rORTO RICO AND HAWAII.
Two Insuiar Cases Argued by Senator
Lindsay and w. Mickham Smith.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE United
States Supreme Court to-day resumed its
hearings in the case of Charles Huues
VS.. the New York and Porto Rico Steam
ship Company. and Senator Lindsay con-
tinued his argument, begun by him on Fri
day. The action involves the questions Of
pilotage, the owner of the steamship claim
ing exemption on the ground that .orto
Rican ports have ceased to be foreign
Senator Lindsay quoted from decisions
OF the court to establish his contention
that the term foreign port" could be used
In its broadest sense and that In early acts
the trade between the Atlantic and Paciflc
coasts was so considered as between FOR
eign ports. Also that the treasury depart
ment did consider a port foreign unless
the clearance of the vessel coming to this
country was given by an officer in a Gus
TOMAS collection district established by Con-
gress and exercising his function under
the laws of the United States. San JUAN,
he argued, was never made a domestic port
of the United States and must be consid-
cred a foreign port until Congress includes
IL in one of the collection districts of the
United States. Following this line he ar
gued that vessels trading between New
York and Porto Rican ports were not in the
coasting trade.
1t was further argued that Congress did
not intend to make the trade coasting
trade, for trade was discussed as between
Porto hico and the United States, which
would not have been the case had it been
considered that Porto Rican ports were
domestic ports. None of the provisions Of
the act to govern Porto Rico, Mr.. Lindsay
urged, controlled or mentioned pilotage and
could be interpreted as affecting the point
at issue.
When Senator Lindsay concluded. the
case of George w. Crossman ct al, appel
lants, VS.. The United States was called.
This case is one covering the entry of
goods from Hawaii, consisting of whisky.
brandy and jam, at the custom house at
New York, April &c, 1900, and is the only
Hawaiian case in the list. Duty was as
sessed under the provisions of the Dingley
law. The importers protested against col
lection of duty on the ground that the Ha-
waiian Islands were a part of the United
States, that the provision of the annexation
resolution which continued the customs
laws of the Republic of hawaii until Con-
gress should iegislate was unconstitutional.
Appeal was taken TO the Board of General
Appraisers. to the United States Circuit
Court and to the Supreme Court. Mr.. w.
Wickham Smith presented the case for the
appellants.

was occupied for lewd or obscene purposes,
and ask you TO authorize IN writing the

HAY At HIS DESK AGAIN
SECRETARY OF STATE DISCUSSES
CHEESE AFFAIRS WITH WI.
All the Powers i'm Favor of EXPEDITE
ing Negotiations at Peking-Brit-
ain Not nm Objector.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14-Secretary Hay
was at the state department to-day for the
first time in a week. and although able to
severe cold he has had for some time. Min
lister WI called early and there was a con-
ference lasting a half hour on the Chinese
situation. The department has now re-
ceived responses from all the powers rela-
tive TO the dispatch recently forwarded
through our diplomatic representatives
abroad, urgently requesting that negotia-
tons be expedited as fast as possible. All Of
the powers concur in this view, and express
earnest desire to reach a final settlement.
1t Is rather al unaccountable fact, how
referred to delays caused by the United
States, whereas the efforts of this govern
ment throughout have been to hurry mat
ters along 1t was for this reason that the
recent proposition was made to remove the
two points of indemnity and treaties to
Washington, or some other capital, al
though some of the powers seem TO nave
the erroneous impression that this delayed
proceedings The state department adheres
to its purpose not to make known the
powers which favored or opposed the re-
cent proposition. But in view or reports to
the effect that Great Britain was most
strenuous in opposition. 1t can be stated
that the British government was one of
those which received the suggestion most
favorably.
The prospect that Ii Hung Chang may
have to retire from the peace commission
because of his infirmities has led to some
canvass among officials as TO those avail
able to take his place. Among the In
formally mentioned are Sheng, the Imperial
director of posts, and Liah Kun Ye, viceroy
of Nankin. Both of these officials are
spoken of in the highest terms by Consul
General Goodnow, our representative at
Shanghai during the crisis. Mr.. Goodnow
has said to the State Department officials
teIlectual ability and of progressive spirit.
Up to the close of the official day. Mr..
Conger had not advised the department
of the final signing of the peace protocol.
When this is ~concleded, it is understood
that the foreign ministers and the Chinese
ENJOYS hereafter will meet together and
carry forward the execution of the terms
of the protocol, probably embodying the
final result in a comprehensive treaty or
peace on the lines of the present protocol.
