ANN ARBOR. Mich, Dec. H.-The lee
ture Gen. Harrison delivered this after
noon before the Students Lecture as
sociation, of Michigan, was upon the
theme of the relation of the annexed
territories and their civilized Inhabitants
to the United States. 1t was, as Gen,
Harrison, asserted, not intended to be a
legal argument Oh questions brought into
discussion by the Porto Rican bill, but
a popular discussion of some of the
views that have been expressed in rela-
ton to the standing of our annexed ter
ritories. The lecturer said we had done
something out of line with our historical
precedents-not in the way of expansion,
but in the character of it. He said we
had taken over peoples rather than land
as heretofore. He held the view that the
civilized inhabitants of the territories
We're citizens of the United States, and
that the revenue provisions of the con-
stitution, relating to taxation for federal
purposes applied to the territories.
The occurrence for the recent departure
from precedents was found, he said, es-
pecially in the character of the inhabi-
tants of the Philippines. AS to Porto
Rico and Hawaii there would probably
have been no occasion found for treat
ing them otherwise than we have uSu-
ally done. The competition of our home
products, especially the freedom of the
FiipinoS to settle in the states, We're
causes of alarm. This consideration, he
said might have appropria tely had in
fuence when the question of taking over
the Philippines was before us, but it was
now too late.
CONSTITUTION SUPREME.
He agreed that the provision of the
Spanish treaties, and of all treaties were
subject to the constitution and could
not impair it. and if the territories were
part of the United States by the consti-
the revenue clause which was particu-
larly under discussion in the Porto Rican
act applied He agreed that the limita-
tions in the constitution upon the powers
of congress, whether in the affirma tive
of negative form, applied to the exercise
of that power in all places, that the very
object in the section requiring duties to
be uniform throughout the United States
which was to prevent congress from
establishing anywhere in the jurisdiction
of the United States Favored ports, would
be thwarted if foreign goods might be
admitted to Porto Rico free and thence
into the United States free. He -pecially
dWelt upon the liberty clause of the
constitution as the natural application to
civilized peoples owing allegiance to the
United States.
The lecture may be taken as being an
exposition of what Gen. Harrison meant
whom he said that the Porto Rican. leg
islation was a grave departure from
right principles.

JESSIE MORRISON
Jury DISCHARGED


ELDORADO, Kan, Dec. 14-Jessie
Morrison's trial for the murder of Mrs.
Olin Castle, whose life she is charged
with having taken of her love for Caste,
ended today at noon in a hung jury.
Although the jury did not agree on a
verdict, the result of their deliberations
came near being an acquittal Almost
from the start, and before the case had
been discussed by them, nine of the
jurors voted for acquittal and three for
conviction, the three holding out for
manslaughter in the fourth degree, tIf
punishment for which ranges from six
months in jail to two years in the peni-
tentiary. The jurors had been out since
Tuesday morning, and for the last three
days, realizing that they could not reach
verdict, they had waited patiently for
their discharge. The case will go over to
the spring court. in the meantime Miss
MOrrison's lawyers will make application
for her release on bond, which, it is be-
lieved, Judge Shinn has already made up
his mind to grant. 1t is not believed that
another jury could be secured in the
county to try the case. Miss Morrison.
