GOVERNMENT LOSES TWO SUITS.


CHANGES DECLARED TO RE LEGAL
Washington. Oct 2-Two other opinions relating
to the Antitrust Law handed down to-day by
Justice Peckham. In the OF the United States
against Henry Hopkins and others. the Govern
rnent sought 10 restrain the Kansas City Livestock
Exchange from carrying on it's business. the
ground that II was An association In restraint OF
trade and therefore Illegal under the Antitrust Law.
The association Is carried the Kansas CITY
Stockyards partly In Kansas and partly in Mis-
souri, It's members receive shipments Of cattle
Kansas and the Territories. selling them to the
big packing houses. particularly In Chicago. St.
Louis and New-York. The lower Court ruled
against the Exchange, on the ground that II was
a combination restraint OF trade Justice Peck
hams opinion. in which all the members OF the
court except Justice Harlan concurred. reverses
the lower Cour, and uphods the legality OF the
association. The opinion says that the Kansas City
Exchange Is merely local aid 10 interstate ship
ments and that Il cannot be considered inter
state association.
A similar ruling made in the OF the
United States against J. G. Anderson and others,
involving the Kansas city association known as the
Traders Livestock Exchange. In this case. also.
the Court upholds the association. the ground
that It is purely local and engaged in interstate
traffic within the meaning Of the Antitrust law.
Justice Harlan announced his dissent from the
opinion Of the Court In these two cases. After
quoting the Antitrust law, he said he could not
resist the conclusion that Kansas City there

In conclusion, the opinion says:

II is not only possible. but probable. that good
and integrity of purpose would prevail among
the managers. and while making no agreement and
entering into no combination by which the whole
railroad interest herein represented, should &C;
as combined and consolidated body the man

charges for the business done by Il the facts
might Justify. An agreement OF the nature OF this

in restraint OF trade. Notwithstanding there are
possibilities that restraint Of trade may also fol,

THE QUEENS SPEECH.



lati0n Propo--d.
LONDON, Feb. 9. Parliament was
opened to-day with the customary
ceremonies. The queens speech says
that the relations Of Great Britain with
other powers continue friendly; that
there is severe depression in the West
Indian colonies, caused by the heavy fall
In the price Of sugar; that there is an or.
ganized outbreak Of fanaticism in the
northwest borders Of the Indian EN-.
pire, but there was reason to antic.
ipate a prosperous year, both for agri-
culture and commerce. throughout
India; that in the estimates the duty
Of providing for the defense OF the
British empire involved an expendi.
ture beyond any former precedent.
Dealing with the proposed legisla-
tion, the speech from the throne says
that measures will be introduced for
the organization of system Of local
government in Ireland, substantially
similar to Great Britain's, to secure
the increased strength and efficiency
Of the army, amend the present condi-
tions Of military service, to enable &C.
cused people to testify in their own
defence, to facilitate the creation of
municipalities in London and to pre-
vent recognized abuses in connection
with church patronage.

TRENTON, N. j., Feb. 9.-In all prob.
ability q bill providing for the taxa.
tion OF bachelors will make its appear.
ance In the senate or house this week.
The subject has engaged the attention
OF the law makers in Massachusetts,
Virginia and some of the western
states. and the bill now being drawn
Is fashioned after the measures that
are before the legislatures of the south
and west The tax that the bachelors
will be asked to pay will possibly be
as high as 50 per capita The taxing
OF single men is not an experiment in
the state. For 80 years the single men
OF New Jersey paid q year for the
privilege Of enjoying the sweets Of
single blessedness, but In 1887 William
Mcllroy, who lived in Warren county,
became tired Of paying for the privi-
leges that he enjoyed as bachelor,

TREMENDOUS PROFITS.

Those Of the OIL Trust Aggregated Nearly
65O,OO0,O00 Last Year-$33 900, 900 in
Dividends
New YORK, Feb. Preliminary
steps toward the complete rehabilita-
tion Of the Standard Oil trust are be-
ing taken by John D. Rockefeller and
the other multi-millionaires who con-
troll the oil fields of the world. The
trust is too unwieldy in its present
shape, and the big dividend which it de-
clares quarterly on its SlOO, 100000 Of
'liquidating certifcates'-which are
nothing more than collateral
trust stock certificates issued
in exchange for the stock of
various small companies forming the
trust-attracts too much attention
from the legislatures and people. Last
year the profits aggregated nearly $780,
100000, and dividends of $4,000, 900
were declared. The capital stock will
be quadrupled. The stock Of the oil
trust Is now worth four times the par
value.
