HE HAS A FREEHAND The President May Deal With Our Insular Possessions As Their Needs Require. SC SAYS U. S. SUPREME COURT Decision Handed Down By the Highest Tribunal One of the Most Momentous In the Nation s History—Constitution Does Not Follow the Flag. Washington. May 2S. In the United States supreme court yesterday afternoon opinion' were handed down in all but two of tile eases before that court involving the relation of the United States to its insular possessions. The two cases ill which no conclusion was announced were those known as the Fourteen Diamond Rings case ami the second of the Dooley eases. The undecided Dooley ease deals with a phase of the Porto Hico question, and the diamond rings case involves the right to tin- fret* importation of merchandise from tlie Philippines to the United States. Os tlie several eases decided the two which attiacted tlie greatest share of attention from tlie court were what is known as the De Lima case and that known as the Downes case, and of these two the opinion in the Downes case is considered the most far-reaching, as it affects our future relations, whereas the De Lima case dealt with a transitional phase of our insular relations. The De Lima case was the first to receive the attention of the court, and as it appeared to Ik* quite swecpiugly opposed to the government's contentions, many persons precipitately arrived at the conclusion that the government had been worsted all along the liue. This view suffered a decided change when the conclusion was announced in the Downes case. The court was very evenly divided on both cases, but political lilies were not at all controlling. GIHEHNMIM NOT RESTRAINED Uhde Sam Now Has a Free Hand In Dealing With Dusky Children. Washington. May 2s—Solicitor Gen eral Richards of the department of justice. who had charge of the insular cases la'fore the supreme court, has made the following statement containing his interpretation of the decisions □f the court: "The important question involved iu these cases was whether the cession of territory contained iu the treaty of Paris made Porto Rico and tlie Philippines an integral part of tlie United States within tlie meaning of that provision of the constitution requiring ’all duties, impests and excises to l>e uniform throughout the United States.’ The court held that the cession simply made Porto Rico and tlie Philippines domestic territory of the United States, subject to the full control of congress, which control can lie exercised without reference to those limitations. This limitation, the court held, was intended to apply to the states of the Union and does uot apply to acquired territory unless by treaty ami by subsequent act of congress it is incorporated within and liecomes an integral [>art of the United States. The decisions are substantially a victory for the government. They sustain to tlie fullest extent the so-called insular policy of the administration. The government now has the sanction of the supreme court for governing these islands as their needs require. The court holds that the constitution did not of its owu force at om e apply to those ceded territories, placing their i>eople. their products, and their {torts on au immediate equality with ours and conferring upou them all the rights, privileges and immunities enjoyed by the i>eople. products and ports of the several states. While their fundamental rights are preserved by those underlying principles of the constitution which apply everywhere, the status of their citizens and the nature of tlie customs and commercial regulations are to b»* determined by congress iu the exercise of the power vested by the constitution in congress to make all needful rules and regulations respecting territory belonging to the I United States. Obviously, what I have said regarding Porto Rico applies equally well to the Philippines, so that the president is perfectly free under the Spooner a t to govern the Philippines as their needs and our Interests may reqaire. “At the same time that the court has sustained to the fullest extent the contention of the government in these cases, it has decided as a matter of statutory construction that the Dingley act could not lie held to Impose duties on goods brought from Porto lllco because by cession Porto Rico tiecame domestic territory of the United States and therefore ceased to lie a "foreign country." The decisions of the court call for no change in the adtnlnistmtlon of the law.” President Breaks the Sod. San Francisco.

ITS FIRST TROUBLE -■* American Legation Guards At Pekin Have a Tilt With the Germans. A SENTRY THAT MEANT BUSINESS Attempt On the Part of German Officers to Rush the Guard Provokes the Yankee Spirit of Independence—An Incident Occurring On Legation Street. In Pekin. Pekin, May 27.—The United States legation guard has had its first trouble. Legation street is being repaired near tlie legation, and an American sentry was placed at the point witli ■ orders to direct people around by a side street. Everybody obeyed tlie request with the exception of the Germans. lK>tli officers and soldiers, who have caused the American sentries much trouble. One of the German officers drew his sword and charged an American soldier, who brought his bayonet to "charge," whereupon the officer desisted. Subsequently a German soldier charged past tlie sentry, who fired, hitting another German soldier near the German legation, a quar- : ter of a mile off. This fortunately was 1 only a light flesh wound. The sentry | has been placed under arrest, and i Major Robertson has instituted au in- j vestigation. Tlie attitude of Dr Muntin Von Sehwartzenstein. Get man minister, representing the civilians, and Count I Von Waldersee. representing the military. as well as that of other high officials, has been particularly friendly toward tlie American*, which makes all the more pronounced the unfriend- 1 ly feeling evinced by a majority of the German officers and men. This unfriendliness is attributed to the AmericAh_attitude in retaining eouyol with the legation guard of one entrance to the Forbidden City, which the Ger- 1 mans consider a reflection upon their i national honesty. Sunday's meeting of the ministers of i the powers was devoted to closing up details of business independent of the indemnity question, although the military authorities of the various powers seem to consider a settlement in j sight, as general preparations are being made for the evacuation of Pekin ! in the early future. Two German marine battalions have 1 left for Tsing Tau and British trans- ' ports have been ordered. Count Von Waldersee exiMK-ts to leave about the middle of June. Emperor Kwang Su lias instructed agents to prepare the palaces for occupation by the court so soon as the troops depart. More < recti Revision. Des Moines. la.. May 25.—The important topic now before the United I Presbyterian general assembly is a revision of the creed, which provides ' that 110 memlier of any secret society can tie a member of the church.

How To Gain Flesh Persons have been known tc gain a pound a day by taking an ounce of SCOTT'S EMULSION. It is strange, but it often happens. Somehow the ounce produces the pound j it seems to start the digestive machinery going properly, so that the patient is able to digest and absorb his ordinary food, which he could not do before, and that is the way the gain is made. A certain amount of flesh is i necessary for health; if you have not got it you can get it by taking scors fmaision You will find it just as useful in summc t as in winter, and if you are thriving upon . it don’t stop buaase the weather is warm. jot, and co, all drug gnu.
