No Provliilon Mnde tty the Pi'Mineri (or the Alleviation of the Philippines Even It Drin Wanted to Aid Asnlnaldo. "There is no power under the law or the constitution by which congress or the president can dissever the Piiil-inpine islands from this nation. Con gress cannot give them away, sell them to a foreign power or set up an independent government on these Is lands, as Mr. Bryan proposes to do. have not seen this point raised yet by anyone, but Mr.

Bryan, as a law yer, ought to know the constitution of his country, and there is no author ity I anywhere in the constitution where an acre of our country can be dissevered from the jurisdiction of the United States. Such a thing never has been done, and it would take an amendment to our constitution to do what Mr. Bryan proposes. 'This is my opinion as a lawyer and I will put it against Mr. Bryan's or any other lawyer.

This is a matter never yet passed upon by the supreme court, and depends wholly on the con struction of section 3, article 4, of the constitution, which says: The congress shall have power to dispose of and make all needful rules and regula tions respecting the territory Or other property belonging to the United 1 contend that this section does not give congress any authority to part with the jurisdiction of a single acre of our national territory. Con gress has no right to sell or give away or convey a single acre to a foreign power, nor to set up an independent government on any acre of the public domain. This gives only general authority over our territory to dispose of them by dividing and naming them, surveying them, selling them to Bet- tiers, providing for lscal government and the enforcement of the laws, the protection of timber, locating of town sites, admitting them as states and exercising pll acts of ownership and control and national jurisdiction, but absolutely no authority to part with national ownership and jurisdiction. It may exercise all acts of ownership, but cannot part with that ownership. "Space will not justify an extended brief on this question, but I will put my opinion as a lawyer that our supreme court will so construe That congress has no right to dissolve his union, or part with the jurisdiction of any part of our territory when once acquired.

Successful revolution only can accomplish it. "This is not an imperial government, though Mr. Bryan's ideas would make it so. Imperial governments dispose of their territory in that way when they pleaserbut the territory of this country is held by and for the people. and jurisdiction once vested 'n our nation must forever reinnin until our constitution is amended, giving some nuthority for the dissolution of its territory.

"Every patriotic democrat should support McKinley in preference to Bryun. First, because every issue is virtually settled, and settled by the republicans on old democratic principles. The tariff and the money standards are not fundamental questions, but questions of policy, and the gold standard will likely stand the test of experience, and is, therefore, permanently settled. All parties now agree on a tariff sufficient to pay the expenses of government, laid lightest on necessities, and in such a way as to give the best protection to our own products and commerce. The only real question between the two parties is the fundamental one of expansion or anti-expansion.

And on this the re publicans srand on the old democratic principles of JefFersonian expansion. Second, because McKinley has made the best president since Washington and Lincoln, and that under the most trying complications and difficulties, and shown himself a careful and able statesman. Third, because Bryan has proved himself to be a Belflsh politl- cian, using his oratorical gifts at $500 an hour or the gate receipts, and acting the part of a walking delegate of the lnbor trust in appealing to the rest- lesB, idle and dissatisfied elements, and flattering the worklngmen and plain people which is inconsistent with true dignity and statesmanship. Fourth because his position on the Philippine question is inconsistent, unstatesman like and undemocratic. Fifth, because he Is more of a populist than a democrat, and by the populist platform is bound to support the "initiative and referendum" and otherwise revolutionize our government.

Sixth, because he represents such a conglomerate mass of discordant democrats, populists. greenbackers and extreme elements that he is not strong enough, and no man is strong enough, to control them and if elected his administration would produce endless wrangling and discord and be worse even than Cleveland's last term.

The company offitaiials a'uitiui pu'tie that the government, will nut vest coret'onit wjw the present order, but that every nian-of- war will in time be fitted with the system. They point out that the efficiency of a cruiser woukl' be doubled by this means, since, instead of being aware -of events in progress at a of twenty miles only, the officers by the employment of Marconi's apparatus would be kept in touch with their friends sixty miles away. This would be a very distinct gain in the scoutirmg operation's for which vessels of this dial's aire primarily destined in time of wwr. and it is one, moreover wliton appears to have already secured recognition from most European governments. After the naval maneuvers, Mar-eo-ni's system of wireless telegraphy! If the recent operations of our fleet have had no other result, they will at least have given us the best, and apparently the only, available system of communiica.bion without wires.

Mr, Marconi and his ompamy are naturally jubilant ait the decision of ths admirably, and a chat which one of out representatives had recently with Mr. H. VV. Allen, the secretary the Wireless Telegraphy Company, was both imiterest'ing amd instructive. After a f.Vdomabie expression of pride at the 41, Evotnm fin Tll-irtish war vessels, ilr.

Allen Intimated that there ntr was any real rivalry be-tween Marconii and Jackson, for th eimple reason that they were very good friends, and Captain Jackson was merely trying experiments wilh Miarcomi's invention. The admiralty, course, encouraged Captain Jackson, but there was no chance of doing anything without infringing the patent. "Lota of people have aiKeir.pted to vary our methods," added Mr. Allen, "and hare allied, in fact, you cannot have wireless telegraphy without in-teifenlng with our rights. Directly you adopt a vertical and an earth ware you infringe on the Marconi system; you cannot get on without.

