TWO IMPORTANT CASES.
"Fourtesn Diamond Rings" and Dooley De
cisions Handed Down.

Washington, Dec. 3.-Opinions have
been rendered in the United States SUI
preme court in the last two OF the insu-
lar test cases. In the "Fourteen Dia-
mond Rings case" the court, through
Chief Justice Fuller, held that the dia-
mond rings brought in from the Philip
pines and over which the case arose,
should have been exempted from duty
under the Paris treaty OF peace, which
made the Philippines American territory.
The decision in the Philippine case fol-
lowed closely that OF the first Puerto
Rican case at the last term. In the
Dooley case it was held that the duty
collected on goods carried from New York
to Puerto Rico was permissible, but that
it was in reality tax for the benefit of
the Puerto Ricans themselves, rather
than export duty, as was claimed by the
merchants who antagonized the govern
ment.
In both cases there were dissenting
opinions, concurred in by four of the
nine Justices OF the court.

PRINCIPALLY FLOWERS.
Display on Senatorial Desks the Principal
Feature Of the Opening Session.

Washington. Dec. "a profusion of
floral offerings, quite unusual in guam
tity, variety and beauty, transformed
the senate chamber into veritable
flower show. Almost every member of
the body was the recipient OF one or
more OF these evidences of the regard of
his friends, and the atmosphere of the
chamber was heavy with the odor of
rare plants and blossoms. The display
of chrysanthemums was notably beauti-
full, many of the specimens being OF the
choicest varieties.
After prayer by the chaplain and the
appointment OF the usual committee

ident that the senate was in

O'Clock, but no report OF the organization
OF the house being received at that time,
Mr.. Gamble, of South Dakota, formally
announced the death of Senator Kyle, of
that state, on the lst of last July. He
offered the usual resolution expressive of
the sorrow OF the senate, and after its
adoption the senate, as an additional
mark Of respect, adjourned until tomor-
raw.

TO REPAY DUTIES.
Cabinet Considers the Effect Of the Fourteen
Diamond Rings Case.

Washington, Dec. A. The cabinet
meeting yesterday was principally con-
sumed in discussion OF the insular de-
cisions handed down by the supreme
court. On the whole, it is believed the
views of the majority OF the court were
quite satisfactory to the administration.
1t was pointed out that the ultimate re-
suits of the decisions are in measure
speculative at present with the excep-
ton that the customs duties collected in
this country on goods shipped from the
Philippines since the ratification OF the
Paris treaty will have to be refunded.
1t is not thought, however, that the
aggregate will be large and Secretary
Gage expects that it will be within one
million dollars. He called attention to
the fact that the great bulk of the i'm
ports from the Philippines were admit
ted free of duty under our general tariff
laws, notably hemp, which is one OF the
leading staples of the islands.

To Kill insects.

1t may not be generally known that
skim milk or buttermilk readily mixes
with kerosene. forming an emulsion
which destroys insects without danger
or injury to animals or plants on which
they might be that might result ON
the use Of pure oil and water, says the
American Cultivator. We first learned
of this from using this mixture for the
scale insect, or mite, which causes
scaly legs on fowls. We found that one
or two clippings or washings with it
would cure the worst case of scaly leg
and leave the skin as smooth as when
first Matched. We never had occasion
to try it for lousy animals, for we new
err had one. but we do not hesitate to
recommend it, and we have lately seen
it's use advised for ticks on sheep.

haps the larger tick may need strong

Ahout Selling .ADD,es,

If apples are sold to commission men
or fruit dealers it Is best to consult
them as to the time and manner OF
picking. grading and packing. says
Farmers Tribune. They are familiar
with the wants of the trade and know
best how to meet its demands. A large
crop of good winter apples can some
times be disposed Of to the best advan-
tage by selling In the orchard for a
lump sum. This obviates the work and
worry Of marketing. and holding such
a perishable crop for higher prices Is
risky business. 1t Is not apt to pay
unless one is a good judge Of the mar
ket and the fruit Is well stored. Where
the apples are sold on the trees one
should be able to correctly estimate the
quantity of apples on tree and know
the highest price which they will COM
mand on the market. But however the
crop Is sold. 1t Is well for the orchard
list to have the picking under his con-
troll, as trees are often injured. limbs
broken. etc.

Sugar Rect Culture.

