II do nst regard the Su- preme Court decision as setback, " said President Billings to-day. We did not want to Dc operating illegally. The court thinks the four gas compan- ies had no right to combine in the way they did.
 We want to quit that manner of procedure and get within the pale of the law. It is mistake to presume that the Trust is for the purpose of putting up prices. We fear the compe- tition of capital, and we combine for the purpose of cheapening production and lessening the price at which we supply customers.

James {, R|aine's Letter TO DOM PEDRO The De. lhroned Emperor of BlaziL,

STATE DEPARTAENr, WASHINGTON,
 November 21, 1889.
 Yours of the 18th inst received, and would say in reply that am not at all surprised at tho turn things have taken. If you remember tho conversation we had together at tho centennial held in Philadelphia in 1876, outlined the policy you should pursue. Tho Pan American congress was then discussed. The spirit of tho age is progressive and the people have no use for kings, queens, dukes or earls. I sec by the paper you arc invited by tho queen to visit Windsor castle; I would kindly suggest that you tell the Widow Brown to get her baggage ready to vacate, as the feeling which your subjects have manifested in such practical manner is decidedly contagious. A republic is simply the outgrovth of the enlight- ened spirit of the nineteenth century. Please convey to her majesty my most distinguished consideration. It will perhaps be necessary for you to select some furniture for your new home, and = freixhts are extraordinarily low in this country, 1t would more than pay you to try some goods of the WATER BURY FURNITURE COMPANY No 90 GRAND STREET. They have been crowded for room, but tho people have appreciated their efforts in selling relia- ble goods at the lowest possible prices. They are now about to erect a live story building on South Main street, connect ing with the present one, in order to SUD- ply their immense and increasing patron ags. Lounges, Folding Beds, Chamber Suits, Parlor Suits, Bed Lounges with Woven Wire Mattress inside, at such prices that keep them moving.
