DECISION AGAINST TRUSTS.

United States Supreme Court Renders an
Important Ruling in Addyston Case.
The United States Supreme court
Monday handed down an opinion in
the Addyston pipe case, involving the
constitutionality Of the combination
of pipe manufacturers, which it was
charged was trust. The decision is
adverse to the trust and affirms the
opinion of the court Of appeals for
the sixth circuit.
In reviewing the case Judge Peck
ham, who handed down the opinion,
said that it had been brought under
the antitrust act of 1890, and that an
injunction was asked to enjoin the
sixth corporation engaged in the map-
ufacture of water and gas pipe, which
composed the combination, from con-
tinuing to do business under the
agreement by which they had divided
the territory Of the United States
among themselves and by which they
had arranged to fix prices.
The six companies composing the
combination affected were the Addys-
ton Pipe and Steel company, OF Gin
cinnati; Dennis Long q Co., OF Louis
Vile; the Howard Harrison Iron COM
pany, of Bessemer, Ala, the Admission
Pipe and Foundry company, OF An
niston, Ala, the South PSSsburg
Pipe works, ofSouth Pittsburg, Tenn.
and the Chattanooga Foundry and
Pipe works, Of Chattanooga, Tenn.
Their agreement provided that there,
should be no competItpn between the
companies in'thirty ss u the
manufacture and sale Of cast iron
pipe.

Outlaw Loots an Express Car. Securing
$1,7OO.
An unknown white man, closely
masked, held up the two messengers
in a Southern Express company's car
near Branchville, S. c., Friday night,
and under the cover Of revolver
compelled them to give up $1,700 in
cash. Eight thousand dollars in an
other safe was overlooked by the out
law, who accomplished his work with
out any aid.
The train had just left the station
when Messengers Ramsay and Rhodes
were covered with two revolvers held
in the hands of the stalwart robber.
One messenger was made to stand
with his hands over his head, and the
other was commanded to hand over
the money packages in the safe.
Seventeen hundred dollars was quick
ly secured and the robber, after warn
ing the messengers not to put foot
outside of the car until the train had
gotten under headway again, pulled
the bell cord and jumped off as the
train moved on.

Angeles, Island Of Luzon, Oct 20. '90,
My Dear Sir: l have now been in
these islands for two months, and l
am very favorably impressed with
them. l am quite confident that the
insurrection will soon be closed. All
that is needed is an energetic move
forwarded-the Filipinos cannot
stand against our soldiers. l cannot
sufficiently express to you the posi-

markable, the climate cannot be
said to be unhealthy, and l think the
people will improve very much un-
der American rule.
Viii you please state in your paper
that "letters addressed to General
Wheeler at Washington will be atten-
ded to, as he is expected to be there
very soon"
The letter also contained much in.
teresting matter about the country,
and reaffirms the Generals opinions
regarding the keeping Of the islands

ther:

Mr.. Ball, of Texas, and Sulzer was

The United States contributes to
Europe every year and chiefly to
Great Britain = nearly enough to pay
the charges on the British national
debt or the cost of the British army,
without any apparent diminution OF

remarkable is that exposure to
European influence does not seem to
exercise any detrimental effect on the
