BOXERS WAR COST HEAVILY.
Reports OF Consuls Indicate lis Effect Upon
Our Interests.


| WASHINGTON, d. c., March 19.-The
State Department has received from
United States Consuls Fowler. at Che Foo,
and Ragsdale. at Tien Tsin. reports in
tended TO show the effect of the Boxer
troubles in North China upon United
States trade, with particular regard to
what Americans lost III America during
the outbreak rather than in China. 1t
compares the quarter ending June last
with that ending September 3Oth, and
shows an almost complete humiliation OF
the American import trade, and in Consul
Fowlers language, gives a good idea Of
what a mob in China can do in Interior
ing with trade.
The greatest loss was felt in cotton piece
goods, and the cessation of this import.
says the Consul, must have been most
keenly felt in the Southern States. Prob
ably no country in the world. Consul iTow-
Ter states, suffered as much as did the
United States
An estimate of the total actual value
of the losses sustained is not easily availa-s
BILE, but the comparative tables indicat-
ing the greatest incrase in our trade with
China ever known at the beginning of
1900. and setting forth the most serious
losses to it at the end of the year, are
sufficiently impressive to serve the pur
pose.
At Che Foo, which compared with the
Immediate northern ports, was peaceful
there We're more riots and tumuts than
We're ever known before, and the various
American mission losses probably will ag-
Sreeate s1bo,o0a in gold. After June 18th
the imports at Che Foo ceased. all COM
nercial transactions being absolutely nil.
The figures submitted. Consul Fowler
points out. do not fully show American
losses for immense quantities of merchan-
disc were held I'D in the yariOuS norris
ard which must be worked off before
irnportations can begin. The losses to the
cotton trade alone are estimated at over

RALEIGH, N. c., March l9.-Durlng TO-
days session of the court for the I'M
parchment Of Chief Justice Furches ana
Associate Justice Douglas, the cross-eN-
aminat,on of Chief Justice Furches was
concluded, and the testimony OF Assocl-
ate Justice Douglas taken. The cross
examination of Judge Furches was. as on
yesterday, conducted by Hon. c. B. Wat
son, counsel for prosecution.
Chief Justice Furches had a ready ans
wer for every question and cited prece-
dents through a course of sixty years LOT
the justification of his position.
QUESTION OF CHARACTER.
A. the conclusion of Furches' testimony
Major w. NJ. Robbins, J. B. Holeman, j.
II. Hoffman and Or. w. S. Stephenson
were introduced as witnesses to prove
Chief Justice Furches' character. All
gave him the highest possible standing.
Holeman said Furches was a strong par
tisan, but did not think that would sway
him in judicial decisions.
Major Robbins, a prominent Democrat.
shed tears in testifying that he had loved
Furches all his life as a. man, and hated
his politics.
Watson was crosS-eXamininS Robbins,
and. in answer to a question, said F'urches
was no more partisan in his politics than
he (Robbins) and Watson in theirs.
This elected great applause from spec
tators, SO much so that the Sergeant-at
Arms threatened to clear the galleries.
CHIEF DOUGLAS.
Associate Justice Douglas direct testi-
mony was very similar to that of Furches
His cross-eXamination by Watson was
very rigid, involving all manner of ques-
tons of law. The only notable feature
was that Douglas admitted that, accord
ing to his ruling in Whites case, a legis-
lature could elect man to an Office for
forty years or life. and he would have a
vested right that could only be annulled
by abolishing the Office and its duties.
Tomorrow Associate Justice Mont
Somery Will take the witness stand

Judge n. ID. ribbals has written an
able article on Trusts and Monopo-
lies" for the April number of Modern
Culture. In this article Judge Tibbals
defines trusts as "1'he combination OF
two or more corporations into and un-
der one management for the purpose
of carrying on IL business of II specific
character, in the interests of the par
ties so associated, to secure control of
the supply and demand of the product
being manufactured, by reason of low
cring of prices ut will, of both the raw
material and manufactured product by
lcsscning the expenses and cost of the
manufactured article, and the suppress
sion of competition, without reference
to the public welfare"
Judge Tibbals maintains: "rhat at
the present time, solely, or at least
I largely, by reason of the effect Of these
combinations, dollar does not buy
anywhere near the amount Of the nee
essarics of life that it formerly did
and this arises from the fact that these
combinations have influenced the prices
upward by their schemes of shutting
off competition, driving out of the mar,
kets large part of the business men,
obtaining control largely of business
both of material and of the manufac-
turcd product thereby obtaining for
themselves the power of debating
prices to the consumer. Again the
idea that unrest of labor in a free
country is not dangerous phenome-
non is startling proposition to a
wcll-ordered community. Unrest al
ways creates disturbance and often
leads TO anarchy, and we need only
look at the threatening attitude of the
workingmen of this country today fol
the truth of what Is here asserted"
Judge Tibbals goes on to say that the
wOrkingmen aud the public generally
are the sufferers by reason of the foun
dalton of trusts, and adds: "And who
are the gamers? Those who Great,

pared with what they have to SELL
and they want to know what remedial

Garner, for there Is no substantial IN

this system of trusts and combines
They are secured through enormous
salaries and large dividends upon their
unnatural and inflated stock. Rccur-
ring again to the decision Of Justice
Sherwood, of the Supreme Court of
Michigan, / can do no better than to
quote further from his decision as ex-
pressing in my Judgment the growing
convictions of the great masses of the
American people on this subject:
Monopoly of trade, or in any kind
OF business in this country is odlous
to our form of government. 1t is
sometimes permitted to aid the gov
ernment in carrying on great public
enterprise or public work under gov
ernmental control, In the interest of
the public.
"'lts tendency is, however, destruc-
tive of free institutions, repugnant to
the instincts of a free people, aud CON
trary to the whole scope and spirit of
the Federal Constitution, and is, more
over not allowed to exist under ex-
press provisions in several of our State
Constitutions. All combinations among
persons or corporations for the pur.
pose of raising or controlling the price
of merchandise, or any Of the necessar.
les of life, are monopolles and intol.

demnation of all courts.'"
