"MEEp" TRUST WINS.
Important Legal Decision Rendered II
Favor Of the American Tobacco Co.

Important Legal Decision Rendered In
Favor OF the American Tobacco Co. e.
TRENTON, n. j., March 19.-In the
suit brought to annul the charter OF
the American Tobacco Co. and break
up what is known as the tobacco trust,
Vice Chancellor Reed yesterday filed
an opinion dsmissing the bill and end.
ing the present litigation against the
company. In the language of the vice
chancellor the action was brought ITO
restrain the defendants from transact
ing their business and from conducting
it in a manner prejudicial to the COM
plainants and injurious to the people
of the state of New Jersey"
The bill was filed by Attorney Cen
eral Stockton on the petition OF John
R. and Frank w. Miller, jobbers in pa
per cigarettes, with whom the Ameri-
can Tobacco Co. refused to deal. ac-
cording to the allegation OF the Millers,
because they persisted in also hand
ling the admiral" cigarette, manufac'
tured by rival corporation. Vice
Chancellor Reed holds that the equity
court has no jurisdiction; that the pro-
ceedings should have been brought in
the nature of quo warranto, and that
corporations have right, when legally
formed, to deal the same as individuals,
The points raised by the complain
ants and Vice Chancellor Reeds full
views may be inferred from the follow
ing syllabus which he has attached to
the decision:
IA court of equity does not possess
the power to restrain corporation
organized under the form of law from
performing acts within its corporate
power, merely because some of the
steps taken in organizing the company
may have been irregular, or because
the purpose of the incorporators may
have been to establish monopoly.
2-Under these conditions quo war
ranto is the proper proceeding to chal-
lenge the right of the corporation to
exercise it's franchises
"a trading or manufacturing cor
poration, until it's charter is annulled
by such proceeding at law, has the
same authority as an individual trader
or manufacturer to sell or consign its
goods, to select it's selling agents and
to impose conditions as to whom they
shall sell and the terms upon which
they shall sell.
"A decree restraining the officers
and agents of corporation from ex-
ecuting corporate acts is the same as a
decree enioining the corporation itself.

HAD VERY ROUGH SHEDDING.
New York SssembIage Refuses to Adopt
Resolutions Indorsi3g tho Arbitration
Treaty with England.

"A New York >ssembIage Refuses to Adopt
Resolutions Indorsiag tho Arbitration
Treaty with England.
NEW York, March IA largely at.
tended meeting was held last evening
In Cooper Union to express approval OF
the arbitration treaty now pending in
the United States senate Mayor Strong
presided and made short speech ia
Voring the treaty. He was followed in
the same vein by Hon. Seth Low Hon.
Charles S. Fairchild then introduced
set OF resolutions approving the treaty,
Before the question on their adoption
was put, Wanhope Lynn asked to be
heard and when permission was given
him to speak he made an address that
almost set the vast audience wild. He
denounced England in scathing terms
as the builder of vessels for the Con-
federacy during the civil war; referred
to the British attempt to coerce the
Cretans into accepting Turkish rule;
said England had permitted Armenians
to be slaughtered by thousands and that
the English government had broken
every pledge and violated every treaty
1t had ever made when its interests
could in any way be benefited thereby
Mr.. Lynn then submitted set of res
olutions declaring that the Monroe
doctrine is the accepted international
law on this continent and asking the
senate to reject the treaty. Mayor
Strong refused to put Lynn's resolu-
tions toa vote. Hon. John d. Warner
then spoke in favor of the treaty.
The latter part of Mr.. Warmers ad.
dress was completely drowned by cat
calls and Kisses. After the noise had
somewhat ceased, Mr.. Low said: "We
will now vote on the resolutions offered
by the meeting. All those in favor say
aye"
A loud cry of aye was at first heard
and then Mr.. Low asked for the noes.
The cries that he heard were deafening
and completely outdid the "ayes." Not
withstanding this fact, Mr.. Low said
the "ayes" had it.
The band was then ordered to play
"My Country, 'Tis of Thee" but was
drowned out by the Kisses of the audi.
ence. At the close of the playing and
while the band was in the midst Of
Hail Columbia" the lights were sgd.
denly put out and the meeting closed.

THE WOOL SCHEDULE.
Rates Found In the Mckinley Law are
be Retained In the New Tariff Bill.

Rates Found In the Mckinley Law are to
be Retained In the New Tariff Bill.
WASHINGTON, March 12.-The McKin-
ley schedule on woods and woolens was
substantially adopted yesterday by the
republican majority of the ways and
means committee. Some important
changes were made in classification,
with view to meeting the objections
of the wool growers to the use of cheap
woods imported at carpet rates under
the Mckinley law for clothing pur-
poses. Other than these little change
was made. The new classification
takes out of the definition of woods of
Class 3, China lambs wool, Egyptian
and Morocco woods and one or two 9TH
er classes which are declared by the
growers to be available for clothing
purposes. The rates on the three
classes are the same as those of the
Mckinley law-11 cents on wool Of
Class l, which includes the merino
grades; IL cents on woods of Class 2,
which includes the English and Canada
woods, camel's hair and alpaca hair,
and 32 per cent. ad valorem on wools of
Class 3 costing 13 cents or less per
pound, and so per cent. ad valorem on
such woods costing more than 13 cents
per pound.
The paragraphs of the Mckinley law
imposing double duties on washed
wool and three times the unwashed
duty on secured wool; imposing 80 per
cent. per pound on waste, and the
rates for manufactures of wool ad-
vanced beyond the condition of scour-
ing were all readopted. The schedule
of yarns, cloths and other manufactures
was not quite completed, but it will
follow STRICTLY the McKinleu schedule

Township Trustees MisapprOpriate Funds
MAssIIlON, March 1.-THE disclosure
OF misappropriation of nearly $4,000
by the trustees of Perry township dur
ing the past six years has created gen
eral surprise. The trustees, who, ac-
according to law can command but
$1.5O per day for services, and in any
one year not IN excess of $3.50, have
been charging the township So per day
until S2933 46 has been disposed of.
This overdraft is due to the fact that
each member OF the board allowed
himself $3.50 per day for services on
the township board of health, in addi.
ton to the compensation as trustee.
