HAWAIIAN CASE LEADS TO DECISION

Part of Cnlted States.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, D. C, June 7. (Special
Telegram.) The history of the supreme
court la a history of strong antagonism.
In the hundred year or more of Its his
tory sharp contrasts have been drawn by
the majority and the minority of the
Judges. Constituted as the present supreme
court of the United States Is It Is hard to
get a unanimous opinion from It, the mem
bers differ upon the construction of law
as noted lawyers. The rule of the major
ity, however,- which Is a well accepted
principle In our form of government ob
tains, and yet sometimes one Is almost
led to believe with Blackstone, "That a
united minority very frequently gives voice
to the majority of the future."
By a vote of five to four the supreme
court In an opinion by Justice Brown held
on Monday that the resolution of congress
of 1898, annexing the Hawaiian Islands, did
not carry with It the protection of the con
stitution. This decision which Is on all
fours with former decisions affecting terri
tory recently acquired by purchase or
otherwise grew out of a case brought on
appeal from the territory of Hawaii
against Osakl Manklchl, a Jap, who was
convicted of manslaughter and sentenced
to twenty years imprisonment in Hawaii
under the laws of the old Hawaiian re
public. The conviction took place between
the date of the adoption of the .congres
sional resolution of annexation of 1898 and
inoo, the date of the act creating the ter
ritory of Hawaii, and Manklchl was found
guilty without the action of a grand Jury,
and by a majority vote of the trial Jury.
The attorneys for the Jap afUr trying
the law points of the case through the
several courts came before the supreme
court with the one point that Manklchl
had not been properly Indicted by the
grand Jury provided under the common
law which they contendod was extended
to the Islands at the time of their be
coming a part of the United States. The
court could not agree with their conten
tion and held that the first object of the
resolution was to accept the cession of
the inlands; second, to abolish all existing
treaties and, third, to continue the existing
laws and customs regulations.
The court then proceeded to announce
afresh that the constitution does not and
cannot extend by force and vigor to ter
ritory acquired, but becomes operative in
. such territory only through the dictum of
congress. The decision In so many words
means that mere annexation of territory
does not clothe the Inhabitants of such ter
ritory . with all the rights and privileges
conferred by the constitution on citizens
f the United States, and in effect empha
sises the theory of constitutional construc
tion which the supreme oourt laid down
two years ' ago when the question as to
whether the constitution follows the flag
came before it for final adjudication. It
la notable that both the new Justices, Jus
tice Holmes and Justice Day, range!
themselves with the majority, while the
four dissentients, Justices Fuller, Harlan,
Brewer and Peckham clung tenaciously to
the idea that the constitution followed the
flag. The contrasts, therefore, between
the majority and minority members of the
court arc as sharp today as In the cele
brated Downs case. ,."!' 7 ' "'
. f Auto Story Par' Fake, ..
A sensational story 'was printed through
out the United States a few days ago In
which it was asserted that the daughter of
the president had purchased a new machine
at a cost of $2,600 and that on Its first trial
while proceeding to the Pennsylvania rail
way 'station Miss Roosevelt had narrowly
averted a collision with the truck of a
fire engine company. Upon seeing this ac
count of her alleged narrow escape Miss
Roorevelt promptly, wrote to friends here
denying the story of the purchase of the
machine and declaring she had no intention
of Investing In a carriage of this sort. So
far as the narrowly averted accident is
concerned the story Is equally devoid of
truth. The writer was standing at the
window In his ofllce when the fire alarm
bell rang and noticed Miss Roosevelt, ac
companied by some friends, wheeling down
the avenue from the White House on her
way to the railroad station. Just before
the machine reached Fourteenth street a
man signalled to the occupants of the car
riage to look out for the fire apparatus.
Miss Roosevelt, who had control of the
lever, promptly (lowed down and was ready
to stop entirely as the crossing was reached
but found that the truck and water tower
had turned, on a parallel street, thereby
making anything like a collision Impossible.
The fact of the matter is that at no time
was Miss Roosevelt's automobile within 100
feet .of the fire apparatus. Some sensa
tionalist undoubtedly "loaded up" the re
porter who wrote the story and thus caused
ths daughter of the president a great
deal of unpleasunt notoriety.
THE GENEROSITY
0F MR. TOGGS
1 BT FRANK E. GRAFF.
Mr. Toggs was peculiar; but everyone Is
peculiar who is assertive and doe not
think In all things Just as we do.
Mr. Toggs was not considered a gener
ous man; but then the standard for gen
erosity varies so that we cannot always
accept even the Judgment of friends.
Mr. Toggs was generous with himself.
This was unquestloningly conceded. In
dress he was generous to prodigality. The
appearance of his well-developed six feet
two of phyaical manhood, fr.nn the luster
of his high-top hat and Immaculate linen
to the sheen of his No. 10s, was faultless.
In business, however, he was close; so
close that he could shave a bargain to a
finer point and grind a transaction to a
keener edge than any oth.ir man in the
market But that was business, and we
do not look for much display of generosity
In that particular held.
It was In his family relations that
Madam Gobsip charged him most unspar
ingly. She said he kept no servant for his
wife; that he doled out to her a p.ttanco
of $16 a week for expenses ot table, fuel,
light and personal requirements; that he
never allowed her family to visit her on
account of the added expeiioe that would
be Incurred; that while he was clothed
faultlessly she wus but why should w be
rummaging in other folks' closet to dis
play their family skeletons when the very
thought starts a commotion In dark re
cesses nearer home.
Remember. Mrs. Toggs never com
plained, not she. Had she not promised
. at the sacred altar to love, worship cher
ish, I mean and obeyT And she did It so
thoroughly that all Independence of
thought and action was lojt In her devo
,tlon to her over-towering spouse.
Mr. Toggs fell ill. He had been exceed
