The case now comes up to the United States Supreme Court on the appellant's plea that the property was not subject to customs duties, the Philippines being, as he con- tends, a part of the United” Btates. Mr. Harmon directed the early part of his ar- gument to setting forth the fundamental principles of equality which had been enunciated by the Declaration of Inde- pendence. The chief points urged in his argument were: By the treaty of peace between the United States and Spain the Philippines became a part of the Unite States; the Government ‘and the citizens of the United States both entered sald islands under the authority of the consti tution, with their respective rights de fined and marked out; the former can ex ercise no power over the person or prop erty of a citizen of the United States be- yond what that instrument confers, nor jawfully deny any right which it has re- served. Belng a part of the United States, the Philippine Islands are subject to the provisions of clause 1, section 8, article I, and of elauses 5 and 6, section 9, article I of the constitution of the United States. And as there is nothing definitely stipu- lated in the treaty with respect to com- merce, it became Instantly bound and Fri\'l]figod by the laws which Congress had passed tos raise a revenue from ties on imports and tonnage The President of the United States has no legislative power. The imposition of customs duties upon commerce between these islands and other parts of the United States after the treaty of peace and exchange of ratifications by execu- tive order is without lawful authority, and the seizures of the property of the plaintiff in_error, a citizen of the United States, under such pretended authority, constifutes a taxing of his property with- out due process of law. Part of United States. Mr. Harmon elaborated these main points, citing and discussing many decl- =lons in support of them. In the course of his argument Mr. Harmon conceded that Congress could govern the new territories in any way It saw fit, so long as the form of government came within the constitu- tion; 1t might be by a governor of gov- ernor general, or by a commission, so long as the form was not repugnant to the constitution. Mr. Harmon declared that both the Philippines and Porto Rico are now and have been since the treaty took affect a part of the United States. They are the property of the United States in the sense that they are held in trust for the people thereof. The trust is an express one, in that its conditions are fixed by the con- stitution. The builders of the republic did not frame a consiitution for the orig- inal thirteen States, but for all the lands and peoples which in the beneficent worik- ings of divine Providence shall come un- der its benign influence and control. Griggs Begins Argument. Attorney General Griggs followed, pre- senting_the Governments position in the case. He began in quiet and conversa- tional style, seldom rcsorting to gesture | or emphasis. He said that as counsel had been “wandering in the fields and pluck- ing the flowers of cloquence” he would first give a plain statement of the issues involved. Among those who came in to hear the Attorney General was Repre- sentative Littlefleld of Malne, whose speech in the Porto Rico debate was one of the most notable expressions on the status of the new insular possessions. The Attorney General contended that the United States has the power to ac- quire territory; that having acquired it, it has the right to govern it; that admin- strative construction, Congressional ac- tion and judicial precedent afirm that every port in a ceded country s properly regarded as foreign until laws are ex- tended by Congress to the new posses- slons; that the clause of thé constitution of the United States 'ie(‘lm’ins duties uni- form throughout the United States s not applicable to new possessions, and that the constitution does not extend of its dwn force over acquired territory. Referring to the legal aspect ol? the case he asserted that the Dingley act applied to merchandise imported from Porto Rico and_the Philippines after their cession to the United States, the same as it did before, and that in view of the fact that the tariff laws are in rem there is no principle of justice, much less of con- etitutional restriction, which forbids Con- gress from taxing in this way the mer- chandise of outlylng possessions of the United States when brought into the ports of the Union, Taking up the constitutional question, the Attorney General declared that there was no doubt that it was the intention of the Paris treaty not to make the ceded islands a part of the United States, and also that it was Intended not to make the inhabitants of those islands citizens. Justice Brewer inquired of the Attorney General soon after he had begun if he maintained that Arizona and New Mexi- co came into the same category with the new possessions and the limitations could be placed upon them. Mr. Griggs said he would later consider how far the terri- torfes In thig country and those beyond the sea rested on the same basis. As the Attorney-General proceeded, he warmed up to his subject, at times speak- ing with great emphasis and pounding home his points b;; resounding blows on the tahlg before him. Secretary Gage came in during the latter part of the day. Mr. Griggs’ argument was not concluded when, at 4:30 p. m., the court adjourned until to-morrow. Mr. Griggs will conclude to-morrow, and Mr. Aldrich will close the cases for the plaintiffs. 