Washington, Dec. 2.-Opinions were
rendered in the United States supreme
court today III the last two insulaI
cases. One OF them that is known as
the Fourteen diamond rings case" in.

States to the Philippine islands from a
tariff point of view, and the other
what is known as Dooley case No. .
involving the constitionality of collec,
ton Of duty on goods shipped from
New York to Porto Rico.
In the former case the court, through
Chief Justice Fuller, held that dia
mond rings brought in from the Phil

should have been exempt from duty
under the Paris treaty Of peace. as
that treaty made the Philippines
American territory. The decision ir
the Philippines case followed closet,

reality a tax for the benefit of the Por

MONEY
STOLEN FROM MR.. JONES At THE
INSTANCE OF A NEGRO NAM
ED FRANKLIN.
He Persuaded the Two Girls to Leave
Home and Go To Him at Denver
He Was Handed Half the stolen
Sum and Succeeded In Making His
Escape-GirIs Discharged.

Maggie Jones and Carrie Burton, the
ed as they alighted from a Denver.
bound train at Cheyenne Sunday at,
ternoon and returned to this city by
Sheriff Cook yesterday, were kept in
the county Jail here until this morning,
when they we're admonished by Prose
cutting Attorney Downey and allowed
to go home, the criminal charge
against them having been withdrawn.
The Jones girl was accused Of the
theft Of $40 from her father and when
she was arrested by Sheriff Smalley at
Cheyenne she confessed that she had
given $40 of the amount to q colored
mar named Emanuel Franklin, who
came to Laramie last October with q
minstrel company and remained here.
The girl says that Franklin put her up
to steal the money and then advised
the two girls to meet him in Denver.
They were on their way to Denver
when they were intercepted, and
Franklin was IN the depot platform in
that city when the train arrived, not
knowing that the girls had been taken
from the train. and that a the last
seen of him. Sheriff Cook did not
know at that time that Franklin had
been given a part Of the money or he
would have caused his arrest and de-
tention by the Denver police. He has
left Denver, 1t is believed.
The two girls bought tickets to Den
yer, the unused portions of which
were sold at Cheyenne, making the to-
tai loss to Mr.. Jones about $50, the
Jones girl having $40 when she was
taken In custody.
The officers are making an effort to
apprehend Franklin. but he had a good
start before they knew he was mixed
up In the matter and has no doubt
gone so far away that they will not be
able to find him.

John M. Morton, a coiofed laborer
at the rolling mills, had the sight of
both yes destroyed at S:45 this norm
ing, and lies at Mrs. Burk's hospital
Under the care Of DR.. Hamilton, local
surgeon for the Colorado Fuel and
Iron company. AS soon as he is able
to stand the journey 1t is understood
he will be taken to the company's gen.
eral hospital at Pueblo, where he will
be cared for, it being the well known
policy Of that company to care for the
permanently disabled employees in the
different mills of the company.
Morton came here from Pueblo a
week or two ago. He was engaged this
morning in removing the Stag from one
Of the furnaces. This runs In a steady
stream from the furnace, and when
the ladle is full it is taken to the yard
and dumped In a lump weighing a
hundred pounds or so The stuff is in
a molten state, and the men handling
1t are c%autioning to dump 1t in a dry
place. as to let it come in contact with
water or snow will cause an explosion
and splatter the molten iron in every
direction. This p%recaution is impaired
to all men who have to handle the
Stag, and it is said that Morton had
been no exception to the rule, and was
well enough posted to have known the
result Of forgetting the importance OF
observing it. He is an old rolling mill
man.
This morning he wheeled a ladleful
of the Stag to the yard at the south
end Of the building and turned it out
in the snow. Instantly there was a
loud explosion and the metal few into
his eyes, burning them out completely.
AS quickly as possible the emergency
remedies were applied and DR.. Hamil-
ton summoned, who ordered the man
removed to the hospital. The pain was
intense and Morton lost 1consciousness.
At the hospital the surgeon found that
his services were OF no avail to save
the sight and he bent his energies TO
the relief Of the circulating pain the
man endured. There. was a burn on
one wrist, but the injuries were small
except to the eyes.
9 Morton had a family at one time, he
says, but his children are lead and he
and his wife live apart. He does not
know where she is, and Superintendent
Jupp Of the rolling mill was unable to
communicate with her.
Speaking Of the accident this after.
noon, Mr.. Jupp said that for ten years
he had been the manager Of rolling
mills, and that this was the most dis
tressinS accident he had see in that
time. The man himself was clearly
at fault ia the matter. 1t was an &C
cident for which his companions were
they could have prevented only by pre-
venting him from dumping the molten
mass into the snow.
The men about the mill wonder what
could have caused him to forget this
important instruction. upon which
men in that department Of the work
are drilled from time to time and eau
toned of the direful consequences of
turning the matter out in a damp
place.
DR.. Hamilton says that Morton is
suffering greatly, but does not realize
the great disaster that has befallen
him. He will be kept here awhile and
then taken to Pueblo and cared for by
the Colorado Fuel and Iron company.

Washington, Dec. 3.--The opening
Of the first session of the Fifty-seventh
congress at moo yesterday drew to
the capitol a great throng Of specta-
tors eager to witness the scenes OF
animation that mark the annual reas-
sembling of the national Lawmakers.
Although the actual work Of the two
houses was not to begin until ~
o'clock, the historic old structure, now
~refurnished nom end to end until 1t
shone with marble, gilt and rich deco
r~ations, was astir long before that
hour. 1t was an ideal day, sunny and
warm, with just enough breeze from
the south to stir the flags owe the
capitol. some of which were raised for
the first time since the adjournment
of congress nine months ago.
There was no entrance restrictions
and the crowds flowed uninterrupted
ly into the building. Many ladies were
in the throng, including the wives and
families of senator's and members, as
we'll as many of the feminine represen-
tatives Of the cabinet, diplomatic and
executive circles. ...Nt
Senators and members began arriv-
ing early and there was the usual
Handwriting among old friends and
informal talk of the work ahead. The
veteran senator from Iowa, Mr.. ALI
son, was one of the first to reach the
senate wing and resume his work as
chairman Of the committee on appro-
priations. Mr.. Jones of Arkansas, the
democratic floor leader i'll the senate,
was another early arrival and had u

the cloakroom discussing the sessions !

It is absurd to say that the Govern
ment of Hawaii is extrayagant because
its per capita cost is greater than that
of some populous States. Where there
are five millions Of people to dlvloe
the bills Of Government the per capita
rating Is naturally less than where the
expense falls, as in Hawaii. upon 1oo'-
600 people, Whether the State or Ter
ritory is large or small it must have
certain amount of official machinery
and il there is small population the
individual burden seems large In the
case of Hawaii the amusing proposal Is
made to reduce that burden by setting
I'D two subsidiary systems OF govern
ment that would have to be PAID 1or
