Is Lined Up For the Administration
Side.

Washington, Dec. 21,-(Spl.) Judges
understood to believe the constitution
does not follow the fiag,-McKenna,
Gray, Peckham Shiras--4.
Judges understood to believe the con-
stitution follows the hag-Brewer,
Harlan, White, Brown-4.
The determining factoi--Chief Jus.
tice Fuller.
In Congressional circles the belief is
freely expressed that at this stage the
Supreme Court of the United States is
widely divided on the Porto Rican and
Philippine tariff cases, and that the
decision will ultimately be left to Chief
Justice Fuller. Thus the court stands
either to 4 or to on the govern
ment's contention.
The Administration processes to be
very confident that the decision will
be in favor of the continuance of this
policy. The confidence of the Admin
istration followers in the Senate and
in the House, however, has been badly
shaken up by the attitude of Benjamin
Harrison and Grover Cleveland. If
these judges are hostile TO the Admin
istration's position and all Of the 9TH
ers are favorable to the Admlnistra-
tons position 1t leaves a narrow mar
jorlty of one vote. 1t Is recalled that
President Harrison appointed Justices
Brewer, Shiras and Brown, and Pres
idcnt Cleveland appointed Justices
Fuller White ana Peckham. While
no one expects that any of these judges
are likely to he Influenced by opinions
entertained by the distinguished form
er Presidents who placed them on the
bench, it Is nevertheless an interesting
fact that two:thirds of the justices of
the supreme court owe their appoint
ments to former Presidents who are
now assalllng the imperlallstic policy
of the Administration.
Friends OF the administration who
grasp at every straw indicating that
Attorney General Griggs contention
will be sustained are pointing out as
significant the grouping of the Porto
Rican case and the Philippine case to-
gether. This was done Dy Chief JUS
tice Fuller at the request of the At
torney General. The Porto Rican case
Is not regarded as a very strong one,
whereas the Philippine case gave the
government great deal of concern.
The friends of the Administration are
now arguing that the punching of these
cases will result in decision in favor
of the government on the principle
that n chain Is only so strong rs its
weakest link and in this case the weak
link Is the Porto Rican case.
After the concluding argument by
Charles ii. Aldrich yesterday all the
papers In the Porto Rico and Philip
pine tariff eases were taken by the Su-
preme Court. Mr.. Aldrlch's argument
VISA n general summing up in behalf
of the contention that the United
States had no right to collect duties
on articles brought in from Porto Rico
and the Philippines, but should main
tain absolute free trade with these
territories.
