u o'clock the historic old structure
now refuruished from end to end UNI
til it shone with marble, gilt and rich
decorations, was astir long before
that hour. 1t was an ideal day to
bring out the public, sunny and
warm, with just enough breeze from
the south to lazily stir the flags over
the capitol. some OF which we're
raised for the first time since the
adjournment of congress nine
months ago. There were no entrance
restrictions, and the crowds flowed
uninterruptedly into the building.
Many ladies were in the throng, IN
Guiding the wives and families of sen

of the feminine representatives. OF
the cabinet, diplomatic and executive
circles.
Senator's and members began arriy-
ing early in the day and there was
the usual handshaking among old
friends and informal talk of the work
work ahead The veteran senator
from Iowa, Mr. Allison, was one OF
the first to reach the senate wing and
resume his work as chairman of the
committee on appropriations.
Senator Jones, of Arkansas, the
democratic floor leader in the senate,
was another early arrival and soon
had a circle of his democratic col
leagues in the cloak room discussing
the sessions programme. Speaker
Henderson did not reach the house
until shortly before the session
opened and remained in his private
office comforting with members dur
ing the formalities preceding his re-
election as speaker.

DIR. Haskell Fears the worst.
New York, Dec. 3.-Rey. DR.. Henry
c. Haskell, representative of the
American board of foreign missions
of Boston at SamalIov, Bulgaria, has
sent the following dispatch from So
fla, Bulgaria, to the World concerning
rumors of the death of Miss Ellen NJ.
Stone, the missing missionary:
1--WE hope that the dreadful news is un-
true, but there is reason to make us fear
otherwise.
"If the captives are dead, the fact would
account for the determined insistence on
the part of the brigands that the ransom
money should be paid before the captives
are surrendered to us.
cit would account also for the brigands'
stubborn refusal to give safe conduct to
one of our representatives to see Miss
Stone and Mrs. Tsilka in order to certify
to us that they are alive before we pay
over the ransom money.
1T would appear that 1t was really on
this point, and not on the contention that
the sum offered by us was insufficient,
that negotiations (for the surrender of the
captives) were broken off recently.
Besides, the brigands intimated that
they would delay giving up the prisoners
until spring, although It is their first inter-
est to close the matter as quickly as pos
sible.
'These considerations necessarily weigh
with us in view of the reports now prev
alent that the two women are dead.
Moreover, we have some confirmation OF
the grave news, and We are sending men
to learn the facts"

The Second DooIey Case.


Washington, Dec. 3.-The United
States supreme court Monday decided
the second of the Dooley cases, involv-
ing the constitutionality of the law
of April - providing for the collection
of duty on articles shipped from the
United States into Porto Rico. The
decision was rendered by Justice
Brown.
In his opinion Justice Brown held
that as Porto Rico is not foreign ter
ritory the goods shipped to Porto Rico
are not exports, but whether exports
or imports the wide range of congress
in the matter of taxation was sufficient
for a contingency of this character. At
best, he said, the duty was a temporary
expedient, and as it was explicitly pro-
vided in the Foraker act that the
Porto Rican legislature could change
the character of the enactment, it was
held that the Foraker act was mere
ly legisla ton in the interest of Porto
Rico. The Foraker act was sustained
on the grounds laid down in the
Downs case. another of the insular
cases uecldeu dI tht last TERM Inc
decision of the lower court was af-
frmed. Justice Brown explicitly said
that the opinion was not to be con-
strued as a justification of export du.
ties.
Justice White concurred in the re-
suit, but delivered an independent de-
cision.
The chief justice and Justices Har.
Ian, Brewer and Peckham united in a
dissenting opinion in the Dooley case
which was handed down by the chief
justice. They held that the duty i'm.
posed was export in character and
that the fact that it was levied for
the benefit of Porto Rico did NOT
change its character.
