4,800 Indians. The Japanese needed
95,000 men and 115,000 coolies, and to-
day we find 90 men-of-war and al-
most 150,000 men attempting to com-

In the Hawailan legislature the na-

calls itself the "Home Rule party," is
in control. Its leaders were opposed to

not abandoned the hope of the recall

speak English, and few of them are
~famillar with American institutions.
They make unreasonable demands

Many radical measures have been in-
troduced, but the only bill enacted
during the first half of the session was
one appropriating money for the ex-
pense of the legislature. Altogether, it
is a disappointing beginning; but legl~
latlve vagaries will be held in check by
the executive, and gradually experi-
ence and growth of intelligence will

A London scientist is exploring the
"'color cure" or "chromopathy," bas~l
on the influence on disease or morbid
states of the system which different
kinds of light waves are presumed to
~exert. The modus operandi Is to allow
dight to pass to the patient through
~glasses of different tints. Disease, says
• the discoverer, "shows a want of har-
~mony in the systemwin other words,
~a want of color." The main doctrine
propounded under the system is that
red is a stimulant tint, and should be
used where there is lack of vitality,
while blue exerts a soothing and seda-
tive action. Yellow is "a capital eere-
,bral stimulant." But the color curista
, are no~ content with the action of light
°alone. They think that colored rays
~tllowed to play on water endow that
fluid with curative proparties, the wa-
,tar being used externally or for inter-
hal administration.

