To Rchcar the Trnnsmtssouri Case.
crat:
Last week Judge John +. Dillon who
was counsel for the Transmssouri Freight
association filed petition for a rehearine
in the action against that association. OF
course, that decision has had very de-
pressing influence on industrial affairs.
Judge Dillon says 1t is so reaching as
to he obstructive of legitimate business
methods" Nearly all contracts with rela-
ton TO trade matters more or less restrain
trade. In the absence Of specific leglsla-
tive expression, some guide or definition
with reference to their Interpretation Inust
be given by the court, so that ii may be
known what contracts are In restraint Of
trade and what are not. The distinction
heretofore has been the one furnished by
the common law namely, the reasonable
ness or unreasonableness undor all the
circumstances of each case" .-
1t is this feature OF the decision. says the
Financial Chronicle, added TO the fear that
the roads with their associations disband-
cd, would at once begin to cut rates, and
that the carrying business would be dc.
moralized. which has been such very i'm
Dortant factor in unsettling confidence
and suppressing enterprise Apparently
Mr. ]. Pierpont Morgan understood tho
railroad situation better than any one else
when he said just before he sailed that the
decision would not be followed by rate
cutting. 1t certainly up to this time has
not been, and as consequence the feelin.
prevailing as the week closes is much i'm
proved and more confident.

Austin. Texas. April l5.--There is a
large representation of Texas jobbing and
manufacturing interests and OF Texas rail-

application of the Business Mems League
81 st. Louis for the narrowing of differ
ences In carload and less than carload
rates from st. Louis to Texas points. which
occurs tomorrow. The Dallas freight bu-
reau has interviewed In the case. asking
for a broadening of these differences for
the protection of the Texas jobber and
manufacturer. claiming that the present
rates do not enable Texas interests to
compete with st. Louis except within
few miles of home. and In no case further
than about 125 miles away.
A conference was held tonight, at which
Reagan. railroad attorneys, traffic men
and the Texas jobbers were present TO con-

petition is granted and the present differ
ences in rates from st. Louis to Texas

listing differences, then the Dallas bu-
reau will ask the commission to
abrogate the prevailing system of blanket
rates on tho interstate business and sub
stitute therefor rates on II mileage basis.
forming the State into groups outlined by
the plan submitted by the intervenors.
Judge Stedman said he thought his peo
pie would be willing to withdraw the re-
quest for an abolition of the blanket rates.
and the small jobbers present stated that
they could not go with him unless he did
Judge Terry started to explain the position
of the roads, when Commissioner Farley
of the Dallas bureau said there was no
use In talking about it, his people would
insist on tho abrogation OF blanket rates.
The Dallas people retired for a confer
ence. and on returning Judge Stedman an
nounccd that they would withdraw the re-
quest to abrogate these rates. The small
iobbers then asked time to consider the
situation and retired with copy OF the

ference at 10 a. N. tomorrow on the ques-
lions involved.

TOO rmPETuous.
A Similarity Of Names Causes Estranss-
 ment.

A sameness of names has brought sadness to the heart of one Prescott young man. The Courier says it happened in this way: Walter G. Reese. of Prescott, formerly lived in Dallas, Texas, where he met and ad- mired beautiful southern girl, with whom he has since kept mp corre- spondence, until some weeks ago, ss ,ieh the welcome letters from Dallas did not arrive, and ". c. Reese has just e rned why. A Yavapai railroad an, hose name is also w. G. Reese and sho also lived in Dallas. Texas, at' one thne, went to Phoenix and got married some weeks ago, and his mar was published in the Dallas, Texas papers, after which Walter got no letters from his loved one. And that is not all With true southern imp ity she married another fellow hefars me found out that the W G. Beeses who married was not her Walter C. Reese, of Prescott. Now here is c lovely taagle that would puzzle King Solomon himself"

MT. Chamberlain, in his capacity as British Secretary of State for the Colonies, has just caused it to be known that the English Government has re- solved to release the son and the two brothers of the famous Zulu king, Cetewayo, from their captivity at St. Helena; and to restore them to their own country. Years ago they were exiled to that dismal island, where Napoleon died prisoner, on the mere suspicion of being engaged in organiz- ing revolt against British rule in Zululand. They have always pro- tested their innocence, and inasmush as their guilt has never been proven, and they have never been convicted by any court of law, their liberation is but a tardy act of justice.

IMPORTANT MINING DEAL.

Negotiations for the bonding of a group of copper claims, which have been pending for some time, were closed yesterday.

Several of the claims are fa.rty developed, showing well de- fined ledges assaying high in copper, of character desirable for smelting.
 The deal is considered enc of the most importont made in Globe district for several years. The identity of the intending purchasers has not been re- vealed. They may be the Old Dominion Copper Mining and Smelling company, or other parties of prominence in the mining field, but that is of minor i'm portance, as whoever they may be, assurance is given that they have ample means and are prepared to operate upon a large scale should the partial development of the property meet their expectations. The bonds have been forwarded to Boston for ap- proval, and upon their return will be placed in escrow.
 The deal is important in connection with those recently made, and others now pending, as evidence of the conf dence reposed by mining men md capitalists in Globe district as a field for investment. Millions of dollars are invested in Globe copper mines, and with the completion ofthe railroad this is bound to become one of the most important copper mining districts in the United States.
