FAULT Is FOUND.
w. T.. Chandler Not Wholly in Accord
with Supreme Justices.

Special 10 the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-Former Senator
Chandler, of New Hampshire, holds some
very decided views on the Porto Rican de-
cision recently rendered by the United
States Supreme Court Mr.. Chandler is
satisfied with the decision that the Foraker
law is constitutional, but insists that the
conclusion reached that duties collected
under the Dingley act were levied uncon-
ctitutionaly is a mistake and that it ought
To be rectiied. Mr.. Chandler is of opinion
that the attorney general should make ap
plication for a reargument OF the case, be-
lieving that upon further consideration the
court will perceive the justice of a de-
cision declaring the Dingley law entirely
valid in the premises. incidentally, he con-
tends that the decided unconstitutionality
OF the Dingley act makes il clear that all
duties which have been collected on mer-
chandise from the Philippines have come
TO the government illegally, and that if the
court insists that the Dingley collections
In Porto Rico were unlawful, then all du-
ties levied thus far in the Philippines must
be refunded.
In speaking OF the subject to-day Mr..
Chandler said: II think a decision that i'm
portations from the Philippines are taxable
will be a very strange one in view of the
decision that importations from Porto Rico
before the operation of the Foraker act
were free of duty. The United States OBJ
tanned title to both Porto Rico and the
Philippines, first by conquest, and. second,
by absolute cession from Spain. The latter
nation was the absolute and undiSputed
sovereign of the Philippines when Admiral
Dewey destroyed the Spanish fleet in Ma
Mia bay Later she transferred her SOW
ereignty to us in the same language used
in transferring Porto Rico to us To hold
that Porto Rico became so completely a
part of the United States that goods COM
ing from the island 10 the United States
were free of duty, and then to hold that
goods coming from the Philippines are
dutiabe because we entered into a new
contest with the Filipinos would be almost
al absurdity. l shall not believe that the
five members of the Supreme Court who
held that the Constitution followed the
flag as to exempt Porto Rico from tariff
duties on merchandise coming into the

FEELING AT HAVANA.
Deplcred by the
Press-AGVice to Delegates.

HAVANA, June 1.-The press deplores
the misunderstanding with the Washington
government, but generally admits the pos
sibility of a wrong construction being put
OH the amendment by the explanations
and interpretations and that 1t will be best
for the convention to take up the question
Immediately and accept the amendment
as passed by Congress. La Lucha says
that 50 per cent. of the people favor this,
but the delegates are at loss what to do
Some claim that the United States is not
acting in good faith, as it was most i'm
probable that the Washington authorities
did not know what the convention was
doing and what was the nature of the re-
port to be submitted. They further say
that a majority of the committee on re-
lations told them that the amendment as
accepted would be satisfactory to the United
States, and that they had the assurance of
General Wood and Secretary Root 10 this
effect.
The members of the committee on re-
lations VIII say nothing regarding this point
other than that they too thought il would
be satisfactory. Secret sessions and absent
stenographers make it impossible for even
the delegates themselves TO set things
Alright
Regarding the controversy which will
surely arise later to who is responsible
the convention will place the responsibility
on the committee. and they, il is said. will
blame General Wood and Secretary Root.
An effort is being made by some of the
conservatives TO avoid this crisis by asking
the convention to adjourn for a month and
in the meantime have the municipalities
petition the convention TO pass the original
amendment Several municipalities have
already taken that action, and ii is thought
that others will fall into line.
The municipal election passed off quietly.

As to the value Of diamonds, per-

red, rose, green or blue are most high

also are esteemed. If fiawless and
without tint of any kind, they are

steely blue color, at times almost
opalescent, they are called blue white.
Such are usually Brazilian stones. Ex-

How Fortress Monroe Was Built.

The manner of constructing the fort
at Old Point Comfort is interesting
and throws some light on customs and
practices then in vogue. The work was
almost wholly done by slaves who were
brought to the place by their masters
and leased to the engineers in charge.
The slave owner received so cents a
day for each slave, and the government
furnished each 'laborer," rs the slave
was called, with two suits of working
clothes, pair or two of shoes. rations,
quarters and occasionally n little tobac-
co. The "labOrers'' worked with very
little clothes and generally without
shoes. They lived in barracks and were
subject to kind Of military discipline.
The owners were regular in coming in
to collect the hire for their slaves, from
which we may infer that the "constitu-
ents" Of those days knew how to appre-
ciate n good thing to degree worthy