ingly generous with himself un1 had in
dulged in a late banquet at the Ego club.
He awakened early In the morning with a
moat pronounced attack of indigestion.
Mr, Toggs declared that be had swal-
lowed the larger part of a mill stone snd
that It lay with Its crushing weight Jtut
below his diaphragm. Then he felt like
the Spartan youth who concealed the stolen
fox under his toga, and he experienced the
burnings of a thousand pitiless flames as
they ate their way Into his vitals.
During the first hour's torture Mr. Toggs
groaned, and moaned, and expressed him
self In language that was as forcible as the
conditions demanded. Mrs. Toggs, without
any undue display of alarm gave htm the
full service of her devoted nature. He had
been sick once with rheumatism, and she
had witnessed a display of the lack of all
Christian graces Irfcthe nature of Mr. Togs
when s!ck, so she was not apprehensive.
Indigestion may affect a complete trans
formation In its victim. It will make either
a saint or a demon of the worst or best of
men, or change a lion lnt h lamb. Mr.
Toggs, after a few hours of torture, be
came a lamb.
He uncomplainingly awaltowed quarts of
scalding hot water. He chewed pepsin lab-
lets without a murmur. He swallowed Dr.
Killer's remedies faithfully, and submitted
to applications of mustard plasters until
the otiter surface o his boov liad every
appearance of being parboiled. Through It
all not one word of complaint or rebellion
escaped Mr. Toggs' Hps, and Mrs. TogifS
was somewhat alarmed.
As day and night In regular order suc
ceeded etch other until five revolutions of
the earth on Its ixis had been completed,
and Mr Toggs avowed that the millstone
was growing heavier, the fox was un
wearied In his endeavors to claw out his
vitals, and the Inextinguishable fires burned
with Increased fury, and In the face of all
he was growing more and more lamblike.
Mrs. Toggs became correspondingly more
alarmed. This complete change could
presage only one thing the coming end.
"Dear!" gasped the tortured Mr. Toggs,
as he turned a look of Intense longing upon
Ms unfailing wife, and noted her anxious
face, "won't you send for Elisabeth to
come and assist you? Tou are overdoing
yourself."
Poor Mrs. Toggs could scarcely restrain
herself until she hastened from the room,
when she burst Into a flood of tears. Mr.
Toggs was certainly mortally ill. In all
their twenty-three years of conjugal rela
tions he had never before applied to her so
precious an epithet, and for the first time
had seemed concerned about her personal
comfort. And he had broken his oft-declared
law that there would be no visiting
relations of either slde'allowed in his home.
Elisabeth had a reputation for being an
exceptional nurse, and an expert In the
knowledge of family remedies. So upon
her arrival there was a resumption, or
rather addition, of operations. The Indiges
tion loosened its hold somewhat and Mr.
Toggs was grateful.
"Clarissa, dear." he said assurlngly, as
he lay bolstered up In a targe rocker. "1
feel much better, and If I continue to
Improve, and am well tomorrow I'll give
you $3 for your nursing and care of me."
Mrs. Toggs hastened from the room the
picture of despair. She was sure he was
dying, and when she returned to his side,
closely followed by the faithful Elisabeth,
she manifested no sign of Joy at her hus
band's assertion of marked, improvement.
"Elisabeth," and Mr. Togg's voice grew
stronger, "I'll give you $6, too. If I am
well tomorrow!"
Then Mrs. Toggs had a presentiment
by a rattling In the closet thatr he was
marked . for death, and her little body
stooped In" anticipation of the crushing
blow.
By noon Mr. Toggs declared that he felt
well enough to go out for a walk about
the block. As he wa. adjusting his lus
trous, high-top hat, he said: "If you'll
give me the money, I'll settle the account
for the medicines at the druggist's."
Mr. Toggs never liked bills to hang.
Mrs. Toggs handed her deoartlng lord
and master a shining golden eagle a part
of her week's allowance for U household
expenses.
The druggist claimed half of the gold,
and Mr. Toggs tucked the change In his
lower right-side waistcoat pocket. But
feeling a suspicious sensation that
ptophesled a return of the tortures, he
hastened home and calmly submitted to the
untiring efforts of his faithful nurse for
relief.
That night Mr. Toggs fell Into a re
freshing sleep and awoke In the morning
a completely delivered man.
"Here, dear. Is that $5 I promised you,"
and his thumb and Index finger went down
into the lower pocket on the right side
of his waistcoat, and he laid a $3 bill on
the bureau.
Mr j. Toggs murmured her thanks be
tween stifled toba but refrained from
touching the sacred testimonial of his dying
love. For, surely, Mr. Toggs was nearlng
the end of his earthly . career, .and his
svowed improvement Was only a delusion.
She gased upon him In helpless abandon
ment to the Inevitable.
Mr. Toggs proceeded with his toilet, and
when It was completed he turned suddenly
toward the bureau, and picking up the
money he had shortly before laid thjro,
said in his old way:
"I think, Mrs. Toggs, you saved this
much on me in household expenses, for I
have not partaken of a single meal while
I have been sick. I may as well pay Elisa
beth with It."
And he hastened to find Elizabeth.
As Mr. Toggs left the room, his wife ex
perienced a sensation of Joy. Mr. Toggs
was better. He was his old self again.
She was relieved of the dread that hung
over her and she was happy.
"Here's the $& I promised you," Mr. Toggs
said to Elisabeth, who was busy prepar
ing the morning meal He laid the bill
upon the sideboard in the dining room and
strode away.
Mrs. Toggs and Elisabeth were so happy
that they could only gase in admiration at
Mr. Toggs as they sat at the table, while
he ate sparingly of the morning repast,
Happy Mrs. Toggs stood with Mr. Toggs'
lustrous high-top hat In her hand when
Mr. Toggs appeared ready to leave for his
office. After he had taken a last reassuring
look, at himself in the hall mirror, he went
to the d'nlng room, and said to Elisabeth,
as he took the $6 bill from the sideboard:
"I think your board has been worth this
much for the time you have been with us
as our guest."
Mrs. Toggs never questioned her hus
band's Intentions. It was enough that he
was well once more, and she was happy.
What Elisabeth thought and said as she
Journeyed homewsrd would not be compli
mentary as an epitaph.
All that day Mr. Toggs' countenance was
lighted with a complacent smile. He was a
man well satisfied with himself.
Sunday Moraine Matmlaars.

