STATE TARIFF PROTECTION.
To Force Foreign" Business Men to Quilt
or Pay Extra Tax.

Washington, Nov. The United
States supreme court announced its de-
cision sustaining the constitutionality
of that feature of the tax laws of New
York which lays a tax on foreign cor
porations doing business in the state.
according to the capital employed The
case was instituted against James a
Roberts. comptroller of the state of
New York, to test the law and to va
cate an assessment made on the capital
of a large western drug house having
branch in New York city. The lower
court sustained the validity of the law,
and the supreme court now affirms this
decision.
Judge Shiras. in announcing the
COURTS opinion. said the law was settled
that state may impose such condi-
tions for permitting a foreign corpora
ton TO do business within it's limits
as Il may Judge expedIent, and that il
may make the grant dependent upon
the payment of a specific license tax, or
sum proportioned to the amount of it's
capital used within the state. This was
not. the court held. a discrimination
against the products of outside states.
Justice Harlan announced the dissent
Of himself and Justice Brown. He said
the former decisions OF this court had
been uniform against state laws which
favored domestic firms. corporations or

Most of the papers are full of alleged
war preparations despite the undoubted
fact that the authorities are doing their
best to discourage publication. and are
even denying statements that have al

mental mobilization of the defense
forces. All the heights and forts were
smartly occupied in a manner giving
satisfaction. The arsenal at Woolwich

Paris in the special dispatches this

known regarding the situation at Fa-

for Major Marchand. The idea prevails
at the French capital that Count Muir
avief, the Russian foreign minister,

Russian support in reopening the whole
Egyptian question, and that Major
Marchand will be instructed to fall back
and maintain his occupation of all

Paris, Nov. 1.-The French papers

peace commissions from Spanish
sources. Therefore, the morning pa
pers are interesting as indicating the
atmosphere in Spanish quarters and
the trend of French views. Referring
to yesterdays meeting the Matin

day, but it is easy 20 see that it will
be refusal. precise and formal The
Spanish potentiaries have made up
their minds in the event of the United
States adverting to the Philippines
proposition, to decline signing the
act of peace, break off negotiations
and call upon the civilized nations to
witness the abuse of force to which
they will be subjected. and in viola
tion of the provisions set forth in the
Washington protocol.
Cabinet Proceedings.
Washington, Nov. 1.-The cabinet
devoted most of it's attention to con-
sideration of questions connected
with the administration of affairs in
Cuba and Porto Rico, also to some ex-
tent to those of the Philippines.
Nothing was heard from the COM
missioners at Paris as to yesterdays
proceedings, and nothing is expected
until Friday.
While the cabinet today gave little
attention to peace negotiations at
Paris, there is no longer any doubt as
TO the general purpose of the govern
ment to retain the entire Philippine
archipelago. If after the final bal
ancing of accounts, that is, the cost
of the war on one side, and our ac-
quisitions on the other, it is
found any compensation is due
Spain, it will be made in
lump sum. 1t is still believed by
a majority of the cabinet that Spain
will accept the terms laid down by the
United States after haggling to get the
last dollar of indemnity possible If,
however, Spain should break off nego-
tiations, it would merely be left for
the United States to take complete
possession of the Philippines, which,
il is believed can he done without
difficulty or the loss of life. Even the
insurgents would he more than a
match for Spain's military force in
the islands.
