Washington, January 14. The United
States Supreme Court to-day resumed
Us hearing in the case of Charles Huui
vs. the New Ycrk and Porto Kicu
Steamship Company and Senator Lind
say continued the argument begun bj
him on Friilay. Tie- action involves th(
question of p:!ota:;e, the owner of th
steamship ciaimin;; exemption on th
! ground that I' rt i Kican ports hat

Senator Lin.:sa. said: Should it to
Jecidid that Porto liiean ports are not
fortiKii ports in the ord'nary sense o'
the wc.rd. it would be a violent con
struction to interpret the language o;
the statute of the State or Xew York
passed in JSS4, so as to exempt frori

f tht ir enactment.
"And it would not be reasonable t
assume that the legislature of the Stati
proposed to xempt from pilotage ves
s-Is belonging to after acquired and fai
distant territory of the United States.'
Senator l-irul-ay quoted from decis

I cisi'in establish
support of th-- ;
j which apply to the pilotage case. The
first of these was that the Government

which its sovereignty extends in time
f peace without necessarily extending
the Constitution of the United Statea
ta that country or its people, and the
second that the grant of legislative
power to Congress includes the power
to legislate for any people over which
sovereignty is extended.
Senator Lindsay was followed by F.
Kingsbury Curtis for the steamship
oir.pany who contended that the ves
sel upon which pilotage was demanded
was exempt en the ground that Porte
Kican pi i ts had ceased to be foreign
and that by the act of April 12, 1900,
the trade bctwten Porto Rico and thti

George W. Urossrr.an. et al. appellants
vs. the Uiiittd Statts. was called.
The ta.-e is one covering the entrj

ai d is the only Hawaiian case in th
list. Uuty w as asst ssed under the pro
visions of the IMr.gb-y law. The im
porter protested aga.nst the rollectlor

United States; that the provision foi

Appeal w.is taken to the Hoard of Gen
eral Appi.tistis. to the United Statej
Circuit Court and the Supreme Court
Mr. "Vickham Smith for the appellants
laid down the f. ilo.vip.g general propo
sit ions '
1. At the time of the importation o:
these goods the Hawaiian islands, hav
ir.g bt eii oy the .it lion of Congress ap
proved t.y the President annexed as t
part ef the territory of the Unitec
Stated, were not a foreign countr;
within any sense of that term, ant
certainly not within the sense of tha,
term as used in the enacting clause o
the I'ii.eiey tariff act.
'2. The action of Congress in provld
ing in the joint : esolution of annexatloi
that the customs rtlations of the Ha
waiian islands with the United State:
and with other countries should re
main unchanged until Congress shouu
further legislate on the subject, was t
vi' latii-n of the provision of the Con
stltutii n that "a duties. Imposts anc
ext is- s shafl be uniform throughoul
the United States.'
3. As such joint resoi lion provided
fi r the collection at the ports of th
Hawaiian islands of duties upon ar
ticks s-ent thither from other ports ol
the United States, this was. in effect,
a violation of the provision of Section
y of the Constitution that "no tax oi
duty shall be laid on articles exported
from any State."
Counsel argued that this case was no
like others before the court recently foi
the reason that there was no question

Mr. Smith argued that in four out of
five places where the words United
States were used in the Constitution
the term includes the States and terrl
tories as well. The exception is that
clause providing for the election OS
Presidential electors.
Counsel continued: "There Is no prln
eiple of grammar, logic, law or com
mon sense on which the words
throughout the United States In the
uniformity clause with regard to taxa
Hon can be restricted to the States, ex
cluding the territories. Those who con
tend, as the other side does, that the
Constitution has no force or operation
in any territory until Congress puts it
there cannot escape from maintaining
that Congress has power at any time to
take the constitution out of the terri
tories. This may not even need the for
mality of enactment, as a special sub
sequent statute repugnant to a prior
general statute obviously repeals the
latter (the Cherokee tobacco case, 11
Wall, 616), and therefore, accoiding tc
the other side. Congress must have a
right to-morrow to create an eider oi
nobility in Oklahoma or to pass a bill
of attainder in Arizona. He said that
after Congress had by joint resolution
annexed the islands as a part of the
territory of the United States it had
certainly legislated enough to make
them cease to be foreign.
Mr. Smith cited a treasury decision oi
April 17, 1900, holding that Porto Rice
was not a foreign country within the
neaning of the drawback clause of the
Dingtey law, and aiked why Hawaii
should have been considered a foreign
country at that time.
The provision of the annexation acl
vhich continued in force the customs
regulations of the republic was a clear
violation of the uniformity clause of
the Constitution. In case the islands
were considered foreign, he said, any
tax collected there upon goods coming
from this country would be in effect an
export tax. The d. : i.;i(jn of the Su
preme Court of i'awaii, to the effect
that the Const; tu of the United
States had been in foi ce in the islands

