If the Supreme Court discovers many
more as serious legal plumbers rerpetrated
by the Philippine government as that
brought to light by the suit Of Henry W.
Peabody of Boston and Manila, the treas
ury deficit will begin to assume alarming
propositions. The Court has just decided
in this case that ali the duties collected on
goods brought from the United States to
the Philippines, during the period OF mil
itary occupation, from April 18th, 1899,
to March 9Th, 1901, were illegal and must
be refunded to the importers. That means
that the United States will have to pay
back to the importers a sum estimated at
$4,000 This money formed the rev
enue Of the Philippines during that period
and was expended for administrative ex-
penses as fast as received and the United
States will n ow have to make good the
loss. The Government will apply to the
Court for a rehearing Of the case which
will postpone the day of payment but lit

reverse itself on the presentation of any
new evidence in possession Of the De
