THE INSULAR What purports to
be the forecast OF
DECISION. the supreme courts
action in the insular
case, published in the Chicago Record
Herald this morning is regarded in ad-
ministration circles as entirely probable.
According to this Chicago source, the de-
cision will be handed down next Monday,
and will be favorable to the adm1ntstra-
tion. In the war department the belief is
general that the decision must come be-
fore the long summer vacation, which
would necessarily mean Monday next, and
that it will be favorable, they have not
the slightest doubt. 1t is 1nconceiyable,
they point out, that the court,
were its inclinations against the
administration, would keep the mat
ter pending longer than this, with
accommodating complications which such
delay would invite. The new Philippine
tariff, for example, is now in its final
stages. Industrial and customs experts
are going over to it to pass judgment
upon the complaints that have been made
by American exporters. Wherever thes6
seem we'll founded some slight changes
will be made in the draft compiled at Ma
Mia, but otherwise it will be adopted with
little variation. The president viii
probably allow enough time between its
promulgation and enforcement to provide
for goods which are en- route for the
islands. No decision has yet beer
reached by the secretary Of war as to
either of these dates, except that there is
no intention of having the new tariff GO
into force until the new civil govern
ment, which begins with the fiscal yeap
is well under way.

TRAMP coNFEssEs MURDER.
Kentucky Mystery Is Solved After
Three Years.


LEXINGTON, KY, Jan. 1O-Brooks
Munson, a tramp III the county poor
house, has made a confession which
clears up one of the saddest tragedies of
the state. 1t took place three years ago,
when the body of Mrs. Will Gregg was
found at the bottom of q we'll on the
Gregg place, | % miles from Sturgis.
Gregg, who was farmer, stated that
he had gone to the field to superintend
some work, but needing some tools had
returned to the house. Not finding his
wife, he inquired of the eldest child as
to her whereabouts, and was told that
she had gone to the well.
Still failing to see or hear her he be-
came alarmed and had the well searched.
She was found head downward at the
bottom, the flesh about the throat being
black, with bruises on the body. The
report was circulated that the young
wife had committed suicide because of
i'll treatment at the hands of her hus-
band. The young husband brooded
over these reports until his mind became
affected and he committed suicide by
taking corrosive sublimate.
Munson, when he found he was dying,
sent for a notary public and minister
and confessed his crime. He detailed
how he had appeared at the Gregg
house for breakfast and upon being re-
fused killed Mrs. Gregg and threw her
body in the we'll
