AN ACTION TO RESTRAIN.
1t is Against the American Tobacco Com
pany Doing Business in New York.

Syracuse, N. Y, Nov. 1S.-Attorney
General Hancock today granted the ap-
plication of G. A. Wheelan & Co. of this
city for the commencement of an action
to restrain the American Tobacco COM
pany from doing business in this State
and to cancel it's certificate of authority.
The attorney general in his statement re-
views the evidence presented i'll the briefs
that 80 per cent of the cigarettes made
in the United States are the product of
the tobacco company and are sold under
an arrangement by which the wholesale
firms are called agents and are allowed
a commission for profit, and that if they
handle goods of other makes the COM
pany refuses to cOnsign more goods to
them. He says the consolidation of the
original firms and corporations or their
constituent members into one corpora
ton necessarily terminates any COMPETE
ton between them, and the sales of goods
by the aggregation having already sub
stantial control of the market upon the
condition that the purchasers shall not
handle the goods of any other firm or
corporation necessarily has tendency
to complete and continue monopoly on
the market. Evidence of this method of
transacting business would, in my judg-
ment, be competent in the New Jersey
suit to prove an original lawful combina-
i
| ton.
Such a method of transacting business
| is against public policy and would not
| receive the approval of the courts of the
State in the case of domestic corpora
ton. .'.
Why, then, should it be permitted in
a foreign corporation? Its certificate of
authority to do business in this State is
granted upon the understanding that
| business will be such as may be carried
on by company incorporated under our
| laws and in accordance with the laws and
public policy of the State. l have no
| doubt that the courts have sufficient jul
risdiction over a foreign corporation to
restrain it from transacting an illegal
| business or to cancel the certificates of
! authority granted such companies.
have no sympathy with such disposition
! on the part of private individuals or pub
| lie officials to attack the existence of cor
poratiOns because of temporary financial
| embarrassment or trivial or unintention-
al deviations from chartered powers. APP
| plicatiOns made for purposes of specula-
ton to redress private grievances or to
promote the interests of private corpora
4 tons are unworthy of consideration. |
am of the opinion that sufficient evidence
has been produced upon the hearing to
| authorize the commencement of an ac-
ton to determine whether the American
Tobacco company is not transacting its
business in the State of New York in
an unlawful manner in restrain of trade

SIGNIFICANT MOVEMENTS.
Indications That the Katy and Interna.
tional Have Patched Up Differences.

Taylor, Tex, Nov 1S.-(Special.) IF
straws show how the wind blows, there
must be coalition between the Katy
and International and Great Northern
railway companies at this place. Two
bridge gangs, numbering II men, are now
here busily engaged in repairing the round
house, which was shut down two weeks
ago. 1t is the belief of your correspond
ent and others that passenger trains will
be running into the International depot
Mt this place within the next two weeks
and the fight so long existing between
the Katy and international and Great
Northern companies will be closed. 1t
is also rumored here that after the first
of December the Katy flyer will be the
only passenger train running into Hous-
ton on the Katy road, the local trains
being discontinued. The dispatcher
Office, now located at Smithvile, will also
be moved back to Taylor.

DIVORCES IN EUROPE.
They Are Excluded From Court Presen'
tations in Some Countries.

Divorces are increasing in number at
such rate of speed on this side of the
Atlantic that, in view of the custom of
well-to-do Americans to spend portion
of their lives in European capitals, 1t may
he we'll to give few words of warning
as to which are the courts where they
will be excluded and those where they
will be welcome l am perfectly aware
that some of my fair readers may argue
that divorces secured in this country do
not concern European royalty. Nor do
they. as long as the Divorce does not
crave presentation and admission to the
royal and imperial courts of the old world.
But the moment she asks to be presented
and looks for permission to attend draw
ing rooms and other ceremonious func-
tons, her antecedents become matter
of relative Importance to the authorities
of the court which she proposes to honor
with her presence.
OF course, no one expects for an In
slant that the chamberlains at the head
of the royal and imperial households can
keep track of all the innumerable mar
riages which are legally dissolved on this
side of the Atlantic and may occasionally
permit ladies with a past to penetrate
the sacred precincts of the sovereign's
abode. But those burdened with ante
cedents of this character always run the
| risk of the disgrace of seeing an official
publication in the government gazette and
in the local press to the effect that their
presentation was cancelled.
This has happened to two New York
ladies in London. They had been duly
presented, when some busybody who hap
pened to be acquainted with the fact that
they were Divorces, communicated the
| information to the lord chamberlain, with
the result that few days later the official
gazette contained a brief paragraph from
the lord chamberlain's Office and intima-
ting that her majesty had given orders
that the presentation of Mrs. x. and Mrs
y. of New York should be cancelled
This was equivalent to the closing against
them of every door in Europe which they
might wish to enter.
Of all courts those most strict in their
exclusion of Divorces are the English
and the Austrian. There is but one ex-
ception made by Queen Victoria to this
rule, namely, the Warehouses of Bland
ford, first wife of the late Duke of MARI
borough; and there is likewise but one
exception at the court of Vienna, Count
ess Marie Festetics, the sister of the late
Duke of Hamilton, whose first husband
was the now reigning prince of Monaco.
At Berlin Divorces are Disseminated
against, although exceptions are very nu.
merous. Queen Louise of Denmark will
not tolerate them at the court of Copen.
hagen, nor Queen Regent Christina at the
court of Spain. But they are welcome
at the court of King Humbert, where
although divorce is not legally recognized
by the law of the land, there is no roya
prejudice against it.-Chicago Record.

that an officer of this court had been in
dicted in the Indian territory for that
offense and that they should enquire dill
ligently into all such matters and return
indictments where they believed there
was sufficient proof. 1t is said that sew
eral sensations will be developed.
