WASHINGTON. Dec. so.--Attorney Gen.

Discussing the methods of the railroad
in establishing a common classification, the

New Question Presented.
Continuing. Attorney General Griggs
says that the legality of the method Of

legality was not raised in this case until
after the railroad offlcials had refused

postpone the time for the new classifica-

IA railroad company may raise Its rates
to an unreasonable point 1t may discrim-
mate among it's shippers, 1t may charge
more for short than a long haul, but
none Of these acts, however unjust and
wrongful, amounts to violation of the
antitrust law. To authorize the attorney
general to direct an injunction proceeding
under this law 1t must be shown that
there Is a contract, combination or con-
spiracy in restraint of trade or commerce

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3o.-Ths negoti-
ations opened by Secretary Hay with the
great powers of Europe and the Japanese
toward securing common understanding
for q continued "open door" policy
throughout China. have met with most
gratifying results. The state department
is unwilling at present to mako public the
nature Of the replies received. as this In
formation will be embodied in . special
message to congress.
Countries Respond Favorably.
But in other quarters, thoroughly relia-
BILE and in position to have trustworthy
formation. 1t is learned that favorable
responses have been made by Great Brit
ain. Germany, France, Russia (the Rus
sian communication coming as late as yes
terday) and Japan. There Is no doubt, It
is thought here, that Italy. the remaining
country addressed. will mako favorable
answer II. indeed, 1t has not already done
SO. The position of Italy is felt to be as
sured by the favorable course adopted by
the other great powers Of Europe.
Importance II Very Great.
The Importance of this unanimous YER
dict by all the first-class powers Of the
world-Great Britain, Russia. Germany.
France. Italy and Japan. in conjunction
with the United States-can hardly be
overestimated, SO far as It relates to tho
skuture of China and the commerce Of the
world in that empire. The state depart
ment is loath to discuss the far-reaching
results to be secured when the agreement
advances to the stage Of formal consum-
nation, for each favorable response Is con-
ditioned on the favorable action of all the
other parties, so that in each case the
negotiations may be regarded AZ short OF
absolute finality. But while the depart
nent Is silent, the details came from
sources believed to be fully conversant
with what has occurred.
British AnsweP Comprehensive.
According to this information the Brit
ish answer was the first to be submitted
and was exceptionally comprehensive and
explicit in yielding to every suggestion
made by the United States relative to
maintaining the freest entry to the ports
of China. The British answer is said to
emphasize concurrence with tho United
States by adopting word for word
much Of the phraseology employed by
Secretary Hay when he addressed his or
iginal note to Great Britain and other pow
ers. The wording Is such as to make
plain that the British government con-
ours. for the present, and hereafter, with
out limitation. in policy of free access

Some Irritation Elsewhere.
Although much secrecy was observed in
the transmission Of the British answer.
its general purport soon became known to
the other European capitals, and there
was not little irritation at what was
regarded as a precipitate response, pur-
posely designed to embarrass the conti-
mental powers by showing that Great
Britain and the United States were act

Held for Trial.

The coroner's inquest to inquire
into the killing of Gustav Dumpke
was held Thursday at Justice Stacy's
Office, which was crowded with per-
sons interested in the proceedings.
Testimony was given by Drs. Field and
Whyte showing that the deceased met
his death from a bullet wound, and by
Policeman Kerr, who told how he
found the lifeless body and that he
had seen Dumpke and his two COM
panions on the street before the fight
occurred. Officer Bruegger told the
story of how the three men had as
saulted him and testified that when
he fired the fatal shot he was being
held on the ground and pounded by
two of the men. He claimed that,
although not taking deliberate aim,
he meant to have his shot take effect,
as he was in desperate straits The
following verdict, signed by W. D.
Stacy, justice; c. H. jacob, Fred A.
Hoffman. A F. Solliday, Ferdinand
Schmutzler, Eugene Wiggenhorn and
A. Tanck, Jr., was rendered:
can inquisition taken at the city of
Watertown in the county of Jefferson
on the 18th, 18th and 21st of Septem-
Der, 1899, before w. D. Stacy, one of
the justices of the city of Watertown,
upon the view of the body of Gustav
Dumpke, there dead, by the jurors
whose names are hereunto subscribed,
who being duly sworn to inquire on
behalf of this state when, in what
manner and by what means the said
Gustav Dumpke came to his death,
upon their oaths do say that on the
18th day of September, 1899, at the
city of Watertown, in the county of
jefferson, the said Gustav Dumpke
came to his death by leaden bullet
discharged from a revolver in the
hands of Lucius Bruegger, a police
man of the city of Watertown. and
further say that the said Bruegger
is blemeless for the reason that at the
time of the said discharge of said re-
volver of said Bruegger he was in
danger of his life and was also in the
act of doing his duty as police officer.
In testimony whereof the said Justice
of the peace and the jurors of this
inquest have hereunto set their hands
this 21st day of September, 1899"
At the conclusion of the inquest
Henry Saum and Edward Cruel, al
legged accomplices in the assault, were
examined on a charge of assault with
dangerous weapon. They were de-
Tended by c. H. Gardner, while w.
II. Rogers appeared for the prosecu-
ton as the representative of the dis
trict attorney. On the testimony of
two witnesses, Officer Bruegger and
DR.. Field, the accused were bOund.Over
for trial to the circuit court. their
joint bail bond being fixed at 5000.
which was furnished by Ferdinand
Cruel and August Buege.
