IN FAVOR OF THE TRUST.
Fight Between the National Lead Com

Fight Between the National Lead Com
pany and Naval Concern Ended.
CINCINNATI, O.-Judge Rufus B. Smith
gave judgment in case that occupied
ten weeks and has been contested with
such bitterness that the Judge regarded
the testimony of one witness as not en-
titled to belief, and that another had de-
liberately committed perjury. 1t is q
battle between the National Lead Com
pany, known as the Lead Trust, and one
of the few independent companies not
included in the National Company. The
suit was brought in August, 1891, by the
Walker Paint Company against the An
Choir White Lead Company and the Eek
stein White Lead Company for an in
junction restraining the defendants from
issuing circulars containing an analysis
of the plaintiffs paint product, showing
it is adulterated with baryles. Fifty
thousand dollars damages was also
claimed. The defendant companies be-
ing now in the National Lead Company,
it was the real defendant. The defense
was that the statement of the analysis
of the plaintiffs product in 1890 and
1889 was true. The Court in an elabor-
ate opinion found that the claim of the
defense was fully established, and dis
missed the case, dissolving the tempo
rary injunction.

NOT WITHIN THE LAW.

OLYMPIA, WAsH.-The Secretary of the
State Land Commission has been in
structed to notify the officials of the city
OF Hoquiam that the harbor lines in
front of that city will be laid at the ear
lest date practicable. In reference to
the South Bend harbor lines the COM
mission passed resolutions that after
hearing the statements of persons inter
ested and of the citizens OF South Bend
and upon examination of the United
States coast survey, State Harbor Line
Commission maps and other hydro
graphic information and upon consider
ing the opinion of the Attorney-G General
to the effect that the Legislature did not
intend to require the harbor lines to be
established in all navigable waters in
front OF incorporated cities, but only in
such navigable waters as are within a
harbor, estuary, bay or inlet, it is the
opinion of the board that the Willapa
river at South Bend is not such as was
contemplated by the Legislature. Itwas
therefore ordered by the board that no
harbor lines be established at South
Bend.

II is Impossible, Says the Judge, for a
Modern Daily to Verify Everything
That Has to be Served the Public
Hot From the Wires.
CHICAGO, ILL.-Judge Dunno has
granted the motion for a new trial in
the case Of Juliette O. Smith of Toronto,
Ont, against the Chicago Herald Com
pany, delivering an important interpre-
tation of the law of libel. The plaintiff
brought suit for damages for the publ
cation of dispatch considered to reflect
on her character. A jury found for the
plaintiff for SIS, 900 damages. In grant
ing the new trial Judge Dunno said:
"The plaintiff had the protection of
husband, an intelligent gentleman fully
cognizant no doubt of the circumstances
attending the publication of newspa-
per. He and she must have known that
news is gathered by such a paper from
multitudinous sources and from the
whole face OF the earth and published
hot from the telegraph wires. That it is
absolutely impossible for this modern en-
the times and the people expect and de-
mand and at the same time to verify every
item and explore for possible falsity in
what seems true was information COM
mon to the plaintiff, husband and all in
telligent persons" The proper course
for the plaintiff to pursue, the Court
said, was to inform the publishers of the
falsity of the article and demand repa-
ration and retraction; but without ask
ing for retraction suit was commenced
after lapse OF over two months. Con-
tinuing, Judge Dunno said: "The mod
ern daily is at once the effect and instru-
ment of progress. Its proprietors must
answer for wrong done, even without
express malice, but they are entitled to
fair treatment. When a newspaper is
led into publishing unknowingly an I'M
true statement concerning an individual
it should not only retract when the truth
is made known, but also compensate the
injured party for injury already done;
but it is equally the duty of the person
thus injured to make known the truth,
demand retraction and lessen SO far as
possible the injurious consequences of
the libelous publication. If this be done
and the paper persists in repeating the
statement, or refuses ample retraction
and reparation, then it is time for the
vindictive lightning of the law to strike.
Here party who claims to be injured
did nothing to stop the further circula-
ton of the publication. The right to
redress is not the right to vengeance.
Courts are to stand between every indi-
vidual and injustice, protecting the one,
preventing the other. 1t has been the
uninterrupted practice of courts to ex-
anime with careful scrutiny verdicts the
principal element of which is vindictive
damages and to set aside or otherwise
control the same where they are mani
testify the result of unreasoning preju-
dice, blind sympathy or wanton reck-
lessness.

BOUND AND LErT mo- DIE.

LosANeELEs, GALA sensational affair
occurred in the San Jose hills south of
Covina, little fruit town in the foot
hills Of the Sierra Madre Mountains east
OF this city, the other day. A young
Englishman was set upon by gang Of
hoodlums, beaten into state of insen-
sibility and then tied to tree in bar
rem spot and left to perish. The young
man is Robert Beauchamp, a nephew OF
the Archbishop OF York and the heir Of
the Marquis of Chumley. He finally
managed to extricate himself from his
perilous position. and succeeded in max
ing his way TO his home. He is natur-
ally very indignant at the outrage, and
will probably lay his case before British
Consul Mortimer. Young Beauchamp
belongs to the Sixth Hussars, H. M.
service, and was actively engaged in the
last Afghan and Egyptian campaigns.

