decision in the Addystone pipe case, in
Volving an infringement of the anti
trust law by an industrial combination.
Strenuous efforts We're made by profess

this decision on the ground that the party
to the case was a Aagrant illustration Of
a trust formation and that the points in
the case could not apply to the general
run of industrial combinations but the
acute effect produced on the securities
of these combinations argued an apprc.

their value would be impaired by the
decision. Stocks of the industrials fell

NATIONAL PROHIBITIONISTs
Reorganization of the Party in Pro-
gress at Chicago.

Chicago, Dec. 13.-The prohibition
party is the first to arrange for the
holding of it's national convention for
the nomination of a presidential candi-
date. The national committee of the
party is in session at the Palmer house
today and before adjourning the time
and place for the national convention
will be decided upon. Indiana prohi-
bitionists. assisted by delegations from
several other states, are making strong
efforts to have South Bend chosen as
the convention city. The party leaders
of Illinois are in favor of holding the
convention in Chicago. The morning
national committee saw a vigorous
buttonhole campaign waged by the
rival factions.
The resignation of Samuel Dickie of
Michigan necessitates an election of a
new chairman by the-present meet
ing. According to rumor the ways
have been well creased by the friends
of Oliver w. Stewart, and unless there
is an unexpected hitch the present
chairman of the Illinois state commit
tee will slip into the chair vacated by
Mr.. Dickie without serious opposition.
It is understood that Mr. w. T. Ward
well, who finds that his duties as treas
urer of the Standard Oil company will
no longer permit him to give the time
necessary for his duties as national sec
retary. Alonzo e. Wilson, secretary of

Orange River Cape Colony, Dec. 10
Three hundred and twenty wounded,
including seven officers, have arrived
here from Modder river. The follow
ing dispatch has been received:
North of Modder River, Monday, De-
cember II.
Early yesterday evening the guards
of the Highland brigade moved from
Modder river camp, marching in the
night in a northeasterly direction. The
objective point of the Highlanders was
the eastern spur of the Boer position,
the guards following the bank of the
river, while the Yorkshire Light infan-
try moved along the river side.
Just before daybreak the Highland
ers arrived within a hundred yards of
the Boer entrenchments at the foot of
a hill A number of Beers We're in the
vicinity. The British were still march
ing in close column when they met a
terrible flank fire and were forced to
retire with heavy loss.
''The troops reformed under the shell
ter of some rising ground and gallantly
held their position. Later the Gordons
arrived and the troops gradually
worked their way until within 800 yards
of the Boer position, displaying the
greatest gallantry. In the meantime
the naval gun at Modder river, the
howitzer batteries and the horse artil-
lery opened a terrific fire, enflading
the trenches of the Beers and search
ing every portion of the Boer position.
Meanwhile the Beers on open
ground directly in front moved with
the object of making a flank attack,
but this was frustrated by the Guards
and artillery. The Beers recommended
shelling in the evening, but no damage
was done. The British slept on their
position. 1t is expected that there will
be renewal of the fighting tomorrow.
The losses on both sides were heavy"

ONLY A SHADOW LEFT
The Real Head of the Insurgents a
Prisoner.

Washington, Dec. 13.-The aecretary
of war regards the information con-
veyed in General Otis dispatches today
as the most important that has come
to hand for months past. The capture
of Mabini. reported by Macarthur from
Bayambang, is especially gratifying.
The members of the Philippines COM
mission declare without reservation
that Mabini was the head and front of
the insurrection. Aguinaldo was only a
figurehead. The American forces are
now in technical occupation of the
point just north of the Gulf of Lin
gayen.
