Philadelphia, Pa. xnay2Poawflts Supreme Court Passes Important Question. on PORTO RICO NOT FOREIGN COUNTRY. Tariff Duties on imports From That Island Are Illegally exacted The Constitution Follows the Flag. WuKhingtin, May 27.

Justice Brown, of the United States nm. court, today announced the decision of that court in the insular cases. The announcement of the court's opinion was at 10:27. The main opinion was handed down in the De Lima cae. ice Brown first announced the court's decision on point of Jurisdiction, holding that the court had jurisdiction.

Justice Brown sairl that whether the sugars imxrted from or into Porto Kico dutiable depends upon whether Porto Rico is a foreign country. He held that the right to acquire territory involves r'f-'ht govern and control it by congress, but he said that a country not be both fom-igu, and domes tic. The opinion vva opposed to the contention of the government. lie concluded that at the ime the duties collected Porto Bicn was a territory and not a foreign country, but territory of the United States. Justice Brown concluded as fol- chase be Apparently not VYill an act appropriating the duties i collected upon imports to and rom such country for the benefit of its government be sufficient? Apparently not.

Will nets making for its jostal service for the establishment of lighthouses, for the maintenance of quarantine stations, for erecting public buildings, have that effect? Will an act establishing a complete local government, but with the reservation of a right to collect duties upon corn- roerce. be adequate- for that purpose? None of these nor all together, will be sufficient, if the content ion nf thi government be sound, since acts embracing all these provisions have been passed in connection with Porto Rico, and it is insisted that it is still a foreign country within the moaning of the lariff laws. We are unable 1 to acquiesce in this assumption that a territory may be nt the same time I both foreign and "We are therefore of opinion that at the time these duties were lewd exacted and that the plaintiffs are entitled to recover them back. The Constitution follows the flag. "The judgment of the circuit court for the Southern district of New-York is therefore reversed and the case remanded to that court for further proceedings in consonance with this opinion." The De Lima case involved the importation of goods into the United States from Porto Rico after tTie ratification of the treaty of Paris a 'id lvfore the passage of the Porto Rico act.

De Lima Company, doing business in New York, imported from San Juan, P. during the months of June and July, 1890, certain sugars, the product of Porto Rico. Upon these sugars the collector at New York demanded and collected about $13,000 as customs duties. De Lima Comnanv sued Bidwell. the collector, as an individual, in the supreme court of the State of Nw fork, to recover back the duties thus P'1- amounting all to $13,145, al- collector exacting the payment of the duties as a condition to a de- livery of th? sugars.

On the petition of the collector the suit was removed to the circuit court of the United States for the Southern district of New Y'ork, which sustained a de murrer to the complaint both on the ground that no cause for action was stated and that the court hnd no jurisdiction. From the judgment dismissing the complaint De Lima iSr Company prosecute rror from this Powder House Not a Nuisance. Philadelphia, May 27.

The fact of the general mis i understanding of the increase wages was again illustrated, that is, if a man was obtaining $2 per day for I ten hours work and the increase of 12 Vi cent was allowed he would I receive 12.25. At the same ratio of increase for nine hours' would receive the sum of cents per day.

M. RAILROAD. Maypr Hayes Says the Reading Road ia After Property. Baltimore News. The prospects of a sale of the clty'a holdings In the Western Maryland were never brighter, according to remarks made this morning by Mayor Hayes.

"There are two parties or bodies after the road." said the Mayor, "and either is prepared to pay the city the entire indebtedness of the road to the municipality. In neither case has there been a formal offer 'out I am aware that the only question at issue Is what the purchases- of the road would get. This the City Law Department Is now engaged in ascertaining. "The Reading Railroad Is the one most desirable to acquire the Western Maryland property. The great Idea Is to have the Western Maryland preserved as an Indenendent line have made a careful study of the entire subject and consider that the property and the Interests of this city would be much better subserved with the Reading In control, for several reasons.

"In the first place, the constitutional provision in Pennsylvania prohibiting a consolidation of competing railroads would serve to operate against the Pennsylvania Railroad from absorbing the Reading and the Western Maryland. Secondly, I understand that the Morgan interests are at variance with the Pennsylvania Interests, thereby militating against a consolidation." Mayor Hayes would not say that one of the prospective bidders represented the Reading people, but his words would seem to Indicate that such was the case. As to the identity of the other tentative offer he was entirely silent. The Mayor spoke In glowing terms of his inspection of the Weste-n Maryland Rai'oad. He said he was astonished and delighted with the development of the property and added: "What is greatly needed to enhance the value of the road is a line to the coal fields and an Independent entrance into Baltimore city.

The excessive charges imposed for the use of the Pennsylvania tunnel should be avoided, and they could be by taking advantage of either of the two routes for which the road has franchises. I have no doubt that the credit of the Western Maryland would permit of the construction of an Independent entrance Into the city. The floating debt amounting to a half million dollars, which the city refused to be responsible for, has been paid off, and the present financially healthy condition of the road should enable It to borrow the money necessary. "I am firmly opposed to the city retaining such a large Interest in the Western Maryland, and am more than ever convinced that the rlty should dispone of its holdings. The Indebtedness to the city Is about $8,500,000.

and I am confident we can get every cent of this sum. A municipality should not be so largely Interested in a private railroad. We must be careful to sell only with the understanding that Ihe purchasers would agree not to manipulate te road to the disadvantage of Baltimore city, and I think this can be accomplshed." of the constitution.
