Notwithstanding The fact that as a
whole the local machinists did not
strike-they are not entitled to the

LEGISLATIONIS NEEDED
Supreme Court Decision in tho
lnsular Cases May Mean
an Extra Session.
LAW WANTED IN THE PHILIPPINES
One Now in Process of Construction
That May Do-How They Feel
in Porto Rico.

Cedar Rapids, Ia, May 29.-It was
learned while the presidential train
stopped here yesterday that the presi-
dent and the members of the cabinet
spent much of the time reading and
discussing the published reports of the
opinions of the supreme court in the
insular cases. They were much inter-
ested in the way the court divided in
the two cases. The decision in the De
Lima case, if followed in the Philip
pines case-as it is assumed it will be
might result in the calling of an eN-
ira session OF congress. In the De
Lima case the court decided that the
duties collected on Porto Rican goods
before congress enacted the Foraker
law, were Illegal and must be refund
ed
Effect of the Decision.
Ii is presumed that the court, fol-
lowing the same lines of reasoning,
will decide that the duties collected oil
goods from the Philippines We're also
illegal, and were and are subject to
free entry into the United States until
congress acts as il has already done in
the case of Porto Rico. Such a deci-
sion would mean not only the refund
ing of duties heretofore collected. but
would open the ports of the United
States to merchandise and goods of
every description from the Philippines
until congress meets in December.
sImporters Might Coin Money.
Ii is palpable that importers might
take advantage OF this to ship goods
into the United States through the
Philippines. and thus defraud the gov
ernment of its revenues. Whether the
danger from this source is great enough
TO warrant the calling OF congress in
extra session is one which will he de-
cided only after full deliberation. 1t
is possible. however. that this danger
may have been already obViated in the
enactment of the SpOoner resolution
delegating temporarily to the president
the power to govern the Philippines.
Might BE Made TO Work.
This may lie considered an act Of
congress within the meaning of the
nOwnes decision affirming the consti-
tutionality OF the Foraker law. But
IL is n delicate question. and one which
the president and his advisers viii
consider in all its bearings before com
ing to conclusion. The members of
the eabiuet decline to discuss the sub
ject for publication.

first report OF the supreme courts de-

here Monday night. which was inter

ports from Porto Rico to the United
States to be unconstitutional. was re-
eeIved here with great satisfaction
Yesterday. when the full report of the
De Lima ease was published. there
was evidenced general feeling of dis
appointment among Porto Rican mer-
chants. who had hoped that the court $
decision would give them n years free
trade. Porto Ricans are reluctants TO
believe that the full report is true
The consensus OF opinion of the mat
ter seems to be that the Porto Rican

Havana, May 29.-The Platt amend

stitutiOnal convention yesterday by Il
vote of l. to II. The actual vote was
on accepting the majority report OF

bodied the amendment with explana-
tions of certain clauses. The Radicals
made Il hard fight at the last moment,
and POrtuondO. Gomez and TamayO
bitterly arraigned the Conservatives.
TayamO was particularly vindictive,
and declared that everybody who vot-
ed in favor of the Platt amendment
was IL traitor to his country. The con-
ventiOn compelled him TO retract this
statement. On several occasions per-
Sonal encounters seemed imminent.
Gomez spoke for more than an hour,
and his speech undoubtedly won over
Castro, RObau and Manduley. He ap-
pealed TO the patriotism of delegates,
and rehearsed the long fight for indie
pendence, denouncing as perjurers all
who favored the Platt amendment, Oh
the ground that they had sworn TO
draw up a constitution for an indie
pendent republic. Several COnserva-
tiveS rose and asked Gomez to retract,
but he absolutely refused.

JUSIUS LOSES FAT FEES
SESSMENT DISPUTE FILED
IN TIME
NO SEIZURE PROCEEDINGS
Legal Procedure Will Take Place of
ForcfbIy Collecting City's
Claim by Sherif's
Deputies.

