section of the bill is as follows:
'"That no alien anarchist shall here

judged the convicted alien, after under
going such punishments, shall be- de-

THE INSULAR CASES.
Important Decisions Handed Down
D by Supreme Court.
Government Must Repay Duties Col
lected ON Imports from. Philip
's' pines-Customs Levied Against
Porto Rico Are Legal.

Washington, Dec. 3.-Porto Rico and
the Philippines became domestic terri
tories Immediately upon the ratitica-
ton of the treaty Of peace. The con-
stitution followed the flag to all of the
islands, and they Immediately became
territories of the United States.
Duties levied in this country against
the products of those islands under the
Dingley law were illegal and must be
returned, but merely because of the
failure of congress to act. The islands
never have been foreign since the
treaty of peace.
The power of congress to pass laws
for the regulation OF the territories is
unrestricted. It comes from the con-
stitution itself.
The Foraker act, providing civil gov
eminent for Porto Rico, is constitu-
tional. The duties it levied in the
United States and in Porto Rico alike
were legally collected because they
were imposed by an act passed in pur-
suance of the constitutional right of
congress to govern the territories as it
sees fit.
Allduties collected on goods between
the United States and the Philippines
under the Dingley tariff are illegal, be-
cause the Dingley tariff specifically
likes duties on goods coming from for
elgn countries, whereas the Philip
pines are domestic.
Congress Can Provide Tariff.
The right of congress to legislate for
the government of the Philippines is
affirmed, and under that right a special
tariff can be provided by congress at
San Francisco and at Manila on goods
going in either direction.
The Philippines are in exactly the
same condition as Porto Rico was
just prior to the passage Of the For
aker act. AS soon as congress legis-
lates for the Philippines those islands
can have free trade or otherwise with
the United States or with other coun-
tries, as congress sees fit.
These general principles embody
the sum and substance of the two i'm
portant decisions handed down in the
supreme court Monday.
Will Result In LEGISLATION.
The immediate result of the decisions
will be the passage of a law by con.
! gress establishing a form of civil gov
eminent, no matter how simple, fol
the Philippine islands, and establish
| ing tariffs on goods entering the is
lands from the United States or else
where. The same act will provide fol
the collection of taxes in the United
| States on the products of the Philip
| pines, and those will not be at the Ding
I ley rates, but at such rates IS congress
| shall fix. The new law will be in it:
| general principles the same as thu
| tariff features of the Foraker act, be
cause it will provide and must pro
vide under the ruling of the court tina
the taxes levied on goods brough,
from the Philippines shall be used fol
the government of these islands anc
shall not be turned into the treasury
at all.
