Missouri's Trust Law.

The report from Missouri alleging that
the secretary of state would revoke over
II thousand charters of corporations
which have refused to make affidavits to
the effect of their non-connection with any
trust, combine or pool, was the subject Of
much comment in Chicago.
Among the charters which it was said
would be revoked were those Of the Amer
lean Packing company, the Associated
Press and the Crane Elevator company.
William Henry Smith, general manager
of the Associated press said: we have
paid no attention to the Missouri law re
lating to trusts because by no stretch Of
the Imagination could the Absolutely press
be classed with the corporations which the
law was designed to reach. The Associ-
,ated press is a co-operative organization.

Public opinion at Berlin tends to doubt
the permanency of the Brazilian republic.
The North German Gazette says: THE

to avoid measures that must forco Euro

WASHINGTON NOTES.

The public room of the interstate com merce commission, in which hearings are held, presented an animated appearance to- day. An order was issued on April 1e re-
 quiring the presence before the commission to day of representatives of twenty-six carri- CTS, most of them western roads, to answer and set forth what commission each of them pays upon the sale of passenger tickets and to whom and how this business is conducted by them. Several of the roads had filed an- swers with the commission, but the majority answered through their accredited represen~ tatives. The general trend of the testimony given was that the roads were paying com- missions in accordance with the rates estab- Ished by the Western Passenger Agents' as- sociation, and that tie roads were acting under this agreement, which was generally faithfully observed to :he betterment of the service.
 A rather sensational report upon the sub- has been made to the State department by Consul Crowell at Annoy, China. He says that while this years crop shows shrinking of 23, GOO half chests, its inferiority is fully equal to last years crop. The consul says large proportion of the Annoy oolong, is poorly cultivated, poorly picked and cured, dirty and adulterated. The Annoy commits sioner of customs called it ''stuf" which was alone wanted in America. Nearly the whole crop is marketed in the United States. It is the greed of importers and exporters that alone makes it possible to impose this vile suH upon the American public. The consul hopes that the tea drinkers of Ameri- ca may be protected against the so-called tea known as Annoy oolong and says that the existing laws against the importation of bad and adulterated teas is sufficient to do 1t If properly enforced. Most of the oolong goes to New York and honest inspection there would prevent the imposition.

AFArAL ELEVATOR TEST.

10 Show she Safety of an Elevator 1t Is Allowed to Drop sixty-Five Feet With Fatal EGect-M. c. Jones the Agent of the Elevator Firm is Killed -Others Seriously Injured.
 PRevIDENcE, R. l., May "A large crowd were in the new Swartz building at noon to- day to witness the test of the passenger ele- vator built by L. s. Graves 6 Son of Roches- ter. The superintendent of construction, A. c. Cornell, was to cut the elevator loose and let it fall the whole five stories, 65 feet to the air tight brick vault to show the entire safety of such fall. To test the insignifcance of the shock a basket of eggs and glass of water were to go down too. Mir. Cornell with MT. Jones, the manager, and the eggs and water were also accompanied by. Jacob Rosen- field, reporter of the Telegram. The eleva- tor was let go at 2:15 this afternoon and went down with awful velocity. When the agent opened the door and looked in the three men were lying on the bottom of the car with their heads cut open.
 M. c. Jones, the New England agent for the elevator firm of L. s. Graves & Go. of Rochester, belonged in Boston, where he had 8 wife. He died at the Rhode Island hospi- tai at o'clock of broken back. Everything possible was done for him by Dr. Swartz, the owner of the building, and by the hospital staff, but there was no way of averting fatal result, as Jones was a very large man and the shock of the recoil told heavily upon him. A. c. Cornell, superintendent of construc- tion, was also from Boston. He lies at the Rhode Island hospital in a comfortable con- dition and will probably survive. Rosenfeld, the reporter who fell with the car, was the lightest of the three men and was not injured internally. He has pains in his back and hemorrhages about the head. Both his eyes are blacked and his head was badly cut up. He is able to use all his limbs, how ever, and there is no fear that paralysis will intervene. James Beaton, helper, also from Boston, was the man who sawed apart the hemp cable. He wanted to make the descent in the car, but was ordered to descend on the cable after the car and fasten it to the car again. This he did in company with plumber and it was not until he could restore the hoisting line that the suffering men could he reached

The New Layout of Forbes Avenue-A
 Novel Request.
 The board of selectmen in their meeting last evening had occasion to refer to the lay out of Forbes avenue in 1787 and the min utes of the selectmen held at that time. The highway is not straight, and the present board intending to straighten it ordered a hew layout to be made of a uniform width of 66 feet. A number of the property owners appeared before the board last evening and stated that the proposed widening would cut off some valuable portions of their front yards. They were of the opinion that high way of 60 feet would be sufficient. The matter was tabled until next meeting. Town Agent Todd stated to the board that he had received a pedcliar request from one John O'Neil, a discharged patient from the Middletown In sane asylum sent there by the town authori. ties He asks that pay should be given him for the time spent-in the insane asylum. The board did not consider the request worthy ot action. Town Agent Todd was authorized to borrow &, 800 for town uses. The board adjourned at 10 o'clock.
