City stock Yards Case.
KANSAS CITY, NO., Oct. a5.-The
Kansas City Live Stock exchange Is
not trust, nor is 1t amenablc to the
antitrust laws of the United States.
The United States supreme court so
decided to-day. in q decision given by
Justice Peckham, in the famous Greer
Mills case. Justice Harlan, in
dissenting opinion, declared that
such combinations as the ex-
change were rings or syndicates which,
il extended to oil, sugar, salt, lumber
and other staples. would place the
commerce Of the country under the
control Of few cliques and syndicates.
However, the majority Of tho court
was against him.
This decision OF the supreme court
virtually says that the Live Stock ex-
change not the Stock Yards com
pany, which is not involved in the
case--can make all the rules and reg
ulations 1t wishes respecting the
manner OF doing business, tho COM
missions which may be charged.
the costs of solicitors and various
other features Of tho live stock
trade. However, the details of the
decision have not yet come from WASH
ington-the reasoning whereby the
court reaches the conclusion that a live
stock exchange is not amenable to the
antitrust law.
The decision is very important
one, for II involves tho existence
OF every board Of trade,
commercial exchange, live stock ex-
change and every other busines organ
ization which has rules regulating
the charges its members may charge
for their services.

DARK FOR FRANCE
ENGLAND DETERMINED TO
CONCEDE NOTHING.


LONDON, Oct IS. From the tone OF
the French yellow book IL ia held here
that France intends to use the Mar.
chand affair as means Of raising the
whole Egyptian question. This i'm.
preston Is confirmed by comments OF
most OF the Paris papers.
The warlike feeling does not seem T.
be SO heeting as many of tho London
papers pretended, and IL has been
strengthened much by an order to the
commanders of all the war ships in
the British North Atlantic squadron
TO mobilize at once at Halifax. At the
same time dispatches from Cherbourg,
France, announced that orders have
been received at the military and ma
val arsenals there to prepare for the
arrival OF large body of troops to-
day. The barracks are being hurriedly
put In order for their reception.
The London press admits the gravity
OF the situation revealed by the yellow
book, but the papers are unanimous in
declaring that IL Is impossible for
Lord salisbury to consent to any nego-
tiation until Fashoda is evacuated. As,
however, the French minister, M. Dol
cassc, with equal frmness, declines to
withdraw Marchand without previous
negotiations, the situation has an
ominous look.
The London Times, in an editorial,
says Lord Salisbury has not replied TO
Baron De Courcel's pretensions with
the decision which might have been
hoped for. Baron De Courcel, after q
long conference with M. Delcasse, left
Paris for London yesterday.
Most OF the special dispatches to the
London morning papers say that yes.
terday the feeling In Paris was decid.
iy more hopeful owing to the wide
spread idea--which the yellow book
confirms-that Lord Salisbury had
not fatty refused to entertain Baron
De Courcel's suggestion Of compcnsa-
tion for the evacuation Of Fashoda.
M. Lockroy, the minister of marine,
explains that the movement of the
troops to Cherbourg is merely one of
relief forces for Crete and the colonies.
SCHOOL HOUSES FOR BARRACKS.
PARIS, Oct. e5.-The municipal au-
thoritics at Toulon have been notified
that that place will be the center of i'm
portant naval and military prepara-
tions and have been instructed to ar
range for the immediate reception of
four battalions Of infantry, 1900 ma
rines and 600 artillerymen. The mu-
nicipal council has decided to close the
schools, and the schoolhouses will be
used for lodging the troops. The naval
authorities have been ordered to expe-
dite the preparations for the Quitting
OF the new squadron.
To-day the newspapers here warmly
praise the exposition of the French
side Of the Fashoda question presented
in the yellow book. Tho Figaro says:
"If the British government rejects
Frances moderate and just proposals
it can only be because the government
of Great Britain desires before every
thing else the humiliation of France,
The general tone of the French press
comments 10 reflected by the Eclaire,
which remarks: IAN agreement re-
garding Fashoda can be reached, pro.
vided Great Britain does not persist in
asking for tho immediate recall of
Major Marchand. But as to an outlet
on the Nile, we have an absolute right
thereto and will brook no refusal"

SAMPSON WAS NOT PRESENT.
Tho Admirable Carriage Turned back
when Near tho Church.


New YORK, Oct. 25.-A dispatch to
the New York Herald from Havana,
says: Rear Admiral and Mrs. Samp-
son started to attend church Sunday
afternoon, but on the way they
were Joined by several American
friends, and for some reason tho
carriage turned back when almost
at the church door. Sampson did not
deliver the address which had been ad-
vertised. A large crowd had gathered
at the Old Jane thcatcr, now known
as the Old Gethsemane chapel. Most
Of the people came merely to hear Ad-
miral Sampson. The services were
prolonged nearly two hours, but the
congregation was finally dismissed
when the Rev. Mr.. Fulton decided
there was no hope Of the admiral's ap-
pearance.
I'm explanation Mr.. Fulton said
Admiral Sampson had not only prom
ised to attend, but was anxious to do
so. A majority OF Americans here be-
lieve that Admiral Sampson learned Mt
the last moment that an attempt had
been made to secure his appar.
ent indorse ment of an attack
upon Catholicism. The services are
supposed to be non-sectarian. but
were conducted by Mr.. Fulton,
whose attacks upon Catholicism
have made him notorious, assisted by
the Rev. Mr.. Dias, once Catholic, and
the Rev. Mr.. Leyte Of Boston, who an.
nounced that he was educated for the
priesthood. Their attacks ON Rome
were mild. but a circular written by
Mr.. Fulton, making fierce attack
upon the church In Cuba, was distrib-
uted."

