
ceeded.
THE belief that the President cannot
leave the United States he said 10 a Sun
correspondent. lis, l believe, more OF a
popular delusion than anything else. i do
not think, either, that il would be without
precedent for President Roosevelt TO go out
of the country, although L cannot now re-
call the occasions when others have gone
beyond the three-mile limit OF the shores.
II the President would go 10 Boston By sea-
or 10 New London, he would pass beyond
the three-mile limit. and be much Al sea
and out of the country he would be in
going TO the West Indies. The sea is COM
mon property, and belongs to no nation.
The Supreme Court of the United States
has held time and again that the flag OF
the United States on all American war
ships floats over American territory and
that the sea is American territory wherever
those vessels happen 10 be.
This being so, l cannot think the Presi
dent would be necessarily out OF the United
States while on an American warship in the
West Indies watching naval maneuvers."

YACHT METEOR is FAST
EMPEROR WILLIAMS AMERICAN
BOAT FINISHED FIRST AT KEEL,
But Probably Will Lose the Race to
the CiceIy on Time Allowance
The Kaiser in Yachting Suit.

KEEL, June 27.-Emperor Williams
American-built schooner yacht Meteor,
with the Emperor himself on board and
steering most of the time, finished seven
minutes and twenty-five seconds ahead of
the Cicely in the large schooner race held
here to-day in connection with the regatta
The Cicely IS owned by Cecil Quentin, of
England and was designed by Fife. Under
her time allowance, however, the Cicely
claims the race by one minute and eleven
seconds. The judges have reserved de-
cision because of protest entered by NJ
Guilleamme, the owner of the Clara, which
was also in the race, who AYERS that the
rules required the Cicely to carry two
anchors at her bows instead of one. The
race will be given to the Cicely unless she
is ruled out.
The course was thirty miles, and a mod
crate breeze was blowing. The Meteor
crossed the line almost with the flash of
the gun and in the weather berth, and soon
drew out her lead, with the Cicely under
her lee. The first leg was a twelve-mile
beat to windward. The Cicely was quicker
in stays than the Meteor; she soon took
the lead and rounded the mark a minuate
and a half ahead of the Emperor's yacht.
The second leg was an easy seven-mile
reach on the port tack. The Meteor over
hauled the Cicey on this leg and rounded
the mark two minutes and twenty seconds
ahead of the Fife boat. The whole race
was duel between these two yachts the
other boats. trailing from three to four
minutes behind them. On the run home the
Meteor steadily increased her lead All
the yachts used their spinnakers over part
of the course.
Emperor William wore a blue yachting
suit and white cap. The Kiel regatta is
the only occasion in the year when EN-
peror William is seen in public in civilian
dress. As the Meteor crossed the line his
Majesty was cheered by the crowds on the
steamers hoving around the finish
The Empress and Fraulein Gerstoff. one
or her ladies in waiting, were on board the
Meteor during the race. The contest was
a trial between American and EngIish-built
boats. The Meteor, the Idula belonging
TO the Empress. the Iasca and the Nord-
west, are American-built yachts while the
Cicely and the Clara are of English con-
structiOn. Some of the best English sail
ing talent was in command. The Cicely
was sailed by Captain Wringe and the
Meteor, whose crew is largely English by
Captain Parker. Henry Barley of New
York, VINO was associated with Archibald
Carey Smith in designing the Meteor saw
the race from an excursion steamer.
Emperor William to-day signaled by flag
to the fleet the following message from
King Edward with reference to his appoint
ment, announced by the Emperor yester-
day, as an honorary admiral of the Ger
man navy: 81 am deeply touched by your
kind thought and proud to be an admiral
in your feet"

tradition, the absolute respect for ones
word, prevalent at the acadamy, is one of

This is what the president of Yale writes
1.-The influence of the United States Mill
tary Academy in the educational system
of the country has been of the very highest
Importance. 1t has consistently maintained
high standards of scientific teaching 1t has
trained civil engineers well as military;
it has fitted men to administer large bust
ness enterprises as well as 10 manage
armies. Best of all, ii has furnished a model
to the colleges of the country TO show how
rigorous technical training be COM
bned with the development of loyalty
and esprit de corps and those many quail
ties some of them tndefinable, which to-
gether constitute a gentleman.
The presidents of Columbia, Brown, the
University of the City of New York and
the University of Chicago write similar
letters. The Earring note is struck-as was
to be expected-by Mr.. Eliot, of Harvard.
He finds fault with the low requirements
for admission to the Military Academy,
the recruiting of the faculty entirely from
the body of graduates, and the short terms
of service of many of the instructors.
THE academy has had no good influence
upon the primary or secondary schools Of
the country says Mr.. Eliot. Besides the
university presidents, a number of old
West Pointers have written letters to Col
Church. Very Rev. DR.. Deshon, General
Grants classmate, now superior OF the
| Pauist Fathers. writes that his training
at the Point has been of use and value TO
| him as a priest. All these letters are
| aglow with affection for the old place and
| pride in its fair renown-
We have the best army in the world, as
| Lord Wolseey says. and we have the best
| military academy in the world. We have
| Also in our Congress, despicable little crea-
| tures-the brood has come down from JEFF
| ferSons time-who try to curry favor with
| their constituents by denouncing West
| Point 'aristocratic, snarling and yelp-
| ing at it's graduates, and foully traducing
| the army OF the United States. These
| demagogical cads and slanderers are a dis
grace TO the American name. Guam would

He did as he pleased with Blackburn, but
owing to the fact that he had been warned
not to deliver another blow as he did in
the opening Of the fight, he simply boxed.
When Blackburn succeeded in landing a
few light taps Ashe smiled at him. In the
seventh round Ashe started a light LETT

the bout TO Blackburn on the alleged foul.
Both men had hit during the previous
clinches.
Ashe said after the fight that he wanted
TO give the crowd a good exhibition and
went on with the affair after having made
Blackburn quit. He said he was afraid 10

ing given by the police. He denied having
fouled Blackburn.

and chain, declined to appoint counsel His
bail was fixed at Sl,00O.

being an accessory after the fact to a fell
ony, to-wit, the cracking of safe. His

Looking back upon the events Of the
past week one finds a curious instance OF
what at first sight appears to have been
a premonition of disaster In some strange,
unaccountable way all London seems TO
have been filled with sinister forebodings
that the coronation would not take place
upon the day appointed for IL. There was
nothing tangible 10 Justify this feeling. SO
far as the world knew the Kings slight
indispositiOn was a thing of little conse-
quence; and the most prompt and positive
denials were made in contradiction of the
rUmors that sped through London and
were telegraphed under the ocean 10 every
portion OF the globe. Superstition may
have played some part in creating and in
tensifying this popular anxiety; for several
days ago old saying widely quoted
10 the effect that the seventh Edward was
destined to be King but never 10 be
crowned One might be tempted 20 think.
indeed that this almost universal belief
in an impending check 10 the coronation
festivities was in the nature OF an instinct
"a curious manifestation Of folk-psychol-
ogy such as mystics love 10 dwell upon.
More probably, however. IL represented the
acute anxiety Of hundreds OF thousands or
human beings in whom either material in
terests or sentiments of loyalty inspired A
dread lest something should occur 10 mar
the attainment Of that upon which they
had set their hearts.

purpose OF enriching a syndicate. The

dent Imperialism had run its course and
that the whole matter would be settled at

US and inform us what they want that we
may Judge whether they are fit for the high
responsibilities of citizenship or whether
they be held in vassalage."
