So far as the state department has been
Informed, the Boers have not declared for

citizens, but If so, the American consul
wIM take measures for securing Its restora
tion. In the event of failure, and If the
British conquer the country. Its restora
tion will be certain after the war. It Is
likelythat the South African Republic, de
sirous of averting International complica

erty of persons other than British. The
only case thus fa?brought to the attention
of the state detriment is that of an
American named Brown, who says he did
not secure justice from the South African
courts, and has flledi a claim for damages,
which will be given attention when the
war has ended.
A GEXUIAK PROTECTORATE.
Object of Ir. Leydii' Recent Visit to
Berlin.
NEW TORK, Feb. 19. A special to the
Herald from Washington eays:
A report is current In diplomatic circles
In .this city that Dr. Leyds had for his
sole purpose In going to Germany the es
tablishment of a German protectorate over
the Boer republic. The German emperor,
it is believed, has been approached and
asked to take charge of the Boer republic.
The Boers, It Is said, seem to realize that
their defeat at the hands of England will
be the ultimate result of the present war.
Rather than submit to subjection of Great
Britain, they would voluntar ly come under
the sovereignty of the German empire,
under certain stipulations, which would
guarantee their local self-government.
It Is stated here that President Kruger,
realizing that the liberties of his people
are in danger, and that the continuance
of the republic is threatened, prefers a
German emperor rather than an English
ruler. The overture to the German em
peror was made In the first place, it is
reported, with a view to creating a rup
ture between Great Britain and Germany.
This, however, was avoided, as it is un
derstood that Emperor William declined
to consider the proposition, at least for the
present.
According to the report. Dr. Leyds, be
fore leaving Berlin, proposed a secret trea
ty with Germany, in which that cpuntry
was guaranteed certain rights. Although
the text of the treaty Is not known. It Is
said to give the German empire the great
est possible privileges, amounting almost
to ownership In the Transvaal republic.
XO SECRET ALLIANCE.
Nor Diplomatic or Other Advances
Made for One.
LONDON, Feb. 19 A representative of
the Associated Press has been officially
and emphatically informed that Great
Britain has not at any time made any
diplomatic or other advances for alli
ances with the United States or Germany.
So far as this statenent refers to the
United States, it Is fully confirmed at the
United States embassy, and hopes are ex
pressed that the false reports will some
Uay die a natural death.
Jn consequence of Lord Rosebery's
speech, cabled references to such alli
ances continue to appear In the British
newspapers, though the view is taken
here that Lord Rosebery referred to Jo
seph Chamberlain's alliance speeoh rather
than to any secret negotiations, as his
words were "public overtures last De
cember." That Pnris Dispatch.
LONDON, Feb. 19. Inquiries In official
circles here confirm the dispatches from
the Associated Press, showing there la
no truth In the Information contained in
the Paris dispatch that President McKln
ley bas sounded the British ambassador
as to how an offer of mediation In the
South African war on the part of the
United States would be TecelvedJ-by Great
Britain. It Is said In thfe hlgHestwefflcial
circles here that Secretary Hay under
stands Great Britain would not consider
any such proposition.
VACANCIES IN THE NAVY.
Make the Appointment of a Retiring
Board Unnecessary
NEW YORK, Feb. 19. Should vacancies
occur in the line of the navy proportion
ate to the number since January 1 last,
there will be no necessity for the appoint
ment by Secretary Long of a board of
live rear-admirals to force retirements.
Eight vacancies above the grade of com
mander have occurred since January 1.
The law requires that by the end of the
present fiscal jear 13 shall have occurred.
There are four applicants for voluntary
retirement those of Captains Clpriano An
drade, W. W. Harris, J. G. Green and R.
ImprL
The average vacancies for any fiscal
year, above the grade of lieutenant-commander,
shall be 20. Thirteen vacancies
above those grades already exist, and the
retirements to make up the necessary
number above the grade of commander
will bring the total up to IS. Six com
manders have applied for volunteer retire
ment. These are: D. Delahanty, J. D.
