WASHINGTON, May JS. In the
T nil cm 1 States supremo court yesterday
opimmiN were handed down in all but
two of the onsen licfi.ro that court in
volving the relation of the I'nitcd Stales
to its insular possessions. Tin- two oases
in which no conclusion wns nniimiiooil
were those known as the 14 ili.-i iiioikI
rinirs case and the second of the Donley
eases. Tlii' undecided Donley case deals
with n ihnsc of thi' l'orto Kicun qucs
tion, and the dianionil riuii eo Involve
the riiiht to tin- free importation of nior
oluindWc from the Philippines to the
I'liiteil States. Tlie oriifinal intention of
the court liad lee to ailjotiru for tho
term after yesterday's sitlinir, lint dis
cussion of the case passed on took about
live hours, so the court adjourned until
today, when it iB presumed the rcuiuiu
init rases will lie passed on.
Of the several cases decided yesterday
the two which attracted the trroutost
share of attention from the court were
what is known as the lie Lima case and
that known as the Ilownes case, and of
these two the opinion ill the Downcs case
Is considered the most farrcnohitiK. ns it
affects our future relations, whereas the
Do Limn case dealt with a transitional
phase of our insular relations. The lie
Lima case was the first to receive the nt
. tention of the court, and as it appeared
to he quite sweepiiiKly opposed to the
governtnent'8 contentions many persons
precipitately arrived at the conclusion
that the government had been worsted nil
ttloiii: the line. This view suffered n de
cided change when the conclusion was an
nounced in the liownos case. The court
wns very evenly divided on both cases,
lint political lines were nut at nil con
trolling. The Dp Lima case involved the power
of the government to collect a duty on
goods imported into the United States
from l'orto Kico after the ratification of
the trenty of Paris ami before the paa
iage of the l'orto Kican act. The court
Raid the government's contention in this
rase was substantially a claim that l'orto
Itico is foreign territory. The entire cane
turned upon that contention. The court
held that the position wns not well taken,
that l'orto Kico was not nt the time for
eign territory and that therefore the duty
which had been collected must be re
turned. The decision in the Downes case fol
lowed the history of the dealings of the
United States with l'orto Kico n step
further. That case dealt with the le
gality of the exaction of duties on goods
imported from l'orto Kico into New York
after the passage of the Koraker act pro
viding for n duty upon goods shipped
from the United States into l'orto Kico
and also on those shipped from l'orto
Kico to the United States. In this case
the court held that guch exaction wns
legal nud constitutional.
The point of the two opinions consid
ered collectively is that l'orto Kico was
never after the acquisition of that island
foreign territory; that until congress act
ed upon the question no duty could be
collected, but that ns soon as congress
outlined a method of controlling the Is
land's revenues that action became bind
ing In other words, that congress has
power under the constitution to prescribe
the maimer of collecting the revenues of
the country's Insular possessions and has
the right to lay a duty on goods imported
into our insular possesuiun from tho Unit
ed States or exported from them into
the United States. It holds, in brief, that
for taxation purposes they nre not a
part of the United States to the extent
that goods shipped between their ports
uud the United t tutus are entitled to the
snme treatment ns though they were
shipped between New York and New
Orleans.
Justice Brown delivered the court's
opinion in both, and there were vigorous
dissenting opinions in both. In tho
Downes case four of the nine members of
the court united In an opinion, charac
terizing in strung language the opinion
of the majority in that case. In this
opposing opinion thv chief justice and
Justices Harlan, Brewer ami I'eckham
united, and the chief justice aud Justice
Ilarlnu presented their views in writing.
Justices Oray, Shirns, AVliito and .Me
Keiiim also, while agreeing witli the con
clusion announced by Justice Brown, an
nounced that they had reached the con
clusion by differeut lines of argument,
and Justices Oray, White and McKenna
announced opinions outlining their re
spective positions. Justices Shirns,
White and McKcnnn also dissented in
the De Lima case, uniting iu an opinion.
Justice Gray also presented an independ
iit nud dissenting opinion in tlint case.
The small courtroom was crowded to
repletion throughout the day, prominent
government ollicials and many attorneys
being present, and the proceedings were
followed from start to finish with keen
interest.
DECISION INTERPRETED,
VJeivs of Solicitor licnerul Hit-hard,
In Clin rite of Iuaulur Cases.
WASHINGTON', May 2H.-Sollcitor
General Klchards of the department of
justice, who had ('Marge of the insular
cases before the supreme court, makes
the following statement containing his
interpretation of the decision of the
court:
"The important question Involved in
these ruses was whether the cession of
territory contained in the trenty of I'aris
made Porto Itico and tho Philippine au
integral part of the United States with
in the nienning of tlint provision of the
constitution requiring 'all duties, Im
post find excises to bo mil form through
out the United States.' The court held that
the cession simply mnde l'orto Kico and
'lie Philippines domestic territory of the
I nited States, subject to the full control
of congress, which control could be ex
ercised without reference to those limita
tions. This limitation the court held
was intended to npply to the stntes of the
Ynion and docs not apply to acquired ter
ritory itnlrss by treaty nnd by subse
quent act of congress It Is Incorporated
within and becomes an Integral part of
the United States. The decisions are
substantially a victory for the govern
ment. They sustain to the fullest extent
the so culled Insular policy of the ad
ministration. The government now has
the sanction of the supreme court for
pure-ruing these islands aa their needs re
quire. "The court holds that the constitution
did not of Its own force nt once apply
to those ceded territories, placing their
people, their products and their ports on
un Immediate equality with ours nnd
conferring upon them nil the rights,
privileges unci immunities enjoyed by the
people, products and ports of the several
states. While their fundamental rights
are preserved by those underlying prin
ciples of thp constitution which apply ev
erywhere the status of their citizens and
the nature of the customs ami commer
cial regulations are to bp determined by
congress in the exercise of the power
vested by the constitution In congress to
mnke all needful rules nud regulations
respecting territory belonging to the
United States. Obviously what I have
said regarding l'orto Kico applies equal
ly well to the Philippines, so that the
president Is perfectly free under the
Spooner act to govern the Philippines aa
their needs and their interests may re
quire. "At the same time that the court has
sustained to the fullest extent the con
tention of the government in these cases
it has decided as a matter of statutory
construction that the Dingley net could
not be held to impose duties on goods
brought from Porto Kico because by
cession Porto Kico became domestic ter
ritory of the United States and therefore
censed to bo 'a foreign country.' The
decisions of the court call for no change
iu the administration of the law."

