Washington, June 2S.-There was a
large gathering Of republican senators
at the meeting of the senate finance
committee at the Arlington hotel to-
night. Most Of the time was spent in
discussing the rates to be imposed on
coal and the proposition to fix them so
that a reciprocal arrangement may be
arrived at with the Dominion of Can
ada. Nc formal conclusion was reach
ed, the committee deferring final action
until the meeting tomorrow morning.
Strong arguments were advanced by
some of those present in favor of a
rate Of 40 cents per ton on coal, the
statement being made that the western
coal fields should lind a market in
Canada for an additional 1000, 600 ons
per year, this statement being based
on reports that the new liberal ministry
of the Dominion would reduce the duty
on imports of American col to a SINH
lar amount and enter into reciprocal
arrangements with the United States.
After the meeting one of the members
Of the committee advanced the opinion
that the rate to be finally fixed would
be 61R cents per ton, but that there
would be no provision for a reciprocal
agreement.
The rates on p~ineapples were increas-
ed in packages from 6 to Z cents per
cubic foot; in bulk from Sc to s. per
1000.
The general subject of reciprocity
also came up for discussion by the re-
publican members of the committee
after the visitors had departed.

Arguments in the Tobacco Trust Indict
ment.

New York, June 2S.-Arguments were
continued today in the trial of Joseph
3. Duke, PRESIDENT: Josiah Browne.
secretary, and other officers and direc-
tors of the American Tobacco Com
pany. on the charge of conspiracy to
restrict trade. The case will probably
be given TO the jury tomorrow.
Joseph ChOate addressed the jury in
behalf Of the defendants. He said
business men We're anxious to know
whether they would be allowed to con-
duct business in the way they chose.
The question was whether, because the
defendants chose to regulate and man.
age their own business, they should be
condemned to a felOn'S cell. He claim
ed that the testimony introduced by
the prosecution failed to show that the
defendants had employed none but
honorable means in adopting governing
rules. There were two chief questions
involved in this trial. One was: Has
the owner and manufacturer Of prop
erty for sale the right to direct by
what means and on what terms those
goods sAAl be disposed of? Whether
or not he could fix the price at which
such goods may be sold or can make
special arrangements to give exclu-
sive rights to sell these goods to GER
tain persons?
Mr.. Choate read the report ofthe New
Jersey court in the case a year ago
against the American Tobacco Com
pany and asked that Judge Fitzgerald
incorporate portions of the epo in
his charge. He laid much stress on
the fact that the price of cigarettes
a been reduced since the American
Tobacco Company came into existence.
He finally reached the consignment
agreem Mt. He claimed hat it was
perfect legal; that it worked injury
to no O; ?.
Dist i Attorney Olcott spoke for
the prCE5cution. Much Of his address
was personal to Mr.. ChOate.
Judge Fitzgerald began his instruc-
tions to the jury. He a that the
trial was an exceedingly important one.
1t was an action brought by the public
at large, in the name of the people
of the ate. He would impress it upon
the minds of the jury that it was not
a civil suit in which it was sought TO
establish private rights or remedy pri-
vate wrongs Whether or not the fact
alleged in the indictment constituted
a crime was a question of law with
which they had no concern. 1t was for
them to determine whether or not the
evidence established the truth of the
allegation. He reviewed the vidence
of Robert S.. Brown, and that given by
dealer Hirsch, of Brooklyn, 10Th of
whom claimed to have been injured by
the American Tobacco Company. He
also quoted at length from state and
federal court decisions. After ruling
upon a number of requests submitted
by ounse for the defense, the judge
directed the jury 10 retire.
AT 1885 O'Clock this morning, the
jury, not having reached any decision,
by order OF the court, was locked up
| for the night.

STEWART II L f
State Treasurer Brings Suit Against
the Former Public Printers to Recover
Oyer-Charges Said tn Amount to Slo.O0o

Especial to The Messenger
Raleigh. n C. June 2s.-Ever since
Stewart Bros, of Winston. got the pub
lie printing. two years ago. there have
been complaints: but recently these as
sumed a grave character. and Ii was
openly stated that the state had been
made TO pay far more than the amount
properly due. The result is two-fold:
first. the printing is taken from Stew
art Bros, and second. they are sued to
recover the nun of their over
charges. which are said TO aggregate
over $40, 000. The treasury department
people have for a long time kept a
watch Dor them. From all Depart
ments complaints Of extortionate rates
came in. Today the state treasurer in
stituted two suits, one on the bond of
$1,000 IS public printers and the other
TO recover money which the Stewards
were paid, TO which they were not en-
titled. but for which they are not liable
on their board. The cases come up in
July here. 1t will. of course, be sem
s%ational. There will be a mass of evil
dence. Stewart Bros. are republicans
and those who bring suit are populists
and republicans.

