Sugar and Tobacco.
May Be Admitted Free.
So Says New York Lawyer.

A lawyer who is very familiar with the
De Lima case, when asked what Judge
Browns decision meant, said: Judge
Brown apparently has decided that Porto
Rico is not forcing territory, although from
the digest of the opinion so far received ii
is difficult to say exactly what its effect is
Seemingly there is no question, however,
that the Supreme Court has ruled that
Porto Rico is domestic territory and that
special tariff and import legislation is un
constitutional. If this hypothesis is correct,
then appar,n ntly it involyes not only the
validity of special tariff legislation in Porto
Rice, tut also all the legislation in respect

"Ihe effect of this Will lie to upset ia
iiffS generally as far as these possessions
aud the United S ates are concerped, and
and to render very difficult iu certain cases
the deviSing Of tariffs which shall be equit-
able both for the states and for the inSular
possessions. | do not believe that the trade
between the states and the islands in most
commodities is large enough to cause any
great business embarrassment except in
the cases of sIac fc firms dealing with
special products. 1t will, however, have a
serious ttIect on those dealing in sugar and
tobacco which are raised largely in the
slanGs and in this country. These products,
f my estimate based on the fragmentary
opinion te correct, will have to be admit
ted free of duty just as they would if they
came from Alaska or other territories s, for :

government. The sugar question becomes
one of particular importance in vie,o of the

A COMMITTEE of the interior depart

 ment officials this week will examine and report on fourteen-mile stretch of the Santa Fe railroad on the Ari- zona and California border line. The portion to be examined is in both Ari- zona and California, and is technically described as west of the 550th-mie post west of Isleta Junction, N. M. This is a heretofore patented part of the line built by the Atlantic and Pa cific railroad, and the trip is to deter- mine whether the road has complied with the terms of the act granting right of way before the patent for the grant of land can be issued by the government.

spending the peoples money we have had for years and at time when ecOn- omy was demanded. The legislature has made it impossible to reduce taxa tion in the several counties. and what makes it worse from Il political stand- point is that the legislature was demo- cratic. We have the democratic party and it's time honored principles, but we do not approve of democrats vast ing money, which has been done by the Twenty-irst legislature.-SolomOn vile Bulletin,

 The legislature has adjourned and the people of Arizona now feel safe. , The session was one devoted to the re- lief of everything and everybody with the exception of the people who have to pay the taxes. Relief bills without number were passed and attempts were made to exempt from taxation plants and railroads fully able to pay taxes on all property. The overbur- dened taxpayer was not exempted from his usual burden, but with the Ari- zona legislature the common tax payer was in no sense an object to be con sidered. We will give a review of the acts just as soon as it is possible to ob- tain a full abstract of the measures passed. .-MOhave Miner.
 Thursday, the Fist, ended the Twen- ty-tirst legislative assembly. At this writing it is impossible to state what good was accomplished or evil averted by our solons. We must wait till the fruits of their labOrs have been made public before we can discuss them. We can say, however, that Pinal county's members were faithful to their trust and kept every pledge made to their constituents. Nothing more could have been asked or expected of them. In the matter of ability and industry they ranked with the best material in the legislature.

 The time allotted by law for the ses- sion of our legislature having expired, the Twenty-first legislature adjourned the Fist. Not all the work before it was completed, but that was not the fault of the members. The Twenty first legislature will go down on the pages of history as a competent, in- dustrious body of men, who did much for the territory that was good, and very little that exception could be taken to. The members can return to their homes we'll satisfied with their work and feeling of satisfaction that their constituents can do no better two years hence. Every industry was

ed Conrys wounds in the Gilsey House,
where he is staying.
Mr. Conry described his assailant, ac-
cordiHg TO the police report. as about five
feet eight inches tall, thirty years old,
$50 pounds in weight. clean shaver, and
of fair complexion Norton and Bowen
are Boston aldermen. Mr.. Conry is the

how the affair happened, said:
"A great many wallpaper men come to
town on business about this time of year
and the Gilsey is a favOrite stopping
place for them. 1t is in that way that

them were standing outside of the hotel
early this morning discussing business.
The three Boston men, and u fourth man,
whom | only know as Jim came along
singing. with their coats over their arms.
and jostled into the group. Thinking,
evidently, that the wallpaper men did
not get out of their way fast enough.
they stopped and became abusive. The
wallpaper men resented this, and a row
followed Francis was in restaurant
near by and saw this, and ran out to
help his friends He had no sooner join
ed them than the man called Jim drew
a pocket knife and stabbed him over the
left breast. Francis fell on his face. Jim
jumped on him and stabbed him again
in the back. MIR. Conry received his
wounds in trying to haul Jim from Mr.
Francis"
The noise brought Detective Mayo, of
the Gilsey House, and a policeman, and |
the fight quickly subsidized.

that the food was poor, and the work

same rooms. Some were occupied in the
sewing room. They all declared that they
are being i'll treated by the keepers.
Superintendent Stoutenburgh denied that
any of tho keepers used bad language to
the women. You can say this for me,
said the superintendent. that If any. of
the keepers do use bad language, they
do ii without my knowledge"
DR.. Manning secuted the idea that
woman was confined in the dungeon with
a broken arm. He was asked repeatedly
whether or not it would be possible for
a case of this kind to be kept from the
knowledge of the physician, but he avoid
ed the direct question by saying that he
made a sick call to the institution in
question every morning. He admitted
that he had not seen the woman who
is alleged to be suffering with a broken
arm yesterday.
The officials point out that with so
many unruiy women confined in the work
house il is necessary that extreme meas
ures be used sometimes.

signed to these firms, and that they were
daily expected to arrive. l told them that
it was of the highest Importance that
they give me the names of the firms they
had charged with fraud in connection
with these importations, and asked them
to put their statement in writing. 1 as

THE CRUISER COLUMBIA.
She Will Doubtless Be Converted
Into n Training Ship.

The Navy Department continues TO
make a mystery of the report or the
cruiser Columbia. and whether or not the
alterations necessary to make her re-
ceiving ship Will be made. 1t is declared
al the Bureau of Navigation that no mat
ter what the report of the board appoint
ed by Rear Admiral Barker says, the Co.
iumbia will receive the sailors from the
Vermont and will be used as d receiving
ship temporarily. on the other hand,
Acting Secretary Hackett said yesterday
Afternoon that he had not acted on the
report of the board and it is also learn
ed that the extensive alterations have not
been authorized, but that another board
has been asked to inspect the .essel and
report TO the department.
This is the regular inspection board
headed by Rear Admiral Evans and its
report is believed to have already reach
ed the department, but has not yet been
submitted to the Acting Secretary. The
department has telegraphed the officials
at the New York Navy Yard, directing
that the ordinary repairs on the Column
bia be made, and that the question Of al
terations viii be decided later. Mean
while il is almost certain that the Yer
mont will be abandoned by the Navy De
partment and probably sold at auction
as soon as she can be vacated.