With the answer OF the street ra lway
company filed Monday in the district
court relative to what it calls an ar
Bit airy assessment on It's property and
incidentally attacking the right of the
county to collect the same, Sheriff Phil
Justus loses, for the time being, a fat
pick up, in the shape Of $1,000 in fees
and what he would have thoroughly en-
joyed, the privilege of running the street
railway and transferring the general
Offices to his little den in the court house.
Had the company failed to make answer
within the time prescribed, Sheriff JUS
tus and his minions, armed with judg-
ment against the road FOR cool $50, 0G0,
wo&ld have proceeded to take formal
possession of all of the property of the
Twin City Rapid Transit company, To-
Gated in St. Paul, and until that $4,000
was satisfied.
To satisfy the debt, 100000 fares would
be required, but as the st. Paul street
railway is conceded to be a veritiable
gold mine, Sheriff Justus is of the opinion
that he could do the job nicely and
without any inconvenience to the travel
ing public. Phil" whose avcirdupois
hardly fits him for the task of slipping
through mass of humanity, clinging to
straps and picking up stray nickels,
which the public simply carry to enrich
soulleSs corporation, would have to
train down, but his friends are authority
for the statement that he would get
there. Fares please" and "step for
ward" with the addition of street calls
in a soto voce voice, and pronunciation
foreign TO the prescribed language Of St
Paul, are merely side hnes,and a few
days practice would have fitted him for
any position in the gift of that autocrat
of the riding public Mr.. Thomas Lowry.
While pulling fares and pocketing the
proceeds would have been one method of
satisfying the debt, the sale of the road
and cars under the hammer would have
also brought the coin While the latter
would have been the easiest method.
yet the satisfaction of fun would not
have been half as great as under the
first named scheme of depicting the cash
box nightly.
To do the job properly deputy would
have been stationed on every car and the
money as collected by the conductor
would receive tab by the limb Of the
law At the central Offices deputies
would also be in control, and not
nickel would get beyond their hands,
AS to schedules, transfers and other
minor matters, Sheriff Justus has not
given thought, but he positive that if
confronted with the situation he could
remedy it.
The tax judgments will be in The
hands of the sheriff by the twenty-third
and on and after that date he will lew
on everything that has failed to liouidate
or taken steps to stop him. The Mime
sofa Grass Irvine company which is be-
hlnd 5000 in their taxes, has so far fail
ed to do anything toward a settlement
outside of the Street Railway company.

CONSIDERATION OF BISHOP OFF LON
DON MARKED BY SCENES OF
DIS0RnTIR

LONDON, April 1.-THE scene in Bow
church today during the conservation of
the Right Rev A. F. w. Ingram as b,sh-
op Of London resemb, ed political meet
ing rather than a religious service. John
Kens1t, the anti-ritualist, entered an ex-
pected protest against the appointment.
He spoke for some time in a loud voice.
His remarks caused an extra ordinary up
roar, and he was greeted with chez. g,
Kisses and shouts Of Order shame, -
mo popery," ETC.
Mr.. Kensit, in the course of his re-
marks, accused DR.. Ingram Of being I'M
faithful to all OF his promises when he
was consecratcd bishop Of Stepney, add
Ing that he had helped laworeakers. had
encouraged clergymen who, in defiance Of
the rubrics, elevated the host, offering
masses and practiced tine confession etc.
He concluded with saying that he was
prepared to appear in the courts and
prove that DR.. Ingram was an unfit per-
son to hold the position of bishop Of the
Protestant church, owing to his encour-
agement of these Illegal Romsh praott- es
sit became so uproarious that the vicar
general tried to clear the church. DR.. In
gram appealed to his friends to listen
quietly.
Eventually the vicar general over-ruled
the objections and the election Of DR.. In
gram was confirmed.
DisOrderiy scenes and hustling required
outside the church and finally Mr.. Kensit
was escorted home by score of police
men and followed by bowling mob.

ton of President Joseph Smith to his
people was read to the conference of the
reOrganized church Of Latter Day SfS&2ts

ton came to the prophet after the saints
had INDUCED in season of fasting and
prayer last Sunday
1t has been in the hands Of the various
quorums since Monday and was approved
by them. Today it was opened by the
conference without a protest and it thus
became part of the religion of 5000
persons all CT whom believe it of divine
origin. The revelation directs that Presi,
dent Anderson be chosen to fill the va
cancy in the quorum of twelves the
rules Of representation remain as they
are till the growth Of the church renders
a change necessary; that two new stakes
be established, one at independence, Mo,
and one at Lamont TO- that the church
provide tracts III Scandinavian, German
Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese and other
languages as the missions require, and
that Conner r. Griffin be sent to England
in the interest of foreign missionary
work. Also that the missionary work Of
the church be prosecuted in Austria,
and the islands Of the sea.
Much attention is given to the duties of
evangelical ministers, their relations to
the church and the rules governing
them; other questions Of Importance to
the church are given consideration.
After the revelation was accepted, the
conference transacted routine business.
