REBATE VOUCHERS GOOD.
Claim of tie Whisky Trust Under
Recent Decisions.

Peoria, ILL.,, March 22.-John S.
Stevens, attorney of the Distillers and
Cattle Feeders company, said that the
decision Of the United States circuit
court in favor of Gottschalk & Co.
for $37,112, did not affect the validity
of rebate certificates at all, because
in this case the court held there had
been no violation of the conditions
of certificates; that is the plaintiffs
had not dealt in outside goods. Mr..
Stevens said several cases had been
tried upon the validity of the condi-
tons of the rebates and rebate vouch-
ers, and in every case the courts have
held that holders Of rebates must COM
ply with the conditions upon which
they are promised, as a condition pre-
cedent to any right of recovery. In
all these cases the rebates have been
sustained.

DEBS CASE BEGUN.
Arguments Made Before the Federal
Supreme Court.

Washington, March 26.-The United
States supreme court began the hear
of arguments in the cas- Of Eugene Y.
Debs, president of the American Rail
way union, and others who participant
ed with him in the Chicago strike in
the summer of 1894. The counsel num-
bered three On the side of the defend
ants, headed by Lyman Trumbull and
including S. S. Gregory and G. =.
Darrow, Attorney General Olney, AS
sistant Attorney General Whitney
and Edwin Walker, special United
States attorney, appeared for the gov
eminent.
Debs and his associates ask for q
writ of habeas corpus retrieving them
from the sentence of imprisonment
passed upon them by Judge Woods, Of
the United States circuit court for the
northern district Of Illinois, in Deem
Der last, on the charge Of contempt in
failing to obey the injunction Of the
court requiring them to desist from in
~terfering with the transportation of
mails or passengers or freight, and al
so from preventing the employees Of
railroads from transacting their bust
ness.
The fact developed hat the main
contention of the petitioners would be
that the original bill stated no case
~cognizable in chancery and that there
fore the injunction was void and that
the persons at whom it vas aimed
were not bound to observe 1t. In sup
port OF this proposition they asserted
that the statutory authority from con-
gress to the government could main
tain no such bill and no such authori-
ty could be found unless it be in the
act of 1890, known as the Sherman
trust act. But they contended that
this act was not applicable, or If it was
applicable, that section ( of it, author
izing such proceedings, was %unconst1-
tutional because Of it's involving pro-
ceedings in chancery in such a case
hat it deprived defendants on trial
under the penal attitude of their right
of trial by jury, contrary to the sixth
amendment to the constitution.
It was 1910 when the case vas
called and on motion Of Mr.. Trumbull

THE ACT SUSTAINED.

Lansing, Mich, March 26.-The act
recently passed by the Michigan legis.
lature prohibiting the names of candi-

pass such an act is concerned.
The supreme court holds that the
law does not apply to the case Of Lod.

BETTER SIGNS.
DUN'S WEEKLY REPORT MORE
ENCOURAGING.
Condition of Trade as Seen by
Observation-Disclosures of Bank
C~learances and Failures.

New York, March pr. G.. Dun
& Company's weekly rpeort says that
indications of improvement in business
are now more distinct. The most OBJ
truSiye of them is the speculative adj
inc OIL cotton, and the one in stocks
is reliable, but others cannot be said
to reflect actual improvement in bus
mess conditions. Railroad earnings
are scarcely better, and speculation is
largely based on the expectation of a
more effective monopoly in coal and
some other products. The more valu-
able indications are that the volume
of dOmestics gain a little, and money
is in much better legitimate demand,
and the force OF hands at work gradu-
ally increases i'll some industries and
in others is restricted only by strikes,
when presumably are temporary. The
rise in wheat, which started from the
government report of wheat in far
merS' hands has been followed by a
reaction, so that the prices are lower
than they were prior to that report,
having fallen 2 IA for the week.
New York, March 23.-Bradstreet's
report says hat the improvement in
the general trade is more marked but
not generally SO conspicuous as at the
larger New England points, notably
Boston and Providence, at New York,
Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Louisville and
other centers along the Ohio River
valley to st. Louis and as far west as
Kansas City. Similar reports come
from Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
the first named announcing that
smaller quantities of 4 per cent. money
are being offered, the banks moving
steadily toward the 5 per cent basis:
the demand for loans continuing to i'm
prove and reserves being lower than
for a year past. From other cities a
better feeling is reported, based on
the recently developed strength in cot
ton, wheat and -four.

