AN OLD CASE.
The suit of Meyer & Dickinson Agains,
the Government Not Yet settlsd.

Philadelphia, Oct. lin the United
States circuit court of appeals today,
Judge Shiras handed down an opinion
reversing the decision of the United
States circuit court in the customs duty
case of the importing firm of Meyer &
Dickinson against the government, the
suit being commonly known as the hat
trimming case.
The decision of Judge Shiras is
against the government The firm in
1884, 1885 and 1886 imported merchandise
which it claimed was subject to duty
Of 20 per cent as trimmings. Ex-Col-
lector of Customs John Cadwallader ex-
acted duty of so per cent under para
graph 1888 of the act of March 3, 1888.
which reads: "All goods, wares and
merchandise now specifically enumer-
ated or provided for in this act, made of
silk, OF of which silk is the component
material of chief value, SO per centum
ad valorem."
AS required by the acts of congress,
the importers paid to the collector the
full amount claimed, and brought suit
in compliance with the acts of congress
to recover the difference between the
amount of duty which they claimed
should be exacted and the amount ac-
tually collected, namely, 80 per cent
The suit was brought in 1885, but it
was not tried until IL years afterwards.
This was not through any fault Of the
complainants, but because in the mean
time the question as to the proper in
depreciation of these two claims and
of the tariff act of 1883, had been the
subject of litigation, and has been car
ried by the government three times to
the supreme court of the United States,
resulting each time in a decision in ia
vor of the importer. These cases set
tied certain points. With the law ap-
parently settled with regard to the par
ticular clauses Of the tariff act and the
particular class of merchandise in
volved, the Meyer & Dickinson suit
came on to be tried.
The trial lasted 10 days, and large
number of witnesses were examined on
both sides with regard to the predomin-
ant use Of rhe articles in controversy.
The jury found for the defendant, and
Never &c Dickinson appealed. assign
ing for error the Instructions Of judge
Dallas in the circuit court, on the ques-
ton of chief use.
Under the opinion rendered today
the exceptions to Judge Dallas charge
were sustained, lie judgment of the
circuit court reversed, and the case re-
naanded TO that court with directions to
award new trial.

AG0NCILL0
He Explains
Things
IN PHILIPPINES.
United States Should Take
All or None.


Paris, Oct. 17.-Phillippo Agorcillo,
the representative of Aguinaldo, the in
surgent leader of the Philippine is
lands, was interviewed today by the
correspondent here of the Associated
Press. Agoncillo has engaged apart
ments at the Hotel Continental, on the
same floor as the rooms occupied by
the United States peace commissioners.
He is DESTROYS of seeing them and plac-
ing Aguinaldo's views of the future of
the Philippines before them.
"Would the Filipinos accept annexa-
ton or a protectorate of the United
States?" Agoncillo was asked. He an
swered: 1--WE want independence, but
the Filipinos have a recognized gov
eminent, of which Aguinaldo is presi-
dent, and it will determine our attitude
toward a protectorate or annexation. .
Should the United States take all or
part of the Philippines, would the Fill
ipinos fight the United States as they
have fought Spain?"
Il cannot answer without possible
error, but think it would be most I'M
wise for the United States 10 divide the
Philippine islands. They should take
all or none"
IF the United States gives UP the
Philippine islands, will the Filipinos
continue to fight the SPANISH"
II think so.'
us it true the F'ilipinos do not OBJ
ject to the continuance of the native
priests?'
Yes"
And what of the orders-rehgious-
would the Filipinos accept any peace
with the United States and Spain which
did not provide for the expulsion of the
orders?"
THE presence and acts of the orders
were the chief determining cause of the
instruction. II would be impossible for
the Filipinos to become reconciled with
Spain. We have vainly and repeated
ly sought the rights of citizenship, ems
ploying all legal means, and have risen
in insurrection u times in this cen-
fury to secure them, and we are now
enjoying them. Peace is only possible
under any government by the abolish
ment of the orders, which, as l nave
said, were the chief determining cause
of the abuses and oppression and,
therefore, the rebellions."
Agoncillo, contrary to the generally
accepted version of his visit in the
United States and elsewhere, says he
has not come here to seek a hearing
before the commission, but to learn tine
determination of the commissioners
regarding the Philippine islands and
to communicate it to Aguinaldo. Agon-
clio thus far has not communicated
with our commission, and the Spanish
commission, while unwilling naturally
to summon Agoncillo, is exceedingly
anxious to know what representations,
if any, he will make to the Americans.

THE WAR coMMIssIoN.
The inspection of Camps Will Be Done
BY Sub Committees.


jacksonville, Fla, Oct 1.-THE war
investigation committee arrived here
by special train direct from Washing
ton today, and the intention was an
nounced of proceeding Immediately to
Camp Cuba Libre, for the purpose of
making an inspection of the conditions
existing there. The plan for inspection
was arranged at special meeting held
in Gen. Dodge's private car on the
way, when it was decided to do this
work by means of subcommittee, as
follows: For LIST brigade of each di-
vision, Messrs. DENLY, Conner and Sex
ton; I'd brigades Messrs. McCook,
Woodbury. and Howell; Sd brigades,
Messrs. Vision, Beaver, Dodge.
subcommittee of two each were
also appointed to inspect camps and,
if necessary, take testimony at Tampa
and Fernandina, the committee for
Tampa being composed of Messrs. Nc
Cook and Sexton and that for Fernan-
dina of Messrs. Wilson and Howell.
The sub-committees for outside points
leave Jacksonville tonight or tomorrow
and the main commission, of which a
quorum will be left, will begin taking
testimony here tomorrow.
The inspection of the camp here will
include an investigation of the proxi-
nifty of the tents to one and the other
and of the tents with the streets and
all other camp conditions, the sub
committees to report their conclusions
to the full commission.
There have been some complaints
about this camp, and the authors of
these will be called, if possible, and al
lowed to tell their stories to the COM
missions. Others making complaints
after the arrival of the commission,
whether officers, privates or persons in
civil life, will be called before the COM
missions. Some investigation Of the
location Of the camp at Miami probably
win be made, but it is believed this
can be done at Jacksonville. If not a
subcommittee may be designated
later to visit that point