'THE NOBLEST ROMAN OF THEM ALL."
Great as He Was in Military vJenius,
He Was a Man Equally Great In
Chivalrous Christian Character The
Flower of Southern flanhood, With
out Fear and Without Reproach, He
Wore the White Flower of a Blame
less Life.
Apropos of the birthday anniversary
of Gen. Kobert K. Lee, (Saturday next,
January 19th), the following tributes
will be read with interest. The first
extract is clipped from the Progressive
Farmer as follows:
Replying to a protest from a camp
of ex-Union soldiers in whose breasts
sectional hatred still burns fiercely
against the name of Robert E. Lee
appearing in the Hall of Fame, the
Senate of New York University says.
that when the names were being con
sidered "no one of the Senate moved
the omission of the name of Robert E.
Lee. The Senate, therefore, agrees
with the finding of that large majority
of judges more than two-thirds of
whom inscribed his name, lhey re
spect these electors as men of highest
patriotism, judicial temper and thor
ough acquaintance with all the im
portant tacts respecting Gen. Lee.1'
GEN'EKAL KOBKKT E. LEE.
This is a littinjr rebuke to the New
York Sim and others of its ilk. Noth
ing is more secure than the fame of
Robert E. Lee. Great as he was in
military genius, he was a man equally
great in chivalrous Christian character
the flower of Southern manhood, a
man without fear and without re
proach, who wore the white llowcr of
a blameless life. We know of no man
in American history so worthy of
standing as a model of bontherb
youth. He was a well-rounded man.
As the eloquent Ren Hill once said:
He was a foe without hate, a tnend
without treachery, a soldier without
cruelty, and a victim without mur-
rniinn He was as gentle as a woman
in life, pure and modest as a virgin
in thought, watchful as a Roman
vestal, submissive to law as Socrates,
as srand in battle as Achilles. He
was
Ca'sar without his ambition,
Frederick without his tyranny,
his
Napoleon without bis selfishness, and
Washington without his reward''
And what a contrast between the
actions and characters of the little
narrow creatures that are protesting
against this decision of the managers
of the Hall of Fame and the character
of Lee himself llthe heart, which
after the failure of its great endeavor
could break in silence and die with
out the utterance of one word of
bitterness.11 The impartial verdict
of history will likely accord quite
nearly with that of Col. Theodore
Roosevelt, who says:
"The world has never seen better
soldiers than those who followed Lee,
and their leader will undoubtedly
rank, without exception, as the very
greatest of all the captains that the
English speaking people have brought
forth; and this, although the last and
chief of his antagonists, may himself
claim to stand as the full equal of
Malborourh or Wellington."
But sectional feeling is steadily li v
ing out. Once we had Civil War, "tis
true, but we should "brithers be for
a1 that.11 The time will come is now
here with the thinking masses when
the North will delight to honor the
memory of the peerless Lee, and the
South will recognize the magnanim
ity and greatness of Grant when the
entire country will cherish the mem
ory of Fart agut and Sheridan, Jackson
and Johnston, know ing the former not
as rsortherners, nor the latter as
Southerners, but all as Americans.
WISES' TKIBI TE TO J.EE.
Accompanying his communication
with a tribute to Lee from the pen of
Hon. John S. Wise, a correspondent
of the Charlotte Observer writes that
paper as follows:
You will, I am sure, gladly repro
duce the following exquisite tribute
to (Jen. Lee from John S. Wise's
recent book, "The End of An Era."
As our beloved Lee recedes into the
realm of history, his wonderful char
acteristics shine out with increasing!
lustre. A very "lord of battle" he
vet showed the world that he could
l5e humane, gentle, forgiving and
reverent.
A few weeks ago I stood for the first
time upon the steps of his leautiful
Arlington. The Potomac of history
and song rolled at my feet and just
across the river glittered a world citv
in its magnificence. As I gazed upon
the panorama, with its clond capped
shaft in honor of another, but no
greater patriot, in the foreground, I
saw not the enemy's graves scattered
thick around me, I thought only of
him whose matchless and immortal
spirit so dominated the scene as to
eclipse all else
iieyond the massive
columns of the portico I looked up at
the windows and wondered from

