SUPREME COURT SEPARATES
Decision on the Insular Cases Will Be
Handed Down on Monday—Every
Judge Has a Separate Opinion,
But All Agree That the
Islanders Are Not Prop

Citizens.
(By Associated Press.)
Chicago, May 24.—A special to the
Record-Herald from Washington, says:
The decision of the supreme court of
the United States is that the constitu
tion does not follow the flag.
This decision will be handed down next
Monday. The decision is In favor of the
government, but by a divided bench.
There will be at least five opinions, but
some of these are concurring opinions ex
pressing the views of the writers more
fully and faithfully than is done in the
opinion of the majority.
The court goes back to the period In
which the republic was formed and the
constitution framed and endeavors to as
certain what was the intent of the found
ers of the nation.
The opinion of the majority of the
opurt disposes of the uniform taxation
clause of the constitution which has been
invoked by all the appellants in these
cases in the following manner.

ALARMED OVER OUR SUCCESS
Petty Jealousies Will Be Swallowed Up
in the General Fear of American
Commercial Domination—We Must
Arrange a Truce or Have a Fight
With Whole World.
(By Associated Press.)
New York, May 24.— Générai 'Manager
Gustave H. Schwab of the North Ger
man-Lloyd Steamship company In
America, who has been in Europe for
the last two and a half months and who
returned home on the Kaiser Wilhelm
der Grosse, in an interview upon busi
ness conditions in Europe, said:
"While in Europe, especially in Ger
many and England, I saw that the busi
ness men there were much disturbed
ever the increasing competition from
this side and seemed to fear the increase
in power of industrial combinations.
The alarm is so great that I am certain
that some scheme of self protection on
the part of the governments affected will
undoubtedly be perfected.
"Of course there are great difficulties
to bet met in forming an industrial and
commercial combination against the
United tSates, but there is every reason
to believe that efforts—efforts that may
have serious consequences to the trade
of this country—will be made.
Concede Something or Fight.
"I heard similar talk in Germany,
which resulted in my becoming firmly
convinced that commercial peace be
tween this country and European na
tions imperatively calls for a certain
concession on our part, without effecting
our own Industries.
'Unless we do make some kind of con
cession, Europe will, as sure as fate,
put some kind of a restraint duty on
American products."
Referring to the reported steamship
combination effected by J. Pierpont
Morgan, Mr. Schwab said:
"The British public is giving a lot of
concern but to the average steamship
man who understands the situation, it
dees not se.>m to be nearly so dangerous
as some people think. As an American,
speaking as the agent of German trans
Atlantic lines, I do not think the report
ed amalgamation will effect the con
tinental lines. Germany will certainly
keep abreast of the times.

Court Is Made.
writing that clause had no thought of
its application to territorial possessions.
No such question as is now presented
had arisen in their minds. The clause
"all duties, imposts and excises shall be
uniform throughout the United States,"
the court holds, was placed in the con
stitution as a result of the Jealousies of
the states whjch united n forming the
nation. It was intended to prevent any
state or combination of states securing
-advantage over another or others; to pre
vent the ports of one state gaining pre
ference over those of another in the Im
portation of goods.
This rule of uniformity was made pri
marily for the states united, the court
holds, not for territories then possessed
or afterwards acquired, and the consti
tutional requirement is satisfied as long
as all duties on imports are uniformly
imposed at all the ports throughout the
United States.
The advantage of this uniformity may
be extended to territories and possession
not states and not members of the Amer-,
ican union, but that is for congress to
determine under the authority of the
constitution.
GATES GOES FOR PLEASURE
His Visit to England Is Not for Busi

Trust Shares.
(By Associated Press.)
New York, May 24.—A dispatch to the
Journal and Advertiser from London,
says:
John W. Gates, interviewed upon hi;
arrival here, said:
"My visit to England Is simply one of
recreation and has no connection with
business. I have no desire to do any
thing for steel trust shares. It is quite
certain, however, that these shares will
rapidly advance within a short time.
"Firms forming the combination have
been making twenty-four million pounds
annually. Taking as a basis their earn
ings for a period of years a dividend of
seven per cent is assured. The preferred
shares of the trust I regard as one of the
best investments that could be made.
They are shares which will be put away
in boxes as securities as they are on a
perfectly sound base annd the right men
have control of the corporation.
"Regarding railroad matters I think
both Atchison and Union Pacifies are
certain to advance in value.
"The country is experiencing an era of
great prosperity. The new find of oil
in Texas Is a highly promising one and
will add to the national resources. The
chief flow of oil is at Port Arthur, Tex
as. I think the Standard Oil company
will eventually acquire a holding there."

HEATED DEBATE IN PRESBYTERIAN AS
SEMBLY OVER PROPOSED CHANGES
IN THE CREED.
(By Associated Press.)
Philadelphia, May 24.—The debate on
creed revision was continued by the
Presbyterian general assembly today,
and Cavalry church was unable to con
tain the throngs that came to 'hear the
discussion.
Moderator Mlnto said he had found
the sentiment of the assembly in favor
of a full and fair presentation of the
question, but suggested that the com
missioners endeavor as far as possible
to adhere to the rule of brevity, espe
cially as the great ground had been
staked out by the able speakers of yes
terday.
Rev. David S. Kennedy of Allegheny,
Pa., yielded the floor to Judge E. W. C.
Humphrey of Louisville, who signed the
minority report with Dr. McKibben.
Judge Humphrey urged the elimination
rom the committee's report of the
clause recommending a brief summary
of file reformed faith bearing the same
relation to the confession which the
shorter catcheism bears to the larger
catechism, and formed on the general
model of the concensus creed. He
claimed it meant practically a new creed
and should not be concurred in, as the
Presbyteries did not desire a new con
fession. Dr. Kennedy followed with a
forceful argument against revision. The
•way to break down the confession, final
ly, he said, is to go on making holes
In it. (fr
"We stand united on*the. confession,"
continued Dr. Kennedy. "It is construed
from beginning to end to be used for
scientific purposes. It is' the constitu
tion of our church organ. We are not
considering popular creed, but the fun

