weishty questions to be Settled.

WelRnLY duebIlOho w No
Before the close OF the session OF
the Supreme Court OF the United
States which began on the eighth
OF October, it is expected that 8
number OF important cases arising
out OF the acquisition OF Puerto
Rico, Hawaii, and the Philippines,
and involving the questions whether
the inhabitants Of those islands OBJ
tanned the rights of American citi-
zsns in relation to free trade with
aud migration to the mainland, will
be settled by the highest legal auth
ority.
Two Of the most important cases
were advanced on the court calen-
dar and set down FIR a hearing on
November 18th. One 10 the case OF
= New York tobacco importer
named Goethe. He brought in a
quantity OF tobacco from Puerto
Rico which was charged the Gus
toms duty provided by the Puerto
Rican tar. If act OF last winter. His
protest being denied by the board
OF general appraisers, he carried the
case TO the district court for the
southern district of New York.
That court affirmed the decision Of
the appraisers, and his final appeal
is now before the sspreme court,
the plaintiff claiming constitu-
tional right of free trade with
Puerto Rico.
A Philippine case, involving trade,
is that of one Pepke, soldier re-
turned from the islands. who
brought with him from Manila four.
teen diamond rings. He was arrest
ed at Chicago for smuggling, and
the diamonds confiscated. His APP
peal to the supreme court is on the
ground that the islands we're part
of the United States, and no duty
could therefore be levied.
On the question OF migration,
various decisions have been render
ed iu the lower courts, aud another
has been added by a recent deci-
sion OF Judge E.tee, in Hawaii. A
Chinese cook had shipped in an
American vessel from New York,
under an agreement TO be returned
to some American port. The own
ers sold the vessel in Honolulu, and
discharged the crew, and the China
mau was refused a landing. The
matter being brought into the Unit
ed States court, Judge Estee decid-
cd that Honolulu is an American
port; that the Chinaman had a
right TO land there. and TO 90
thence to any other American port
"a decision which, il sustained,
would open the door to all Chinese
rightfully in Hawaii or the Philip
pines.
In still later case Judge E,tee
has decided that a man named
Marshall, convicted OF criminal libel
between the time OF annexation and
the fourteenth Of June last, when
the territorial act went into effect,
was properly tried under Hawaiian
laws; that he was not entitled TO
the benefts Of the American Con-
stitution, and incidentally that tie
constitution had not followed the
flag into the islands previous to &C.
tion by Congress. The two latter
cases are not yet before the su.
preme court, but the same ques-
tions are there aud should be speed
lily determined.-S. +. Argonaut.