THE HOUSE COMMITTEES.
Speaker Reed to Announce Appointments
Prior to Final Adjournment-The Cues.
ton of Recognition of the Populists.

Washington, June 28.-Speaker Reed
said today that he had the matter of
the appointment of the committees I'M
der consideration and that unless some
thing now unforeseen occurred to
change his present Inclination he would
prepare the list and submit it prior to
the final adjournment. The speaker
has had ample opportunity during the
extra session for ascertaining the wish
es and the qualifications of members
for committee assignments and, al
though the actual work of preparing
the committee list has not been begun,
the ask will probably be rendered
easier than usual by the fact that most
Of the chairmen of the important COM
mittees in the last house are members
of the present house, and the speaker
has now a personal acquaintance with
all the new members.
One of the interesting things in con-
nection with the appointment Of the
committees is the disposition to be
made Of the tWenty-One pOpuliSts. In
a written communication to the speaker
early in the session they demanded
recognition on the committees as a sep
arate party. Heretofore they a not
been recognized. Neither Speaker Reed
nor the late Speaker Crisp recognized
the party of which they are members
as entitled to separate recognition and
their assignments, as a rule, were con-
fined to unimpOrtant committees None
Of the big committees, like ways and
means, appropriations, foreign affairs
or the judiciary has had a pOpulist
member. The democrats will protest
if the populists are given recognition at
their expense.
1t is not at all likely that Speaker
Reed will see fit to change his policy
regarding the pOpulists. When Mr..
Reed comes to make up his list he will
doubtless confer with Mr.. Bailey, Of
Texas, who was selected as the can
didate for speaker by the democratic
caucus There is no intimatiOn of any
change in the craftsmanship of the
principal committees. Where the old
chairnen are members of the present
house they will, doubtless, with pos
sibly an exception or two, be a
pointed.

A Bold Bank Robbery

Omaha, Neb., June 2S.-A special to
The Bee from DeadWOOd, S. D., says:
Four masked men this morning made
q desperate attempt to rob the Butte
county bank, at Bellefourche. Enter
ing the bank with re%volvers drawn,
they ordered the customers present and
bank officials to hold up their hands.
The little hesitancy on the part of the
cashier drew a shot from the gun of
one of the robbers, which clipped off
a large portion of the cashiers right
ear and forced compliance with the
command. The safe and counters were
relieved of the cash they contained and
the robbers, mounting their horses,
rode away.
An alarm was Immediately given, and
in a few minutes a we'll mounted and
we'll armed posse was in pursuit of the
robbers. Within a few miles of town
the posse came up with the fugltlVeS
and a running fight ensued, which re-
suited in one of the robbers throwing
up his hands and surrendering. The
others, being better mounted, contin-
ued their flight, but are being closely
pursued and have few chances for es-
| cape. The dav was favorable for a
raid on the bank, as the weather was
such that it kept the t~ownspeople off
the street. The robbers had little OPP
| position and quite a start before the
alarm could be given.
AS the party started away after the
assault on the bank an unusual dis
play of firearms on their part attract
ed the attention Of A. Giles. a mer-
chant, who surmised that something
was wrong and gave an alarm. Giles

the robbers pistols, but escaped unin-

rounded. In the fight which followed

A Cry for Bread from Florida

Jacksonville, June 2S.-Urgent appeals
for aid are coming afresh from hat part
of Alachua county. which was devastated
by the great hurricane of September 29th.
The restitution appears to be greater
than at any time since the catastrophe.
Alachua county is situated in the center
Of the peninsula, midway w Jack
%sonville and Cedar Keys. A request for
help has been received from Citizens of
Trenton, in which the following state
mentS were made:
While we most gratefully acknowledge
the generous assistance received directly
after our prosperous county was almost
devastated: still the pitiful condition Of
our people inspires this earnest appeal
for help at this season. Many families
within our borders are upon the very
verge Of starvation-are now subsisting
upon dry bread with not even the hope
of getting this sort OF food when the
present scanty supply is exhausted. The
distressing cry for food is heard in al
most every quarter. and unless some
speedy relief is secured, great suffering
will be the result"
