New York, Nov. 8.-The methods of
the cigarette trust were the subject
of further investigation today in the
action brought by Attorney General
Stockton of New Jersey to annul the
charter of the American Tobacco COM
pany on the grounds that it Is operat-
ing as trust contrary to the laws of
New Jersey. Commissioner Walton
Cleary of New Jersey presided at to-
days inquiry.
Joseph Park, of Park & Tillford, tes-
titled that the American Tobacco Com
pany dictated the terms of sale of Gig
arettes. The American Tobacco Com
pany would not sell its goods to Park
& Tilford II they sold other than Its
goods. Other manufacturers also for
babe the firm from selling competitors
wares. Champagne houses do this
particularly" said Mr.. Park. "They
let us have their goods at greater dis
count II we agree to keep up the price
and only sell their brands"
Leopold Miller testified that he favored
the methods of controlling cigarette
sales because the manufacturers al
lowed the retailer larger rebates when
he sold only their goods. "Competi-
ton" he said, "demoralizes and impov-
erishes the retailer, who Is not allowed

Washington, Nov. 7.-When Chair

during the day give the republicans 23O
out of 356 members of the house beyond
peradventure, while there was posi-
bility of securing q additional men,

formation leads him to believe that
there is a possibility of securing three

Illinois, one each from Iowa, Kansas,
Kentucky, Nebraska and South Carroll
ma; two more from Minnesota, two from
Ohio, two from Pennsylvania, two from
Missouri, one from Arkansas, three
from Louisiana and one from Texas. If
these claims are realized it will give the
republicans PSI members, or a majority
of 80 members.
COMPOSITION OF THE SENATE.
Reports received up to 8 o'clock to-
night indicate that the next senate will
have 40 democrats, Al republicans and
six populists, while the attitude of the
successor of Senator Harris, of Tennes-
see, is still in doubt. In this classified

gress. Louisiana sugar planters are

are hopeful Of getting Beatty, Kerloch
and Coleman seated.

of democrats in all Of the Virginia con-
gressional districts except the ninth
where James E. Walker was success
full.
The latest figures from Kansas show
that seven republican congressman are
elected and one populist, Baker, in the
Sixth district. This district is SO close
that contest is likely. The legisla-
ture will be republican on joint ballot
by about IS.
The situation of the Ashland district
Breckinridge's is unchanged. Owens,
democrat, claims 118 plurality. If Owens
Is given a certificate, Denny, the repub-
lican, will contest on the grounds of re-
fusal to register republican voters and
frauds on election day.

gress has carried the Fifth Missouri

against 728 the last presidential elec-
ton. 1t is claimed it can be proven here
that there are not 1000 voters in the

A Most Extraordinary Verdict for Amer

A Most Extraordinary Verdict for Amer
lean Principles.
Indianapolis, Nov. SIN response to
a request for an expression Of his views
regarding the result of the election,
ex-President Harrison said:
1T was the most extraordinary polit-
ical revolution the country has ever wit
messed. Wherever there was free bal
lot the vote of confidence given in 1892
to the democratic party has been recalled
and the vote of utter and final re-
pudiation substituted. The incOherence
of the democratic party was revealed
the moment power was CIV
en- it to- deal with ma.
tional affairs. The insincerity Of its
platform was exposed when be 1t enact
ed took the place of be it resolved.
"For 30 years party expediency has
been substituted for party principles,
and the expediency had as many faces
as there were congressional districts.
Every eccentric cross current of the
popular prejudice was followed as If 1t
was gulf stream. Glasses were created
and infiamed to outbreaks and disorder.
In one state the debauched currency
near to anarchism were given bed.
Property, especially the mills and fac
tories, was invested and assaulted in
one section and in another the trusts
were secretly coddled. The old demo-
cratic doctrine that favored the levymg
of customs duties to the limit Of ade-
quate revenue was abandoned. A defici-
ency to be made good by bond issues or
by internal taxes was preferred to the
incidental protection that adequate GUS
toms duties would give. The silver ques-
/ ton was dealt with in a mast vacillating
and irresponsible manner.
"A vast majority of our people be-
lieve in a protective tariff-never 80
many and never so strongly as now.
They differ as to the rate.and SCHEDULED
but not as to the principle. They belfeve
| in reciprocity as the first method of
getting foreign markets. They believe in
progressive foreign policy. The work
! ingmen voted their prejudices In 1892;
| they voted their patriotism and their
/ love of home Tuesday.
"The enormous falling off in the DEM
! ocratic vote everywhere Is not less en-
| phatic in it's meaning than the majority.
The great victory secured by the re-
] formers in New York city ought to
have been mentioned in the .Thanksgiv-
/ ing proclamation-perhap it would II

ance so much needed that there Is ade-

Berlin, Nov. SIT has come to the
knowledge Of the United States embas-
sy that the pretense that prohibition
against the landing of American. cattle
in Germany was based on sanitary rea-
sons is without foundation. It appears
that the Hamburg sanitary authorities
passed the two cargoes Of cattle in ques-
ton as healthy, and thereupon the
Prussian sanitary officers were ordered
to Hamburg, and subsequently an
nounced that the cattle were afflicted
with Texas fever. Cattle shippers
Hamburg are indignant at the action OF
the Prussian authorities, as they have
recently built four cattle steamers for
the American trade, and they have been
rendered useless by the prohibftory Or
ders recently issued.
