PORTOR|COSTATUS
Decision of Solicitor General
Regarding the Island.
Says Constitution Is Not Yet
Operative There.
Foraker Complimented on His
Work In Securing Passage Of
Porto RiCan Tariff Bill.

WASHINGTON, April i.-Soicitor
General Richards of the department Of
justice has filed n brief in the supreme
court which fixes the attitude of this
government on the question Of whether
the constitution extends TO the new pos
sessions of the United States The de
partment of justice says it does not with
tlt act of congress.
The case is that Of Ramon Baez. n
native born inhabitant OF T. % Rico,
who applies for leave to file petition
for writs of haheas corpus and certiorari
to secure his release from further impris-
onment under Judgment of the United
States provisional court Of Porto Rico
sentencing him to two months imprison-
ment for illegal voting at Il municipal
election held under the military order.
The prayer is that the writ of habCas
corpus be directed to Samuel {. Both
well. marshal of the provisional court at
Humacoa. Porto Rico. commanding him
To produce Baez before the supreme
court, and that the writ of certiorari
issue to the provisional court of Porto
Rico. commanding it to forward to the
court a transcript of its proceedings in
this case.
After reviewing the case the solicitor
general makes the following argument:
SIS this military court and its trooper
marshal within the territorial jurisdic-
ton of this court? Both are in Porto Ri
GO. While that island has been ccded 10
the United States, congress has as yet
taken no action toward organizing the
territory or applying to ii the constitu'
ton and the laws of the United States
The island has been acquired under the
power conferred by the constitution on
the government of the Union making wal
and making treaties Marshall, {. j.. in

MRS. ADMIRAL DEWEY.

ances have come to me from my coun
trymen that | would be acceptable as
candidate for this great office. If the
American people want me for this high
office, shall be only too willing to serve
them. 1t is the highest honor in the
gift of this nation. What citizen would
refuse it? Since studying this subject |
am convinced that the office of the pres
ident is not such n very difficult one to
fill, his duties being mainly to execute
the laws of congress. Should | be cho-
sen for this exalted position | would exc
cute the laws of congress as faithfully
as l have always executed the orders OF
my superiors."
When asked upon what platform he
would stand, the admiral replied:
II think | have said enough at this
time and possibly too much"
IF George Dewey is elected president
of the United States, he may thank his
wife for it," That is what female Wash
ington is saying today, and female Wash
ington certainly knows.
1t is an open secret that for several
months the admiral's charming wife has
been urging her husband to take an ac-
tive part in public affairs. Mrs. Dewey
is one of the most ambitious women in
TINS city OF AMBITIOUS women. SHc be-
heves in her famous husband and thinks
that no position is too great for him.
At dinner party given one night last
winter at the residence of John II. Nc.
Lean a guest proposed this toast:
TO the admiral: may his title be
changed TO the president"
The admiral laughed and blushed and
shook his head. Mrs. Dewey clapped her
hands and cried out:
"Ill drink that toast"
Mrs. Dewey will bring TO her husbands
aid, if he decides TO become an active
candidate. both wealth and power. She
is rich woman in her own name, and
her family is rich,
Her brother. John II. Mclean, is the
dominant factor in Ohio politics. He
would. it is believed, be a powerful ally
in the fight. In addition Mrs. Dewey has
been for years a most hospitable hostess
in Washington and has made innumer
able friends, many of them politicians OF
national fame and influence.

FLOWERS FOR FORAKER.
Senator COmpiimented on Securing
Passage of Porto Rican Bill.

WASHINGTON, April A bunch of
beautiful flowers adorned the desk OF
Mr.. Foraker (O) when the senate con-
vened today. 1t was sent to him by
friends in recognition of his handling of
the Porto Rican bill, which yesterday
passed the senate by vote of 40 TO 81.
Mr.. Stewart presented petition from
citizens of Cuba. representing S150.OOO,-
600 of capital, praying congress to enact
law prohibiting the use of the United
States military power 10 prevent the
landing of a competing cable from the
United States"
Mr.. Morgan called attention TO rule
of the senate which provided that no Pc
tition should he received from citizens of
foreign country except through the
state department He did not object to
the petition, because he believed that Gu
ba held such a relation TO the United
States as could be dissolved only 10y con-
gress.
Mr.. Spooner said the rule was founded
in good sense and he believed the petit
ton ought to come through the state de-
partment.
The chair held that the petition could
not be received if objection were made.
Mr.. Stewart urged that the petition
did not come within the rule. The Gu
bans. having no other alternative, appeal.
ed To congress.
The petition finally was received and
ordered printed.
AT the conclusion Of morning business
the chair laid before the senate the reso'
luton declaring that Hon. NJ. S. Quay
was not entitled to n seat in the senate
from PENNSYLVANIA, but the matter was
laid over until tomorrow.
Without preliminary business the house
today resumed the consideration of the
bill 10 establish n territorial government
in Hawaii. Mr.. Mcdowell (O1. mem
Der of the committee on territories, was
the first speaker.
While Mr. Mcdowell was speaking the
clerk of the senate appeared and an
nounced the passage of the Porto RicaT
tariff hiu with sundry amendments, il
which the concurrence Of the house is re
quested." There was no demonstration
when the announcement was made. Th'
