 The case involves the right to construct a dam at Elephant Buttes in. New Mexico under the treaty with Mexico, prohibiting river calculated to prevent the navisa- ton Of the stream.

 Justice Shiras of the United States 5u- preme Court today delivered the opinion of the court in the case of Wilson vs. Standefever, affirming the decision oi the Court of Civil Appeals for the Third Judicial District of Texas.

NO WAR IN PHILIPPINES.
Funston Says Half of the Troops
 Could Be Brought Home.

New York. March 3.-Brigadier General Funston, who Is in this city en route to Washington, where he goes to learn if he ft5 to return to the Philippines when his furlough expires i, April had a talk with a Herald rerortei nd will be quoted to- morrow as saying: ..
 "rhere Is no more war in the Philip pines than there is in Kentucky. Assas- sins turk in the cane and shoot down men who are at their mercy. but there are no soldiers in the field to battle with tho United States troops. Even respecta- ble guerrilla warfare has ceased.
 There has been no fighting in any of the Philippine provinces for nearly six months. It has been said that have op- posed the reduction of our forces in the East. That is q mistake. In my opinion one-half of our troops might be brought home now and at the end of the year one- half of those remaining might be re- turned.
 At the same time, too much latitude should hot be given to the natives of the Philippines. They arc not ready for self government and they belong to that class of people who look upon kindness as a shcw uf weakness. If we gre to maintain peace In the islands we must deal fairly, hut somewhat stern.y with most of the natives for rood many years. They have been so long accustomed to the Spanish methods of treachery that it will be long before they will accept our prom ises as we. mean them. ...

GET MAD When Friends Tell the Truth.

Many people become coffee topers be- fore they realize 1t. and would be angry if thus described even by close friend.
 It will pay anyone to examine carefully into whether or not coffee has gained the maAtery over them. A coffee topper may suspect that his or her ails come from coffee drinking, but they will invariably charge the disease to some other cause, for right down in the heart they realize that it would be practically impossible to give up coffee, so they hope against hope that it does not hurt them, but 1t goes on with its work just the same and the re- suit Is complete collapse and nervous prostration, lasting sometimes for years, unless the poison that causes the disease is discontinued.
 There are hundreds of thousands of il- lustrations of the truth of this statement.
 Any person addicted to coffee can make the change from common coffee to Pos- tum Food Coffee without trouble pro- yided the Postum Is properly prepared so as to bring out the color. flavor and food value It has a rich black brown color and changes to the golden brown when good cream Is added.
 The change will work wonders in any one whose nervous system or stomach has been unbalanced or disturbed by eof- fee.

Washington, March 3.-In conference with members of Congress today, Presi- dent Roosevelt expressed his disapproval of the civil service provision of the bill creating a permanent Census Bureau, which has passed both Houses. and Is now before him.
