Expects Favorabie Decision.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-Wellman's dis
patch to Times Herald: Important in
formation concerning the attitude OF the
supreme court in the great constitution
and flag cases reaches me thru .rust-
worthy channels. The decision of the
court is likely to be nearly unanimous
in favcr Of the governments cont sntion
that the constitution gives congress
plenary power over acquired territory.
1t may in the end be unanimous
Al the present time it is understood
that two justices lean the other way.
without being pronounced in their
views, while a third Is troubled with
some doubts. My informant, who has
an excellent opportunity to learn the
trend of opinion among the justices,
predicts that there will be only one or
two, if any, dissents from the opinion
which will once for all put an end to all
doubts of the power of congress to leg
islate for territory as government en-
tlty under the sovereignty of the United
States internationally. but not part of
the United States nationally.
This information came out during the
discussion by members of the court up
on the Neely case, which was decided
a few days ago. l print this important
intelligence with no otner reservation
than the admission that my informant
may possibly be mistaken. As to his
sources Of information and his good
faith have no doubt.
AS to Justice Harlan, about whom
there is now great deal of gossip on
account of the bitter opposition in the
senate to the confirmation OF the nom
nation of his son, James S. Harlan. to
be attorney general of Porto Rico, my
information is positive. In almost all
estimates of the attitude OF the cour,
Justice Harlan has been set down as an
advocate of the doctrine that the con-
stitution Goes follow the flag.
The truth is that Justice Harlan does
not now hold this view and never held
1t. To the contrary. when the Porto Ri
co legislation was before congress last
winter. and the constitutionality OF the
tariff was under discussion in the SEN
ate and house, Justice Harlan discussed
that question quite freely with some
