MANILA JUBILANT.

Manila, Dec. 3.-LocaI newspap pers here published extracts when they re ceivLd news of the United States su- preme courts decision in the fourteen diamond rings case that the Philip pines are American territory. and that the imposition of a duty on articles inn ported into the United States from here is improper. The announcement caused iubilation among the merchants and the public in general.
 Representatives of business houses say the decision will revolutionize the entire trade of the orient and civilians and military men are pleased at the prospect of sending presents home with out having to pay duty on them. The civil authorities have not formed all opinion on the subject, but they think the law only applies to goods going into the United States. They are anXiously awaiting official communication on the subject since if the decision holds. new means for obtaining funds to run the government will be necessary.
 General Wright. vice governor. thinks a general revision of taxation will be imperative The Spanish merchants are pleased. as Spanish goods have the same rights under the treaty as Amer icnn goods. Collector of the Port Sch'I- ster says it means the returning of &. .OC0 GOO collected in duties by customs officials.

NONE NEEDED
Even The Civil Government at Manila
 Will Not be Instructed.

Washington, Dec. 3.-It was stated at the war department today that the decisions of the supreme court in the insular cases does not call for any change in the existing tariff arrange ments in the Philippines. and that it was not even deemed necessary to issue instructions to the civil government of the islands on the subject as a conse- quence of the decisions. Secretary Root has had several conferences with other officials in regard to the enact ment of Legislation necessary to meet existing conditions. but he said today that as he had not yet received an off cial copy of the courts decision he was unable even to indicate what steps should be taken.
 The secretary of the treasury today issued to the collectors, of customs in the United States a telegraphic order directing them to admit free of duty goods imported from the Philippines. The following is the order. "Discon- tinue the requirement. of entry and col lection Of duty on merchandise shown by manifest of vessels to be shipped from the Philippines. All free delivery of goods in bond. Detain cirgars and cigarettes until international revenue stamps are affixed under circulars Sl and S5. Refunds will be made by cer- tified statement where protests are duly filed

MAY APPEAL RUPEE CASE.

New York, Dec. 3.-Albert H. Wash burn, counsel for the treasury depart ment before the board of United States general appraisers, in discussing the rupee protest case of L. Bebee & Sons, decided by the board yesterday, said to- day he thought an appeal would be taken to the courts. When seen, Mir. Washburn said:
 While I have as yet made no report to the treasury department of the ad- verse decision to the government in the Beebe case. I believe it will be ap- pealed to the circuit court The under standing on both sides was, when the case was resubmitted to the board, that an appeal would be taken from the boards decision to the courts.
 ''I shall shortly consider the matter, and make suitable recommendations to the treasury department
 It seems likely from MT Washburns remarks that the Beebe case, or one similar. will run through the courts again, ultimately being settled by the United States supreme court. Possi- bly, q year or two may elapse before q final adjudication of the vexatious questions involved.

ON REPUBLICAN, SIDE
There Was an Enthusiastic Demon stration in the House-The Part of the Message Relating to the Death of President Mckinley Was Given the Most Intense Attention. An Early and Respectful Ad- journment.

Washington, Dec. 3.-Not in many years have the members of the house listened with such rapt attention to the annual message of the president of the United States they did today in the reading of the first message of Presi- dent Roosevelt Every word was fol- lowed intently from the announcement of the tragic death of President Me Kinley. in the opening sentence to the expression of the closing wish that our rela tions with the world would continue peaceful.
 The reading occupied two hours, but not over a dozen members left their seats until it was concluded. Several times there was applause and at the conclusion there was an enthusiastic demonstration on the republican side. On the motion of Mir. Grosvenor of Ohio that portion of the message relating to the death of the late president was referred to committee to consist of one member from each state, to join a similar committee of the senate to consider and report by what token of respect and affection it may be proper for congress to express the deep sensi- bilities of the nation over the death of the president. The speaker appointed a committee headed by MT. Grosvenor and then, as further mark of respect, the house adjourned.

DIAMOND RINGS CASE
The Decision Sets the COun-
 try Talking
The Merchants and Most Others in the Islands Pleased - Made the Principal Subject of Cabinet Meeting.

Washington, Dec. 3.-The cabinet meeting today was pricipally consumed in discussion of the insular decisions handed down yesterday by the supreme court. On the whole, it is believed, the views of the court were quite sat isfactory to the administration. It was pointed out that the ultimate results of the decisions are in a measure spec ulative at present with the exception that customs duties collected in this country on goods shipped from the Philippines since the ratification of the Paris treaty will have to be refunded.
 It is not thought, however, that the aggregate will be large. Secretary Gage explains that it will be within S1,000,0O0. He called attention to the fact that a great bulk of the imports is free of duty under our general tariff laws, notably hemp. which is one of the leading staples of the Philippines.
 The present tariff now in operation in the Philippines. Mir. Gage thinks. will need little or no revision. Preparation of a tariff on Philippine importations into the United States, however. is ex- pected to consume considerable time during congress, but it is expected that congress may continue the duties inn posed by the Dingley tariff and thus if it is so disposed cut off a flood of inn ports which might follow an announce ment that all duties were removed.

IT MEANS NEW LEGISLATION.

Washington. Dec. 3.-The supreme court decision relative to the Philip pines has brought to the attention of the leaders in congress the need of legisla tion for the archipelago some what on the lines of that enacted for Porto Rico, particularly in connection with revenue questions and imports from the Philippines Such legislation will originate in the house of repre- sentatives and it appears to be con- ceded that the ways and means com mittee will deal only with questions outside those involving revenue.