The Supreme Court Decision.
The most Important decision ren-
dered by the Supreme Court since re-
construction days, at least, was hand-
ed down last week. I~ fixes the status
of our new possessions absolutely, and
puts an end to all ,doubt as to the
power of Congress to deal "with them
as it sees fit.
The important case--that which in-
volved directly ~he legality of the
Porto Risen tarlff--was the Downes
case; and the decision m this case UP"
holds as strongly as words can be
made to do it the contention of the gov-
ernment that Congress has the power
to deal in any way it may see fit with
acqmred possessions. On this point
Justice Brown said:
"The practical interpretation put by
Congress upon the constitution has
been long continued and uniform to
the effect that the constitution is ap-
plicable to territories acquired by pur-
chase or conquest only when and so
far as Congress shall so direct. Not-
withstanding its duty to 'guarantee to
every state in this union a Republican
form of government' Congress did not
hesitate in the original organization of
the territory and its sub-divisions of
Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois and
Wisconsin, and still more recently in
the case of Alaska, to establish a form
of government bearing a much greater
analogy to a British crown policy than
a republican state of America, and to
vest the legislative power in a gov-
ernor and, council, or a go~ernor and
Judges to be appointed by the Presi.
dent.
"We are also of the opinion that
power ¢o acquire territory by treaty
implies not only the power to govern
such territory, but to prescribe upon
what terms the United States will re-
ceive its inhabitants and what their
status shall be in what Chief Justice
Marshall termed the 'American em-
pire.'"
Justice White, in his concurring
opinion, put the opinion of the court
even more strongly, if possible. He
said:
"I¢ is then as I think, indubitably
settled by the principles of the law of
nations, by the nature of the govern-
ment created under the constitution by
the express and Implied powers con-
farted upon that government by tile
constitution, by the mode in which
those powers have been executed from
the beginning, and by an unbroken line
of decisions of this court first an-
nounced by Marshall and followed and
lucidly expounded by Taney, that the
treaty-maklng power cannot incorpor-
ate territory into the United States
~without the expressed and implied as-
sent of Congress, that it may assert
in a treaty conditions against imme-
diate incorporation. It must follow,
therefore, that where a treaty contains
no conditions for incorporation, and,
above all, where it not only has no
such conditions 15ut expressly provides
to the contrary, incorporation does not
arise until in the wisdom of Congress
it is deemed that the acquired terri-
tory has reached that state where it
is proper it should enter into and
form a part of the American family."
Justice Gray, who also delivered a
concurring opinion in this case,
clinched the matter as follows:
"The civil government of the United
States cannot extend immediately,
and of its own force, over territory ac-
quired by war. Such territory must
necessarily, in the first instance, be
governed by the military power under
the control of the President as com-
mander-in-chief. Civil government
cannot take effect as soon as posses-
sion is acquired under military author-
ity or emm as soon as that possession
Is confirmed by treaty. It can be put
in operation only by the action of the
appropriate political department of
the goverflment at such time and In
such degree as that department may
determine. There must of necessity
be a transition period.
"So long as Congress has not incor-
porated the territory into the United
States, neither military occupation nor
cession by treaty makes the conquered
territory domestic territory in the
sense of revenue laws. But those laws
concerning 'foreig~ c~mntries' remain
applicable to the conquered territory
until changed by Congress. Such was
the unanimous opinion of this court,
as declared by Chief Justice Tansy in
Felming vs. Page, page, 9 How.
"If Congress Is not ready to con-
struct a complete government of the
conquered territory it may establish
a temporary government which is not
subject to all the restrictions of the
constitution.
"Such was the effect of the act of
Congress of April 12, 1900, entitled, 'An
act temporarily to provide revenues
and a civil government for Porto Rico
and for other purposes.' This system
of duties temporarily establish'meal by
that act during the transition pe~lod
was within the authority Of Congress
under the eonstitutfon of the Uuited
States."
No less important than the decision
that Congress has the power to fix the
status of acquired territory in the dec.
laration of the court as to the rights
that are acquired by inhabitants of
such territory Immediately upon its
acquiremdnt, In regard to certain
rtgh~ and la-ivileges,, the constitution
does follow the flag. Said ~Iustlce
Rrown: . ; ! - d~
"Whatever may be finally declde~
by the American people as to the
status of these islands and their ino
habitants--whether they shall be intro-
dnced into the sisterhood of states or
be permitted to form independent gov-
ernments-it does not follow that in
the meantime, awaiting that decision
the people are In the matter of per-
sonal fights unprotected by the provis-
ions of our constitution and subject to
the m.erely arbitrary control of Con-
gress. Even if regarded as aliens, they
are entitled under the principles of the
constitution to be protected in life, lib-
erty and property."
The court thus carefully distin-
guishes between the universal rlghts
and privileges possessed by all of us
who are subjects of what Chief Jus-
tice Marshall called "the American
empire," and those rights and priv-
ileges which can only be acquired by
act of Congress. There may be an
American empire, but under our con-
stitution every citizen of that empire
is protected in his personal rights of
life, liberty and prol~rty, and real im-
perialism is impossible. This is a
point that has been made repeatedly
by the President in his recent
speeches. The constitution, he has
said, has always carried with it the
blessing of liberty, and it always will.
It will never be used to make subjects
or slaves of any people, but rather to
help them to greater liberty. On this
point the cour~ is clearly with the Pres-
ident.
The 'interpretation of the court is
now the supreme law of the land. All
good citizens are bound by it, and all
legislation henceforth will have to con-
form ¢o it. The decision is the most
important which the court has been
called upon to render since the recon-
struction days. It is broad and sweep-
ing and far-reaching, taking in all the
aspects of the whole question of the
relation of the United States and ac-
quiredterritory. It will enhance the
profound respect with which our Su-
preme Court has always been regard-
ed, and will command the attention of
the civilized world.
Polities in the South.
There was nothing especially signifi-
cant politically In the reception given
the President. He had equally ms cor-
dial a reception In Georgia nearly four
years ago, and southern communities
are prompt to evince a patriotic spirit
and are never neglectful of the laws of
hospitality. But the President's
speeches gave evidence of his sincere
desire to discard all sectional differ-
ences and the broad and wholesome
nationality of their tone was infectious
among his hearers. But the change of
political conditions in the South is Im-
minent because the basis of the old or-
der has passed away and it can not be
perpetuated on mere sentiment, preju-
dice and resentful memories.
Mr. Larry Gantt of Spa_~tanburg,
South Carolina. who has hitherto been
a supporter of Tlllman. declares boldly
that the South in general and southern
cotton mills in particular may look for
great practical benefits from the ac-
quisltion of the Philippine Islauds and
adds:" "It is high time that the intelli-
gent voters of the South were begin-
ning to think and reason for them-
selves, and not so blindly follow ~olitl-
clans and office seekers, whose love of
self and thirst for promotion greatly
overbalances devotion to his people
and his country. I am a Democrat to
the core, but I am a progressive, twen-
tieth-century Democrat, and not an old
political fossil that, when going to mill,
put a rock in one of the sack and corn
Ln the other, Just because my daddy al.
ways did that. The world don't stand
still, but moves forward. Every year
new Issues present themselves for our
solution. Parties, as welt as men, if
they do not desire to be left far behind
in the march of progress, must keep
pace with the times~'
There are many progressive south.
erners who think as Mr. Gantt thinks
and they will not longer suffer their
thoughts and actions to be "cribbed,
coffined and confined" for the sole pur-
pose of maintaining a party organiza-
tion that has lost its original purpose
md meaning.
President McKlnIey may have done
something toward hastening the dis-
ruption of the .solid South, but his
chief opponent in the last two presi-
dential campaigns has done much
more. Had the Democratic party pur-
sued the even tenor of its way on the
old lines the loyalty of the South to
that party would have remained un-
shaken, for a longer time at least, but
Bryan radicalism, coupled with Bryan
defeats, has been too trying a test for
the~ unquestioning continuance in sub-
servience to a party name of 10,000,000
people spread all the way from the
Potomac to the Rio Grande.
Division of sentiment in the South
is inevitable as the old issues that made
it solid recede into history and new
ones arise that strongly effect the
South's material interest. The preju-
dice against the name Repnblica~ may
long linger In thI~ ~mction. It has an
association with war and ~eepnstruc-
tlon that is ill-savored in the South.
But ~vision in ~entiment on public
questions is already /~t hand in the
South. It l~ manifest'everywhere and
that dlvi~flon will make Impossible the
eontluuance of political ~lldlt~..,,,-
Ne~hvflle ~.
WORK TO BE COMMENCED ON
THE GREAT GUNNISON TUNNEL
Denver, June 1.--Government Hy-
drographer A. L. Fellows has returned
from a visit to the site of the proposed
tunnel to be built from the Gunnison
river to irrigate lands in Delta and
Montrose counties. At Montrose he
met Government Topographer C. H.
Fltch and C. M. Hammond, John J.
Tobin and Frank E. Dodge, members
of the board of control of the tunnel
and the irrigation system.
Mr. Fitch is now in Salt Lake City,
but will return to Montrose late next
week to commence the topographical
survey. Mr. Fellows will do the en-
gineering. The preliminary survey
will be at the cost of the governn~ent.
The state has aplSropriated $25,000 for
preliminary work on the tunnel and
canal, but there is no fund yet availa-
ble for the purpose. After the govern-
ment makes its survey it will be the
duty of the beard of control to appoint
a superintendent of construction who
will receive $2,500 a year.
As much of the construction as pos-
sible will be done by convict labor
and the canal, when completed, will
be owned and operated by the state.
Mr. Fellows said yesterday..
"The preliminary survey to be made
by the government will take in the en-
tire section covering an area of forty-
eight square miles and it will take a
month or so to do (he work. From
the survey it will be possible to deter-
mine upon the best site for the tun-
nel and aqueduct, if an aqueduct has
to be built along the river way. Not
only the cost of construction but of
maintenance of the canal will be con-
sidered in fixing upon a location. The
preliminary survey will be followed
by a closer survey of the line select-
ed and a topographical survey of the
' Uncompahgre valley to determine the
~full benefits of the canal. Measure-
!ments of the water in the Gunnison
river will also be made in connection
with the surveys.
"When completed the funned and ca;
nal will be capable of supplying water
for irrigation and power. ~lhe forma-
tion of the country there is rather pe-
culiar. The Gunnison river flows to
the mouth of the Vernal mesa and
the Uncompahgre valley is to the
south. The river is approximately
1,500 feet higher than the valley and
the mesa Is a formation of trachyte
and sandstone. It will be necessary
to tunnel this immense wall and the
preliminary survey will determine the
length of the tunnel and the probable
cost. There will be no opposition to
taking the water from the river for
the ranchmen along its course have all
the water they need and some to
spare."