THE LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.
1t Is Relieved That Sickness Has Com

1t Is Believed That Sickness Has Com
PEELED His Resignation.
LoNDoN.-Rumors are circulated that
the Right Hon. Lord Coleridge, Lord
Chief Justice of England, has rendered
his resignation to Lord Rosebery. The
rumor also took the form that the emil
nent jurist had intimated to a member
of the Cabinet that he had reluctantly
arrived at the conclusion that his long
tenure of service to his country was prac-
tically ended, and that he felt it incum-
bent upon himself to announce that the
possibility OF his resuming position on
the bench was very remote. At the Cole
ridge residence in Belgrave Square no
confirmation or denial of the report
could be obtained. 1t was admitted,
however, that for nearly a month past
the Lord Chief Justice has been confined
to his bed with serious internal disor-
der, and that for the past ten days his
condition has been SO serious that his
medical attendant, DIR. John Cavendish
Hale, has considered it necessary to call
Sir William Broadbent, an eminent spe-
cialist, into daily consultation. 1t was
also stated that, although his condition
is in a measure improved, it will be i'm
possible even under the most favorable
circumstances for the Lord Chief Justice
to leave his bed for several weeks. These
developments created sensation, as the
facts of the jurist's illness have been
concealed from the public.

the Legion OF Honor.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND.-The medal pre-
sented by the French government bear
ing the insignia of the Legion of Honor
has been presented to Jennie Creek, a
little ten-year-old girl of Afford, Black
ford county, for saving a trainload OF
Worlds Fair passengers on the Panhan-
die railroad last summer. While walk
ing along the track she discovered that
the trestle across a deep ravine was on
fire, and the Worlds Fair express with
several hundred passengers on board was
nearly due. With remarkable presence
of mind the little one tore off her red
flannel petticoat, ran down the track
until she came in sight of the approach
ing train and waved her skirt as dam
ger signal. A number of French pas
sengers were aboard the train. They
called the attention of the French
Worlds Fair Commissioner to the incl
dent, and he in turn laid it before Presi-
dent Carnot, who at once ordered a
medal of the Legion of Honor, which is
given only in recognition of acts of he
roism.

The Decision in Her Case Has Been Tel
egraphed For.
PORTLAND, OR.-United States Attor-
ney Murphy has telegraphed to Wash
ington, ID. O., for copy OF the decision
OF the Supreme Court OF the United
States in the case of the government
against the steamer Haytian Republic.
Until this arrives the effect OF the deci-
sion cannot be definitely known. The
question involved is one which has never
been brought up in the courts Of this
country before, and the decision is one
OF great Importance. The Haytian Re-
public was seized at Seattle for SNUG
Cling opium, and was released on bonds
being given in the sum of $50, 600 or
thereabouts. On her arrival here she
was again seized, the libel charging acts
OF smuggling prior to those for which
she was libeled at Seattle, The owners
Of the steamer demurred to this libel,
and claimed that any acts committed by
the steamer previous to her seizure at
Seattle must have been included or
merged in the libel placed on her there.
This view was sustained by the Court
here and by the Circuit Court of Appeals,
and the case was appealed to the SUI
preme Court OF the United States, which,
as is now understood by government Of
ticials. here, decided that the steamer
could be hbeled for any unlawful acts not
included in the Seattle libel, whether
committed before or after. The acts for
which the steamer was libeled here we're
committed before those for which she
was libeled at Seattle. OF course the
government will have to prove the facts
alleged as to the smuggling acts COM
mitted.

SAN Diego, CAL.-Count L. J. Teleky,
a young Austro-H Hungarian, who is finan-
cially interested in the scheme to estab-
lish steamship line between the Sibe7
rian port OF Vladivostock and San Diego
and San Francisco, has been in the City
for several days for the purpose of recu-
perating his health. The Count has been
living incognito here. He gave further
particulars OF the plans Of his company,
which were published some weeks ago.
THE plan to establish steamship line
between Vladivostock and American
ports has long been the desire of Sibira-
kov, the great Russian fnancier and
capitalist said Count Teleky. "He is
the Rothschild of Russia and principal
stakeholder in the Siberian Transconti-
mental railroad, which is to connect
Vladivostock and st. Petersburg, a dis
lance of 10000 miles. Three thousand
miles OF this road is at present in opera
ton across Siberia from Vladivostock,
other sections have been built between
the inland terminus and st. Petersburg,
and the whole line will be finished in
1896 according to the terms of the con-
tract. Sibirakow and Szeweloff, his
principal associates, are determined to
inaugurate the projected steamship line
to San Diego and San Francisco with as
little delay as possible. An expenditure
of $4,000, 000 at this port for docks and
warehouses is contemplated, San Diego
having been selected as the principal
port at this end of the line.

CAUSES A SENSATION IN FRANCE

Angered at the Refusal Of France to
Purchase His Latest Invention, He
Leaves the Country and Sells 1t to
Powers Composing the Dreibund.
PARIs.-La Patrie has announced that
the notorious Turpin, whose name some
time ago came prominently before the
public in connection with the invention
of the explosive known as .melenite, and
who was subsequently imprisoned, an
gered at the refusal of France to pur-
chase his latest invention, has left the
country and sold to the powers compos-
ing the dreibund the secret of the man
ufacture of terrible war machine. The
latter is said to comprise an explosive
and new proiectile, which, it is claimed,
will completely transform the art OF war
fare and the conditions under which it is
waged, rendering its possessors the mas
tiers of Europe. Turpin yielded to the
personal urgings of a foreign sovereign,
and has received several millions francs
on account. The statement that Turpin
has left the country and sold his inven-
ton to the dreibund caused a sensation.
M. Leberrisse announces his intention
to interpolate the government. M. Mer-
