STATUS OF NEW POSSSIONS
(Continued from page 1.)
the territories wost of tho Rocky
Slountalns, "the United States govern
ment was the only one which could
impose laws upon them, and Its sover
eignty over them was complete." In
the course of bis argument In this
connection Mr, Griggs asserted that
"international law declares that tho
new sovereign may deal with tho In
habitants of conquered or ceded terri
tory and ghe them such laws as It
ees fit."
Mr. Griggs gao considerable atten
tion to the views of Thomas Jefferson
on the power of the United States to
acqulro territory. An examination of
his writings and of his whole course
of action with rcierenco to the Lou
isiana purchase, and especially with
reference to tho constitutional ques
tion, he said, shows conclusively that
Mr. Jefferson's doubt was not with ref
erence to tho power of tho United
States to acquire territory, but rathor
as to the right to annex It to nnjjnaio
It a part of tho United States. Liberal
extracts wero also made from tho an
nals of Congress to show that the onlv
doubt In the minds of members of Con
gress In connection with the acqui
sition of Louisiana was the right to
attach It and mako It a part of the
United States. Referring to tho
doubts of Jefferson, Madison and vari
ous others of their ttmo as to the
power to bring acquired territory Into
the union, Mr, Griggs said that power
had now been affirmed by the judici
ary, and he quoted numerous opinions
In support of tuo statement.
He contended also that "tho conced
c power to acquire territory by treaty
or by conquest Includes tho rlxht to
prescribe what terms the United
i States will agree to in fixing the future
status of its inhabitants," and In sup
port of this contention said:
"Tho political status of native In
dian tribes within territory acquired
by the United States by treatv has
been uniformly regarded as unnffected
b'y the cession, a long line of special
treaties with such tribes, and numer
ous acts of legislation by Congress on
the sublect of Indians and Indian
rights show that theso people have
alwavs been regarded as quasi for
eign"
Ho asserted that "tho treatv making
Kpower of the governmont lias oxerclsed
itho rUht to deal with the status of the
llnhaldtants of ceded territory In ovorv
treaty of cession from 1903 to 1808."
The status fixed, ho sold, has not
!oeen uniform, hut exceedingly vary
ing. He then proceodrd to nrgun that

Mr Griggs laid it down as n foct

In this connection ho quoted tho
elnuse In the thirteenth amendment.
Rnjlng that slavery shall not exist In

mentlng upon It, sniu:
-..e clear significance of this lan
guage is that there may bo territory

lion of tho United States which Is not
a part of tho United States, and to
which tho constitution of thp llnltn.i
States does not apply unless It 'bo ex-
pressij inaua to apply thereto, as In
mo case of slavery.
Mr. Griggs then went nt lenclli Into
the claim that the constitutional Inuso
which provides that "duties. Imposts
nnd excises shall bo uniform througn
out tho United Stntoi." prohibits Im
position of duties in tho cases before
tho court.
"That clause.' ho said, "does not ap
ply to nor govern these enses, be
cause tho term 'United States' ns there
used means only the territory com
prised within the several states of the
union nnd was Intended only for their
benefit nnd protection and not for tho
oencflt and protection of outside ter
ritory belonging to tho nation; In the
latter sense duties on Imports from
theso Islands wero uniform througn-
out tho United States, becauso they
nre uniformly Imposed at every port
in mo united States, so that there Is
no preference given to tho ports of
ono state over those of another, nor
is tnero nny inequality between the
several states created."
Tho attorney general argues for a
sharp delineation between tho rights
of the peoplo nf tho states and those
of our Immed ito territories, saying
mat an tne n itnorlty or tho United
States Is derlv .1 from the peoplo ol
tho states and not from those of the
territories; that tho peoplo of tho ter
ritories ianot share or contribute to
that authority, as they are deprived ol
tho right to elect officials, etc.
Tho purpose of tho constitutional
provision for bulforralty was that nf
insuring equall) fair treatment to nil
tho states by CongresB, and It was
known to bo ono of tho guarantees
held out to tho states to accept tho
constitution. It was not a personal
but a local guaranty, operating not 'b
prlvllego to Individuals but to states
considered as organized constituents
of the union. Hence, he arguedrea
sons for applying It to territories aro
wanting . . .
"Tho last feature of the argument
was a contention that the constitution
does not extend of Its own force over
acquired territory, and In this con
nection tho attorney general sought to
refute the doctrlno as laid down by
Chief Justice Tatiey In tho Dred Scott
case, that tho United States could not
acquire territory for any other pur
poso than to convert it Into states nf
the union, "Tho doctrine of ex pro
prlo vlgoro extension of tho constitu
tion wns never heard of," he said,
until It was invented and advocated
by Calhoun as a means of fastening
slavery upon California and New Mex
ico beyond tho power of Congress to
uisturb or abolish It. It was In con
fllct with all previous views of states
men of all parties and opposed to tho
compact In tho ordlnanco or 1787, as
well as to tho act of Congress known
as tho Missouri Compromise."
The doctrine announced In the Dred
Scott decision was, said Mr. Griggs,
not original with Chief Justice Taney,
but was originated by ohn C. Calhoun
and pronounced by nlm during ho dis
cussion of the Wilmo proviso of 1847.
This doctrine had been tncltly ig
nored and repudiated In later opinions
nnd in congressional nctlon, to say
nothing of tlo effect upon It of the
result of tho civil wnr. Indeed, said
tho attorney general, In tho language
of Professor I'omeroy, tho Dred Brott
decision had become a byword and a
hissing.
In conclusion, Mr Griggs submitted
that tho Judgments in tho lower courtB
In both cases violate no constitutional
or other right, and therefore should

