FIRST CASE Of KIND
IN THE UNITED STATES
Taxation of CabIes---Justice Hatch Dssents.
Law Relating to Marriages---Four
Supreme Court Decisions.

( the national Jurisdiction out to the
/ three mile line In America the
| boundaries of counties have sometimes
been extended three miles out to sea
by statute
/ The following is from the opinion OF
/ the court:
IF we admit that the English law
as held in the Keyn case applies 20 the
space outside of low water mark IN
Hawaii with the exception We VIII
say. of the space within the outer
fringe of reefs, which practically IS
land-locked the conclusion does not
follow that property of a resident in
Hawaii is exempt from taxation which
lies within that space and outside of
the reef-line On the other hand. in
accordance with the minority opinion
in that case, as we'll as with the views
of many eminent publicists, the island
of Oahu would properly include for
purposes of territorial taxation its SUI =
rounding waters to the extent Of the
three mile limit.
The Importance of this question TO
the Territory is obvious, for # me
Territory has no Jurisdiction for TAX
ing purposes over this open sea- limit
of territorial offenses committed with
in that space, or for service therein Of
civil or criminal process. Whatever is
true of the outer portion of that init
would also be true of the inner por
ton as far as the low water mark. AS
suggested by appellants counsel, the
doctrine contended for by the Cable
Company would enable any resident
IL
ment of taxes on personal property by
placing it outside of low water mark
on the first day of January when liza
bic to assessment.
The Inference that Congress did not
intend that the tax laws of the Ter
ritory should apply to property in ter
ritorial waters and that the expression
within the Territory should mean
within its geographical limits would
lead to possible consequences of so
grave a nature that the inference
ought not to be made unless for
definite and satisfactory reasons. As
stated by Coleridge, c. J., in the Keyn
case: The argument alb incOnvenienti
is perhaps not one which sound logic
recognizes; and startling conclusion
does not always show that the prem
Uses from which it follows are unten-
able. But the inconvenience here is
so grave and the conclusion is SO
startling, as to make it reasonable,
I think, to say that the burden of
proof lies heavy upon those who ,lls-
regard the inconvenience and main

Washington, Jan. l8.-Is Russia pre-
pairing to end her war with Japan? That
is the question being asked in Wash
ington today as result Of reliable in
formation coming from men connected
with the steel trust and in the conf

from these gentlemen that the Russian

now at Seattle, will have part Of them
as her first cargo. It is said that the
first shipments Of rails has already left
the steel mill, and is en- route to the
Pacific coast.
Government officials who have been

this, ha,ye studied the maps showing the

Russian influence, in consequence of
which that government, while continu-
ing to operate it's lines there, will feel
impelled to construct the connecting
link referred to.
It is unlikely that contract for these
rails would be made by, Russia, MOI
would any American vessel owner agree
to transport them, if war were to CON

the war is about to be brought to a
close, and that the president Of the
United States may soon be requested by
the Russian government, in accordance
with "a. plan. which he has all along been

Russia After Another Port.
The commercial phase is only one
of the indications that the end Of the
Russian-J Japanese war may be at hand.
In diplomatic circles the same trend is
seen in the efforts started by Russia
to secure q new footing. in China. The
charge that China has violated neutrali-
ty laws, is looked on as a bald pre-:
text. The real purpose is to seize a
port. on the Chinese coast far enough
south to be free Of ice, to serve in place
Of Port Arthur and Dalny. With
Korea and the Manchurian peninsula
given up to Japan, it is taken for

that today OF tomorrow at the latest
will bring to conclusion the confer

Chairman Hepburn OF the house COM
mittee on Interstate and foreign COM
merce, regarding the bill which Col
onel Hepburn is drafting for the bet

This is. the alternative which is con-

country and those senators who oppose

Merger Plan Fulfilled.

These are identically the ends sought
when the Northern Securities company
was organized to take over the owner
ship of the stock of four of the six great
northwestern railroads.
That company has been decided to be
of illegal existence, and but for some
litigation which ties up the distribution
of the securities held by it, would have
been dissolved before this time.
Consummation of this new agreement
for a combination of interests will, it
is believed, lead to an early withdrawal
of the suits still pending, and permit the
winding up of the affairs Of the North
ern Securities company.
Just as soon as this is done the new
order of things will be instituted by a
reorganization Of the directorates of the
six lines concerned, so as to give all of
the interests that have been clashing
representation on the board of each
one Of the companies.
