THE GOVERNMENT UPHELD.
Judge Morris Renders Decision in
 Sugar Case

Baltimore, Oct. 12.-Judge Morris or the United States Circuit Court today handed down his decision in the Russian sugar bounty cases, upholding the action or Collector Stone in leyying an extra tarin duty of 70 cents a hnndred pounds on sugar imported to this country from Rus sia by Robert F. Downs. commission merchant of this city.
 MT. Stones action was taken in accord- ance with a circular order of the Treas ury Department, dated Dec. l2, lS9S, which levied this additional duty, claiming that the Russian Government allowed boun- ty to that amount. The attorney for MT. Downs in his argument before Judge Nor ris, claimed that Russia paid no bounty on sugar, and that the legislation in that country which gave rise to the action or the Treasury Department was simply an attempt to avoid the evil of over-produc- tion.
 To do this 1t was enacted that all sugar produced above a prescribed amount should be taxed double. This pre- scribed amount is distributed among the different manufacturers proportionate to their total production. Seaport manufac- turers, in the practical operation of the law, are allowed to exchange their sur plus sugar for an equal amount of the free sugar of an inland manufacture without the goods passing.
 The District Attorney for the Govern ment argued that the Russian Govern ment practically sair to its manufacture CTS, "The more sugar you produce, the more you may sell at home" and gave to every exporter a certificate which had a market value on the exchanges of 2 cents a pound and that this was virtually a bounty on exported sugar.

vENEzUELANs ENTRENCHED
A Majority of Them in the Vicinity
 of Maracaybo.

Villemstad, Island of Curacoa, Oct. l2 via Haytien cable-Advices received here from Maracaybo under date of Octo- her 1O says the Venezuelan troops are entrenched at various points on the pen insuIa. A majority of them are in the civinity of Maracaybo. The conditions at the front are indescribably confused The Venezuelan soldiers are ravaging as if in an enemy's country. Being pracu- cally without commlssariat. they are com pelled to live on the country ana take possession of everything in sight. The countryside is rapidly becoming deserted. resulting in a lack of food supplies of any kind and a consequent increase of hunger. distress and suffering among the soldiers who have no shelter. Sickness is spreading rapidly among them ana they have no medical attendance or medicine.
 The Guajira Indians are becoming more incensed against the Venezuelans on ac- count of the outrages committed by the latter and have shockingly mutilated over a score of Venezuelans who have fallen into their hands. These advices concluded with saying that fighting seems improbable.

THE SUPREME COURT
IT WILL ASSEMBLE FOR FALL
 TERM OCT. IA.
The Famous "Fourteen Diamond Rings" Case Among Those to Be Decided-Much Interest
 in the Result.

Washington, Oct 12.-The United States Supreme Court will assemble October IA at 12 o'clock for the fall term. The court will adjourn and formally visit the White House to pay it's respects to the chief executive. The court will proceed to reuglar business Tuesday. The time probably will be occupied with motions to admissions to the bar. for the advance ment of cases and for writs of certiorari. Then such cases as have been set Tor argument will be heard.
 Several important cases are to De argued early in the term. Two lottery cases. one from Chicago and another from Cincinnati. which involve the validi- ty of the anti-lottery law. will be heard early. Another important case to be taken up soon is known as the Mixer case, the Carnegie Company vs The Cam bria Iron Company, involving rights in a patent process for making steel.
 When the court adjourned last spring there were twenty-eight cases which had been argued, but not decided. The most important of these were two insular cases, one being another Dooley case from Porto Rico which involved the right of the United States to levy and collect duties on goods going from this country into Porto Rico after the Foraker law went into effect
 There Is pending also the fourteen dia- mond rings" case which is the only one affecting the Philippines. This case arose upon the arrest of a soldier who brought fourteen diamond rings from the Philippines into the United States with out paying duty. No law having been passed relative to tariff rates to and from the Philippines, the government has as' serted it's right to levy and collect taxes on all articles coming from the Philip pines, charging the full Dingley taxes The opposing counsel argued that as the Philippines became United States terri tory there could be no customs on goods from the islands.
 It will be remembered that in the Downs case the court held that until the Foraker law was passed goods from Porto Rico were entitled to free admis- mission and some believe that this opin- ion is really a forerunner of the decision in the diamond case, although many law years hold that the continued military control in the Philippines may have some effect in determining the issue. At all events the opinions in both cases are awaited with interest.