Nobody ever though about wireless telegraphy till Miarconi took it up. There had been expreiments with electrical oraitory it was nut known how far they could be received. At first the longest distance was forty yards, but soon Manconti expended it to two or three miles, and was then able to transmit actual words. After this things rapidly developed, until 'now we can send a wiirel'ess message eighty-six miles. Three yeiaips ago the.

gindaltest was nine miles, but now we hope to double miles in a very short time. It is obviously a great advantage for ships to be able to communicatee iwith one another eighty-six niilea apart, but. it must be of sUll premier use to extend the distance to 150 miles. The limit of possibility in this direction is as unknown as discoveries to other branch of electrical science. admiralty seems to be on the right lines alt leiadt," continued Mr.

Allen. "Our system cannot be beaten in any part of the world. The Italian nay Jong tago adopted wireless on all their worships, 'and they aUo have land installation for communication between the forta around large ci ties." "What exactly have our admiralty done?" "They have ordered our installation on thirty -two Brinish ships, not. twenty-five, as reported. The official test fajok place yesterday.

Each apparatus hlas to be tried between Portsmouth and Portland, a distance of about sixty-live miles, and this is severe test in consequence of the intervening hills of St. Alman's head. There is also iralk about fixing the system on certain land stations for communication with warships. I see d't has been stated that Mr. Marconi get a royalty of 100 for each soS, but the money, of course, goes to the company.

This applies to a period of fourteen years, not fifteen years." "How will the cost work out?" "Pnacticallly the expense will be comparatively little, as the admiralty's own men will do most of the work the instruments have only to be placed ia poaimion and the wire connected. The actual cost of the lntruments itf about 200 each, induction coil be-ining the principal Item." "What about other navies?" "I belive the French navy has been expermenting with our system, and the Germans have been making tests on men-of-war iand Atlantic Jiners. They have found It of great use between Porkum lighthouse and the itugs go Ito the lightship for -about the vessels they want for Bremen is one of them there. "They save themselves many miles by awaiU ing instructions in this way. We have communications from this source, and the comical thing da that have to pay the government fee for messages over our system.

From the lightship or lighthouse the tele-grains come over the ordinary land wires. The Germans are very go-ahead in this respect. The ISusslan navy has been expermemting with the Popoff system."

An 8-year-old boy, floating on a raft picked up a box containing two children, who later proved to be his sisters. Galveston bay must have been the vortex of the gale.

Its rotary motion drove shipping shore in opposite directions. The body of a young man was found lodged ia the forks of a "tree two miles from his wrecked home with $200 tightly clasped in his right hand. Two women in a wooden bathtub were swept iuilo the ulf by the receding wines and weie rescued alive after twelve hours in the raging sea. A boy of twelve years old, one of a family of five, clung to a trunk when the flood came and was carried across the bay, a distance of twenty-two miles. A man and wife sought safety in tlhree successive houses, each of which was demolished.

Thsy eventually saved themselves by citnibing on a floating door. Only one steamer in Galveston bay successfully rode the siiorin and remained in ins element. The others are on the mainland, one of them slxmiles inland from t.hebay. The wife of i telegraph operator an her three young children returned from her father's house to her own during the storm, caTried them to the garret and escaped' hurra.

A pullman employe who has reached Kansas City from Gaiveston was one of a group of eight, six of one family, who dined together the day before the storm. Two of the eight escaped. The Pullman employe owes his life to a log and a roof cistern.

The strangest freak of pood fortune was the lot of the Stubbs family foither, mother and two children. They were on a floating roof when it broke in three pieces. The father and one child went one way. the mother another and the remaining child in a third direction. All were saved and reunited.

The area of China is about 5,000,000 square miles. China has from 3.ri0,000.000 to 000,000 inhabitants. A larger proportion than any other nation, about one-fourth of the huma.n race. China has 1.400 c.ith'S with a united population of over 100.000.000. There are 30.000.00(1 Mohammedans In the Western provinces of China.

China has a consorate of eigthymen employed to keep watch of the officers of government at the capital and in the provinces, aind report directly 'any negligence or calamity to the Emperor. They are taken from the highest literary rank. The rulers of the present "Great Pure Dynasty" ore not Chinese, but Manchus, a tribe of lartars. When the dynasty conquered China, in A. D.

1644, the Chinese were required to shave their heads and wear queus din conformity to the Tartar custom. The conception of 'lenrning held by the Chinese until recently, consisted of the itetachings ot Confucius, the theory of government and Chinese poetry and history. The curriculum, arranged two thousand years ago, is practically undergoing its first change. The Augustan period of Chinese -i't erature is from 100 to 600 A. D.

AJi statesmen ore supposed to be poets. All poems are short, the favor ite length, four lines. Many Chinese inventions, such as the compass, paper, printing, gunpow der, and porcelain were used in China ages before they were reproduced an Europe. There are two thousand canals in China the largest twice the length of the Erie. The great wall of China was built 220 B.

and extends 4.500 miles. China has had fifty rebellions in 000 years, while locat rebellions are annual events. The first railroad im China, a line of thiTteen m'iiles, was opened in Shang hai in 1876. The origin of the cruel custom of is unknown. Chinese small feet of two or 'three inches are called golden lilies.
