FROM THE NATION'S CAPITAL.
From Our Oten Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 14,1000.
Administration officials aro taken all
aback by Judgo Lochren's decision that
tho Constitution does extend, ex pro
prio vigore, to Porto Rico and tho new
possessions. The President and At
torney General expected, or least,
feared, such a decision in tho future,
but they have been straining every
nerve to prevent it"' being handed
down until after the election. Although
they protested that the passage of the
Porto Rican bill was necessary to ena
ble a test case to be brought before
legislating for the Philippines, they
are now taking every step possible to
prevent a case reaching tho Supremo
Court before it adjourns for the sum
mer, which it will do in two or three
weeks. Attorney General Griggs has
sought to minimize tho effect of tho
decision by declaring that it is merely
a "dictum.". "Judgo Lochren's an
nouncement," said he, "has no weight
whatever, as it does not relate to the
case under discussion. The question
at issue in the case was whether a |
state o? war existed and whether a
military tribunal had the right to try
for the crime of murder. We did not
even argue the question of tho exten
sion of the Constitution, but dismissed
it as irrelevant and immaterial." It
will bo remembered, however, that the
decision of the Supreme Court rendered
in the Dred Scott case that the Mis
souri Compromise was unconstitu
tional, was also a "dictum" not neces
sary to the case at issue. Judge Loch
ren, by tho way, though appointed to
office by Cleveland, is an expansionist,
indorses the policy of President Mc
Kinley and voted for him in 1896.
Mistakes ii the Porto Rican act
continue to crop up. The latest is that
the law, as construed by the Treasury
Department, puts an additional penalty
on Europeans who desire to trade with
the island via United States ports. If
a European sends goods direct to l'ortod
Rico from tho old world, he pnys thT
Dingley rates; if ho sends them to
New York for shipment to Porto Rico,
he must pay thc Dingley rates and 15
per cent, additional. That is to say,
the Republican party in its wisdom has
directly discriminated against this
country as a port of call between Eu
rope and Porto Rico, and has done its
best to discourage steamship lines
from the United States to Poi to Rico
and to encourage direct lines from
Europe to Porto Rico. Of course, this
is all very well for the trusts that wish
to control the Porto Rican market, for
their protection is increased 15 per
cent, over tho already monumental.
Dingley ra tes. Whether they had part
in drawing the verbiage of tho bill with
the idea of getting this additional doty
or whether it was an unexpected stroke
of fortune for them, cannot be said.
In either case, it is hard on tho-Porto
Ricans.
Nobody here takes much stock in the
boom of Mr. Towne, of Minneapolis, for
Vice President on the ticket with
Brynn. The Democratic convention
will not be a cut and dried affair, in
which the delegates merely ratify the
selections of their leaders, but areal
convention. Mr. Towne is looked upon
as an able man, but the fact that he
could not carry his own district, if
nothing else, militates against him.
When Senator Jones, Chairman of the
Democratic National Committee, was
asked about the Towne boom, he said:
"I read something about it in tho head
lines of the newspapers this morning,
but the matter was of each little im
portance to mo that I did not read
what you newspaper men call the story.
I looked for other things in the paper
of more importance and of general in
terest." Further than this Senator
Jones would not express himself for
publication. The Hon. B. P. Caldwell,
of Illinois, who bas a considerable
Vice Presidential boom of his own to
interest him, said; "I don't suppose
there is anything serious in th? talk
about Towne. The real sense of the
proposition now seems to be Dewey for
second place. I believe the man who
picks the Admiral for Bryan's running
mate will show himself to be a pro
phet."
If action on the Nicaraguan Canal is
secured at this session it will be over
the protest of Senator Hanna and tho
national administration. This was
made abundantly plain at the last
meeting of the Senate Committee on
inter-oceanic canals, when Mr. Hanna
and Mr. Sewell, of New Jersey, both
of whom bad been posing as friends of
the canal as long as they hoped that
the House would smother it, changed
?ides completely and set themselves
ngoingi ?v?uii, urging that nothing
bc done until after tho Hay-Paunce
foto Treaty, now pending in ' th? Son
ate, had been ratified. Hr. Hanna par
ticularly waa insistent that it would be
a pice a of bad faith andan affront to
Great Britain for this Government to
enact such a measure into law with 90
important a treaty as the Hay-Pannce
fote convention bearing tipon tho
same subject remaining on the cal ander
unacted upon. He threw ont a hint
that if tho committee insisted upon
making a favorable report on the bill
it would be antagonized on tho floor,
and that the party machinery would be
brought to bear against the proposition.
In other words, Mr. Hamm ms much as
gave his associates on tho committee
to understand that it' tito committee [
acted favorably on tho House bill, tho !
steering committee would refuse to
give the measure any standing, and
would prevent it from coming to a vote ,
