Moreover II was also proved, beyond "A

SPA rsu NEWSPAPER VIEWS.
They are Very Diverse on the Decree for
Cuban Autonomy.


New York, Dec. ia despatch to the
Herald from Madrid says:
Public opinion here is engrossed by
the Cuban question. There is little
else in the papers than matter relating
to the DEGREES. Some extracts from
the leaders of the principal papers will
give the best idea of the diverse points
of view whence is regarded the gov
ernment's ample redemption Of the
promises II made.
The Liberal Is entirely satisfied.
The Epocha regards it as an ex-
ample of red ruin, the breaking up OF
the law, considering that the solution
of the grave problem of c"mmerciai
autonomy can neither be accepted as
satisfactory nor can thu motives
brought forward in its defense be
looked upon as encouraging.
The Cores says the government has
kept its promises and striven for
peace.
The Impartial argues that the step
taken by the government WIS neces-
STATED by the circumstance of the
case. and to continue In the road fol-
lowed uD to the present was to ar
rive inevitably Mt the abyss.
The Correspondence says frankly:
The liberal government. taught by the
bitter experience of the last three
years. has done the sole thing posi-
BILE.
The Progresso finds that Under the
new regime Cuba has more liberty
than the rest of Spain.
The Heraldo is critical ard objects
to the long introduction and asks
when and where Spain acted with
brutality in Cuba, as the preamble
more than lnsinuates.
The pens with which the queen re-
gent signed the decree have been Civ
en- to Senior Garcia Molinas for the
authorizement of Porto Rico. Senior
Moret has also given to the same in
stitution the pen he used in drawing
the DEGREES. As to the rIlmor that
the office Of colonial minister is to be
abolished now that the colonies are au-
tonomous, 1t Is too absurd to merit
refutation. More than ever will n
be required to superntend tho
dealings between the colonies and the
mother country.

THE TRUST WILL Fight.
Live Stock Exchange to Carry its Case to
the u. $. supreme Court.

Omaha, Dec. Son behalf of the
members of the South Omaha Live
Stock exchange, the attorneys have
filed an answer in the United States
court to the suit Of the gov .Etnent of
the United States in which the gov
eminent seeks to dissolve the live stock
exchange under what is known as the
antitrust law of the United States.
The case is considered of the ut
most importance throughout the coun-
try, as ii Involves the validity of
every live stock exchange. whether its
business be that of live stock or spec
ulative stocks, and n great variety of
business establishments all over the
United States.
The answer sets out that, 1t is the
customary practice of all cities and
commercial points to form exchanges
or boards Of trade to facilitate the
making of such place trade center.
Such exchanges are formed by dealers
in stocks. bonds, grain. cotton, and
other agricultural products. live stock,
oils, mines, and almost every trade in
commodities.
The answer alleges that such assocl-
atoms do not engage in business hut
simply prescribe rules and provide fa-
cilities for the transaction of business
and each member is left free to com
pete with the other members for his
the community, The answer then sets
up the formation of the South Omaha
exchange and embodes the printed
copy Of its rules. referring to the
Union Stock Yards company and the
Omaha stock yards, the answer denies
that 1t Is public market but alleges
that 1t is n private concern: that the
cattle shipped in are placed In pens
owned by the company and remain
there until sold, and the commission
merchant selling stock has no further
control over the disposition of the
stock. The answer denies that the
stock yards afford the only available
place In the territory for the sale of
stock, and alleges that the greater nor
ton are sold by negotiations conducted
away from the yards and the ex-
change
1t is also denied that the business of
commission merchants is commerce
partaking of m interstate nature with
in the constitutional meaning. A de-
NAL is also made that persons not
members who ship stock to South
Omaha are compelled to re-ship 10
other markets. but II is alleged that
of sales. The defendants DENY
unlawful combination.
The exchange asserts its right 10
maintain organization and that II is
not compelled to deal with any member
who has been expelled for misconduct
or who is threatening to DESTROY the
exchange from personal motives. The
answer concludes with the statement
that instead of hindering or retard-
Ing the owners Of live stock in the sale
of their stock. the purpose Of the ex-
change Is to facilitate such sale and
to promote and increase the volume OF
business done at the stock yards.