CUBANS MUST NOT QUIBBLE
OVER PLATT AMENDMENTS
Washington, June 1.--The adminis-
tration has decided that the action of
the Cuban constitutional convention
in accepting the terms of the Platt
amendment with modifications and in-
terpretations of their own is not "sub-
stantial" compliance with our terms
within the meaning of the amendment
and Secretary Root will convey this
intelligence to the convention. The
decision was reached at the Cabinet
meeting yesterday.
The meeting lasted over an hour
and a half and had been preceded by
an hour's conference between the
President and Senators Platt of Con-
necticut and Lodge of Massachusetts.
As the author of the amendment, the
President desired to learn the views
of Senator Platt and also those of
Senator Lodge, who is one of the in-
fluential members of the committee
on foreign relations.
At the Cabinet meeting Secretary
Root took the position that the inter-
pretations of the Platt amendment
contained in the constitution adopted
by the convention, and the whereases
appended to it, went outside of a fair
interpretation of its meaning and was
unacceptable. In this view the Cabi-
net concurred.
The Cabinet held that the amend-
ments and interpretations and the
wealth of whereases placed by the Cu-
ban convention upon the Platt amend-
ment amounted to a practical modifi-
cation of the amendment, such as was
beyond the power of this government
to accept.
The message of rejection sent to
General Wood advises the Cubanq, in
unqualified language, that there is no
power resting in the United States
government to change the terms of
the Platt amendment, and that this
government insists upon the accept-
ance of the Platt amendment without
amendment or qualification.
The Cuban convention is still in ses-
sion and the message of rejection will
be delivered to it immediately.
The administration is confident that
the Cubans win understand the atti-
tude of this government and make ac-
ceptance in proper time.
It is stated that the earnest desire
of the President is to retire from Cuba
at the earliest possible moment con-
sistent wits the best interests of the
people of the island and the future re-
lations between the new government
and the United States. The problem
is whether witharawal under the
amended Platt ,aw will accomplish
that result.
The three main points in which the
action of the Cuban convention is re-
garded as unsatisfactory relate, it is
said, to coaling stations, sanitation
and intervention. The Cuban conven-
tion took from the coaling stations
paragraph of the Platt amendment its
obligatory character, and merely au-
thorized the Cuban government in its
judgment to allow the U~ited States
to possess coaling or naval stations.
The United States will insist on an ab-
solute agreement to grant us these
coaling stations.
With respect to sanitation the Cu-
bans do not agree to carry out plans
already devised, and in accepting the
Platt amendment modify its provis-
ions so as to change them considera-
bly.
In the matter of intervention our
objection is that the Cubans have so
changed this vitally'important part of
~he Platt amendment as to make our
right to intervene an ambiguous and
doubtful matter, whereas we insist on
a straight, unequivocal acknowledg-
ment of our right to intervene when in
our judgment intervention is neces-
sary to secure Cuban independence or
a stable government.

