When tlie question of citizenship n applied to native of the new possessions collies before this high tribunal administra tion otllelols will be more annoyed that by Ihe question of tariff.

San Francisco or elsewhere without ref erence to their physical condition. Just preceding this Mr. Dcgetan of Puerto Kico was admitted to practice before the supreme court .although the law stipulates that none but citizens of the I uited Slates can have that privilege. If 1'iietto ltleaus and Phlllppinos are held to be citizens of this country the contract labor and Immigration law cannot bo applied against them.

Therefore the United States has suggested that the matter be referred to the tribunal established by The Hague peace conference. This suggestion was made Satur day by Commissioner Itockhlll. acting under orders from Secretary Hay; but there Is not much hope Hint Hie sug gestion will bo liiM'ded. The powers want a Joint guarantee, because by such nil arrangcmciil some of ihem can sell tliem for a milch better price than If the inline of the United States was not endorsed thereon. The American proposition Is that each power Is lo giinrnnlee the bonds that It Is to receive us Its share of the Indemnity. The American share Is '.".( 11 h 1,1 mo, or about :U,oiki.iiiiii llaik wan laels, The United States guaran teeing these bonds can sell them at par or at a premium large eiuuigli to cut the nominal rale of 4 per cent to '2 1-2. or possibly 'J per cent.

Tho president's olllclnl announce, ment Tuesday that there would not ba nil extra session of congee followed tho receipt by the cabinet of nu opln. Ion from Attorney (leni-rnl Knox that one was not necessary. Mr. Knox told the cabinet that he hail never had any doubt that the affair of the Phil ippines could continue to be comtncleii a nt the present time. He had ev- anilneil the Spoouer and other iimetid nieuis rcltiMng to tin- Philippines, and had carefully gone over the Porto 1 1 1 en 11 decision of the supreme court. lie felt that the president hail ample authority to continue lu force the Im portation and exportation of good from tlie Islands. Mr. Knox did not render 11 formal opinion, simply giving to the president mid cabinet IU views. Ihe main point upon which the opinion was based I that the Philip pines are not a civil basis, and will not be so long as they are subject to tlie control and direction of the presl- nt of the United States and the war drpuri ment. Fveti Willi the Inauguration of what Is called civil government on the 1st of July, as the president Intends, tho Islands will conliniie to remain under military control until congress shall have taken the matter In hand and passed complete laws changing the ad ministration of affairs to a positive civil law establishment. The attorney general elucidated this view by point ing out Hint civil government lu the Philippines Is merely on trial, ami that It Is upheld by the military authorities. Mr. Knox pointed out that when Porto Itlco was ceded to the I'nlted Stales there was 110 dispute a to the possession of Hint Island. When the Philippines were ceded there was a dispute, 11s the Spaniard themselves could hardly claim lo have had full possession. Since American occupation llie possession has been disputed nt nearly every step, and military power has been mcessnry to enforce posses sion. This comlllloti exists to 11 certain degree yet, ami will continue to exist so long 11s the control of affair I In tlie hands of the president, who Is Hie commauiler-ln-chlef of the military forces. The tariff duties are being colleciiil under technical military oc cupation, ns plainly shown by Hie fact that In Hie Philippines they are col lected by agents of the military olilcers In coiitr I In the Islands. riTTSBllltfl. flraln, Flour nil Feed.