We have not been an advocate OF
sugar-beet growing because we have
believed that a good farmer can grow
other crops on good land with less la
Dor that will bring more money, but
we have not tried to injure the busi-
ness. as German paper would do
when it says. "Plow in the spring. re-
CARELESS of mud and water. Stop every
drain that may be carrying the water
away from the beet fields. Fall plow-
ing is to retain the moisture. Spring
blowing must aim to secure every bit
of moisture for the beet field We
have grown some sugar beets. not Tor
the factory. but for stock feeding. and
we would say to any one growing for
either purpose do not pillow or sow the
seed until the ground is dry and firm.
TO pillow "regardlcss Of mud and water"
will insure a small crop Of beets that
are scarcely worth feeding to the COW
or pigs. Fall blowing should be done
to relieve the land Of moisture and not
to retain it, and thus it should be, when
it is possible, up and down the side
hills instead Of around them, that the
water may be drained off by the bot
tom of the furrow, below the earth that
is turned over. AS we never visited
Germany we will not say the advice Is
not good there, but we know Of no part
of the United States where we think 1t
would be good. But we will give
little bit of what we think is better
advice. If you grow sugar beets do

you have cattle or hogs to feed them to.

FINANCES IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Congress Requested to Take Action on the
Situation.

Manila, Dec. 2.-The financial situa.
ton in the Philippine islands is causing
much concern. In an interview published
in Manila, Henry G. Ide, chief OF the
department of office and justice, referred
to the probable enforcement OF an alter
alton, in the immediate future, of the
present government parity Of two Next
can dollars for one gold dollar. The
United States postofiice here now refuses,
except to government employees, to issue
money orders in exchange for Mexican
silver. The banks of Manila have been
making from six to eight per cent. on
exchange. Merchants and others are
forced to carry their accounts in Next
can silver. The commercial community
had relied upon the United States Philip.
pine commission to continue the parity
of two Mexican dollars for one gold
dollar, which the commission itself
created.
The commission is unable to act in the
matter without the authority of congress.
This authorization has been requested.

of the war department to investigate the

of war recommendations for remedial
legislation, who is now in Washington,

on this matter.
The stores OF Manila are compelled to
accept the two Mexican dollars for one
gold dollar, while Chinese spectators are
paying as high as per cent premium in
American paper for American gold.
Local bankers say that if the salaries
of all insular employees were paid in the
local or Mexican currency, indepen-

ISTHMIAN CANAL COMM SSlON
IN ITS REPORT
To Congress Says II Has Advantages Over
the Panama Route-Estimated Cost Is
$iS9,S64. 062-Panama Route Would Cost
Less for Work, but the Concession Is too
hgh-Two Bills introduced.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE report OF the
Isthmian canal commission was sent to
congress today. The commission, as
anticipated several weeks ago, favors the
Nicaragua route, and makes an estimate
of $1S9, 1854 ,O62 as the total cost of con-
struction of the canal through Nicaragua.
The estimated cost of the Panama route
is $144 ,2333 1853, but the report says it
would cost $109, 10l 900 to obtain the
Panama concession. The commission
values the work done at SAC, 100000.
The report says the Panama route is
feasible as a sea level canal, while the
Nicaragua route must be by locks, but
Lake Nicaragua will furnish an mex
haustible supply OF water for the canal.
The Nicaragua route has no natural har-
bOrs at either end, but satisfactory har-
bors may he constructed. Harbors al
ready exist at each end Of the Panama
route, but considerable work must be
done at the entrance of the harbor on
the Atlantic side. With adequate force
and plant the commission estimates that
the Nicaragua canal can be completed in
six years, exclusive OF two years Tor
preparation. Ten years is estimated to
complete the Panama canal. The total
length of the Nicaragua route is 1886
miles and the Panama route 1909. The
estimated cost of operating and main
tanning the Nicaragua canal annually is
81 100000 greater than that of the Pan
anna canal The estimated time for Il
deep draught vessel to pass through the
Panama canal is IL hours and through
the Nicaragua canal SO hours. The Mic
aragua route, the report says, is more
advantageous for commerce, save that
originating on the west coast of South
America. For the gulf ports the advan-
tage is two days and for most of the ports
on the Atlantic and Pacific one day.
The Nicaragua route is said to be better
for sailing vessels on account of favoring
winds. Hygenic conditions also favor
Nicaragua. The commission says the
United States should acquire control of
strip of territory ten miles wide, from
sea to sea, through which to build the
canal. The consent of Nicaragua and
Costa RIGA must be obtained to construct
the canal, but the report says this can
be easily secured. The concessions
granted by the Colombian government
to the Panama Canal Company have
many years to run, and new concessions
cannot be granted the United States.

