SUPREME COURT
Declares Duties Cannot be
Collected on Philippine
Merchandise.

Washington. D. c., Nov. p
Chief Justice Fuller announced the
opinion of the supreme court in the
fourteen diamond rings case in
volving the constitutiopality of i'm
position of custom duties on mer-
ehandise from the Philippines after
the peace treaty with Spain. The
substance of the decision is that the
duty cannot be collected because at
the time the rings were brought into
American territory the Philippine
islands ceased to be foreign terri
tory and became domestic territory.
The resolutions adopted by congress
are not sufficient to change the sit
uation.
The supreme court also decide ]
the second of the Dooley cases in
volving the constitutio nalitv of the
law of April II for the collection of
duty on articles shipped from the
United States to Porto Rico, sus-
tanning the law.
Chief Justice Fuller and Justices
Harlan, Brewer aud Peckham united
in a dissenting opinion in the Dooley
case, holding that the duty was on
export in character and the fact that
1t was levied for the benefit of Porto
Rico did not change fits character.

ment received by Muncie at Rich
mond, but Captain Jessup and his
men only smiled and worked the
harder to win. Referee Redding
called a foul on Wolfe for interfer-
epce, and once threatened to eject
Jessup frcm the floor. Jessup struck
Smith with his stick, and was pre-
pairing torepeat the blow y when Smith
put out his good left fist and landed
squarely on Jessup's neck This
ended the incident. except that the

Police Conrt.

In police court this morning four
boys were arraigned for obstructing
the tracks and otherwise interfering
with the street railway They have
been putting stones in the switches
at the Glen to throw the cars of the
track. pulling wires down, and some
times thev have taken trucks to the
top OF the bill, put them on the track
and let them run down. Each of
these pranks would result in severe
accident If kept up. The bows are all
small. They were lectured by the
mayor and dismissed, but from the
expression of the faces OF the fathers
OF the boys, who were in court also,
it could be seen that there were
other troubles ahead that would come
up later on.

GROWING.
Expansion of Richmond, Es'
pecialIy in the Valley.
Improvements That
Can Only Be Seen
From Bridges.

Bv taking a look from Main street
bridge ny and down the Whitewater
valley one can appreciate the changes
| that have occurred in that locality
since the birdseye views OF the city
were taken, which were printed IN
! the PALLADIUM within the last few
days
One of them was a view made ia
1898, at which time there was not a
solit ary building in the entire river
valley except a mill wht r. the Car
peuter mills now are. The railroad
bridge and the old National bridge
were there. The present eighth
bonnJarv OF Z be- estx. arss rc stTrrss
We're laid eH beyond that, 1t is now
/ two squares west of the center of the
city. Only three church spires APP
pear in the whole town; the biggest
building il the city is the Friends
yearly meeting house, which is away
north of town, in the country The
depots are two small buildings look
irg about the ze and shape of freight
cars. standing one on each side oil
the track.
Another of this city in 1885
showed this same valley sixteen years
ago. 1t is in this picture a great
deal as it was in the other one. The
Doran bridge has been built and the
Starr piano works are in the valley.
but not the Starr piano works of to-
day by many thousands of dollars.
AS one stands on the magnificent
new Main street bridge, the wonder
full growth Richmond has had in the
past sixteen years is forcibly
shown. This portion of the city is
unrecognizable there. The river is
crossed by four bridges where before
were but two, and two of tLem are
models in bridge building, the Main
street bridge especially so; street
across. The valley is filled with inn
mense buildings which will all be re-
sounding with the whirl of wheels in
side of three months. There are the
Carpenter Rolling Mills, the new
electric light plant, the plant of the
Light, Heat i Power Co, the gas
works, all the structures of the c..
r. - NJ. railroad, the power station
of the 1pterurban company, the
Starr piano works. All of this
as it is now, has been put there
10 the past sixteen years. There has
been at least million dollars put in
just this valley alone ia this time.
And still, at that time the late James
NJ Starr wanted TO present this
whole valley to the city for park If
the city should agree to spend less
than 81 900 iu improvements there
and the city wouldn't take it. 1t is
such changes as these, which can be
found all over town. that show be-
yond the possibility of argument how
Richmond has grown.

partment to ne known as the depart
ment of commerce. On Thursday the
senate will adjourn until the following
Monday.
The general opinion among sena-
tors is that very little real work viii
be done before the Christmas holiday.
The first subject demanding attention
is reciprocity. Various treaties are
now pending in the senate looking to
commercial agreements between the
United States and other countries.
Senator Aldrich will renew his effort
to have these treaties. which already
have been reported from the commit
tee on foreign relations, committed to
the committee on finance on the
ground that they deal with tariff ques-
tions. The friends of the treaties will
oppose this demand. and the prelim-
mary skirmish expected to ensue prob
ably will serve to develop some inter
esting features.
The early days of the session will
be marked by the reorganization of
the senate committee so far as may
be necessary. and q caucus of the
Republican members was held today
for the purpose of considering this
question and appointing committee
The most important place to be filed
is that of chairman of the committee
on foreign relations. 1t is generally
conceded that Senator Cullom viii
succeed to the chairmanship.
