CORTELTOU TO BE PROMOTED. Rumored That the President Will Give Him a Cabinet Place. SAN FRANCISCO, May 24.-The Chronicle publishes the following: The following dispatch was received from Washington last night: Seeming ly reliable Information has been received Iiene that George B. Cortelyou, secre tary to the president, Is soon to receive substantial promotion. It is said that the president Intends to put him into the cabinet, providing matters work out as he now anticipates. In spite of ex plicit denials, the story still goes around that Postmaster-G-jnvil Smith will soon retire and this is the place which rumor says Cortelyou is to have." Secretary Cortelyou was asked re garding the dispatch but he declined to be Interviewed and would neither af firm nor deny the truth of the report. Pcwtnvater-General Smith could not be seen. Members of the presidential party, however, who had held 'conversations with Postmaster-General Smith before leaving Washington concerning his ru mored retirement from the cabinet, said there was no truth in the report and that the postmaster-general had no intention of retiring. , MOST IMPORTANT DECISION. Supreme Court Decides Coiis:l:u.ion Does Not Follow the Flag. CHICAGO, May 24. A special to the Record-Herald from Washingtjn tays: The decision of the supreme court of the United Stat?s is that the consii:u tlon does not follow the flag. This decision, the most important .hat great tribunal has jver made, will be banded down next Monday. The decis ion is In favor of the government but fcy a divided bench. There will be at least five individual opinions but some of these are concurring opinions, ex pressing the views of the writers more 'fully ar.d particularly than is done In the opinion of the majority. The court goes back to the period In which the republic was' formed and the constitution framed, and endeavors to ascertain what was the Intent the founder's of the Natiou. The opinion of the majority of the court disposes of the uniform taxation clause of the constitution which has h.'en Invoked by all the appellants In these cast's in thi following m inner: The framers of the constitution in wri:liiR that clause, had no thought of its application to territorial possessions, No such iiuts:lo:i ;is Is now presntod had arisen In their iund. The clause that "all duties. Imports and excises shall !m- uniform throughout the I'nltej States." 'he court holds, was placed !n the constitution as a result of the Jeal ousies of the states which united In forming the nation. It was inton led to nrevent any stite or combination of states securing advantage over another or others: to prevent the ports of one slate gaining Preferen.v? over those of another In the Importation of g,oJs This rule of uniformity was made pri marily for the states united, the court holds, not for territories then possessed or afterward acquired and the lOnsti- tutional requirement "s satisfied as long as all duties on Imports are uniform ly Imposed at all th? ports through out the Unitod S;at?s. The advunu-ge of this uniformity may be extended to territories and obsessions not states and not -members of the American un ion. but It Is for congress to determine under the authority of the constitution COMMENCED ITS SESSION.
