VAR WILL co on, SAYS LEYDS.
Neither Side in a MOed to Cease HOSTILE
ties-Eionized in Berlin,

Berlin. Jan. 29.-Dr. Leyds to-day made
the following statement:
i know nothing about the reported
missions Of either Mr. Macrum or Mr.
Webster Davis. Nor TO the best of my
knowledge, is either the bearer of a mes
sage Of peace. There are no movements
under way on our part to induce Presi-
dent Mckinley 10 intervene between
Great Britain and the Transvaal. As I
do not at present have direct communi-
cation with Pretoria | do not know what
Mr.. Montagu Whites mission is. except
10 establish diplomatic relations with the
United States.
All this talk about peace is sadly pre-
mature. Great Britain surely will not
succumb now. Neither will We While
We are talking here, it may be that a de-
cislve battle is being fought there, for
presume Lord Roberts has withdrawn the
'rOoDs around Ladysmith, and is mass
ing them tor a formidable COUP"
DR. Leyds repeated his former declara-
ton that the Beers, when concluding peace.
would want back part at least of the ter
ritories which England stole from the
Beers he rather expects also that a
harbor south of Mozambique Will 90 10
the Transvaal, ''fOT our legitimate ex-
tension" he added, we need free access
to the sea" He asserted emphaticaIly
that one condition of peace would be the
recognition Of the absolute independence
Of the Transvaal.
Berlin is certainly very much excited
over DR.. Leyds. He is overwhelmed with
invitations. His apartments at the Pal
ace Hotel, where the Transvaal flag is
flying, are besieged day and night by
crowds, including contractors and mining
spectators, as well as fine ladies, gen.
temen Of the court. and army officers,
who wish 10 congratulate him upon the
BOer successes or to offer their services.
An official agency has communicated
the following to the press: In spite of
official sta tements that Dr. Leyds Cthe
diplomatic representative Of the Trans
VaaD is here by official invitation his
visit is entirely by his own initiative. and
though he has received ordinary courtesy.
his presence IS entirely without political
significance"

London, Jan. 29-Mr. William T. Stead
has addressed an open letter TO the speak
er Of the House of Commons. Mr.. William
Court Gully. asking him 10 bring it to the
notice of the house. The writer SAYS:
The consequence Of going to war with a
lie III our right hand is now manifest
even TO the FULLEST understanding. The
responsibility for the lie which is now
working out its natural consequences. in
South Africa originally lay upon the co.,
onial secretary alone, but by a conspiracy
or falsehOods, the select committee OF
1897 Was hOcused into returning a false
verdict, which being afterward accepted
by the House OF Commons, involved par
lament itself in the responsibility for a
fatal fraud
Mr. Stead then asserts that ''the war
was undertaken 10 conceal the truth and
to whitewash the colorial secretary" and
he appeals TO the house to assist upon the
production Of the correspondence between
the colonial Office and Mr.. HaWksIev solf-

FOLLY TO CONTINUE THE WAR.
German Press Declares that Great Britain
Cannot Recover from the Blow.

Berlin, Jan. 29.-The latest news from
South Africa is unfavOrably commented
upon by the German papers. The Nation
al Zeitung says: The British position
around Ladysmith is now untenable
Either Ibrd Roberts must await re-en-
forcements or remove his strategic center
elsewhere, abandoning Ladysmith."
The LOkal Anzeiger says: THE defea:
at SpiOn KOp is likely to become of de-
csive importance for the whole war"
The KreuZ ZeitUng says: 1t requires a
good piece of British conceit still to be-
lieve in an approximately favorable issue
Of the war, but whom the gods would de-
stTOy they first make mad"
The VOssische Zeitung says: 'gThe hest
prepared and most carefully planned
British operation during the war has now
ended in complete fiascO. What is there
now to prop up the sinking prestige of
world power" To talk about another

TRUST LAW DECLARED VOID
Illinois Act Wiped OFF the Statute
Book in a Sweeping Decision.
Jadge kehlsaRt Takes the Case from the
Jury aBd Orders Judgment in Favor
of Plaintiff, the Union sewer
Pipe Company.

Chicago, Jan. 9-Judge c. c. Kohlsaat.
in the United States Circuit Court, to-day
decided the antitrust act Of the Illinois
legislature in 1888 void on the ground that
tire statute contains both class and spe-
cial legislation. and Is In cOntraventioI
Of the Federal and State constitutions.
The opinion OF the court bears more di-
rectly on the ninth clause OF the act Of
1893, but the validity OF the whole act is
also denied
The ruling was made in the case Of
the Union Sewer Pipe Company against
Thomas Conelly, but applied as well to
the case Of the same plaintiff against
William Dee, the two causes having been
tried conjointly. The court took the case
from the jury and gave instructions that
the finding be in favor Of the plaintiff.
The Union Sewer Pipe Company brought
suit to recover upon prcinisSOry notes Civ
en- by the defendants, who cOntended that
the plaintiff was a trust or combination
organized for the express purpose Of ere
ating and carrying out restrictions In
trade.
Referring to the Illinois, statute. which
went into effect July l, 1895, the court
says: THE said statute Of July l. 1898.
provides in section 9, that the provisions
OF this act shall not apply to agricultural
products or live stock. while in the hands
OF the producer or raiser l am Of the
opinion that this statute contains both
class and special legislation, and is in
cOntTavention of both the state and Fed
eral constitutions, and, therefore, void.
IL IS urged ;hat, granting the uncOn-
sututionality Of said ninth clause. yet It
may be declared void without affecting
the validity of the remaining clauses of
said act. If this were so, then. by de-
claTlng said clause void, the courts would
make the act binding upon those classes
Of persons within the State. which the
legislature had specially exempted from
its provisions. This would be judicial
legislation of the most fragrant character
In my opinion, the said clause taints
the whole act, and renders it all void.
Therefore, the special defense must be
stricken out"
The matter will probably be taken to
the United States Supreme Court. Opin
ions differ widely as 10 whether Judge
Kohlsaat's decision leaves the State with
out antitrust laws. 1t is held by some
lawyers that the act of 1893 did not super
sede that Of 1891. and that the latter
statute is still in force Judge Kohsaat
did not touch upon this point in his de-
cisiOn.
