MANNING HEIRS FOUND.
A Sister and Nephews and Neices Live
In New Jersey.

New York, Dec. 2.-Heirs of Pat
rick Manning who died a few days
ago at Kalispell, Mont, leaving a for
tune he had acquired in mining, have
been found in Newark, N. J. One is
Theresa ". Manning, sister, and the
others are five nieces and nephews.
Patrick Manning was former resi-
dent of Newark He went to the west
to seek his fortune and as result of
long years of hard work became
wealthy. When he died he left no
information as to his relatives, who
they were or where they lived. Know
ing he came from Newark, friends
wrote to the Catholic clergy there
and an investigation was set on foot.
Miss Manning says her broter wrote
to her recently that he had become
wealthy, and that in very short time
he was coming here to spend his re-
naming days with her. News of his
death shocked her greatly as she had
been awaiting his arrival with eager
ness. She says she will take steps at
once to claim the property for herself
and the other heirs.

NOT EXPORTS.

constitutionaIity Of Law for Benefit
of Porto Rico Upheld.
Washington, Dec. 2.-The United
the second of the Dooley cases, involv-
ing the constitutionality of the law of
April IL, providing for the collection
of duty on articles shipped from the
United States into Porto Rico. De-
cision was rendered by Justice Brown
and sustained the government.
Chief Justice Fuller and Justices
Harlan, Brewer and Peckham united
in dissenting opinion which was
handed down by the chief justice.
They held that the duty imposed was
export in character and the fact that
it was levied for the benefit of Porto
Rico did not change it's character.
Justice Browns opinion held that
as Porto Rico is not foreign territory
goods shipped to Porto Rico are not
exports, but whether exports or inn
ports the wide range of congress in
the matter of taxation was sufficient
for contingency Of this character
At best, he said, the duty was a tempo
rary expedient and as it was explicit
ly provided in the Foraker act that
the Porto Rican legislature could
change the character Of the enactment

900 bills were introduced before IL
O'Clock today. There was much
rivalry for the honor of having bill
number one, no less than Is members
asked for this precedence. Indica-
tions are that the bill of Mr.. Nc
Cleary, restricting the sale Of oleo-
margarine will be designated when
the records are made up.
The bills took a wide range; three
Pacific cable bills by Representatives
Sherman of New York, Corliss Of
Michigan and Jones of Washington,
gave varying phases of this project.
Mr.. Jones proposing northern route
via Puget Sound, with an appropria-
ton Of $S,O0O,00O; Mr.. Corliss propos-
route, and Mr.. Sherman offering
plan allowing private participation in
the enterprise.
Among the other measures introduc-
ed were those by, Mr.. SulZer, New
York, protesting against conduct of
the war in South Africa, and Mr.. Thay-
er, Massachusetts, and Mr.. Bromwell
Ohio, removing duty on hides. Mr..
Cousins Iowa, to repeal bankruptcy
law. Mr.. Fowler, New Jersey, to

it was held that the Foraker act was
merely legislation in the interest Of
Porto Rico. Justice Brown explicitly
said that the opinion was not to be
construed as a justification OF export
duties.
1t is generally believed that the
finding of the supreme court in the
Philippine case will lead to early eff
forts by congress to secure legislation
for the regulation of our commercial
relations with those islands
AS the Porto Rican opinion sustains
the constitutionality of the Foraker
act no such necessity will rise with
respect to Porto Rico.

CONGRESS is

OPENING DAY OF THE NATIONS
LEGISLATURE.
MANY BILLS INTRODUCED

Filled With Sight
Seers.
MANY BILLS INTRODUCED

Washington, Dec. 2.-Opening day,
of the first session Of the Fifty-seventh
congress, in the house of representa-
tives furnished spectacle that de-
lighted the crowded galleries. The
machinery of the house is cumberous
and is set in motion by laborious
process, but the spectators today evi-
IDENTIFY did not consider it tedious as
they clung to their places through the
entire proceedings, which lasted four
and one-half hours, probably half the
time being consumed in the monoton-
Gus calling of the roll.
Organization of the house was ac-
complished according to time honored
precedents.
Speaker Henderson was sworn in by
General Bingham, Father of the
house." and after delivering a very
graceful speech in recognition of the
honor bestowed upon him, he in turn
administered the oath to the mem
bers elect
The usual committees were appoint
ed to inform the president and SEN
ate that the house was organized and
ready to do business. A committee of
three consisting of Messrs. Payne,
Bingham and Richardson was appoint
ed to join similar committee Of the
senate and wait upon the president
and inform him that congress was
ready to receive any communication
he might have to make.
The biennial seat drawing was rob-
red of much Of it's interest today by
the fact that under the new arrange
ment of seats there are more than
enough to go around and those whose
names are drawn last don't suffer as
they did on former occasions.
The flower show which is a great
feature Of opening day was not as i'm
posing as usual. More flowers than
ever were sent to members but after
the seat drawing the house adjourned
before a third of them were brought
into the hall.

The Senate.

