WASHINGTON, D.. c., Dec. 2.-The
opening day of the Fifty-seventh Con-
gress presented no sensational features.
The House and Senate met at high noon.
There was a big crowd at the Capitol.
1t was a cosmopolitan crowd

people were present when the gavel fell
at Il O'Clock to-day. Speaker Henderson

floor leaders during this session.
When Congress assembled at noon to-
day, every member of the Virginia dele
cation was present, excepting Senator
Daniel 1t was not a day of exciting
events in either house. The Senate re-
mained in session for about an hour and
selected Senator Frye to preside over that

was that the new members in both houses

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 2,-Opln-
ions were rendered in the United States
Supreme Court to-day in the last two OF
the insular test cases. One of them was
that known as ."rhe Fourteen Diamond
Rings case. involving the relationship OF
the United States to the Philippine Is
lands from a tariff point of view, @and
the other, which is known as the Dolley
case NO 9 involving. the constitution
ality of the collection of duty on goods
shipped from New York to Porto Rico.
In the former case the court, through
Chief Justice Fuller, held that the dia-
mond rings brought in from the Philip
pines, and over which the case. arose.
should have been exempt from duty ur-
der the Paris treaty of peace, as that
treaty made tbs Philippines American
territory.
The decision iusthe Philippine case fol-
lowed closely that of the first Philippine
case of the last term. In the Dolley case,
decided to-day. it was held that the duty
collected on goods carried from New YORK
to Porto Rico was permissible, but that
1t was in reality a tax for the benefit OF
the Porto Ricans themselves rather than
an export duty. which was claimed by
the merchants who anita gonized the Gov
ernment in the case.
8 In both cases there were dissenting
opinions, concurred in by four of the
nine Justices of the court.
It is generally believed that the finding
in the Philippine case will lead to early
efforts to secure legislation for the regu-
lation of our commercial relations with
those islands. "A s. the Porto Rico decis-

Mr.. Stevens suggested that he make the
five remaining certificates collateral for

Brandt placed them in his pocket and es-
clined to give them up. It was then
that Mr.. Stevens telephoned to Captain

an officer to arrest. Mr.. Brandt.

Mr.. William F. Campbell, made simple

The announcement of the sale of the

Mr.. Virginius Newton, president of the
First National Bank. which controls the
Gallego Mills property. admitted yester-
day that he had just had two offers for
the mill. and that the question Of ac-
cepting one or the other was still open.
He declined to say who the would-be pur-
cnasers were and what the offers were.
1t is learned, however, from an entire
ly reliable source that at least one of the
persons who has approached Mr.. New
ton on the subject is Mr.. c. K. Hannah,
of Philadelphia Mr.. Hannah came to

But what they did do was to go over the

Newton regarding the purchase of the
mills and finally make him an offer for
the purchase Of the property. They went
through the entire plant while here. Later
they saw Mr.. Newton. One question
that they particularly wished answered
was the amount of horse power that
could be developed at the mills. Mr.. New
ton sent one of his clerks to Mr.. .Bowe,

Relations of Philippines.

the Philippine Islands after the exchange
of ratification of the peace treaty with
Spain. The opinion was handed down
by Chief Justice Fuller. The record shows
that Pepke. who was the respondent in
the court below. was 4 soldier in the
army Of the United States in the island
of Luzon; that while there and after the
ratification Of the peace treaty he pur-
chased the fourteen diamond rings which
are involved in the case. He afterward
brought these rings. while still in the SER
vice of the United States. aboard the
United States vessel transporting his regi-
ment to San Francisco, where he was
mustered out. Later, he came with the
rings to Chicago. where the rings were
seized by the customs officers, under the
claim that the Philippines were foreign
territory; that merchandise brought from
those islands to the United States was:
subject to customs dues which were not
paid by Pepke- =
Pepke set up the claim that the imposi-
Stion of duties upon merchandise under
the circumstances was contrary to the,
Constitution OF the United States and in
violation of his rights as citizen.
PARTLY FOREIGN.
Chief Justice Fuller quoted somewhat ex-
tensively from the opinion OF the court in
the case of DeLima VS.. Bidwell. His
principal quotation from that case was
the paragraph setting forth the theory
that country remains foreign with re-
specific the tariff laws urtii Congress has
acted by embracing it within the Gus
toms. The opinion then continued as fol-
lows:
No reason is perceived for any Ter
ent ruling as to the Philippines BY the
third article of the treaty with Spain..
Spain ceded to the United States the
archipelago known as the Philippine
Islands. The Philippines thereby ceased,
in the langua ge of the treaty. to .be Span
ish' Ceasing to be Spanish. they ceased
TO be foreign country. They came under
the complete and absolute sovereignty
and dominion OF the United States. and
SO became territory of the United States.
