IN gran,ing a temporary order restraining
the wirenal trus, from preventing a
manufacture Of wire nail machinery

attention. The Inen who are seeking to

them forty wirc.Ral machines. This ac
ton on their part diHs-ily affects the in
ters,ate commerce between the ssate Of
Indiana and the state OF Ohio and fan:
within the very letter OF the antitrust
law Of July .. 1850. There is no doubt
In my mind that such combination Is
Illegal and that It's purposes are vioiatiyt
ot suund public policy. The common
law expressly forbds the organization
OF such combinations, composed OF mum
srous corporations or firms, They are
dangerous to the peaoe and good order of
society and they arrogate to themselves
the exercise Of powers destructive of tht
right Of free composition In the markets

power and influence imperil the free and
pure administration OF justice"
The final outcome OF this case Is
looked for with Interest by manufactures
everywhere, for It IS the intention Of anti
trust manufacturers not only In thi;
state but in several others to begin pro
,sedipgs against other trusts II the decis
ON OF Judge Baier shall prove to be gooc

Hurried Construction of u Sub. Ma
rine Torpedo Boat.

rine Torpedo Boat.
ELIZABETHPORT, n, Y, Dee. 1O-Few
persons know exactly what the destination
will be of the Holland submarine torpedo
boat which Louis Nixon is rushing together
at his shipyard in Elizabethport. Few per-
sons also know what flag the craft will fly. The
United States government has not authorized
tho construction of the vessel. No other
nation has authorized its construction. No
one builds such vessel for yachting pur-
poses. Still the craft is being built in a
hurry. The frames were bent on early this
week, and 1t is probable that the boat will
be finished by Feb. of next year.
Mr.. Nixon says he does not know where
the vessel is to go nor what flag she is to
fly. The officials of the Holland submarine
boat company in this city declare that they
have nothing to say about the vessel except
that she will be sent to Washington to he eX-
hibited to members Of Congress and to the
naval authorities. 1t Is broadly intimated
that the vessel Is built in the belief that she
can be sold easily at the present
time to some foreign government, IL
not to that of the United States.
1t is also intimated that the Cuban Junta and
the agents Of Spain have their eyes on the
boat the Junta in the hope OF using the
craft to destroy the ships that chase nlibus-
ters; the Spanish agents In the hope OF Sc
curing craft to sink United States war ves-
sells, In case of war between the two nations.
It is also intimated that the United States
