THE HEADLIGHT. PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY. SUBSCRIPTION $1.00 PER YEAR. A. KOSCOWER, Editor and Proprietor. Golhsboro, X. C, Dec. 12, 1901. OUR INSULAR CASES, The Supremo Court of the Unit ed States has decided in the Phili ppines tariff cases that the collect ion of duties on merchandise im ported from the archipelago under present conditions is illegal. Chief .Justice Fuller, who delivered the opinion of the court, hold that by the third article of the Treaty of Paris Spain ceded the Philippine Islands to the United States; that the United States agreed to pay 20,000,000 for the archipelago; that the treaty was ratified by the Senate; that Congress appropriat ed the money to pay Spain for the islands, and that the ratification of the treaty was duly proclaimed The treaty-making power, the Ex ecutive power and the legislative power having concurred in (he completion of the transaction, the Philippines ceased to be foreign territory and came under the abso lute sovereignty and domain of the United States, and so became ter ritory of the United States. In the case decided by the Supreme Court, the question involved was whether diamond rinirs brought to this country from the Philippines by a United States soldier were dutiable. The rings were seized by the cus terns authorities, and the court be low hold that merchandise import ed from the Philippines was sub ject to duty. The Supreme Court yesterday reversed the decision of the lower court, holding that as the Philippines are territory of the United States, goods brought from the archipelago are not now sub ject to duty. This case is analogous to the Le Lima case, which the Supreme Court decided last May. Tnc court then held that duties col lected on imports from Porto Ri co after the cession by Spain and before the passage by Congress of the Foraker tariff act, wore ille gally collected, Porto Kico being territory of the United States. The Supremo Court also decided what is known as the "second Doo ley case." In the first Dooley case the assessment of duties during the military occupation of Porto Kico and before the ratification of tl;o peace treaty was held to be legal. The collection of duties after tho treaty was ratified and before the Foraker act was passed was de clared to be illegal. The second Dooley case involved the collect ion under the Foraker act of duties on goods imported into Porto Ki co from thr United Slates. The Supreme Court holds that the For aker act is constitutional, that as Porto Kico is domestic territory duties levied on imports into the island from the United States are not a tax on exports, and that Con gress had the power to provide for such a contingency as had arisen in Porto Kico, especially as the For aker act was legislation in the in terest of Porto Kico. The Supreme Court has now decided all the ca ses involving the relation of the United States to the dependencies it acquired from Spain. It has left groat discretion to Congress in the matter of taxation. Ixstkad of harrying the con quered Filipinos with grevious and marrow-searching taxation, the civil administration at Manila lets them alone in their possessions, and sends schoolmasters abroad in the archipelago to sow seeds of loyalty to American 'institutions. Searcaly more than a beginning has boon made in this direction, since the school appropriations for the current year aggregate but little more than 8215,000, while there are more than 1,500,000 children of school age in the islands. In imparting to these future represen atives of the native Filipino ele ment knowledge of our language, commercial methods and political institutions the American school masters will take a long stride to ward the goal of complete Philip pine Americanization. Armies may crush out open resistance and seize the reins of public authority; but as a means for reaping and keeping the fruits of victory the multipli cation table in the school is might ier than all the weapons that su perior military fore could muster a-iield. The possibility anil the advan tage of fusion between the Demo crats and Independent Republi cans of Pennsylvania for the ac complishment of certain ends upon which all honest citizens are agreed was demonstrated in the late cam paign. It is gratifying to observe that fusion is not to be abandoned. The instantly important work to do is to secure honest and cour ageous election officers at every polls, and try and secure honest elections and a fair count. National Capital Matters. m Our Kcuuliir Correspoudent. Washington, Dec. 10, 1001. There has been little that was re-1 markable about the opening of the Fifty-seventh Congress and the re ception of the President's message. There was the usual crush in Senate galleries and on the floor of the House, the usual abundance of flow ers, largely provided by the politic lobbyists, and the usual self-congratulation of the party in the ma jority. A notable incident in the Senate was the extreme discomfiture of Senator Hanna as the toadies gath ered around Senator Lodge who is now recognized as the President's representative in the Senate, a posi tion which the Senator from Ohio has occupied with great complacency for a number of years. The Senate caucus determined to reduce Demecratic representation on the committees by the adoption of new rules. Heretofore the Repub licans have been content with a ma joaity of one on all important com mittees, but under the new rules the Democrats will be completely barred from reDresentation on a number of the committees, among them agri culture, appropriations, finance, civil service, education, labor.Philippines, pension, post-office, etc. This is, of course, a serious violation of the rights of the minority, but there is nothing the Democrats can do but abide by the rule of the majority and reflect that when it comes to explain ing their mistakes to the country the Republicans will have only them selves to blame. I understand that it is the inten tion of Speaker Henderson to follow the precedent set by the Senate to some extent, at least, and cut down democratic representation on the va rious House committees. In the House all responsibility for such ac tion will rest on the Speaker, and it therefore possible that he will hesi tate about going as far as has the Senate where the action is the work of the majority. There is little doubt that on one ground or another the Republicans will appropriate to them selves practically everything worth having. The decision of the Supreme Court which was rendered on Monday fell like a bomb in the Republican camp. By