QUIET INQUIRY IN PROGRESS.
Responsibility for Giving Out the
sSwettenham-Davis Correspondence.

, quiet investigation. is now under way
to ascertain who is responsible for the pub
lication in the newspapers of the corre-
spondence between Rear Admiral Davis of
the United States navy and Governor Cen
eral Swettenham of Jamaica before its re-
ceipt by either the Washington or London
authorities. Although nobody in particular
is blamed for the alleged premature publ
cation, it is admitted that the authorities
have been somewhat embarrassed in their
correspondence in regard to the withdrawal
of the United States fleet from Kingston by
the absence of the official reports of the
two officers concerned.
Rear Admiral Davis arriy I'd at Guantana-
mo Sunday, and his report OIL the events
leading up to his departure from Kingston
was mailed to the Navy Department at
Washington. 1t probably went by rail to
Havana and from there by water to Tampa
or New York. 1t is expected to reach this
city tomorrow or Saturday.
There is no reason to doubt the accuracy
of the press reports of his correspondence
with Gov. Swettenham, but nevertheless the
authorities here would prefer to have the
official documents before passing final judg-
ment on the merits OF the controversy.
The representatives OF the press accom-
panied Admiral Davis fon his Serrand of
mercy to Kingston. and the impression

UNIVERSAL TRANSFERS.
Nj. Madden Finds a Section Provid-
ing for Them -

Representative Madden of Illinois, who
recently introduced a bill providing for
universal transfers in the District was
rather startled toby when his attention
was called to section three of the act of
May %. 1896, amending the charter of the
Capital Railway Company The section in
question provides that the Capital Rail-
way Company, the Met: @politan' Railway
Company and the Capital Traction Com
pany are hereby required to issue free
transfer at the point of intersection of their
respective lines SO that for the payment
of one fare a passenger on either road shall
have the privilege of riding over the line of
both a. $50 e.
Mr.. Madden said that he would look into
the matter Immediately, ard he seemed
rather chagrined that, although he had in
terested himself in the local street car prop
osition. he had not managed to find that
particular section. In fact, it was imposs-
BILE to find any enc around the Capitol who
had ever-so far as any remembrance was
-concerned-heard of this particular pro-
vision. -
1t is probable that resolu ion will be in
troduced in the next few days calling upon
the Commissioners. to explain why this pro-
vision has not been enforced.

stitution- Is never invoked against legis-

ing interests! Why is the Constitution made
to appear SO mysterious and hard to I'M
derstard? 1t is not SO. in fact; it was
made for the guidance of nation of COM
mon men and women, and was adopted by
just such men and women at the polls, as
Chief Justice Marshall pointed out.
THE Constitution is our Ordinance of
national life, as that greatest of judges
called it; the charter of our nationality
as Justice Story called it. 1t was not writ
ten to shackle human progress, but to give
human progress free play. The Constitu-
ton was made for the people-not the peo-
pie for the Constitution. And the pur-
pose of this republic Is to make better hui
man beings; 1t has no other reason for ex-
istencc And to save human beings from
ruin is the purpose and effect of this BILL"

that the results Of this evil are inhu-

The states acting separately are not COM

Some of the ablest and purest men and
women of the republic, who have given
years Of time and study to this question,
have come to this final conclusion-that
only national remedy can stop this ma
tional evil"
measure, Mr.. Beveridge said:
THE bill Is constitutional. 1t prohibits
the transportation in interstate commerce
o. the products of child labor. The power
of Congress over interstate commerce Is
absolute 1t involves the power to prohib-
it the transportation of any article which
in the opinion of Congress ought to be pro-
hibited. This is no longer open to argu-
ment. 1t has been expressly settled by
direct decisions of the Sureme Court Those
who raise the familiar cry of 'unconstitu-
tonality' must attack the decisions of the
Supreme Court.
Senator Beveridge here quoted at great
length from great many decisions of the
Supreme Court to show the absolute power
of Congress to prohibit the transportation
of any article whatever: and that what
Congress should prohibit Is purely matter
of policy.
80 the absolute power of Congress to
prohibit the transportation of anything by
Interstate carriers is established. The Con-
stituton. as the Supreme Court has con-
strued it, gives this power. Congress alone
settles the policy. With the policy involved
in any proposed measure the courts have
nothing to do: they deal only with the
power Accordingly Congress. recognizing
Its power of prohibition, has frequently ex-
ercised it,"
