THE SOTTO CASE.
The following is the continua. tion of the orces-examination of Mr G. E.aderson Amoriqan Consul General, in the Sotto case, yesterday afternoon..
Mr Hrution: Do you know he in the Editor of the "Philippice Republic "?-I have been so informed.
Do you know he is always advocating in that paper the in- dependence of Filipinos I do not. I have seen only two num bern of the paper.
4
Bat haven't you heard that he does? Yes, I have heard that
he deos.
And have you heard that the paper is largely read by the na. tives of the Philippine Telande? I can't say that I have.
Can
that Bay
you haven't?-No I have given the matler no attention.
you
Have you heard that in that paper the Editor denounced; and still denounces, the American employees of the Government of Philippine Islanda? I cannot Fay that I have. I have paid no attention whatever to the paper.
Has the United States any Colonies or Dop sadencies ?—No, unless unorganised territories might be referred to as such. Our Constitution makes no provision except as territory of the United Statse.
No Colonies.
Might I remind you that on the depositions that are already in, you said America has no Colonies or Dependencies.
Mr Hodgson-Heenid that
now.
Witness-I have just said
that now.
Mr Brutton:-You have quali fied it very largely,
His Worship:He says "Ican not any only unorganised territory
might be referred to as such."
Mr Brutton-Well, do you
a
say the Philippine Islands are Colony or a Dependency?—No.
Then it cannot be referred to as unorganized territory; is that so? This answer must be obvious, un- less it can be referred to na na- organised territory. Is the Philip pine Islands an unorganised ter- ritory ?-I have already testified that it ia.
Re-examined.

Mr. Hodgson then proceeded to re-examine the witness on the point of whether or not ang Acts had been passed by Congress which extended to the Philippine Islando,

Mr Bratton said he had never asked that; the ono he asked con: earned the incommoration of the Philippine Islands.

slowly drifting on to a matter that did not arise in cross- examination.
Mr Hodgson argued that Mr. Brutton had talked about Aots which concerned the question of extradition.

Sir,-It seems to me that some misapprehension has arisen as to the scope and effect of the judg ment of the Hours of Lords in the case of Scott v. Scott. It was not held that a suit for nullity could never be heard with closed doors. If it can be shown to the satisfaction of the judge that a trial in open court will reasonably detor the parties from aceking the justico which it is the primary
function of the Court to adminis-
ter, then tho suit may bo' tried in
