Third—He must disarm and disband the Chinese soldiers, delivering to the Rus- sians all ammunition in such arsenals as the Russians have not yet occuplied, Fourth—All forts and defenses in the province not occupied by the Russians and all powder magazines not required by them must be dismantled in the pres- ence cf Russian officials.

Ninth—The Russian text shall be- the standard. “The functions given the Russian resi- dent,” says Dr. Morrison, “are similar to thhse of the Russian residents in Bok- hara or those of the British residents in the native States of India. “The agreement will necessarily be fol- lowed by similar agreements with refer- ence to two other provinces.

TGRS WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.—The first briefs to be filed In the cases involving the rela- tion of the United States to its insular possessions, which are to be argued in the Supreme Court next week, were submitted to-day. There are eight of the cases and briefs were filed in the cases of Carlos | Armstrong and of Samuel B. Downes. In both cases the briefs represent the par- ties opposing the contentions of the Gov- ernment. » | Armstrong is a British subject doing business in Ponce, P. R., and he sues to recover tariff duties collected on goods | Imported into Forto Rico from New York Philadelphia & Baltimore. The Court of Claims deci st him and he ap- | peals from ion. The brief in | this case was filed by John C. Chancy on behalf of Mr. Armstron; The plea is made in the brief that the | collection of dutie stances, a violatiorn the United State: ¥y the Paris treaty the island of Porto Rico be- came a portion of the United States. The | brief lays down the following propositions the basis of the appeilant's conten- ‘ tions: The constitution of the United States reaches {over every portion of the national domain, vhether in the form of Stites, Territories or istricts. because the constitution provides for The cession ¥ ¥ of Parls pro- | duced an cbsolute change of title and sover- | etgnty in Pc Rico. The Pres| of ‘the United States is an executive of He has no rignt to exercise | legtslative functions. The _imposition by | executive order of customs dutfes on com- | merce between the island of Porto Rico and | | ctier parts of the United Stetes after the treaty of peace gnd the exchange | tions " is unauthorized and void and the colle | tion of such duties is without warrant of law. A government without limitations was never | intended by the founders of the nation. sought to establish and did establish a con- | stitutional republic, which furnishes a writter: { guarantee of protection to all of its inhabi- tafte. The idea that in one portion of the country the executive and Iegisiative authority is subject to restrictions and limitations and that in another portion It i% without any re- striction or limitation—that in one part a re- publican government exists and in another part an unlimited despotism, s repugnant to the They | | | | theory - upon which the Government was founded. = Everv inhabitant is entitled to the protection afforded by the biil of rights. A large portion of the brief is devoted to the refutation of the doctrine lald down by the Attorney General in the Goetee case, recently srgued by him in the Su- preme Court to_the effect that the Gov- ernment of the United States should have an unlimited hand in control of territory outside of the States. Replying to this declaration, Mr, Chaney says: Mr. McKinley is the President of the United States—the President of its territory and its people. He is not the President of other ter- ritory or people and he is the despot of no peo- | ple and no territory. He was never elected or | commissioned the despot of anybody or any- thing. The Congress {s the Congress of the United States—the fongress of the territory and the | people of she United States. It is not the Congress of any other territory or people. It is omnipotent nowhere on the face of the earth. It was created by the people of the United States under a constitution specifically pointing out fts powers and duties. Tt exists by vir- tue of that constitution, as does also thePresi- | dential office. | "It s omnipotent nowhere. The only omni- | potent thing this side of heaven is the conmsti- | tution formulated by the fathers out of times which proved the necessi{# of providing against | despotism in the Presidential office and again | the omnipotence of men representing the peo- ple of the United States. | "One would Lirvk to hear the arguments ad- }\'nncefl by the Covernment that there are no | restrictions or lifmftations of any sort upon | Congress or the President, so far as the Terri- | torles are concernsd, They may give to | Alaska__ abrolute monarchy: they may give | to the Hawalian Islands a republic; they may | give to Porto Rico such a government as Wey- {ler would provide. They may give to the | Philippines a form of government after the plan of Turkey and ina. They may estab- lish a republic in one part and a monarchy in another. = They may deny to the unfortunate inhabitants of these islands all the recognized rights and privileges which characterize the | codes of civilized nations. In short, they may restore all the relics of barbarism and there | 1a no power on earth to stop or control them. It 18 no answer to ‘this to say that the Con- gress is too enlightened and the President too merciful to commit such acts of tyranny and oppression. That does not change the ques- tion. We contend that no such right exists; | that Congress in its government of Territories | 15 “ltself “subject to constitutional limitations and that the people of those Territorles or eolonies are protected by these limitations and that they may themseives appeal to that in- | strument for protection. | The brief in the Downes case was flled | by F. R. Coudert Jr. In this case excep- ! tion is faken to the imposition of duties | on goods imported into the United States from Porto Rico. Mr. Coudert, quoting the decision of the Supreme Court in the Cherokee Nation case, asks: “If the Paris treaty did not | make Porto Rico a part of the United | States, how could the Congress of the | United States be vested with the right to | legislate for it and to determine the civil | rights and political status of its native in- habitants." Replying to his_ own question, Mr. oudert said: “The Congress of the Tnited States is not vested by the consti- tution and cannot, therefore, be invested | 1 | Ce a forelgn country.” - Mr. Coudert also suggests the possibility of an amendment to the constitution, say- ing: “Nor need there be any concern with reference to expediency. If the people of the United States deem it ex- pedient that the additional powers exer- cised by their temporary agents should approved and should be continued to thelr successors, the people can so ordain. The constitution has l_gmvldefl an easy method for their so ordaining. It has not established the Su‘)rema Court for that purpose. A constitutional amendment, it demanded by the people, can be pre- sented in Congress and ratified by the Legislatures in less time than it will take this court to unravel and determine the momentous questions involved in this case. If a revolution in our method of vernment and in the principles or which this Government stands is to be made, it should made by the power which is at the base of all govemment—the people—for whose bene- t the Government {8 made. It certainl: should not be done by a court intend to be a conservator of all our institutions and not the voice of the people to change :Pe form and character of those institu- ons.”" NEW CLEW IN THE RICHARDSON MURDER George Vaught, the Sweetheart of Bessie Phyllis, to Be Closely Questioned. - 8T.

SPOKANE, Jan. 2.—The Great North- ern has secured a monopoly of the vast British Columbia coal flelds near the Crowsnest Pass. To-day at St. Paul, Mr. Hill arranged to purchase the prop- erty of the Crowsnest Pass Coal Com- pany, for a price. approximately $5,000,000. The detalls of the transfer were arranged after several days’ conference with Presi- dent Cox of Torontc and other heavy stockholders of the Crowsnest Company. The property includes 216,000 acres of land. Extensive development has been done on these properties, which are now shipping 1500 tons daily. The coal is bf fine quality and tests on the Great Northern show it is excellent for locomotives. The Great Northern has purchased from the Canadian Government 10.000 acres of coal lands ten miles south of the Crows- nest fields. Following these purchases, the an- nouncement is made of the intention of the Great Northern to bulld a railroad to the property. The road will start at Great Falls, Mont., run northwesterly across the main line near Blackfoot and thence to a connection with the Canadian Pacific near Livingston. In the past few weeks the Great North- ern has had surveyors in the field seeking a feasible route. This, it Is said, they have found. It is understood here that the construction of the road will menced at the earliest possible date this xgnng. The proposed road will not only shorten thé distance between the Crows- nest coke ovens and the Great Falls smelter but will open a country rich in timber resources. INTERESTS THE COAST.
