RIPARIAN RIGHTS CASE
SITRLMU COLItT DECISION IN FA-
VOR OF THE GOVERN 3IENT.
Porto Rico and Philippine Cases, In.Tolvin Important Points, Not to
lie ArKaed Until Dec. 17.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 11 In the UnitedStates Supreme Court to-d- ay Justice Har-lan rendered the opinion of the court inthe case of GUmore ß. Scanton versus EbenS. Wheeler, coming to the court on writ oferror from the Supreme Court of the Stateof Michigan. The case involved the ripar-ian rights of owners on navigable streamsto damages for the loss of accessibility tosuch streams caused by government im-
provements made for the purpose of im-
proving navigation. A pier erected at St.Mary's Falls, Mich., cut off Scranton's ac-
cess to the river. The Michigan court de-
cided against Scranton and to-da- y's opin-ion confirmed that decision. In deliveringthe opinion Justice Harlan said:
"The vital question is whether the con-
stitutional inhibition on the taking cfprivate property for public use withoutjust compensation is applicable. Of courseevery part of the Constitution is bindingon Congress as on the people. The guar-antees prescribed by it for the security ofprivate property must be respected by all.But whether navigation upon waters overwhich Congress may exert Its authority re-
quires improvement at all or Improvementin a particular way, are matters whollywithin Its discretion; and the Judiciary Iswithout power to control or defeat the willof Congress so long as that branch of thagovernment does not trascend the limitsestablished by the supreme law of theland."
The opinion held that the broad powerwith which Congress is invested is notburdened with the condition that a riparianowner whose land borders upon a naviga-ble water of the United States shall becompensated for his right of access to thonavigable part of such river whenever suchright ceases to be of value solely In conse-quence of the improvement of navigationby piers that rest upon submerged landsaway from the shore line. "The primaryuse of the waters and tho lands underthem," says the opinion, "is for purposesof navigation, and the erection of piers inthem to improve navigation for the publici? entirely consistent with such use andinfringes no right of the riparian owner.In our pplnlon it was not Intended by theframers of the Constitution that tho para-mount authority of Congress to Improvethe navigation of the public navigablewaters of the United States should becrippled by compelling the government tomake compensation for the injury thatmight indirectly result from an improve-ment to riparian owners' right of access tonavigability." A dissenting opinion was de-livered by Justice Shiras and concurred inby Justices Gray and Beckham.
The Supreme Court to-da- y postponedthe argument in what are known as thePorto Rico and Philippine cases until Dec.17. The cases are entitled In one Instance"J. H. Goetze vs. The United States."which involves the right to collect dutyon goods imported from Porto Rico intothe United States after the peace treatywith Spain went into effect, and "FourteenDiamond Rings vs. The United States."In this latter case Emil I'. J. Pepke, aUnited States soldier, is the claimant ofthe rings and he is accused of smugglingthem into the United States from the Phil-ippine islands. The postponement wasmade at the instance of Attorney GeneralGriggs, and the object of it is to haveother Involving cognate questions nowpending in tho United States CircuitCourts argued in the Supreme Court, to-gether with these two cases. In theirbroader significance these cases Involvethe question whether Porto Rico and thePhilippines are part of the United States,and as such entitled to free commercialIntercourse with It.
Chief Justice Fuller to-d- ay announcedthe refusal of the Supreme Court to reviewthe proceedings of the provisional courtestablished by Governor General Davis inPorto Rico in the case of Jose Juan Vldaland others by which they were O'.'.stedfrom the municipal offices of the town ofGuayama in that Island. Tho refusal wasbased upon the ground that the court Isnot empowered to review the proceedingsof a military tribunal by certiorari.
Announcement was made to-d- ay that theSupreme Court would take a recess of afortnight from next Monday.

HEXRY VILLARD.
Former Financier and Railway Masnnte Die at His Summer Home.