which one he had oftenest looked out
upon this fairest picture in all the
land. Then my thoughts travelled to
that quiet retreat, far away from his
lordly Arlington, where in supreme
dignity, and with a resignation little
less than divine, he gave those last
years to training the youth of his
State refusing the riches that Eng
land and his devoted South eagerly
offered him. T turned away sad at
heart and yet with a thrill of pride ;
and exultation in the majesty of the
man who had counted this regal
estate, and the highest military hon- !
ors oT the other side, as nothing when j
duty was in the balance: j
'It is impossible to speak of Gen

l have looked at the peaks of the
Rocky Alountaius outlined against the
sky; when, in mid-ocean, I have seen
the limitless waters encircling us, un
bounded save by the infinite horizon
the grandeur, the vastness of these
have invariably suggested thoughts
of General Robert E. Lee. Certainly
it is that the Confederacy, contained
no other man like him. When its
brief career was ended, in him was
centered, as in no other man, the
trust, the love, almost the worship of
those who remained steadfast to the
end. When he said that the career
of the Confederacy was ended; that
the hope of an independent govern
ment must be abandoned; that all had
been done which mortals could accom
plish against the power of overwhelm
ing numbers and resources; and that
the duty of the future was to abandon
the dream of a Confederacy and to
render a new and cheerful allegiance
to a re-united government his utter
ances were accepted as true as Holy
Writ. No other human beintr upon
earth, no other earthly power, could
have produced such acquiescence, or
could have compelled such prompt ac
ceptance of that final and irreversible
judgment.
"Of General Lee's military great
ness, absolute or relative, 1 shall not
speak; of his moral greatness I need
not speak. The man who
could so stamp his impression upon
hi3 nation, rendering all others in
significant beside him, and yet die
without an enemy; the soldier who
could make love for his army a sub
stitute for pay and clothing and food,
and could, by the constraint of that
love, hold together a naked, starving
band and transform it into a lighting
army; the heart after which the fail
ure of its great endeavor could break
in silence and die without the utter
ance of one word of bitterness such a
man, sucli a soldier, such a heart,
must have been great indeed great
beyond the power of eulogy.1'

