SOME OF those who now profess to

that they cannot rest satisfied until U.

A decision of no little Importance
has been rendered by the Supreme
Court of the United States in refer
ence to the power of states to tax for
eign corporations doing business with
in their limits. The decision was rem
dered in case instituted against the
comptroller of the state of New York
to vacate an assessment made on the
capital Of a large western drug house
having a branch in New York city. The
validity of the New York law was sus-
tanned by the Supreme Court in af-
firmance of the decision rendered be-
low. Judge Shiras, who announced the
decision of the court. said that the law
was settled that state might impose
such conditions for permitting a for
eign corporation to do business within
its limits as it might deem expedient,
and that it might make the grant de-
pendent upon the payment Of spe-
.ci6c license tax or sum proportional
to the use Of its capital used within
the state, and that this did not consti-
tute q discrimination against the prod
ucts Of other states.

Washington, Dec. 80. - Immediately
upon the ratification of the peace
treaty by the senate the president will
recommend to congress the enactment
Of legislation looking to the settle
ment Of the claims of American citi-
Zens FOR damages sustained in Cuba,
Porto Rico and other Spanish possess
sions which formed the seat of war.
These claims, to the amount of $780,
100000 on this score, have already
been lodged with the state department.
1t is true that an unknown proportion
Of these claims, based on depredations
committed by Cuban insurgents, for
which it is questionable whether the
Spanish government could be held re-
sponsible. On the other hand, it is be-
lieyed that there are many claims for
large amounts that have not yet been
presented owing to the inability Of the
claimants to secure the necessary cor
roborative evidence during the Span
ish occupation Of the evacuated terri
tories or because of the belief that it
would be fruitless to present any claim
maintained. Now, however, by an
article in the treaty Of Paris, the
United States has assumed liability
for all claims preferred by it's citizens
OH account Of depredations, or, in fact,
on any proper score. In turn the
Spanish assumed liability for any
claim that might have been made on
account of Spanish citizens or the
Spanish government itself against the
United States.

Washington, Dec. 31.-The war de-
partment is expecting definite word
from Gen. Otis within the next twenty
four hours as to what has occurred at
noilo. BY that time Gen. Otis will
have heard from Gen. Miller, in COM
mand Of the American force sent on
this expedition. The officials about
the war department do not appear to
be apprehensive over the results, and
there Is no evidence of tension or alarm
although it is recognized that the stu
alton at Iloilo is one which may bring
about sharp and, possibly, decisive
issue between the insurgents and the
United States forces. Up to the close
Of Office hours it was said at the war
department that nothing had been re-
ceived from Gen. Otis bearing on the
military situation. All that had come
was q response to an earlier dispatch
conveying orders, the reply giving as
surance that definite news could be
conveyed within the next twentyfour
hours. What Gen. Miller will do as to
taking possession of the city, either
with force or without. is not officially
disclosed, and. indeed. it is likely that
considerable discretion is lodged with
the commanding officer as to what
steps should be taken. But in the
event of a clash between the United
States forces and the insurgents war
department officials say there could be
no doubt as to the outcome, rs the
Eighteenth infantry are among the reg
ulars having a reputation FOR their
fighting ability. The American force
numbers about $500 as against an es-
dmated force of some 10000 insur-
gents, but no doubt is expressed as to
the adequacy Of our force.
Bring Them to Their Senses.
London, Dec. 31.-The Chronicle, ed
itorially discussing the situation at
Iloilo, says: cit would be advisable
for the insurgents to defy the -Alneri-
cans. The issue would then be square
ly raised and settled once for all i'll one
short, sharp action, which would prob
ably bring the crazy Filipinos to their
senses. After this the men of peace
could proceed to their business"
