yers so deeply or delighted them more.
The address is one which is bound to
attract the attention OF the country at
large, as it is at once powerful, vigor-
Gus and eloquent dissent against the
present tendency TO centralize all power
at Washington aud to put upon Con-
gross the duty of correcting all evils.

individuality and sense of responsibility
among the citizenship. Justice Brew
er's subject was 1.-TWO Periods in the
History of the Supreme Court" the
FIRST, the period of national stability
the second, the period subsequent to
the war, which he termed the period
OF national enlargement. He did not
mean to say that these periods were
created solely by judicial action indie
pendently OF the other branches of the
government, for, after all, he said, in
the last analysis "the court largely re.
aects the popular judgment, not its
hasty opinion, but that which is the
result of deliberate and well considered
thought" Justice Brewer cited many
cases decided by the Supreme Court, il.
Illustrating the tendency from the foun-
dation ofthe government to the outbreak
of the war TO interpret the Constitution
in a nanner TO extend its scope and in
crease the solidarity of the national
government.
The president announced the m ember-
ship Of the standing committees, elected

pose, and then the report of the execu-

Murderer Hanged.

Morristown, N. j.. Aug. IO.--In the
Morris county Jail here today Samuel
Monies, Slav, was hsrged for the
murder of Mrs. Harriet Decker. The
execution WAS featureless. Monies had
been employed in the Capsiick Mills, at
Montyille, and, although he bad wife
and family in Hungary, he became iu-
fatuated with Mrs. Decker. The couple
quarreed over another mans attentions
to the woman, and in fit of jealous
rage Monies shot and killed her. For
the past two months Monies had refused
to take any solid food and il was ueces-
sary for the prison officials to force milk
and whisky down his throat in order to
keep him from carrying out his svo.ed
intention of starving himself to death.
Monies showed utter indifference to the
death penalty and marched to the gall
lows supported by two deputies being
unable in his weak condition to walk
and ascend the steps alone.

FRIDAY EVENING. AUG. 10, 1906.

Is DIPLOMATIC circles the opinion
prevails that upon the present showing
of facts the United States may be liable
flr an indemnity to japan should the
Asiatic power demand payment tor the
killing of five of her subjects while en-
gagged in a seal raid OH St. Paul Island,
of the Pribylot group. 1t is pointed
out that, 80 far as the report from st.
Paul Island shows, the case was one OF
trespass. There is nothing to indicate
that the japanese offered resistance, or,
in fact, that they had been warned to
keep away. Should it develop that the
raiders refused to obey the orders OF the
guards to leave American waters and
cease the killing of seals, aud that they
showed fight, the entire aspect OF the
case from the United States standpoint
would be changed. As now appears,
the japanese trespassed and we're shot
aud killed. Even though they were COM
hitting an offense against American law,
ia the opinion of high authority on
international law, the American guards
had no right to kill them unless they re-
sisted. The situation at best is regard
ed az a delicate one.

IT IS alleged in London that a small
party of American colored preachers who
have been abetting the Ethiopian cam
paign for "Africa for the Africans"
should be deported from South Africa.
The agitation against the preachers has
been revived by the recent rioting at
Cape Town, for which certain London
papers hold them partly responsible.
They have made no secret of their mission
to South Africa advising the natives TO use
their efforts to secure black supremacy in
that part OF the world. 1t has been
charged by some that most of the recent
turmOils in China have been superin-
duced by foreigners who are attached to
missions. 1t is alleged that instead OF
preaching the gospel some of them in
tereat themselves in the internal affairs
of the country and by espousing the
cause of one faction or another get them
selves and the countries from which they
hail in trouble.

Bucharest, Roumania, Aug. 10 The
Greeks in the Balkans have suffered inn
mensely az the result of the troubles
originating in the contest between Greece

store for the Greeks, however, aud a
movement is now In progress looking to
the entire boycott of Greek trade in
punishment of the prosecution Of Bull.
garians The latest development of the
struggle between the two countries has
been the expulsion by Roumania OF
fifty-seven well-known Greeks. The
damage to Greek trade through the Bull

at 1000, 900 francs II the boycott
movement, which is gaining strength

creased. While the Greeks have thus
suffered severely from financial stand
point, they also have been made victims
of numerous atrocities. Reports re.
ceived from nearly every town in the
region tell of Bulgarian outbreaks against
Greeks in which many of the latter have
been killed or injured.
