Washington, Dec. 1.-The cabinet

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.
Presents His Annual Report Relative
to the Work of His De-
pnrtmcnt.

Washington. Dec. 4.-The attorney
generals annual report to congress

81 cases docketed during the year on

pellate docket and a decrease of three

Of the year. The number of cases

36S of which 40 were argued orally,
and 1852 submitted on printed briefs.
Of the 36S appellate cases disposed of,
1872 were affirmed, 81 reversed, 81 dis
missed, "a settled by the parties; in
nine questions certified were am
swercd, and 50 were dcnials of petit
tons for writs of certiorari under the
act of March 5, 1891.
The report shows that during the
year there were 4,641 United States
prisoners serving sentences in peni-
tentiaries; 1911 were discharged DUR
ing the year and 1850 were received;
Al died and 63 were pardoned. or the

The attorney general urges an in
crease in the appropriation for new

gests that congress consider the adj
visibility of adopting a new and uni
form system of Communication with re,
spect to federal prisoners, and recon-
mends that the salaries of United

Proof of Sincerity.

Picking, Dec. 4.-Chincse officials
say that the appointment of a new
heir apparent to the throne will be
delayed until the emperor, Kwang
Su, can discuss the question with
leading men. The imperial edict de-
posing the former heir apparent, Pu
Chun, son of Prince Tuan, the au-
thor of Boxer troubles, is generally
considered as the strongest proof
yet given of the sincerity of the en-
press leaning towards reform. Con-
sidered with previous edicts, this
last one appears to corroborate the
belief among Chinese officials that
the empress sees the error of her
anti-foreign policy of recent years.

THE INSULAR CASES.
Important Dec: sions Handed Down
by Supreme Court.
Government Must Repay Duties COL
lccted ON Imports from Philip.
pines-CuNtOmn Levied Against
Porto Rico Are Legal.

Washington, Dec. 3.-Porto Rico and
the Philippines became domestic terri
tories Immediately upon the ratitca-
ton of the treaty Of peace. The con-
stitu,ion followed the flag to all of the
islands, and they Immediately became
territories of the United States.
Duties levied in this country against
Dingley law were illegal and must be
returned, but merely because of the
failure of congress toact. The islands
never have been foreign Since the
treaty OF peace.
The power of congress to pass laws
for the regulation OF The territories is
unrestricted. 1t comes from the con-
stitution itself.
The Foraker act, providing civil gov
ernment for Porto Rico, is constitu-
tional. The duties il levied in the
United States and in Porto Rico alike
were legally collected because they
were imposed by an act passed in pur-
suance of the constitutional right of
congress to govern the territories as it
Sees fit.
Alldutes collect ed on goods between
the United States and the Philippines
under the Dingley tariff are illegal, be-
cause the Dingley tariff specifically
fixes duties on goods coming from for
eign countries, whereas the Philip
pines are domestic.
Congress Can Pr"vi.le Tariff.
The right of congress to legisIate for
the government of the Philippines is
affirmed, and undcr that right Il special
tariff can be provided by congress at
San Francisco and at Manila on goods
going in either direction.
The Philippines are in exactly the
same condition as Porto Rico was
just prior to the passage of the For
aier act. AS soon as congress legis-
lates for the Philippines those islands
can have free trade or otherwise with
the United States or with other coun-
tries, as congress sees fit.
These general principles embody
the sum and substance of the two inn
portant decisions handed down in the
supreme court Monday.
Will Result in LcEislntion.
The immediate result of the decisions
will be the passage of a law by con-
gress establishing Il form of civil gov
eminent. no matter how simple, for
the Philippine islands, and establish
ing tariffs on goods entering HE is
lands from the United States or else
where. The same act will provide for
the collection of taxes in the United
States on the products of the Philip
pines, and those will not be at The Ding
ley rates, but at such rates as congress
shall fix. The new law will be in its
general principles the same as the
tariff features of the Foraker act, be-
cause it will provide and must pro-
vide under the ruling of the court that
the taxes levied on goods brought
from the Philippines shall be used for
the government of these islands and
shall not be turned into the treasury
at all.
Washington, Dec. 3.-Chief Justice
Fuller on Monday announced that aft

night to meet the railroad commission,
to ask that the rates to this city be re-

that the present rates discriminate
against the city.
The above clipping we got out of the
Jackson's correspondence to the Com
mercial Appeal. There seems to have
been going on for some time, among
different cities in the state, kicks
against the high freight rates of en-
tering roads. These complaints have
been referred to Business Leagues and
like organizations and in most cases
reductions have been made. Now, we
don't know whether the merchants
here have any complaints as to rates of
roads running into this place or not
but if they have it ought to be taken
up at once and reduction asked so
that our merchants can meet the prices
of Vicksburg and merchants of other
cities doing business in the Delta.
