Work Immediately on
Landing.

Copyright 1902, by Press Publishing Coz
HAvRE. Aug. 2s.-(New York World Ca
blegram-Special Telegram.)-On arriving
here today Charles M. Schwab was most
emphatic in his denial Of the story that
he is about to form universal steel trust
or that his voyage is connected with tho
affairs of the shipping trust. He said:
my trip is purely for rest and recu-
peration. 1 have been working pretty
hard recently and my physician advised
mt to go slow. l have no plans whatever
beyond an indefinite stay at various con-
tinental watering places. / intend to leave
business strictly alone while on this side
of the ocean. There is not the slightest
friction In the steel trust management
everything is most harmonious. l have
not the slightest idea whether trusts will
be an issue in the next presidential cleo
tion. but (smiling) l do understand, how
ever. that they are being freely discussed
nowadays"
Mr.. Schwab worked extremely hard dur
ing the voyage, and this morning he was
up before o'clock watching for mail and
at was immersed in a pile OF corFe-
spondence, with the steel trusts European
agent by his side. Passengers say he never
gave himself hve minutes leisure during
the voyage.

MORGAN TO HOLDERS OF STOCK
tend Voting Trust for Some
Years. 1e-

NEW YORK. Aug. 2s.-A circular to the
stockholders of the southern Railway COM
pany was issued today by Il Pieypont Nor
gan, Charles Lander and George f. Baker,
the voting trustees, recommending a contin-
uation Of the voting trust for FIVE years.
The company postponed a dividend declar-
alton recently, in order that the sharehold-
ers might have an opportunity to record
their wishes with regard to the voting trust
The circular contains the following:
"The events of the last eighteen months,
in connection with railroad properties have
revealed to us the danger to which cor
porate properties are exposed, of the con-
troll of their stock being bought up in the
market by purchasers not identified with
the property or permanently interested in
its development and improvement. There
fore, we do not hesitate to state that in
our opinion 1t is decidedly for the interests
Of the Southern railway to protect their
property by an extension of the voting trust
until negotiations now pending for the fur
ther development and strengthening Of its
lines shall be settled beyond any risk OF
being overturned and until the completion
OF other negotiations as to transportation
interests in the southern states which have
an important bearing on the interests of the
Southern railway"

CARLISLE TALKs TO The BAR

United states Power to Gov
ern Territory.

SARATOGA, N. Y. Aug. 3s.--John @. Car
isle of New York, former secretary Of the
treasury, delivered an address before the
American Bar association today. He spoke
Of the power Of the United States to own
and govern territory which, he said, was
a question OF the acquisition Of territory
from Spain.
Unless the constitution is changed.
which is hardly probable" said Mr. Car
lsle, "the law is the same, whether the ter
rltory is located In the eastern or western
hemisphere
He next touched on the limitation of the
power to acquire territory under the con-
stitution Of the United States and re-
ferred to the power to declare war and TO
make treaties. "The territory acquired by
military occupation" the speaker declared,
''is held by the same until congress can meet
and substitute civil for military govern
ment." Congressional power to government
acquired territory was dwelt upon at some
length, and the Porto Rico incident in re-
gard to imports and exports was alluded to
by the speaker.
Porto Rico and the Philippines cannot be
domestic for one purpose and foreign for
another purpose" he said.
Mr.. Carlisle quoted from the decisions
udDueu uOWu Dy tne supreme court.
Mr. Carlisle said in addition:
The right of discovery is not authorized
by international powers The power to
derive territory is derived from the same
source as power to declare war. Not only
Is the power to acquire admitted, but also
Is the right to govern II admitted. / don {

shall enjoy the liberties OF subjects of the
governing country.
When the treaty with Spain was ratified
Porto Rico and the Philippines became do
mestic, Those new possessions could be-
come domestic for one purpose and foreign
for another. 1t was held, however, that
Porto Rico and the Philippines did not be-
come domestic under the meaning OF the
revenue laws. The constitution was in force

Rico is domestic trade and the authorities
of the port of New York have ruled that

I T.. Bond of Chicago.
Reports were submitted by several of the

NORTH CAROLINA REPUBLICANS
IGNORE THE NEGRO.
T1e OuAook.

The Republican State Convention in North
Carolina had not a single negro among its
members-an event without precedent in the
history of the State. There we're several negroes
among the contesting delegates from the Black
BeIt-including ex-Congressman Cheatham
and ]. E. O'Hara, the eloquent negro lawyer
but in every case they were excluded and
the white contestants seated. Only lees con-
spicuous than the absence of the negro was
the presence of prominent white business
men who were until 1896 identified with the
Democratic party, and who until this year
have acted with that party in local politics.
From one of the cotton-manufacturing coun-
ties eight of the ten delegates were former
Democrats. In the long platform adopted
there was no plank condemning the dlsfran-
chisement of citizens because OF race, color, or
previous condition of servitude, or demanding
the speedy test of the DISTINGUISHING amend
ment before the United States Supreme Court.
On the other hand, there was plank con-
demning the new Constitution for having
worked the Acknowledgement of 5000 white
voters in the coming election. Even more
radical than the platform in breaking away
from the pro-negro past Of the party were the
speeches of Captain Charles Price, the perma-
nent Chairman of the Convention. In his
address on taking the chair he said that the
Republicans have accepted the Constitutional
amendment as a settlement of the race issue,
challenged his hearers ITO name a respectable
Republican in all the State who has shown
disposition to question that settlement" In
his speech at the close of the Convention, &C
cording to the Charlotte Observer, Chair
man Price went yet further and declared that
the amendment had delivered the Republican
party from "a body of DEATH" Apart from
its attitude toward the race question, the Con-
vention was notable for the friendliness of its
attitude toward great corporations, and for its
Endorsement Of an independent candidate for
or "PopuIistic" Democrat recently renomina-
ted by his party. The effort to reconstruct
the Republican party in the South on these
lines will be watched with interest all over the
Qnunkrv