M. Kelley, C. T. Forse, A. B. Speyers, T.
H. Stevens and W. I. More. There will,
therefore, be no difficulty In creating the
vacancies in the grades above lieutenant
commander. Twenty-nine vacancies must exist on
June 30 above the grade of lieutenant, and
40 above the grade of lieutenant, junior
grade. Eleven lieutenant-commanders
have submitted applications for voluntary
retirement: W. T. Lowe, W. Kilburn, B.
A. Fiske, F. H. Holmes, W. A. Rooney,
W. C. Eaton, J. P. S. Lawrence, G. S.
Willlts. E. R, Freeman, L. L. Reamy and
H. Minnett. There will consequently be
no trouble in creating the necessary va
cancies above the grade of lieutenant. It
is said by officials that only a few more
casualties are necessary to cause the re
quired vacancies above the rank of lieu
tenant, Junior grade.
WAR COLLEGE EXERCISES.
Revenue Marine Service AVants
Participate.
to
NEW YORK, Feb. 19 A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Assistant Secretary AlUn has b-en
notified by the secretary of the
treasury that the reienue marine
service will be glad to partlcpate
in the war college exercises of the com
ing summer, tond will detail several offi
cers to attena. Secretary Root has not
yet replied to the navy department's In
vitation for the army to take part In the
course, but Assistant Secretary Allen un
derstands military officers will be detailed.
The battle-ship Kearsarge will be placed
In commission Tuesday, and will then
undergo a trial of her superimposed tur
rets. The board of Inspection and survey
will probably be detailed to witness their
adoption for the projected battle-ships.
Rear-Admiral HIchborn chief constructor,
who has opposed the use of superimposed
turrets, says he has no doubt that me
chanically, the turrets will work satis
factorily, but he deprecates the system be
cause of what he considers its manifold
military disadvantages.
That the administration believes there
is no further danger in Santo Domingo,
Is shown by the orders given to the Ma
chJas to proceed to Pensacola, Fla. The
Detroit will go to Mobile, Ala., and the
Texas to New Orleans. Rear-Admiral
Farquhar has been directed to send as
many vessels as may be available to Gal
veston, Tex.
in
BarnndCK on Ocean Cables.
The recent investigations for cable-laying
in the Pacific ocean have revealed the
interesting fact that if not upon rock bot
tom, they gradually become encrusted
with barnacles and seaweeds, heavy
enough to break them. This Is like dys
pepsia, which. If It Is not checked, grows
uhtll it breaks down the health. Hostet

CONSTITUTIONAL DEBATE
AUTHORITY OF CONGRESS TO EX
TEND LAW'S TO NEW TERRITORY,
Precipitated in the Senate by a Sim..
pie Resolution 6f Inquiry The
Havrniian Bill.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19. A simple res
olution of Inquiry Introduced in the sen
ate today by Hale (rep. Me.) precipitated
an hour's constitutional debate by some
of the ablest constitutional lawyers In the
body on the authority of congress at its
pleasure to extend or withhold the con
stitution to territory acquired by the
United States. The bill providing a gov
ernment for the territory of Hawaii wat
under consideration most of the after
noon, Cullom (rep. 111.), in charge of the
measure, explaining in detail its provis
ions. On convening the senate passed a bill
for the relief of claimants having cases
pending against the United States in the
circuit and district courts, affected by an
act of 1S&8.
Hale offered a resolution, which, after
a long debate, was adopted, calling upon
the commissioners of the District of Co
lumbia for Information as to why the law
of congress relating to telephone charges
bad not been enforced, and practically
was Inoperative.
Galllnger (rep. N. H.), Foraker (rep. O.)
and Piatt (rep. Conn.) called attention
to the fact that the telephone charges
fixed by congress had been decided by a
judge of the supreme court of the District
of Columbia to amount to a practical con
fiscation of telephone property and In
violation of constltuional provisions
against taking property without due pro
cess of law. Bach rather deprecated
action by congress in questioning court
decisions, whether satisfactory to senators
or not. Hale insisted that the rights of
the telephone monopoly In the premises
Bhould be passed on by the United States
supreme court.
Tillman (dem. S. a), at this point, hav
ing in. mind the extension of the constitu
tion over the Insular possessions of the
United States, precipitated a legal debate
by Inquiring how the constitution extend
ed over the District of Columbia, If, as
had been maintained, congress had plenary
power over he District.