was 31 ade .Senator Carter
Ank for mi Early Vote on the
Grouuda flint the Delay m Coat
ing thettoveriiitiriit 500,000 n liny
Washington, January II. In the Senatt
to-day Mr. Teller, of Colorado, soeakina
to n amendment he had offered to th
the army measure to-day, not a singU
amendment being disposed of linally.
The pending guest Ion at the opening ol
the session was an amendment offered by
Mr. Bacon, of Georgia, striking out thai
provision of the bill authorizing the Pres-
ident to increase the number of non-commissioned
officers and privates in anj
troop of cavalry. 1
Mr. Bacon declared tha: both the k'ttei
and spirit of the Constitution were ot-
i . . .... ... . - . . i .1..
liustu to liie iuta ti toiiiti i nig upua uk
President discretionary authority to in
crease the size of the army. Such powei
was vested only in Congress, and tht
transfer of such autnoiity was a depar-
ture rom the principles lixed by a hun-
.... ., .... e t .
dred years of American history.
After some desultory discussion Mr. Ba
con withdrew his amendment and offeree
another introducing the words "during
the present exigency of the service," sc
that the clause would read "provided thai
the President, during tne present exi-
rcnrr rf ill. L-i.rvi.. 1 ! li i .1 A !i.rtt in n f fill V
increase the "number of corporals in an
troop cf cavalry to eight and the numbel
of privates to seventy-six."
Discussing the phrase "exigency of th
service," Mr. Caffery. cf Louisiana, sale
he presumed it was "the Presidential idea
of war hi the Philippines."
Jlr. i!nIIory. of Florida, said, as to ex
igencies, it was possible an exigency
might arise for the ue of an army in
Cuba.
Speaking to the amendment last offered
by Mr. Bacon, Mr. Foraker, of Ohio,
maintained that the army of 58.000, the
minimum size of the army fixed by the
pending measure, wuj not a large force
in all circumstances. The conference of
authoiity upon the President to increase
the ti-e of the army within a maximum
limit, Mr. Foraker declared, was dis
tinctly in line with precedents.
Mr. Rat-on replied that the pending
measure, in whic.i Congress abdicated a
part cf its power when enacted, would
be a permanent law.
Mr. I'.awley interrupted Mr. Bacon tc
say that the act would not be permanent
law, and the Senator (Eacon) knew it
There is no such thing as permanent
law.
Mr. Allison declared there was no pur
pose in i.ie pending bill to puss the au
thority of Congress to the President. Con
grcss would be abie at any time to in
crear.e cr decrease the tizj of the army!
The power conferred by the bill upon the
President could he exercised only with
the consent of Congress.
"These matters." he tald. "are constant
ly within the control cf Congress, and nc
President can or will go contrary to Con
sress."
Mr. Hawley mace an appeal to the Sen
ate to ctase discussion and pass the bill
He pointed out the necessity of action in
order that the volunteers now in the Phil
tppints might be relieved and withdrawn.
Mr. Spooner, of Wisconsin, advocated
the provision which conferred upon th
President discretionary authority to in
crease the size of the army.
Further discussion of his amendment
was postponed until to-morrow.
An amendment was offered by Mr. Tel
ler. cf Colorado, to that section of the
bill whii h authorizts the President to re
tire any officer who has been suspended
from i. jly either by sentence of court
marti3l cr by executive order in mitiga
tion of rucii sentence, striking out the
words "has been and substituting there
for "shall be hereafter.
After ?ayirg ih-t the section had been
lncorpoiaied in the bid for the purposd
of er.al.iir.g the Pre.-i.ient to retire Gene
ra! Eaan, former con. ir.issary general of
tht arir;. . Mr. Teller declared it was re
tained in the bill in order that an officer
O- the aimy, Ma.ior Jcseph W. Wham
miiht bo ;ot rid of. "i-e cannot be gotten
rid of in ; ny othi r v.;.;.. " said Mr. Teller
"and i.e cught not t b.- ;;ot rid of in any
circur. :-.: r:ce..
Mr. T ii-r adverted to the case of Gen
era! Ku:-.n at scire hrlh. Of the beef
f uri:i hi .i the al n y. 1..- .-aid. it was "boil
ed a:L,J tuiiiiid, and of vt:ry ancient line
age. fc-rre cf which bad made a trip to
Europe ; a., bai I i. ' fed to our sol
diers aftt-r it had l eer: condemned by Eu
ropean govt ri':r.ieiif j." Mr. Teller de
nourctd General K.-pan in sensational
language. "As an of:i -r of the United
States army." sai.i t: e St .-.ator, "he made
i.n cxhitiiicn f i. v - 1 ' -..d showed him
self to I e a misetubh' ' .'at kguard."
Mr. Teller deiar d c. nei.tl Ejmd'j
language "was tiih.il ar.d low, and so
Pad it could hot he ov rino'.ied, although
there was a vtiy tl.!ti.t ..t .-ire to over
look it."
Mr. Te!!er made a stinging attack upon
the President for having retirej General
Eagan. asserting that "the retirement. In
the circumstances was a decoration and
not a pur.lshrr.ent. and many of the
American people believe It was a. decora
tion and a reward fur his attack upon the
general commanding the army." At con
siderable length iir. Teller then discuss
ed t..c tase of Major Wham.
Mr. Carter, cf Montana, one of the
numbers cf the Military Affairs Commit
tee, appealed for the passage cf the pend
ing measure at an early e'.ate. He said
that on the Pacific there were only eight
transports at the disposal of the govern
ment for the transportation of troops to
and from the Philippines. By beginning to
transport the troops at once they might
be able to complete the work by Jujy 1,
the expiration of the present law. Other
wise special vessels may have to be
chartered and fitted up at immense ex
pense. "I think the Senate ought to
know," said Mr. Carter, "that each day"
delay in the passage of thin bill will ln
volve an additional expenditure of at
least Sjuu.OOO." Mr. Carter said he would
to-morrow ask the Senate to fix a day fot
final vote.
Mr. Teller immediately declared that ha
would object ai this time to any date bJ
ing fixed. Its propositions were of SUdS
a character as to demand full debate. Is
the party In power, said he, desired to f&
cllitate its passage, toe Senate could bfl
asked to meet at 11 o'clock each day.
"This bill is not a party measure." suf
gested Mr. Carter. "It was reported tq
this body by a committee composed m
men of all parties. If the Senator from
Colorado insists considering It as a partj
measure "
"That is a gratuitous Insult." shouted
Mr. TeUer.
-I was about to say." continued M-T
acuator from Colora
do desires to make this a party measure,
he will rind it difficult t get a following
in thi3 chamber."
Mr. Teller tatn renewej hU suggestion
tnst the Senate meet at U o'clock to-
morrow" tr any otEer eaTrTier hour. "I "dii
not care If this delay does cost 00,000 a
day. It Involves the creation of a rre.f
etandln army that wlUct UU IcEST
"""a muriona upon minions f dollars
axier we are dead and cone."
Mr. Carter then moved that when the
Senate adjourn It be until 11 o'clock to
morrow. Mr. Pettigrew interposed with
a motion to adjourn, and finally, on mo
tion of Mr. Proctor, the Senate, at 5 S3
adjourned until noon to-morrow.
THE HOUSE.
"Washington. January 14. The House
to-day postponed District of Columbia

