LYNCH BREAKING DOWN.
Accusing Witness in. Conspiracy
 Case Is Weakening.

Chicago, Dec. 2.-Former Bailif James J. Lynch, the accusing witdess, resumed the stand in the Sullivan conspiracy case today. He said that it was arranged to reimburse his bondsmen when he had been persuaded to jump his bond" He was given $500 to pay his expenses, and s, 750 for his bondsmen. Then he went to Canada.
 Attorney Hard for Mir. Sullivan in the co urse of his remarks, assailed Lynch as a gambler, a burglar and man with record of a long line of criminality antedating his service as court bailfn. He charged that Lynch had deserted his wife and taken another wonan with him, while in hiding. He implied that this vas the real motive for Lynch's long ab- sence. MT. Hardy began with Lynch's life in New York. He found out that Lynch had lived the last year there at a boarding house kept by a Mrs Corners. In reply to questions by Hardy Lynch admitted that he was known there by the name of Corners.
 MT Hardy asked by what other name Mrs. Corners was known in Chicago. He was not allowed to have an answer. His statement to the Judge was that she was the daughter of Chicago preacher and that for time while friendly to Lynch she had lived with Lynch's mother,
 Some fear is expressed by the State that Lynch may break down under the fierce fire from the attorneys for the defense, as he was unable. this afternoon. to answer many of the questions of defend- ants counsel in a specific way.

down in the Downs case, another of the insular cases decided at the last term. The decision of the lower court was affirmed. Justice Brown explicitly said that the opinion was not to be construed as a justification of export duties. Justice White concurred in the result, but delivered an independent decison.
 This case grows out of the imposition of tariff duty on goods shipped from New York to Porto Rico May l, 1901, to October 23 of the same year, under the act of April 12, 1900, providing revenues and a civil government for Porto Rico, the sum involved being $ .4SS.
 This money was collected at Porto Rico on goods shipped to the port by Dooley, Smith & Co.,. to their agent who was in San Juan. The collections were imposed under that portion of the law in question which provides that all merchandise com- ing into Porto Rico from the United States shall be entered at the several ports of entry upon payment of 15 per cent of the duty levied and collected on like articles of merchandise imported from foreign countries into the United States and under the Dingley tariff law"
 Dooley, Smith & Co.,, brought suit in the circuit court of the United States south- ern district of New York to recover the money paid by them which they declared had been wrongfully collected at San Juan To their petition the United States demurred on the ground that the com plaint did not state facts sufficient to constitute a caues of action. Judge Lacomb of the New York court, sustained the demurrer upon the second point. The case was carried from his court to the Supreme Court
 The contention on the part of Dooley's 8 counsel was that Congress had not the power under the constitution to impose taxes or duties, such as were levied under the act of April 12. upon articles taken into Porto Rican ports from other ports of the United States, Porto Rico being an integral portion of the nation.
 The Chief Justice and Justices Harlan. Brewer and Peckham united in dissent ing opinion in the Dooley case which was handed down by the Chief Justice. They held that the duty imposed was export in character and that the fact that 1t was levied for the benefit of Porto Rico did not change its character.
