Han,lis TaylorTalks.

W dSuiHStOu FOSt.
 Few people. I venture to say, even in high official positions. know what Jus tice first wore the gown in the Supreme Hannis Taylor of Mobile, Ala, at the Raleigh last evening. MT. Taylor is 8 recognized authority among the writers of law books, being the author of two "The Origin and Growth of the English Costitution' and International Republic Law" In 1893, Mir. Taylor was appointed United States Minister to Spain by Presi- dent Cleveland. He returned to this country in 1897. MT. Taylor has been in Baltimore during the past few days. where he attended and participated in the ceremonies at Johns Hopkins Univer- sity. He is now working on another edi- ton of "The Origin and Growth of the English Constitution" and is putting in most of his time at the Congressional Library.
 At the clerks office today" resumed MT. Taylor, "the question of who first wore the gown came up, and we investi- gated 1t and found that when Justice John Jay took the office he thought the members of the Supreme Court should wear a gown of some sort. Accordingly he appeared in his own academic gown, which he wore by virtue of having re- ceived a degree from the University of Dublin, or. as it was then known, Trinity College It was a tri-colored gown, too. Such a garment would look peculiar now. since the black gown has been adopted" l"
 An interesting feature of the incident related by MT. Taylor is that he has, been invited and has agreed to go to Dublin to receive the cap and gown of the uni- yersity and the honorary degree of IL.

YOUNG MEN FIGHT FOR POWER.
They Are Tired of One Man Rule in
 the House.

Washington Special to Chicago Chronicle.
 The movement of so-called young Re- publicans of the House to secure recogni- tion from the combine which has con trolied the machinery for the last three years may or may not be successful, but 1t is at least the beginning of a move ment which sooner or later will result in House management. The complaint of the men who originated the present movement is the same that has been heard continu- ously since the Reed rules were first adopted. It is that a few men arrogate to themselves the powers and privileges which ought to belong to the membership of the House. They decide upon legis- be passed and what bills shall be kept in the pigeonholes of the committees They jump into the forefront on every occasion when important matters are, be- ing considered. They relegate the vast majority of the members to such oppor- tunities as may present themselves to secure recognition.
 The present movement is not directed against the Reed rules so much as it is against the men who enforce the rules. Doubtless the present revolt will be stifed. The power of the Speaker. who Is most directly interested in preserving the present state of affairs, is too great to be easily overcome. Some future re- volt, however. will succeed.
 The House is becoming less and less a deliberative body every year. The meth becoming more and more arbitrary. The power of the Speaker is growing with each session. The younger men do not like 1t. They desire greater freedom and are confident that better results could be achieved if g. change was ordered.

TARIFF FOR CUBA.
Election of President Palma and Dan-
 ger of Canadian Treaty

Washington Special to Chicago Tribune.
 The election of General Palma as Presi- dent of the Cuban Republic has been off, cially announced to the United States government. The actual recognition of the Republic of Cuba as an independent When President Palma Is inaugurated and a treaty negotiated binding Cuba to ob- serve the terms of the Platt amendment. the United States will be forced to allow the Cuban Republic to run its own ma chine.
 Cuba could probably make an excellent bargain with Canada. The Dominion uses lots of sugar and has four and provisions to sell. which can be disposed of on offer. It has been inumated, therefore. that some of the agents of the Dominion of Canada are already on the ground in Cuba with view to entering into reel procity arrangements in case the United States fails to do so.
 There Is mistaken idea that the Platt amendment forbids the Republic of Cuba without the consent of the United States. The Platt amendment does not deprive Cuba of any treaty-making right, with the single exception that the Republic of Cuba is forbidden to enter into any treaty which would impair its independence or which would authorize any foreign power to control any part of the island for military, naval or other purposes There is nothing to prevent the Republic of Cuba making any kind of tariff treaty 1t sees fit providing for reciprocity with any country. It is expected that Presi- dent Palma will be inaugurated not later than May l. There is. therefore. only two months in which to pass a reciprocity law through both Houses of Congress

CRISIS NEAR AT HAND.

Republican Leaders Find They Must
 Settle the Cuban. Tariff Bill Washington Special to Chicago Record
 Herald.
 A crisis in the Cuban question is near at hand. Most of the leaders of the House. including Speaker Henderson and his lieutenants. are using their influence in favor of the 20 per cent reduction agreed upon by the Ways and Means Committee. But the beet and cane sugar crowd are fighting desperately. MT. OK friends were able to hold a majority against the proposed reduction. If he is right and the Republican conference fails to adopt a resolution supporting the front with special message. If the leaders of the House cannot control . majority In favor of a proposition so mild and harmless as this. the President will try his hand. It is predicted that if the President finds 1t necessary to speak at all. he will speak in no uncertain voice. and that the opponents of fair play to Cuba will find storm of public opinion buzslnR about their ears as result of
 Canal matters are also likely to come to a crisis within a few days. Admiral Walker was asked today what, in his opinion. would be the outcome of the matter. and he. replied that he saw no
 
