DEMOCRATS ALMOST LEFT
MISTAKEIN CALL FOR CONVENTION
 DISCOVERED JUST IN TIME.

Charter Requires That Nominations Must
 be Made at Least Ten Days Before Elec-
 tion-Democratic City Convention Will
 be Held Tonight Immediately After the
 Primaries.
 Owing to a slight oversight of one of the multitudinous provisions of the vo- luminous new charter the local demo- crats have nearly forfeited their right to nominate candidates for selectmen and constables to be voted for at the election to be held December 2. The new charter requires that all party nominations shall be made at least ten days prior to an election.
 The democratic convention was called to be held Monday night next and the primaries to be held tonight. The dem- ocratic leaders, however, yesterday morning happened to think of the pro- vision of the new charter, and last night they hustled around to ar- range matters so that the New Haven democracy would not be left stranded at the December election because of the fact that it had not legally made nom nations.
 It has been accordingly arranged so that all the democratic primaries will be held to-day from to p. m. Imme- diately after the same the democratic town convention will be held in room "A Insurance building. This convention will nominate candidates for selectmen and constables, and also consider a proposition for the amendment and re- vision of the democratic party rules. It has always been customary to hold this convention several days after the cau- GUS meetings, but in order to meet with the requirements of the new charter (which provides that candidates must be nominated at least ten days before the election day) it is necessary to hold this meeting tonight.

THE PRTCE OF COFFEE.
The ArbuckIe-Woolson Fight Sends It
 Way Down.


 New York, Nov 26.-A result of the war now being waged between the Ar buckle Coffee company and the Wool son Spice company, the sales of coffee during the week now ending have been far in excess of any similar period dur ing the past year. Coffee brokers de- clared to-day that their sales had been doubled. The Woolson Spice company, which is controlled by the Havemeyers, is selling Rio No. [ at nine cents a pound. Not to be outdone, the Ar buckles have made a reduction in their prices. Coffee is now cheaper than it has been since before the war, say the old dealers, and if the fight continues there is no telling what price 1t will go to. Another reason for the low prices is to be found in the enormous quantity of green coffee now here.

MUST VACATE KIA0 CHOU
REPLY OF CHINESE GOVERNMENT
 TO DEMANDS OF GERMANY.

General Chang Koayan, Who Surrendered
 FortihcatIons to Germans Without Fir
 ing a Shot, is Reported to Have Been
 Condemned to Death by the Chinese War
 Council--strengthenin Coast.
 London, Nov. 26.-Special dispatches received here to-day from Shanghai say that Baron Won Heyking, the German minister to China, has presented to the Chinese government the demands Of Germany for the recent murder of Ger man missionaries and the destruction of German mission property.
 These demands include the discovery and execution of the murderers of the missionaries, Mes and Hennle, the pun ishment of the implicated officials, the reconstruction of the missionary build ings, the payment of an indemnity of six hundred thousand taels to the rela- tives of the victims and also the pay ment of heavy indemnity to cover the expense of the German naval expedition and the maintenance of the German force at Kiaochou bay.
 The Chinese government replied that .Kiao Chou must be vacated before the demands can be discussed. Baron Hey king refused to consent to this and a deadlock was the result, The foreign diplomats, the special dispatches fur ther announce, say that the German conditions are impossible of acceptance and they assert that they were only presented to enable Germany to retain Kiao Chou bay and to extend north- ward her hold of Chinese territory.
 It is reported that Chang Koayan, the Chinese general who was in com- mand of the Notifications at Kiao Chou bay and who surrendered to the Ger mans without firing a shot. has been condemned to death by the Chinese war council. The viceroys of Canton, Foo Choo and Ranking are trying to put the coast defenses in a proper state of repair with the view of preventing pos sible further seizures of Chinese terri tory.
 Berlin, Nov. 26-The pesistent si- lence of the government regarding the intention of Germany in Kiao Chau bay, though probably caused by the necessities of diplomatic negotiation is beginning to be regarded with con- siderable anxiety. 1t is believed that immediately prior to the occupation by Admiral von Diederich and the Ger man cruiser Division, the government notified Russia of it's intention as a friendly power and that a virtual agreement exists under which Germany may keep Kiao Chau and the bay while Russia becomes the predominant power in Corea, which is tantamount to annexation.

THE COURTS UNBIASED.

There are two essential points in the
sweeping decision handed down bv the
supreme court in the case of the United
states against the Trans Missouri
Freight association. The first is that
the so-called Sherman act-the anti
trust law Of 1S9O-is applicable to traffic
agreements made by common carriers
banded together in associa lions. The
second point. not less important, is thar
such agreements as that of the defend
ant association, tried by the test Of
the law made applicable, are Illegal.
The decision, of great interest in If
self, is sensational almost. as indicat-
ing the line of action the court is likely
to follow in still more important &C
tons of similar nature that are now
pending. The announcement of the de-
cision on Wall street was sufficient m

mon carriers. a striking commentary
on the Importance Of the findings from
the standpoint of those most likely to
be affected by the application of the
ruling.
The decision, in q measure, is a
pioneer one in federal courts. While
not exactly similar an analogous case
against the Joint Traffic association
has been pending; and. in a decision
recently handed down. the federal court
OF appeals laid down a principle which
now, in effect at least, seems to be re-
