Mimed In a discussion of the Insular
decisions handed down yesterday by

the Stipieiiie tomt On the whole II is
believed that the views of the majoiity
of the com i woie aulti satisfactory to
the administration. It was pointed out
that the ultimate results of the decis
ions are in n measure speculative at
present, with the exception that the
ustoins duties collected In this coun
try on Roods shipped from Ihe Philip
pines since the ratification of the p.irN
treaty will have lo be refunded. It is
not thought, however, that the .ijiKie
Kale will be Ihi'ko. and Secretary ,,'iki!
evpeets that It will be within $1,000,0(10.
Ho called attention lo the fact that the
Kreat bulk of the imports from the
Philippines were admitted free of duly
under our general tariff laws, notably
hemp.
The pteseiit nil ill' now in operation
in tlie Philippines, .Mr. Ciaae thinks,
wilt need little or no levNion, It was
prepared alter the most tluiroiixli and
intelligent investigation, and is said to
he highly satisfaototy to the business
lutereiits of the islands. The prepar
ation of a inrltf on Philippine impui
cations into the I'nlted States, how
i ver. is expected to consume i iinsider
ulile of tlie time of cti!H(ies. but theie
