the 70 provinces have really good har-

mated as having produced insufficient

ATTORNEY JAMES D. DEWELL, JR.
Brings an Interesting Suit--Insular De-
 cisions Up Again.

| Brings an Interesting Suit-Insular De- | cisions Up Again.
 Suit was brought Saturday night
 against John N. Mix, collector of cus-
 toms at this port, by J. D. Dewell & Co.,,
 the wholesale grocers of State street, for $2,476.07 for duties paid by the plain tfffs to the defendant on cargoes of mo- | lasses and sugar that were brought from the island of Porto Rico after the ratification of the treaty of Paris on
 the eleventh day of April, 1899, and be- fore the passage of the ForalSer act
 The cargoes upon which the payment
 of duties is in dispute came into this
 port in May and July, 1899. Efforts have been made to recover back these duties from the government, but in spite of the circumstances and consti- tutional rights claimed by the plaintiffs the collector, 1t Is alleged, has refused to return the money paid in as duties upon those cargoes.
 The case Is one of deep interest to importers, particularly those who have engaged in the importing of products from our new possessions during the period described.
 HIS case IS very sllIlJdI lO bhc NdoS of De Lima vs. Bidwell, one of the fa- nous insular cases which divided the supreme court and upset all previous ideas that all territory annexed to the United States came under the constitu- tion, in deciding by vote of to that congress had right to impose tar if regulat tions upon the imports from new possessions. But in this case it was decided that all duties collected un6er protest after the ratification of the treaty of Paris, and before con gress passed the Foraker bill, were un- lawfully collected and must be return ed. The only difference between the case Attorney Dewell has brought and the De Lime. case is that the duties in his case were not paid under formal protest, but were paid under objection The case Is returnable to the superior court, but this case will probably fol- low the precedent of all the other cases brought for return of duties and be transferred to the United States cir cult court upon motion of the govern ment.
 The decision will be watched With in- l terest because 1t s said other cases will | follow if this one is successful