busy Sunday morning attending the in
juries of several persons brought in by

CHICAGO, June .-Wheat opened weak
and. although the market steadied some
what later In the session, the close showed
a loss for July of UfHiC Corn closed Arm
at a shade lower than yesterday. Oats
closed strong t a gain Of Hiio. Pro
visions were down 6tMiC'to 16c.
General selling by commission houses
caused the early weakness In wheat, July
showing a loss at the opening ot Uc to
Vec, at lbc to 75V3. Weather improve
ment, lower cables and outside liquidation
were the Influences and, although buying
orders became more numerous after the
first half hour. Inducing a better feeling,
the market never recovered the early loss.
Local traders were still Inclined to the
bull side and under their manipulation
July went to 75c, the close being steady
at T&c, a loss of 'tfc. Clearances of
wheat and flour were equal to 118,500 bu.
Primary receipts were 2io,3i0 bu., against
370,900 bu., a year ago. Minneapolis and
Dultith reported receipts of 217 cars, which
with local receipts ot 28 cars on of con
tract grade made total receipts for the
three polnta of 245 cars, against 61 cars a
year ago.
The cables and the weather caused com
mission houses to be heavy set:ers of corn
also early In tho day and the opening
showed considerable weakness, but some of
the early sellers, when wheat took an up
ward tendency, became buyers snd the
market firmed up fully recovering the early
loss. Crop reports were rather bullish and
local traders bought freely late tn the day.
The close was steady at the high point,
4SiC a shade below yesterday's close.
Local receipts were 402 csrs, with 26 of
contract grade.
A rush of selling orders caused a decline
In oats at the opening, but later the mar
ket became strong, the close showing July
Mtfi'He higher after ranging between Jo'4
and 37c. The strength was largely due to
the drouth situation In the east. Cash de
mand was poor. Local receipts were 168
cars.
The provisions market weakened on sell
ing of pork credited to some of the large
packers and of ribs by brokers. The mar
ket was steady early In sympathy with the
hog situation, btit on free offerings with
no support, prices could not hold and
closing figures were 15c lower for September
pork at .80; 5ffr7Vtc for lard at $8.87, and
74c. down for ribs at $9.12H.
Estimated receipts for Monday: Wheat,
45 cars; corn, 475 cars; oats, 2o5 cars; hogs,
30,000 head.

