STOCK YARDS DECISION.
This Alleged Combination Not In
Restraint of Trade.

Washington, Oct. 21.-By coincidence
three opinions relating to the antitrust
law were handed down today by Justice
Peckham. In the case of the United
States against Henry Hopkins and others,
the government sought TO restrain the
Kansas City Livestock exchange from
carrying on its business, On the ground
that ii was an association in restraint OF
trade and therefore illegal under the anti
trust law. The association is CARED on
at Kansas City stock yards, partly in
members receive shipments of cattle from
Nebraska, Colorado, Texas, Missouri
Iowa, Kansas and the territories, selling
them to the large packing, houses par
ticularly in Chicago. St Louis and New
York. The lower court ruled against the
exchange on the ground that 1t was a
combination in restraint of trade. Justice
Peckham's opinion. in which all the court
except Justice Harlan concurred, reverses
the lower court and upholds the legality
of the association. The opinion states
Il local aid to interstate association. Be
cause the cattle themselves come from
various states, it does not follow. the
opinion states, that all persons perform
ing any service connected with them are
engaged in interstate commerce. 1t is
pointed out that member of the New
York produce exchange who receives con-
signments from other states does not
thereby engage in interstate commerce.
! The opinion adds:
I'VE think il would be an entirely novel
view of the situation If all of the mem
bers OF these different exchanges through
out the country were to be regarded as
engaged in interstate commerce, because
they sell things for their principals which
come from states different from the one
in which the exchange is situated and the
sales made
a similar rulings was made in the case
of the United States against J. c. Ander-
son and others involving the Kansas City
association known as the Traders Live
Stock exchange" In this case, also, the
court upholds the association upon the
ground that il is purely local and not en-
gagged 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.

not get into shape promptly, for some
reason. He said the men were Just
beginning to break in health when
Santiago surrendered and the capltu-
lation came at just the right time he
did not believe there was SUFFICIENT
number of doctors in the Cuban cam
paign. He thought the contract sur
geons were capable doctors, but they
were not familiar with army methodS
and did not know how to get the neces-
sary medicines. Speaking generally OF
the Cuban experience, he expressed the
opinion that the supplies had been as
liberal as could have been reasonably
expected.
Major Dempsey of the Second regi-
ment infantry covered much the same
ground as Colonel Bisbee. He said that
his command had never during the
Santiago campaign suffered for want
of supplies. Men had sometimes at
night felt the want of covering, but not
of food. Not more than half the men
in the regiment were nit for duty at the
time of the surrender of Santiago He
had heard a doctor say that quinine
and castor oil were the only medicines
he could get.
Other members of the two regiments
of regulars stationed here who were
examined We're Captain Waring of the
First, Lieutenant LutZ of the Second,
Quartermaster KatZ of the First. Pri-
vate FelduS of the First, Quartermas-
ter Sergeant Stahl of the Second, and
Private Hounchell of the Second. All
testified that while there was defic
iency in rations issued while the troops
were in the trenches in the vicinity of
Santiago, there was no real suffering
on the part of the men on this account.
They expressed themselves satisfied
that they received as good attention as
they could expect under the circum-
stances.
Colonel II. t. Seaman of the Fourth
Wisconsin complained that the sup
plies his regiment had drawn at Camp
Douglas CWis), including clothing,
shoes and arms, had been poor. He
did not consider the men sufficiently
well clad for the harsh weather, and
said they had suffered somewhat on &C
count of the recent cold.
Colonel James Pfyffe of the Third
Tennessee, whose regiment had been
encamped at Chickamauga Park pre-
vious to removal here, said the COM
missary supplies had been excellent in
quality and ample until within the past
month. Colonel Pfyffe said, in reply to
questions, that a canteen had been
maintained in his regiment md that
beer in large quantities had been sold
at it. Most of the receipts, amounting
to $500 or $500 per day. were from beer
Did you consider it proper for your
regiment to maintain a general beer
garden for all the campo he was asked
by Connor.
The colonel said he did not know but
the beer was there to be sold He de-
MED that the beer was sold TO be car
ried, except to officers. and advocated
the sale of beer at canteenS as a pro-
lection against more serious indulgence

BIG FIRE At BROOKLYN PIER
FOUR BLOCKS OF WATER FRONT
ABLAZE.
Loss Will Reach Half Million Dol
lars-Sailors Compelled to Jump
Into the River For Safety.

New York, Oct 24-Fire broke out
shortly after o'clock this afternoon
at pier No. 80, East river, Brooklyn,
and did damage to the amount of half
4 million dollars Pier No. 80 adjoins
the naval stores of John Hammond.
extending from Coffey TO Walcott
streets. At pier No. 80 the four masted
British ship Andorenha was lying dis
charging d cargo composed principally
of jute butts. saltpetre, shellac and raw
silk. A north wind famed the flames
fiercely, and in a few minutes the
waterfront for four blocks, extending
from Van Dyke to Walcott streets, was
ablaze. Three alarms and special calls
were sent out, bringing to the scene of
the confiagration all the fire apparatus
in the lower half of the city, together
with four fireboats from Manhattan
and two belonging to Brooklyn.
Heavy black smoke settled over the
East river as far as Long Island sound
and extended over the lower part Of
Brooklyn, so that it became necessary
to light lamps in business houses.
Among the heaviest losses is that Of
George Hammond, owner Of the naval
stores, which is estimated at S100 0G0.
The Andorenha is owned by +. W. Rob
erts of Liverpool, England, and valued
at $500. go. She was consigned to Rail-
Brothers, commission merchants. The
blazing vessel was towed down to the
Gowanus flats and probably will prove
total loss. The Brooklyn Wharf &
Warehouse company, according TO the
best estimates. will lose $4,000.
An inspector of the fire department
tonight said that a number OF the EN-
ployees Of the Hammond stores said
the fire originated in the hold OF the
Andorenha. The sailors, however, say
that the fire started in the bales of
jute on the pier.
SO rapidly did the fire spread that the
sailors aboard the craft were compelled
TO jump into the water to save them
selves.
The German-American stores had 500
bales of cotton and $500 bales of jute
stored in pier No. SO. all of which was
destroyed. The names Of the owners of
this could not be learned.

Tacoma of the Northern Pacific Steam
ship company was formally transferred
from British to American registry, with
her home port at Tacoma, today. Five
thousand people stood on Ocean dock to
listen to speeches on the significance of
the event and TO see the British ensign
lowered and the Stars and Stripes take its
place. Elaborate preparations were made
for celebrating the event. The transfer
was accompanied by speech-making and
music. Just before the British nag was
lowered two bands played God Save the
Queen" and 5000 voices sang the words.
As the American flag was raised over the
taffrail the bands struck up THE Star
spangled Banner" and the crowd. cheer
ing and singing alternately. welcomed
the change. Tears dimmed the eyes of
the English officers of the craft who leave
the vessel with the transfer of register as
they saw the English flag lowered.
The change of register is significant.
This is the first time an English vessel
has changed from British to American
register on the Pacific coast and the first
time an English flag has been lowered in
these waters.
