A BISCUIT TRUST.

Several New Orleans Merchants Indicted
 for Violating the Trust Law
 New Orleans Dec. 3.-The investiga- tion by the grand jury into charges that certain persons had combined to form trust relative to the sale of crackers, bis cults and paste has resulted in the in dictment of Frank T. Bohn, Henry J. Rolling and Edward J. Reese, comprising the commercial corporation known as the James G. Reess company, and L. ID. Fol lett, acting as manager and representa- tive of the National Cracker company, and Henry A. Taylor, acting as manager and representative of the America Bis cult company. The presentments charge them with entering into a contract on November last to engage in a combina- tion in the form of trust and conspi- racy in restraint of trade and commerce, in violation of legislative act No. 82 of 1890 forbidding such combines. All of those indicted called today at the crimi- nal court and gave bonds.
 None of them would have anything to say about the charges against them. It is said the accused will endeavor to test the constitutionality of the antitrust law Considerable interest will be taken in the cases when they come up for trial, and it is understood things will be made very warm for them when the time comes

HON. HOKE SMITHS SPEECH
He Admits That He Knew Nothing About the
 Subject Until He Entered the sH Cabinet.

Atlanta, Nov. 3.-Hon. Hoke Smith, secretary of the interior, addressed the Georgia legislature tonight on the finan- cial question. Two weeks ago Ex- Speaker Crisp spoke before the general assembly of the state in response to an invitation. Judge Crisp and Secretary Smith are recognized IS opposing candi- dates for the United States senate. A successor to Hon. John B. Gordon will be elected next November. Judge Crisp will make his race as the free silver can didate and Secretary Smith will run as the exponent of the Cleveland financial policy. There are other candidates, but they are dark horses. The real fight is between Crisp and Smith, or between the double and single standard.
 The galleries and the floor of the hall of the representatives were filled with spectators when Secretary Smith entered tonight at 8 o'clock He was introduced by Senator Osburn of Savannah.
 The secretary pictured a terrible panic as the result of going to a silver basis. If you elect a president and congress committed to the policy of the free coin age of silver, it would be six months be- fore silver legislation could be enacted. In the meantime the creditors every where would insist upon payment There would be no extension of credit, and frightful panic would ensue.
 MT. Smith advocated the repeal of the 10 per cent tax on state banks. He be- lieved 1t unconstitutional, and stated that many able lawyers with whom he Is associated in the administration also be- lleve the law is unconstitutional.
 'I don't believe that up to 1892 I knew how many grains of gold or silver there were in a dollar. I don't believe l knew what the ratio was. But since that year I have studied the question and now firmly believe in the gold standard"
 The secretary predicted that t<r next democratic national convention will put in a single gold standard plank.

PlTTsBURG CAN'T MAKE IT.

Itis estimated that over 450,000 bushels of coal have been lost on the present rise, which is almost unprecedented, consider ing the size of the shipment. The last shipment has been made on the present rise. By this morning the river will be too low for the uses of the coal men. The business will again be compelled to rest for an indefinite period as there is no rain of any consequence in sight. It was rain ing slightly at Parkersburg. but not enough to attract the notice of the river men.--Pittsburg Dispatch.
 The above indicates a loss of fully per cent of all the coal that left Pitts burg upon the recent rise. and it is said that none of 1t will get further south than Louisville. The indications are that the Ohio river will be closed by ice very shortly, leaving millions of bushels of coal in Pttsburg in great danger of the barges being destroyed by ice gorges.
