and with q definite purpose. The lofty
outer walls Of granite have 4 softness

There arc not many windows. and
those which exist are not intrusive.
The general form is that of an OBJ
long without wings or balconies or
stoop save the columned entrance on

tinguishng mark of the exterior. and
one that attracts instant attention. is
u series OF desicns-the seals of the
various universitieS-Cut into the gran

and side just above the second tier Of
windows These seals are after de
signs made by u. G. French. and rep

board of the navy have requested Sec
rotary Long to appoint Admiral Brad
ford. chief Of the naval bureau Of
equipment. as an additional member of
that board and the secretary has is
sued an order Of reappointment This
results from the careful attention
which the Dewey board is at present
giving to the establishment of foreign
coalng stations for our navy.
Admiral Bradford has made a special
study of this branch of work and has
gathered much material showing the
foreign points most desirable for coal
ing stations. Some of these are at
points in the West Indies and along
the South American coast; others in
the outlying islands Of the Atlantic
and Pacific. and Considerable informa-
ton has been gathered as to points
on the coast of China.

DECISION OF SUPREME COURT.
% 10 n Complete ssrssdIe from tie
View ~ the Ordinary
Lsymaa.

To . layman the decision OF the
supreme court in the Porto Rican
eases is rather wobbly and presents
some rather curious anomalies. The
constitution does follow the flag, and
then again it does not stay with IN.
The island Is territory of the United
States, and yet the people there have
no free trade with the country to
which they belong. Then again they
decide that vessels trading with the
island are in the coastwise trade of
the United States. and yet when they
ship any goods by these coastwise
vessels they cannot land them in any
OF our ports without paying a tariff
duty on the same. Yet the goods they
shipped here prior 10 the passage of
the Foraker act should not have paid
those who paid it.
There is only one clear matter
about the decisions-that congress
has the sole right TO legislaie as il
pleases for these territories. Other
wise, If President Mckinley had HIM
self written the decisions they could
not have been a more complete strad-
die. from the view of an ordinary Law
man. No doubt the lawyers will un-
derstand the exact status in time.
That the court itself was not very

court If n test ease should BE- brought

Some consideration was given to
the question whether the president
had the power under the Spooner
act TO impose a duty in this country
upon articles imported from the Phil
ippines. The general opinion was
hat grave doubt existed as to wheth-
er he possessed the power. and it
seemed TO be accepted that the ex-
port duty plan offered the most FEAST

speedy action was emphasized. in
view Of the fact that il the matter
is left unsettled until congress meets

large imporiations from the Philip

In addition to this. il was realized

then have them forwarded TO the
