RULES AGAINST
The PRESIDENT
Board of General Appraisers
Decides Mr.. Roosevelt
Exceeded His Authority
CUBAN TREATY IN ISSUE
Proclamation PostpOning Its
OperatiOns Ten Days
an Executive Mistake

NEW YORK, March IA board or
United States General Appraisers an
nounced a decision to-day in wnicn IL
held that President Roosevelt pos
sessed no legal authority to postpone
for ten days the date when the Gu
ban reciprocity treaty took effect, as
hesdid in his proclamation Of the treaty.
The case was brought by the Dalton
Company, which maintained that the
treaty took effect on March 1, when
the ratifications took place That point
had already been decided in the mega
tive, and the Board of Appraisers did
not pass upon 1t in to-day's decision
The United States Senate, when 1T
ratified the treaty, inserted an amend
Ipent that it should not take effect
until approved by Congress. Congress
approved 1t on December IL and the
President on that date issued his proc
lamation- He provided, however. that
the treaty should not take effect for
ten days.
Judge Somerville, who wrote the
opinion of the board, calls attention to
the fact that the first clause in the act
of Congress of December IL provides
that the treaty shall go into effect
when the President has received sat
tion of the republic Of Cuba to give
full effect to the convention and issue
a proclamation accordingly"
Judge Somerville then says:
The proclamation itself, however. recites
that such evidence has been received by the
President. Its language is: And whereas
satisfactory evidence has been received by the
President OF the United States that the repub-
lie OF Cuba has made provisions. etc 1t is
difficult therefore, to see why the convention
did not by its very terms become Immediately
operative. We know OF no constitutional au-
thority which would authorize the executive
TO postpone It's operation day after this time.
IL he could defer it's operation for ten days
there would seem no reason why he might not
do IL for ten months. II would seem that he
could more postpone the operation OF
treaty. duly ratified. than he could that of a
statute duly enacted
AS matter of fact, in the present instance.
1t seems too clear for doubt that the action OF
the President Is attributable to the ambiguity
Of the language OF the treaty itself. and the
confusion of the dates which occur in it, the
harnonizing of which has required the closest
scrutiny and stuiy--the first date for it's oper-
alton being that fixed by the diplomats who
negotiated It. namely the tenth day after the
exchange of rathcations. the second being that
fixed by the Senate, namely the time when Il
should receive Congressional approval, and
third element of uncertainty being involved in
the language of the act OF Congress. stating
that "the President is hereby authorized 10
Issue his proclamation and thereupon the
tenth day after exchange of ratiications." ETC..
the treaty should become operative.

LORD SALISBURY GUILTY
OF A TACTLESS MOVE
Further Embarrasses the Balfour
Ministry by His Tilt With
Chamberlain. --s-.-

LONDON, March 2S.=Prernfer Ball
four had a long conference yesterday
with Lord Salisbury concerning the
latter's letter to the Times relative to
the late Lord Salisbury's attitude to-
ward protection and Joseph Chamber
lain's fiscal policy. which latter has
caused a great sensation in the lobbieS
Of Parliament. 1t is understood that
Lord Salisbury wrote the letter with
out consulting the Premier and that
he, a member Of the Government,
should so bluntly repudiate Chamber
lain's policy and emphasize the strong
divergence of views in the Unionist
party on the fiscal question Is con-
sidered not only an indiscreet but a
tactless move which Chamberlain and
his party will be bound TO resent.
letter from Chamberlain in reply
to Lord Salisbury's communication ap-
pears in the Times this morning, in
which, after expressing regret that
Lord Salisbury should think he had
misapprehended his fathers views. he
proceeds to give extracts from speeches
delivered by the late Lord Salisbury
between 1892 and 1895. which Chamber
lain maintains show that he approved
Of retaliation and colonial preference.
Chamberlain adds that it was only
after Lord Salisbury's death. in 1908.
that he (ChS.mberlain) developed his
policy beyond the lines of these two.

ENGLISH OPTIMISM.
London Editor Sees Where Britain
Will Profit by the War.


LONDON, March 2S.-The Daily Tel
egraph this morning editorially returns
to the subject of peace negotiations and
of the common interests of Great Brit
ain, Japan and the United States in the
Far East. The newspaper thinks that
though such a triple alliance is emf
nently desirable, the Monroe doctrine
would prevent America allying her
self; but as far as Great Britain and
Japan are concerned there is nothing
to prevent permanent offensive and
defensive alliance, which the Daily
Telegraph contends might even induce
Japan to forego indemnity, and which.
by placing at Great Britain's disposal
in India the service of Japan's fine
troops, would forever remove the ap-
prehensions of Russian invasion of In
dia.
The Daily Telegraph further says
that such treaty, which would date
from the conclusion of peace, would,
with the moral support of the United
States behind 1t, be a guarantee of the
preservation of peace in the Far East,
the open door in China and the devel-
opment of trade for all nations In the
Orient

Even French Bankers Eager to Lend
Money to Japan.

NEW YORK, March 27.-Japan's
new $3.50, 900, 600 loan probably will be
offered in this city on Wednesday. The
underwriting syndicate, which has now
been completed. will rank as the larg-
est which has ever secured the flota-
tion of foreign loan in the United
States. There are altogether 800
members, representing prominent
financial interests of New FORK, Chi
cago and other large cities.
A remarkable incident was the re-
ceipt of applications here from French
applicants. The amount of French
subscriptions to the American portion
of the loan received to-day could not
be definitely learned, but the bankers
united in saying that they were heavy.
No subscriptions had been awaited
from that quarter.
The life insurance companies will
take one-f1fth of the New York portion
of the issue, or 100000.
