COLUMBUS. O.. Jan. 5.-In the argu-
ments before the supreme court this
morning OF the motion OF the attorney
general 10 dismiss the master commits
sfoner and continue the Investigation o.
the Standard OH Company. in open
court, Hon. Virgil P. Kline, OF Cleve-
land. attorney for the oil company, was
forced into making some very positive
statements and admissions. He de.
clarcd in the first place, In response TO
interrogauons OF the court that the
company will not under the former or
der OF the court produce any books
other than those already in evidence. In
the second place. he admitted that
there are still outstanding about ST.
100000 worth Of trust certificates OF the
Standard OIL trust, which the court or
dered dissolved In 1892, but which the
president OF the Standard Oil Company
has all along been trying TO get In and
Is still trying. The court heard the ar
Suments OF both sides, but took no ac-
ton In this mornings session.
Attorney General Monnett and Attor-
ney L. y. Elnkead appeared for the at
torney generals department, and Virgil
z. Kline. OF Cleveland: Lawrence r.

and Mr.. Kline addressed the court. Spe
cial Master Commissioner Brinsmade.
OF Cleveland. whose removal had been
demanded In the petition of the attQr-
ney general, was not present and but
very little was said about him. as the
arguments were principally devoted to
the question as to whether or not the
officers OF the Standard have complied
| with the recent order of court 10 pro-
duce the company'books showing gross
earnings and distribution or dividends
since the trust was ordered dissolved in
1892. Attorney General Monnctt argued
that the company produced no books In
evidence except stock books. that dila-
tory tactics had been resOrted TO by
them. that the master commissioner
had not forced compliance with the or
ders of court, that now the funds avail
able for the purposes OF the invcstlga-
ton are exhausted. and that the officers
of the company have defied the court.
Mr.. Kline in reply stated that the
company has no books that are pcrtin-
ent to the order OF the court, save min
ute books and ledgers which have been
placed In evidence. = He declared that
commercial books OF the corporation
We're formally demanded. and when
pressed by the court he admitted that

PRINCETON. y. j.. Jan. SIX
President Cleveland. in replying to the
request of 4 representative of the Asso-
ciated Press for an expression on the
question Of expansion and annexation,
said:
N II do not care to repeat my views
concerning the prevailing epidemic OF
imperialism and territorial expansion.
Assuming. however, that my ideas on
the; subject are Anticipated, and not
suited to these progressive days, 1t is
a matter OF surprise 10 me that the re-
fuSal of certain natives OF our new DOS
sessions to acquiesce in the beneficcncc
OF subjcctinS them to our control and
management should In the least disturb
Z our eSpanstonistS. This phase OF the
question ought not to have been unan-
ticipated, nor the incidents naturally
growing out Of 1t overlooked. The REM
edy is obvious and simple. The mis-
guided inhabitants OF our annexed ter
ritory who prefer something different
from the plan Of their control which
we propose or who oppose our designs
In their behalf should be slaughtered.
The Killing Of natives has been IL flea
turc Of expansion since expansion be-
gan; and our imperinlists' enthusiasm
should not be checked by the prospec-
tive necessity OF destroying few thou
sand or n few hundred thousand Flip
mos: This should only be regarded us
one stage in transcerdantly great
movement, a mere incident In It's pro-
gress. OF course some unprcpared
souls should then he lost before we
had the opportunity of Chrls;ianzing
them. but surely those Of our clcrgymen
who have done so much to encourage
expansion could manage that dlnl-
Guilty."