2 e e e e e T ) SUBSIDY BILL IS SURE TO PASS —_————— Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 18.—In spite of the tremendous attack being made upon the shipping bill, disregarding the claims made by agents of foreign steam- ship lines and owners of foreign built ships, and brushing aside as unimportant the widely advertised opposition of Sen- ators who are engaged in the policy of obstruction, Senator Hanna said emphati- cally to-night that the ship subsidy bill | would pass the Senate. The Ohio Senator made this assertion at the close of a day unusually full of rumors as to what this Senator would do and what that Senator had done. It was reported that Senator McMillan of Michigan intended to_ offer three or four ame ents to the bill, and would be aided in pressing his amendments by such powerful men as Senators Spoomer, Alli- son and Hale. Senator McMillan's amendments were understood to provide for the reduction of the number of years the y 18 to ryn, for a large reduction of the amount of the subsidy to be paid, and for the striking out of the discriminating rates of bounty to be paid in favor of speed and of the g‘rollu c-pn:.l.tx :l cargo, which is y occu y passenger room in fast American liners.

Previous to taking up the treaty the Senate, for the purpose of clearing its cal- endar, disposed of several other treaties of comparatively little importance. Five conventions in all were ratified. Among the documents thus disposed of was an agreement supplementary to the Hay- Pauncefote treaty itself and extending the time within which it may be ratified. Un- der the terms of the original treaty the time for ratification expired five months | a0« The agreement favorably passed u})v:m to-day extends the time until the 4th of March, during which the treaty may be completed. Senator Lodge, who had the matter In charge, manifested some anxiety over this treaty, and evidently was somewhat relieved when it went through without a dissenting vote. The other treaties ratified were: Ex- tending for one year the time within which the commercial treaty with Argen- tina may be ratified; extending for a year the time within which the treaty with Great Britain for reciprocity with Jama- ica may be ratified; the new extradition treaties with Bolivia and Chile. When the Hay-Pauncefote treaty was taken up attention was given to the reso- lution offered in open session earlier in the day by Senator Tillman calling for the correspondence between this Government and the Government of Colombia relative to the right of the United States to con- struct a canal across Colombian territory. The resolution was agreed to after it was amended at the instance of Senator Morgan so as to also call for all the corre- spondence with the Pan-American Canal | Company, including all offers on the part | of that company and all negotiations with it concerning the Panama canal. | “Senator Bard of California gave notice | of an amendment which he will offer to | the treaty providing that the United | States shall have the right to “diserimi- <% | nate in favor of American goods shipped | through the canal in American vessels en- | gaged In the coastwise trade.” Senator Foraker's speech, from first to | last, was a defense .of the Hay-Paunce- | fote treaty, and he took occasion to praise | in high terms Secretary Hay, who, he sajd, is not only an accomplished gentle- man ard scholarly man, but a patriot and a statesman of a high order. Senator Foraker said he had differed from the Secretary in some respects as to the pol- icy to be pursued, but any fair-minded man must recognize that in negotiating the pending treaty the Becretary of State had accepted conditions as he found them,and that in falling into the policy of neutrality he had only followed. historic precedents. As for himself, he had al- ways favored an American policy in deal- ing with the question of the construction of the canal, but ro one who would give the least attention to the subject could not fail to see that the neutral policy had been the policy of this country in the past. He contended for the safety of the ca- ral even though it should not be fortified, for it was absurd, he said, to suppose that any enemy would attempt to sail its ships through a canal 175 miles long and owned, controlled and policed by this Goy- ercment when actual hostilities were in progress. In this connection he called at- tention to the fate of the Maine, which was on a ceful mission, and had been arckored in a harbor of a country with which, at the time, we were at peace. Senstor Morgan traversed much of the ground he had covered in his previous ar- fumems in support of the Hay-Paunce- ote treaty. He referred to the protocols afirped to between Nicaragua and Costa Rica regarding the canal, and said that the ratification of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty was a debt we owed to them. Those countries, if they should see fit, might rise up and refuse to allow us to do any- thing; hence we could not afford to do anything that would offend them. For this reason we would have the neutrality of the canal assured and the pending treaty ratified. RS U ISt SENATOR SULLIVAN IS WHO WAS MARRIED MARY NEWMAN ATKINS OF TH.