bate closed at 2 o'clock and the bill was
reaa unaer the five minute rule for

Many amendments were offered hm
without exception all of them failed.
Mr. Grosvenor, of Ohio, and Mr.
Tongue, of Oregon, replied to the criti
cisms of Mr. Cushman. of Washington,
an the discrimination in the appropria
tions for work in the varkn s States.
Mr. Tongue said that were Caesar
alive to-day he would not have divided

gested, l.e would have left i in the
original package in its pristine integri
ty and have proclaimed to the world
that the gentleman from Washington
was not only the ' real thing." but th
"whole thing."
Mr. Sparkman, of Florida, and Mr.
Meyer, of Louisiana, also defended the
bill. After the reading had proceeded
for some time. Mr. Cushman moved to
recommit the bill to the committee. Mr.
Maddox, of Georgia, made the point of
order that the motion was not then in
order and the point was sustained.
Mr. Cushman n.oved to increase the
appropriation for Tacmna, Washington.

tion was l. st. The committee rose af

Raleigh, N. C, January l. in both
Houses to-day the rules of 1893 wer
adopted, with addition of several minor
committees. In the Senate most of th
hills introduced were private measures
relating to rtlief of sheriffs and sale ol
liquor. Mr. Gudger introduced a bill t:
provide for a national park. The Sen
ate passed a bill to establish graded
schools at Rocky Mount. The bill t
allow incorporating of companies witt
over one million dollars went over or
objection. The bill to charter tht
Whitney Reduction Company, au
thorizing capltL.1 of one million dollan
and giving company the right to build
railroads, bridges and street car lines,
passed the Senate after much discus
sion. In the House Mr. Mann presented t.
petition from citizens of Currituck ask
ing that dredging of oysters be permit
ted. Only private bills were introduced lu
the House.
Tbe bill to allow Rocky Mount to is
sue bonda for sewerage and electric
lights was passed.
The special order was the bill to In
crease the Governor's salary from J30CC
to $4000. Mr. Graham presented a
minority report, holdin-j that the Gov
ernor's term began January 1st,
though he is not sworn in until to
morrow, and therefore the increas
could not apply to Aycotk. Mr. Hayef
took the opposite ground, as die
Messrs. Sims, Rountree and McLean
Mr. Smith, of Gates, thought the alter
nate Legislature should fix the Gover
nor's salary, but if raised now the In
crease would not apply to Aycock. Mr.
Curtis, of Buncombe, also spoke against
the bill. After a long debate the bill
passed by a close shave. Ayes, D3; noes.
RELIGIONS IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Manila, Januray 14. Representative
of the Central Catholita at a meeting
here spoke on the subject of religion In
the schools, and urged the adoption ol
amendments providing for the employ
ment exclusively or principally of na
tive and Catholic teachers and for per
mitting religious teaching in the
achoolH. They argued that native teach
ers could achieve l.:-tter results than
Americans and that the public schools
would be far more s-uccessful if the pre
vailing religious customs were not dis
turbed. The commission announced that it
ould not possibly adopt these amend
ments. The commissioners are unanimous In
the belief that a great majority of the
Filipinos desire religious teaching in
h Hchools. Thev hold that the purpose
..f thi? bill for public education will be j
partially defeated unless the children or
Catholics are permitted to attend th
public school!.