 Congress would pass the Spooner bill.
 That is what Congress ought to do," said Admiral Walker. That law would place business affair in the hands of the President. who could proceed to dis pose of it in business way. He could send for the minister from Colombia and say to him: Now I have authority from Congress to close arrangements for one of these canals. am ready to talk business with you. What are you will ing to do? The United States Is prepared to pay a fair price for what 1t wants, hut nothing more.' The President could send for the ministers from Nicaragua and Costa Rfca and talk to them in the same way. Of course do not mean that the President would do this in person. but through the State Department or a chosen commissioner to represent hipa.
 With the Spooner hill law we should have all these Central American govern ments where we want them. We could play one against the other, and conclude an arrangement with the government that made the most favorable terms. It Is the only businesslike way to solve the problem, and I shall be much surprised if Congress does not take this view of it. I see nothing in the recent demand ef the Colombian government for a settle ment with she Panama Company which should interfere with the sale of the property to this government. The only larger is that Ssnat DTS and Eepresenta- tives will become disgusted with Coionl- bias methods and the Panama tangle as they call it, and lean more strongly to the other route"

 It is too much to expect that Said or anyone else will regenerate the Turkish regime. This can only be attained by years of radical reformation. So long as Abdul Hamid lives this position is made doubtful by his peculiar character. He has elected to be largely his own first minister, just as Wilhelm Is his own chancellor. with Won Buelow as a secre- tary. The Sultan will scarcely give up what he has arregated to himself; but, despite the Ottoman despot, something may be done by Said Pasha to improve the system of government.

A NORTH ALABAMA VIEW.
Of the Coming Gubernatorial Con-
 test.
Decatur News.

Decatur News.
 The political status in Alabama pre- sents a most interesting study just now. And it's all on account of ex-Governor Johnston. Will he mako the guberna- torial race against Governor Jelks is an absorbing question with those who are watching the situation.
 Governor Jelks, as all know, is an an- nounced canu4date for reelection, and it Is stated the opposition will put out a full ticket, which means they Intend to make a warm contest. With Governor Jelks Is lined up in solid phalanx that wing of the party which favored the call ing of a constitutional convention and the ratification Of the new constitution. lie also has the powerful influence of the entire Congressional delegation and the almost unanimous support of the State press.
 If MT. Johnston enters the contest, he will throw hls whole soul into the fight, He realizes that it will be matter of political life or death to him. lie is one of the shrewdrst politicians in the State and possessed of bull dog pertinacity. His following consists of the anti-rati- f1c ,uonists and generous sprinkling of Populists and Republicans.
 W, say the contest would be interesting because MT. Johnson would make IL the supp eIne forts of his life to again restore himself to political power and at tain the darling goal of his ambition, the S. na'c. Then. too. the routing of Governor Jelks and his forces would af- ford the ex-.iovernor and his cohorts a degr,c of satisfaction such as is seldom vouchsafe to mortal man. The present custodians cf the State would go out and the lattI, come in. They would change the entire iitical complexion and status of Alabama. Their mission would be to rage to the earth the structure of good works that has been erected since the last Johnston Administration and dissolve the new constitution and all the

We assume that If she will turn in the proceeds to help repay . generous public who put up mo- body seems to know just how much to buy on the rascals who purloined her.
 And that brings up another difhculty of the situation. 1t seems to be accepted all around that our government, having the boats and guns, will demand from somebody, who can pay. the refunding Of the money put out in the ransom. Now suppose that is done. and that the money is recovered. What will become of 1t! Can 1t be returned to the givers, when all over the country anonymous contri- buttons were poured in to the ever present boxes? Who can find the unknown? We cannot see any outcome that will not work abundant injustice: and 1t will be due primarily to the fact that the affair was handled wrongly from the beginning.
 We have never believed that Miss Stone was in any physical danger. The mo. ment she was killed her market value ceased. But, had she suffered death her. self. was not that part of the,risk she voluntarily assumed when she entered upon and consecrated herself to her work? The mighty dollar has intervened; and now if 1t should turn out that the generous public had paid their cash to make her @ money-getting lecturer or magazine-writer. would not they have a reasonable grievance, and one that would reach beyond the woman herself?

MxrNa rHrNos.

Newspaper correspondents. in writing to or for the press. frequently leave much to be supplied by the reader. evidently under the impression that everybody is as wise as the writer. which sometimes isn't the case. For example. The Dan- vile Cva.) Press has a correspondent who writes 1t that certain old darkey who had been suffering for three years with heart disease had recently died. Then he continues:
 His family could not prevent him from climbing a small tree, after distinct improvement in his condition was noted on the day of his death. He had refused to go three feet from the ground before this. He insisted on topping the tree, and with this in view, struck Iron spikes in the trunk to aid his climb. At the fork of the tree, fifteen feet from the ground. he stopped and died. and it took six men to get his remains out this em- barrassing situation. \ There are several points about this bit of news which need elucidation. It ap- pears from the first sentence that the old darkey must have belonged to- the family of tree-dwelfers, or he would not have been so anxious to climb tree as soon as he began to feel better. True, he wanted to top the tree, but that job could wait, but he acted as if he thought 1t must be done at once. Possibly he had premonition that if he didn't do the work right then he would miss the chance.
 Then. again, why should he wait till he got to the fork of the tree before dy' ing? Was he afraid if he didn't get to the crotch he might fall and muss him. self up? That is the only explanation we see. because the correspondent says that ''he stopped and died'' when he go' to the fork. and it looks as if he had picked out that place to cash in. The correspondent has one more write-ur coming to him.
