and the latter made his escape, but was
afterward captured. He admitted that
tho knife found on him, and which was
covered with blood, was his, and said: "If
i did 1t, did 1t with that knife and in self
defense"

. girl years old, were witnesses of the
row. The little girls dress was covered
with blood from Cunniff's wound.

MINISTER TO VENEZUELA.
Allan Thomas Consul at Laguayra, Re-

Washington, June l3.-The President
has appointed Allan Thomas who, since
January, 1894, has been consul az
Laguaya, to be United States minister
to Venezeula. Mr.. Thomas was appointed
consul almost without political support
or recommendation, and his selection as
minister from a number of applications is
largely due to the Presidents confidence
in his fitness, largely based upon the ac-
ceptable manner in which he performed
his consular duties. The appointment
is in line with the efforts the President
made to improve the diplomatic corps and
consular service, not only the careful Sc
lection of those entering the service, but
the promotion of those who have demon
strated fitness and disposition to be use
full at less important positions.

Deputy Marshalls Sworn in to Protect the
Local DistilIeries-Rockets Provided
for Signals in Case of Attack.
Springfield, Ill, June 13.-The decision
handed down by the Supreme Court this
morning in the Whiskey Trust case, in
which the decision of the Cook County
Court declaring the Trust illegal is
affirmed, is one of the strongest arraign-
ments .of combinations for the purpose of
concerning or controlling prices in pro-
ducts ever promulgated by any court.
The opinion is yoluminous, contain
ing 40 pages of closely written type man
uscript, and goes fully into the details of
the case Many citations are made,
among them the Chicago Gas and the
Match Trust, to which the court main
tains the Whiskey Trust kbears similari-
ty. This deduction is made from the
fact that the Chicago Gas and Diamond
Match Companies exceeded their charter
rights by engaging in lines of business
not granted in their charters. The
Whiskey Trust, the court maintains ex-
ceeded it's charter by forming combina-
tion to control prices rather than to man.
ufacture whiskey.
In speaking Of the claim made by the
appellant that the surrendering and
gathering in of stock of the different dis
tilleries purged the Trust of illegality, the
court maintains that this is false pre-
sumption. To quote: There is no
magic in the Trust certificates that can
purge the Trust scheme of its illegality ;"
The gist of the decision is contained
in the following paragraphs:
But it is urged that the defendant,
by it's charter, is authorized to purchase
and own distillery property, and that
there is no limit placed upon the amount
of property which it may thus acquire
By its certificate of organization, it is au-
thorized to engage in a general distilling
to own the property necessary for that
purpose. 1t should be remembered that
it grants of powers incorporate charters
are to be construed strictly, and what is
not given is, by implication, denied.
The defendant is authorized to own
such property as is necessary for its bust
ness and no more. It's power to acquire
and hold property is limited to that pur-
pose. In accommodating distillery proper
ties in the manner and for the purposes
shown the defendant has not only mis-
used and abused the powers granted by
it's charters, but has usurped and exer-
cised powers not conferred by, but which
are wholly foreign to that instrument
1t has thus rendered itself liable to pros
cution by the state by quo warranto,
and we are OF the opinion that upon the
facts shown by the information the judg-
ment of custer is clearly warranted. =

Seals are Fewer than Ever.

Washington, June 49, The preliminary
reports received at the Treasury Depart
mont of the United States government in
Berhlng sea show that seals are less
numerous this season than ever before. 1t
IS attributed to pelagio sealing where the
proportion OF seal skins secured to the
seals slaughtered is said TO be less than
one in ten. From the present indications
the North American Commercial com
pany which has a contract with the

be allowed to take more than the h6ini-

Chicago, June 13.-Shorty after the re-

McNulta suggested to Marshal Arnold
that additional deputies should be sworn
in and distributed among the local dis
tilleries. At noon the marshal began en-
rolling the required number of men. Dur