NEW YORK, Nov. 12. Henry Villard. thefinancier, died early this morning at hissummer home, Thorwood Park, near DobboFerry. The cause of death was apoplexy,from which he had been a sufferer for sev-
eral weeks. Mr. Villard had beenunconscious nearly all the time sincelast Tuesday. When death came there weregathered around the bed: Mr. Vlllard'swife, who was a daughter of WilliamLloyd Garrison; his sons, Oswald G. andHarcld G.; Mrs. William Lloyd Garrison,of Boston, his sister-in-la- w, and Mr. Vil-lard'- n
only daughter, Mrs. James W. Beil,of Dresden, Germany. In addition to thefamily Mr. Villard leaves a sister, Mrs.Emma Von Xylander, wife of General Rob-
ert Von Xylander, of the Bavarian army.Mr. Villard had resided in Dobbs Ferrydurir.g the summer months for the patteighteen years.
It has been arranged that the funeral-wil- l
take place from the residence onWednesday afternoon at 3:13 o'clock, whenthe services will be conducted by the Rev.Theodcre C. Williams, of Tarrytown. TheInterment will be In the family plot InSleepy Hollow cemetery, where repose theremains of his youngest son llilgard, whodied tv her five years old and who drove thegolden spike completing the Northern Pa-cific Railroad, of which his father waspresident.
Thorwood, the name of Mr. Vlllard'scountry home at Dobbs Ferry, Is a masMveand handsome villa of stone and brick,surrounded with spacious verandas. Assoon as Mr. Vlllard's death became knowntelegrams of condolence began to arrive-a- t
the house. It had been the intention ofthe Vfllard family to return to their New-Yor-
city home' about the middle of Octo-ber, but the health of Mr. Villard was oprecarious that his physicians persuadedhim to remain in the country until heshould become stronger.
Harold Villard stated that a teport hadbeen circulated that his father had dhVIfrom the effects of a cancer In his throat.This statement, he said, was erroneous.
Mr. Vlllard's death was caused by apo-plexy alone, and he had never had a cancerin his throat or other serious throattrouble.
Henry Villard (Heinrich Hllgard was hisoriginal name) was born in Speyer, the cap-
ital of Rhenish Bavaria, on April 1. 1827.
His great uncle, Theodor, father of Jullu3Hllgard, who became superintendent ofthe United States coast survey, led a mi-
gration of the family connection to Belle-ville, HI., in 1S35. His father, Gustav, wasin the Judicial service of the Bavarian gov-
ernment and ended Judge of the SupremeCourt at Munich.
Young Hllgard was educated at schoolsin Zwelbrucken, Phalzbourg and Speyer,but in October, 1SC3. broke off his universitystudies and set out for the United States,intending to Join the colony of his rela-tives at Belleville. Ills father's oppositionto this step made him borrow the surnameof a French schoolmate at Phalzbourg, andhe became Henry Villard.
Arriving at Belleville, he became a news-paper reporter and continued in the pro-fession until 1SCS. During these years heserved as a legislative correspondent InIndiana and Illinois, a political reporter,reporting the Lincoln-Dougla- s debates, theChicago convention which nominated Lin-coln, the Lincoln campaign and later wasa war correspondent and a European cor-respondent. The papers he served in thisperiod were the Cincinnitl Commercial, theNew York Herald, the Chicago Tribuneand the New York Tribune, and part of.the time he was at the head of newsbureaus at Washington. Early in 1S81 Mr.Villard acquired the New York EveningPost and the Nation.
In January, 1SCG, in Boston, he marriedFannie, the only daughter of William LloydGarrison. In 1S68 he was chosen secretaryot .the newly founded American SocialScience Society, having its headquarters inthat city, and did not finally relinquishthe post until 1S78.
It was in the latter year, while on avisit to Europe. Mr. Villard began his rail-road career. He formed a connection withFrankfort and Berlin bankers, and in 1873
returned to the United States, buying forthe German bondholders the property oftho Oregon & California Railroad Com-pany and the Oregon Steamship Company,being made president in 1S75. He actedas one of the receivers of the KansasPacific Railroad Company and later boughtup the bonds of the road. He became in-
terested in the Oregon Steam NavigationCompany and the Oregon Railway andNavigation Company, of which he was apresident and then formed the Oregon &Transcontinental, to which 'he merged thetwo other companies to a so-call- ed blindpool to the Northern Pacific, being chosenpresident of the latter company.