SOUTH CAROLINA SENATORSHIP.
Itcsiuniitlons of Tlllmiiii nml Mcl.nu
rln Make Affair Coiopllcnteil.
COLUMBIA, S. C, May 27.-It Is
understood that Senator McLaurin and
Senator Tillman have a tacit agreement
to contest for the long term to which
Tillman was elected last January. Un
der the state Democratic party rules tho
candidate must designate specifically tho
otliey to which he aspire s. Whether Me--Laiirin
wins over Tillman or Tillman ia
re-elected McLaurin's unexpired term
will be tilled by a new man.
The governor has the right to appoint
regardless of party action, nnd an effort
will be made to get him to appoint now
men on the ground that Tillman nnd
McLaurin have overstepped tho bounds
of propriety.
The State newspaper editorially today
calls on a third candidate to go into the
race with Tillman and McLaurin, hoping
that the two latter will be defeated.

Deadly Explosion of Dust In
a Tennessee Mine.
SEVENTEEN KXOWX TO BE DEAD. ;
1'orlj-flre Men nt Work When the
Accident Occurred, nml It la
I'Vnrcil ill n I All Have
Perished.
CHATTANOOGA. May 28. A f
rial from Dayton says that an cxplosiot
of mine dust occurred In the new Kich
land coal mine of the Dayton Conl and
Iron company nt .1 o'clock yesterday aft
criioon and that tho dead bodies of IS
white minors have already boon taket
from tho outer drift nnd that live mors
nre known to be dead. It is stnted thai
4." men, nil white,- were at work In tin
niiiio, ami It is feared all have perished.
Keliuf gangs are at work, but on ac
count of the immense amount of delirli
in the shaft the work has been slow and
tedious. The mine is a new one and
extends about 2.IIIMI feet.
Tho explosion is thought to have been
caused by nn open lamp curried by one
of the miners. The mine is several miles
from Dayton, and details are dilllcult tc
obtain. Aii explosion similar to this oc
curred nt the old Kichlaml mine of the
same company, by which 2S miners lost
their lives.
THIRD DAY'3 JOURNEY.
I'reahlentlnl Train Spceil Home,
wnnl Wltltont Kxcltinu liiol.lcnt.
JULKSBUKG. Colo., May 2S. The
presidential train made the third day's
run on the homeward journey without
incident. The trip across Wyoming wns
nt an average elevation of over -l.tKiil feet,
ami at Sherman, just before the train be
gan to descend the eastern slope of the
Rooky motiiitaini, the elevation exceeded
7,."ilKI feet. Brief stoiw wore made for
water and to change ei'.ios at Rawlins,
Laramie nnd Chojcnno, Vy., and Kim
ball and Sidney, Neb. Tho president
made no remarks at any of these places,
but he appeared on the rear platform and
fdiook hands with senile of those nearest
the car. There were crowds at every sta
tion along the route, and every cattle
ranch had its little group of cowboys sit
ting bolt upright on their horses ami
waving their sombreros ns the train
went by.
Mrs. McKinloy is standing the trip
very well and seems rejoiced that every
hour brings her nearer home. Tho weath
er has been exceedingly pleasant, and
that means much for her comfort. Ar- ;
rangemcnts for running the president's
train from Chicago to Washington hnve j
been completed. The train will arrive nt
the national capital nt 7:.'!0 Thursday j
morning. A slow run will lie made from
Omaha to Chicago, timed to have tho
train arrive there early tomorrow morn
ing instead of late at night.
A Providential Itnln.
OGDKN. Utah, May 27. The presi
dential train traversed the state of Ne
vada yesterday and reached Ogdcn at
t!:;tl) o'clock last night. The route lay
along the Humboldt river, through tho
Ruby nnd Washatn mountains, and then
descended into the Salt lake basin. Dur
ing most of the day tho elevation ex
ceeded .".(HHi feet, and snow clad peaks
were coiitiniinlly in sight from tho enr
windows. At this Hon sou of the year the
ride across Nevada is exceedingly disa
greeable. The heat is oppressive, and the
dust from the desert is frequently blind
ing. Fortunately for Mrs. McKinloy one
of those heavy rainstorms which so rare- i
ly visit this region swept completely over
the state during the night, laying the dust
and tempering the atmosphere. Rain fell
also several times during the day. The :
weuther seemed almost like n special in-
tervention of Providence for the benefit I
of the gentle sufferer. Mrs. McKinloy .
passed n comfortable night crossing the ,
Sierras. Dr. Kixey reported that Mrs.
McKinloy was standing the trip very
well. She suffered no inconvenience from
rarefied atmosphere.