Washington, Dec. 2-Since the ad-
journment of the senate last spring,
the chamber has been redecorated and
recarpeted. The principal features of
its beauty and individuality have been
retained, but they have been added to
by artistic decorations, and bright
green carpet, with old gold figures,
has taken the place of the old gold
carpet of the last congress.
An hour before noon both public and
private galleries were thronged with
spectators, every available inch of
standing room being occupied. The
senators assembled slowly. Mr.. Kean
of New Jersey, was the first senator
to appear in the chamber. He was
closely followed by Tillman of South
Carolina, and Hoar of Massachusetts,
who soon after took his seat and bur-
led himself in newspaper.
The venerable senator from Mis-
souri,, Mr.. Vest, was in his seat 20
minutes before the august body was
called to order. He was accorded the
most cordial reception by his col
leagues. BY noon practically every
senator in the city had appeared in
the chamber. Many of them made
no attempt to reach their seats on ac-
count of the wealth of floral offerings
which fairly filled the desks and aisles.
After prayer by the chaplain, Gre
dentials were presented of Charles
H., Dietrich and Joseph H. Millard of
Nebraska; Alfred D. Kitteridge of
South Dakota and Paris Gibson of
Montana. Mr.. Frye administered to
them the oath of Office.
The usual committees were appoint
ed, and then Mr.. Gamble of South
Dakota formally announced the death
of Senator Kyle of that state on the
LIST of last July. He offered the usual
resolution expressive of the sorrow OF
the senate and after it's adoption the
senate as an additional mark Of re.
spect adjourned until tomorrow.

NOT FOREIGN
TERRITORY
DECISION IN FOURTEEN DIAMOND
RINGS CASE.
OPINION BY CHIEF JUSTICE
Held That Resolution Adopted BY
Congress Was Inef-
fective.

w
States supreme court today rendered
a decision in the case of Emil Pepke
VS.. United States. This is the case
known as the Fourteen Diamond
Rings Cast" and involves the consti-
tutionality of the imposition of Gus
toms duties upon merchandise brought
into the United States from the Phil
ippines islands after the exchange of
the peace treaty with Spain. The
opinion was handed down by Chief
Justice Fuller.
The opinion was adverse to the
claims of the government on the
ground that the Philippine islands
were at the time the rings we're
brought in, American territory. Ceas-
ing to be foreign territory they be-
came domestic territory, he said. The
decision in the Delima Porto Rican
cases were recited at length and it
was held that the resolution adopted
by congress concerning the Philip
pines was not sufficient to change the
situation.
In his opinion in the Philippine case,
Chief Justice Fuller said that the Phil
ippine islands ceased to be foreign ter
tory as soon as the Paris treaty of
peace was signed and the resolutions
to which he referred as being ineffec-
tive and not binding was the resolu-
ton adopted by the senate soon after
the ratification of the treaty.
The chief justice concluded his
opinion by reversing the decision Of
the court below. Justice Brown read
an opinion concurring in the result
but differing from the conclusions
drawn on minor points. Justices
Gray, Shiras, White and McKenna dis
sented. Much interest has been ex-
pressed in this Philippine case be-
cause of the probable necessity of leg
islation relating to the Philippines at
the present session of congress. The
records show that Pepke, who was re-
spondent in the court below, was a
soldier in the United States army of
Luzon, and while there and after the
ratification of the Paris treaty he pur-
chased the IA diamond rings, which
are involved in the case. He after
wards brought these rings while still
in the service of the United States
aboard the United States vessel trans
porting his regiment to San Francisco,
where he was mustered out. Later he
came with the rings to Chicago where
the rings were seized by customs Of
ficers under the claim that the Philip
pine islands were foreign territory and
merchandise brought from those is
lands to the United States was sub
jected to customes duties, which was
not paid by Pepke. Pepke set up
the claim that the imposition of duties
upon merchandise under the circum-
stances was contrary to the constitu-
tion of the United States and in vio-
lation of his rights as citizen.

With 1900 barrels of sperm oil and
1000 pounds of bone in her hold the
Whalir- bark Charles w. Morgan ar
rived lately from the South Seas and
the coast of Japan. The Morgan is
owned by William r. Wing of New
Bedford, Mass, who also owns the
whalers California and Alice Knowles,
both of which are returning from a
long cruise off the coast of Japan and
the islands of the Caroline group. The
California was spoken by the Morgan
on September 18th, and the Knowles
in July, but neither vessel had made
so large a catch as the Morgan The
Morgan is a type of the old whalers
which made New Bedford famous years
ago. She was built at that port in
1871, and is therefore much the Oldest
vessel doing business here, but in spite
of her age the old bark is apparently
sound and good for many more years.
Leaving here on December 18th last
the Charles w. Morgan sailed for the
sperm grounds near the Carolines, go
ing first to Bonapeta, and later to
Sipan and to the coast of Japan. All
but about 100 barrels of her big catch
was taken during the months of May
and June, when the crew was kept
busy day and night. The only accident
that occurred was off the Japanese
coast when boat containing the sec
into the air by a ninety-foot whale
which had been struck by a bomb. The
big fellow, after going down, arose un-
der the boat, SCATTERING the keel and
throwing the men in all directions.
They were uninjured and were at once
picked up by the first mate. The whale
was soon afterward caught, and fur
nished thirty-eight barrels of oil. There
was no sickness among the Morgan's
men during the long cruise
On Setember 9th, while in Japanese
waters. a native sealing schooner
spoke the Morgan and reported that
another japanese sealer had been over
taken by Russian man-Of-war, and
on account of the alleged impudence

to Copper island, in Behring sea, where
they were to be imprisoned. The name
of neither the schooner nor the Euro
pean were learned by the captain of

BIG PRICE FOR BONDS.

The United States per cents of 1925
have sold lately at 1873. This is the
HIGHEST price paid for these bonds. Once
before they sold at the same hgure
which was last February. Probably no
other bonds of the United States ever
sold as high. Even the currency Us
at one time the most -0ular bond is
sued by the United States, failed to
reach that figure. No better evidence
of Government credit is needed than
the price people are willing to pay for
these per cent bonds. Even fiat
rate interest of per cent is not an
extravagant figure in these days of
abundant money. But when there is
willingness to practically give away
nine and half years interest to get
such a fiat for the remainder of the life
of the bonds it shows that the security
must be considered gilt edge. 1t Is
doubtful if the per cent bonds of any
thor Government under the sum ever
