RIGHT TO QUARANTINE.
The United States Supreme Court
Holds State Regulations
Are Valid.

Washington, April 23.-The right on
was involved in q case decided by the
supreme court today. The contention
arose in connection with the case of
Smith VS.. the st. Louis & Western
Railway company, involving quaran-
tine regulations against Importation OF
cattle in 1897. The cattle shipment up
on which the case turned was made by
Smith over the st. Louis road from
Plaindealing, La, to Fort Worth, Tex
as, the officials of the road being una
ware that a quarantine had been es-
tablished as had been done by the
Texas officials. When the existence Of
the restriction had become known the
railroad company refused to deliver the
stock to the consignee and reshipped
them to Plaindealing. There Smith re-
fused to receive them, as he also did
the proceeds of their sale.
Smith then brought suit for dam
ages, contending the regulations were
an interference with interstate COM
merce and unjustif1ed by the facts.
The trial court sustained the regulation
but the state court of appeals reversed
the decision, holding in favor of the
railroad company. Today's opinion af-
firmed the latter decision on the ground
that the state had right under its
infectious disease, even though CON-
merce may be incidentally interferred
with by regulations of such protection.
Justices Harlan and White united in a
dissenting opinion. Justice Brown de-
liYered dissenting opinion of his own,

PORTO RIcAH PROBLEMS.
Code Commissioner Rowe Say. They. Are
Being solved Gradually,

Code Commissioners Rowe Says They. Are
Being solved Gradually.
New York, April al. s. Rowe, Of
The Porto Rican code commission. has
arrived here from San Juan. He brings
with him the report Of the commission
appointed by the president In June last
year. After presenting this report
Rowe will return to San Juan and re-
sumo the craftsmanship Of the new
:odo commission appointed by Govern
ir Allen.
Speaking of the situation in the is
land Mr.. Rowe said:
The spirit OF pessimism which
small element of the population seems
intent on keeping alive loses Its justif-
cation when the Porto Rico Of today is
compared with the Porto Rico of 1899.
Today there is a fully organized gov
eminent in which the people are ac-
lively participating. guaranteeing per-
sonal and property rights throughout
the island; justice Is being admins
tered with an impartiality hitherto un-
known; taxation, which has been
largely matter Of favoritism and par
tisan discrimination, is being placed on
definite, secure basis, and with an as
surance of equality and uniformity in
administration. No one will for a mos
ment contend that all or even a greater
part of the economic and political
problems confronting the island have
been solved. Nothing less than mir
acle could have worked such change.
But it is equally clear that firm and
lasting foundation has been laid for
the gradual solution of these important
questions, such as the regeneration of
the coffee and tobacco districts, devel-
opment of the fruit trade, ETC., upon
which the future prosperity of the is
land largely depends.
1T must be borne in mind that Porto
Rico has passed through three radical
changes of its political system in as
many years. First came the change
under Spanish rule from absolutism to
an autonomous regime. then the arbi-
trary rule of military government, and
finally the more liberal system intro
duced by the Foraker act. 1t is not
surprising that under such circum-
stances a spirit of unrest should have
developed 1t is within the last six
months that Porto Rico has quietly
settled down determined to help itself
and solve it's own problems. The inn
patience shown in some quarters by
the native population because of the
failure to give to the island within the
short space. of year a complete sys-
tenn of roads and widely distributed
system of government loans to agricul-
turists is but an indication of the lack
of acquaintance with the difficulties of
the situation and will disappear with
closer touch with and more active CO.
operation in the work of public admins
stration."