Foraker replied that the constitution
extended over the District when it was a
part of Virginia and Maryland, and was
never withdrawn. He maintained that
congress had ample authority. In ills judg
ment, to extend the constitution over such
territory as the United-States might ac
quire, or withold it, at will. Once extend
ed over territory, congress was bound by
its limitations.
Chilton (dem. Tex.) Inquired if the pro
visions of the constitution could be with
drawn by congress.
Foraker- replied that that question had
never arisen, and probably never would
arise. He was inclined to think there
might be difficulty In withdrawing the con
stitution once extended over a territory.
The discussion of the constitutional
questions Involved took a wide range.
Lindsay (dem. Ky.) was inclined to the
opinion, he said, that the constitution
could be extended or withheld from ac
quired territory. Vest (dem. Mo.) In
quired whether Chief Justice Marshall
had not decided that wherever the author
ity and jurisdiction of tne United States
extended, the constitution also extended,
Lindsay did not think the entire consti
tutional interpretation of all the future
ought to be based on Chief Justice Mar
shall's decision In that case.
In response to Hoar (rep. Mass.), Lind
say said the application of the constitu
tion had been expanded. Jefferson, he
said, did not believe a state could be cre-
jeuuLxajOTQvnoiamomdeunwit-hinH
the Original limits of the United States,
out, nevertneiess. we had advanced far
beyond that point.
The bill providing for a government of
Hawaii was then taken up. Cullom, In
charge of the measure, explained its pro
visions section by section, elaborating the
necessarily condensed language of the
bill.
Tillman was disposed to criticise the
hill, as indicated by his Interruptions of
Cullom, because property and educational
qualifications for voters and office-holders
were required, Inasmuch as objections
were raised In this country to Southern
states demanding similar qualifications of
their votes.
Cullom said the matter had been con
sidered most carefully by the foreign re
lations committee, and as a means of
protecting the Interests of the Island and
their citizens from disorder and confu
sion, the restricted suffrage qualifications
had been adopted. No discrimination wa3
shown against any race or class of people
in Hawaii. Under the bill all were treat
ed with absolute equality. Cullom ex
plained, as a particular reason for early
action upon the pending bill, that tho
bubonic plague had created a serious
situation in Honolulu. Thirty acres of
the city were burned by the authorities
In order to prevent the spread of the
plague. Eight thousand people homo
less and naked were in quarantine, and
were being supported by tho other citizens
of Honolulu. The Hawaiian people had
made a strong appeal for the enactment
of legislation that would give them the
authority of permanent government, and
he hoped the measure might be given
speedy but thorough consideration.
At the conclusion of Cullom's statement
a sharp discussion arose over the right
of congress to establish in a territory a
constitutional courf of the United States.
No conclusion was reached before the
senate, at 5:15 P. M., held an executive
session, and at 5:25 P. M. adjourned.
GERMAN-BOER VIEW.
Says Lndj smith Will Surrender the
Latter Part ol February.
In the SL James' Budget of February 2
there is an interesting letter written by
a Hanoverian officer, formerly a major of
the Twenty-second German Infantry, and
now a colonel on the personal staff of
Count Georges Villebols de Marveull. who
la acting nominally as military adv ser to
the Boer commandant-general, and has
assumed the actual direction of operations
around beleagured Ladysmith. After ex
pressing his utter contempt of the Judg
ment of the Marquis of Lansdowne as to
what constitutes a force sufficient to con
quer the Boers, he says, concerning Lady
smith: "We will, not long from the end of Feb
ruary, receive the capitulation of this
town, Tho ammunition and the medicines
and the green food and the anti-scorbutics
are coming to an end with the English,
and their hospitals are crowded with sick!
Owing to the strength of the position we
hold a circle of heights like Sedan, but
of greater altitude and further removed
from the town wo cannot be brushed
aside except by a relief column exceed
ing us in numerical strength by two to
one, and that force the English cannot
concentrate for the espec al purpose of
freeing General White for at least two
months to pass. At the small action
fought qj the banks of the Tugela river
the other day we captured two batteries
of the new English field guns, ammunition
wagons and all complete. All the teams
wero killed. Besides, as you will have
seen by the papers, we took nearly 100
prisoners We do not know what to do
with all these prisoners. Every day's
fighting or roconnolssance Increases the
number we have to find rations for.
