THE u. s. SUPREME COURT
Refund Of Duty, Pad on Bags Containing
Grain Ordered.
DerisiOn in the Fayerweather Case
in the Interest of the Colleges
Virginia Coupons.

The United States Supreme Court yester.
day took the unusual course of indicating
to the court below the form of"verdict to be
rendered in a case. The case is that of
Raidlett & Stone for the refundng of money
paid as duty upon 2.229.Ge0 bags. which
were returned to the United States after
having been used for the expectation of
grain. The customs authorities imposed
duty upon them the ground that the
bags were of foreign manufacture and the
courts below sustained this action, the case
coming to this court from the circuit court
of appeals from the fifth circuit. The opin-
ion rendered today reverses the opinion OF
the court of appeals, directing the prepara-
ton of verdict ordering that one-fourth
OF the amount paid be refunded, as % per
cent of the bags were of American manu-
facture. The opinion was handed down by
Chief Justice Fuller.
The Fayerweather Case.
In the matter of the petition of Emma S.
Fayerweather for a writ of mandamus and
a restraining order to be directed to the
circuit court of the southern district of
New York the court refused to make
the order The case involves the bequest
of the late William G.. Fayerweather to Il
number of educational institutions. Today'S
opinion is in the interest of the colleges.
Virginia Coupons Legal Tender.
Justice Brewer handed down an opinion
reversing the opinion of the supreme court
of appeals of Virginia in the case of A. a.
Mccullough against the commonw ealth OF
Virginia. The case involved the validity
of the state laws concerning the state cou-
pons issued under the act Of 1871. McCul-
Tough rendered some of these coupons in
payment of his taxes. They were not ac-
cepted by the state authorities, and the
state supreme court sustained this refusal.
Today's opinion reverseS this action of the
state court, holding that the coupons We're
a legal tender for taxes in the state. Jus
tice Peckham rendered a dissenting opinion
on the ground of want of jurisdiction.
Territorial Rights.
An opinion was rendered by Justice Nc
kenna in the case of the territory of New
Mexico against the United States Trust
Company and the receiver Of the Atlantic
and Pacific railroad. The case involved the
right of the territorial authorities to tax
the improvements of the railroad company
on its right of way without taxing the right
Of way itself The decision did not sustain
this contention, but affirmed the decision
of the territorial supreme court adverse TO
the taxation of the improvements.

MAUSERS VS.. KRAG-JORGENSENS
Some Comparisons Recently rIade by
Experts at the Springfield Arsenal.

While no decision has yet been made
as to what shall be done with the Span
ish Mauser rifles which arrived at the
United states arsenal recently. IL is
expected that, after having beencfeaned
and repaired. these weapons will be sold
To the public as curiosities.
Officials at the arsenal state that these
Spanish guns besides being i'm every
way inferior to the Krag- -Jorgenson
rifles used by our regular army. show
rough and ignorant usage at the hands
of the spanish soldiers.
The main difference between the
Krag and the Mauser is that. while both
are bolt-guns. the former has a maya
zine which, filled with five cartridges.
can be cut Oft so aS to make the rifle
practically single shooter: the latter's
magazine cannot be so cut off. IL is.
therefore, really a repeating rifle. Fur
thermore, i'm the Krag the bolt is
tan application Of power similar tn that
used on chainless bicycles). while with
the Mauser the man has 10 compress
the main spring by direct force.
1t is probable that these Mausers
will be sold for not less than Sl5 apiece.
so that for every one sold the Govern
mcnt will be little more than reim-
bursed for the manufacture of one
g-Jorgenson. which, as made at the
arsenal costs Sl4.50.
Several Krags have arrived at the ar
senal for repairs. after having been
used by rough riders. They show that
they can stand very hard usage with
out impairing their efficiency, proving
thereby the excellence of their pattern
manufacture and material There are
two. which after having been carried
through the surf. filed with sand. and
wet with water. and after having gone
through all the fighting, were quite
ready for use just as they were when
they arrived without any cleaning or
oillng. The butt OF one OF these-car-
bin, pattern-was split and perforated
by Mauser bullet. which most likely
bored hole also through the arm of
whatever rough rider held the gun at
the time.
one of the reasons for the inferiority
OF the Mausers is that they are made
by contract by firm I'm Berlin, Ger
many. while our guns are made at the
Springfield Arsenal under the direct SUI
pervision of ordnance officers. our guns
are therefore exactly alike, one TO the
other. while the material and work
manship ~ the Spanish rifles show
many degrees OF quality.-Springfield
Union.
