Atlanta. Ga, July 6.-Judge Gambler
late tonight at his home in Edgewood
granted n temporary restraining order
against the Atlanta Railway and Pow
er Company and the Atlanta Consolida-
ted Railway TO the first named corpor-
alton. This action was the result OF n
bill filed by the State of Georgia and a
number Of citizens of Atlanta, which
sets forth that the combination of the
Atlanta Railway Company and the
Consolidated. recently perfected in
Baltimore by the Trust Company of
Georgia is a trust with the intent of
killing competition and Is therefore I'M
constitutional. The transfer of the stock
of the two companies has been par
tally completed and the effect OF the
restraining order is that further trans
fer must cease and the street railways
of Atlanta be operated for the present
under their old arrangements. Judge
Candler set the hearing for Saturday.
July 18th. unless the defendants desire
to reply sooner. All the bonds of the
new company are held in Baltimore.

gan yacht. Columbia. to-day vanquish-
ed the Vanderbilt yacht Defender, and
convinced the yachtmen who saw the
royal struggle that she IS worthy of
defending the precious trophy which
Sir Thomas Upton and his merry tars
hope to take back with them in the
Shamrock next FAN.
Based upon the showing she made as
better boat than the Defender un-
der adverse conditions, the nautical
sharps are strongly convinced that Sir
Thomas will sail home without the sill
yer mug. the possession of which has
given us the yachting supremacy of the
world since 1851.
SAILS IMPERFECTLY SET.
To-day's race plainly demonstrated
that no matter how skillfully con-
structed a yacht may be. her sailing
and ability TO SO to windward may be
killed by imperfectly setting sails.
The Columbia won the race by a
seconds (unoficial time). There is no
doubt she would have won by larger
margin il her sails had fitted as well
as the Defenders.
But to-day's race was an unsatisfac-
tory one. Shifting, battling winds and
bad. lumpy sea. with dirty rain
squalls, made the conditions anything
but ideal for yacht racing.
In windward work the Columbia
with sails drawing badly, demonstrated
her superiority, and in Il long reach
with sheets eased. she outfooted the
Vanderbilt boat Sudden shifting of
the wind prevented II trial at running
with sDinnnkers. In light weather.
close hauled therefore, it can be said
that she is undoub teddy the Defenders
superior. but what she can do in q
piping breeze remains to be seen.

The interest was intense. The Column
bia seemed more tender than the De-

stately as she lay down to her work.
Miniature cataracts poured from her
giistcnng decks when the water
spurted twenty feet high from her
bows. but as she lifted beautifully she
looked like a huge gull rising from the
water Then the talent began TO get
nervous. Gradually, but surely. the
Defender was drawing ahead 1t did
not take the yachtmcn long to dis
cover the cause. The Defenders sails

NJ. Waldeck- Rousseau replied to the var
ious interpretations explaining the motives
animating the formation of cabinet OF
somewhat divergent views, one of the main
objects being to unite all republicans. He
added that the ministers had already as
sumed some responsibility, but he thought
the backing of the Chamber necessary for
further steps and asked what ministry
could for a moment tolerate acts seeming
TO create the belief that the army desired
to constitute itself the Judge of its policy.
He further expressed the hope that it would
not be necessary to take more severe meas
ures, and said he thought It easy to demon
strate whence came the attacks on the
courts
Explaining the inclusion OF General the
Marquis de Galifet in the cabinet as the
minister Of war, he said 1t was because no
other general had spontaneously supported
the constitution and 1t was thought the
necessary punishment of certain military
men could be somewhat relaxed If the par
don emanated from such a trusted authority
as General de Gallifet. In conclusion the
premier said:
"our task is heavy. Whatever course the
Chamber may pursue, have done all my
duty"
The speech of VI. Waldeck- Rousseau was
much interrupted, The noise at times was
deafening and several members we're called
