Opinion Expected From supreme
Court Next Week. j.
Washington, May %. There were
many lawyers at the supreme court
yesterday anticipating a decision in the
.insular cases, but these were not mem
toned. The court will hold its next
and final sitting for this term next
Monday, and the attorneys for the
government expect an opinion in these
cases. It is argued by attorneys that
any delay beyond the close Of this term
Of court will indicate an adverse opin-
ion. The government attorneys exsect
an opinion and believe that the court
will sustain. the constitutional power
Of congress to enact laws for the gov
eminent Of Porto Rico and the Philip
pines not in complete harmony with
the laws for the government Of terri
tories which are a part Of the United
States.

Reports About Mrs. Muir Have
Aroused Its Interest.
Stockholm society, which is almost q

exclusiveness, is coldly but still curious
" awaiting the arrival Of Mrs. Joseph
Muir, wife Of the new consul general
for the United States. at Stockholm, and
secretary Of the American legation. "A
correspondent Of the New York Journal
writes that the wives of the court offi-
Gals are much wrought up at the pros
pect Of viewing her.
They have heard that her mother dis
owned her, that she ran away to be
married, that she has been represented
in the public prints reclining on q
couch smoking, that she is h subject
Of a suit to ecove payment for photo
graphs and Of another to recover pay
ment for cigarettes.
Every picture Of her published IN one
Of the American papers has been re.
produced in Stockholm.
It shows her leaning back buried IN
pillows on q couch in what looks like a
room Of Oriental. %splendor, smoking an
extra-long cigarette. -
For that, It Is said, she has once again
been hailed to court. Not for the pose,
az was at first supposed, but for the
non-payment Of the photographers bill.
one moment we hear that Mr.. Muir is
a theatrical manager, the next a hyp-
notist. There is no reason why he
should not be both, but for which has
he received the reward Of a diplomatic
post?
Every one.in Stockholm is anxious to
know. "a .5 :
It was recently reported that he had
figured as q card sharp. This last Is
contradicted. It seems he got into
trouble because he wasn't. The story
at Stockholm is that he lost all his
money. and half his wife's to some pro,
f~essional gamblers on. the steamer that
brought him over to maintain in swe-
den the dignity Of the United States.

SCHOOL GARDENS IN SWEDEN.
what They Accomplish and Ho,

What They Accomplish and How
They Are Conducted.
From recent consular reports Of Axel
Georgil, vice general consul at Stock
holm, and Robert 8. 8. Bergh, consul
general at Gothenburg, to the state de-
partment at Washington, It is learned
that the largest nursery in Sweden 10
the so-called experiment ground near
Stockholm, belonging to the Royal
Academy Of Agriculture. There are
many others, however, in the southern
and central provinces; also, in the
northern part Of the kingdom, as far
north, indeed, as Lulea NEARLY sc de-
grees north latitude.) The methods
employed in propagating trees and
shrubbery are the same as in other
countries.
The process of development which
gardening in Sweden has undergone of
late years is to be attributed, in, a large
measure, to the encouraging example
ers, and to the interest taken in he
subject by the government, agricultural
societies and private associations.
Besides the two important botanical
gardens at Upsala and Lund, which are
more especially intended for academic
tuition, there. are the experiment
grounds Of the Royal Academy Of Ag-
r%iculture, where many park and fruit
trees and ornamental shrubs are raised.
The school for gardeners at the ex-
pertinent grounds Of the Royal Acade-
my Of Agriculture and the school of the
Swedish Horticultural society are the
chief educational institutions relating
to agriculture in the kingdom. In
struction in gardening is also impaired
at the Bergius gardens, near Stock
holm; at the agricultural high schools
at Ultima and Alnarp; and at the
schools of agriculture distributed over
the whole kingdom-all these institu-
tons being under the control Of the
Royal Academy Of Agriculture.
The firmest basis for this branch OF
culture lies, however, in its being made
a subject Of national education. Gar
dening is taught at the seminaries for
national school teachers and at the ma
tional schools in the kingdom. School
gardens have been established. The
different parishes must grant the neces-
sary ground for these gardens. which
contain the usual culinary herbs, q few
medical plants, al arboretum, etc. The
children are taught the best methods OF
gardening. and each year they receive
trees and shrubs to plant at their own
homes.
Thes agricultural societies employ So
called master gardeners of the prov
ince," who aid the public with advice
and information. Horticultural socie-
ties, to the number Of about twenty,
spread all over the kingdom, and are
active in promoting exhibits, printing
and distributing publications, impart-
in9 instruction and supplying plants
and seeds.
