Judge Gresham sustains llso
Monopoly Of thc PulIm ans.
CHICAGO, May 2.--Judge Gresham
decided to-day in the suit Of the Pull
man Palace Car Company Va. the
Wagner Company and Lake Shore
Railroad, TO enjoin them from using
their vestibule cars. In doing 90 he
says: "The defendants were not
slow In appropriating Sessions Inn
provement by operating t-ains Of cars
OF similar construction. The apDro.
pfla!Ion was so complete that the
Wagner vestibule train appears to BE-
duplicate OF the Pullman train. The
defendants did not claim to do this
under authority Of patent Of Their
own. They deliberately appropriated
every substantial feature which
was exhibited in Sessions invention
and the Pullman vestibule traire
whether patentable or nom patentable.
To say the least this was recognition
by the defendants Of the merits II
Sessions improvement"
A temporary injunction was ordered
Issued as prayed for. The Pullman
Company have granted the Wagner
Company fourteen days in which to
carry out the order Of the court.
otherwise the Wagner cars could NOT
have gone out with to-night's trains.
The decision is based on the validity
Of the Pullman patents, completely
refu'ing the claim Of the Wagners
that vestibule cars have been in use
in other countries before Pullman OBJ
tanned patents. The decision gives
the Pullman Company q monopoly Of
the manufacture Of vestibule cars Ia
this country.

New York, May 2.--The Second
National Republican Anti-Saloon Con-
ference began this morning in the
Cooper Institute. Delegates from all
the States were in attendance. Chair.
man Griffin ,sin his opening address,
said that the only way in which the
movement can be successful is tc
have the help Of others that are moi
now in the movement. Seventy
five per cent. of the Republicans" he
continued, "are opposed to saloons,
and consider it paramount question.
Fifteen per cent. care more for poll
tical- movements than the saloon
question, and only ten per cent. favor
the saloons. Only half OF one per
cent. of the Republican party are in
the liquor business, and we hope that
by the action Of the next National
Convention this element will be
eliminated from that business"
Letters of regret we're read from
Jos. r. Hawley, VIM. M. Evarts,
John Sherman and " III. Window :" iif1ddoin.
Mr.. Griffin introduced General
Thomas A. Morgan OF Rhode Island
as temporary chairman. Mr.. Morgan
made an eloquent appeal to the young
men OF the country to join in the work
of driving the influence of the saloons
from politics.
General Stewart L. Woodford then
welcomed the conference in briel
speech. He said il he had the power
he would stop the sale of liquor
altogether. II knowthat over three
fourths Of the people Of New York City
drink liquor. There are not enough
Federal bayonets in this country to
enforce the proscri ption Of liquor. Let
US then go to Chicago, declare our
opinions and work for our candi-
dates"

Excited TIN Market.

NEW YoRK, May 2.-The Metal
Exchange is greatly excited over the
tin situation to-day. The first cable
dispatch announced q decline of k2
for spot tin since the close Of the Lon
don market. An effort was made to
have the exchange closed until the
excitement subsided, but finally il
was decided that business should 60
on as usual. A committee was ap-
pointed to fix the actual value of tin
in this market, so that contracts could
be settled on that basis.
After the special committee fixed
the original margins on prices, busi-
ness went on evenly. Only nominal
bids and offers were made on sales,
and the prices, after dropping 2 cents
more, showed q tendency to settle
down to about 21 cents for near
futures, which limits the weeks
decline to about cents. although
spot has broken fully 10 cents. Since
Friday, tin has declined here in SYM
pathy with the foreign break, from
361a cents a pound to 21 cents. In
to-day's quotations no failures were
announced, although it was reported
that some operators had been seri.
ously crippled.

The House.

WASHINGTON, May 2.--The House
went into Committee Of the Whole
on the tariff bill.
Wilson, Of Minnesota, denounced
the protective system. He was op.
posed to the present tariff, because,
while it enriched a few, it prevented
an expansion of our industries, and
because it was especially unjust to the
agricultural interests. The important
question presented now was whether
the wealthy classes shall be allowed
to levy tribute upon the industrial
classes.
.McComas, Of Maryland, said the
Cleveland message aud this found
ling, now ca led the Mills bill, had q
common purpose. Both used the sur
plus as a iulcrum wherewith to apply
the free trade lever to dislodge the
protective system. Every free trader
applauded both.
Lanham, Of Texas, said in view OF
the conditions which surrounded Con.
gress, and in view of the intrepid
stand taken by the President, he
could not see how any Democrat
could afford to antagonize the general
proposition for reducing taxation.
Allen, of Massachusetts, spoke al
length in favor Of the protective
policy.
Caruth, of Kentucky, characterized
the protective tariff as most insid-
ious enemy. 1t walked in silence
and under cover. and while
it pretended to be giving the
country protection, it was in reality
stealing its substance aid destroying
its life. In conclusion he replied to
Kelley's criticism upon Kentucky and
paid an eloquent tribute to that State
The committee then rose.
