TOBACCO TRUSTS BUSINESS.
Its Legality to he Tested in Law
Proceedings.

Syracuse. n. Y. Aug. 2s.-The legality
Of the business being carried on by the
American Tobacco Company. everywhere
known as the tobacco trust. is to be
tested through the medium of proceedings
brought by c. A. Whelan Of this city.
Mr. Whelan is a member of the to-
bacco Jobbing firm Of c. A. Whelan &
Co. in this city At his instance a petit
ton addressed 10 Attorney General Han
cock, praying that official to institute
a suit to compel the trust to suspend
the trasaction of business in this state.
was served on the officers of the Ameri-
can Tobacco Company in New York to-
day. The papers in the case were pre-
pared by Edgar NJ. Wilson. The petition
is reinforced by affidavits showing the
methods which are observed by the trust
in the conduct Of their business, and
which. it is said, are plainly in contro-
vention of the conspiracy laws.
The petition includes a transcript of
the contract used by the trust in deal
ing with its customers, an iron bound
agreement that in case goods are fur
ished dealer by the trust goods of other
manufacturers shall be excluded from
sale. This is held to be defiance of
law. and on the strength of the evidence
therein contained it is expected the at
torney general will grant the petition.
The answer to the petition served to-
day is returnable before Attorney Cen
eral Hancock in this city on Tuesday
next.
There is little question that the American
Tobacco Company will resist these pro-
ceedlngs to the very last. The trust is one
of the richest combinations of capital in
the world. Its stock amounts to $4,000. 900
and it is held by manufacturers of ciga-
rettes whose private fortunes amount up
into the tens of millions. 1t will doubtless
be represented at the hearing in this city
on Tuesday by the ablest council. The
case is understood to embrace number of
interesting points entirely new in the dis
cussion of trusts and their rights
The attorney general of Illinois has also
instituted a similar proceeding. but in
view of the disparity of the laws in the
two states in regard to the combinations
of this kind the New York case bears a
different aspect

KUCHENG INQUIRY PROCEEDS.
Interview with the Chinese Minis
ter at the State Department..

Interview with the Chinese Minis
ter at the State Department.
Washington, Aug. 29.-Acting Secretary
Adee of the department of state had long
talk to-day with Ying Yu, the Chinese
minister. about the present condition of
the relations of the United States with
China growing out of the Kucheng mas
sacre.
The minister came to the department by
appointment at II O'Clock, accompanied by
his two interpreters, Mr.. Chung and Mr..
SEE, all attired in the silken robes of their
station. They were ushered into the di-
plomatic room where Acting Secretary
Adee and Assistant Secretary Rockhill
Joined them. Mr.. Rockhill, who speaks
Chinese, assisted in. Interpreting.
The conference lasted for an hour ana
was devoted principally to an exchange of
information cabled the state department
and the minister from Pekin. 1t was
shown conclusively by these messages that
the inquiry at Kucheng was proceeding
without interruption and that the Tsung
vi Yamen, or Chinese board of foreign af-
fairs, was giving every assistance to ia
eilitate the efforts Of the American and
British commissioners to get at the facts.
There was nothing in any of the cable
grams received to show how many arrests
had been made at Kucheng, or the number
of convictions, If any, secured.

THE MEXICAN MISSION.
Mr.. Ransom Takes the Oath-His
Health and other Matters.

Mr.. Ransom Takes the Oath-His
Health and other Matters.
Washington, Aug. 29.-Hon. Matt w.
Ransom arrived in Washington last
night, and early this morning appeared
at the state department, where he took
the oath of office before a notary pub
lie to enable him to reassume the duties
of the Mexican mission. Ransom's sus-
pended salary will be resumed from the
date of his oath.
Washington. Aug. 29.-Minister Matt w.
day or two and then go to North Caro-
lima, whence he will take his departure
for Mexico a week or ten days later
A rumor was current about the depart
ment to-day that Mr.. Ransom's physicians
had advised him not to return to Mexico,
but the minister himself stated to re-
porter that this was not true. He expect
ed. he said, to go to Mexico this time in
far better physical condition than he
was last spring. and that he would ex-
perience no ill effects from his stay there.
The story probably had it's origin in the
fact that DIR. Bray, superintendent Of
the American hospital in Mexico, who
attended the late Minister Gray in his last
Ransom, advised the state department
that Mr.. Ransom could not stand the eli
mate of that place. DIR. Bibb. surgeon
general of the Mexican Central railway,
who also attended the minister, differed
from DR.. Bray, and he told Mr.. Ransom
that if he would return to the United
States and recover his wonted health he
could then go to Mexico with as much
assurance of maintaining his health as
any one.
1t was learned to-day that when the
question of Mr.. Ransom's right to hold
the office of minister to Mexico was
raised in the treasury department he at
once forwarded his resignation to the
President, in order that the latter might
not be embarrassed. 1t is understood
that both the President and Mr.. Ran
som believed that the appointment as
minister to Mexico was not completed
until the latter accepted the position
and qualified, which was not done until
after his term as senator had expired.
The fact that Mr.. Ransom resigned the
Office disposes of all speculation regard
ing the manner of payment of his salary
from July to Aug. "a, the date of his
reappointment. 1t will not be paid at all.
