Ohio's Supreme Court Delivers Blow to
Attorney General Monnetts Contentious.
COLUMBUS. Ohio. Dec. IA decision adverse
to Attorney General Monnett In his war on
trusts was announced by tho supreme Court
to-day In the suit In custer against eleven in
surance companies. which It was asserted had
formed combine to keep up insurance rates
in violation OF the Antitrust law. The local
representatives Of the various companies
named as deien dants In the case had entered
into such combination, as asserted by the
Attorney General. but the Court held that this
allegation In the petition was not sustained by
the testimony, and therefore dismissed tho
action.
Attorney General Monnett sought to hold
the companics responsible Tor the acts OF their
agents. The concerns involved maintained
that their agents were not acting in the ca
pHcIty OF agents in these matters, and that
therefore the com panies could not be held re-
sponsible. The Court sustained this view, and
held that the action, II any. would lie against
the local Board of Underwriters.
The decision ID very sweeping. Attorney
General Monnott says there IL no way Of pre-
venting the com binations from raising aud
keeping up insurance, II the companies them
selves are not 10 bo alnenable to the law. state
Insurance Commissioner Matthews Is Rratitled
with the Courts decision, which sustains his
rulings In the case at bar as well "a in other
rulings in the case at the bar as well AS IN

lowing report made by Gen. Getncre;
THE idea OF the attack on StormberR seemed
to promise certain success, but the distance
was underestimated by myself and the local
gaides. A policeman took us round several
miles; consequently we were marching from
$3.50 p. NJ to "A. NJ. and we're landed In an Inn
possible position. do not consider that the
error was intentional.
The Beers commenced firing from the top
OF an unscalable hill and wounded good
many OF our troops while they were in the
open plain. The Second Battalion OF the
Northum berland Fusiliers tried to turn
the enemy out. but failed The Second
Battalion OF the Irish Rifles seized
korje near by and held on. supported by the
mounted infantry and Cape police. The guns
under JefYreys could not have been better
handled. One gun was overturned In a deep
ravine and one sunk in quicksand and could
not be extracated in time to be available.
Seeing the situation despatched rider to
Molteno with the news. and collected and
withdrew my force to a ridge about nine
miles distant The Beers guns we're remark
ably we'll served. They carried accurately

THE number Of the rank and file reported
missing from the Northumberland Fusiiiers Is

A despatch to the Central News. dated
Moteno. Dec. IL. says that Gen. Gatacre's
troops have gone to Cypher Cat. where
they will await reenforcements before another
forward movement Ia made. They wore disap-
pointed by their reverse at Stormberg. but are
In nowise disheartened. The enemy's strength
was grossly underestimated. 1t was expected
that they would occupy Molteno Immediately
tho British retreated. but they have not arrived
there. Runners report that numbers OF British
wounded are still lying on the veldt. and relief
| parties are starting to suocor them.
| A despatch from Naauw Poort. Cape Colony.

moving against the Boers at Colesberg. have

Signs That He VIII Not Oct n Senate Sent
on Gov. stones Certificate.

WASHINGTON. Dec. IL. The action OF the
Republican Caucus Committee In failing to
make provision fos Mr. Quay's assignment to
Senate committees Ia regarded as very sgnifl-
cant in view OF tho understanding heretofore
that his committee places would be reserved
for him The Impression 10 gaining ground
that II will not be possible TO secure q majority
vote in favor OF seating Mr.. Quay on Gov
Stones certificate.
A week ago 1t was sald that his friends could
count with certainty upon sixty votes. Now II
is admitted that even majority OF the Repub-
leans are not pledged for him, and that the
only possible chance for seating him
los In the ability Of his friends
to secure the negative assistance OF
Democratic Senators by prevailing upon them
ducng the number necessary to make a
quorum.
SO far as can be learned the Republican SEN
ators. as "a rule, are taking little or no interest
in the Quay case and with the exception OF
Senator Penrose and one or two others. are.

was approached by one OF his colleagues

upon an appointment similar In nearly all re-
spects to that OF Mr.. Quay
mo, said the Senator. Il don't think that
what l. might say would have any effect You
know didn't even convince you and quay that
you ought TO vote for Corbett"
Senator Quay has been notified OF the unsat-
isfactory situation In the Senate, and ia ex-
pected TO arrive here some day this week TO
exert his personal Influence In his own behalf.
