GERMANS DISCUSS TARIFF.
Count Won Buelow Introduces Meas

Count Won Buelow Introduces Meas
ure in the Reichstag.
Berlin, Dec. 3.-Count Won Buelow,
the imperial chancellor, in introducing
the greatest parliamentary struggle
that Germany has ever faced, coun-
seled the members of the reichstag to
moderation of language, declaring
that the eyes Of the world were upon
them. Although this was Germany's
affair, said Count Won Buelow, it was
necessary to maintain q resolute front
to the other nations of the world.
This bill Is the most important
which has been before the house for
long time, but it does not imply any
deviation from the policy in regard
to treaties of commerce. said the
imperial chancellor.
Allusion was made to the United
States in the course Of the debate on
the subject and the name America"
Is likely to yet be more freely used
by both sides of this controversy,
which is moving Germany more deep
ly than has any other civil question
since the emergence of the empire

ALARM OVER THE COINAGE.
Financial Situation in the Philippines
Causes Uneasiness.

Manila, Dec. 2.-The military de-
partments of northern and southern
Luzon have ceased to exist. Major
command Of the southern department,
will leave Manila today to assume
command of the American forces on
Cebu island and Major General Lloyd
Wheaton. formerly commander of the
northern department, will take COM
mand of the North Philippines.
Several small engagements have oc-
CURED in Batangas province in the
last few days. The forces of the In
surgent leader Caballos have been
badly demoralized. His followers are
broken into several small bands.
Caballos holds two American pris-
oners.
The financial situation in the Philip
pine islands is causing considerable
alarm. In an interview published in
Manila Henry G. Ide, chief of the de-
partment of finance and justice, re-
ferred to the probable enforcement of
an alteration in the immediate fut-
ure of the present government parity
of two Mexican dollars for one gold
dollar.
The United States postoffice here
now refuses. except to government
employees, to issue money orders in
exchange for Mexican silver. The
banks of Manila have been making
from to per cent on exchange.
Merchants and others are forced to
carry their accounts in Mexican sill
yer. The commercial community had
relied upon the United States Philip
pine commission to continue the sys-
tenn 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.
Mr.. Patterson. the Englishman act
ing as secretary to Sixto Lopez. Aguin-
aldo's general. who refused to take
the oath of allegiance to the United
States when he landed at Manila, is
awaiting deportation from the islands
as the result of this refusal.

overcoat worn by Wilson checked the

of his shoulder. No cause is known

FIX ISLAND RIGHTS
SUPREME COURTS DECISION is
AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT.
Court Holds Islands Ceased to Be For
+ eisn Territory After Treaty Of Paris
Was siened-Government Sustained
In Second DooIey Case.

IN S0COnO 0OOIcy SdSSs
Washington, Dec. 3.-The United
States supreme court yesterday rem
dered decision in the case of Emil
~. Pepke against the United States.
This is the case known as the -Four
teen Diamond Rings Case" and in
yolved the constitutionality of the
imposition Of customs duty upon mer-
'chandise brought into the United
States from the Philippine islands
after the exchange of the peace treaty
with Spain. The opinion was handed
down by Chief Justice Fuller.
The opinion was adverse to the
claims of the government, on the
ground that the Philippine islands
were at the time the rings We're
brought in American territory; ceas-
ing to become foreign territory, they
became domestic territory, he said.
The decision in the De Lima Porto
Rican cases was cited at length, and
it was held that the resolution adopted
by congress concerning the Philip
pines was not sufficient to change the
situation. The chief justice con-
cluded his opinion by reversing the
decision of the court below.
The supreme court also decided the
second of the Dooley cases, involving
the constitutionality of the law Of
April IL, providing for the collection
Of duty on articles shipped from the
United States into Porto Rico. De-
cision was rendered by Justice Brown.
The government is sustained in the
second Dooley case. It was held that
the duty collected on goods carried
from New York to Porto Rico was
permissible, but that it was in reality
a tax for the benefit of the Porto
Ricans themselves rather than am ex-
port duty, as was claimed by the mer-
chants who antagonized the govern
ment in the case.
In both cases there were dissenting
opinions concurred in by four of the
nine justices of the court.
1t is generally believed that the de
cision in the Philippine case will lead
to early efforts to secure Legislation
for the regulation Of our commercial
4 1relations with those islands.
AS the Porto Rican opinion sustains
the constitutionality Of the Foraker
4 act. no such necessity will arise with
4 reference to Porto Rico.
/ Secretary Root declined to express
an opinion as to the effect of the in
sular decisions in the supreme court
until he has had an opportunity te
read them in full. Figures obtained
at the war department and treasury
bureau of statistics relative to the
trade affected show that from the be
ginning of United States occupanc!
of the Philippines, Aug. %, 1898, vi
to June 80 last, the total imports IL
the Philippines from the United
States were valued at s1,607. .436, Will,
during the same period the imports
from Spain were valued at s1.993.99
On the other hand, the imports int
the United States from the Philip
pines from Sept. 1, 1898 to Dec. 1
1901, aggregate s15,44s.6O But o
this large total only s1,S94,523 con
sisted of dutiable goods, so that tn
refund on these would not be large.
