w'aiian Islands with the United States ana
with other counties should remain un-
changed until Congress should further leg
islate on the subject was a violation of
the provision of the constitution that all
duties. imposts and excise, shall be uni
from throughout the United Staes."
Third. AS such joint resolution provid-
ed for the collection at the ports of the
Hawaiian Islands of duties upon articles
sent thither from other ports of the
United States, this was, in effect. viola
ton of the provisions of section nine of
the constitution that mo tax or duty
shall be laid on articles exported from
any state"
Counsel argued that this case was not
like others before the court recently. for
the reason that there was no question in
volved as to the force or effect of a treaty,
the government of the republic of Hawaii
having ceded its sovereignty to the United
States, which cession the Congress rati-
fed. There is no question of a military
government. The language of the an
neXation act provides that the islands
were annexed as "a part of the territory
of the United States"
Mr.. Smith argued that in the five places
where the words United States were used
in the constitution, with one exception,
the terms include the states and the terri
tories well The exception is that
clause providing for the election of presi-
Dental electors
Counsel held that there is no principal
of grammar, logic, law or common sense
in which the words throughout the
United States in the uniformity clause
with regard to taxation can be restricted
to states excluding the territories.
Cases had been cited where 1t was held
that countries captured in war or ceded
PO1lld he held
Congress had legislated to define their
status. Counsel said this would not help
the government as in this case the
islands were not conquered or annexed by
treaty, but by legislative action. He said
further:
Congress, after by joint resolutions an
nexing the islands as a part of the terri
tory of the United States, had certainly
legislated enough to make them cease to
be foreign"
Citing a treasury decision of April II,
1900 holding that Porto Rico was not a
foreign country within the meaning of
the drawback clause of the Dingley law
Mr.. Smith asked why Hawaii should
have been considered a foreign country at
that time
The uniformity clause of the consttu-
ton, with reference to indirect taxes, he
continued, is one of the fundamental lin
itations upon the powers of Congress and
in consequence the provision of the an
exation act which continued in force the
| customs regulations of the republic was
a clear violation of the uniformity clause.
| In the case the islands were considered
! foreign any tax collected there upon goods
| coming from this country would be in
effect, he said. an export tax, as there
would be no difference whether a tax on
| goods going from a state to the islands
| were taxed at the point of shipment or at
| the destination, as the charge would be
| from the time the goods were shipped.

FIGHTING STILL IN VOGUE.
Some Forms of IhnzinR at West Point
Discontinued, but Others StiIl
Practfced.

West Point ". Y, Jan. 14.-The com
mittee of the House of Representatives
resumed their investigations of hazing at
West Point to-day. The first witness
brought before the committee to-day was
Cadet Lewis Brown, Jr.. of Rhode Island,
one of Cadet KeHer's seconds in his fight
with Booz, who was examined at great
length, but no new evidence was brought
out. Witness defended the West Point
fighting code. but admitted that fighting
would cease if cadets knew they would
be expelled for taking part in fights. He
thought also that an oath against fighting
would stop the practice because no cadet
would break the oath, and IL he did
would be reported by other cadets for
acting dishonorably.
Cadet Brown told about fourth class
men being required to read things about
themselves or relatives
"At the end of each line" he said, "as
was the case with Cadet Hobson they
are requested to Insert their own names.
Mr.. Hobson once read about his brother
and the incident of the sinking of the
Merrimac and at the end of each line he
had to say "T am the man
did he read anything about the Cal
ifornia Incident" asked Representative
briggs.
NO. sir, he was not asked to do that"
Brown replied, laughingly.
