CHICAGO, June l4-By decision rem.

Springfield the charter OF the Distilling

gal existence OF the corporation is ended.
The decision sustains the judgment of the
circuit court of Cook county, and amounts
to substantial victory for Attorney GEN

ion was written by Justice Bailey. and
has the unanimous approval of his asso-

and emphatic condemnation of trusts,

FIRST Owners Get Out Their Clubs.
But in the background stand the first
owners of the distilleries, with clubs in
their hands ready and anxious to get
chance at their old properties. The form.
or owners of the distilieries are the people
who are expected to make trouble. For
weeks past they have been expecting the
decision. The supreme court having de-
clared the charter of the whisky trust
void, the original owners claim that the
distilleries revert to them, and to that
end are warning. Marshal Arnold had

MoLoNEY STILL AFTER PULLMAN.
Believes He VIII Down the Magnate in
the Supreme Court.

the supreme Court.
General Moloney in discussing the deci-
sion of the supreme court in the whisky
trust case said: at is plain also from
the language used by the supreme court
in this case that the Pullman Palace Car
company will meet with the same fate at
the hands of this court that the whisky
trust met with. The supreme court has
expressly decided that corporations or
ganized under the laws of this state have
only such express powers as are granted
to Them and that their powers must be
strictly construed and all that is not
given to :hem III express language is de-
MED"
The words of the supreme court are:
at should be remembered that grants of
powers in corporate charters are to be
construed strictly, and that what is not
clearly given is by implication denied.
The defendant is authorized to own such
property as is necessary for carrying ON
its dstillery business and no more. Its
power to acquire and hold property is
limited 10 that purpose"
This language, it is claimed, clearly
sounds tho death.kne of the Pullman
corporation when it reaches the supreme
court. 1t is what the attorney general
has always claimed the law TO be, and
Judge Gibbons in the whisky trust case
agreed With him, but the circuit judge in
the Pullma, 20 differed from both as
we'll as from the supreme court.

SCARCITY OF SEALS.
Report of the Commander OF the Cutter
Fleet in Bering sea.


Fleet in Bering sea.
WASHINGTON, June 10 Captain Hoop
er, in command of the cutter fleet in
Bering sea, has reported to the treasury
department that observations south Of
Unalaska convince him that the seal
herds moving north are far less numer-
Gus than formerly. This scarcity, it is
believed, is entirely due to the indiscrim'
mate slaughter of the last two or three
years. While patrolling the waters OF
the north Pacific Captain Hooper has
boarded and searched number Of seal
ers, both Canadian and American, but
there was no evidence of unlawful killing
and hence they were allowed to proceed.
In case Captain Hooper's observations
in the open sea hold good at the islands
it is very probable that the maximum
catch of the North American Commercial
company will be materially reduced even
from last year, when it reached only
about Ii 900 skins.
