ously contemplating rendering his

Mckinley Bill Upheld.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20. = The
United States Supreme Court has
affirmed the judgments of the New
York and Illinois Circuit Courts Of
the United States in favor of the
constitutionality of the Mckinley
Act.
The three cases in which i'm
porters sought to test the constitu-
tionality of the Mckinley tariff
act were those of Boyd, Sutton &
Co. and Herman Sternbach q Co.,
each vs. the United States and Joel
B. Erhardt, Collector of the port of
New York, and Marshall, Field &
Co. VS.. Clark, Collector of the port
of Chicago. The grounds on which
it was maintained that the tariff
was unconstitutional were that the
tobacco rebate section of the bill
had been omitted in it's enrolment,
after passage by Congress, and
therefore that the bill signed by
the President was not the bill
passed by the legislative depart
ment of the Government; that the
reciprocity feature was a transmits
sion to the executive of the law
making power, and, therefore, void
vitiating the whole act, and, lastly
that the act was void because Of
the sugar bounty provision.