it absolute free trade is establish ed between the Philippine Islands and the United States, and effects of the decision are retroactive, so that probably some $4,000,000, which have been collected as duty on goods ship ped both to and from the islands, will have to be refunded. Secretary Gage said at Tuesday's Cabinet meet ing that he thought the repayment of more than one-fourth this amount could be avoided, but it is difficult to understand how this is to be done. From the fact that duty on Philip pine sugar into the United States has already amounted to $1,492,000 it will be easy to appreciate what a saving the perpetuation of present conditions would mean to Amtrican consumers, to say nothing of the in creased prosperity to the Filipinos, but Congress will immediately take steps to remedy this condition of af fairs. The present programme is to rush through a joint resolution of Senate and House enacting the Taft Commission tariff. TheOxnard peo ple are most active in their efforts to promote immediate legislation which will prevent the admission of Philip pine sugar free of duty. The introduction of bills of all kinds and descriptions has begun at a rapid rate. In the House, Representative Littlefield, of Maine, has introduced an anti-trust bill drawn on lines sim ilar to those of the measure passed by the House last session. It pro vides for publicity, as advised in the President's message, but goes much farther in its provisions and provides penalties, etc., for combinations of capital, which, in view of the caution of the President's message, will hard ly meet with the approval of the Sen ate even if it should pass the House. Among other bills introduced on the first day in the House was on by Mr. Fowler, of New Jersey, providing for the establishment of a reciprocity commission as recommended by the late reciprocity convention held here. There will be a bill passed early in the session giving to Mrs. McKinley a pension of $5,000 per annum. There will be no expression of opposition to this bill and, perhaps for that rea son, some of the friends of Mrs. Har rison are working to secure the at tachment of a rider giving a similar pension to the widow of President Harrison. Considering fact that Mrs. Harrison married the General so late in life and that she is not in actual need of the pension there will be considerable opposition to the grant ing of a pension to her, but it is pos sible that a delicacy of feeling about holding up Mrs. McKinley's pension, even though it is entirely due to the rider, may prevent any negative votes in Congress. Russell B. Har rison has come to Washington to lobby for the rider. Deafness Canuot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear.

With Jewels Husband Flees. Columbia, S. C, Dec. 10. A sen sation developed at Sumpter today. t became known through the inves tigation of a detective that the man named Foster, alleging to be a wealthy Mexican mine owner, who, on October 1G, at Grace church, New York city, married Miss Eliza Herr man Wicker, daughter of a million aire, is none other than Captain A. F. Freeland, of Sumpter, who has been in several scrapes. Freeland was for years roadmas ter of the Columbia and Florence di vision of the Atlantic Coast Line railroad. He formerly lived in Sum ter, where he had business connec tions. He was discharged after eigh teen years' service for alleged im moral conduct, but quickly estab lished himself in business, becoming the president of a mill company. As such he raised, all the money possi ble and deserted his business and family. He returned to the funeral of his wife, was arrested for fraud, but could not be convicted. Free land went to Germany Springs to get cured of rheumatism. In Europe he changed his name ro Foster. Returning on a trans-Atlantic liner, he met Mr. Wicker and daugh ter. Before arriving in New York the young woman had promised to marry him immediately. The father consented, but the brothers of the girl protested without effect, and the marriage took place several days afterwards. The brothers charged Foster with being an impostor. He secured his wife's jewelry and money and fled. Papers and letters in the trunk left behind told his secrets The matter has been closely guarded in New York. The object of the fam ily is to secure evidence to quickly and quietly have the marriage an nulled. Drore a Knife to Boy's Heart. Cincinnati, O., Dec. 10. The shocking scene of a school boy 8 years old stabbed to death by a schoolmate aged 11 was witnessed ou the streets of Newport, Ky.f at noon today. Joseph Creelman, the victim, had had a quarrel in the school room with Eddie Armines, and when on their way home the quarrel was renewed. A third boy taking the part of Creelman,- threw a piece of brick which struck Armi nes on the hand. At that moment Creelman ran up to him and was stabbed. He soon fell, and in fifteen minutes was dead. The Armines boy walked rapidly away, carrying the pocketknife in his hand. He went to the fire engine house, where his uncle is captain, and threw the knife into an out house, but said nothing about the murder until the news of the lad's death. His uncle then promptly sur rendered him to the police, to whom the boy told this story of the crime "Creelman missed his reading les son and was sent to the foot of the class. The teacher made him sit at the blackboard and I laughed at him. When school was out he cursed me. I started for the engine house and Plummer threw a brick at me and Creelman ran up and grabbed me by the arms. I did not think the brick was thrown at me until it hit me on the hand. Then I stuck the knife out easy and heard his coat rip." Both boys belong to excellent families. Our Loconiotires Abroad. Washington, D. C.,Dec.l0. Amer ican locomotives in their preliminary trials between Miramas and Aries, France, were stated to have main tained a speed of 71.45 miles an hour, according to a report received at the State Department from Consul Gen eral Skinner, at Marseilles, under date of November 6. Mr. Skinner reports that the speed at certain moments was as high as 77.67, and 80.77 miles an hour over an especially good portion of the track. The trials were regarded as very satisfactory. For Three Years be Slept. Hiawatha, Kans., Dec. 10. J. S. Lee, a Kansas pioneer, died here to day after an illness lasting three years. During that time he slept most of the time. While in Santa Ann, Cal., be slept from May 28 to August 20. He was brought home early in September and has been sleeping continuously since the 2d day of that month. Shortly before he died he awoke.

