PORTO RICAN CASES.
Briefs FITTED by counssi--Nr. Carlisle
WIN File Meme.

washington, January 7.--Ex-Secretary
Carlisle who appears as the leading coun-
sel against the government In the Porto
Rican customs cases, the argument In
which will begin In the United States
Supreme caurt tomorrow, will not file an
individual brief but will content himself
with the verbal presentation OF his views.
His name, however, appears as OF coun-
sal in the brief In the Dooly cases, in
voIying the right to assess duties on ar
ticss brought into Porto Rico from
"Other parts Of the United States and
also ssnt from Porto Rico ''into other
parts OF the United States before and af-
ter the Paris treaty of peacs and also af-
ter Congress passed the Porto Rioan aot.
MIR. Henry Nj. Ward filed these briefs In
the supreme court today:
Following is a summary Of the argu-
ment:
First-At all times since the ratifica-
tion of the treaty, Porto Rico has been q
part of the United States.
Second--As n consequence OF the treaty,
the entire sovereignty over Porto Rico
has tecome vested In the United States,
but the executive and Legislative DEPART
ments OF the Federal government have
only such power In relation to Porto Rico
as Is granted to them by the constitution.
Third-The President had not the pow
ar under the constitution to make or en-
force tue order OF January 20. 1899, in so
far as 1t imposed duties upon articles OF
merchandise brought into Porto Rico
from other parts of the United Statss.
Fourth-Uongress had not the power
under the constitution to impose the
taxes or duties imposed by the act Of
April 12, 1900 upon articles OF merchan-
disc brought into Porto Rico from othsr
parts of tbs United States or into other
parts of tbs United States from Porto
Rico.
In sustaining these points. no time Is
spent in discussing the power of the
United States to acquire and hold outside
territory, that power having 'bscome
firmly established.
In support of the first point 1t is con-
tended that by operation Of the Paris
treaty Porto Rlco has become as much q
part of the United States as any one of
the organized states or territories.

Pittsburg Post: The greatest steel
structure In the world, so far as rail-

wonderful bridge Of the Erie railroad
across the Kinzua valley in Mexican
county. The original bridge was a
marvel and was considered one of the
wonders Of the new world. The old
abutments are used to support the new
structure.
This original structure was found 10
be too weak for the modern heavy en-
gines and cars of the Erie railroad, and
last May traffic on this branch was
suspended. 1t extends from Carrollton,
on the main line, to ~Johnsonburg, a
distance of 43.2 miles, and passes
through Bradford, Custer City and Mt.
Jewett and connects with the narrow
guage division OF the Pennsylvania and
Western railroad. 1t traverses a wal

Paris. June 3.-The French papers
only now are discussing the decision
OF the United States supreme court In
tho irsular cases. The Temps says:
IF rumors are true, the judges have
not succeeded in maintaining them
selves pure nor true TO austere prin-
cip,es. but have become accessible to
the arguments and sophisms OF poll
ticians. Their decision is an act Of the
highest gravity and tantamount to a
triumph for the Mckinley school Of

spread eagleism and the pertisans Of
a permanent army. On the other hand.
citizens favoring progress and econ
omic reforms, who are faithful to the
ideas OF Washington, Jefferson and
Lincoln, are filled with anxiety and
sadness"
The Journal des DeBats considers
hat the decision implies that the an
ncxed territories cannot invoke the
benefits Of the United States constitu-
ton. and hat congress can impose any
regime II likes, saying:
I'm short. the American dependencies
resemble the English crown colonies.
We do not think the American idea OF
protecting the countries they ave from
so-called European tyranny Is en-
c%ouraging TO the Latin states OF Amer

CoNFEKs WITH SENATOR'S.
Mckinley Discusses tuba with Platt,
Fairbanks and Lodge.

Mckinley Discusses Cuba With Ptatt,
Fairbanks and Lodge.
Washington, June 3.-Senators Plat
of Connecticut, Lodge of Massachusetts,
and Fairbanks of Indiana, had an
hours consultation with the president
before the cabinet meeting today. The
Cuban situation was under discussion
and the president was DESTROYS of OBJ
tanning the views Of those senators az
to whether the action Of the constitu-
tional convention was substantial
acquiescence in the Plat amendment.
The senators who talked with the
president do not feel at liberty to ex-
press their opinions as to what should
or will be done. They say the whole
matter Is one for the executive to de-
eide, as the amendment authorizes the
president to ~relinquish control of Cuba
when a government has been estab-
lished, which substantially agrees to Its
terms.
There Is a great deal of addenda in
the way OF explanation and interpreta-
ion in the report of the Cuban COM
mittee on relations which has been
adopted at Havana, hat is wholly I'M
satisfactory to the president and also
to those who have been consulting with
him. One of the most Objectionable
features is the addition of words say
ing the action of the United States L.
n amplification OF the Monroe doctrine.
1t is emphatically stated by some of
those who have been present at the
conferences here that the Monroe doc
trine has nothing whatever to do with
the present situation in Cuba.
1t Is stated the earnest desire Of the
president Is to retire from Cuba at the
earliest possible moment consistent
with the best interests of the people of
the island and the future relations be-
tween the new government and the
United States. The problem Is whether
withdrawal under the amended Plat
law will accomplish this result.
