of Constitution Is Permanent.

Prince Petrocokino. OF Greece who is at the
Waldorf-Astoria with party Englishmen 10

opinion that the constitution granted by the Sui

would stand any pressure. He also said that the
granting of the advanced form of government by
the Porte great disappointment the small
Kingdoms to the north and south of the Turkish
empire. which had hoped that dissensons would
enable them to get big slices of Macedonia
The Young Turks responsible for the grant
ing of the constitution by the Sultan declared
the Prince. They led by who were ed
ucated in the great European universities and have
thoroughly mbibed the spirit of representative gov
ernment. The Sultan frightened into giving
in their demands Up to the time of the accu-
mutation of strength by this advanced party in
Turkey Greece. Bulgaria and Rumania were pre-
pairing to get slice of Macedonia Each was pre-

THOSE who know the conditions in the empire re-

the country.
Prince Petrocokno said that he called to see the
Sultan several years ago. but got further than

of subterfuges and when. through an Intermediary.

before the Sultan three months had elapsed The
business which of a private nature, could

Tondon Aug s.-The Constitution Congress-

exhibition discussing safeguards for the various
constitutions TO provide for maintaining personal
liberty and personal responsibility, closed to-day
With a debate on the Constitution Of the United
States
In the course of the discussion Professor Albert
Venn DIcey Of oxford, referred 10 what he de-
scribed as q melancholy paradox He said that
while the United States started with an advantage
unknown in any other country-with a constitu-
ton designed with more care, more skill and more
success than almost any other constitution deiber-
ately designed by man-yet the candid American
citizen would say that the whole they were
little better governed than the best European
states while the candid European critic would put
It that the United States not much worse gov
erned than the best states OF Europe. That was
paradox. he said, OF a country filled with
noble people who governed in way that
would not for a moment be tolerated in Paris.

Professor Dicey expressed admiration for the Su-
preme Court, which he said 'one of the most
successful institutions but doubted whether
the balance power existing in the United States
could exist in any European country.

Leading Corean Tells an Toxic of

correspondence of The Associated Press.


Toxic July 20.-Kim Yunsik president OF the
Privy Council in Seoul who arrived in Japan with
Ito, is quoted by Toxic papers saying that
object of his visit is observe the progress of
the prince imperaIs studies and at the time
to make himself acquainted with Japan's condition
and development.
He expresses himself in very courteous and COM
plimentary about this country and doIngs
in Corea but he disavows all intention OF fattering
and he justifes this claim to candor by speaking
very frankly about the insurrectlon. He has little
hope that it will be speedily quelled- Its main
causes, according TO his view, the sudden dis
banding of the Corean army and the abdicatIon of
the Emperor. Many OF the disbanded soldiers re-
tanned possession OF their arms when they fed from
Seoul, and they thus formed the nucleus for a dam
gerousF body CT malcontents.
He is further quoted saying that while il would
be distinctly advantageous for the Corean sovereign
visit Japan to be able to at first hand
evidonces of material progress and modern civiiza
tion there yet possibility OF saying
initey when the visit would be made. As for the
ex-Emperor, he is living entirely retired from
the world, and he takes part whatever in admin
isrative affairs so that little would be gained by
his visiting Japan. II appears from his assertions
that the ex-Emperor has been suffering from
indigestion caused by the state of his teeth. and
is now under the of DIR. Koike. The ex-Em-
peror is also laid up with swelling on his foot

TARIFFS AND TRUSTS.
Liberals Likely to Use Haangues Of
americans an Elections.
Especial by French Gable to The Tribune
ICnnYright 1905 hX The Tribune Association

London, Aug S.-A group of Americans has
been providing ammunition during the week
for the free trade government. Franklin
Pierce, Professor Sumner. l. P. Enrich, Louis
F. Post and Herbert Miles at the Free Trade
Congress have discussed American tariffs and
the trusts with more energy than discretion
Passages from the most violent harangues are
appearing already in black type in the Liberal
press and will probably be reproduced on cleo
ton posters and in canvassers addresses when
the government appeals to the country against
tariff reform
The Liberal ministry. after barring the door
against the Colonial premiers, has solicited the
moral support OF foreign doctrinaires who have
failed to influence and direct the fiscal policies
of their countries. T. A. Hobson displayed
his contempt for this enlistment of foreigners
for political service in England by warning the
congress that the fortress of free trade must be
defended on more modern lines, that combina-
tions which left the competitor and the con-
helpless must be regulated in England,
and that new and effective methods of financing
social reforms must be found.
Even while Mr.. Pierce was exploiting the evils
OF American trusts and blackening his own
country with abuse and exaggeration, another
great railway amalgamation announced in
England and the truth emphasize that COM
bnations were not confined to tariff nations but
fiourished under free trade and needed to lie
brought under public control. The largest
measure yet suggested by the English tariff re-
formers is 10 per cent manufactured goods.
That would be accounted close approach to
free trade in the countries represented by the
foreign faddists who have been warning Eng
land against the iniquities of tariff corruption.
Meanwhile, every by-eection shows unrnis-
taxable trend toward tariff reform. The Free
Trade Congress closes to-day with pilgrimage

daughter Mrs Fisher Unwin, is hostess in her
