UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT.
tribunal Will Assemble Monday for
the Fall Term.

The United States Supreme Court will as
sempie Monday at II o'clock for the fall
term. AS usual on such occasions when
the President is in the city. the court will
adjourn and formally visit the White House
TO pay Its respects to the Chief executive.
This will be all the business transacted
that day. The court will proceed to reru-
lar business Tuesday. As Monday is the
usual day for handing down decisions 1t is
not expected there will be any decisions
on Tuesday. The time probably will be
occupied with motions for admissions to
the bar for the advancement of cases and
for writs of certiorari. Then such cases as
have been set for argument will be heard
Several important cases are to be argued
early in the term. The lottery cases. one
from Chicago and another from Cincinnati,
which involve the validity of the anti-Iot-
terry law, will be heard early Another inn
portant case to be taken up soon is known
as the Mixer" case the Carnegie Com
pany VS.. the Cambria Iron Company, in
rolVlng rights in patent process for MAX
ing steel.
When the court adjourned last spring
there were 21S cases which had been ar
gued, but not decided
Inc most important of these were two
lhsular cases, one being another Dooley
case from Porto Rico, which involved the
right of the United States to levy and coll
lect duties on goods. going from this coun-
Try INTO Porto Rico after the Foraker law
Went into effect. There is pending also the
fourteen diamond rings case, which is
the only one affecting the Philippines. This
cause arose upon the arrest of a soldier
VINO brought fourteen diamond rings from
the philippines into the United States with
out paying duty. No law having been
passed relative to tariff rates to and from
the philippines, the government has as
serted its right to levy and collect taxes
on all articles coming from the Philip
pines, charging the full Dingley rates. The
opposing counsel argued that as the
philippines became United States terrific
rles. there could be no customs duties in
goods from the islands. 1t will be remem-
pered that In the Downes cases the court
heid that until the Foraker law was passed
goods from Porto Rico were entitled to free
admission, and some believe that this opin-
lon Is really a forerunner Of the decision
IN the diamond rings case, although MANY
lawyers hold that the continued military
control in the Philippines may have some
effect In determining the issue At all
events, the opinions IN both of these cases
are awaited with interest.

DEPARTMENT OF DAKOTA.
Suggestions in the Report of MajO
General Otis.

Suggestions In the Report of Major
General Otis.
Major General Otis makes two reports
this year, having divided his time between
two different departments. AS commander
of the Department of Dakota, he. alludes
to the considerable reduction in the
strength Of his command which was drawn
upon from other quarters. One of the most
interesting points in the report is a sug-
gestion made by Major Philip Reade, 4th
Infantry, the inspector general Of the de-
partment to the effect that chaplains be
placed in charge of the post exchanges
and that the canteen should be re-estab-
lished in the interests of morals, temper
ance, discipline and health. Another sug-
gestion is that a chiropodist be employed
for each foot regiment. He also suggests
a renewal of the practice of inscribing on
regimental colors the battles in which the
regiments have participated meritoriously.
Based on tropical experience, the sugges-
ton is made that every soldier carry a
hand ak with leather sheath. and that in
sigma be placed on the blue flannel shirts
Of officers, who often discard their coats.

Pleased With Her Performance.

General Chaffee has notified the War De-

at Manila yesterday, fifty days from New

British Government Grants Right I
the Lfberfans.

LONDON, October 12.-The Associated
Press learns that the Liberian officials who
arrived In England early in August with
the object of obtaining from Great Britain
the right to navigate the Mamma river have
been successful. despite the fact that Great
Britain was unwilling at first to grant the
request Of the republic.
In addition to this the ENJOYS discussed
with the colonial Office further and more
important propositions. These were put in
the form of a memorandum which is now
being submitted to the Liberiau govern
ment. If, as is thought most probable. this
memorandum Is ratified, Liberals interna-
