GENERAL MERRITT's WEDDING.
Quietly Married to Miss Williams In
London Yesterday.

LONDON, Oct 25.-Major General
Wesley Merritt, u. S. A., and Miss Lau-
Ia Williams of Chicago We're married
yesterday afternoon In the private
apartments of the brides mother. at
the Savoy hotel, in this city.
The bride arrived in London on Sat-
urday. She was seriously indisposed
and in highly feverish state and only
left her bed for the ceremony. She was
attired in bridal costume and wore
orange blossoms.
The ceremony was to be performed in
st. Andrews church, Westminster, but
the state of Miss Williams health pre-
vented it. Nobody concerned in the
marriage was willing to postpone it.,
and accordingly a special license was
obtained hurriedly, anc the wedding
took place in the hotel yesterday after
noon, Rev. John Northcotte vicar Of
ST. Andrews officiating. General Mer-
ritt wore civilian dress.
The brides brother gave her away.
Among those present at the ceremony
were the brides parents Lord and
Lady Butler, the latter q daughter Of
the late General Anson Stager Of Chi
cago; Henry White. first secretary to
the United States embassy and charge
d'affaires. and Manshall Dodge, a
nephew of the late William E. Dodge
Of New York.
After the ceremony Secretary White
offered a toast to the bride.
Mrs. Merritt's indisposition is not re-
garded as dangerous, and 1t is thought
probable that she will be able to ac-
company her husband to Paris in few

London prerr Comment.

LONDON. oct. 25.-The Fashoda yell
low book issued by the French govern
ment having left some slight misgivings
in this country as 20 Lord Sallsbury's
flrmness in dealing with the French em-
bassador. Baron de Courcel. a speedy
dissipation Of these fears followed the
publication Of yesterdays blue book. Il
is specially welcomed by the London
papers, which this morning express
their satisfaction, notably at the view
Of the Egyptian regent. which is held
TO nullify entirely the French idea that
England lacks the approval of the
Egyptian government.
The Times says. Lord salisbury's
version Of the interview with Baron dc
courcel is decidedly a dispatch TO re-
lieve the British mind"
The Standard says. "The blue book
removes apprehensions regarding Lord
Salisbury's position which il would
have been unsafe 60 leave uncorrected. '
The Daily News thinks the blue bool
confirms the impression left by the vel
low book-namely that France is seek
ing a loophole.

investigating commission sat from 9
o'clock TO $3.50 yesterday and examined
about dozen witnesses, including q
number Of volunteer officers. it is now
expected that the commission will leave
for Huntsville tonight Major David
Nickers who was inspector general for
the Second division OF the Third corps
at Chickamauga, attributed the trou-
bles in that camp TO the shallowness OF
the sinks. He said also that some Of the
regimental officers insisted on making
poor selection OF camp sites, and In one
instance a Mississippi colonel who had
put his men in a swamp had insisted
upon remaining on the ground that a
Mlssissippian had a natural affection
for swamps. Nevertheless his men were
taken sick.
Major Joseph II. Heatwole. chief COM
missary Of subsistence, said the quality
Of the rations had been excellent. As
for the quantity. man would have to

ship Relief arrived and early the next

NO RICHTTO COMBINE
Supreme Court Against Joint
Traffic Association.
a MOST IMPORTANT DECISION.
Validity of Antitrust Law Firmly
Icsfnbiishcd-verdic VIII Affect
Thirty-Onc of Our Largest
Railway Companies.

WASHINGTON, Oct 25.-The United
States supreme court yesterday decld-
ed the Joint Traffic association rail-
road case in favor OF the United States
against the railroads
The case IS considered one Of the
most important that has ever come be-
fore the supreme court, not only TO the
railroads, but to she general public and
because Of the vast railway properties
represented by the Traffic association.
The association was formed Nov. 10,
1895, by 81 railways representing the
great trunk lines and their network
OF branches. The purpose of the asso-
citation, as stated in the articles of
agreement, was ITO establish and main
tain reasonable and just rates, fares,
rules and regulations on state and in
terstate traffic"
A similar association on a smaller
scale was established among south
western roads, known as the Trans
missouri association. The associations
We're soon attacked in the courts on the
ground that they were in violation of
the Sherman antitrust and also of the
Interstate commerce law.
The Transmissouri association case
first reached the United States supreme
court where in a notable opinion the
court held that the association was H.
legal, being in effect a combination in
restraint Of trade and commerce and
therefore violative Of the antitrust law
The court holds in this case, as in the
Transmissouri case that the Joint
Traffic association is in violation of the
antitrust statutes.
IAN agreement of the nature of this
one, which directly and effectually
stiles competition" says the opinion
must be regarded under the statute as
one In restraint of trade. notwlthstand-
ing there are possibilities that a re-
strant of trade may also follow a com
! petition that may be indulged in until
the weaker roads are completely de-
stroyed and the survivor thereafter
raises rates and maintains them"
The judgments of the lower courts fa-
vorable TO the Joint Traffic associa-
tion are reversed and the case remand
ed 70 the circuit court Of the United
States for the southern district of New
York. with directions to take such fur
ther proceedings therein as may be in
conformity with this opinion No dis
/ senting opinion was filed, it being
merely announced that three justices
/ dissented.
In regard to the Cuban debt, II is un.
/ derstood that the compromise put for
ward by Spain that the United States
| should guarantee that part contracted
/ prior to 1895, and claimed to have beer
/ expended for the benefit Of the island
was rejected. the American delegates
again declaring that the United States
would not assume any such RESPONSE