during this session, at least, lu this 1
Mr. Hanna was supported by Mr. j
Sewell. Senator Morgan, however, has
not abandoned hope. He will carry i
his light to the door of the Senate, j
hoping that a sufficient number of
friends of tho canal will stand to their '
colors to compel its being taken up j
even against the desire of tho Prcsi- j
dent. Of course, McKinley cotdd kill
tho measure nt any time, if he dared to !
do so, but ho will undoubtedly prefer
to stay in the back ground and oppose '
it in such a way that ho can change j
front in a moment if necessary. He
does not propose to be caught in any j
moro "plain duty" tangles if ho can
help it. Hence, the conclusion seems
inevitable that tho Hepburn bill will
linger in the Senate along with thc
Hay-Pauncefote Treaty until tho Presi
dential election is over. If the bili
should be reported by the committee,
it is thought Senator Morgan could
manago to get a test vote on the meas
ure, if he would press his advantage
with the view of developing beyond
peradventure the administration's ex
act position on the canal question in
its relations to the tinnscontinental
railroad interests that ure known to be
opposed to it, and at the same time this
vote would expose the Administra
tion's understanding with Great Bri
tain. And this is just what thc Presi
dent does not want.
A Tragedy ia Augusta.
AUGUSTA, Ga., Mayiy.-Aleck Whit
ney, aged 25, a society leader and pop
ular young man, was shot and killed
on a street car at 7.30 p. m. by Gus
Wilson, a negro, in n dispute nbout a
seat in tho car. Much excitement, but
not much fear of lynching.
At 2 o'clock (Monday morning) there
is still a great deal of excitement on
tho streets over tho killing of young
Alex Whitney by the negro, Gus Wil
>n.
Whitney and a friend were riding on
the electric belt lino when two negroes
got on the car, one taking a sent in
front and one sitting down in Whit
ney's lap. Whitney told the negro
there was no moro room before he sat
down, but was paid no attention to.
He shoved the negro up, telling him bo
could not sit there. Tho negro's
friend, Wilson, who was in the seat in
front, said, "-it, git there anyhow."
Whitney slapped the negro with the
back of his'hand and a sc tiffi o ensued.
Wilson, who was not in the scuffle, drew
a revolver and fired, thc ball striking
Whitney below the left eye. He died
a few minutes after.
Large crowds soen collected and a
special detail of twenty-five pclicomen
with rifles were sent to guard the jail.
Wilson was secretly put on the Geor
gia Railroad train, but a number of
citizens had boarded tho train also and
when Grovetown was reached a tele
phone message previously sent to col
lect a crowd the negro was taken off
by them. This is tho latest report, but
a lynching is stire to follow if not al
ready accompli sed.
AUGUSTA, Ga., Moy 14.-William B.
Wilson, who murdered Aleck Whitney
last night, was taken from the Georgia
railroad train last night at Grovetown,
en route to Atlanta. The crowd carri
ed him into tho woods, where they
kept him all night. He was positively
identified this morning. Shortly after
10 o'clock he was strung up. The rope
broke and ho fell to the ground and was
litarally shot to pieces.
Homicide In South Carolina.
SALUDA, May 8.-Judge Benet made
a Special charge to the grand jury this
morning. The Court room was packed
and the closest attention was given to
all he said. ...
Expressions of surprise and astonish
nient were visible on many faces as
Judge Benet, with great feeling, dwelt
upon tho lamentable conditions exist
ing in this State as evidenced by the
enormous number of homicides which
occur. Mnch of what he said in his
charge to the Bichland grand jury re
cently was repeated. Ho made this
startling statement: "Tho Stato of
Vermont had only thirteen homicides
in twelvo months, while your sister
county of Richland lind nino homicides
in four months."
Judge* Benet assigned two reasons
for tho frequency of homicides in South
Carolina: First, because of the false
ideas of self-defence which prevail in
the public mind and sustained by petit
juries; second, because of a w?ftirn?aa
exhibited by jury ccmm???viierii in
failing to place the names of good men
in the jury box.
If the names of good men are not
placed in the box the names of good
men well qualified as jurors cannot be
drawn from the box. In some counties
of this State, it is said, some men are
drawn year after year until they might
be called professional, jurors.
To such an extent does this condition
exist in some counties that the idea
obtains that trial by jury is a failure.
Judge Benet's charge made a pro
found impression and in calculated to
eventually bear fruit.
It is now to be hoped that the Judges
who follow will make similar charges
until a healthier sentiment prevails.

Wc had thc pleasure ol' attending

praise is due for four bouts of laughter
ami listening ti? some excellent

I Mulligin, Prof. W. E. Lott, and Miss
Hird. Ducworth, of Lebanon, furnished
thc music, which was grand and added
much to the pleasure of thc hour. Miss
Nora kindly gave, us a program, which
enabled us to tell what was coming.
They had about thirty pieces in all,
but we laughed more over "Courting
of Mother Goose,'* "The Matrimonial
Hunt,''and the negro pieces than any

Last Friday wc went'to school with

many friends while in school there,
