MkINLEY POLICY SUSTAINED.
Solicitor General Says the Decision Is
Goxernment Victory.


Washington, May 2s.-Solicitor Cen
eral Richards. Of the department Of
justice. who had charge of the lnsular
cases before the supreme court last
night made the following statement
containing his Interpretation of the
decisions Of the court yesterday: The
important question involved in these
cases was whether the cession Of terri
tory contained in the treaty Of Paris
made Porto Rico and the Philippines
al integral part Of the United States
within the meaning Of that provision
Of the constitution requiring all dut. es.
impoSts and excuses TO he uniform
throughout the United States. Tie
court held that the ceSsion simply
made Porto Rico and the Philippines
domestic territory of the United States,
subject to the full control of congress.
which control could be exercised with
out reference to those limitations.
This limitation, the court held. was
intended to apply TO the states OF tile
Union, and does not apply to acquired
territory unless by treaty and by sub
sequent act Of congress it is fncorpor-
ated within and becomes an integral
part of the United States. The deci-
sions are substantially a victory for
the government They sustain to the
fullest extent the so-cailed insular pol
icy of the administration The gov
eminent now has the sanction of the
supreme court for governing these isl
ands as their needs and our interests
require
The court holds that the constitu-
ton did not of its own force nj once
apply to these coded territories. placing
their people, their products and their
ports on an immediate equality with
ours, and comforting upon them all the
rights privileges and immunities en-
joyed by the people, products and ports
OF the several states. While their fun
damental rights are preserved by those
underlying principles of the constiIu-
ton which apply everywhere the
status of their citizens and the nature
OF the customs and commercial regula-
tons are to he determined by congress
by the exercise of the power vested by
the constitution in congress to make all
needful rules and regulations respect
ing territory belonging to the United
States.
obviously what | lfave said regard
ing Porto Rico applies equally well to
the Philippines. so that the president is
perfectly free, under the Spooner act,
to govern the Philippines as their needs
and our interests may require.
AT the same time the court has suS-
tanned to the fullest extent the con
tention of the government in these
cases. it ha decided MS a matter of
statutory c, B truction that the Dingley
act could noe be held to impose duties
on goods brought from Porto Rico be
cause by cession Porto Rico became
domestic territory of the United States
and therefore ceased to be "a foreign
country The decisions of the court
call for no change in the administra-
ton of the law

POINTS OF run Two OPINIONS.
Makes Distinction to the status Of the
IsIand nt Different Times.

The point Of the two opinions, con-
sidered collectively, is that Porto Rico
Was never. after the acquisition of that
island. foreign territory: that until con
gresS acted upon the question no duty
could be collected. but that as soon as
congress outlined a method of con
trolling the islands revenues that &C
ton became binding-in other words.
that congress has power under the con
Stitution to prescribe the manner Of
collecting the revenues of the country :
iESular possessions. and has the right
to lay 4 duty on goods imported into
our inSular possessions from the Unit
Ell States. Ii holds, in brief. that for
taxation purposes they are not a part
Of the United States 20 the extent that
goods shipped between their ports and
the United States are entitled To the
