JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Feb. 14.-Attor-
ney General Crow filed a suit tonight in
the Supreme Court to break up the plug to-
bacco trust. He instituted quo warranto
proceedings against the Continental To-
bacco Company, the j. c.. Butler Tobacco
Company, the Brown Brothers Tobacco Com
pany, Drummond Tobacco Company and
the Wright Brothers Tobacco Company, the
latter four of st. Louis. The petition
charges combination to control the output
and price of plug tobacco in violation of the
state antitrust law and against public poll
icy. 1t charges also that in 1890 the CONT
mental Company absorbed the other four
companies and had undertaken to keep them
alive as separate companies. but that the
Continental Company controlled their out
put and prices; that one of them stopped
doing business at the direction of the trust
throwing many people out of employment
The action of the Continental Company in
getting control of the other St Louis COM
panies caused the attorney general to insti-
tute proceedings to destroy the trust.

LONDON, Feb. 15--The Washington cor

the belief that to-day's session Of the Anglo

and that tho negotiations will result in COM
pete failure, the American commissioners
refusing the concessions asked by the Ca

deep disappointment to ali concerned, in

statesmen. 1t is needless to whitewash facts
The real obstacle is undoubtedly the Amer

been obdurate. and English sympathy with
her will be warm and vigorous. The matter
is specially to be regretted. looking to the
recent rapprochement between Great Britain
and the United States.

of public life" and he urged the Liberal
party to 90 to the country upon the plat
form of no guinea pigs in government.