the church. No one forced us to sign
that confession. We did not sign it in
Ignorance, and I am sure not one of us
signed it dishonestly.
"I repudiate the statement that the
confession does not set forth the man
side and the personality of the Holy
Spirit."
This brought Rev. Dr. Herrick Johnson
to his feet.
"I beg your pardon," he said, "but if
you refer to me, I did not say that."
Dr. Kennedy replied that while he
might have misunderstood Dr. John
son's words, he had received that im
pression.
In conclusion, Dr. Kennedy said:
"Our plan is that now is not the time
for changes, while the church is under
fire. We are not living in a constitu
tion-making age. After a fair, deliber
ate and free discussion, we find ourselves
all' divided up. Let us wait until God,
in His providence, brings us to the time
when we can agree on the questions at
issue."
Rev. Dr. J. E. Moffatt of Cumberland,
Md., became eloquent in his appeal to
the assembly for confession that wou! 1
give a more even balance of truth.
'.The confession," he said, "is a man
made constitution, tout is not the word
of Goa. And we are not discussing the
word of God. If this question is voted
down .by this assembly it will come to
the front again until we give the church
what It demands. I want to see side by
side two great truths—first, the sover.

of men; and, second, the freedom of

elected all infants to salvation."

The earnest desire of the president and
Mrs. McKinley is to return to the white
house as soon as possible. The trip will
not be made, however, on rapid time,
but in rather a leisurely fashion, in or

The Alaskan Boundary Is Interest

Must Soon Be Settled.
(By Associated Press.)
Ottawa, Ontario, May 24.—The leader
of the opposition in the house last even
ing asked for information respecting
the announcement that the Joint high
commission was shortly to resume its
sittings. Sir Wilfred Laurier said he
had reason to believe the sittings would
be resumed. It was desirable to bring
matters to an Issue of some kind.
He said the Alaskan boundary had
not been eliminated, but was in the very
forefront of the negotiations. In jus
tice to Canada and in justice to New
foundland it was necessary that the
commission should resume. If the sit
tings failed, Canada would have to con
sider the question of revising Us rela
tions wjth Newfoundland.
He also said it was important for all
concerned that the Alaskan boundary
should be definitely settled. If the com
mission failed to reach a settlement,
and the American and the Cunadian
contentions were so far apart that the
premier did not see any assurance that
a settlement would be reached, and if
a fair compromise could not be arrived
at, then there must be arbitration.
Fish Bait Privileges Valuable.
The objection to the Bond-Blaine
treaty, which is causing considerable
discussion by Canada, is that it gives
to the United States fishing vessels the
privilege of entering the waters of New
foundland and purchasing bait at all
times and on the same terms as New
foundland vessels.
In return, the United States gives free
admission to Newfoundland fish. This
will prove, 50 it is said, disastrous to
Canadian fishing.
It appears from (tie announcement of
the deputy governor of Newfoundland
that the government will Introduce im
portant railway legislation during the
session. A revision of the tariff is prom
ised. and a vote of $10,000 will he asked

London. May 24.—Sir Alfred Milner has
arrived in England from South Africa
and the country is going through the
novel experience of seeiing a colonial
governor exploited in connection with a
much disputed act of ministerial policy.
Mr. Chamberlain has spared neither time
nor trouble in organizing a greeting for
the high commissioner and he has so far
succeeded as to induce an acknowledge
ment of the cabinet ministers to the un
usual course of going to Southampton to
welcome the home coming executive.
Mr. Chamberlain is also to give an os
tentatious luncheon to Sir Alfred Milner,
to which, however, a number of leading
liberals have declined invitations. The
visit has been trumpeted through the
ministerial organs as a fitting occasion
for a great popular demonstration in sup
port of the Chamberlain-Milner war pol
icy, but public enthusiasm is lacking.
Sir Alfred, when he arrived at South
ampton today, was formally welcomed by
the mayor and corporation. In a brief
reply the high commissioner said he had
been greatly benefltted by the voyage. He
had come home for rest and not to make
speeches. When Sir Alfred arrived in
London an unusually distinguished crowd
greeted him on the platform. The first
to seize his hand was Lord Salisbury,who
formally welcomed him. Then, in quick
succession, came Mr. Chamberlain, Lord
Roberts, A. J. Balfour, Lord Halsbury,
Mr. Broderick, Lord Cranborn and other
cabinet ministers and half a hundred
dukes and earls and other personal
friends of lower degree pressed forward
to shake the high comniissioner"s hands
All remarked how well Sir Alfred was
looking. He chatted with Lord Salis
bury and Mr. Chamberlain and then went
out of the station. A fair sized crowd
cheered him heartily. Sir Alfred left the
railroad station in a carriage and went
to see the king..
King Edward has elevated Sir Alfred
Milner to the peerage.
