CONTINUING ITS DEFENSE.
The Tobacco Trust Trying to JUS
tify Its Existence.

New York Dec. 11.-Thc defense of
the American Tobacco Company, which
was begun by II. V. Lindabury before
Vice, Chancellor Reed, in Jersey City YES
tcrday was continued when court opened
to-day. After occupying an hour and IL
half in endeavoring to show that the
chancery court has not power to invali.
date the charter of the company, he was
followed by Joseph II. Choate, also coun-
sci for the defense. In the course of a
speech of three hours, Mr.. Choate said:
81 desire to plant this case on the fun
damental right OF free competition
That is the doctrine on which we stand
am aware that Il great deal of abuse eX.
lists in the books against aggregations of
capital. We know that the bench of the
State has been filled with Populists
There are many judges not unmiadful of
popular applause. We are now in Il jur-
isdiction that for n century has been re-
no.yned for its impartial administration
of Justice
Mr. Choate read the fourteenth amend
ment to the federal constitution which
provides that no State shall make any
law abridging the privilege or immuni
ties of any citizen OF the United States.
In 1898 the National Cigarette and To
bacco Com pany was organized.
"This company said NIr. Choate. sis
the real complainant in this case. II is
one great competition. Its Admiral Gig
arettes are sold in every State and
county in the United States. What
money they don't expend in trying to
bring us into courts, they divide among
their stockholders. They have pursued
unfair and think felonious methods III

''They have falsely initiated Our labels.
They have maliciously assaiied us in the

rr-, 1t is our right so long ms our methods
are lawful and honest TO get as much of
the cigarette business as we can. to make
as much money as we can. That is the
object of business They cannot bring us
into court of equity to restrain us from
committing an indictable o;fense. a
court of equity cannot restrain the cXer-
else of corporate functions
MIR. Choate touched on the re- organiza-
ton of the company on January ,, 1890,
aud the terms of the company's agree
ments with jobbcrs. The property of the
original companies was purchased by the
American Tobacco Company. The job.
bers became the company's agents. Mr..
Choate continues
e'There is no statute Of New jersey
which limits the numbers of factories n
corporation may buy. There is no law of
New Jersey forbidding the American To-
bacco Company to purchase all the to-
bacco factories in the United States.
"IIaving acquired the business they
proceed to deal with tobacco as they had
a right They commenced business in
March, 1890. They made an agreement
with the jobbcrs
"Thcre are 5000 jobbers in the United

Probable That the vsneTuelan Tr"ae's
WIN rs Arbitrafed.

washington, Jan. 1S.--The statement
from London that the English nying
squadron was not intended for Amer
lean waters was received with visible
relief in naval circles, but in the state
department it was anticipated, snd II
Is surmised that Ambassador BayaIu
had already communicated directly
with the department on the subject
and given satisfactory assurances as
to the intentions OF the British gov
ernment
The impression Is strengthened that
the Venezuelan matter is soon TO be
settled. or rather. put in the way OF
settlement for the execution OF the de-
tails of the project win occupy some
timel, In the course OF few weeks or
months at furtbermost. The plan Is
likely TO take the shape OF double
arbitration. and In this respect IL will
parallel the Behring sea arbitration.
First will come an arbitration Of ths
title of Ian6s lying west OF the schoui.
brugk line. To an extent this win be
a concession to the British position.
which has been one OF constant readi.
ness to arhitrate this territory, but Il
will be a concession In part only, for
there will be a provision that II Il
shall appear in the course OF the inyez-
tigation OF the arbitrators that there
is reason 10 doubt the sutiieiency Of
the British title to any Of the lands ly-
ing 10 the east OF the Schomburgk
line, then this fact shall be- reported
to the British and Venezuelan gov.
ernments, and shall constitute a sufti-
Client ground for another arbitration
This would parallel the course Of the
United States and British governments
In the Bering sea arbitration. wherein
the original arbitratorS passed upon
the question OF damages sustained by
the ships OF the power who was found
to be in the right. but left to another
commission the method of adjusting
these claims.
II is pointed out here thar, by the
adoption Of such course. the British
government would avoid any direct
recognition Of the obnoxious Monroe
doctrine as construed by Secretary OF.
ney, the line Of precedent would be FOL,
lowed and the United States would
still achieve It's object, namely, n Judi.
