SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
Touching the Immigration--The Alabama
Great Southern Case.
rBy telegraph to the Dispstch.I


(By telegraph to the Dispatch.l
WASHINGTON. January 1s.-An opinion Of
importance in It's construction OF the i'm
migration laws was rendered in the United
States supreme Court to-day in the case OF
Nishimura Ekin, appellant. rs. the United
States. Nishimura Ekin is japanese wo-
man 10 whom entry into the United States
was refused by the immigration officers
and Collector at San Francisco on the
ground that she was likely to become a
public charge. 10 was also alleged that
she was coming 20 the United States for
immoral purposes. The ruling OF the i'm
migration officers was contested, and
10 was sought TO have the Federal courts
on an application for writ of hdbeds corpus,
review tho facts In the case. The Govern
ment contended that the ruling of the
Treasury Department with reference to
entry Of immigrants was final and not re-
viewable by the courts This contention
Of the Government the Supreme Court to-
day sustains. IL holds that the Court can
only decide whether or not the INN igra-
ton officers were duly appointed and
acted in conformity with the directions OF
the act, aud that their conclusions as to
whether or not the facts with reference to
any immigrant brought such immigrant
within the classes prohibited from enter
ing the United States is renewable only
by the Treasury Department.
The Supreme Court to-day affirmed the
decision of the Court Of Claims IN favor of
the Alabama Great Southern Railway
Company for 1880, withheld from the
railroad company by order Of the Post
master-Genersl, under the act of 1876. de
claring that railroads constructed in
whole or in part 10y land grant shall, for
mail transportation. receive only 80 per
cent. of the compensation authorized. The
Postmaster-G General originally ruled that
the act applied 10 such sparts of railroad
a. had been aided by land grants. and not
90 unaided portions, This construction
continued until 1885, when Postmaster
General Villas reversed the ruling of his
predecessors, and decided that the act
applied to the whole line of a railroad
which mad been aided by land grants
for part of Its line, subjected
the entire line OF the Alabama
Great Southern Company TO the reduced
rates. and made the decision retroactive.
The Court, in an opinion by Justice Brown
in favor Of the railroad. says that II thinks
the construction given the act by slx diff
ferent administrations of the Post-Office
Department IA construction certainly con-
sorting with the equities Of the ease)
should be considered IS decisive in this
suit. Tho opinion says that it Is settled
doctrine Of the Court that IN case of am
biguity the judicial department will lean
IN favor Of tho construction given TO @
statute by the department charged with
its execution, and if such construction be
acted upon for "a number of years will look
with disfavOr upon any sudden change
whereby parties who have contracted with
the Government upon the faith OF such
construction may be preJudiced.

ing the illness of the Speaker he has held
a number OF conferences with the Democratic