A few years later the companies In whichhe was interested became so involved thatthere was a .collapse. In which Mr. Villardsuffered heavily. Returning to Germanyhe formed new financial relations, whichenabled him to repair his fortune, and.coming back to this country, he startedin once more as a capitalist. In 1S90 hepurchased from Thomas Edison his elec-trical manufacturing interests, and withthe Edison Lamp Company of Newark,N. J., and the Edison works at Schenec-tady, N. Y., as a basis, organized the EdiHon General Electric Company, of whichhe became president, serving in that ca-pacity for about two years. In October,l&SH. he became chairman of the NorthernPacific board of directors, but the panicof 1S03 again occasioned the loss of mostof his fortune and led to his withdrawalfrom railroad management.

BETTER THAN IN CUBA
POSTAL. SEHVICI2 IN THE I'll I LI I.FIXES IS WELL CONDUCTED.
Report of Special Accent Erivln, "Who"Was Sent to the Archipelago to
Make nn Investigation.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12. Special AgentJ. TV. Erwin, of the Postofflce Department,who has Just returned from an investiga-tion of the postal sen-ic- e in the Philippines,has reported to the postmaster general thatthe affairs of the department of posts thereare in a most satisfactory condition, partic-ularly as regards finances. The reportsays that Director General Vallle person-ally receives all stamped paper sent to thedepartment of posts, and counts it in thepresence of two witnesses. In addition tothe regular ledger account kept by thecashier, Mr. Vallle keeps a private accountof the receipts and issues of stampedpaper. This is a perfect check onthe cashier's account and enables himat any moment to know for himself thecondition of his postal accounts. No onehas access to the principal stock ofstamped paper but the director general.Mr. Erwin says the system of accountskept by the cashier is entirely satisfactory,the books being well kept and posted dally.The director general exercises a carefulpersonal supervision of the accounts of allthe o'ces and stations throughout thearchipelago and has inaugurated a systemof Inspections to meet all requirements.What impressed the inspector most, hesays, was the simplicity of the methodsadopted and the conservative character ofthe superviplon.
It has not been deemed necessary to or-ganize numerous bureaus and the work ofthe department has been arranged so as tofrecure the best results with the least ex-penditure of money. There were 205 na-tives. Filipinos and Spanish, on the payroll of the portal and telegraph serviceIn Manila at the time of the military oc-
cupation. The entlro service in the arch-ipelago now employs only fifty-eig- ht Amer-icans and fifty-fiv- e natives, exclusive ofthe soldiers detailed at military stations,where the work is Wholly performed bythe military forces. The services of thenatives aro reported satlsfactorj-- .
The inspector reports that the salary al-
lowances are moderate, not greater thanwould be paid in the United States, al-though, the cost of living is greater in thePhilippines. He says there is nothing to at-tract people after the novelty has wornoff, and better allowances may haveto be made. The postal serviceIn the Philippines is absolutely de-pendent for transportation of mailson the military service, and the re-port says that while the military forcesfavor active along the line,this is not secured sufficiently to Insuregood service. The report says under present conditions It is not advisable to in-crease the number of postofllces, there be-ing now twenty-on-e postofllces and forty-seve- n
stations.

The upper galleries were crowded, col-ored persons predominating. They are takingan Intense lnterestln the proceedings. Ontl.efirst and second days the bores did ncontain many spectators, but to-d- ay severalprominent families were represented. Thecommittee on credentials reported as to allthe provinces except Havana. The reportsaid that, although many mistakes hadbeen made, there was no reason to throwout votes or unseat d legates, and that,where names had been written on a ballotwhich was not marked with the cross as inthe case of the province of I'inar dd Itio,the votes should be counted. The commit-tee, however, reported that no linal de-cision could be reached as to Havanaprovince until Wednesday.
Havana Is the only province where acontent has been talked of. the opponentsof Senor Zavas wishing to seat SennrPurra in his place. The report was laidon thd table and a discussion followed isto whether the convention was legallyconstituted. Senor Zavas claimed that thiorder of the government of interventionsummoning the convention had made itlegal. Senor I3errlel argued, on" the otherhand, that it would not be legally con-stituted until the report of the committeeon credentials had been accepted. Th-- i
delegates took this view, and so voted.An attempt to discuss the question ofholding secret sesfclons was voied down,the matter btlng left to the committeeon rules. An adjournment was then taken