States for the week We're $952, 1895,

ECCLEsIAsTICs STIRRED UP.
The Pope's Latest Letter Considered of
Great Significance.

WASHINGTON. October IS. 49, Among
high ecclesIastics here it IS felt that the
Pope's letter to American Archbishops,
urging non-participation by Roman Cath
olics in 'promiscuous religious con-
crosses" opens up a question of more i'm
portance than the sectarian school ques-
ton, the Cahensley movement or the
other issues which have been presented
or recent years. II is said that the POpes
opposition 10 religious congresses does not
AFFECT the Roman Church alone, but has
bearing on the entire movement toward
Christian unity which began in England,
and has spread through this country. The
purpose OF the movement was 10 harmon
iZe and unity all divergent sects on non
essentials, bringing them together on the
one essential tenet OF Christianity. There
has been a division Of opinion as to
whether the Roman Catholic Church
could enter into this plan of unity. An
eminent Roman Catholic preached a Sc
ries of sermons in Washington, showing
that there was but one pan OF unity pos
sible, and that was the return of all sects
TO the Roman Catholic Church other
Roman Catholics have taken a more lib
eraI view. and this broader view found eX-
preston in the attendance OF Cardinal
Gibbons at the Congress of Religion a.
Chicago. AT that time Monsignor Satolll
was in Chicago, but took no part III lne
congress. The Cardinals papers and sub
sequent magazine articles, showing me
common grounds on which all sects might
stand, attracted much attention.
The language of the Pope's letter Is said
to leave no room for doubt as TO the po-
sition of Rome on the holding OF con-
crosses, or the broader question OF churcn
unity. as the following direct statement
makes clear: but although those pro
miscuous conventions have until this day
been tolerated with prudent silence, II
would nevertheless seem more adNlsdple
thai Catholics should hold their conven-
lions separately" 1t is said that this
statement Is so direct as not to be open
to Interpretation, and doubt is expressed
Iv a rchbishop ireland on such clear
statement from the Pope. It is believed
also that il there is any MISUNDERSTANDING

a WEST VIRGINIA COMPANY.
Producing Manganese in Cuba Trouble
With Insurgents.

Washington, d c., October Econ
sui Pulaski f. Hyatt, at Santiago de
Cuba, August %, reports that the Po-
nupo Mining Company, composed most
ly Of Pennsylvanians, organized under
the laws Of West Virginia, dispatched
their first shipload Of 600 tons Of Man
ganese ore to Philadelphia by the Nor
wegian steamer JacteTn. This COM
pany recently completed q short rail-
road to connect with the Sabanilla q
Maroto railroad, which gives them
railroad facilities to Santiago Bay, and
they now have a capacity Of 200 tons
per day and the demand for their ore
from the United States is far beyond
their ability to supply. But, after
making so prOpitious start, the COM
pany have been compelled TO shut down
by the exigencies Of war
The Spanish officers derive a tonnage
ROYALTY from these mines, which caus-
ed q body OF insurrectionits to fire upon
a train OF working men and caused
such q stampede that the company have
been unable to induce the miners to
return TO work. Notwithstanding the
insurgent General MaceO condemned
the act and promised protection.
As Manganese is a necessity in the
manufacture of steel, and we are mostly
dependent upon a foreign supply, which
comes now principally from the Black
Sea region of Europe, it is generally to
be hoped. the consul says, that these
nearby mines, controlled and operated
by American citizens, will soon be able
to resume operations.
