BY COUDERT
Argument in the Porto Rican
Customs Cases.
The DingIey Act Cannot Apply to Porto Rico
as it is Not Foreign
Country.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Jan. S.-Argument was
begun in the United States Supreme court
this afternoon in the Porto Rcan custom
cases now before that court. The five
consolidated cases were taken up and F.
r. Coudert spoke in behalf of the plain
tiffs against the Government in the case
known as the Dilema case.
He said the Dilemas had paid the duty
under protest and had brought their suit
to recover against Collector Bidwell as
an individual and not as an official, be-
cause they had not looked upon the
bringing in of the goods as an importa-
ton. Hence the act applying 20 the adj
ministraton of the customs law did not
apply.
Justice Harlan remarked incidentally
| that if the court was found to be without
jurisdiction that discovery would de-
termine the case and thus avoid the
necessity of further proceedings.
| Mr.. Coudert contended that the Paris
Treaty has the force of law until super
seeded. Hence by that treaty Porto Rico
had come completely under the sovereign
ty and dominion of the United States.
He argued that the clause of the Paris
Treaty leaving the determination of the
civil rights and political status of the
native inhabitants to Congress was
merely declaratory of the power given
by the Constitution to withhold political
rights and franchises, and to establish
civil government and establish civil law
in all places where no state government
exists"
He laid down the general proposition
that the Constitution is a charter or
grant of powers conferred upon the Fed
eral Government by the people of the
United States. and hence that the Federal
Government has no existence outside the
Constitution. Therefore, he said, it was
an impossibility for the United States to
possess territory beyond its 'constitu-
tional boundaries
Mr. Coudert asserted that as the Ding
ley act imposed duty only on goods inn
ported from foreign countries" it could
have no applicability to goods brought
from Porto Rico to the United States as
Porto Rico ceased to be foreign" after
the ratification of the Paris Treaty. Such
an act was violation of the constitution
al provision requiring uniformity of du-
ties throughout the United States.
He referred to the anomaly of giving
courts which were not, according to the
contention of the Governments counsel,
courts of the United States, power to make
citizens of the United States as territorial
courts do by naturalization.

FURTHER RESERVATIONS.
COMPULSORY PlLOTAGE Law.
An Effort Will be Made to Have it Abolished
This Session.

Especial to News and Observer
Wilmington, n. c., Jan. 9.-An interest
ing question from New Hanover, which
will come up before the Legislature at
this session, will be the abolition of the
compulsory pilotage law, requiring cap
tains of all vessels coming into this
port to provide themselves with the SER
vices of a licensed pilot. The cost for
each trip of a vessel for this service
averages from $50 to $3.50, and the lum-
Der mill men here. who charter large
numbers of vessels each year, have be-
gun a war upon what they term a great
hindrance TO the development of the port
and an infringement upon their rights.
About thirty pilots at Southport under
the name Of the "Cape Fear Pilots AS
ISOLATION" are organized to fight the
abolition in case it gets to the Legisla
ture and it is said they will be able to
present very plausible argument in
favor of the continuance of the law. The
matter will be heard by the Chamber
of Commerce tomorrow and a recommen-
dation will be made by that body to the

Suit Against the Castellanes
az the Assooiated Press

10y the ASSOCldi6u ITeSS.J
Paris, Jan. 9.-The hearing of the suit
of Charles Wertheimer, the London brio
a-brac dealer against Count and
Countess de Castellane to recover pay
ment for art objects sold to the defend
ants, the transaction taken as a test
case involving the sum of 1886 francs.
was resumed today before the first civil
tribunal of the Seine. The session was
devoted TO the usual summing up by the
representative Of the Minister OF Jus4
tice and the case was then adjourned for
week, when judgment will be pro-
nounced.
The speaker today expressed an opin-
ion in favor of the Castellanes' demand
for the appointment of experts to de-
termine the value of some of the articles
involved, but only in the case of OBJ
jects exchanged since 1899. The transac-
tons UP to June, 1892 he considers en-
tirely settled and expresses the opin-
ion that the court was not justified in
going back to them. But the operations
dating from June, 1899, were different. He
instanced the case of bin for 1885, 75
francs which was left unsettled, even
though Wetheimer was engaged in MAX
ing exchanges during the course of which
Wetheimer paid money to Count de Cas-
tellane, the operations involving sums
aggregating two millions. These trans
actions, were, in his opinion, open to the
suspicion of being of an usurious char
acter, which justified the appointment of
experts 10 appraise the articles which
Court de Castelane claimed were taken
By Wetheimer at an inferior valuation.
He came to the same conclusion in the
case of Asher VS.. Wertheimer.

IT'S a QUESTION OF HORSES.
Lord Raglan Talks About Difficulties in the
South African War
CBy the Associated Press.

London, Jan. s.--Lord Raglan, under
Secretary of State for War who was in
terviewed today by a representative of
can situation, said:
THE condition OF affairs in South Afri-
ca absolutely forbids prophesy. You can
not call 1t war, yet in some respects it
is worse than war. 1t is well nigh inn
possible to fight in the ordinary way
against a people who have no uniforms
For week, perhaps for month, Boer
goes out to fight. Then he says, i am
sick of this buries his gun end becomes
in all respects a peaceable farmer. Yet
the very next week the spirit moves him
and he digs up his gun and joins his
commando. It is terribly hard to deal
equitably with such a character.
1.-THE secret of the whole thing consists
in horses. We have enough men there
but not enough mounted men. This is
not due to the paucity Of supply sent out
but to the difficulty of acclimatng the
animals. The trouble is that fresh
horses have been sent up the country
before they were hardened to the eli
mate.
THE army Is getting eight thousand
horses month now end we are going ia
begin to commander horses throughout
the disturbed regions. One would think
the Beers would prefer to get fair
price for their animals from the British
to giving them up to General De Wet for
nothing. Personally l believe we should
have begun this plan before now
What with depriving the Beers OF
mounts and transforming all our men
into mobile bodies. capable of pursuing
detached commanders We trust the COM
mandoes may be run to earth, although ii
is arduous work