Spanish fleet NAV be it will be com.
PEELED to go to the assistance of Blanco
when we begif, to land our army.
It is suggested that if the Spanish fleet
should get to San Juan feint might be
made at going from there to attack some
OF our eastern coast cities in order to
again check the invasion. Such a move,
it is said, however, would not have the
desired effect, as the invasion would be
proceeded with whatever move the Span
ish fleet might make, no doubt being felt
that the Spanish Admiral would have to
turn bsck to the relief of Blanco when
he saw that the diversion had failed.
But even ii movement were made
under such circumstances upon our cast
ern coast risk would be run OF all the
damage he could do before sufficient
fleet could be sent against him.
Even ii he should do some damage
along the coast it would be at the cost of
the abandonment of Cuba, and the en-
tire destruction OF his fleet, as he would
not be able to reserve enough coal to get
away again after making the long sail
necessary to reach a point of attack not
in easy reach of naval protection.
The prevailing opinion this morning
among those who are in touch with the
Department appears to be, however, that
the Spanish fleet cannot now get out of
the Caribbean Sea without being inter-
cepted by our fleet, and that an engage
ment not far from the coast of Cuba is
liable to be reported at most any time.

Special Dispatch to THE sUN.
WASHINGTON, May lS.-The War De-
partnent has decided that 1t will be i'm
possible to give General Merritt as many
regiments from the regular army as he
thinks are necessary for the Philippines.
1t has, however, planned to meet his re-
quiements by compromise. The 18th
Regiment is now at San Francisco ready
to go. The 18th, scattered through Ari-
zona and New Mexico, will get immediate
orders to go to San Francisco The 4th
Cavalry, now in California, Washington,
Montana, and Wyoming, will also be as
signed to the Philippines. II any artil-
leryman can be spared from the fortiti-
cations of the coast defences they will al
so be sent to man the batteries at Core
gidor and Cavite. This is thought to be
all the regulars that can be spared.
In letter to the President General
Merritt vigorously objects to the quail
ity OF the volunteers that are to be as
signed to his command. He frankly
says that the State troops from the West
are, mostly in a very bad condition so
far as equipment and organization goes,
and that the army that he would have
under him would be the rawest kind Of
troops. TO meet this objection a num-
ber of regiments will be assigned to his
command from the middle, West and
Eastern States. The first selection Of
this kind was the 10Th Pennsylvania.
This regiment will receive orders today
to proceed to California at once.
The advisability of sending an Illinois
regiment for service in the Philippines
is under consideration, and will probably
he determined some time this afternoon.
A regiment from New York is certain to
o. selected, and probably one from Ohio.
These soldiers will be the best produced
by the different States, and it is thought
that there may be at least 10000 sent
from east OF the Mississippi to the
Philippines. If this large number be
sent, some of the soldiers now at Chicka-
mauga or On their way there will be
selected. That being the case some of
the far Western troops will be ordered to
the Gulf.

ARGUMENT ON CLARK'S DEMURRER 70 Be HEARD TODAY

Col. Ezekiel I. Cooper who on Tues
day afternoon was convicted of conspir.
ing with William N. Boggs, in misapplv-
ing the funds Of the First National Bank
OF Dover, was taken to New Castle jail
about $50 O'Clock last evening by Deputy
United States Marshall Clark.
On Tuesday when the jury returned a
verdict of guilty, Levi c. Bird, ESQ.,, one
OF the counsel for Cooper stated that he
had given his client permission to go to
Milford for the purpose Of attending to
some business.
After the verdict, however, Deputy
Marshall Clark telegraphed to Dover the
result of the jury's deliberations and
Cooper receiving the dispatch at that
point he remained in the capital of
Delaware over night, it being too late for
him to catch a return train here at that
time.
Yesterday morning he left Dover and,
reaching Wilmington, he Immediately
went to the Federal building, arriving
there at 1885 o'clock. Proceeding to the
court room, he entered, was joined by
his counsel Mr.. Bird, and few seconds
later Judge Bradford took his seat on the
bench.
United States District Attorney Lewis
G. Vandegrift and about fifty persons,
most Of them from Kent county, were
present.
Judge Bradford opened the proceed
ings by committing the convicted man
to the custody of United States Marshall
Short for safe keeping, until he ordered
otherwise.
Mr.. Bird then asked the Court if he
had fixed the time for sentencing Col
onel Cooper, and Judge Bradford an
swered no, and stated that motions for
an arrest of judgement, a new trial, or
writ OF error, if they were to be made,
would haye to be filed before he could
impose sentence.
If no such motions were contemplated
then he was ready to sentence the pris-
oner. Mr.. Bird and Cooper then re.
tired with the permission of the court
and held a conference in the room OF
United States Commissioner Smith,
After an absence of about twelve
minutes, Mr. Bird returned and held Il
whispered conversation with Judge Brad
ford for about five minutes and Judge
Bradford retired to his private room.

lis believed also that the information
was Of a character to excite expectancy.
1t is understood that the course taken by
the Spanish fleet is definitely determined,
probably through the reports of the scout
cruisers, and that the Department is con-
fident that Admiral Sampson will be able
to intercept it.
The Department is still Of the opinion
that the Spanish fleet is aiming to get
relief to General Blanco; and, therefore,
it is supposed that the dispatches from
Admiral Sampson confirmed this theory.
1t is reasonably certain that the Samp-
son feet has reached a position where it
can command the situation, and that it
is regarded as practically impossible
for the Spanish Admiral to get relief to
Blanco.

Regarding the speech made Friday

"The importance thereof depends upon

improbable and unserviceable to both.
