mas A BROADER MEANING.

Certain Of Chief Justice MarshalTs OBJ

some embarrassment in other cases-that

posts, and excuses, may be exercised, and
must be exercised throughout the United
States The decision in Geofroy vs..
Riggs mgy be considered as establishing
the principle that. in dealing with for
eign sovereignties, the term United
States has a broader meaning than when
used in the Constitution, and includes all
Territories subject TO the jurisdiction Of
the Federal Government, wherever 10
Gated In its treaties and conventions with
foreign nations this Government is q unit.
This is so not because the Territories
comprised part of the government estab-
lished by the people Of the States in their
Constitution, but because the Federal
Government is the only authorized organ
in their foreign relations. BY Article l.
section 10, Of the Constitution, no State
shall enter into any treaty. alliance or
confederation, or enter into any
agreement or compact with another State
or with a foreign Power" 1t would be
absurd to hold that the Territories, which
are much less independent than the States
and are under the direct control and tute-
lage Of the General Government possess
a power IN this particular which Is thus

MERELY UNDER JURISDICTION.

Unless these words are to be rejected
as meaningless" said Mr. Justice Brown,
we must treat them as u recognition by
Congress of the fact that there may be
territories subject to the jurisdiction of
the United States, which are not of the
United States. In determining the mean
ing of the words of Article l. section 6,
uniform throughout the United States,
we are bound to consider not only the
provisions forbidding preference being
given to the ports of one State over those
OF another Ito which attention has al
ready been called, but the other clauses
declaring that no tax or duty shall be
laid on articles exported from any State,
and that no State shall, without the con-
sent of Congress, lay any imposts or du-
ties upon imports or exports, nor any
duty on tonnage. The object of all Of
these was to protect the States which
united in forming the Constitution from
Determinations by Congress. which would
operate unfairly or injuriously upon some
States and not equally upon others. The

GREAT SCOPE NECESSARY.

Large powers must necessarily be en-
trusted to Congress in dealing with these
problems, and we are bound to assume
that they viii be judiciously exercised
That these powers may be abused is pos
sible. Bat the same may be said of its
powers under the Constitution as well as
outside Of it,. Human wisdom has never
devised a form Of government so perfect
that it may not be perverted to bad pur-
poses. IT is never conclusive to argue
against the possession of certain powers
from possible abuses of them. 1t is safe
to say that II Congress should venture
upon legislation manifestly dictated by
selfish interests. it would receive quick
rebuke at the hands Of the people In
deed, il is scarcely possible that Con-
gress could do a greater Injustice to these
islands than would be involved in holding
that ii could not impose upOn the states
same taxes to them. Such requirement
would bring them at once within our in
ternal revenue system, including stamps,
licenses, eXClSeS, ana all the parapher-
MALTA of that system, and applying IL to
territories which have had no experiences
of this kind, and where IL would prove an
intolerable burden.
This subject was carefully considered
by the Senate committee in charge of the
Foraker bill which found after an exam
ination of the facts, that property In Por-
to Rico was already burdened with a prf-
vate debt amounting probably to $50. 600
600; that no system of property taxation
was or ever had been in force in the ISL
and, and that II probably would require
two years to inaugurate one and secure
returns from it, that the revenues had al
ways been chiefly raised by duties on i'm
ports and exports, and that our internal
revenue laws, if applied in that island
would prove oppressive and ruinous to
many people and interests; that to under
take to collect our heavy internal revenue
tax, far heavier than Spain ever imposed
upon their products aEd pocations, would
be to invite violations OF the law so in

THE ANGLO-R O-RUSSIAN DISPUTE

 FAIR LIKELY.

Withdrawal of Troops of Both Nations from Disputed Ground Expected
 French Troops Quieter After Many Arrests.
 London, March 1S.-On the highest of- , f1cial authority the Associated Press in authorized to announce that the diffi- culty at Tien Tsin between the Rus sians and British over the construction
 of railroad siding in territory claimed by both, will probably be solved by the withdrawal of both the British and Russian troops from the ground in dis pute.
 There is a disposition here to think that too much has been made of the Anglo-Russian incident at Tien Tsin The Pekin dipatch to the London Times is taken to mean that the combined ef- forts of the interested powers have had the effect of causing St. Petersburg to check any tendency to undue aggres- siveness on the part of the Russian rep- resentatives in China.
 Tien Tsin, March 1S-The French troops, who were prohibited from enter ing the British concession, owing to their persistent rowdyism, are quieter. More than forty arrests have been made.