TWO CANAL BILLS.
introduced in the Senate to Give Effect to
Commissions Report.

Washington, Dec. 1.-Two bills look
ing to the construction of canal via the
Nicaragua route were introduced today
in the senate. The first of these was
presented by Senator Morgan and is as
follows:
"That the president OF the United
States be and is hereby authorized to
acquire from, and to conclude agree
ments with the states of Costa Rica and
Nicaragua, or either of them, for and in
behalf of the United States, for the full
control of such portion OF territory now
belonging to Costa Rica and Nicaragua,
as may be desirable ON which to excavate,
construct, govern, regulate, police and
protect a canal OF such depth and capa-
ments OF ships OF the greatest tonnage
Greytown, on the Caribbean sea, Via
Lake Nicaragua, to Breto on the Pacific
ocean; and such sum as may be neces-
sary to secure necessary rights. privi-
leges, and such control is hereby appro-
priated out OF any money in the treasury
otherwise unappropriated."
The other bill was introduced by Sem
ator Perkins and provides for perpetual
lease by the United States of the right
OF way across Nicaragua and Costa Rica,
and confers military police and sani-
tary control OF the canal route by the
United States. 1t makes an appropria-
ton of 1920, 900 900, of which sum Sl2,-
600, 900 is to be expended annually. A
nonpartisan commission is to be ap.
pointed by the president to have charge
Of the canal, the members of the COM
mission to be selected from different
parts OF the United States and to be paid
$4,000 salary each per year. The APP
pointment of engineers also is authorized.
1t is further provided that the canal
shall be of the dimensions recommended
by the isthmian canal commission.

COAST PROGRESS.
Sir Christopher Furness Predicts Great Things
for This Section.

New York, Dec. 2.-Sir Christopher
Furness OF Furness, Withy& Co., limited,
the well-known British shipping firm,
will leave for home ON the North German
Lloyd steamer kron Prinz Wilhelm,
which sails for Plymouth and Bremen on
Tuesday next.
Sir Christopher has travelled very ex-
tensively both on the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts, with a view, as he expressed it,,
of taking rest and studying the general
situation in the industrial world in this
country" incidentally he dropped the
remark that he had become interested
financially in a new ship yard which is
about to be established in this country.
He would, however, give no definite idea
either OF the location OF this shipyard or
the amount of capital to be invested by
himself and others,
Sir Christopher said in reply to ques-
tons:
81 came out in September and have
been all over the country. have found
things very different from what they
were during my last visit, which was in
1891, more particularly on the Pacific
coast. There is no doubt in my mind
that we must look to the Pacific coast
for the great developments in the United
States during the next few years and if
we, in England could get such benefits
when the African war is over as the
United States has secured through the
Spanish war, am quite sure there would
be no complaint whatever about the
money the war has cost. don't mean
to intimate any belief that other sections
of the United States will not progress
rapidly during the next few years, but
the progress will show much greater
ratio in the Pacific states than elsewhere.
$50 far as the industrial condition is
concerned, have seen in all directions
every evidence of great activity. Wher-
ever have gone have heard from fac
tories, and in fact all directions an cutlery
for cars to move goods. have spoken
to the railroad people and find they've
not the cars to furnish.

A SHORT ANSWER
Bulgaria Declines to Assume Responsibility in
Case of Miss Stones Death.

Vienna, Dec. 5.-The Bulgarian govern
ment's reply to United States Diplomatic
Agent Dickinson's note has been made
public by the Austro-Hungarian foreign
ministry, at Vienna. 1t was written by
Mr.. Daneff, Bulgara's minister Of
foreign affairs, and concludes with the
following words:
81 am surprised that you have come
to the conclusion that the United States
will hold Bulgaria responsible for Miss
stones death. l must regard it as GER
tain that the using of violence by the
brigands can only be attributable to
your protracted negotiations. 1t was
for you to carry the negotiations to
successful end.
"The Bulgarian government declines
all responsibility.
In Vienna this answer is considered
mostimpudent and the hope is expressed
that the United States will hold Bull
garia responsible for Miss Stones safety.
