Statistics o' the values OF estates
sworn to in Great Britain upon the pay
ment OF taxes known as death duties
show much lower range OF fortune
than we are becoming accustomed to In
this country. Thus during the past
year 296 estates were reported with
a valuation OF not less than $780,
each, and yet there were only five Of
them with a valuation In excess Of &,-
100000, During the last Is years there
| have been only Is estates reported at 4
valuation approximating Sl000o.0oo and
Of these only three were in excess OF
SIS, ,000. 900, the largest of the whole be-
ing the estate of George Smith. who
made his fortune IN Chicago, the valua-
ton of that being placed at about SSS-
000.00o, The figures do not show pu
well in comparison with the estates left
by American millionaires, but purhaps
the fact that they have 10 pay taxes on
the full amount reported while in this
country no such taxation exists. may
have something 10 do with the differ
ence in the totals. Even when allow
ance is made for that, however. II ap-
pears the time has gone by when Lon
don could be looked up as the home of
the richest people ON earth. The big
bankers, the brewers. the rich merch-
ants. the hereditary landlords and the
nabobs who returned laden with the
wealth of India. are no longer the Won
der OF the world. The American plu-
tocrat has surpassed them, and we can
count in this country several men who
have given away more than the value
of what would be counted in Great
Britain a very big estate. indeed, \
notable feature of the report for last
year is that the average age of the 296
persons whose estates footed up more
than s50O,oOO each was rs years. More
than one-fourth of the whole number
We're 50 years or upward, and 10 less
than six had passed the nineth year.
As rule they were men who had in
herited wealth. or had made 1t slowly
and without taking any great risks. 1t
is reported that hardly single specu-
lator was among the number. Evident /
ly wealth is conducive to longevity, if |
man has sense enough to live with a
fair degree of prudence.

The President. Vacation.

WASHINGTON, June 27.-President Roosevelt has completed arrangements 10 cast off the active burdens of gov ernment for the summer. By way of a prelude the president led a party of congenial friends on horseback last evening to the picturesqueIy situated log cabin of the Dickey family on the Virginia shore of the Potomac river The president had arranged little sur prise for Mrs. Dickey, who had been notified to prepare fried chicken din ner for seven gentlemen. She had no knowledge that one of them would be the president, who came dashing across the hills on his new saddle horse Wyo- ming, the gift of citizens of Douglas, Wyo. Other members of the party in- cluded Civil Service Commissioner Proctor, Commissioner of Corporations Garfield and Clifford Pinchot of the ag- ricultural department.

Speaking of the supreme court and it's minority and majority reports on re- cent occasions, a New York paper says the position of the court to-day may be summarized as follows: MT Justice Brown, the bulwark of the administra- ton and of imperialism, holds that the constitution does not extend by it's own force to possessions acquired by the United States even after they are made into territories. Justices Day, McKen- ma, White and Holmes maintain that whenever possession is organized as a territory 1t becomes at once and thenceforth part of the United States and subject to the Jurisdiction of the constitution without any special declar- ation of congress to that effect, though, before becoming such territory, it is subject to the will of the congress. Justices Fuller, Harlan, Peckham and Brewer believe that the constitution is the supreme law in every territory as soon as it comes under the sovereign dominion of the United States for pur- poses of civil administration (not neces- sarily being an organized territory), and whose inhabitants are under its entire authority and jurisdiction

The Washington correspondent of the Democrat in dis cussing this question, has the following to say: T have known MT Bailey for fifteen years, and I know he would not wilfu1ly nisquote or misrepresent any many, and especially a man for whom he had the high admiration that he had for MT Cleveland. saw the letter to Mir Bailey written by Mir Cleveland making the appointment for this inter. view, and in which he said he would be glad to see Mir Bailey in behalf of his paper.

The direct quotation of MT Cleveland was very short, but it was unmistakable and took him out of the running as possible candidate. The general consensus of opinion here is that MT Bailey told the trutA, and that MT Cleveland never would have denied the interview had he not received in structions from some man in his select coterie of friends to do so, in order to hold all the power that a prospective candidacy would give him in the next national convention. Evidently they believe that his name will carry more weight with the element that left the party in 1896 and 1900, make them more active in participating in the con- ventions next year and more potent in the selection of some candidate accept able to them. They are simply using the name of Cleveland to conjure with. The simple truth as told by MT Bailey has forced their hand"

Sheriff Allen went to the scene of the murder and placed Worden under arrest.

WASHINGTON June 27.-Sir Thou- as Lipton in this city spent one of the pleasantest days of his life, according to his own testimony. He can hope none better, he says, unless he should happen to see the third Shamrock cross the line atWinner. President Roosevelt reiterated his statement of two years ago, when he met Sir Thomas, that if the cup must go the grief would be less severe, knowing that it went fn the good ship of such true and persistent sportsman as Sir Thomas Lipton. Just before taking the train for New York Sir Thomas took one lingering look at the statue of Victory surmounting the dome of the capitol and, with a sigh, said to General Corbin who was bid- ding him goodby, At least, general, should be complimented because you have found it necessary to brace up your Victory in my honor.'