I have not forgotten the ten years we lived in the country and the ap prehension I felt every day I was away from home. The citizens who live in towns or cities and whose wives and daughters are protected by day and by night know nothing of the shadowy fear that follows those who live in the country and have no protection against the brutes. This fear is the greatest impediment to country schools and the controlling reason that causes every prosperous farmer to rent out his farm and move to town. It was this that broke up our school and brought my family and most of the neighbors to Carters- ville. And now the northern press is gloating over the prospect of reduc ing our representation, because the negro has been disfranchised. "Let them do it," says Bishop Gailor. We must control the negro or the south will be ruined by them. After it is done wtll we have peace or will the Republican party and the G. AR.'s (grab all, republicans), hunt for some thing else to feed upon? Well, Mor- decai is still sitting at the gate, but it was Haman who was hanged. Bill Arp. Lire Man in a Box. New York. Dec. 10. When a 'longshoreman dropped into the hold of the steamer Palatia, of the Hamburg-American line, just arrived at the Hoboken docks, he was startled to hear a weak voice call for water Then he heard moans. Summoning assistance he made a search and found a man lying across some salt sacks. The man was drag ged to the deck and became uncon scious. He was sent to a Hoboken hospital, but has little chance of re covery or of ever telling his strange tale. Investigation shows that the stran ger had been boxed up in Germany in a packing case marked "J B. 71 In the case were a small bottle which had contained whiskey and also some crumbs of bread. A piece of paper was found marked "John Beck." The box was marked in German: "This side up; with care." There were no air holes, in the box and the batch to the hold had not been opened from the time the Pala tia left port until she reached Ho boken. It is the opinion of investi gators that during the last of the trip the stowaway became so fren zied that he broke out of the box, but there was no way for him to give the alarm. The man was well dressed and evi dently about 30 years old. He had less than a dollar in German money in his pockets. Up to the present the consignor or consignee of the case has not been discovered. An American Express wagon had called twice for a box marked as this one was, and it is believed that something more may be learned of the strange affair. The Palatia is a freight ship, slow, and was longer than usual in making her latest trip. It is believed that the man was in the hold at least 15 days. Bank Robbers Kill. Chelsea, Iowa, Dec. 10. Night Marshal J. B. Smith was shot at 2 o'clock this morning by robbers who were attempting to break into the State Bank. At 4 o'clock the mar shal died. The robbers made their escape on a hand-car over the North western Railway, but a suspect has been captured at Keystone. The robbers were first discovered by Alfred Compt, who was returning from a dance. He was seized, blind folded, bound and gagged, and tied to a lumber pile. A few minutes later Marshal Smith discovered them. He fired a shot at the robbers and they replied with a shot which hit him in the head. Several posses are now out hunting for the robbers and it is believed they will come up n them before long. GOLDS BOKO MARKET REPORT. Corrected By Baker & Eitson.

J Norfolk, Va., Dec. 10. Chief Vel- lines, of the Norfolk police, said to night that he has indisputable evi dence that Miss Nellie Cropsey whose disappearance from her home at Elizabeth City, N. C, caused such a stir, left home voluntarily and is alive and well. He said that he has been tracing the girl for sev eral days and ascertained that she boarded a train on the Seaboard Air Line at Franklin, Va., and ar rived at Norfolk Friday morniag, November 22. He said that she was not accompanied by any one when she reached Norfolk. He said that she "went on" from Norfolk, but where she went and by what convey ance he would not say. Chief Vellines who went to Eliza beth City, returned here thi3 after noon after seeing a number of per sons who had furnished the proof re quired to establish the facts stated, "You may say," Chief Vellines said, "that I say I know what I have told you is the truth. I can not properly say more, but I consider it is right for me to let it be published and known that the girl is alive and well and was neither murdered nor ab ducted." Young Wilcox, Miss Cropsey's ad mirer, was reported to have fled. Advices from Elizabeth City to night stated that he is on a farm five miles in the country, it being deemed prudent that he leave the town for awhile. EAST GOLDSBORO CHRISTMAS PROCLAMATION.
