THE TRUSTS
TO TRIU UMPH
Over the Anti Trust Law, Ac-
cording to Interested
Authorities.
SAVANNAH JOBBERS SOLID
Against the Calvin LaW-the Supreme
Court Relied on to Knock
1t Out.

Savannah, March 19.-The Savannah
wholesale merchants believe that the
CALVIN antitrust law will soon be
knocked out. They anticipate that
the supreme court Will in short time
give it vicious jab over the heart
that will do more to it than Fitzsim-
mons terrible punch did to Corbett
last Wednesday. They have contended
all along that the bill was not a con-
stituslonal one, and that they have
heard with delight that the trusts are
to fight the Calvin law. They believe
it Will be killed. A Savannah iobber
stated this morning that be hoped the
law would be declared unconstitu-
tional. He liked doing business un-
der the protection of the trusts; good
profits could be made and there was
no cutting of prices.
JoBBERs WILL JOIN HANDS.
The law Will be fought in Atlanta,
but every jobber in Georgia will con-
tribute to the expense incurred. They
will fight for what they believe to be
their common good, and the best law
yers in the state will be employed. So
far as can be ascertained, no Savannah
jobbers have received any notices that
the law is to be ignored after April l.
UTTERLY UNCoNCERNED.
The American Sugar Refining COM
pany, one of the biggest of the big
trusts, has never paid much attention
to the law anyway. This concern has
gone right along letting the merchants
have sugar and giving rebates at the
end of the month. There has been
but one deviation from the old rule.
Before the passage of the antitrust
bill jobbers were required to take an
oath that during the month for which
rebates were allowed they had not
sold sugars below the contract price.
They do not have to take this oath
now. That is absolutely all the atten-
tion given the bill by the big concern.

On All Raw Cotton Imported
Into the United
States.
M'LAURIN'S AMENDMENT LOST.
The Georgia Delegation Solid, With Pos
siby One Exception-BrantIeY Hard
at Work.

Washington, March 19-Y esterday,
Mr.. McLaurin, of South Carolina, be-
fore the ways aud means committee,
introduced an amendment to the bill
providing for a tariff of 2z cents a
pound on all raw cottons imported.
Opposition to this amendment de-
velOped at once. MCMILLAN of Ten
nessee, and Wheeler of Alabama, led
the opposition. When it came to the
vote, Mcmillan and Wheeler members,
voted against the proposition. Bailey,
McLaurin, Robertson, of Louisiana,
Swanson, of Virginia, voted for it; all
but two republicans voted against it,
and the amendment failed. McLaurin
will endeavor to secure action on his
amendment by the house, and in his
efforts will receive the assistance of
Congressman Lester and Brantley,
whose constituents are particularly
interested. All of the members of the
Georgia delegation, with the possible
exception of Judge Bartlett, will sup
port the proposition. All of the South
Carolina members are for it, as are
most of the Alabamians and Virgin
ians.

OHIO DUE MONDAY.
The Excursion Steamship Will Call
at This Port on That Day.

~ l. LID L vi y O4A l. Adb A6Xs
The American line steamship Ohio,
1888 tons, which left New York on
February for cruise of the West In
dies, is due here on next Monday
morning, Brunswick being the last
stopping place en- the cruise.
The Ohio will not come into port,
but will stop off the bar. She will be
met by Mr.. H. H. Raymond, with the
tug Inca, for the purpose of landing
her passengers and exchanging mails.
The stop here is for the purpose of al
lowing the passengers to take a trip
through Florida, and it is probable
that a number will take advantage of
the opportunity and come ashore on
the Inca.
Capt. o. JOhanneson, who is the To-
cal agent for the line, has received a
large quantity of mail matter for pas
sengers on the ship.
The Ohio comes to Brunswick direct
from Vera Cruz. Capt. w. j. Boggs
is in command, and there are 124 pas
sengers on board, each of whom paid
81 900 for the trip. The amount of the
passage money indicates the financial
condition of the passengers.
The Ohio made a similar cruise last
winter, but stopped at Fernandina in
stead of Brunswick. Through the eff
forts of Mr.. Raymond the managers of
the line changed the program so as to
make Brunswick stopping place.
Among the passengers on board are
the following well known people
Hon. and Mrs. Roswell p. Flower, Mr..
and Mrs. Reginald de Koven, Mr.. and
Mrs. Fl. G. Chatfield- Taylor, Mr.. and
Mrs. FL. o. Armour, Mr.. and Mrs. F.
J. Huntington, DR.. and Mrs. j, Muir
ray Jordan, Hon. and Mrs. Samuel T.