"You remember in our great war the
chancellor used to say: 'What, more
prisoners? I wish I could have them all
shot!' I will not write about military
movements, but I will communicate one
Interesting fact. It is that the normal
distance occupied by our field guns as
compared with the English cannon Is very
much In our favor. We, as you know,
take up much closer positions than they
do. In our drill book a front of 21 guns
is allowed in the same line front as
would be occupied by 18 English guns;
We, using our guns at so much narrower
intervals, can always beat down their
fire when it is a duel between field guns.
We have been steadily capturing the ene
my's guns, and you can appreciate how
the continual loss of guns injures the
morale of an army. The English thought
it would be the other way. Before tha
war they bought a four-gun battery of
Krupps and Schneider's creusot quick
firers, and had drilled to their use sev
eral detachments of artillery, so that they
would be able to at once take Into serv
ice our guns when captured. The idea
of drilling their men to tho use of our
guns was due to the English colonel of
the Royal field artillery, called Baron.
Colonel Baron Is now at the front. Ono
of our spies in England found out his
little plan, which so far has proved previ
ous. "We can, as I write, dispose of along
our whole front, from the Baron Methuen
to Ladysmith, nearly 10,000 trained soldiers
'from Europe, and quite 300 officers."

MULTIPLICITY OF DISEASES INCLUDED
LIGHT-FEE SYSTEM.
Marvelous Results of Improved Treatment in Maladies Long Glassed as
Incurable.
To thoeo 'unacquainted with the great
work carried on al the Copeland Institute,
the reach and range of that far-famed
medical system and it. admirable adapta
tion to the needs of every class of in
valids may be indicated by the diversity
of disease accepted for expert treatment.
1. The Copeland system Includes catarrh
and all catarrhal maladies. In thia bard
branch of practical pathology, Doctor
Copeland ranks with the very few recog
nized masters now living, but under the
nominal assessment plan all catarrh pa
tients receive one entire month's treatment,
medicines Included, for the sum usually
paid Jor examination alone.
2. The Copeland system Includes the
treatment and cure of deafness, the sys
temtic restoration of the lost or impaired
sense of hearing, under brilliant discov
eries credited entirely to Doctor Copeland,
being new a thoroughly verified roallty,
however unique and marvelous as a medi
cal evolution and achievement. Here, too,

CATARRH AFFECTING
THE ENTIRE SYSTEM CURED
BY THE HOME TREATMENT
Mr J. V. Gavltt, a pioneer resident
of "Waltsburg, "Wash., having moved to
that section in I860, was a sufferer from
catarrhal troubles for many years. In
speaking of his euro- by the Home treat
ment, he aays:
"I had catarrh more or less since child
hood. Four years ago I had grip, 'which
left me In a very weak and miserable
state. From that time on I grew rapidly
worse. I seemed to have one continuous
cold. My head and ears weregtogped up
with that dull, heavy feeling thaTalways
goes "with cold. For years there was a
discharge from the left ear. As the dis
ease advanced, I experienced a fullness
and smothering sensation In the chest. I
was short of breath and had frequent at
tacks of choking like asthma.
My stomach became involved. Food did
not digest. It caused bloating and great
distress. There was a feeling of weight
and oppression In the pit of the stomach;
the top felt raw and sore. My appetite
went back on me. I lost weight and
strength and became weak and easily
exhausted. I could not sleep. My nerv
ous system was almost wrecked. Any little
thing would upset me completely, when I
would shake and tremble like one with
ague.
"I had read of the new Home treatment
for catarrh and sent for a symptom blank.
This blank covered my case so well that
I was Inspired with confidence and sent
for the treatment. I began to get better
right away. Now I feel as I have not felt
In years. In nerfect health. I am free from
distress and pain. I eat and sleep well. I .. rt

THE FRENCH TREATY.
If Adopted, Japan May Ask for the
Same Arrangement.
