CAN'T RESTRAIN A TOBACCO TRUST
Decision DismissIng Bill Against 1t
Has Been Filed.

Trenton, N. j., March 12.-Chancellor
Reed this morning filed with the clerk of
the court of chancery a decision dismiss
ing the bill brought against the American
Tobacco company.
A syllabus or the opinion is as follows:
First-The court of equity does not pos
sess the power to restrain a corporation
organized under forms of law from per-
forming acts within its corporate power
merely because some steps taken in or
ganizing the corporation may have been
irregular, or because the purpose of the
incorporators may have been to establish
a monopoly.
Second-Under these conditions a quo
warranto Is not an appropriate proceed
ing to challenge the right of the corpora
ton to exercise its franchise.
Third-A trading or manufacturing cor
poration, until its charter Is annulled by
such proceedings at law, has the same
authority as an Individual trader or man.
ufacturer to sell or consign Its goods, to
select its selling agents and impose con-
ditions as to whom 1t shall sell to and
terms upon which 1t shall sell.
Fourth-The decree restraining the Off
GERS and agents of the corporation from
executing its corporate powers Is the
same as a decree enjoining the corpora
ton itself.
The suit was brought Jointly in the
name Of the attorney general and Miller
Bros, tobacco dealers, Newark, for the
purpose of restraining the tobacco trust
from conducting business in a manner
prejudicial to the compliments and in
furious to the people of New Jersey.

Secretary of State Sherman is said to be
contemplating negotiations for treaty
with the five states composing the greater
Central American Republic along the
lines of the celebrated Freylinghuysen-

the construction of the water way. This
treaty was pending when Mr.. Cleveland

About the first thing the latter did was
to withdraw the agreement between the

SPORTsMENs TOURNAMENT BEGINS
Thirty-First Annual Exposition Mt
New York.

New York, March 14.-The 31st annual
exposition of the National Sportsmen S AS
ISOLATION opened yesterday at Madison
Square Garden, and will continue for one
week. The exposition Is representative
of every branch and feature of sporting
life from the gun and the revolver to the
stuffed trophies of the chase. The special
attractions of the exposition, however,
will be the various championship contests
which are scheduled for the first three
days of this week. The first of these Is
the national revolver championship tour
nament, in which crack shots from the
western frontier, southerners who have
been handy with pistols from their child
hood days, and eastern cracks will COM
pete with each other in putting 80 bullets
into the smallest space. There is to be
a police, military and free-for-all match
together with a press match for indivld-
ual newspaper writer's. Police, national
guardsmen and naval reserve men from
Pittsburg, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Bos-
ton, this city and other points will COM
pete for the medals.
The second event of the exposition is
the national championship short range
rife shoot, for which have been entered
representatives of German, French anc
American shooting organizations and 6
large number of Individual crack shots
The rules call for 1OO-yard range; the con.
testant who gets a majority of his shots
nearest the center of rs foot ring tar
get taking the title of champion short
range rifle shot of America, an artistic
trophy and a purse of gold.
The third and last contest is nationa
indoor fiy-casting tournament, the frs
ever held in this country. The executive
committee, of which p. Cooper Hewitt
Is chairman, has held a large number OF
sessions, owing to the difficulties in max
ing rules that would govern the contest
under such peculiar conditions. They
have succeeded, however in reaching al
unanimous agreement. There are a mum
Der of entries, and as an interesting ex
pertinent the event will attract an i'm
mense number of disciples Of Izaal

is A DEATHBLow TO HIGH PRICES
Losses of Grand Opera Managers In
Chicago Have n Moral.

Chicago, March 12.-Although no figures
are forthcoming, 1t Is understood that the
losses Of Maurice Grau and his associates
by the failure of the present grand opera
season reach an aggregate unprecedented
in the history of amusement enterprises
in this country. The pronounced failure
of the opera season is rendered the more
conspicuous by the announcement that
in the face of numerous obstacles, Mr.
Damrosch not only came out even on his
recent opera season at Cincinnati, but
found himself to the good in a sum ex.
ceeding $4,000.
The failure of the Chicago season is
regarded as death blow to the excessive
figures heretofore charged for admission
1t is estimated that fully $4,000 people re-
manned away from the opera entirely dur.
ing the season rather than pay the $3.50
demanded for parquet seats, and which
was an advance of 30 per cent over the
highest prices ever charged for a Patti
appearance in this city.

ENGLAND VIEWS 1T WITH ALARM
Tariff BilI of MIR. Dingley Causes a
Wall From The Times.

London March 1.-THE Times prints this
morning nearly page of what purports to be
the new tariff schedules, and commenting ed
itorlally upon 1t, says:
A cursory perusal is enough to show that
long backward stride is being made in the
direction of the Mckinley tariff. In whatever
way the matter may be settled, 1t will in
volve serious disturbance and arrangement
of business for British exporters as well as
a corresponding loss for Americans them
selves.
Proceeding to comment on Mr. Smalley's in
tervews, the Times compares the earnest
ness of President Mckinley with the nebu-
losity of Mr.. Sherman" and says that 1t can
not understand McKinley's anxiety on the
currency, because if he looks around on Rus
sia, Japan and other countries he will see
that every nation goes its own way at its
own time in currency matters and that the
action of Russia and Japan raises formula
BILE obstacle to the realization of bimetalllsts
dreams.

ARMENIANS AGAIN IN DANGER
Renewed Outbreaks Threatening in
AnatOIia.

Constantinople, March 12.-Another
threatening feature has been added to the
situation. Renewed outbreaks are threat
ening in Anatolia. The British ambassa-
dor, Sir Philip Currie, has drawn the at
tention of the Turkish government to the
condition OF things in the district of Asia
Minor and requested that immediate steps
be taken to avert another catastrophe.
1t appears that the condition of the
Christians there is deplorable. They are
the victims Of constant oppression, out
rage and murder, and the situation at
Payas is so critical that another Sassoun
massacre is feared.
Advices received here from Erzeroum
say that large forces of Russian troops
are concentrating on the Armenian from
tier in the direction OF Sarakamich, in
the district of Kars.