If such was the purpose of that treaty It fafled, not only for that reason, but also because it was flagrant usurpation on the part of the great nations that made the agree- ment and was condemned, as it still is repro- | bated by the morality of hations. Whether we will abide by and perform such a covenant is a conflict between morals and manners that our people will not suffer to deprive them of com- mercial liberty, the security of peace and the pursuit of happiness.

ADVERTISEMENTS. BRITISH IRE IS AROUSED. Times Protests Against the Death of the Hay-Pauncefote Treaty. LONDON, Dec. 19.—The Times, revert- ing to the subject of the Isthmian canal, in view of the fact that the American Benate will vote on the Hay-Pauncefote treaty Thursday, adopts a much stronger attitude on the question than it took In its previous comment It says it is in- formed by the New York correspondent that Great Britain's calm attitude is mis- represented, perhaps misunderstood, In some quarters as symptoms of indiffer- ence, and adds: ‘“The error is absurd. It betrays on the part of those who may honestly hold it curious unfamiliarity with our habits and methods of action. We are not in the least indifferent to the canal scheme. We are perfectly calm about the vote on the Davis amendments and possible vote on the more offensive amendments because we know that our 1 and moral position is unassailable. We have not agreed and we are not going to agree to the proposed variation of our treaty rights save upon terms acceptable | to_ourselves.” The paper refers to the vote on the Da- vis amendments as a practical repudiation | of the most essential provision of the | Clayton-Bulwer treaty, and it accepts the probability of the Senate sanctioning other amendments invoiving explicit re- pudiation of that convention. The Times discusses McKinley's posi- tion relatively to that of the Senate. It declares that if the President has the courage of his convictions and adheres to them, the Senate’s action will not acquire international importance. It says it doos not doubt if McKinley a ed boldly to the people, explaining the situation, they SENT FREE TO MEN! A Most Remarkable Remedy That Quickly Restores Lost Vigor to Men. A Free Trial Package Sent by Mail to All Who Write. Free trial packages of a most remarka- ble remedy are being mailed to all who will write the State Medical Institute. They cured so many men who had bat- tled for years against the mental and physical suffering of lost manhocd that the Institute has decided to dis:ribute free trial packages to all who write. It is a home treatment, and all men who | suffer from any form of sexual weakness resulting from youthful folly, premature loss of strength and memory, weak back, varicocele or emaciation of parts can aow | cure themselves at home. The remedy has a pecuilarly grateful effect of warmth and seems to act direct to the desired location, giving strengtn and development just where it s needed. It cures all the {118 and troubles .hat come from years of misuse of the natural func- tions and has been an absolute suczess in all cases. A request to. the Stato Medical Institute, 328 Elektron bulldirg, ' Fort Wayne, Ind., stating that you desire one of thelr free trial packages, wiil be com- plied with promptly. The Institute is de- sirous of reaching that grea: class of mea who are unable to leave home to be treat- ed, and the free sample will enable them to'see how eagy it is to be cured of sex- ual weakness when the proper remedies are employed. The Institute makes no re- strictions. Any man who writes will be sent a free sample, carefully sealed in a lain package, So that its recipient need Klva no fear of embarrassment or public- v{mxd support him and Hay. It con- cludes: “The Senators, we are told, In their pres. ent mood will ratify no treaty with Eng- land but a treaty of surrender. In that case the Hay-Pauncefote treaty s doomed and we will be relegated to our rights under the Clayvton-Bulwer treaty. @ shall stand upon those rights.