Better Home for

Friends ot the Catholic Sisters at the

that the Hoard of Health will soon

commodation of these noble women.
Sometime ago the house In which the
Sisters made their home was condemn
ed us unsanitary. Since that time the
Sisters have been quartered at the nlo
detention camp. Each morning they
have to walk tp and from the receiving
station. ,.
A gentleman who has always taken
an Interest In the welfare ot the Sis
ters re.raar.ked this morning. "It Is a
Bhame that these women aro not pro
vided with a better home. They n-
celvp nothing for their work and de
vote their lives to the comforts of the
unfortunate. There are not many ot
them and a small comfortable cottago
could bo put up at the receiving station
at a very small expense. This is tho
least the government can do for them.
I know the Health Hoard funds iro
low, but I don't believe any citizen
can be found who would raise any ob
Jectlon to the expenditure ot money for
this worthy object."

Yesterday morning, n Chinaman call

a small hoy, unknown to him, had sent
a bullet from nn nlr gun into his car.
Tho leaden pellet wns removed and tl.fc

had been shot In the cheek. Dr. How

quite far and on operation was neces

was that of a Portuguese boy from the

mistaking It for a piece ot candy, stuck
tho muzzlo In his mouth. Ills slstor

sult was that Hhc bullet went on the
outside of tho teeth ot ho boy's upper
Jaw, ploughed along for a couple of
Inches and then dually lodged deep In
tho check. To get this bullet out It

The playing was hard and'very fait,
but there were no long runs around

tempted was'by the Punahous aqd thU
failed. Throughout 'the game th'ero

hurt in the beginning of the game and

and P. B. pamon. John Waterhouse,
and "Buck" Waterhouse for the Puna
hous. Several men were laid out but

The Punahous did the.besta work In
the first half and the Malle4llmas in
the second, this evenly dlvjdlng hon
ors.! At one stage ot tne game McLean
made a run tor goal and was tackle! -by
Damon ot the Punahous: The two
men rolled over and over and flRal'v
bumped Into the legs of' Deputy Sher

ntld 11 (M
Washington. Dec. IS. Representa
tive Corliss of Michigan, whose Pa
cific coble bill seems to be favorai
over that passed last session by the
Senate, today announced that he lud
secured the signatures ot ISO members
of the House agreeing to ask for' a rule
making his bill tho special order after
the holiday recess. The Corliss bill
provided for tho laying of the cable by
the War Department and the ownership
and control of the lino by the Govern-
ment Instead of granting a subsidy to
a private company as the Senate bill
contemplates. The general sentiment
of tho House seems to be In favor of the
Corliss bill, and w llli such a large pro
portion of members pledged to consldnr
it Its chances seem to be good. Itepre
sensitive Knhn, who Is devoting much
effort to securing consideration of the
bill, said tonight he believed It would
be favored and that the Senate would
eventually acceptht.