CATTLE There were only a lew cattle
on hand .nls morning and not enough to
make a market. For the week, however,
receipts have been very liberal, as there
is un Increase over last week of nearly o,uuo
head and as computed with tho same week
of last year the ottering are almost double.
The table above will show the exact figures.
Very nearly a l the cattle that have ar
rived this week have been fat enough for
killers and the greater proportion oi them
have been well rattenea steers 'of good
quality. The total receipts for the week
have been the heaviest oi the year to date,
and it la duubttul if there have ever before
been as many corn-ted steers on sale at
this point in one week. Taking this fact
Into consideration and the heavy runs at
Chicago thb market has not been in bad
shape. On Monday beef steers advanced
sharply and held the advance until the
close of the market on Tuesday, but from
that time until Friday the tendency of
prices was downward. On Friday, however,
there was some Improvement. As com
pared with the high time the first of the
week the prices paid yesterday were 3ut
4uc lower, or lojj 15c lower than the close of
last week. All kinds of steers have suf
fered In this decline, but the heavy cattle
have been the hardest to sell, as packers
would buy up the light handy weighi cattle
first. The bulk of the steers are selling
from 34.30 to 84. 60, with the choicer grades
going largely from 84.60 to 34.76. It would
take something strictly fancy to bring
muoh above that figure.
The cow market advanced also the first
ot the week, but the advance has since been
lost, and more too. The market, however,
is very uneven, so that some salomen are
calling It much worse than others. As
a general thing the choicer grades are not
much If any lower, while the medium
grades, and especially those showing the
effects of grass, are very uneven and fully
a dime lower, and in some cases a little
more. Tho bulk of the cows are selling
from 83 25 to 83.86, with the choicer grades
going frorr 83.86 up. As high as 84.66 was
paid this week for choice heifers.
Bulls are selling In very much the same
notches they were a week ago. Calves,
however, are a little lower.
There was practically no demand for
stockers and feeders the first part of the
week and not enough of them changed
hands to make a market. Toward the close
of the weeK tne more settled weather
greatly Improved the demand, but prices
are still quite a little lower than they were
a week or ten days ago. The general onln.
ion is that with settled weather the demand
for cattle to put on grass win be quite
brisk, as pastures are of course In excellent
condition. Renresentative sales:

HOGS Receipts uf hogs were quite lib
eral this morning for a Saturday, but the
local demand was In good shape and the
market opened active and strong to 6c
higher or generally 2!c higher. Toward
the close of the market, however, prices
weakened a little, so that the late sales
were only about steady with yesterday
The bulk of the early sales went from 85 75
to 85.80. while the lute sales went largely
around 85.75. Trading was quite brisk from
Mart to finish, so that practically every
thing wse disposed of lb good season. As
high ss 8u.9o was pair! for a prime load.
For the week receipts have not been ex
cessive for this time of the year. There Is
a decrease as compared with last week
amounting to about 13.0UU head and aa com
pared with the same week of last yesr the
decrease smounts to 17,noo head. Prices
have fluctuated up and down at a rapid
rate, but the week la closing a shade lower
than the close ot last week. Representa-

Sheep here today, so a test of the market
wss not made. For the week receipts have
been very light, ns there Is a decrease as
compared with Inst week amounting to
nearly R.(w head and ss compared wltn the
corresponding week of Inst year the de
crease amounts to about l,(io head. Besides
the receipts being light the quality has
been extremely pmir. so that a fnlr test of
the market has scarcely been made.
Knstern markets are quoted considerably
lower, but as lucal packers have all beer
anxious for supplies nnq thi-re have no'
iJl jnough to till their orders good stun
ts higher. 1'rlces advanced about a quarter
the first of the week anil have not chansed
much since that time. The common stuff,
however, hns been neglected more or less
a I the week and cannot be quoted any
higher.
It cannot be said that there has been a
feeder market this week, as practically
nothing hut culls has arrived and the de
mand for that class of stuff Is very limited.

NEW YORK, June 6 COTTON-Tho
market opened steady at an advance of 1
point to a decline of 5 points on local In
fluences, but rallied to a general net gain
of 2jj5 points, Inrfe-cly on covering by re
Cent sellers, who were impressed by the
sppearance of buying orders. The fact
that there were no cables led to conserv
atism, while the weather news was gen
erally regarded as unsatisfactory, leading
to some Increase in the demand for the
new crop positions In connection with Indi
cations of a subsiding movement. Public
Interest was slack.
