upAoLDs ADMINISTRATION.
Solicitor General Richards interpreta'
tion of the Decisions.

Washington, May 2S.-Solicitor Gen
eral Richards of the department Of
Justice, who had charge of the insular
cases before the supreme court, made
the following statement containing
his Interpretation of the decisions of
the court:
"The important question involved in
these cases was whether the cegsion
of territory contained in the treaty OF
Paris made Porto Rico and the Philip
pines integral part Of the United
States within the meaning of that pro
vision of the constitution requiring
all duties. imposts and eycises to be
uniform throughout the United States.'
The court held that the cession simply
made Porto Rico and the Philippines
domestic territory of the United States.
subject to the full control of congress.
which control could be exercised with
out reference to those limitations.
This limitation, the court held, vas
intended TO apply to the states Of the
union and does not apply to acquired
territory unless by treaty and by sub
seqcent act of congress 1t is ircorpo-
rated within and becomes an integral
part of the United States. The de-
cisions are consequently a victory for
the government. They sustain to the
fullest extent the so-called insular
policy OF the administration. The gov
ernment now has the sanction of the
supreme court for governing these
islands as their needs require. The
court holds that the constitution did
not of its own force at once apply to
those ceGed territo:0s."

OPPOSE RAISING CUSTOMS.
United States VIII Stand Out Against
Revenue Propoaal.

Peking, May est seems probable
that Great Britain's position limiting
the indemnity to be demanded from
China to 450,OOOOOO taels will be
agreed to by the end Of the week.
United States Special Commissioner
Rockhill thinks this may be considered
an American victory. Though his
proposition limiting indemnity to
310,000,000 taels was not accepted,
still it was the cause Of the other
powers considering the idea. The
only point likely to cause further delay
in a decision by all the powers except
America is that regarding the raising
of the foreign customs per cent.
Mr.. Rocllhill told the ministers at a
recent meeting that rather than take
this step America would relinquish- all
claims to indemnity and even make
q money present to China, as American
commercial interests would suffer far
more thereby than those of any other
power, with possibly one exception.

Supreme Court Decision on Islands
Suits the Administration.

Omaha, May 2S.-The presidential
train arrived here this morning. Mrs.
Mckinley is standing the trip very
well and seems rejoiced that every
hour brings her nearer home.
At Sidney. Neb.. the president and
the cabinet received the official infor-
nation that the supreme court had
decided the insular cases in accord
ance with the contentious of the gov
ernment. The news came in the shape
Of telegram from Solicitor General
John X. Richards. 1t was brief, how
ever, and contained no details beyond
the bare announcement that the admin
lstration had been sustained. Natural
iy the president and cabinet officers
were elated over the victory. although
they have never doubted that the de-
cision would be in favor of the govern
meut.

diamond 10 Line Steamer Strikes
Rock North of Burlington.
Burlington, May 2S.-The Diamond
Jo packet Dubuque, southbound, struck
rock IS miles north of here last
evening and sank in five feet of water
There were 80 passengers on board
All escaped injury.
News of the wreck was received by
telephone from Oquawka, eight miles
below the scene of the accident, and
at present there is no other source of
news. While the boat sank in less
than a minute it is stated that no
person was drowned or injured, though
there were so passengers on board A
large quantity of flour carried on deck
as freight slid off into the water when
the vessel listed to one side. The
vessel now rests on slanting bottom.
The rock tore an 1S foot plank from
the vessels bottom, letting the water
in with rush. The Dubuque was
en- route from st. Paul to st. Louis.
The steamer w. j. Young of Daven-
port. en- route down, will probably
take off the passengers and bring
them to Burlington. The Dubuque is
one of the finest Diamond Jo line
packets running between st. Louis and

slight injuries. Twenty-one were
killed and nine terribly punred, most

plosion caused great masses OF coal
and slate to cave in from the roof OF
the mine and many of the Inflated
miners were completely buried.
Word quickly reached Dayton and
rescue forces were at cree organized
and proceeded to the mine. One by
one the blackeaed and horribly dis
figured bodies were taken from the de-
5ris and carried to the mouth OF the
mine, where they were put on a loco
