Saratoga. Aug 29.-John O. Car
Isle. former secretary OF the treasury
delivered the annual address before the
American Bar association here. lie
spoke on the power Of the United
States to acquire and govern territory,
which he said was a question growing
out OF the acquisition Of territory
from Spain. Unless the constitution Is
changed, which Is hardly probable said
Mr.. Carlisle. the law is the same.
whether the territory is located In the
eastern or western hemisphere.
lie next touched upon the limitation
OF the power to acquire territory un-
der the constitution OF the United
States and referred TO the power to
declare war and to make treaties. The
territory acquired by military occupa-
ton. the speaker declared. Is held by
the same until congress can meet and
substitute civil FOR military govern
ment
Congressional power to govern ac-
quired territory was dwelt upon az
some length and the Porto Rico In
cident In regard to imports and ex-
ports was alluded to by the speaker
Porto Rico and the Philippines can
not be domestic for one purpose and
foreign for another purpose" he said.
and quoted from decisions handed
down by the United States supreme
court 20 support his contentious.
Mr.. Carlisle said that the right OF
discovery Is Acknowledged by inter-
nal authorities The power 10 acquire
the rights derived from the same as
the right TO declare war. Not only Is
the power 10 acquire admitted but ;he
right 10 govern Is admitted.

CONDITION IN JAMAICA.
The People Are SEIZED win an Idea Of
Annexation

Kingston. Aug. 29.-The past two OF
three months have witnessed a re-.
markable recrudesence OF American
annexation ideas In at least two OF
the largest and most important Brit
ish West India possessions-Trinlda
and Jamaica. The leaders Of the agi-
tation are generally planters and bus
mess men. These point to the grow
ing prosperity of Porto Rico and de-
nounco the system OF British colonial
government. They also point to the
desperate state Of the sugar industry
and TO the deplorable condition Of the
people OF the islands. and seriously
suggest annexation 10 the United
States as the only possible chance Of
reviying their fallen fortunes Such
IS the view OF the planters and bust
ness men. and both together form a
very Influential clasp perhaps the
most influential class OF the commun-
ity. The natives. on the other hand
resurrect stories OF lynchlngs and the
workings OF the antl-negro laws In
the southern states and declare them
selves emphatically against annexa-
ton and strongly In favor of the Brit
ish rules which gives them a freedom
that has become 10 them even more
precious than industrial and financial
prosperity. Between these two fac
tions comes another class. influential
enough, though In a hopeless minor. /
ity holding that federation with Can. /
ada Is the only remedy Tor the ms /
from which the Islands are undoubt- /
eddy suffering.
The truth OF the matter IS that In
telllgent people here are becoming Al
together sick ot the British colonial .
policy. a policy that has resulted In
the almost total destruction OF the SUI
gar Industry OF the Islands The fruit
trade with the United States Is the
most profitable undertaking In Jamai-
ca today. Us growth Is cOntin-
uous and phenomenal II Us the main

20 deny that without the united fruit
