DECIDED AGAINST TRUST.
United States Supreme Court Declared Oil
Company Must Obey the
Texas Laws.

WASHINGTON, March %. - In the
United States supreme court an opinion
was handed down i'll the case OF the
Waters-Pierce Oil company, involving
its right to do business i'll the state OF
Texas, contrary to the provisions Of the
state antitrust laws of 1889 and 1895.
1t was charged, among other things,
that the Waters-Pierce company was
member of the Standard Oil trust, as or
ganized in 1882, and various other alle-
cations were made, but the court did not
enter upon general discussion of'trusts,
contenting itself witha discussion of tho
Texas law, as applicable in this case.
The opinion sustained the decisions Of
the state courts to the extent of affirm
ing them, and was thus opposed to the
contentious of the oil company, but it
did this upon the ground that the state
laws imposed condition which the oil
company had accepted, and hence was
without ground of complaint.

CHINESE AGITATION.
Reports of Anti-Forclgn Demonstrations
Exaggerated, Say officials mt
Washington.

WASHINGTON, March 20.-Admiral
Watson has not yet advised the navy
department of the name of the vessel
selected to proceed from Manila to Taku,
in accordance with the request Of the
state department that ship be sent to
China to safeguard American interests.
1t is said at the state department that
the extent of the agitation i'll China has
been very much exaggerated. 1t is
asserted that as a matter of fact there is
no mora disturbance in China now, as n
whole, than at any time during the past
20 years.
But the concentration of the worlds
attention upon the Flowery Kingdom
has had the effect of magnifying little
troubles in the various provinces out OF
all proportion to their real Importance
a2d significance. That is said to be
true as to this last demonstration by the
"boxers, secret society of anti-foreign
tendencies.

the disease was yielding very percepnbly
to the treatment, and he had every rea'
son to hope for Mr.. Grows recovery
Mr.. Grow is in his 77th year, but
aside from his present trouble, is as Wig.
orous as white oak. He is tall and
straight as pine, and in the fullest pos
session of all his faculties. His voice Is
strong and resonant, and a short time
ago he made an hours speech in the
house without the slightest fatigue. 1t
is believed that he will throw off his
present indisposition and enter the cam
paign for denomination and reelection
with his usual vigor.

was read to the convention that after
noon. The subcommittee had consider
ed just how far it would go in the d.
rection of giving cOuntenance to sub
sides to the shipping interests and the
language adopted was its deliberate and
final judgment.
LAS to the statement that congress
has full legislative power over the terri
tory belonging to the United States,
subject only to the fundamental safe
guards of liberty, justice and personal
rights the committee considered that
inasmuch as this question was now be-
fore the United States supreme court,
it was neither advisabl nor necessary
to run the risk of getting our platform
into a controversy with the supreme
court.
Mr. Grosvenor says that it was
agreed and understood that the planks,
as he states them, should be a part Of
the platform. There was no such
agreement or understanding in the COM
mittee on resolutions or in it's subcom-
mittee. In writing the platform, I en-
ployed the language of the document
Senator Foraker had read to US in so
far as it was consistent with the decis-
ions at which the subcommittee had ar
rived, but when Mr. Grosvenor says
that anything, no matter what, was
agreed upon by the subcommittee and
afterward omitted, he says that which
is 2 bSOlutely false"

and management, which insure uniform
excellence of service. Overland trains
by this route do not miss connection,
because they run through. The eating
house and dining car service is of the
same superior quality throughout, under
management of Mr.. Fred Harvey. The
best equipment is provided. Employees
are everywhere solicitous and courteous.
Responsibility for the comfort Of pas
sengers is not divided.
No other tranScontinental route offers
so great a number OF attractions to the
tourist Among these are mountain alti-
tude and scenery, extinct colcanoes, pet
rified forests, prehistoric ruins, Indian
pueblos, the Yosemite, and the Grand
Canon of Arizona, which is the greatest
scenic wonder of the world. Every char
aSteristic phase of Industrial life in the
west is traverSed en- route.
The Santa Fe has long been the favor
lite route between the east and southern
California. By virtue of the same high
grade service and unexcelled attractions
it hopes to win equal favor with travel
ers to and from San Francisco and in
ternlediate cities of the Golden State.
The service will consist at first of
Pullman and tourist sleepers and chair
cars daily. The early resumption of the
California Limited is contemplated.

STUDIO FOOD
An Artists Diet.

An artist living in a New York studio
writes regarding the advantage of a
proper selection of healthful food. He
says, Some time ago a sister who had
been i'll, wrote me of the good she had
obtained from the use of Grape Nuts
food two meals day and that all the
family made great use of the food. She
recommended it very strongly to me.
Il had up to that time supposed this
was a luxury and had not tried it, but
l sent for some and for quite a little
time, depended largely on Grape-Nuts.
with surprising result. have largely
lost my taste for meat and am unusually
strong, walking a long distance daily.
which for some years has been almost
impossible
I live in a studio and have neither
time nor room to cook, therefore the
Grape-Nuts being ready cooked, come
in as an especial boon and I felt must
thank you
The Postum Cereal Coffee I have
used a long time, and if that comes
from you, it must come in for a share of
thanks also" Ada A. Brewster, 204 W.

REGRETS THE HONOR
Roosevelt Says He Is Grateful But In
sists he Is the Wrong Man.

Chicago, June pa special to the
Record from New York says:
Il can look the situation squarely in
the face said Governor Roosevelt this
afternoon. I haven't got a big head
or a sore head. There's nothing the
matter with me whatever. But the ac-
ton of the convention does not alter
my Judgment I feel very much fiat
tered, Of course, but profoundly regret
that have been nominated. 1 feel that
1 am the wrong man. I'm not suited
to the office I still believe that 1
would be of more service to my coun-
try and my party as governor of New
York and as a candidate for re-elect-
ion to that office. I have felt so all
the time, and the action of the conven-
ton has not changed my mind an iOta-
realie that a tremendous honor has
been conferred upon me and am CORE
spondingly grateful, but it isn't an
honor 1 ever aspire5 to. The vice pres
idency is the last office in the world
that I would ever seek. A man of my
temperament should be given a field
of activity, but if elected-and I am
perfectly confident of the success Of the
ticket shall no doubt find some use
full way to work off the surplus eenrgy
concerning which both my friends and
opponents have often complained. 1
am deeply moved by the devotion and
confidence that has been shown toward
me. I cannot tell you how grateful and
now PROUD am, ana lIdL Iu1k COIn-
pensation for the sacrifice am max
ing. Nobody knows but myself how
great that sacrifice is.
New York's all right You needn't
worry about New York. The Demo-
Gratis will do all the fretting, and we
will give them enough to fret about
from now to November.
MY plans? I have no plans. I had
plans, but today they are all knocked
in the head, but I will be governed by
the wishes of national com itfaa
from this time on I expect to go down
to Oklahoma City the first of next
month to attend rough riders re-
union. 1 wouldn't miss that for the
world, but it's the only fixed engage
ment on my list at present. suppose
they will send me out on campaign
| tours and I shall be delighted to go,
| but that is a matter for future consid-
| Grafton I've a lot of important mat
/ tiers awaiting me at Albany and want to
| get back there as SOOn as can"