Savannah, March 19.-The case of
Mona Reagan VS.. the Florida Central
and Peninsula railroad was decided
today in the city court. 1t was a case
where the plaintiff settled case with
defendant after she had instituted pro-
ceedlngs for damages. The conten
tiOn was OIL the part of the plaintiff,
who were practically the attorneys in
the matter, that the defendant had no
right to compromise a case without
consulting the attorneys. The attor-
neys disclaimed a compromise on their
part. The jury rendered a verdict
which gives the plaintiff $500, so per
cent. of which goes to the attorneys.

A TEXAS TORNADO.
The Lone Star State Swept by Wind
and Rain.

Dallas, March 19.-Special kilograms
received this morning state that north
ern Texas was swept by a windstorm
last night that at times developed the
proportions of Cyclone. The worst
damage reported so far occurred at
Denton, where over 1000 houses were
struck by the storm and all more or
less damaged. The storm in the VI
cinity of Denton has caused damage
to the extent of 100000. Jack Sim
mons was fatally injured in the debris
of a falling house. 1t is thought that
great damage to life and property has
been done in the territory west of
Denton.
The storm also swept over the towns
of Hutchins and Itasca, unroofing
houses and wrecking small buildings.
At Fort Worth the powerhouse of
the electrical railway was unroofed
and traffic suspended; on Harding and
BoaZ streets six or seven frame dwell
ings were blown down and BRICK
sohoOlhouse in the Ninth ward was
badly wrecked.
LEAVING THE LOWLANDs.
Minneapolis, March l9.-Rain began
falling again last night and continues
this morning. This, with large body
of snow, said to be % inches on the
level, is causing an immense flood of
water to pour into the Mississippi
river, which is still ice-bound. Re-
ports from North and South Dakota
say the same state of affairs exists
there. People living on the lowlapds
adjacent to the Red river and Jim

He Took One Load.

1t is reported of the late William
III. Vanderbilt that his father, the
commodore, did not give his son,
when a young man, much credit for
business ability. Absolute vertical
ton of this is doubtful, but a good
story is told of an incident wherein
the son proved that he, too, carried
in his head some of the astuteness
in commercial intercourse that his
father possessed. The commodore
presented him with a farm on Staten
Island, informing him that he might
live there, and to make the land
pay, as that was all he cared to con
tribute toward the lads support. A
short time later the commodore in
quired of his son how he was get
ting along.
Not very we'll, father" the
young man replied. What l need
badly is some means of improving
the earth"
well, suppose you go up to my
stables and get a load of refuse, but
mind, l shall only give you one
load"
"All right" replied the son, and
he took one load; but, to the aston
ishment of the commodore, when he
went to the stables they had been
entirely cleaned.
"How many loads did that boy of
mine cart away from here2" he in
quired of the stableman.
Zone, sir" replied that function
airy, but he carried the stuff away
in a barge, sir, "-Harper's Round

One on the student.

A Yale professor was going to expert
ment with laughing gas when he over
heard a student say that under its infiu-
ence nc one was responsible for what he
said and he would take advantage OF
this and tell the professor what he
thought of him. When the class met,
the professor quietly said he Would like,
for purposes Of illustration, to admins
ter the gas to some member, and this
student volunteered. The leather bag
was connected with his mouth. He pre-
tended to be very much excited, and be-
gan to abuse and swear at the professor,
who let him go on for awhile, but the
class roared when the professor said he
needn't be SO i~rresponsib' the gas had
not been turned on yet.
