liam J. Bryan tonight gave out an extend

court decision In the insular cases. Mr.
Bryan frankly admits that the courts vcr

the language he employs is more vigorous
than is customary with him lie boldly de

with the president and congress in an Of

and he calls on the people to repudiate

"By vote of I'VE to four the supreme

peror Of Porto Rico and, according 10 the
press dispatches, the emperor has gladly
and gratefully accepted the title conferred
upon him by the highest judicial tribunal

that the constitution had caught up with

tcrpret for their guidance the views hcld
by the court Of the policies which the ad-
mlnlstraton has pursued with respect to
the new insular possessions. Thus far the
president and his official advisers are sim
confused as to the exact meaning Of the
several opinions and decisions, and their
application to the situation In the Philip
pines. They have been unable TO deter
mine by inference the Important question
whether II is constitutional to collect du-
ties upon goods imported into the United
states from the Philippines, and to eSact
duties at Manila aud other ports OF entry
IN the archipelago upon goods arriving from
the United states.
Attorney General Knox and Secretary
Root, like most attorneys, Will have TO
devote considerable Tine 10 the supreme
courts decisions before compromising
