Reversed by tho suprcmc court.

WASHINGTON, May 16.-In the case of
Hill against the United States, in which
the defendant erected lighthouse on the
private property of the complainant on the
shores of the Chesapeake bay, Maryland,
the supreme court reversed the decision of
the court below The question was whether
the property remained within the jurisdic-
ton of the state of Maryland, the United
States claiming that the act regulating
commerce gave it the right to erect light
houses on shoals on the coasts of the
United States

the Infanta at New York, or remain
IN Washington and receive her at the
White House in the same simple manner
In which other distinguished persons have
been received. The Infanta's decision to
continue her journey to America, it is
therefore assumed was not influenced by
any unusual concessions to Spanish royal
etiquette promised in advance by the
United States authorities.
The president is said to be thoroughly in
favor of doing all that can be done to pay
proper honor to the Infanta during her
visit. but he wants to do it in the Ameri-
can way The royal lady is due in New
York on May 10, and the time intervening
will give plenty of opportunity for the ar
rangencnt of the details of her reception.
