law and II Is made the duty of the
attorney general to go into court and
see that the charter of any offending
foreign concern authorizing It to do
business within the state is forfeited.
The act furthermore declares that any
violation of either or all of the pro-
visions Of the law may be declared
a conspiracy against trade and pro-
vides that any person violating the law
may be fined in any sum from $500
to $1,000 and be imprisoned not less
than six months nor more than one
year. or both by fine and imprlson-
ment. Each days violation of the act
is to constitute a separate offense. The
bill further provides than in prosecu-
tions under the act it shall be sufii-
cient to prove that a truet as defined
in the first section exists and that
the defendant belonged to it, or acted
for or I'm connection with it, without
proving all the members belonging TO
it, or proving or producing any aru-
Gle or agreement, or any written in
strument upon which it may have been
based; or that 1t was evidenced by any
written instrument tan. The character
of the trust or combination may be es-
tabllshed by proof of It's general repu-
tation as such.
In other words, the question us it

decide. not a matter for legal hair
epltting. If trusts can be checked at
all by law they can be checked in this
way. by forcing their managers to go
before iuries.

The senatorial belligerents who are
waxing wroth over the rival claims of
Messrs Sampson and schley overlook
one thing. The partisans Of Sampson
who contend that Schley is no good
insult the administration which has
promoted him to be rear admiral; and
the partlsans Of Schley who allege that
Sampson is no good forget that the
records show that he is. The best way
out of the controversy, therefore, is
to drop it and pass on.

Ex-secretary Would Vote to Leave
Philippines at Once.

New York, Jan. 25. The Evening World
to-day prints an interview with John sher-
man, in which the latter forcbly ex-
presses himself against expansion. The
ex-secretary is quoted as saying in part:
II am decidedly opposed to the invasion
of the Philippines. The idea of our coun-
try forcing its way into these islands and
forcing its government upon their 1000, 900
or 100000 population, is monstrous. 1t IS
srbversive of the basic principle OF our
government, that the just powers OF gov
ernment are derived from the consent OF
the goVSrned and II is in violation of the
traditions Of our country
Then If you were In the Senate you
would not vote to ratify the treaty Of
Paris as ii stands?"
IF l were in the Senate I would not
vote to ratify the treaty as IL stands. I
would vote to withdraw from the islands
as soon as possible.

Washington, Jan. 25.-(SpeclaD .-sena-
tors Bacon and Clay called upon the Pres
ident to-day to urge the appointment OF
Col John T. Glenn to the new circuit
iudgeship. incidentally they introduced
Judge Tompkins to the President.
The Georgia senator's received but little
encouragement frmo the President. He
listened to what they had to say, but he
gave them not the slightest intimation of
what he intends to do when the time for
making the nomination arrives.
As before stated. the race is apparently
between Col. Glenn of Georgia and Cant.
Shelby of Alabama. Both of these cam
dldates have the support of the senator's
from their respective states.
The Alabama men are putting up very
strong game and their trump card was

Georgia has already a circuit judge IN the
person of Judge Pardee, who is circuit
judge with headquarters in New Orleans.
1t is claimed that Judge Pardee now owns
home in Atlanta and contemplates To-
eating there permanently.
Whether this shrewd play will prove a
winner remains to be seen. 1t has cloud
ed the situation somewhat and the Geor-
ga delegation is working to break any
force it may have had on the presidential
mind by denying that Judge Pardee has
any intention OF locating permanently in
Atlanta.
Treaty May Cut some Figure.
The President feels very friendly to-
wards Senator Morgan for his steadfast
support Of the peace treaty, and he is also
grateful to him for being able to influence
his colleague, Senator Pettus, to vote the
same way.
The Georgia senator's are divided on the
treaty, Senator Clay favoring ratification
and Senator Bacon opposing Il.
1t Is understood the President does nor
hesitate TO discuss this subject from a
practical business standpoint with sena-
tors who visit the White House. A vote
for the treaty may cut an important fig
ure In deciding the circuit iudgeship.