NEW YORK. Feb. 19 A special to the
Herald from Washington, eays:
Although Japan has not addressed any
remonstrances to the government respect
ing the treaty of reciprocity negotiated by
this government with France, she has
made it plain to the authorities that bhe
will be adversely affected by the provision
relating to silks. The United States 13
unable to take any action In the matter
except to negotiate a treaty of reciprocity
with Japan in case the French treaty is
ratified, which Is, from the present out
look, an altogether unlikely event. '
The French treaty will expire the latter
part of next month, providing ratifications
have not been exchanged by that time, and
it has not yet been, reported by the eenate
committee. The state department officials
insist that interests at first opposed to the
treaty have, to a large extent, withdrawn
their opposition, but senators familiar with
the situation say the- treaty will not be
ratified.
The section of the treaty of friendship,
commerce and extradition with Switzer
land, negotiated In I860, requiring the ex
tension to the Swiss confederation of any
p favor in commerce granted to other na
tions, will be abrogated next month, and
with it the embarrassment suffered be
cause of the possibility of other nations
claiming the extension to them of the
most-favored-nation clause will be re
moved. There Is no intention on the part of the
authorities to revive the treaty with Ar
gentina, but they propose to use all the
Influence they can to obtain ratification of
the French treaty. An official said last
night that In the event of the. failure of
congress to ratify the French treaty, the
tariff wall raised around the United States
by the Dlngley law would, in the end, re
cult in limiting the American 'markets,
through European retaliation on American
products.
COXSTITUTlOXAIi LAWYERS.
Opinions of James C. Carter and E.
Ellery Anderson on Insular Tariff.
NEW YORK. Feb. 19. James C. Carter,
the constitutional lawyer, says, In an in
terview: "I think congress has vested in It the
authority to legislate for the Island pos
sessions of the United States. If we are
going to hold these islands, there will have
to be special legislation for them, for they
are not portions of the United State3. I
am unconditionally a free trader, and as
such could express approval of no other
policy for. these newly acquired colonies.
Of course the natives of the colonies are
not citizens of the United States, and laws
that are enacted for them must, in the very
nature of things, differ from those enacted
for the states.
"You may say for mts emphatically that
I believe we have no right to keep the
Philippine islands at all, and that we never
did have such a right. The fact that we
helped the Filipinos to gain their inde
pendence from Spanish rule did not entitle
vs to assume that rule ourselves."
E. Ellery Anderson says:

"Of course the colonists are not citizens.
The colonies are dependent upon the Uni
ted States for their laws, unless they are
given absolute independence and permitted
to govern themselves, which Is improbable
for the present at least.
"I cannot see, though, why It is equitable
or lawful to grant free trade to Puerto
Rico and refuse it to the Philippines. If
the Philippines are annexed to the United
States and become a part of our territory,
it Is an injustice to legislate for a tariff
on trade between the islands and the
United States as It would be to legislate
for a tariff on goods sold In New York to
the people of any other state.
"At present I am Inclined to the opinion
that the Philippines cannot be regarded ad
part of the United States, but if they are,
there certainly should be no tariff on trade
between thf United States and the islands.
I am in favor of the 'open door policy."

BRONCHIAL CATARRH
LIKE CONSUMPTION.
Mr. J. P. West, SoaBpeese, Or.t On
son Wilfred has been taking a comae of
treatment at the Copeland Institute for a
very severe ease of catarrh. His worst
symptom was a terrible racking eoogh. Ho
had whooping cough as a hatoy and
coughed almost continually since. A year
ago he had a very bad cold or grip, from
which he never fully recovered. His ap
petite failed and he hwt nosh and strength.
He was tired and languid and without am
bition. The way ho coughed was terrible;
It wore him out completely. We
feared that his lungs were affected. He
took bottle after bottle of patent medi
cine with the result that ho got worse
Instead of petter.
We took Mm up to the Copeland Insti
tute, and under tho treatment given him
there he got well and strong. His cough
disappeared and he gained sMgth &d
weight. He is an entirely different boy
from what he was a year ago.
Mr. H A. RHtH, revrster Hotel,
Portland, a well-known steamboat man:
I would have long since been In my grave
but, for the treatment of Drs. Copeland
and Montgomery. They saved my life. I
suffered from a bronchial trouble, which
was thought to be consumption. My fam
ily physician could do nothing for me I
had night sweats and a terrible cough.
At times I coughed until I raised bright
red blood. My chest was sore, with sharp
cutting pains through the lungs. I lost