SOME INTERESTING
CENSUS STATISTICS
Washington, June L--The director of
the census to-day issued the first half
of the final census report on popula-
Uon. The other portion of the final
report on population will be issued
early in the fall, putting the entire
volume in the hands of the public at
least four years in advance of any
previous census.
Most of the features of the first vol-
ume have received attention from the
press heretofore. It shows that, ex-
cluding the District of Columbia,
which is iu effect a municipality,
Rhode Island, with 407 inhabitants to
the square mile in 1900, is the most
densely settled state in the Union,
while Massachusetts comes next. with
not quite 349 inhabitants to the square
mile. New Jersey, with a little more
than 250 inhabitants to the square
mile, is the third state in point of den-
sity of population, while Counecticut,
with somewhat more than 187 inhabi-
tants to the square mile, occupies
fourth place. Four other states had
more than 100 inhabitants to the
square mile in 1900, namely, New York
with 152.6 inhabitants; Pennsylvania,
with 140.1 inhabitants; Maryland, with
120.5 inhabitants, and Ohio, with 102
Inhabitants. to the square mile.
Alaska has on the average, but one-
tenth of one person to the square mile.
Wyoming has not quite* one inhabitant
to the square mile, Nevada only four-
tenths of one person to the square
mile, while Arizona, New Mexico. Mon-
tana and Idaho have less than two
persons to the square mile
The newly acquired territory of Ha-
wall sHOws an average density of POP-
uiatlou of not quite twenty-tour per-
sons, ranking in this respect between
Maine, wlth 23.2 persons, and Arkan-
]sss with 24.7 persona to the square
mlle.
[ WESTERNS AND
WESTERN LABOR UNION
Denver. June 1.--Decislon to organ-
lze districts where the union is weak
and those districts where there is now
no union was the sum of the work of
the convention of the Western Feder-
ation of Miners yesterday. Many del-
egates spoke on the subject and
the
consensus of opinion was, that only
by thorough organization could the
Miners' Federation become a power.
One of the results growing out of
nearly an entire day spent in discuss-
ling the good of the federation will
- probably be the sending put of addl-
'Uonal organizers. This has not ~-et
been decided upon, but the probabili-
ty is that the West will be redistricted
and that two or three men will be sent
out to form new unions and in all
ways possible to strengthen the union
spirit. The executive board of the
Federation, too, will have its share
of this work in strengthening unions
already for-reed.
Several of the speakers yesterday
wished that the unions individually
and the Federation, representing the
union collectively, take a more active
part In politics. It was urged that if
the miners would stand by a ticket
favorable to organized labor generally,
and to miners particularly, more could
be commplished than in any other
way. The speakers were united on the
subject of politics.
There were other delegates, how-
ever, who declared that the unions and
the Federation should first strengthen
themselves and then takeanactivepart
iu local politics. These speakers said
that after mining districts had been
thoroughly organized; after present
unions had been strengthened, then
the unions and the Federation would
be in a position to take up politics and
along political lines m seek their sal-
vation.
Indications are that as a result of the
conventions of the Miners' Federation
and the Western Labor Uniofl, now
going on at the same time in this city,
two big organizations will be brought
closer together. The question of in-
terchangeable working cards, now In
the hands of a committee, wilI, ~is
believed, be favorably reported. This
plan is that either organization shall
recognize the union cards of the other.
